Tariff Ruling.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Judge
Lawrence, First Comptroller OF the Treas
ury, rendered his decision on the question
submitted by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenues AZ TO whether the tax and tariff
act OF March 3, 1888 "either Of itself or In
connection with the existing LAWS, operates
as an appropriation OF money necessary to
pay the claims which may be presented, "
under its fourth section for the
rebate OF the tax on un-
broken factory packages Of tobacco and
snuff, cigars, cheroots, and cigarettes.
The Comptroller decides this act does not
make an appropriation Of money for the
payment Of claims for rebate authorized by
said fourth section, and that there is no
other statute which makes an appropriation
Of money applicable for that purpose. He
also decides that, "The statute authorizes
the payment Of claims for rebate TO manu-
factnrers In stamps at the reduced rate
therein provided but no such provision Is
made for the payment to dealers
