The old, important aud extremely difficult mat
ter of raising q revenue has been for some time
the subject of the contemplation OF Mr. Oiazza-
sarre, the late Minister Of Finance, who re-
signed his post in order to give his faculties free
scope TO grapple with so mighty difficulty.
His plan has at length made its appearance, but
its extreme length and late appearance, will pro-
bibit more than a cursory glance. Mr.. o., in his
preliminary gives 8 correct statement of the con-
dition of things including reference to the plans
for raising revenue, of the various ministers
under Arsta, up to the period when Santa Anna
came into power, and, without blaming Arista,
(but proving by the facts related, that he did all
that the laws and constitution permitted is of
course very severe upon the conductof the States
in not rendering his Government aid when their
Governors were soemnly called upon by him, in
ssembly to aid the Government with their advice
and assistance; although he remarks, that
"Hstory will say whether, by this method the su-
preme Chief of the nation saved hsrespon-blty, and
wheiber those high persOnages who called upon,
complied with the delicate duty of occupying them
selves with the salvation of their country" Tais

After eDumeratiDg the various plans of the diff
ftTent Ministers of Finance up to 1852, he says;
"Such were the initiatives presented by the various
Ministers OF Finance l will not occupy myself ia
QUALIFY ing the efficiency of then for the fufllment
OF the object proposed, because the circumstances,
and the critical position Of the country did not allow
them the liberty necessary even 10 think much less
to act. The end nces Of the States their little
GifpositioD 10 sustain the General Government, the
link which ought TO have united the whole TO its parts
and the too many coDslderati ms which that same ZEN
tra Government beevedt 10 be its duty TO have for
the said States, were so many obstacles to the adop
fion OF the system and The class Of measures required
BY The situation Of public things in general There
FORE neither Of the Ministers who, FROM their aptness
ana knowledge, could have relieved the Treasury
fromits difficulties had the necessary means of doing
so.'
But to the plan Mr.. Oazzagarre recommends
the regulation of the Municipalities, judicial pro-
ceedipgs commercial statistics, police, diploma
cy as far as it has commercial relations for is OBJ.
ject. lie says:
ain respect TO the essential regulations which should
have prefer, nee, the enumeration OF them alone is
sufficient TO give an idea Of the time necessary to carry
them out"
He proposes further:
"A reform in keeping the public accounts, reiuc-
tion Of the number of custom-houses ladmtaistra-
e,one and employees, the reduction into one code of
all the existing and to be reformed. revenue laws to
prevent confusion and for easy reference the definite
liquidation OF the interior debt since 1880 the estab
lishment Of land office for the sale of public do
main, that the public may acquire the sane with
the same facility any other object of common
traffic"
He also recommends the abolition of the Alca-
bals duty only on foreign effects and on national
goods causes it all to be paid at once. "Tns
..per cent. Of May, 1881, aud March 1898; the
"2 per cent, called de art,ia, of May and Octo-

calculated at the same time the imp 1rtaton

The duty on liquor Is considerably raised.
In addition TO the duty of 40 per cent. just
named, there ia another, called de CONSUME (cOu-
sumption duty of 25 per cent. Here is the arl
Gle in relation to it:
