If all the taxes paid by the people in the course of this year were added up and divided evenly by the number of inhabitants, for every soul (adults and children), it would come to 41 zlotys per head. Before the "repair of the treasury" it came to only 9 zl. 43 gr.

The present taxes in Poland have grown far beyond those that were imposed on the inhabitants of the Polish lands in the pre-war times: then a person paid only 30 zl. 50 gr.
