HI: CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY. AUGCUST 17, 1878~TWELVE PAGES. S withant eny amendment to compensate for this Targe reduction, the Treasuev wonld, in all orob- abltity, be eeclously cmbagassed.” The advo- cates of reduction of the tobaceo tax argue that the proposed reduiction would not produce any rertona failing off fn the amount of revenun now eollected” from thin eource, and proceed upon the theory that a light tax on a staple article generally used by the maswes lucreazes the conanmptfon by cheapening the cost to consumers, and thus compensates for the re- dnction In the rates of tax. In proof of this theory they refer to the Increased revenue derived from distilied pirits and cigars after a reductlon was made in the rate of tax on theso twoarticles, It is generally adinitted that the present tax on manufactired tobaceols too hlfill, and the opposition iu Congress to the reduction was buecd upon the inexpedicney of cutting down tazation when the revenue of the Government 18 rapidly running down, rather than upon the merits of the proposition. Jtwas admitted that, it 85,000,000 was stricken from the anoual revenucs, additional taxation would have to be [mposed, and tho recotrnition of this Iact was what eave great trength to the prop. osltion ta restore the fncome tax, by which it was eatimated thint from $5.000,000 to 88,000,000 would be annually collected. 1t 18 now belfeved that provision can bo medo apalngt any loss to the rcvenue that might fol- low the reduction of tax on manufactured to- mcco without-serfonsly disturbing any domestle industry, and without having recourse to a re- vival of thie Income ‘tax. With this object in view, it is contemplated by internnl revenue officials to recommend that the tax on fei mented llquors be {ncreased from 81 to 81 fcr barrel “of thirty-one catlons. During the ast fiscal year about 10,000,000 barrels of fer- mented lquors were returned for taxation, and -at tho fucreased rate of tax named $5,000,000 would be added to the revenuc from this source, It is urmed that thia Increase could be made without aTectlng the brewers or the con- sumers, aa uu:y could readily add the {ncrease 4u the cost of tho liquors without affecung the price pald to the conaumcrs, because of thy largu profits made by the retail dealers, A bar- rel of beer, for fustance, nuw costs the retail dealer 88, and he scils it for $20, thus realizin, 160 per cent profit. An additional expense o 50 cents per barrel on the orriginal cost to the retail dealer would not be unreasonabie, sud would not be a suflicicntly larze advance to Jus- tify an Increase in the present prjce to the con- suiner, The existing tax on fermented liquors 18 not {n proportion to the tax nouw asscssed Heharz a deeislon of exceptional fmportance touching the preparation of patents and vatent cases. It fs to the efect that letters patent Issuing to two or more persons, when but one of them is the real inventor, are vold, and can- not be made valld by any act of the parties con- cerned or by the Patent Office. This decislon I8 flosigned to correct an {rregularity of long standing In the allowance of patents, and it is. one ot very cansfderabile consequence o many of £ o largest nanufacturers of exclutive goods in the country. The lrregularity stated may bo brietly atated thus: 5 A poor mechauic Inventa & device or article of value, but has not money Lo procure a patent therefor.

Raynor {4 an ald wan, hefng over 70, but is vizorous, and a hard, faithful worker; but he has written some onfnlons recently that have shown him to be a daseerous man with his pen.

Depirtment, on the ground that sho had been promised u_sppotnt- ment by the former Becretary of the Treasury, Another of a muceh more serious cliaracter was i fuvar of restoring to banks In the SBouth gold captured duringz the War: nnd still another, which would have taken mlilions of dollars out of tho Treasury had it not been reversed by Becretary 8hérmau, wus to the effeet that Confederate rafircads werg entitled to pagment for transportation of trooys und supplics during the war. * Becretary Sherman could not stand any such opinfons as these, and promptly re. versed them all, and Rayoor thinks his services have not been uppreciabitl. But the last ang most obsurd thing layuor las aoue wasto write twa long and labored uvplndons within threo weeks of ench other, taking different sides of the samo question, This was oo an ex- exceedingly Important gt fixing the ra- sponstbliity of the lato Metropalis disnaster on the North Carolina cuast, Thelirst one tixed the responsibility on the owners of the vessel, bat before this was promulgnted Hayior wrote another opinion fixing the responsiblliey on the Uovernment nspectors of steumboats, and aes quitting the owners of sl blame, thus letting the vwners collect thelr tpsurance.

The first seven davs of the month one bank fn New York bought $1,0,000 a day. Register Schofleld, of the Treasury Department, who sizns all of theso bonds, says that thice-fourths of thuse sold are registered bonds, which Indleates that the purchases arc wado a8 a permanent investment. Nearly every day, as he goes over them, he finds individuals, often women, Investiog $50,000 in n single Jump. By far the largest por- tion of reelstered bonds called for are In small denominations,—8%0s, $100s, and &500s. When a man buys a registered $50 bond, it is to be inferred that he has only that amount to fn- vest; when le buys on2, two, or three $100 Londs, it Is evident that he hasn’t mot $500. Judgoe Schoficld says that from his obscrvation e judges that the greatest number of lnvest- ors {u this new loan are peovle of small savings, who have had thele money In savings banks: The next largest class of investorsare lnsurance and trust companies who want along-tine boud, Then there are many new baoks starting who huy thelr bonds to secure thelr clreulation, amd old banks whoae bouds have been called in, rnd on which intercst lias cegscd.

" Judge schofleld argues that the cry about the (lovernment-coaxing money away from Invest- ment tn private cnter‘;fllul is allnonsense; that tueru is not 80 much, by over 839,000,000, inveat- ed {n Governnent sccurities to-duy us ticre wns n year ago, and that for every 4 per cent bond sold a 6 per cent bond (s purchased by the Gov- ornment. The peoole who buy these 4 per cents are not those who would Invest In private ehterprises, 1t ia n great mistake, and a universal ong, 1o suppose that tho most of wur securities are held by forelgn capitalisis. Some thne azo Sceretary Sherman instituted an cxamination into this subject, and, by traclng the sources from which interest-coupons camne, and by keeping a record of where the interest on registered bonds was sent, it was discovered that uver 50 per cout of the publle debt §s held in thia conntry.
