requires time and caution, and vast labor
and, with all these, experience is needtul TO
test the value of the system, ard correct It's
errors. Such has been the work which Con-
gless was called upon to perform. | am
happy to say that daily results are proving
the Internal Revenue Act to exceed in efh-
cheney the most sanguine expectations of its
authors. In the month OF June, 1863, i
Welded about four and one-half millions of
dollars, while the corresponding month Of
this year returned about fifteen millions, un-
der the same law. Under the new Jaw,
which went .otC operation on the first day
Of the present month, the Treasury not IN
frequently receives one million in day. As
time ard experience enable the officers en-
ployeG in collecting the revenue to enforce
the stringent provisions of the new law,
trust that million per day will be found the
rule and not the exception. Still much
space is undoubtedly left for Improvement
in the law, and in its administration, as a
greater amount of necessary inform ltion is
acquired. The proper sources of revenue,
and the most effective modes of obtaining it,
are best developed in the execution of ex
isting laws And have caused measures to
be initiated which will, it is believed, enable
Congress so to improve and enlarge the sys-
tenn as, when taken in connection with
the revenue from customs, and other sources,
to afford ample and secure basis for the ma
tional credit. Only on such a basis, and
steady and vigorous restraint upon currency
can rcmedy be found for existing evils.
Such restraint cali only be exercised when
the government is furnished with means to
provide for its necessities. But without the
aid of a patriotic people, any government is
powetless, for this or any other desirable
end
