mated reduction made IN the dutaoie

action had not materially affected that es-
innate. except in the restoration 81 the IN
ternal-revenue provision OF the House.
and ON that point they say; .-., -,
" For the wear ending June 30, lssO, the
receipts from special taxes on class oi per
sons TO be relieved by the bill were DID,
4Sl from taxes on tobacco. ~iS. 325, 49, ana
