. . . if adopted as reported, will levy a heavy tax upon the
newspapers or country. They are taxed
heavily upon the paper used, upon telegraphic dispatches, upon advertisements
and upon aggregate receipts. – The tax upon this office will amount to a large
sum, at least $1,000 per year – a sum so large that we shall probably be
compelled to advance our prices and collect the amount from our patrons, in
part at east. But we shall send our
paper, whatever may be the advance, the full term paid for at the present
rates, to all subscribers. All who
desire to have the Daily for a year at $5, if they are wise will send in their
money before this bill becomes a law. We
shall certainly be compelled to charge $6 as formerly if we are taxed thus
heavily. Besides five dollars is a very
low price without the Federal tax.
