The regular weekly statements will be resumed wext week. ceived that of the $1,982,632 worth of goods entered, -only $348,006 were town upon the market, whereas at this period last year they did not vary much from $2,000,000, which, at an average duty of 20 per cent, paid a revenue of $400,000. By the same rule, the $348,- 006 thrown upen the market, and only $19,146 withdrawn from warehouse—making a total of $367,150—the duties on which at 20 por cent amounted only to $73,430, which was far below the expenses of collection. It is believed that, at this time, the government, taking all the ports together, is hardly collecting duties enough to pay the outlay for their collection. In this dilemma the proposi- tion made by the organs of free land gifts and manufac- turers, to increase the public revenue by the imposition of a bigh ective tariff, is simply an absurdity. If goods rst or be lawonmants in suticbegs amounts to yield a necessary revenue under moderate duties, it is difficult to understand how high protective rates are to supply a remedy. Should emergencies arise to require a large in- crease cf revenue, people who urge the wernment at Wi ton to increased expenditures bad better make up their minds to submit, soonor or later, to direct taxation. Congress, under the intluence of party tactics, destroyed the revenue from the public lands, a donating them to Rhone who mi nt see fit to occupy them. They should have ged for the redemption of the public debt. “ier ing neglected to do this, the government bas been compelled to fall Wick upon the duties from im- ports. Owing to the unsettled condition of the country, which no mere force alone can overcome, the revenues from this source have failed, and it is forced to borrow money at 12 per cent interest, instead of at 5 and 6, as hitherto, And, unless peace ‘and harmony can bo re- stored, it will probably be compelled to live ‘+ from hand to mouth” ‘by a constant repetition of loans. Of the goods entered for consumption last week, woollens amounted to $101,116, cottons to $63,975, silks to $103,650, flax to $50,871, and miscellaneous to $29,248. Total, $328,860.
