The internal revenue collections for
the entire country amounted to s27s.-
4s4.5s2, which represented an increase
of slo2 1853 over the receipts of the
fiscal year Of 1898. Most of this gain is
due. of course. to the war taxes, Though
1t Is fair to assume a small part of it
may have come from the natural in
crease in business.
The receipts included s274593 collect
