but little response to this loan, and
most OF h stock was taken by citi-
zens of New York state, the city Of
Philadelphia, the city of Baltimore
and the District Of Columbia.
The $63,500,000 revenue which
came into the treasury through the
war loans was augmented by several
issues Of treasury notes which totaled
$3~6,6S0,794. Not all of these notes
were In circulation at one time, for
the later issues were used to replace
the earlier ones which were prompt
ly redeemed. These notes have his
torical bearing on the financial his
tory Of the United States since they
were h first issues of anything like
paper none authorized under the
constitution. They were accepted as
legal tender and were in denomina-
tions Of different values ranging from
SO to 800. At the close Of the war
the notes which remained outstand-
ing were rapidly funded into interest
bearing stock.
1t has been shown that the war
was financed through public credit
rather than by taxation, but it must
not be taken that internal taxation
had been eliminated entirely. A d.
rect tax of $%3,00o,000 was assessed in
1914, the levy being made on sugar,
carriages, distilled spirits and the in
comes from auctions, as well as. upon
duties and the retailers of liquors.
The iduties imposed were not high,
but they were doubled at a later
period. bringing the assessment up to
100000 and new duties were i'm
posed on certain manufactured ar
ticles. including household furniture
and watches.
From 1914 to 1917. the amour,
realized from internal taxation was
about $18,000,0 900, but as the total
cost of the war was $3.50, 900, 900, i,
may readily be seen how small wac

Secretary Gallatin, a nrm opponent OF
internal taxation. prevailed to sufn
an extent during the second war with
England, that only the smallest share
\ Of the revenue needed to finance that
struggle was the result Of the tax
1 system inaugurated by Alexander
Hamilton.
At the last moment Gallatin decid-i

made this recommendation to
congress. He told congress that n

eminent had lost the source from
which it had been able to borrow
money most readily and denied to. the
country an important instrument OF

held on this subject. was completely
ignored by congress.

customs duties were doubled. How
ever. this latter act was aEdectdedly
ineffective way of raising revenue
since the bulk of the commerce of the
United States had been with England
and England had become an enemy.
For a few months vessels returning
to their home ports paid n tncreas-
ed duties on the cargoes they carried,
but it was not long until these duties
amounted to less than one-half of
what they had been during the pre-
vious decade.

laffair, rendered his resignation.
president Madison did not deem 1t
wise to change at that time and at
to retain his post. He labored under
a terrible strain and in March. 1873,
without resigning, he absented him
self temporarily to undertake q diplo-
matte mission. In February, 1914,
he entered upon another diplomatic
mission, and this time he resigned,
being succeeded as secretary Of the
treasury by George w. Campbell. OF
YTennessee, who held Office but a few
months.
Campbell was succeeded in turn by
Alexander J.. Dallas. of Pennsylvania,
whose opportunity to finance the. war
