In making his estimate for an nppropria.
ton OF $i65. .ODp 90 ior the fiscal year 1892,
General Raum says there is much difficulty
in toreCasting the probable cost of this ser
vice for period so far in advance. If as
many allowances for pensions shall be made
curing 1893 as were made during lSO2, the
estimated amount stall not be sufficient,
but he does not believe that this will be the
ease.
The Commissioner says that 1t has been
the roiicy OF the office during the past three
yeus TO detail larger part OF the official

Weighing spirits.---Good Effect
ofthe Bounty Upon Sugar

The commissioner of Internal Revenue,
Mr.. Mason, of West Virginia. in his annual
report just issued, estimates the receipts OF
internal revenue next year at slGj, 100000.
Las, year he estimated II at &l5O, COO 600 and
it yielded sl53 5000 The cost of collect
ion has been 2.S0 per cent; lust year it was
2sS.
There has been nn increase in the number
of dIstilers operating principally small dis.
tilleri.s, and the relaxation Of the law with
regard TO these has gwen much trouble and
facilitated f,audS.
The adoption by Congress OF his recon-
mendation to dispense with the regauging
OF spirits after rcctincation, has effected a
saving OF 800 900 per annum.
Discussing the change IN the method Of
taxing spirits by weighing them. instead of
pauging them, he says 'rhc fact has been
demon, ,trated that gauging by scales has
yielded an average OF one fiity.sixth of u
more per gallon package than gauging by
weight.
The production Of oleomargarine has in.
crease from 3. 200, 900 pounds month 10

The number of licensed sugar growers
under the bounty law last year, were 1850,
of whom I2I made sugar from cane, 4,2i0
from maple trees and Is from beets and
sorghum. The mspcl sugar production is
chiefly confined TO the New England States.
though there are several hundred growers
registered in New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio.
The Commissioner states that many.
thousand dollars have been invested in i'm
proved sugar making machinery IN Louisi-
ana, because of the bounty and the licenses
iss,lsd for maple sugar making next year
having increased to t.l0c. He estimates tho
