The internal Revenue OF the North

A recent lslter Published in a Washington paper says
/. i The opinion Of the u. States Excise Commissioner
that the amOaatof revenue coming monthly through hs

than thirty malous, or three hundred and sixty millions
Of dollars per ysar. The Montgomery ASvsrtisur makes
q ccndsrsAtiou which ought to convince even the f.
na.ics of the North that there can be no truth In this
statement No people ever did or could pay such a tax
on their industry. Assuming that tbero are twenty mil
lions of peeple IN the Northern States, this tax for q sn-
gle o.. ct would call upon every man, woman And ~
in the country for eighteen dollars. They would "a :
have their slass, eounty and district taxes to pay, whSi
ucu:d doubtless swell the sum 70 s considerable ertens
The Yankee G~oVernmezt viii be unable to collect this
tex in moro thar twenty States, which would render It
necessary for cab Sat. TO hand over to the General

The idea Of collecting three hundred and sixty MIL
