VIEWS OF THE COMSISSIONERS AND MERCHANTS UPON TUE ACTION OF THE HOUSE—WHAT SOME MERCHANTS EXPRcE IF UNTAXED DRUMMERS ARE PERMITTED ‘TO ROAM THROCGH THE DISTRICT—DANGER TO DIS~ THICT TRADE—THE VIEWS OF EX-LICENSE OFFICER RAFF, &C. A Sram reporter inquired of the District Com- malssioners if the section of the police bill repealing the law linposing a license tax-of $200 each upon the commercial brokers, agents, manufacturers, &c., which passed in the House of Representatives Monday, was likely to become @ Jaw. They said they could not tell, but the bill seems to have been well considered, and there seems to be a determi- nation on the part of Representatives to pass it ‘The outside pressure of these brokers, mostly from the larger cides north, $s more powerful than the protesis of our Disirict tnerchants end their repre- Sentatives—the Commissioners. The constituents Of these members demand of them to the District license law, making the merchants here, who pay a heavy Ueense, on a business equallly With the sample men and peddlers. WHAT I3 SAID AT THE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE. In the office of Assessor Dodge, who issues the licenses. It was stated that this clause, if sustained by the Senate, would throw the District open to all Kinds of wholesale men, manufacturers, agent Suuple men, and others, to come here aud sell ail cies in competition With the licensed merchant. of these men have license for the “only about firty thus far,” answered one of the officials. “How many are there who visit this city for the purpose of traficr” “About twelve hundred or more. The largest number come fromm Baltimore. ‘They are here every day, many of tue, and some do not miss a good day’for crade duriig the eatire year. New York sends the next largest’ number, then Philadelphia and Boston, and then scores of” manufacturers of New Englahd.” ‘Then the present law does not restrain them from coming hen: with ho license?” “In Very many cases it does not,” sald the ofMf- clal, “they will take the chances of getting caught ‘ahd’ prosecuted; the lawyers have Ube ablilty of delaying the hearing in the courts so long that 1 1s seidoin the law is promptly executed. “Many of them Work so quietiy as to escape detection, and many” of our small merchants, 1t 18. sald, con- ive with them, and they thus get off enurely.” AN OUTRAGE ON OUI MERCHANTS. Mr. Peter Fegan, rectifler and wholsale Uquor dealer, when told of the action of the House, suld: “IUs an outrage on our merchants here. Balti- more will eat Washington up. It will certainly Hot pass the Senate. ‘ihis 1s a great wrong on the merchants who have to pay the heavy taxes.” A DEATH-BLOW TO WHOLESALE BUSINESS HERE. Sir. Browning, of the firm of Browning & Middie- ton, wholesale und retail grocers, sald: “If thay repeal passes the Senate as it has the House, the merchants and dealers in this District might as Well pull down their colors and give up business, He did not belleve 1t would pass the Senate and 1t ougit not to. Bulthnore runners requiring no capital Would put an end to wholesale merchan- duaing in the District.” SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. Bir. Hamilton, of the firm of Barbour & Hamilton, wholesale grocers, when asked what he thought of the clause, said: “1 think it 1s all wrong, and ought not to become a law. ‘There should be a l- ceuse tax, and no discrimination against te Dis- tict merchant. It two hundred dollars 1s too Inuch, let them make it Iess—may be one hundred, Whicti 1ahink would be agreed to all round. some- thing must bedone to prevent this becoming a law. There will be a meeting of the merchants to take some action, and I Unnk one hundred dollars should be fixed upon for the sample meu as against two hundred dollars for the District merchants.” A DISCRIMINATION AGAINST DISTRICT MERCHANTS. Gen. Peter F. Bacon, of the finn of Sam‘l Bacon £ Co. (grocers), said it was all wrong, and ought not to become a law. It was a discrimination against the merchants here, who would sull have W pay the tax. WHY SHOULD NOT ALL BE TREATED ALIKE? Mr. W. R. Riley (ry goods) wanted to know why all should not be treated alike. Why shoulda man in business here be required to pay a license when others are allowed to come here and do business for nothing. This project savors somewhat, he thought. of the insurance legislation which taxes home companies 13g percent und outside compa- ies @ nominal sum. VERY MUCH OPPOSED TO IT. Mr. E. $. Hutchinson, of Hayward & Hutchinson, plunbers, &c., sald that he was very much opposed (o the proposition striking out the tax, for all out siders should pay a license tax, a8 those who are located uere ate required to pa A MIXTURE OF GOOD AND EVIL. Mr. Horace S. Johnston, saddlery and trank man- ufacturer, sald toa reporter of Tue Stax that if these agents confined themselves to wholesaling the law would benefit_trade here, but If they retail 4 would hurt the business men here. We have had Inuch Denefit trom the drummers, as they are called, when they have acted strictly honestly, but there have been Some who would take an order at wholesale rates and go right out and retail the same article. He had ‘no objection to permitting those who acted square to transact business with- out a license. It would, he thought, bring about a Wholesome competition’ and consequently benefit the trade generally. T00 MANY DRUMMERS Now. Joseph Bryan, of Bryan & Bro., grocers, favored lcensing the non-resident agents as well as those residing here. “Let them pay as we do,” he said. “If the doors are opened by the abolishment of the Heense tax, We would not be able to get along, for the drummers are too plentiful now. We have had ho less than four whisky drummers here to-day.” THE DANGER OF AN INVASION OP DRUMMERS. Mr. W. O. Douglass, of Douglass & Bro., dealers in ladies’ goods, sald that If this provision of the law Is done away with, the Baltimore drummers Hood the town, and canvas from house to BELIEVES IN FREE TRADE. Mr. R. B. Ferguson, (drugs), sald he was in favor of opening the doors to all. Free trade was his be- lef, and it fs the idea of the greatest good to the greatest number that should prevail ME. RAFF'S VIEW OF THE SITUATION. Mr. Henry Kaff, now of the Metropolitan police detectives, formerly Ucense agent of the District, Sald (0.4 STAR reporter that under the old regime, abont 1872, tie merchants were compelled to asi tue legislature to protect thetr trade, for the reason that Hulthnore wholesale houses were sending out agents Who, Without the payment of a license, sold fromm door to door and injured the business here to such an extent numbers of the Wastin deale staring them tn the face. up uot only the wholesalers for they took orders for as ally would need, and then ing the District Of at least umn directly, besides what they Were nditeetly by rendering it impossible for our dealers to remain 1h business. The legislature acted favorably on the petition, and passed the kaw the license $200 to commercial agents. This Law also encouraged manufactures by outing to tax them, so that Our merchants would have the ad- Vantaxe of buylug direct from thet. ‘This provision has loc twice approved by Congress.
