This Gallatin soon found to be too radical a measure for success, either in the cabinet or Congress, however well it may have accorded with Jefferson's utopian views.

In the budget of 1802 the internal revenue, $650,000, was, therefore, a necessary item.

The expenditures proposed were Annual appropriation for interest and principal of debt $7,100,000 Civil list $780,000 Foreign intercourse 200,000 Military and Indian Dept 1,420,000 Naval 1,100,000 -- --------- $3,500,000 3,500,000 -- --------- $10,600,000 In this budget the estimate for the military establishment was an increase over that of Wolcott for 1801, which was $1,120,000.

But the Republicans in the House were not content with this arrangement.

The internal revenues were utterly distasteful to them.
