Internal Revenue Decision.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1O.-The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue decided
that articles liable to stamp tax on
schedule G must have stamps affixed
before they leave the premises of the
manufacturer, irrespective of the kind
of packages employed for putting up
the same for market, whether such
package is of usual size or extraordi-
nary, or what is frequently termed
packing in bulk. Each package
must have stamp or stamps of the
value indicated by the retail price or
price received for a single package
and its contents. The dealer may
sell directly from the package which
has been properly stamped according
to the price paid for the package and
its contents without atiiXing addition
al stamps; but the dealer who breaks
the original package and repacks its
contents into small packages, putting
on his marks and labels, will be re-
quircd to stamp the small packages
when offering the same for consun'p
ton or sale. The manufacturer in
every case must stamp the package
in which he delivers the goods to
customers, whether the customer fur
ni,hes his own vessel for reception of
the article or whether it is furnished
10y the manufacturer himself.

Radical Governor Of Pennsylvania says ::
" Perhaps Grant don't like my position on

As the Governor of this Commonwealth,
was bound in my message to alude to that,

Government in using the marines in Phil
adelphia, during the elections of last year.
l don't believe in that policy, and can
never be made to believe in it. Had I

dates. Let the elections BE- conducted fair.
~. Hyou arc not ablc to maintain order,
let your Governors or Legislatures call up
on me, and l will back them with the
whole strength of the Government. l
believe that would have done more to Sc
cure peace than anything else. You can't
govern this people with the bayonct.
Whenever it comes to that, the Republic
is failure, aud We had better confess it.
Better have fifty fights at the polls than to
have the bayonet there"
