The Financial SituatiOn-A very Discourusng

The amount calculated to be received is 1885,

this deficit Minister Romero proposes Q) to econO-
mze Sc 100000 of the expenses OF the Departments
of War, Public Credit and Public Works; (2) to
remove several obnoxious taxes, and establish new
and presumably more profitable imposts as fol-
lows:-
No. ] establishes an impost upon mining. It pro-
vdes for the free expectation OF precious metals,
except gold and silver coined, which will pay for
portatiOn from the republic, the first one per cent
and the second eight per cent. All the taxes that
mining now pays shall be abolished. From July l.
1870 the Federal Government will receive as the only
duty upon mining five per cent. of the net profits
from all mines of whatsoever class or character.
No. establishes the use OF stamps instead Of
stamped paper
No. provides for the abolition Of those duties
and the Federal tax in the republic.
No. establishes an impost upon all inheritances.
No. provides for the free expectation OF national
products.
No. establishes an mpost upon landed property

No authorizes the Executive to issue $4,000 900

While behind tho western hill-tops,
Trcmblingly the daylight falls
Dire aiming of the blissful hour,
Thy blue eyes fret on mo beamod,
OF their puro uncnrth-lke powor-
Borrow'd lights from Heaven they sccm'd
Dreaming how in childish wonder,
Thy souls depths my gaze explored
How found it, full Of treasures,
Which my guilelcss heart adorcd.
How around them, playc1 forever,
Like twin spirits from above,
Truih-unwnycring- as ever
Link'd with purity and love.
Ay, beneath the silkcn frnges
or thy jewerd cyes--it seemed
Deep within thy soul cnthron'd---
Naught but love and beauty CLEANED.
Theirs, the power that lent tho witchcry
To thy every Whispered tone,
Theirs, tho loneliness, which gently
From two eyes of beauty shone.
