It is reported that there will DO doacit Of
s12 900, 900 in the revenue receipts before the
Lew year begins. There IL probably good deal
OF truth in this, since tho Secretary Of tho
Treasury las addressed letter to the Commit
teo on Ways and Means, ca}ling for ad-
disionnl taxation as the only means for
rowling the decllning revenues. Ho RECON-
menln ~ tho restoration Of tho duty on ton
and coireo, which would probably add 9a0, ,000,-
600 year (2) 10 cents nolo q gallon Oh dis
titled spirits, which ought to produce 81 100000;
(s) cents more pound Oh tobacco, which
would mako 81, 100000; aud ~ new tax on
the gross receipts of railroads, steamboats,, in
surance and telegraph companies. These itoms,
tho secretnzy believes, would swell the revenues
80, leo, 600 year aud, if still moro be needed,
ho recommends the restoration OF tile tux on
lcgal Instruments, doods, mortgages. etc. WHAT
ever tue result ,uay be, 1t will not fail to strike
tho people that tho first remedy for decline IN
revenues that euggcsts itaof to the official brain
is tho increase Of taxes instead Of greater re.
