Arnica from customs under the present laws will succeeding years lucreuse rather than dludu*ll wa3 estimated by the Senate committee that the repeal of iuternal revenue taxes prowsed ibv their bill would effect a reduction of $34,•790 334. The Cosnmisßiouer of Internal RevePUo’eetiraates that the aggregate amount of reduction made by the net will not be less than 5843 000 000 per annum, including the six tinlttion’s of taxes on deposits of national banks; but 1)0 further estimates that the increase of receipts Irom distilled spirits will so augment the revenues from that source as to make the aggregate ireceints from internal revenue for this year tel2o 000,000, or about $24,500,000 less than those for the preceding year. The reduction, therefore, from all sources of internal revenue tfor the current year appears to bo about $lO,000,000 less than the redaction expected by tho Bennte committee. We have, then, a reduction •of $30,000,000 less than was sougut for and ex- j jpeeted. Bhall we now seek again for that reduction 'which was not attained, and is it now advisable | to attempt a reduction or the revenues for future years to arise from duties on imports* Rhere was general agreement that a Hiibstautail reduction of the tariff should bo made. The estimates of the tariff commission and of the Senate committee show what was the contemjplated reduction. The actual leaults so far obtained indicate that the reduction labored for (lias not been effected by the new tariff act. If to be considered, too, that the failure is nor to (bo charged to the increase of importations keep ting up tho amount of customs revenue. Tne Istatlstics of our foreign commerce show that tthere has not been an increase chargeable l herewith. As to the principle of reduction, if- a revision be practicable, there sectn* to lie little (disagreement. Tho reduction should be made ®n articles entering into general (consumption as necessaries-- as sugar, ttuolassos and the like, rather than upon luxuries; upon raw materials, rather than upon (manufactured, with due regard to the fostering k)f domestic industries ana occupations, especially those uot fully established. In the report of this department last year, the reduction as upplied to the principal classes of dutiable articles was considered somewhat in detail, and, adihering to the views there expressed, a repetition of them is unnecessary. * * * Again, it tmay be deemed necdfui to so legislate as to certain Industries and businesses as to effect reduction or suspension of the revenue from the taxation upon them. Those making or trading in (distilled spirits, or who have made loans or advances of money thereon, will be earnest in enMeavor for an extension of the bonded period, ill is uot unlikely that Congress will listen to hheir appeal. An extension of the bonded period rwill effect a reauction of revenue for the length time thereof. On the whole, then, this department does not. recommend an immediate re[vision of the tariff act. It adheres, however, to Bts conviction that ultimately the just and expedient method of relief from taxation and of limiting the revenues to The needs of an econinmical government must bo found in a reduction iuf the duties ou imports. It inay not be deemed expedient ro soon to [make again a revision of the tariff to effeet a reUnction. And there arc condslderattons which Wire apt upon this head. The new tariff act went Into operation, in all its parts, on the Ist day or LJuly. 1383. There has gone by since then but a blttle over one-third of a fiscal year. It is a short (time in which to learn with accuracy how so important and wide-reucbing a law as that, touching all the business and industrial interests of the country, will pemaneutly affect the revenues. It is known that ia some respects the first (effects of it may not. be relied upon a® stable. (Wherein the provisions of it lessened the duties (upon foreign articles, it stimulated itn[portations thereof, immediately before the Ist UayofJuly. The goods were put in bonded warehouse, to be withdrawn at onoe after that Mlay, on payment of duties at the new rates. it increased the duties (as ltdid In some (Instances, by new provisions to meet the adjudication ot courts or the rulings of this department), it stimulated importations prior to the list day of July, 1383, with the purpose of taking the benefit or the lower rate prevalent up to that date. These accelerated importations were, as a natural result, followed by decreased importations of the same articles after the law took effect; so that tho lasting effects of the application of it. to the business of the country may not be known with reliable certainty, either in the general result upon the volume of revenue to be yielded by duties upon imports, or in its particular results upon especial classes of goods and especial branches of domestic industry. The Internal Revenue. Propositions are made to repeal the whole system of internal revenue. As to this, I repeat my remark of last year: “I see no public sentiment or political action indicating a desire on the part of tax-paying citizens to strike out this class of taxes." Another Internal revenue taxes have been repealed, except that on fermented liquors, amounting, as estimated, to $17,900,000, and on the circulation of national bauks. The repeal of the tax ou bank circulation in whole or In part I have recommended. As the abolition of all internal revenue taxes is a proposition which may be made and pressed, some data are hero given. The spirits in bonded warehouse on June 30, 1883, are estimated at more than .80.000,000 gallons. The quantity of distilled spirits in the United States, besides that in customs bonded warehouses, on Oct. 1, 18S3, is estimated by tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue as follows: Gallons. In distillery and special bonded warehouses 73,847,103 lirhandsof wholesale liquor-dealers. 13.921.482 In hands of retail liquor-dealers.... 28,180,650 Total 115/949,235 The quantity in bond upon which the tax is payable between Nov. 14. 1883, und June 30, 1884, is 21,997,770 gallons, the tax on which is $19,797,993. The quantity upon which tho tax is payable during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1885, is 37.228.317 gallons, the tax ou which is $33,505,475. The quantity upon which the tax is parable daring the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886, is 15.356,030 gallons, the tax ou which is $13,820.427. Elsewhere herein is given the quantity of distilled spirits in bonded warehouse, and whioh, under existing law. must pay tax before it is released, an\other data of that kind. On the quantity in hands of dealers, the tax enters into the cost and value of it to them. It may be assumed that neither the distiller, nor tho owner of spirits in bond, nor the dealer owning it, wishes complete abolition of me tax upon it. The community, in its present temper, will not submissively receive a law encouraging tho manufacture of whisky unrestricted in quantity. A reduction of tho tax on whisky In bond to fifty cents a gallon would reduce the revenue about $7,600,000 for the current year, were the reduction to take effect from Nov. 14, 1883, and about $13,500,000 m tho year ending June 30. 1885. General and Minor Topics. The commercial marine of the United States is then considered by the Secretary, and it is stated that for some years past only 16 per cent, of our exports and imports has been carried in American ships. The Secretary sees but two methods by which our foreign shipping can bo directly increased, namely, by subsidies, and by allowing the free pur oh ate of foreign ships. Whether either or both of these means ahull bo adopted, will depend on the judgment of Congress whether it is better to resort to them than to suffer the yearly loss of 84 per cent, of tho freightage on exported and imported merchandise. Brief reference is made to tho efforts of the department to prevent tho importation of diseased cattle, and it is deemed essential to tho protection of our herds and flocks from infection with the “foot aim mouth" disease, that authority bo conferred upon the department to enforce a quarantine against sheep, swine, and goats also, as thisdisease is as liable to be communicat' and by them as by neat-cattle. There is no law authorizing tht> quarantining of any animals except neai-cnttle. In one case, at least, the foot nnd mouth disease was brought in, but, the quarantine system detecting it, its spread was effectually provented. It is believed Unit the knowledge that our government is enforcing * rigid .quarantine, to prevent the importutihn of con‘tugious diseases from abroad, is already exercising a salutary effect upon public opinion m •Great Britain. Perseverance hi it is likely to induce Great Britain to rescind her order for immediate slaughter of cattle oxp.utod thither from the United States, which is a liiuderuiice to our exporters. The thirty-eight vessels of the revenue marine service continue to perform satisfactory service. These vessels have cruised during the fiscal year an aggregate of 3*10,380 miles, and have lmard- •* l and examined 25,587 vessels, of which 2,240 bave been seized, or reported to the proper au- - [unities, for violating i lie law in some respect. In relief-work they have been particularly * indent. having assisted 224 vessels in distress, which, with their cargoes, ngeregaved in value $4,885,175, ami on hoard which wore 2,497 persons. Sixty people have been picked out of the water and saved from drowning. One revenue steamer iiloue assisted seventy-six merchant* Men, valued, with tlie.ir cargoes, at $1,493,020. The reports show the gratifying fact Under the vigiiuui cruising of the revenue c

in Alaskan waters, the illicit selling to the natives of tire-aruift and spirit* by the masters of lawless trading vessels lias much fallsn off, these operations beiog now confined principally to the Siberian coast. The Seoretarv recommends that useless customs districts he consolidated. There are twen-ty-two ports of entry at which not a dollar of duties has been collected for years at different times. There arc thirty-two ports of entry in which tho year's collections from all sources have not equaled the year’s expenses. These llud importance when foreign trade was carried on in sailiug vessels, and before the concern ration of importations at large ports from regular liues of ocean steamers, and the present system of rapid inland transportation. The customhouses in these districts arc, however, kept up, with all the formalities of activity, with deputies, inspectors and clerks, to make official returns to the accounting officers of tho Treasury and the Bureau of Statistics. The consolidation or districts ami diminution of ports of entry are called for by sound business considerations, and may be accomplished without increasing smuggling or withdrawing proper facilities for documenting vessels. * * * I also recommend that, in lieu of present salaries, and all moieties aud perquisites, and commissions on disbursements, received by collectors, naval officers and surveyors, there be an unnual salary. The’life-saving service allows an excellent record for the past. year. The number of disasters to documented vessels within the Held of their operations was 300. On board these vessels there were 3,792 persons, of whom 3,777 were saved; the others were lost. The number of shipwrecked persons succored at the stations was 651, and the number of days’relief afforded them in the aggregate was 1,879. The estimated value of property involved was $7,176,540. of which $5,611,800 was saved; the rest was lost The number of vessels totally lost was 68. The light-house establishment, the coast and geodetic survey, the marine hospital service, tho the National Board of Health, the steamboat inspection service, tho Bureau of Engraving and Printing, public buildings, and expenditures in the District of Columbia, arc briefly summarized. The Secretary recommends the construction at the capital of a building for the storage of the files and records of the several departments. Tiie report, summarizes the foreign commerce of the United States duriug tho year as follows: Exports of merchadise $323,839,402 Exports of spsotb 31,820,333 $355,659,735 Imports of merchandise $728,180,914 Imports of specie 28,489,391 $751,670,305 Imports and exports during the 3’ear ended June 30, 1883 $1,607,330,040 Imports and exports during tho year ended Juue 30, 1882 1.567,071.700 Increase $40,258,340 IMMIGRATION. Tho administration of the “act to regulate immigration," approved Aug. 3. 1882, with the general supervision of which this department is charged, has been attended with a reasonable measure of success. There are certain restrictive features of the law which hinder the full accomplishment of its purpose. Some of these were noted in my last report, accompanied by recommendations of legislation for their removal. The experience of another year has confirmed the views then expressed. * * * It occurs that alien paupers and others in indigent circumstances have arrived from Europe, whose passage-money and other expenses iucident to the voyage, and but little more, were paid by tbo respective governments or municipalities from which they came, or by voluntary associations abroad. They are liable to become a public charge upon the communities in which they land unless cared for awhile by the commissioners, and as soon us may be Sent back where they belong. Such of these as were found incapable of self-support have, as far as practicable, been returned. Such practice by foreign authorities, whether of high or low degree, is discourteous, if not worse, and this department has sought, through the State department, to persuade to an abandonment of it; it is feared, without full measure of success. The number returned from tbe date of the immigration act (Aug. 3, 1882. to the close of the month of September, 1883, was 1,952. * * * 'The immigration act is defective in ttat. its execution depends entirely upon State officers. Naturally they care for local interests, and act to protect them. The execution of the law should be by federal olfi oers, under rules and regulations uniform throughout the country. The well-being of tho immigrant and the protection of the whole public would be tho end sought In all localities. At present there is lack of uniformity in the Hgement and care of the immigrant, and tho protection of tho immediate publlo is first in contemplation. The enactment of a statute of limitations on claims against the government is recommendod. The attention of Congress is directed to the relations of the government to the Pacific railways, and legislation looking to a settlement of longstanding disputes earnestly urged The report doses with a recommendation that a civil government bo established in Alaska.

PROFESSOR HOSHOUR, A Tribute to His Memory by Hon. Jaeob It. Julian, a Life-Long Friend. To the Editor of tho Indianapolis Journal; 1 uttenacd the funeral ou la6t Sabbath at the Central Christian Church of tbe late Rev. Samuel K. Hoshour, a man of rare intellectual endowments and genuine worth, who, during his long residence lu Indianapolis, has ranked among her most honored and best beloved citizens. The ceremonies were appropriate and brief. Scarcely anything could have been added to their impressiveness. It was a tender parting tribute to a good muu paid by bis late brethren and long-time associates in the ministry who have known und loved him in life. Not a word was said in his praise tuat did not meet a hearty re spun so in the breasts of every man and woman present. Having known the deceased ever sinco ho came to theft late, I desire to add to what lias been said aud written about him. my own personal recollections and impressions of him us ho appeared to me as a student, as a listener to his sermons, and in the general walks of life. Professor Hoshour came to Centerville In the fall of the year 1835—when I first knew him unheralded, his name aud fume quite unknown. Opening a small book store, to which his wife gave tho required attention, he took charge of a school in the country, walking to and from it to town daily. In the meantime having, before ho settled in the place, espoused the doctrine* of Alexander Campbell, lie began preaching them, attracting to his meetings large bodies of people or the town and vicinity, and building up und organizing theChristiun, or, as it was then called, the “Campbellite” Church. His doctrines were unpopular, especially with other religious denominations. the result being that for a time his standing and usefulness were impaired. But ills efficiency as a t*acher, his scholarly attainments and genial disposition, coupled with the matchless purity of lii life, overcame all opposition, and Packed and heartily sustained by :he more liberal sentiment of the people, by the friends his splendid abilities draw to him, ho became tho most popular teacher the old county seminary, of which be bad assumed control, ever had before*or since Id* nine. Under his management tliere was a large increase in the paii'oijage of the school. Ills fume as a scholar and a teacher drew students near it and from abroad. Not only were students attracted to the school through him but good ones, such as under t he Inspiration or uis teaching and example resolved to make men of themselves, and went out into the world to do it, and did it. Ir. may he solely said that Prof. Hoslnmr has left, behind him mope students win* have attuihed distinction, occupying places of tisetillness and honor in life, men possessed of more genuine worth, more real manhood,, than any other jeacln-p of his time. During the year 1837 f was one of his scholars, and It affords me great pleasure to boar my humble testimony to his efficiency as a teacher, his zeal in imparling knowledge to those under his control, hi* patient, conscientious discharge of every duty. Prof. Hoshour never lost, his interest in or affection for his students-, for whom he always had a kind word and wish. In return they have fullv reciprocated his feeling*, following bnu with their sincere respect and lovo through life. Fe.w, if any of them, will fail to shed an honest tear over the anmuuicsituni of his death, wherever it mav reach them. Prof. Ho-hnur was a man or untiring industry, always ui work ns a icnehet or n* a minister or in literaiy labor. It was during this year that he wrote t tie famous “Altisonant Letters," which appeared in ilio Wayne County Chronicle, published in Onu*rvllo by the venerable Batiiuol C. Meredith* now of ludUuupifiis. During tho

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1883,

same period ho was editor of that paper, thus addingtohls labors. In 1840 he 1 **fc Centerville, taking charge of the bigh-scbool at Carabridge City, where he remained ui my years, from whence ho came to (ndianapoiig, being honorably connected, us long as liis health would permit, with tho Northwestern Christian University as uuo of its professors, for a time as its president. Few people know the difficulties Prof. Hoshour had to overcome in obtaining au education. Hu parents were German, who taught him in lus youth only their native tongue. When, therefore, as lie grew up and determined on making au English scholar of himself, he had in connection with his studies to learn the language itself. This ho old, and by iuoesaut labor, advanced so fast that at tho ago of seventeen ho wins capable of teaching an English school, an t did it for several terms, during which lie devoted himself to mathematics, English grammar, etc. Aiming at perfection in scholarship, as in everything else, and determined on accepting nothing le-*s ho entered the higher school* and academies where he mastered the the higher grades of mathematics, tho modern and ancient classics, especially the Hebrew, Greek and Latin languages, and made himself, in all respects, one of tho most thorough scholars of his day. With these accomplishments, by extraordinary efforts and unremitting labor, during and following this time, he devoted himself largely to the study or history, theology, und general literature, and, as a result, was conceded to be uot only one of the best scholars, but one of the best read men of his time. Ills devotion to books was wonderful, his thlist for knowledge insatiable. Educated in the Lutheran faith, when he determined, as he did at an early day, to engage in the ministry, it was in this church. He did so, and before lie left bis native State-Maryland—bo was recognized as an accomplished scholar, a successful teacher, i and as one of the leading ministers of hia denomination. Very truly did he say among bis last words: “I was a book lover." It has been said that Professor Hoshour was notan eloquent man. Perhaps in some sense this may be true. In the true sense lie was not. He was a strong and forcible speaker. He was at home in the books lie had read (and his reading embraced almost everything). lie studied well his subjects, und drawing upon his vast fund of book knowledge for his illustrations, he seldom failed to Interest his hearers and to convince them that he understood what ho was talking about, and lie often carried them with him to his conclusions. He had great skill in presenting Ins points so as to make them plain, in proving them as he went along, and in carrying his audience with him by the force and zeal with which he supported Ins positions. His sermons were earnest, forcible expositions of his views, delivered In the language of tho scholar ho was, with the power which comes from an houeso convict urn that he was right. He waft in hi day the most powerful as well as eloquent preacher lu the Whitewater valley, if not in tho State. He was a man of the strictest integrity, devoted to what he thought was right and standing by tils convictions as a mother by her child. An honored minister of tho Lutheran Church in lus native State, in which position he was drawing a good salary, and was surrounded and sustained by cherished associations and friendships, ho left and surrendered all to unite himself with anew and weak religious sect from whom he could expect no advancement, and this he did because bis conscience said to him it was Ills duty to do it. He was in ail respects one of the best and purest men I ever know. No stain of dishonor, no suspicion of wrong doing ever attached to his name. His memory will long be eberishert by those who knew him und by none longer than his student J. B. JULIAN. Indianapolis, Dec. 4. Tho Morton Monument Fund.
