stamps to be affixed to receipts for any
amount, business men will, doubtless,
prefer to read for themselves the exact
wording of the Act repeating this oner-
ous and vexatious tax. The ''Act to re-
duce internal taxes, and for other pur-
poses." approved July IA, 1870, (seotion
four,) provides:
And be ii further enacted, That on and
after the first day of October, 1870, the
stamp tax imposed in schedule B, on
promissory notes for o less sum than
500, aud on receipts for any sum of
mouey, OF lOr tne payment OF any debt,
and the stamp tax imposed in schedule
G, on canned and preserved fish, be, and
the same are hereby, repealed. And no
stamp shall be required upon the trans
fer or assignment of mortgage where
it or the instrument it secures has been
once duly stamped.
The Act is long one, md, besides
modifying the income tax, gives relief
to large number of persons heretofore
specially taxed; but the clause we have
quoted above contains the provisions in
which tho general public is most directly
interested.
