decision no. 126.
Treasury Department
Office of Internal Retinue
Washington, Oct. '63.
The stamp duties imposed in the first
paragraph of Schedule C, in the act of
July 1, 1862, having been deemed by
many persons to apply only to proprie
tary medicines, it becomes necessary to
call the attention of manufacturers and
dealers to the true interpretation of said
schedule.
In section 99, the subjects of the duty
imposed in said schedule are spoken of
as "proprietary articles;" in section
107 they are described by the words
" drugs, medicines, preparations, compo
sitions, articles, or things ; " in the pro
viso to section 109 they are described as
" medicines, preparations, and composi
tions;" in section 110 they spoken of as
"articles or commodities." In the first
paragraph under Schedule C the articles
or commodities made subject to stamp
duty are distributed into four classes, as ;
follows :
1st. Any preparation or composition
whatsoever wherein the person making
or preparing the same has, or claims to
have, any private formula or occult
secret or art for making or preparing the
same.
2d. Any preparation or composition
whatsoever wherein the person making
or preparing the same has, or claims to
have, any exclusive right or title to the
making or preparing the same.
3d. Any preparation or composition
whatsoever which is prepared, uttered,
vended, or exposed for sale under any
letters patent
4th. Any .preparation or composition
whatsoever which is held out or recom
mended to the public by the makers,
venders, or proprietors thereof, as a pro
prietary medicine, or as a remedy or
specific for any disease, diseases, or af
fections whatever affecting the human or
animal body.
The descriptions contained in these
four clauses of commodities, and the
first three are by no means to be treated
as a mere limitation upon the fourth.
The fourth class is limited and qualified
by the provisio in section 107, which
must be construed as heretofore explain
J TV XT- 11 I mi
ed in Decision No. 114. The mere fact
of the publication of a formula, in one
of the text-books or journals specified in
that section will not exempt a prepara
tion, compounded according to such for
mula, from stamp duty, when the fact of
publication is ignored, and the claim to
a private formula or occult secret or art
i3 distinctly set forth upon the labels and
wrappers accompanying the preparation,
as is usually the case in such prepara
tions as Godfrey's Cordial, Betton's
British Oil, Turlington's Balsam of Life,
Lee' Bilious Pills, &c.
All these articles belonging to either
of the first three classes, such as inks,
blackings, cements, sauces, flavoring ex
tracts, polishes, culinary preparations,
or compositions of any nature whatsoev
er which purport to have been prepared
under any private formula or occult se
cret or art, or in the making of which
the maker cairns any exclusive right or
title, or which are prepared under any
letters patent, are as fully subject to the
stamp duty as those in the fourth class.
From and after Oetober 1, 1863, none
of the articles named in Schedule C, in
cluding perfumery, cosmetics, and play
ing cards, as well as articles in the above
described classes, whether they are of
foreign or domestic manufacture, can
be lawfully offered for sale without hav
ing the requisite stamp affixed. By the
27th section of the act of March 3, 1863,
any person who shall offer for sale any of
the articles named without the same be
ing duly stamped, whether he is the man
ufacturer or a dealer, is subject to all
the duties, liabilities, and penalties im
posed by the act of July 1, 1862, for a
sale.
All persons, whether dealers or manu
facturers, are required to affix and duly
Qancel the stamps at once upon all such
articles as are offered for sale by them.
Unstamped articles in the hands of per
sons other than the manfacturers, which
are merely 3tored in the original packa
ges, and not offered for sale, will not be
liable to confiscation: but all goods
which are found exposed for sale upon
their shelves or counters, or which have
been removed from the original package,
are subject to forfeiture under the pro
visions of section 109, unless the requi
site stamps are affixed and cancelled.
It is not proposed by this office to re
quire that the penalties of the law shall
be enforced on account of the sale of un
stamped articles in the original package
prior to the first day of February, 1864,
where such sales are made to dealers
who purchase to sell again; provided,
that in all such cases the purchaser
shall be furnished by the seller with the
requisite amount of stamps, which must
then be affixed and cancelled as soon as
the package is opened. The penalties
of the law will be strictly enforced for
any sales of unstamped articles, whether
the same are of foreign or domestic
manufacture, when such sales are made
on or after the first day of Februarv,
1864. ! J'
Every person who offers any such ar
ticles for sale, will be required by the
Assessor of his district to take and sub
scribe, monthly, the oath No. 34, which,
together the affidavits of manufacturers
of proprietary articles.
in the office of the collector, instead of
of being transmitted to this office as
heretofore.
If the manufacturer of proprietary ar
ticles, or the wholesale dealer in the
same, acting in good faith, and upon ;
such information as he can obtain, affix
es a stamp answering to the retail price !
in the market where he deals, or in the
vicinity thereof, he will be exempt from
proceedings tor a penalty, even

as a manufacture not otherwise provid
ed for. Glue which is claimed as pro
prietery, but told ;n bulk, in the liquid
state, will be subject to the specrfic tax
of twenty-five cents per gallon, &c.
When any manufacturer of proprietary
articles, who has paid to this office a sum
ofmomey in lieu of the stamp duties,
upon articles manufactured and sold
since September I, 1862, without having
the requisite stamps amxed, shall turn-

he has actually affixed stamps to any of ;
the identical articles upon which the duty
has been thus paid heretofore, the I
amount thus affixed will be refunded in j
stamps; prodded they are thus affixed !

The river was still falling very slowly
at this point on Saturday, but is swelling
above, and the hopes and prospects of a
rise are more flattering. The Missouri
Democrat of Friday says:
The river fell half an inch yesterday.
but will be rising to-day. The upper riv- j
ers are improving.
There was rare sport in St. Louis yes- '
terday. Snowballing was one of the
principal amusements; and we don't !
know but that sleighs jingled along the !
streets by moonlight. At all events, there
was an unprecedented snow storm. It
set in gently at first, and continued gen
tly all day, but the snow increased in
volumes until so dense did it become
that a steamer's outline could hardly be
distinguished two hundred yards from
shore. The snow continued falling all i
day, and filled the streets and the levee
to the depth of six inches or more. This
put an end to steamboat business almost
universally over the wharf. The little
snow HaKes clung to tne steamers, so
that they became each a separate ava
lanche on its own account The military
guard remained on duty at the levee
through the day and in the storm. Their
blue great coats, buttoned to their chins,
were turned to white, and their muskets
were shaded with snow. We heard of
no attempt yesterday to burn a steam
boat The snow would have quenched
the flame
The river will certainly rise, from the
great amount of snOsr that has fallen.
Much of it will, however, sink into the
earth, which is warm and unfrozen. We
presume the river rose two inches last
night.
There is at least 4 feet 10 inches
perhaps 5 feet in the channel to Cairo.
There is probably 10 feet below Cairo.
To Reokuk there ia 3 feet in the chan
nel In the Illinois there is 30 inches scant
from the mouth to Peoria.
There is 30 inches in the Missouri
from the mouth to Miami, and probably
4 feet above that to Leavenworth. At
the last named place the Missouri rose a
foot from Saturday to Monday last We
look, therefore, to hear of 4 feet all the
way out. in the course of two or three
days.
On the 19th there was 8 feet of water
on Harneth Shoals, and rising fast at
Nashville and below.
On Monday the Upper Mississippi was
rising slowly at Davenport, having swoll
en 3 inches there, and more at Du
buque. Captain James Hughes, of Nashville,
purchased of A. Hamilton & Co , last
Monday, the steamboat J. H. Baldwin
for $30,000 cash. Captain J. N. Cor
bitt is going to take charge of her, and
Ben Egan goes as clerk on her. We
trust that these fine fellows will come
along this way soon with the Baldwin.
They are old navigators in the St L'ouis
and Nashville trade, and we should like
to see them restored to the yearning
bosoms of their St Louis friends.
We regret to learn that the steamer
LaCrosse struck a snag at King's Land
ing, on Sunday, and sunk. She was in
Government employ, and bound up the
Cumberland river. We are without par
ticulars. The Cincinnati Enquirer of Wednes
day says:
"The Pilots' Association, we learn,
have advanced the price for piloting
boats to Nashville and back to $200, al
lowing thirteen days for the trip. They
are to receive $10 for each additional
day.
" Shipments are made to Nashville at
$3 50 per hundred, and to Memphis and
the lower Ohio at $1 25."
The Louisville Journal of Saturday
says:
The river at this point was at a stand
last evening, with 2 feet scant in the ca
nal. It will doubtless be rising to-day.
There is a rise at Pittsburg, and steady
rains there Thursday night and yester
day. Private advices inform us that the
river commenced rising at Cincinnati
. J 1J ri,
yesieraay evening, mere is also a re
ported rise in the Scioto and Muskin-
fum. The Monongahela is rising at
Irownsville, and there is a rise of 3 feet
in the Youghiogheny, a tributary of the
Monongahela The rains of Thursday
mght and r riday appear to have been
general along the Upper Ohio, and there
is some reason to hope for a coal-boat
rise. There are at present over four
millions bushels of coal, in barges, above
Pittsburg, awaiting a rise to descend the
river.
The Tennessee river Is rising very
fast, having already swollen over ten
feet
The Nashville Journal of Friday
says:
The river ia rising again gradually.
Its water is becoming more turbid. Those
familiar with its depth, at various points,
say there are about five feet of water on
tne snoaia snouid tms depth continue
a few days, we may anticipate a fine fleet
of steamers and great activity at the
landings.
Those fleet and elegant steamers, the
Jacob Strader and Telegraph No. 3,
have undergone the most complete re
pairs at Mound City, and, as soon as the
river rises, will enter the trade from Lou
isville to Memphis.
There was quite a fleet of steamers in
port here on Saturday. The Hetty Gil
more went to Rumsey with a magnificent
trip, but being unable to pass the locks
she returned to this city and discharged
her freight, and left in the evening for
Louisville. Capt. Combs was in com
mand.
The Colonna arrived on Saturday
morning, and was pressed into Govern
ment service and will go to Nashville.
The difficulties of navigation render it
impossible to announce with accuracy
what packet will be here for Louisville
to day. Either the Colossus or J. T. Mc
Combs may be expected. Both are
great favorites with the traveling public
r The Colossus arrived from Louisville
yesterday morning, and returned in the
afternoon.
The J. T. McCombs will certainly be
here this morning, and leave at noon for
Louisville.
The May Duke is due to-day from
Cairo, and may be expected to go out
with the mails at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The Emma is loading here with Gov
ernment freight for the Cumberland.
She left last evening.
The Charley Bowen, tv learn, has
been pressed into the 0-'-"riiment ser
vice at Paducah.
The news yesterday from above is
very inspiriting to steamboat men.
Capt. J. B. Hall's new wind-mill was
put into operation yesterday, but the
wind was too light to determine its work
ing capacities.
J. B. used a different kind of a wind
mill a few years ago, when the Enquirer
was in existence.
The James Gray leaves for Bowling
Green this evening.
