You Will please arrange at once to
have your deputies visit every brewery
in your district on the day next succeed
ing the day of the passage Of the act
increasing the rate OF tax on feTmented
liquors, or as soon thereafter as posi-
BILE, and to take an actual inventory OF
all the stamps for fermented liquors on
hand there at at the commencement OF
business on that day. This inventory

The stamps returned TO the collector,
to be exchanged for stamps at the ne y
rate, should not be less than the number
shown by the inventory, and the brewer
must account ior any difference.
You will require every brewer on his

The Form IS may be adapted or thi

Attention is called TO the fact that th'
increase in the rate OF tax will prooabl'

OF brewers to be in a sum equal to thre'
times the amount of tax which, in tn
opinion OF the collector, the brewer vii

You will please see that new bonds il

The Tammany Tigers,

This invitation is complimentary

INrERsAL REvEN NUE. STAMPS.


Sale and reports thereof under new revenue
law.
The revenue bill just passed by Con.
gress provides that stamps IN the pos
session of brewers at the time that the
increase of tax goes into effect may be
exchanged for new or imprinted stamps,
representing the new rate Of tax. upon
pr esentation to collectors Of internal
revenue.
For the guidance Of collectors and
others interested, the following Instruc.
tions in regard to such exchanges of
stamps have been issued by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue:
Brewers and manufacturerers OF
tobacco and cigars will prepare on Form
18, to be obtained from the collectors of
their district, claim for the redemption,
by exchange, OF stamps representing
the old rate of tax in tn cir possession at
the time the new rate of tax goes into
effect. Each claim must be accompanied
by a schedule of the stamps presented
for exchange, showing, in columns
under appropriate headings, the number
of each denomination, date Of purchase,
discount allowed at time of purchase, if
any, and amount paid.
There should also be forwarded with
the stamps returned to the collector for
exchange an order for stamps at new
rate tax, specifying the denominations
desired, the total net value of new
stamps ordered being made to corre-
spond as near as practicable to the total
net value of the stamps returned for
exchange
Credit should be taken on Form Io5
for peer stamps, and on Form 70 tor
tobacco, snuff and cigsr stamps issued
in exchange. A single credit may be
taken on the form TOR such issues to a
number of persons during the month
but in that case a schedule should
accompany the form showing the value
of stamps issued to each person.
Collectors will balance their accounts
on Records ar and 54. containing trans
actions up to and including the date OF
the approval OF said act, entering on a
new page all sheet stamps on hand on
the morning following the date Of
approval, and all stamps in full books
only. extending the value at the rate Of
the new tax. All partially used books
Of stamps should De returned 20 this
Office.
Two reports each on Forms 70 and 1903
should be made-one to and including
the day on which said act was approved,
at the old rate of tax, and one from such
day, containing stamps at the new rate
only, Forms 70 and IC3, commencing
the day after the act is approved. should
show the stamps and value at the old
rate on the first line under appropriate
headings. The additional tax should be
charged separately on line below in
column of aggregate value. The aggre-
gate of this will then show total account
ability under the new rate of tax.

The New Commissioner of Internal
Revenue

The New Commissioner of Internal
Revenue
is not as fair as his predecessor.
He is more oil the pattern OF Com
missioner Pratt. Here is an eX-
ample.
A small brewer settled a few
years ago in Montana. He built
brewery. But before, in that
wilderness, the buildings were
completed, he was accused OF hav
ing violated the bottling law-his
premises not being in their location
strictly in harmony with the law.
He was assessed to pay SAT, and
he offered as a compromise S25-
there being no charge against him
Of having defrauded the Govern
but merely OF having COM
mitted a technical violation. His
compromise offer was rejected. lie
then wrote to us. We explained
the case at the Department. his
happened in 1896, and a new
offer Of $40 was made by the writer.
The case was regarded as close d,
but under the new Commission er
it was re-opened. The Commis-
sioner determined the compromI sc
offer TO be no less than $3.50.
With great trouble we succeeded
in reducing the amount to SIeo,
which the brewer will now have to
pay.
Decisions of that kind, when no
attempt has been made to defraud
the Government, where the assess
ment is so small, and the whole
affair only a technical violation
under peculiar circumstances, vii
not make the new Commissions
very popular.

Germany and the United states.

Germany and the United States.
Spanish newspaper oureaux in
Europe are constantly sending des-
patches 70 this country seeki ng to
stir up an animosity between
the United States ana Germany,
Our Know-Nothing papers eagerly
copy those dispatches, notwith-
standing that thus far they have
turned out in every instance to be
nothing but malicious lies. France
and other countries may do any
thing they please, and our Know
Nothing papers will have but little

Natural and Unnatural Annexa-
tion.

tion.
Ex- President Cleveland in his
address at the Lawrenceville
school on Tuesday warned his
hearers that foreign conquest and
unnatural annexation are danger
Gus perversions Of our national
mission"
These words are we'll chosen.
There are natural and therefore
necessary and safe aDneXations to
the Union, There are unnatural
and hence unnecessary and dan
gerous annexations.
The purchase and annexation OF
Louisiana was natural and neces-
sary. 1t gave to us a vast extent
of rich and contiguous territory,
but,more important still, 1T brought
with it control OF the mouth of the
great Mississippi, which Lincoln
said in 1861 must 60 forever "un'
vexed to the sea"
The annexation OF Texas was
necessary for similar reasons, as
was also the acquisition Of Calitor-
MIA and the Pacific slope. To ful
fl our destiny and be able to live
at peace with all the world as the
dominating power OF the Western
Hemisphere it was necessary that
the Union OF States should span the
continent.
Every bit OF territory annexed
to the United States was acquired
primarily because it was for the
best interests of the United State:
as nation. No plea OF pseudo
philanthropy. no dream OF Ia world
girdling empire, and especially nC
scheme of private ambition or
jobbery, has shaped the extension
OF our boundaries.
When the annexation of thu
Hawaiian and the Philippine Isl
ands is proposed the case is en-
tirelv different. They are no
necessary to US. They are no
contiguous. The nearest groul
is 900 and the other 1000 mile
from our Pacific coast, or 500
and 10, ooo miles from our seat @
, government. Their popul ton /
alien in a sense that none Of our i'm
; migration has been. They do no
. fit and cannot be made to Fit int
our system. They must be gov
4 erned for a considerable time b,
! some form Of despotism.
, A coaling station we alread
, have in Hawaii, where our para
9 mount influence is conceded b.
all nations. We can and shall oh
tain the same privileges at Manila
, whatever disposition be made
i, the Philippines. But set up sal
l rapies for Sons Of Somebodies i
