' Under thisx notice $178,055,150 of the 6 per cent.'bonds were continued at the lower rate, and $17,935,250 were redeemed In tlie mouth of May a like notice, was giveu reDCCting the. redemption or contin uance wf, the' $439,841,330 of 5 per cent bonds then outstanding, and of these $401, 504,900 were continued at Si per cent, per annum, and $38,336,450 redeemed. The G per cent, bonds of the loan of Feb ruary 8, 1861, and of the Oregon war debt amounting together to $14,125,800, having matured during the year, the Secretary of the Treasury gave notice of his intention to redeem the same, and fuch as have been presented have been paid from the surplus revenues! There have also been redeemed it par $16,179,100 of the 8 per cent ucon Jinued" bonds, making a total of bonds re deemed, or, which have ceased to bear in terest during the year, of 123,969,050. The reduction of the annual interest on the public debt through these transactions is as follows: . " By reduction of interest to Sk per cent $10,473,952 25 By redemption of bonds 6,352,340 00 Total....... , $10,826,292 25 The 34; per centum bonds, being payable at. the pleasure of the Government, are available for t he investment of surplus reve nue without the payment of premiums. Unless;these bonds can be funded at a much lower rate of interest than they now bear, I a-ree with the Secretary of the Treasury! that no legislation respecting them is desirable. It is .1 batter for congratulation that the business i)f the country hajjjeen so prosper ous during the past year ns t yield by tax ation a large surplus of income to. the Gov ernment. If the revenue laws remain un changed ithis surplus must year by year in crease ori account of the reduction of the public debt and its burden f interest, and because of the ramd increase of our nouu lation. In I860, just prior to the institution ot our internal revenue system, our popula tion but kMghtlv exceeded thirty millions; by the census of 1880 it is now found to exceed fifty millions. It is estimated that even if the annual receipts and expenditures snouiu conimue as at present tne entire debt could lie paid in ten years. In -view, however, of the heavy load taxation which ,our people have already borne, we mav well consider whether it is not the part of wisdom to reduce the reve nucs, even if we delay a little the payment ot tlie debt. It seems to me that the time has arrived when the people may justly demand some reuei ireui ineir present onerous burden, and that by due economy in the rarious branches ot tlie public service this may readilv be afforded. - I therefore concur with the Secretary in recommending the abolition of all internal revenne taxes, except these upon tobacco in its various forms, and upon distilled spirits and fermented liguors; and except also the special tax upon tue manuracturers and dealers in such articles. The Veterition of the latter tar isx desirable as affording the orncers or the Uovernment a proper super vision of these, .articles for, the prevention of fraud. I agree with the Secretary of the Treasury,, that tlie la'w 'imposing a standi tax ttpofi'matcbes.'proprietary articles, play ing cards, checks and drafts may With pro' priety. be , repealed, and the law also by which banks and bankers are assessed upon their capital and deposits! There seems to be a general sentiment in favor of this course. ' Iu the present condition of our revenue the tax upon deposits is especially unjust. it was never imposed in this country un- til : i :i : i , i . i ... J wB.ucmaiiueu oy tue necessities oil war, anq was never exacted, I believe, in any other jcountry, even in its greatest exi gencies.- liaaks are required to secure their circulation by pledging with the Treasurer of the United States bonds of the General Government. The interest upon these bonds which at the time hen the tax was impos ed was 6-per cent.,' is now, in most instances 34; "per cent. ' Besides, the entire-circuttUion was originally limited by . law and no in crease war allowable. vVhen th6 existing banks had practically1 a monopoly of the business there was force in tlie susrcention; that for the franchise of the favored grantees tlie viovernmenfmight very properly exact a tax on circulation, but .for years the sys tem has been free, and the amount of circu lation regulated by the public demand. 1 he retention of this tax has been sug gested as a means of reimbursing the Gov ernment "for the expense of printing and furnishing toe circulating notes. If the tax should lie repealed it would certainly seem proper to require the national banks to pay ine amount et sncn expense to. tlie (Comp troller of the Currency. It is perhaps doubtful whether the Imme diate reduction t the rates of taxation up on liquont aud tobacco is advisable, esoe cially in view' of the drain upon the Treasu- rVj wnich must attend the payment of ar rears of, pensions, i A com pari son. how ever, of the antount of taxes collected un der the ySryinff rates of taxation, which have at various times prevailed, suuests the intimation " that some reduction mav soon be made without materiil diminution of the revenne.

To obviate these difficulties has been our study. Thurber's package Cbffees are selected by an expert Who un derstands the art of blending various fla vors. They are roasted in the most perfect manner (It is Impossible to roast well in small quantities), then put in pound pack ages (in the bean, not ground,) bearing our signature as a guarantee of genuineness, and each package contains the Thurber recipe for making good Coffee. - We peek two kinds, Thurber'a "No 34," strong and pungent, Thurber's "No. at," mild and rich. One or the other will suit every taste. They havo the three great points, good quality, Kontst quan tity, reasonable price.
