The New York manufacturers OF certain
medicinal compounds called "bilters," the
principal ingredient of which is whiskey,
were relieved of the stamp tax by the recent
ly enacted law that reduced internal revenue
taxes. When the new Commissioner pro-
posed to compel them to take out licenses,
upon the ground that they were in reality
compounders Of liquors, they found comfort
in belief that they could collect from the
Government the stamp money which they
had paid in excess of what would have been
the cost of licenses, but now they are con
fronted by an old decision, made by the Flrs'
Controller of the Treasury, in which it IL
held that "a manufacturer of such goods
whose lax has been changed, has no right ,c
prefer claim of this kind.

fact of some importance. He said that
fewer mulattoes are born now at the South

has increased almost three millions since
1861. "All informed people know this"
