The Stamp Act.

Throughout the country there is q
clamor for the repeal of the war
stamp tax. Between this and the
protective tariff, man is taxed for al
most everything except the original
breath of air given him by his crea-
tor. An exchange has complied the
taxables as follows;
When he draws a check.
When he becomes a member of q
corporation.
When he transfers his stock.
When he insures his life or bis
house.
When he assigns his insurance.
When he makes a note to raise
money for the payment of his taxes.
When he buys money order.
When he executes case.
When ne sends q paid telephone
message.
When an indemnity bond is given.
When bill of exchange is drawn.
When the citizen executes an in
strument necessary in the sale Of
merchandise on Change.
When he ships goods by freight or
express.
When he clears vessel and files
manifest.
When he buys ticket to go abroad.
When he executes power of attor-
ney.
When he buys proprietary medi-
cines.
When he chews gum.
When he uses any perfume or his
wife indulges in cosmetics.
When his note is protested.
When warehouse receipt is given.
When merchandise is entered at a
custom house.
BY all means let Us have a speedy
repeal of the stamp act. According
to the newspapers Of a couple OF
years ago, we have licked the Span
iards. Then if this be true let us
quit licking the stamps.
