In this important Report, it will be seen
that in the fiscal year ending June 80. ls6s,
the sum Of one hundred and ninety -one mill
ion dollars was collected from internal reve-
nue., the expences Of collecting which was
five per cent. The heavy items in this ac.
count are the taxes paid on the indulgence Of
popular appetite. The amount resolved, for
instance, from the tax on chewing and smOk-
ing tobacco was, in round numbers. fifteen
million dollars. Add to this the cost Of pro-
ductien and dealers' profits, which 10 estima-
ted to be five times more than the revenue tax,
amounting 10 seventy-five million dollars.
All the railroads paid together less than sew
en- mi llioas, the insurance companies less than
two millions, and the telegraph and express
companies not a million between them, SO

ounces and if they refuse to do it then the
Government itself, at the expense of all the
people; then send the bill to the States to protect
its citizens as we'll as legislate for them. We
have found that the great, strong, ignorant bull

problem before us is how to conciliate that ee-

The pubNc debt, IL Is stated has oeen reduced

subject TO the final action OF Congress. The annual
interest on these bonds amounting TO s452s 72S is
saved, though IL Will be paid to the credit OF the
Treasury account.
The remarkably healthy condition OF our national

800 for the recovery Of the bonds and conviction
o. the thief. GEORGE X. BUDD
No. 610 Olive street.
The reward has since, we understand, been in
creased to $4,000.
The mOdus opeTandi Of the robbery is not even yet
clearly understood but 1t seems evident that It was
perpetrated in daytime, when the establishment
was open during business hours. The bonds must
have been taken from the safe, which is situated in
the wall within the space included by the counter,
the only approach to which is through the door open
ing from the private office ir the rear. Behind the
counter the clerks are at work all day, but there
frequently, during the day, number OF persons
who call on business in the room in the rear. Ac-
cording to the present comprehension OF the rob-
berry, far it goes the thief must have entered
this rear room ostensibly business taking avan-
tage OF other people being there TO avoid being
noticed, and watching an opportunity; passed
through the door into the space incl0sed oy tne
counter and so reached the safe, ana appropriated
the bonds and escaped unseen IL seems almost ln-
credible that the robbery could have been perpe-
trated in this way, but 1t is not more extraordinary
than other robberies which have occurred in the
city in times past. Up to the present we are in
formed no recovery Of the property has been made
and altogether, it is rather mysterious piece Of
business. There are three doors to the safe, two
inside ones, but they are all open generally during
business hours
