which passed the House on Tuesday-by yeas, 1sl ;
nays, 11-passed the Senate, today, By - to 2,
without amendment, and went to the President
this evening for his signature. The Secretary OF
the Treasury is much opposed to It, hut the rote
for 1t as so strong that It Is not likely to be ve-
toed The opposition to 1t Is solely based on the
fact that 1t creates twenty years monopoly; but
been much talked Of privately, and Congress fs
