But the revenue returns for 1890s (published in Gazette of 11th April) show that the actual
Revenue for 1870
was
$100,000
in excess of £170,000
the Estimate,
in excess of the previous year's revenue:
40
For the last few years the Revenue has continuously
grown by $100,000
Each year
in 1880 it was in 1890
$1,069,947
$1,995,220.
This does not look much like declining revenue; and even if we lose twice next year if we twice the reduction just allowed on the Opium Farm, other things at the rate shown in progressing
recent years, we shall still have
a rising
and not a falling
Reverse.
On the whole I submit that There are no
grounds for further delay in bringing the increased Salaries into force, which in
desp on 8

was written
we authorized to be done at once. woother Indeed since that desp? we have already authorized the Agents to pay the increased rates to such officers as
have.
