SEC. 2. That from and after the 1st day of May, eighteen hundred and eighty-three, dealers in leaf-tobacco shall pay $12; dealers in manufactured tobacco shall pay $2.40; all manufacturers of tobacco shall pay $6; manufacturers of cigars shall pay $6.

Retail dealers in leaftobacco shall pay $250, and 30 cents for each dollar on the amount of their monthly sales in excess of the rate of five hundred dollars.

It shall be the duty of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, to adopt such rules and regulations and to prescribe and furnish such blanks and forms as inay be necessary to carry this act into effect.

Mr. SPRINGER moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Ways and Means with instructions "to report a bill at the earliest time practicable repealing all internal revenue laws and abolishing all internal revenue offices, except section 3413 of the Revised Statutes and all amendments thereto, imposing a tax of 10 per cent. on certain circulating notes, and except also the laws relating to distilled spirits, the repeal to take effect on each particular subject of taxation at such time in the future as the committee may deem expedient, but not later on all subjects and offices than January 1, 1884; and to so reorganize the system of collecting taxation on distilled spirits as to dispense with all supernumerary officials and to secure the most economical and efficient method of raising such revenue."
