[Census reports] Tenth censusJune 1, 1880 . he field of customs duties, and of so-called internal revenuetaxes, by the federal government, or to the conscious preferences of the people, or to the mere force of tradition,it remains true that the great bulk of all the revenue drawn from the people into the several state and localtreasuries is obtained by taxes levied at a higher or a lower per cent, upon the -grand list.
