showing at least $3.50, 900, 900 from this
source alone, In five Yeas, in excess OF the
receipts Of the United States Government.
Commissioner Delano has discovered this
wonderful discrepancy between the receipts
OF the two Governments on the Item of
stamps, and for several months his attention
has baen directed to obtaining successful
solution Of the question. 1t has long been
demonstrated that the frauds perpetrated
through fraudulent stamps has been an
enormous check to the equitable collection
of the revenue. The counterfeiting Of them
amounts to nothing In comparison with their
rendition by chemical washing processes to
condition rs good as new, even after they
nave beeu used and cancelled as the law al.
reefs, by pen aud subscription on their face.
The records ofthe United States courts show
Enthusiastically, that the ingenious and sclen-
tile minds, embraced among those who are
naturally ylolators of the law, are engaged
in the washing of revenue stamps. II has
been clearly demonstrated that men In differ
ont localities follow the business method.
cally, and employ large numbers OF person.
in the collection OF stamps that have been
once used which, when submitted to a
chemical process Of cleansing, become as
perfect rs the original stamp.
There eau bn no question but that the re-
use OF revenue stamps In this country Is the
principal reason to he given as an explana-
tloI why, In 1865, the United Kingdom de-
rived revenue from stamps of $63, 225,-
79O02, while for the same hscal year the
United States derived from the same source
but sl4, 49,, 29502.
Commissioner Delano appreciates and has
appreciated this state of fraud for some
time. Various plans have been suggested
to secure equity In this important matter of
revenue. The law prescribes that every
person snail cancel the stamp used, by
writing the date OF its use and his initials
acrNss Ia" lace. This may be universally
eco.hPsieH w'th aud the frauds still continue,

This wide difference between the aggre
gate receipts of the two Governments, when
taken into consideration with the fact that
under our law We multiply the objects Of
taxation In comparison with their SEIZED ule,
is very suggestive, and particularly so when
We consider the IA that our population ex-
ceeds that of the United Kingdom.
1t would seem very clearly to establish our
ability to raise the amount of revenue we re-
qure after reducing materially the number
OF objects of taxation at present embraced In
our schedule.
We need not more than $3.50, 000, 900 per
Gnnum from Internal taxes. Suppose we
reduce our schedule and con1ne taxation to
spirits, tobacco, fermented liquors, stamps,
special taxes, including licenses, banks and
brokers, and income tax on dividends de-
rived from corporations, and, In addition,
tax the coupons OF the public debt. By
raising the tax on whisky to 81 per gallon,
under the present efficient administration OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau, what would
be the result 1t Is an ascertained fact that
the production and consumption Of spirits In
this country reaches annually from 90, 0OO,.
900 to 1OO,OOO,O0O OF gallons. One dollar
