| WASHINGTON, May %. 1856.

IL. materially changed the provisions of the law
| relative to the penal sum OF tobacco manufact-
| urers bonds. IL fixed definitely the minimum

| and to require the penal sum of the bond to be
| proportoned to the amount of business that the
| manufacturer proposed to be done by him, Civ
| ing him the right of appeal to the Commissioner
| of Internal Revenue. At the time of the passage
of that Act, the tax on manufactured tobacco
| was three times as much as ii is
| now or course. therefore. the interests of
the Government were then proportion
| ably greater in tobacco manufactured
| and IT was deemed necessary to require a CORE
spondingly large bond for the fillfiiment of the
| obligations of the manufacturer. The regula-
| tions, Series :, No s, revision of 1SS5 pages 7
and 5, prescribe rule to be adopted by Collect
| h,rtt In
! the bond OF a tobacco manufacturer according
/ TO the Yua' tum of the business proposed to be
| done by him. In accordance with this rule,
! the Collectors are Instructed, in computing the
! penal sum OF such bonds. to add "A minimum
| sum of $1,000 for each cutting machine 500 for
each screw press, Sio0 for each hydraulic press.
| 5000 Tor each snuff mill, and for each hand or
| other mill or machine. SlO0 until the aximum
| sum of 10000 is reached.
