Commissioner Miller Reports Revenue Totals for Last Year
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue submitted the annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury. Total receipts from all internal revenue for the year ended June 30, 1886, were $110,902,860, compared with $112,421,122 for 1886, $121,690,089 for 1884, $144,668,844 for 1883, and $140,523,275 for 1882. The report notes shifts in consumption taxes, with a notable decline in oleomargarine revenue and increases in tobacco and alcohol, plus a 3.6 percent cost of collection. Early 1886 receipts show an increase driven by tobacco and fermented liquors, and the commissioner cites lack of data on oleomargarine production and dealers as a concern.
