The excise on alebolic quors, has increased from about 18 millions sterling in 1867 to 224 millions in 1879, and 24 million in 1873 total increase of sir milltone in six years. Just as we drank onraelves ont of the Airbama claims in 1872, so the Buseisus, in great measure, bare drank themselves out of their deficit, The customs are also inoronsed from about five willions starting in 1867 to £5,662,000 in 1870, .and £7,464,040 in 1873. We cannot allow the direct taxen quite so far back, owing to a trans fer of items in 1809; but since that date there has been an increase of what are sailed T. porte Personnels from about £12,509,000 to £12,803,000 in 1875. Starape bare also inorensed from about £826,000 in 1867, to £965,039 in 1870, and £1,913,000 in 1873 and registration duties from £110,000 in 1987, to £525,000 in 1870, and 21,021,000 in 1879. Some of this improvement bus veen due to so fuorease of the rates of the taxes, this being especially the osse with regard to the duties on alcoholic liquorspared to GRANT INSURANCES to the extent but spart from this, there has been so of $65,000, on Bret class rieke at current rates, augmentation of the taxes at the old rates,
