First sentence: SIR: I propose in this my third annual report, which I have the honor herewith to present, to ask through you the attention of Congress to the results of a somewhat extended investigation, instituted with a view not of establishing or confirming any particular theory, but rather of determining, through the collection of positive data, what policy in legislation is likely to prove hereafter most advantageous to the revenue, and most certain to establish the credit and industry of the whole country upon a sound and substantial basis.
