was imposed, and now they have been so
reduced that upon five articles more than
half the revenue Of this country is col
lected. In England, in 1865, s354, ,0OO. 900
Of revenue were raised, and Of that sum
$1S9, ,OO0, 600 we're derived from five arti-
cles, namely: fermented, malt and spiritu-
GUS liquors, and tea, coffee and tobacco, and
sugar in their various forms.
s. say that these five articles afforded
the government of Great Britain S1S9, 900, :
600 of its revenue, the total of which was
s354, ,OOO, 900. Thus almost two-thirds of
the revenues were raised from five articles,
and two of the five were coffee and tea.
Twenty-Five millions five hundred thous-
and dollars were raised in Great Britain in
the year 1865 on tea alone, and the con-
sumption of that article is steadily increas-
ing in that country. 1t is now two and
seventeenth pounds per capita Of the pop
ulation, whereas in this country the con-
sumption, though increasing, has reached
only one pound per capita. say then that
We have no article which the experience of
all financial nations shows can better bear
the duty without reducing the consump-
tion than tea.
Furthermore, this is one of the few ar
ticles on which We can levy duty without
duplication Of taxation and without di
rcctly involving other interests. 1t is Il SIM
pie and plain question of revenues. There
is no other article into which it enters as
