On and after the first OF October, 1862, the
stamp duties prescribed in the schedule here
after annexed, must he paid under the Fed
eral 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 denoting the
duty hereby imposed, or without having
thereupon an adhesive stamp to denote said
duty, such person or persons shall incur a pen
diiy Of $50, and such instrument, document
or paper, a aforesaid, shall be deemed invalid
and OF no effect"
Ii will be seen that this section both imposes
fine and invalidates the document for the
non-use of the stamp. As the instruments,
documents, &c, referred to, embrace nearly
every common written transaction of buSi-
ness, the people ought, before the first of Oc-
tober, to iamiliarize themselves with the sche-
dule. We, therefore, publish it, advising our
readers to preserve it for future reference:
