The Tax ll-WhIskey. Tobacco. Cigars
Important Changes.
In the course of his speech on Monday
on the tax bill, Mr.. Schenck, the chairman
of the committee that reported the new
bill, said
We have provided that retailers shall be
classified, and shall pay according to the
amount of their business-$25, $50, 800,
5000, 81, ,000-severally for their licenses ;
and we have defined a retail dealer to be
not one who sells certain amount Of
liquor, but who sells liquor in quantities
less than one quart. and who sells to be
drunk on the premises.
Wholesale liquor dealers pay at this mite
one-tenth of one per cent. on all sales above
$5O,OOO We propose that wholesale liquor
dealers shall pay two and half per cent
twenty-five times as much-and shall pay
on all sales over $4,000 instead of over
$4,000
I have made an estimate that from this
source we can obtain about $24, 600, 900,
Judging by the statistics of the trade. [
come, then, to the special tax imposed
upon the distiller himself. We have made
it 800, and 81 on each barrel Produced
We have also added this system of taxation
of sales. We have also added to that tax
tax upon capacity. We provide that there
shall be three dollars day paid on the ca
pacity of each distillery that mashes and
ferments 100 bushels or less, and an addi-
tional three dollars day for each additional
hundred bushels mashed and fermented.-

Negro Suffrage.

Even the stomach Of Thurlow Weed re-
bells against the Chicago platform, which
he says sounds strange in government
of the people," This is true enough. A
platform which, in the language of Mr..
Weed, declares that in one part of the
country where colored suffrage is likely to
prove ruinous it may be established and
enforced by superior power, while at an
other, where such suffrages would be too
inconsiderable to be oticed, it may be left
to the people who have already declared
against it, does indeed sound strange in a
government of the people.
