''Regarding the twenty stations enumer-
sted above, and nominally established for
the collection of revenue, it is perfectly safe
to assert that, with perhaps two or three
exceptions required by the exigency of the
public service and due to the fact of con-
siderable distance intervening between these
points and the nearest ports of entry, the
public interest would be improved in pc
cuniary sense, and would not greatly suffer
in any other way, even from a merely local
point of view, by their total discoEtinuance;
although it must be admitted that it would
doubtless deprive the existing administra-
ton of the valued services of many trusty
and well disciplined auxiliaries, in the event
of political emergency requiring the ben
eft of their organization.
'No fewer than fifty-two of these custom
houses are proved by the official figures to
have received for an entire year under $780,
600 worth of imported goods. The record
also shows that of the $50 forming the full
number, over one-half received less than
two millions Of dollars worth of imports per
annum, as the following figures indicate:
At 81 Customhouses the value of i'm
ports Is less than. s., OOO,OOO
| At 81 CustOmhOuses the value Of i'm
ports is less than. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 200 900
ports is less than. ................... SOC, 1000
ports is less than. .................... 100000
ports is less than. .................... 10000
ain the face of these statistics not many
persons will have the hardihood to assert
that there is not a very urgent necessity
existing for immediate reformation of our
revenue service. At least it would appear
somewhat difficult to defend the expendi-
| ture of over sixteen hundred dollars at such
an out-of-the-way inland city as Wheeling,
ia West Virginia, merely for the sake of re-
cording the receipt Of nineteen dollars in
| twelve months. Nor would it be found
more easy to prove the practical benefit to
the country Of expanding over two hundred
times the amount received at Michigan
