Washington SPECIAL.
The work which the internal revenue system
has accomplished since its creation in 1862 is
wonderful 1t has practically paid the interest
on the public debt and also made the reductions
in the debt ITSELF The receipts from this
source since 1862 have been 49, 22O 995, 972 being
a larger sum than the public debt ever was ct
at any time! The highest sum ever reached was
in 1866 when the public debt was SO, 773 236, IT'D
1t has now been reduced to 81, 45O, DOC, 900,
showing that 81, 1923. 900, 600 have been paid.
The interest upon the public debt has been,
since the creation of the internal revenue sys-
TEN iii 1862 about So, DOC, 000, 600. The system
has thus far just about paid the public debt, in
tel'est and principal up to the present time. The
receipts in the past year were about $75 600, 900
in excess of the interest upon the public debt
The receipts were $12I 600 or a little over So
for each person in the United States, while
the interest charge is now about n$47, 900, 600
per year, or So cents per capita The
debt itself is little over $25 per head for each
person in the United States. The internal reve-
nue. system, If allowed to run, would pay all in
tefest charges upon the debt, and eStinguish the
debt itself within the next fifteen years, perhaps
sooner, or indeed as soon as it is possible to-
pay the debt Under the terms on which the bonds

New York has paid more thanany other State
her total being 1913. Alb IA Illinois comes next
1919, 7l5, 09l. Ohio crowds Illinois pretty closely
her total being $347 100, 098. New York gained
her proud place at the headof the list BY the
amounts paid in the early history Of the inter
nal revenue system, when incomes and nearly
every business were taxed. Now she does not
pay 50 much as Illinois or Kentucky and about
the same amount as Ohio She paid in the past
year $l3, T60 484, while Ohio paid $50 020, 264;
Kentucky, $I8,583, 172, and Illinois, 1928 500. 484
The largest sum paid in any one year was in
the very year in which the public debt attained
its highest point 1S66-the sum paid in that
year being 1910, COG, 98417, or considerably
more than double the interest charge Since
the beginning Of the system the receipts have
never fallen below $lO0, 000,eO0 per year the
lowest point attained being in 1874 the receipts
for that year being $l02, 100000. The receipts
for the present fiscal year, which will end with
Juue20, 1850 will, it is estimated, reach about
$3.50, 900 060

were approached to-day on the subject, but
neither of them knew anything about it

seize the government of the union.
e 1t can't be done. That seizure can
not be made" That means great
deal. 1t means that as the South fur
nishes three-fourths of the Democratic
strength it will be given the lead and
control of the nation in the event of a
Democratic triumph. 1t means that
the great financial and industrial sys-
tenn of the country shall be placed I'M
der the direction. of the South; that
our currency, our banks, our tariff, our
internal revenue laws-in short, that
our whole system upon which the bust
ness Of the country depends, shall be
placed under the control of that sec
ton. 1t means that the constitutional
amendments to which they are so Bit
terly opposed shall be enforced, only
SO far as they may believe in them /;
that the national credit as guaranteed
in the fourteenth amendment; that
the payment of pensions to the soldiers
OF the union, as guaranteed in the
same amendment, shall be under their
| control; and what the control might
mean can be measured by the bitter
ness with which those amendments
were resisted by the Democrats of the
South. There is not one measure of
banking, of tariff, of finance, of public
credit, of pensions, not one line of adj
ministration upon which the govern
ment is conducted to-day, to which the
Democrats of the South are not re-
corded as hostile, and to give them
control would mean change, the like
OF which has not be known in modern
times. 1t would be as if the dead
Stuarts were recalled to the throne of
England; as if the Bourbons should
be invited to administer the govern
ment of the French republic: as
though the Florentine dukes should
be called back and empowered to
govern the great kingdom of Italy.
[" Good" and cheers.
Mr.. Blame then goes on with his re-
marks, showing that the Democratic
triumph would be fearful misfortune
to the South itself.
