OF our revenue system, internaias wen
s impost, are commented TO ting careful conslo,
,ratlOn of Congress. In my last annual message
expressed my general views upon these subjects:
need now only call attention to the necessity OF
arrying into every department OF the government
system OF rigid accountability, thorough re-
renchment and wise economy With no excep-
ion to so universal expenditures, the oppressive
burdens of taxation can be lessened by such
modification Of our revenue laws as will be con-
stent with the public faith and the legitimate
md necessary wants of the Government. The
eport presents much more satisfactory condi-
ion of our finances than one. year ago the most
anguine could have anticipated ,..,... 81 --,
During the fiscal year ending June so, 1865, the
asst wear of the war; the public debt was increased
s941 9O2 $751; and ON the 31st OF October, 1865, it
to 50 TAO 1854. 750.. On the 31st day of
October 1866 it had been reduced to 81 551 OO6
he diminution during period of fourteen months
September l. 1865 and ending Octo-
,er 31 1866 having been S2O6 37g 565 In the last
ANIMAL report on the state of the finances. it was
estimated that. during the three-ollarters of the
jscal wear ending the both of June last, the debt
would be Increased S112. 1874, 81 During that
period however it was reduced $31 1856 3S7 the
.eceipts of the wear having been $50 sos 905 more
and the expenditures $500. 529.235 less than the
estimates
Nothing could more clearly indicate than these
statements the extent and availability of the ma
tiona resources and the rapidity and safety with
which, under our form of government, great mill
tary and naval establishments can be disbanded,
md expenses reduced from war to peace foot
ing. During the fiscal year ending 30th of June,
1866 the receipts were 1858 032 go; the expendi-
lures $500 $50 $40 leaving an available surplus of
the fiscal year ending the Goth of June 1867 will
be $475, 061, 1856, and that the expenditures will
reach the sum of $31t d28 07S leaving in the Treas
ury surplus of $15S, 633 308. For the fiscal year
ending June 3d. 1863 it is estimated that the
receipts will amount to 1896 coo 900, and that the
expenditures will be $3.50, PAT GAL, showing an
excess of 752 $50 in favor of the Government.
These estimated receipts may be diminished by
reduction of excise and import duties; but after
all necessary reductions shall have been made, the
revenue of the present and following years will
doubtless be sufficient to cover all legitimate
charges on the Treasury, and leave a large annual
surplus to be applied to the payment of the princi
pal of the debt. There seems now to be no good
reason why taxes may not be reduced as the coun-
try advances In population and wealth, and yet the
