that Pittsburg is very desirable place
to live in In the papers of yesterday
We notice that gentleman walking
with lady was Knocked down and the
lady dragged rapidly away She screams

an instance of a German citizen being
dragged through the streets by couple
of ru61ans, while the police leaned
against the lamp post and placidly
watched the performance Upon being
demonstrated with, they informed
the citizen who appealed for protection
to the German, that they would pnt him
IN the lookup" if he did not go home
Next, we have a horrible account of an
attempt to violate the persons of two
little girls under fifteen years of age
Aud then, we have accounts of robberies,
committing of nuisances, &c, too nu-
merous to mention. Surely, there is "a
low state of morals in that city.
Aud yet, in spite of all this, we know
that Pittsburg is one of the most moral
Of our cities, as general thing. 1t may
be that crime has its periods for spread

MERCHANT TAILoRs' INTERNAL Rsvsxun
TAXES.

MERCHANT TA1L0Rs' INTERNAL REvsxun
TAXES.
Hon. Thomas Harlan, Deputy Commits.
sioner Of Internsl Revenue, IN reply 70 Q
letter from clothing house relative to Che
taxes on the tailoring business, gave the
following decisions:
Under the act Of June 80, 1884, %
amended by the act Of March 8, 1855, the
tax on clothing, &C., was six per cent. ad
vdlorem. And tailor exclusively en-.
gagged in manufacturing to order, as chs
tom work, whose products, including ma.
terisls, did not exceed 81 900, was exempt
from duty.
Under The act Of June 20, 1884, q
amended by the act Of July Is, 1866, the
tax Il about two per cent, and tailor sx-
clusively engaged in manufacturing to or.
der, as custom work, whose work, sxclu-
sive Of material, does not exceed el, 900
per annum, ID exempt from duty.
When the work exceeds In value annu-
ally $1,000, the party manufacturing to
order as above can have no claim to the ex-
emption under section ninety.iour, but ID
liable to tax of two per cent. Cd udlorem
on the entire amount Of his manufactures,
unless he may be entitled to the sxemp-
tions under the provisions Of section
pinety-three Of said act.
The tax on clothing is In oil cases on the
entire value of the same, including mate
rial, labor, and profits, and not on the in
creased valie given to the materials by
making, or, in other words, on labor alone.
This is the case when tailor makes cloth
ing from materials furnished him by biz
customer, as well as when he furnishes the
materials himself. In this case he has the
right to charge the tax to the customer
furnishing the material.

The Methodist Protestant and Episcopal
