The principal cause of the reduction in the aggregate
receipts Of 1869 below those OF 1865 shown above Is the
repeal OF the tax upon manufactures.

day April next and with the tax Of 30 cents per gallon
and s. barrel OF 40 proof gallons Will yield revenue
The receipts from snuff and tobacco were smaller in
1869 the reduction from 40 cents TO 81 cents
upon chewing tobacco and snuff by the act OF July last
aud because OF the anticipated se ofsaps and the sub
lection In January next OF unstamped stock on
hand which one tax may have already been paid.
The increase from cigars due in part 10 the i'm
posed upon imported cgars by the act OF July Under
this act dealers In leaf tobacco pay special Tax OF t5
annum. BY tho former law they were taxed as dealers
and paid 81 per thousand on sales above $4,000
Dealers IN manufactured tobacco were first taxed as
such IN Jy prior 10 that tune the pay ment OF special
dealers covered sales OF tobacco snuff and cigars
as we'll as merchandise.
Manufacturers' sales were made liable by the act Of
March, 1865 and tho tax is returned aud paid quarterly
The first return was n July following.
The tax upon reclners and wholesale liquor dealers Is
now very largely increased and tine receipts from the
various forms Of stamps for spirits, aside from that de
netting the payment Of tax Will be OF no ineonsderable

data which the proper limits OF my report will not allow
