TOBACC AN) THE INTERNAL RXIc
ENUE DEP-ARTMENT.-To producers'of
tobacco and those dealing in the article,
the followjng decision froni the Tress.
uty Department, is of grea intereatt
Tobacco in the hands of a purchaser
may be sold indefinitely within the
insurrectionary States, without becoming
liable to tax. But when the same is
sold to be transferred beyond the limits
of said insurrectionary States it becomes
liable to the tax imposed by the law in
force at the tine the first sale of the
same tobacco was made by the manifac.
turer thereof.
Tobacco froi Virginia or North
Carolitta cannot be shipped by way of
New York to New Orleans, though the
same was made and sold prior. to the es.
tablishment of collection districts in said
States without the payment of- the
tax.
The tax would accrue onl tobacco
'nanufactured by a firm, should said firm,
on being dissolved, divide the' stock on
hat of manufactured 'tobacco Among the
individual members of the flire. . If a
sale-of said tobacco should afterwr.rd be
made, to be oarried beyond the limits of
the insurrectionary State#, the rate of tax
would be determined by the time when
sudh first sale was made.
In-all casses where any. party shall
make claims to have good. assessed at a
different rate from the current rates,
under the law now in force, it will be in
cumbent upon him to show to the entire
satisfaction. of the assessor that the
hrecise time when the sale was made
entitles him to a lower rate of duty.
