EDIXIIMION, Leo. 21.
The National Association for Excise Reform having
been charged with meditating "the repeal of the
duties which are at present levied on article. of home
produce," have issued a declaration denying that this
is their object, and asserting that their efforts, as
originally announced, are to be directed to " the
attaining of complete freedom for all excise traders
(with a due regard to the proper collection of the
revenue), so that those whose trades and occupations
are at Regiment fettered by the excise laws, may carry
on their business u fres from government inter-
ference as their brother traders who are not subject
to excise restrictions at all."
