still in force. But, after January next,
the duty on tea will be fifteen cents a
pound, instead of twenty-five; that on
coffee three cents a pound, in place Oi
FIVE molasses FIVE cents per gallon In
stead of eight; dried fruits from five cents
to two and half cents per pound; and
spices will be reduced in duty about fif-
ty per cent.

Such is a complete view ofthe exemP-
tions and reductions Of taxes under the
internal revenue system. The whole
constitutes long step in the right direc'
ton, of throwing off burdens upon in
dustry and enterprise, and as the Treas
ury can now spare the revenue they
have been yielding, they will go into ct
| feet not an hour too soon.
