We publish letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury in reply to communication Of Mr..
Bnrksdol", by which it appears from the books
and accompanying statement of the Register Of The
Treasury, that The ncit proceeds Of The FIRST nine
months, from duties under the tariff Of 1916, &c
eceds by more tAan three millions Of dollars the
men proceeds Of The corresponding aine mOnths
under The tariff Of 1912. II appears, also, that
the rate Of augmentation is prOgressire; and that
if the nett revenue from duties for the remaining
months Of The fiscal year closing on the Isl OF
July, lS4S, is in the same rate for the unexpired
term as for the first two months Of July and Au-
gust then The neil revenue from the dules for the
first entire fiscal year under the tariff of 1916,
would be S45, ,344 46S. Ii may not be so large
as this, bu, MIR. Walker estimated it at the sum of
al least S28 900 900; and that minimum estimate
was declared by whig senators 10 be ridicuousy
large. Their estimate Was from sixteen TO twcn-
ty one millions as IL maximum. The most ibtpOr-
tant part Of the aohole result IS, that the errOrts
hare increased an a corresponding r0fe; thus
certifying the theory Of the Secretary, that the
expoIis trould equal our imports. :
