INTERNAL REVENUE.

The internal revenue system seems
to be relic of the past. 1t was created
at a time when the government was
sorely pressed for money; indeed, it
never would have been created except
for the stress for civil war, and its abO-
lition appears to be demanded, if we
may judge by the expressions of public
opinion on the subject.
According TO the report Of the bureau
We find that for the year ending June
30, 1883, the total receipts were SlA,-
55S, 3i4, against Si46, 523, Pa for the pre-
vious year.
To collect this revenue over 1000
persons were employed, aud the cost of
collecting it was Sj,llS,724 This large
number of government employees is
matter for serious consideration. The
taxation already endured by the people
is sufficiently Onerous, especially upon
the labOring CLASSES, whose wages are
not in proportion to the cost Of the
necessarleS oi lie. Ii taxes were lower
the price of large number Of staple
articles would bt reduced. Hence, if
the small Amy employed by the inter-
nal revenue bureau were numerically
less, it would elect reduction in
taxation.
This is a subject to which Congress
should give early attention. Any
movement which will benefit the pee
pc of the country will be hailed with
pleasure.
