The Tax Bill

The Tax Bill.
The Tax Bill has passed both Houses OF
Congress and only awaits the signature OF
the President to become law. 1t passed
the Senate unanimously. In the House the
following members voted in the negative:
Messrs. Allen Of Ohio, Browne of K. Island,
] Johnson of Pa, Norton of Mo-. Nugent of O..
Pendleton of O., Shields Of Oregon, Stiles Of
Pa. Wickliffe of Ky. and Wood Of N. Y.
Below we give few items of general in
terest. A list of the articles taxed with the
amount of the tax would fill moro than three
pages of this paper. 1t would be easier to
enume crate the free articles than to name
those that are taxed.
The committee of conference struck out
the tax on dogs, as also that on watches and
pianos. The committee was unable to agree
on the amount of tax on rectified spirits,
and in consequence the article is left untaxed
