The Wilson bill provided that from and after July 1, 1894, there shail be collected an internal revenue tax on all cigarettes wrapped in paper weighing not more than _ three pounds a thousand, manufactured for sale or offered for sale in the United States, of $1 per thousand. This s: ction is changed in the Sen- ate bi | as follows: ‘That from and after July, 1894, there shall be levied and collected an internal reyenue tax on cigars of all descriptions, including eigarettes weighing more than three pounds per thousand, made of tobacce or or any substitute thereof, $5 per thousand; on cigarettes wrapped in paper, weighing not more than three pounds per thousand, manufactured for sale or offered for sale in the United States, $1 per thousand; on cigarettes wrapped in tobacco, weigh- less than three pounds per thousand 50 cents pere thousand. The income tax retains the rate} of 2 per cent on the amount of in-| come over $4,000 as prescribed ip Wilson bill. The classes of incomes are broadened by adding to rents, profits, salaries, etc.. the words “or from any source whatever,” the per-| sons to whom the tax applies are “every citizen of the United States and every person residing therein,’ The Senate bill makes the collec tors of internal revenue the officers in charge of the collection of income taxes, instead of the deputy collec tors, as provided in the Wilson bill. The right of appeal against imposi- tion of unjust taxes is retained, but the final decision rests with the Com missioner of internal Revenue, and not with the Secretary of Treasury, as provided in the House bill. The order in which banks, trust and in- surance companies are taxed is somewhat changed, all of these im stitutions being included under gen- eral heads, instead of separately. The following new exception to the tax is inserted: “Provided, that dividends or in- terest accruing to estates, counties or municipalities and dividends, in terest or annuities accruing to cor- porations or associations organized and covducted solely fer charitable, religious or educational purposes, or te any trustee or other fiduciary, on stocks, shares funds, or securities held solely for charitable, religious or educational purposes, or salaries due to State, county or municipal officers, shall not be subject to such tax or deduction.” In taxing salaries of employes of corporations the House bill makes it the duty of the corporation to pay the tax of each employe, and then deduct it from their salaries. The Senate bill relieves corporations from becoming the tax-payers for its employes and compels the latter to make direct payments to the collec- tor, as follows: Said employe shall pay thereon, subject to the exemp- tions herein provided for, the tax of 2 per cent on the excess of his salary over $4,000. The time when returns on income taxes are made is changed from the first “day” of March to the first “Monday” of The changes made in the tariff on imported wines are not many.

A change is made in the duty on still wines including ginger wine or ginger cordial and vermouth, in cask or packages other than bottles and jugs, which the Wilson bill fixed at 50 cents per gallon on everything. The senate committee inserted the following: If containing 14 percent or less of absolute aleahol 30 cents per gallon and providing that in any of the articles contair more than 14 per cent of absolute alcohol, it shail be 56 cents per gallon.” The following provision in the House bill is stricken out: ‘Pro vided that no such atill wines in casks shall pay a higher rate of duty than 100 per cent ad valorem. Ale, port er aud beer in bottles or jugs 30 cts. per gallon but no seperate or addi- tional duty shall be assessed in the bottles and jugs otherwise 10 cents per gallon. The Wilson bill fixes 15 per cent. compound or preparas THE SPIRITS SECTIONS. The sections covering the tax on spirits are now throughout and are a substitute for the house struck out. The main section of the bill is as follows: “On and after the first day of the month after the passage of this act there shall be levied and collected on all distilled sections second calendar spirits, in bond at that time or have been or that may then or thereafter be produced in the United States, on which the tax is not paid before that day, a tax of $1.10 on each proof gallon when below proof, and a proportionate tax at a_like rate on all fractional parts of such proof or wine gallon. Provided that in the computing the tax on any package of spirits all fractional parts of a gallon, less than one-tenth shall be excluded.” The section changing the bound- ed period 1sas follows: “That the tax herein imposed shall be paid by the distiller of the spirits on or be- fore removal from the distillery or place of storage, except in case the removal therefrom without payment of tax isauthorized by law and (upon spirits lawfully depcsited in any dis tillery warehouse or other bonded warehouse, established under inter- national revenue laws.) within eight years from the date of the original entry for deposition and distillery warehouse, or from the date of orig- inal guage, except in case of with- drawal therefrom without payment of tax as authorized by law.” More changes have been made in this schedule than any other. They change from the Wilson bill rates as follows: Tartaric acid reduced from 20 to 10 per cent; alum crystals as ground, increased from 20 to 30 per cent; bone char, used in discolorizing | sugars, from free list te 20 per cent; coloring for brandy, wise or other liquors, reduced from 50 to 30 per cent; all glycerine, 20 per cent.
