FREE rRApE--mR. BoycE's REPORT.

Direct Taxation, &c. has submitted his Rcpor,
to the House. The length of it prccludcs it from
our columns, but we condense tho following
from it,
The expenditures for the fiscal year, ending
June 30th, 1857, independent Of the public debt,
ns appears from the Report of tho Secretary OF
the Treasury, arc SG5O32.597. Tho Report
claims that tho expenditures arc greater than
what they should he under nh economical nd
! minis'r,tion of the Government, and, in proof of
;his, compares the expenditures of 1857 will,
those of 1923 Ia 1923 our population was 10.
COG, $40, with receipts into the Treasury of S2O,-
5l0,666. In 1857 with population of os. .bOO,-
oOo the receipts are S6s,oG9,2l2. In 1928 the
Government expenses were % cents to each in
habtant. while in 1857 it reaches per capita
S2.os. The one item of military expenses in
1923, was S3,C96,92i in 1857. $40. So, So
1hcac tic:rcs show that the ratio Of expenditures
is far excess of tho increase Of population. The
expenditures, for very Obvious reasons, should
not he augmented in proportion to the increase
Of population. But tay that they should he IN
tho same ratio, then the Government expenses in
1857 should not have exceeded SOS OG0, 0OOO,
whereas it has been G5.n32, $50 an excess Of 3D.
O32, $40. This result is sufficiently striking. but
it ID rendered much more so when consider
Two import ant facts: lst. That G. OF 900 acres
