INTERNAL REVENUE.
The report or Commissioner Raum

Inc nepOrI OF COm mml8B1Onef haum,
WASHINGTON, December 3.-The report Of
E. B. Raum, Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue, has been submitted to the Sscre-
tary of the Treasury. 1t begins with the
reduction Of taxation as follows: The re-
ceipts of internal revenue taxation have
increased from $ll3,00O,000 in the fiscal
year 1879 to Sl23, ,0O0, 900 in 1880; $l35, 200, .
900 in 1881, and to STAG, SOC, 900, in round
figures, in the fiscal year last ended.
There will probably be some diminution
in the receipts for the present fiscal year
as compared with last year. but it is not
likely the collections of internal revenue
for the current year will fall below $l45,-
100000, should the taxes now imposed be
retained. 1t is
Old and Sound Maxim
that no more revenue should be raised
than is necessary for the econ.
omy of the administration of the
Government and a gradual reduction OF
the public debt, although taxation may be
so wisely adjusted as not to operate as
severe burden upon the people.
When the amount collected is beyond
the needs of the Government, there is pre-.
sented constant temptation to extrava.
gance in appropriations, another cOnsidera.
llOu dlleUulnS the OVERLOOKING CO0ulLlOQ OF
the pnblic treasury which cannot have
failed TO attract your notice If the pres
ent rate of paying the principle of the pub.
lie debt be continued, all bonds subject to
call will be paid within three years, after
which time the Government will be COM
PEELED in order to dispose of the surplus
revenue to
Buy In an Open Market
the four and one half per cent. bonds which
fall due in 1891, or the four per cents.
which fall due in 1897. Should
the Government thus become an active
purchaser Of these bonds before maturity,
it seems clear they would advance in price
TO twenty-five or thirty per cent Of pre-
miun, to pay which it would certainly be
regarded as a waste of the peoples money.
1t seems to me judiciOus that the principal
of the public debt should be extinguished
as originally contemplated only at a rate
necessary to meet the requirements of the
sinking fund, viz: to the extent of about
SIS, 100000. Therefore, it becomes plain
that reduction of from sixty to seventy
millions in the annual revenues of the
country coUld be safely entered upon, and
in my Judgment such reduction Is urgent

DUDLEY DALLYING.
The Commissioner OF Pensions Not
KeepinE Hts Promises.

Keeping HIS Promises
WASHINGTON, December Sat the last
session OF Congress Commissioner of Pen
sions Dudley declared in an official COM
munication that if Congress should give
him the increased force OF clerks recon-
mended by himself and approved by the
House Appropriation Committee, the PEN
sion Office would dispose of so large num-
Der of pension cases that $3.50, 100000 would
be required to meet the pension payments
during the fiscal year 1884. This estimate
was announced over and over again in the
House and the Senate, and accepting IL aS
approSimately accurate Congress gave
Dudley nearly one thousand additional
clerks and voted one hundred millions to
meet payments of the current year. The
extra force OF clerks is just getting fairly at
work and il one hundred millions are
swallowed up during the present fiscal
year.
that during the next fiscal year a much
larger sum will be req uired, inaSmuch as
the entire force of clerks will be at work
throughout the twelve months. But IN
spite Of this and in the face OF his own esti-
mate laid before Congress last session,
Dudley now asks for only $lOl, ,OOO,OOO ior
the next fiscal year, and az the same lline
time he asks Congress to increase the
appropriation for office expenses oy
