Dearly with the gains on these ar

be remembered, in referring 10 the
foregoing comparative tables, that
they do not profess TO give the gross
receipts of revenue for the periods
and comparison that do the receipts
from the Same general sources merely.
The reason is that alterations In
the law changed the subjects Of
taxation during the periods Of
comparison, and thence q statement
of gross receipts would not exhibit
the relative aud economical increase
and decrease Of the revenue referring
TO the gains on spirits and tobacco for
these periods. Ii seems proper 10

It is worthy Of special notice that in
regard TO the receipts from tobacco
since July 1st, 1869, and hereafter,
referred to as being largely increased,
the loss of revenue on this article for
the preceding six months amounted
to $68 232, and il should be borne in
mind in considering this loss that the
present system of collecting tax on
tobacco had not gone into full opera
ton prior to JanusYy LIST, 1869. The
receipts for the last six months of

pared. A comparative statement is
