WASHINGTON, Feb. 49, 1875
DAILY PROTESTS AGAINST THE NEW REVENUE
BuL-AN ABSURD STAMP PROVISION.
The republican members of tho Ways and Means
Committee are somewhat annoyed at the tone OF
the letters received, critlcising the provisions
OF the Tax BILL 1t has transpired that
the committee to avoid censure, re-.
solved to increase The tax on every gallon OF
wniskey on Eand and also TO make the penalty
severe for wholesale dealer to sell or remove
single gallon without first putting on the
required stamp. This. would practically
check all business in spirits for weeks. as druggists
are In most cities Wholesale dealers within the
meaning OF the existing law, and the associates
OF Mr.. Dawes are amused that he should propose
TO plaster 100 stamps on barrel OF alcohol con-
tanning forty gallons. This naw In the bill has
subjected 1t to some amusing criticism, which 1t Is
said will defeat the measure.
THE PRINTING OF THE NATIONAL FINANCIAL
RESUMED.
After a years. investigation. the Committee on
Banking and Currency to-day. by Q vote Of to s.
instructed MIR. Phelps to report to the House what
is practically a victory for the bank note COM
panies OF New York. as well as an I'm
portant measure to secure the safety
OF bank note printing. Previous to the
administration OF Mr.. Richardson tho currency
and bonds OF the government were printed by
contract in New York in different establishments,
and sealed and finished here at Washington In the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing. Mr.. Richard.
son, to magnify his once and increase the
patronage OF the bureau, changed the system and
was gradually Withdrawing all printing and en-.
craving from outside parties. This was justly
thought an innovation that greatly weakened the
security Of the government issue, and by resolu-
ton OF the House, passed last March,
the committee began . thorough investiga-
ton. the result Of which is given in
the bill and report which will be
presented tomorrow. In substance, the commit

The Cost Of RESUMPTION.

"A bui|ionist paper Of this city had a
dispatch from Washington the other day
giving some particulars regarding the pro
posed substitution Of silver fer fractional
currency and the cost thereof which is
worth commenting u:.on. 1t appears
that over SIC, COO, GEO OF 5 per cent. bonds
have already been sold i'll the purchase cf
silver bullion, and it will require the dis
position Of $10,0C0,000 more before sIt-
ticicnt amount Of silver will have been &C
cunaula;ed to commence ,;mption, thus
adding 100000 600 to Tie crest-bcaring
debt. For the gracious privilege, there
fore, Of carrying around fifty cert pieces
and quarters and dimes, which will Jingle
in their pockets, the American people
will have to pay the sum Of $l0oo,0oU
yearly. With what consistency can we
laugh ct the ignorance of the savage who
exchanges his lands and furs tor glass
beads and scarlc; ribbons, when We arc
practicing like folly, and grave]y taxing
ourselves to death for baullc? But the
imposition Is not to stop here. We arc
! told in the dispatch alluded to that tht
Secretary of The Treasury estimates that
to carry into opperation the law Of last
winter regarding specie resumption will
require tie addition Of $350,0oU 900 to oul
interest-Ecariny debt. This is low esti.
mate, but, accepting it as correct We find
that iii order to substitute gold and SILVER
for our gre"nback currency We rilst pay
! annually $lS,300,000 in interest alone, and
in gold at that Now what are we to gain
by it: People do moi expect to carry this
gold around in their pockets. The gov
, crnmenl does nc: expect they Will DO it.
Paper monry will circulate AS it circulates
now. The gold in the nain will hc lock
ed up in tic Treasury vaults, and lie there
while the people strain every nerve TO
, meet the additional burden imposed upon
them. The practical results, unless all
logic is at fault, will be, first, that every
species Of property save notes, bonds and
mortgages, and currency Will decrease
from twelve to fifteen per cent. in value.
The man who has purchased property,
giving his notes for a part of the purchase
money, will see, in the first place, his
property deprcciatc, say thirteen per cent.
that being the difference now between
gold and greenbacks. He will see, in the
second place, thirteen per cent. added to
his Indebtedness, making twenty-six per
cent. Of difference against him. He will
in addition, be taxed heavier than ever to
pay his share Of the $4,000. 600 necessary
TO meet the interest ON the bonds issued,
and.thus, at the best which Can be claim
ed for the law, will suffer a hardship
which it is imprudent and unjust to im.
