THE INCOME TAX LAW
ITS EXACT TERMS   AND WHAT   THE
EFFECT WILL BE.     ,
Corporation met Individual Taxation Defined and Slade Clear—Exemptions and
Seductions—Amount of Eevenne That
WIU Be Realized.
The income tax has been so beaten
about and amended during its passage
through congress that the public are
naturally at a loss to know what its exact terms and effect will be. Its main
features may be briefly stated. On personal incomes it is a tax of 2 per cent
on all amounts above $4,000. The tax
is to be levied on and after Jan. 1,
1895, and is to be payable on or before
the 1st of July, 1895. It is to be assessed on the income received "in the preceding calendar year"—that is, for the
first levy, the calendar year Of 1894. If
the tax is not paid on or before Jnly 1, a
penalty of 5 per cent on the amount unpaid, with interest at 1 per cent a month,
shall be levied in addition.
The law specifies a great many things
that shall be reckoned in in making up
the annual income, profits in business,
interest on notes, bonds and other securities, money and personal property
acquired by gift Or inheritance, salaries.
It also specifies many deductions that
are to be made—"necessary expenses"
in carrying on business, interest due or
paid, state and local taxes, "losses sustained," worthless debts, dividends received from corporations which themselves pay an income tax.
All persons having an.income of
more than $3,500 a year must make a return to the collector. The corporation
tax is likewise 2 per cent on net profits or income, payable at the same time
and for the same period as the individual tax. Exemption is made of charitable and religious corporations, savings
banks (under certain limitations), building and loan associations and fraternal
and mutual insurance associations.
As in the case of the individual tax,
the law goes into many details as to
What shall be counted in as net profits
and what deductions may be made. The
law is to remain in force five years unless extended, and doubtless within that
time there will come to be a whole library of decisions on the disputed points
of the intricate and in many sections
confusing measure. We may note finally the estimate of the chief of the bureau of statistics that the returns from.
}ndiyidual incomes will be small, bare?
ly covering ihp post Of collection}, but
that the revenue derived from oorpora-*
tions may be expected to amount to anywhere from §12,000,000 to §39,000,000
yearly.—New York Post.
Better Prices For Wool.
It is reported that the sales of wool
in the last few weeks at the principal
markets havebeen 10,146,250 pounds
against 5,312,800 pounds last year and
18,557,100 pounds for the same period
in 1892.
This increase in the sale of wool may
be taken by the farmers as an indication
that better prices must and will prevail
under the free wool tariff. Our woolen
manufacturers will hereafter be able to
manufacture woolens as cheaply, to say
the least, as foreign manufacturers can.
They may henceforth buy the best
grades of wool and mix them with our
inferior grades, which will quadruple
the demand for American wool. The
Democraticr tariff should very soon give
the American farmer from 5 to 10 cents
per pound more for his clip than he has
been receiving since December, 1898.—
New York Mercury.
The Advantage to Industry.
The tariff bill is not in all respects
what it was hoped and expected to be,
but it revolutionizes the policy of the
government in the interests of the people and to the vast advantage of indns-
try. *■ * * And all this is settled
and fixed. It cannot possibly be changed
for three years at least, and by that time
the people will understand more clearly
by experience the benefits they are receiving, and change will be impossible
except in the direction of greater freedom.—Boston Post.
Not Without Honor.
Chairman Wilson, although he could
not carry his tariff bill through the sen*-
ate, is not without compensation in his.
disappointment. At the primary election held in his congress district he received every vote cast in his home county—Jefferson, W. Va. Throughout the
whole country he is held in the same
measure of esteem by all friends of tariff
reform.—Philadelphia Record.
Xo Blood In a Turnip.
As the Republicans have been boasting that the McKinley tariff gave the
people free sugar, it is strange that no
Republican senators offered to aid in
passing the house bill repealing the
duly on sugar imposed by the senate
bill. Common decency should lead the
Republican organs to cease nagging
Democrats about sugar schedules.—New
York Mercury.
A Step In the Sight Direction.
The passage of the senate bill is not
What Democrats wanted, but it is infinitely preferable to the present tariff.
It is a step in advance, though not as
long a step as was desired, but the larger steps, the strides of tariff reform,
will yet come in obedience to the demands of a tariff ridden people.—Milwaukee Journal.

and has given strength to many. We
know this to be true from our experience of twentyfive years and we are
ready to furnish abundant proof.
It is worth your while to examine
the evidence, which you can do by
writing to us. We Will send you free,
Of charge, a book of 200 pages with
numerous testimonials and records of
surprising cures of asthma, bronchitis,
catarrh, consumption, rheumatism,
nervous prostration, neuralgia, and
other forms of  disease  and debility.
Home treatment is sent out by express to be used at home. Office treatment is administered here. Thc effect
is the same.   Consultation free.
Our success has given rise to many
imitations. Avoid dissapointment and
loss of money, as there is but one genuine Compound Oxygen, by sending to

Speer's Port Grape Wine
•FOUR YEARS OLD.
q^HIS CELEBRATED WINE is the pure juice
x of the dead ripe Oporto Grape, raised in
Speer's vineyards, and left Slanging until they
shrink and become partly raisined before gathering.   Its invaluable
Tonic and Strengthing Properties
are unsurpassed by any other Wine. Being produced under Mr. Speer's personal supervision,its
purity and genuineness are guaranteed by the
principal Hospitals and Boards of Health who
have examined it. The youngest child and the
weakest invalids use it to advantage. It is particularly beneficial to the aged and debilitated,
and suited to the various ailiments that affect
the weaker sex.
It is in every respect A WINE TO BE BELIED
ON.
Speer's UnfermentedGraps Juice
Is the juice of the Oporto Grape, preserved in
its natural fresh, sweet state as it runs from the
press, by fumigation and ele-Jtricity, thereby
destroying the excit**r of fermentation. It is
perfectly pure, free from spirits and will keep in
any climate,
Speer's (Socialise) Claret
Is held in high estimation for its richness as a
Dry Table Wine, especially suited for dinner use.
Speer's P. J. Sherry
Is a wine of Superior Character and partakes
of the rich qualities of the grape from wliich it
is made.
Speer's Climas Brandy, Tin. 1876,
IS A PURE distillati- -n of the grape and stands
unrivalled in this country for medical purposes
Ic has a peculiar flivor similar to that of the
grape from which it is distilled, and equal in every respect to i he high price Old Cognac Brandy
of France.f rom which it cannot be distinguished.
See that the signature of "ALFBED SPEER,
Passaic, N. J.," is over the cork of each bottle.
