The question of the ability of the United States to coerce foreign nations by means of commercial restrictions, as in the case of non-importation agreements before the Revolution, was earnestly discussed at this time. The public revenue of the United States is now derived from three general sources. The sources and amounts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, were: Customs, $238,786,740; internal revenue, $305,104,410; and miscellaneous, $41,547,157—total, $585,848,309. Under the war revenue act, which went into effect on July 13, 1898, and was greatly modified on July 1, 1901, the sum of $310,053,363 was collected up to June 1, 1901.
