The report of the late Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue, shows that the receipts
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1870,
exceed those of the preceding year by
$25, 1876, ,523, and exceed the estimates by
Sl0,235,S67. The increase beyond last
year receipts is over ten millions, in the,item
of spirits, and nearly eight millions in
tobacco. Mr.. Dslano recommends that the
present rate of taxation on spirits shall no,
be disturbed, and that the tax on all kinds
Of tobacco shall be uniform. He also
recommends some improvements in the
tobacco warehousing system, and calls the
the intention of congress to defeats and
smbigui ties in the act of July I4,lS70. He
shows that sixty-three per cent. of the inter
nal revenue receipts come from FIVE States
New York, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and
kentucky-all of which is particularly
