Welle, will present to Congress at the De- cember cession another of his interesting and valuable revorts on the Internal Revenue sys- tem of the United States as compared with those of Europe. 1t will show, doubtless, that he is of the opinion that immediate and radical retorm is needed in the country before the Government can successfally ccliect the revenue. The temptation to frand in portions Of our system is co great that nearly all of the Tevenue from certain sources is lost, while the effect of this wholesule swindling on public morsia and the principles of free governmen cannct be too serionsly considered.

The sim- plificauon ot our system in the number of articles taxed, will probably be urged, and the Tadical innovation of placing the tax on the product in its raw instead of manufactured state, hke cotton for instance, beexposed to the country, and its injarious effect on the iadus- trial interests clearly established.
