On and after the first OF October, 1862, the
stamp duties prescribed in the schedule here
af,er annexed, must he paid under the Fed
era tax law
Section ninety-five of the law enacts, THAT
if any person or persons shall make, sign or
issue, or cause to be made, signed or issued,
any instrument, document, or paper OF any
kind or description whatsoever, without the
same being duly stamped for denodng the
duty hereby imposed, or without having
thcreupon an adhesive stamp to denote said
duty, such person or persons shall incur pen
atty ofS50, and such instrument, document
or paper. "a aforesaid, shall be deemed invalid
and OF no effect"
Il will be seen that this section both imposes
a fine and invalidates the do .ument ior the
non-u>e of the stamp. As the instruments,
documents, &c. referred 10, embrace nearly
every common written transaction of busi-
ness, the people ought, before the first OF o.
tobcr, to tamiliarize themselves with the sche-
dule. We. therefore, publish it, advising our
readers to preserve it Tor future reiel ence:
