show that the cost of maintaining the detective
force on land to prevent smuggling amounted
to about 500, 900 durirg the last fiscal year, and
the estimated value of the goods seized by them
for violation of the revenue laws during the
same period amounted to 81, 900, besides
between 100000 and 100000 assessed upon
offenders as fines and penalties.
The revenue cutter service, on the other hand,
cost the Government over twelve hundred thou
sand dollars during the last fiscal year, and the
estimated value of the seizures made amounted
to only about twenty-three thousand dollars.
It is likely some important reformation in the
latter branch Of the service will be made for, as
at present organized it costs the Government
large sums of money annually, without render
