Thursday Mr. Morrell from the Committee of Ways
and Means
reported the following
new
financial bill
:
“Thatthe act entitled ‘An act to
provide ways and means to sup¬
port the government,’ approved March 3, 1865, shall be extended
and construed to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury,
at his dis¬
cretion, to receive any Treasury notes or other obligations issued under
any act of Congress, whether bearing interest or not, in exchange for
any description of bonds authorized by the act to which thU is an
amendment; and also to dispose o! any description of bonds authoriced
by said act, either in the United States or elsewhere, to such an amount,
in such manner and at such rates as he may think advisable, for lawful
money of the United States, or for any Treasury notes, certificates of
indebtedness, or certificates of deposit, or other representations of
value which have been or may be issued under any act of
Congress—
the proceeds thereof to be used only for retiring Treasury notes or other
obligations issued under any act of Congress. But nothing herein con¬
tained shall be construed to authorize any increase of the public debt;
provided that the bonds which may be disposed of elsewhere than in
the United States may be made payable, both principal and interest,
in the coin and currency of the country in which they are made
pay¬
able, but shall not bear a rate of interest exceeding five per centum per
annum ; and provided, further, that the act to which this is an amend¬
ment shall continue iu full force all its provisions,
except as modified
by this act”

attention to the general report and to discuss some of the failure and effort have elaborated and simplified till they
constitute perhaps the most perfect system in the world, are
important fiscal principles suggested.
It will be remembered that the chief questions submitted cited as an example which we shall do well to emulate. But
by Congress to the Commission were, first, what sources we in legislation, and most of all in tax legislation, we must

the proper subjects of taxa¬
tion, it is well known that our present excise taxes are too
numerous
and too
widely distributed.
One of the funda¬
mental axioais of taxation is that the articles
the burden should be few.
It is
on
charged with
certain well selected
points only that our national industry will bear the rude shock
of taxation without suffering too severely. These points are
to be sought out, that the fiscal pressure may be adjusted so
as to rest chiefly on them. Instead of clogging each of its
several wheels, the industrial machinery uf the country is to
be freed from friction as far as possible that it may the
better perform its wealth-producing work. Now, we have
other
foreign systems.
Economy of collection is another of the fundamental prin¬
ciples of taxation assumed in this revenue inquiry report.
It must never be forgotten that taxes are paid by our people
not only in money, but in loss of time, and in vexatious
interruption of the work of productive industry. Hence
those taxes are the best which cost the least to colject, impose
the least loss of time on those who have to pay them, and
require the least of inquisitorial supervision on the part of
the assessors.
On the other hand every new tax opens new
avenues to corruption, and creates a new crime; while the
forfeitures and penalties which are needful to enforce revenue
claims may ruin industrious, ingenious persons and thus put
an end for a time to the
benefit the country might have
derived from their capital and enterprise.
While we acknowledge the truth of these principles as
laid down with less or more precision by the Revenue Com¬
missioners, it must not be supposed that we accept all their
or
repeatedly that it is one of the distinguish¬
ing peculiarities of our internal revenue system that this
great cardinal maxim has been more disregarded than proba¬
bly in any other fiscal law that was ever passed in modern
times.
A majority of the articles on our tax list cannot,
with advantage, be taxed at all. The proceeds of not a few conclusions or approve all their suggested changes. We

who are the richest and the most able to pay, and to some
checks the growth of their industry, and prevents the devel
opment of public and private wealth. The most sensitive other suggestions which are scarcely in accordance with
and most vulnerable parts of the body politic are exposed to sound policy or with the most enlightened views of the fiscal
injury, while those parts which could easily bear the pressure situation.
The great defect in the report in this point of view is that
are comparatively exempt.

at call, 6J per cent if with seven, and 7
per cent if with fourteen days’
notice of withdrawal, it is quite impossible that the public will at the
present moment make investments in securities which only pay about
8^ per cent per annum ; hence one cause of the continuous fall in the
value of Consols. In foreign securities (apart
from American) the
principal change has been in Mexican, which, owing to various rumors
from New York respecting
the Mexican Empire, fell as low as 21J, but
the market has since recovered to some extent. The new

of profit commensurate with the risk incurred. In order to show the great

COMMERCIAL AND MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
Looking at the present state of trade and knowing the feeling which
manifests itself in most quarters, as to the
probable extent of this
country’s commercial intercourse with other nations during the current
year, the present moment is peculiarly favorable for endeavoring to
obtain a tolerably approximate, idea of the future trade, and of observ¬
Gold, January, 1866.—The year opened with gold
144£, gradually declining during the first week to the neighbor*
hood of 140, and on the 9th dipping to 136J ; the fluctuations have
since then been very small, the range for the last two-thirds of the
month not having exceeded 3T vibrating in the meanwhile from
141 i t-o 1371, and closing on the 3lst at 139|. The total range of
the month was between the prices of the 2d and those of the 9th a
difference of 7The following table, constructed from the Gold
Exchange Lists, shows the daily fluctuations for the month :

ing how far the present state of affairs will allow of the great transac¬
are
likely to be effected in manufactures and produce. Al¬
ready our trade with America as far as relates to exports has assumed
great proportions, and under the influence cf peace, the several States
of the Union will make rapid progress towards
repairing the disasters
of the late war. Some persons here are of
opinion that we are over¬
trading extensively with America; that we are allowing American houses
who transact business freely in our markets, much
longer credit than
usual, and that the consequences will be that the present year will be
one of
great commercial activity ; but will, in the end, lead to a finan¬
cial crisis, and to an almost unprecedented number of failures both
here and at New York. This opinion which is, in fact, entertained
by
many persons seems to me to have gained ground from a misrepre¬
sentation of the actual value of our imports of cotton fioni America.
According to the last statement issued by the Board of Trade, it ap
pears that the value of the American cotton imported during the ten
months ending October 31, was only £2,534,992. This sum is undoubt¬
edly incorrect, the imports into Liverpool from January 1 to November
1 having amounted to 323,070 bales, which, at £30
per bale—the value
at which American cotton is now estimated
by the Liverpool brokers
would produce a sum of £9,000,000.
Estimating, therefore, the va¬
lue of American cotton imported at eleven millions
sterling, and bear¬
ing in mind that the exports of breadstuff's and several other articles
from New York are increasing, the balance of trade
against America
does not appear so great that it cannot be
adjusted without anticipat¬
ing any serious difficulties. Besides, the actual trade between this
country and America in 1865, was not so greatly in excess of 1864 and
1868 ; the
activity in the various departments of commerce in which
American buyers are interested,
being confined to the last four months
of the year, whilst,
during the previous eight months, those depart¬
ments were
comparatively quiet. From the following table it will be
seen that the trade of
September, October, November, and December,"
was
equal to the whole trade of the previous eight months, and an ex¬
planation is, therefore, soon arrived at, as to the cause of the rapid iutions which

exports of British and Irish produce to America last
therefore, between three and four millions greater than in 1864;
but, on the other hand, our imports of American cotton at Liverpool
have been augmented to the extent of 250,000 bales, which, at £30 per
bale, would be worth £7,500,000.
Assuming, however, that the esti¬
mate of £30 per bale is excessive, from the fact that a large proportion
of the American cotton now received is in damaged condition, there is
still a sufficient increase in the value of cotton imported from, to account
fir the augmented value of the«various articles of British produce and
manufacture exported to, America in the course of last year. But, never¬
theless, it is quite necessary that the greatest caution,should be exer¬

Report 0*
or
the
Special
Commission.—We give below the report of the commission
appointed by the
Secretary of the Treasury in accordance with the provisions of section 19 of the
Amendatory Act of March 3,1865, “ To provide Internal Revenue.”
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY THE COMMISSION.
After citing the provisions of the act
constituting the commission, and the
nature of the work to be done,
they state that one of the
encountered from the outset has been to obtain exact and greatest difficulties
comprehensive in¬
formation; and the commission, as the result of their experience, feel war¬
ranted in asserting that no full and reliable statistics
concerning any branch of
trade or industry in the United
States, with possibly a few exceptions, are now
have ever been available.
The census of 1860, only made available for detailed
reference some four or
live years after its
enumeration, has been to the commission of but little ser¬
or
vice.
Nor do the statistics which have been furnished from
time to time bv the
Treasury Department afford the knowledge of these facts which are so essen¬
tial as a groundwork for the labors of the
commission.
Tn the Bnreau of Internal Revenue a better
returns of revenue, and the amounts received system prevails, and the published
from specific sources, are believed
to he
substantially correct. Overburdened, however, as this bureau was with
work, and delayed by a want of
promptness on the part of district collectors,*
many of whom are destitute of business experience, it was unable to
furnish
the commission with
detailed statement of its specific sources of revenue
for the fiscal year
ending June 30,1865, until nearly six months thereafter.
Another great source of difficulty exp rienced
by the commission in conduct¬
ing their investigations, with a view of arriving at any correct estimates of the
future revenue of the country,khas been the abnormal and
disturbed condition
of every branch of trade and
industry since 1801, owing to the effects of the
war, the frequent alterations of the tariff, and the inauguration of the
internal
revenue system.
Many branches of trade and industry have been curtailed dur¬
ing this period from thirty to seventy-five per centum, aud some few have been
entirely destroyed.t Every advance made in the tariff and the excise has. moi c
over, been anticipated to such an extent by
every
manufacturers and speculators, that it cannot be saidclass of importers, dealers,
as yet that the
government
has ftilly tested the capaciiy of
any one of what may be considered as its great
and legitimate sources of revenue.
any
*****
This abnormal condition of things,
coupled with the fact that the excise has
been levied, to a great extent, on a basis of
greatly inflated values, renders it
extremely difficult to predicate anything with certainty
concerning the future
from the immediate
past.
REVENUE SYSTEM OF GREAT BRITAIN.
The commission then give a resume of the revenue
systems of Great Britain
and France, showing that in Great Britain all duties
burthensome to the man¬
ufacturer have gradually been
repealed, both in the nature of custom and excise,
the policy being to enable the British
producer to apply the largest amount of
home labor to the smallest value in
foreign staples, under conditions which
enable him to
put his product into foreign markets at the lowest possible cost.
This principle Is the key to British free
trade, and it is claimed to be of uni
versal applicability; but it
may be gravely questioned whether it is not protec¬
tion in a more subtle form. Such is the
opinion of Mr. Block, a modern French
economist of eminence, who classes under
protective measures the freeing of
nw materials and of food from
customs duties.
The gross revenues of the United
Kingdom for the year ending March 31

by the foregoing analysis, that direct taxes,

than seven¬
ty-six per cent.-of the whole revenue, in the following proportions
.‘—Direct
taxes, eighteen per cent; registration and stamps, twenty-three par
cent; cus¬
toms duties (excluding sugar), four and a half
per cent; sugar, six per cent;
beverages, twelve per cent; and tobacco, thirteen per cent. The deficit in the
Freuch budget for 1864 is reported at-about
50,000,000f.
Comparing the French with the English revenue system, we observe the same
exemption from taxation of eomc industry, especially of those manufactures
which Ann a market in

pcrficting of
which the best efforts of British
statesmen, for at least the last quarter of a cen¬

some indications of what

leads to an undue enhancement ot prices,
a decrease both of production and consumption, and consequently of wealth, a
restriction of exportations and of foreign commerce, and a large increase in the
machinery and expense of the revenue collection.
In respect to the injurious influence of this duplication of taxes upon the in¬
dustry of the country, the Commission cannot speak too strongly. Its effect has
already beeu most injurious. It threatens the very existence—even with the
protection of inflated prices and a high tariff—of many branches of industry;
and with a return of the trade and currency of the country to anything approxi¬
mating its normal condition, it must, by checking development, prove highly
disastrous.
The influence of the duplication of taxes in sustaining prices, is also, in the
opinion of the Commission, l'ar greater than those not conversant with the sub¬
ject generally estimate, and were the price of gold and of the national currency
made at once to approximate, and the iiresent revenue system to continue un¬
changed, it would be impossible for the'prices of most products of manufactur¬
ing industry to return to anything like their former level. In proof of this, the
less one of itsi greatest imperfections,
from taxation is the exception, rather

With the return of at least one and a half millions of men from unproductive
to productive avocations ; and a renewed demand for cotton and naval stores at
greatly enhanced prices, coupled with a renewed a iliiy to supply the same, the
Commission think it safe to estimate the average value of our exports for the
three years next succeeding June 30, 1866, at no less than four hundred millions
of dollars; and as experience has shown that the demand for foreign commod¬
ities by the people of the United States is limited mainly by their capacity to

theYollowing illustrations:
By Section 94 of the Act of June 30, 1804, a tax of five per cent (or its equiva¬
lent in specific duties) was imposed upon the sale of most of the industrial pro¬
ducts of the country—lumber, breadstuff's, maple and sorghum syrups and sugar,
whale and fish oils, and a few other articles excepted.
By the amended Act of March 3, 18(55, an increase of twenty per cent was
made to the above rates, making thjj present general manufacturing excise tax
six per cent, ad valorem on the sale prices of the product.
Under the operation of this law, the government now levies and collects from
eight to fifteen per cent, (and even, in some instances, twenty per centum) on
almost every finished industrial product. In order to fully understand the rea¬
son of such conclusions, it must be borne in mind that but comparatively few
products of manufacturing industry come to the consumer as the result of one
process, but that thefln.sued product is almost always an aggregate of several

Indeed, in view of the facts developed by the Commission in their investiga¬

ing articles of importation by reason of the war (see special reports on tea,
cof¬
sugar), and the almost equally rapid increase in the consumption of tb«
articles sine® the war, they think they may safely assign a greater revenue

INTERNAL REVENUE.

and separate manufacturing processes.
good illustration of this principle, and of the working of the revenue laws
in respect to the same, drawn from one of the many statements of experience
submitted to the Commission, is presented in the manufacture of umbrellas and
parasols, as curried on in the ciiies of New York and Philadelphia. It was
formerly the practice of umbrella-makers to manufacture, the main- constituents
of their product as one business, but now the business of an umbrella manufac¬
turer is rather to assemble the various constituents of au umbrella or parasol,
which are made separately and in different parts of the country. Thus, for ex¬
ample, the sticks, when of wood, are made in Philadelphia and in Connecticut,

1862, took effect September, 1, and the receipts for the fiscal
1863 are hut ibr ten mouths. A discrepancy exists between these amounts,
and those from the ottiee of the Secretary.of tne Treasury.
The same receipts
are not always reported and entered upon the hooks of the two offices on the
same day.
The difference is only one of account.
*
the tips, the elastic baud, the rubber of which the baud is com
posed, the silk tassels, the buttons, and the cover of silk, gingham or alpaca,
are all distinct products of manufacture ; and each of these constituents, if of
domestic production, pays a tax, when sold, of six per cent, ad valorem, or its
equivalent. The umbrella manufacturer now aggregates all these constituent
parts, previously taxed, into a finished product, and then pays six per centum
on the whole.
It is, therefore, evident that under the present'excise system all
the parts of the umbrella are taxed at least twice, and in some instances three
times, thus addiug fiom twelve to fifteen percent, to the cost of the umbrella
direct; while we may feel certain, moreover, that each separate manufacturer
makes the payment of the six per cent, tax on his special product an occasion
for adding from one to three per centum additional to its cost price. In some
instances, known to the Commission, this addition, thus made by the manufac¬
turer by reason of the payment of his general manufacturing tax'has amounted

each individual in the nation, ovefr which nothing could pass in or out, not
smitten with a tax—repeated at each border.
Another matter of more serious importance in its hearing upon the industry
of the country than the duplication of taxes, is the lack of equalization or ad¬
justment between the tariff and the excise.
This subject, which the Commission, from lack of time, have not been able to
investigate as fully as they desired, but upon which they propose to present a
special report, demands the serious and prompt attention of Congress. * *
POLICY FOR THE FUTURE.
under the
tariff and
it may be urged that, the remedy for the latter difficulty is most easy,
viz., by increasing the tariff. To this, however, as a permanent measure, there
are most serious objections, inasmuch as the lack of equalization is not con¬
fined to the articles specified in our illustrations, but is very general, and will
the excise,
more
and more extensive as the
value of currency approximates to that of
tariff, sufficient to remedy all the difficulties,
would render the tariff itself almost prohibitory, or at least so high as to invite
continued assaults, deprive it of all elements of stability, and increase the
business of the contrabandist. The remedy, therefore, for the difficulties above
pointed out and illustrated, save in a few striking instances, which have prob¬
ably resulted from oversight in the framing of the law, must, in the opinion of
the Commission, he sought for in such a revision of the present internal revenue
system as will look to an entire exemption of the manufacturing industry of the
United States from all direct taxation (distilled and fermented liquors, tobacco,
and possibly a few other articles excepted). This the Commission are, unhesi¬
gold, while an increase in the

of the country amounted to nearly sixty per cent, of the gross internal revenue
In 1863; to sixty-four and a half per cent, in 1804; and to nearly fifty per cent, in
1865, it is evident that a radical change of the kind recommended should uot be
made at once, but gradually and according as experience satisfies us of our
ability to substitute other and less objectionable forms of taxation, adequate to
produce a revenue corresponding to that relinquished.
*

Assuming, then, that the policy indicated—which we may here restate in
brief to be the abolition or speedy reduction of all taxes which tend to check
development, and the retention of all those which, like the income tax, falls
chiefly upon realized wealth—is accepted as the desirable future revenue policy
of the country, the question next arises, in what manner and to what extent can
it he carried out, and at the same time insure to the Government a revenue
adequate to its necessities.

According to the estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury, there will he re¬
quired, for the year ending June 30.1867, to meet the expenditure of the Gov¬
ernment, and to provide for the interest on the public debt, a reverue of
$284,317,181. Assuming this estimate as a basis, let us now examine, in detail,
the sources whence the revenue necessary to meet this expenditure can be drawn.

SPIRIT
Of the various sources of revenup included
under the internal revenue, that
of distilled spirits ranks first in importance.
The amount of revenue derived
from this source for the several fiscal years during which the Internal Revenue
Law has been in operation, is as follows:

$3,229,99 79

During the fiscal
year 1S03, the tax was uniformly twenty cents per gallon.
1S04, the tax was twenty cents until March 7th, after which
From July 1st. 1804, until January 1st, 1805. it was $1 50 per
gallon, and afterwards $2 00. Of the receipts from excise on distilled spirits in
the year 1865, $3,802,753, or
nearly one-fourth of the whole amount was from
spirits previously bonded, and paying the former rate of twenty and sixty cents
per gallon.

lons.
The amount of distilled spirits produced in the country during the year 1800,
was in excess of ninety millions of
gallons. The amount at present required
to meet the consumption of the country,
under the
taxation imposed upon this article, is estimated
influence of the high rate of
by the Commission at from
forty-two to forty-five millions of gallons; and with the continuance of the
present rate of excise, they have no reason to believe that this amount will, for
some years to come, be either
largely increased or diminished. *
*
*
In regard to the rate of tax to be
imposed upon spirituous or distilled liquors,
the Commission are unanimously of the
opinion that the present rate of two
dollars per gallon is in excess of the proper
revenue standard, and that a reduc¬
tion will be for the interests both of the revenue and of the
country. The rea¬
sons which have led to this conclusion are
presented in detail in the “ Special
Report (No. 5) on Distilled Spirits,” to which the Commission would respect¬
fully ask attention. They accordingly recommend that the rate of tax on dis¬
tilled spirits be reduced to one dollar per gallon.
From September 1, 1S62, to March 3, 18G3, the tax was one dollar per
barrel,
of not more than thirty-one gallons: from that date to April 1, 1804, sixty cents;
and since that time, one dollar.

COTTON.
The attention of the Commission has been especially given to the cotton
duct of the United States, as a source of revenue, and they wouid refer to
pro¬
their
Special Report (No. 3), and also to the testimony accompanying the same,
as
embodying all the information requisite for the formation of a correct opinion
this subject. As the result of their investigations, the committee recommend
that a tax of five cents per pound be levied on and after July 1, 1806, upon all
cotton, the product of the United States ; and that the same be collected of the
; manufacturer at the place ol' consumption, and of the merchant or factor at the

Such a plan will not interfere with
growth and cultivation of this staple, or its free movement throughout the

(3,812,340). The Commission, after a careful review of this branch of industry,
1.04
and personal consultation with nearly every leading brewer, of both ale and

lager-beer in the United States, are of the opinion that the number of barrels of
beer produced and consumed in the country during the fiscal year 1805, was
1.92
nearly or quite 0,000,000, and that the annual increase of product at the present
time is about ten percent per annual, maiuly of lager-beer. If this opinion be

correct, it is apparent that the government received for the above year, but lit¬

As the present rate of tax imposed upon fermented liquors—viz,: one dollar

states of Europe (Austria excepted); an’dasthe present rate, moreover, in the
opinion of the Commission, after lull consideration, is believed to be fully up to
.io
the revenue standard : and as such is all but unanimously acquiesced in by the
.10
brewing interest of the country, they would, therefore, recommend that the
existing rate be neither increased nor diminished.

The determination of the proper mode of collecting the tax on fermented li.058 , quora, and

are of the opinion that, making all allowances for a
distillation, which, under any circumstances, will take
place, an average annual revenue of at leart forty millions of dollars from this
source may be collected.
•
Ibit whatever may be the rate of tax agreed upon for the future, it is clearly
evident, that a far more stringent and effective law than that which now exists,
is needed, if any fair proportion of the amount which Government has a right
to expect from this source is to be collected, and protection at the same time
extended to the honest distiller as against the competition of his illicit com-petitor.
The Commission, therefore, present, in connection with their Special Report
upon this subject, a draft of a new law, which they believe will be effectual for
the prevention of fraud and The securing of the revenue.
This bill, which is
necessarily arbitrary and restrictive, does not in some of its essential features,
meet the approval of a portion of the distilling interest of the country, and their
opposition to it may be fairly expected.

the
minimum.
The above proposed rate of taxation on cotton, it is believed, will not prove
in any degree detrimental to any national interest, and will yield a revenue, at
twenty-two dollars per bale, of twenty-two millions of dollars for every million
of bales produced and sold for consumption. With a crop of three million bales
and a tax of five cents per pound, the Government might derive an annual reve¬
nue of $60,000,000 ; or of $88,000,000 on a crop of four millions of bales, which
would be less than the crop of 1859-00. Of this sum—if the consumption of the
United States shail reach, in either of these years, the consumption of 1800—
the inhabitants of the United States would pay about $21,000,000 : and it is be¬
lieved that there are few taxes which can be levied which would be so slight a
burden to the consumer. The consumption of cotton per head in the United
States, at the highest point ever attained to, has net exceeded twelve pounds.
A tax of five cents per pound would, therefore, be an average of about sixty
cents to each individual per annum—(See Special Report No. 3.)
As the crop
of the present year, in the opinion of competent persons consulted by the Com¬
mission, is not likely to be less than two millions of bales—and if good seed
can be obtained, may exceed this figure—th Commission are of the opinion that
the Government may safely rely lor the fiscal year ending June 30, 1807, upon a
revenue from this source of at least forty millions of dollars.
With an increase of the crop, in subsequent years, beyond two millions of
bales per annum, accompanied by a consaquent reduction of the market price of
the same, a corresponding reduction of the proposed rate of tax may probably
be found expedient; but, in any event, the Commission believe that for the fu¬
ture an average revenue from cotton of at least fifty millions of dollars may be
relied upon.

respect to Tobacco, the Commission, as the result of their investigations,
are unanimously of the apinion that the tax should not be laid upon the leaf.
The Commission, from lack of time, are not now able to report specially on
this subject, but will do so at the earliest practicable moment.
The following tables show the amount of revenue derived from cigars and
cheroots, chewing and smoking tobacco and snuff, for the several fiscal years

the results of successful industry and business enterprise ; and the Commission
recommend that this discrimination be abrogated, and the rate be equalized.
When the tax upon incomes was first imposed, an exemption of six hundred
dollars upon the annual gains, profits, or earnings of every person was allowed.
This was deemed sufficient, at that time, to enable a small family to procure the

As the purchasing power of six hundred dollars was fully
equal, at that time, to one thousand dollars now, it would be, in the opinion of
the Commission, an act of justice, as well as of sound public policy, to extend
the limit of the sum exempted. They therefore recommend that, in the future
assessment of incomes, one thousand dollars be exempted from taxation.
The Commission furthermore believe that, in exempting one thousand dollars
from liability to assessment under the income tax, the ends of public policy
have been fully subserved : and they would, therefore, recommend that, in as¬
sessing the income tax, no allowance whatever be made for house rent, or at
least tlat the amount allowed to be deducted for rental should notin any case
he allowed to exceed three hundred dollars.*
As the law how stands, rentals of an excessive and unreasonable amount are
often deducted : and the gain to the revenue in the city of New York alone, from
the repeal of that part of the act authorizing the deduction of rental, would, in
the opinion of revenue officials, amount to over two millions of dollars per an-
small incomes.

organization and administration of the revenue system.
Certain reforms in the
organization and administration of the revenue system
are proposed, which we are
compelled to omit; but in the meantime, iu order to
pro\ide for a more perfect administration of the law in certain respects, the
Commission present the following Forms of
Bills, which they would recommend
to the attention of Congress:
First. A Form of Bill, authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to appoint, in
such one or more collection districts as he
may deem advisable, “ Solicitors of
the Revenue," who shall
discharge the duties, now devolving on United States
district attorneys, in all cases
relating to frauds or violations of the revenue
laws.
The Commission believe that the
experience of the last thro? years, in the ad¬
ministration of the internal revenue, warrants the
adoption of such a measure.
In the British svstem this plan has been found to work
very advantageously.
Secondly. A Form of Bill, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to appoint
officers, to be known as Supervisors of the Revenue, who shall discharge such
general and specific duties as are therein enumerated.
Thirdly. A Form of Bill, authorizing Commissioners of the Courts of the
United Slates, under certain circumstances, to take
cognizance of eases of for¬
feiture and frauds committed under the revenue laws of the United
States, and
to give judgment in respect to the
same, in accordance with the laws, subject to .
uppeal to the District Courts of the United States.

Miscellaneous Stocks.—The decline in
prices last week has been naturally followed by a speculative
effort to produce an upward reaction.
The attempt has been
partially successful; but only partially, for the market is so
devoid of strength that the improvement realized one
day
has been generally lost the next.
