make the business pay but the farmer,

Portable winter quarters, and fits up proper

make the poultry pay, if not carried to too
great an extent. It is very seldom that
any one succeeds when poultry keeping is
made an extensive business. On small
scale it is often made highly profitable,
but when the number is increased to a
large amount, the proportionate profit
does not keep pace. What the cause is,
we do not know, but should attribute it

The expenses of collecting the revenue
have increased from $7,689, 700 in 1856 and
$S, 982, 1886 in 1867 to $9,327, sol in 1868
1t cost in 1868 494 per cent of the net
revenue to collect it.
The taxes collected for the months of
July, August and September, 1S68--being
the first quarter of the fiscal year 1869
amount to $38,620,898 against $53 397, 1858
for the same time in the previous year
The falling off is the result of the rates of
taxation, and the repeal of the tax upon
manufactured articles. The Commits
sioner estimates the aggregate receipts
for the year at $145 100000. ~ Sc ~
There are now 204 distilleries in opera
ton, with an aggregate daily producing
capacity of 227;758 gallons. There are
459 distilling warehouses. Illicit stills have
been greatly reduced in number since the
passage of the new law.
The collection of the direct tax in the
Southern States, which has heretofore
been postponed, has been again extended
until January, 1869. The State of Della
ware having refused to assume the tax or
collect it, the same has been assessed by
the officers of the United States, and
$64, 1924 out of the tax of $74,683 have al
ready been collected. The uncollected
portion of this tax, yet due by the South
ern States, amounts to $3,000000. The
Commissioner suggests that, if this tax be
not abated, there be liberal premium
offered to the States to assume the same.
He recommends that the National Banks
settle their taxes monthly, instead Of semi
annually, and he proposes the repeal of
the requirement Of a stamp upon receipts
for money.
The Commissioner endorses the pro-
posed establishment of civil service sys-
tenn, and the consolidation of several col
lection districts, thus abohshing the offices
of eight Collectors in New York city, and
four in Philadelphia. He renews his
recommendation that the office of Com
missioner of Internal Revenue be made
separate department.

The Secretary urges the plan of re-
ducing the debt year by year, and of add
ing something to the existing rate of taxa
ton, if necessary to make q surplus of
$5O,000,000 annually. He recommends
that Congress authorize the issue of
$500,000,000 of five per cent. bonds, re-
deemable after ten and payable in thirty
years from date, to be sold whenever the
credit of the Government shall have i'm
proved sufficiently-the proceeds to be
used in paying the first instalment of 20s
and that the same plan be adopted in
reference to the remaining 2Os as fast as
the option natures.
In conclusion, the Secretary denies that
he has had any agency in or completely
with, any operations to affect the stock or
gold markets, and he alleges that it has
been impossible to transact all the bust
ness of the department over its own coun-
tiers, rendering it necessary to have re-
course to brokers at the monetary centre
of the country.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INTER
-:r.-e--~ NAL REVENUE. ~-Ee
According to the report Of the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, the largest re-
ceipts of internal revenue were in 1865,
since which time the taxes have been re-
duced to the extent, as estimated, of $173.-
100000 per annum. This does not include
the reduction of tax on spirits. The re-
ceipts of internal revenue, exclusive of the
direct tax on land and the duty upon cir
culation and deposits of the National
Banks, were: 1866, $31O,9O6,9S4; 1857,
$685., 920,474; 1868, $191, 1S0,564. The re-
ceipts from the several sources of revenue
are-from banks, trust companies, savings
