Old Notes. -Mr. James. Watson, a few
'days ago; an looking over 'a number
of papers and documents belonging to
his father, the late W. N„Wateon,
came aciess a number of promisory
notes some of which, were dated as far
back as 1875.\Bach of these notes bore
a Government atamp bringing to mind
the fact that there :was in operation
In those days a stamp act for revenue
eurposes, requiring the placing of a
stamp on ,nates and other bank and
legal documents. On notes the tribute
required was a tone -cent stamp on all
notes of 425 and under and two cents
on amounts from 1:25 to $60 -said a
proportionate tax on amounts over 850.
We do not recollect when 'this h.ote
stamp act was repealed, but, mini the
present tittle there has ,not been any
such tax for a good ,many years. So
that we are not so very much worse
off in ;this respect ,than we were forty
years ago. In those days ,also and in-
deed until -comparatively recent years
the letter postage was three cents and
there was also a .stamp tax on Post
Office 'order. But, in those (,days
there ,were not so many letters writ-
ten, and fewer orders , were • sent,
whereas the business through , the
banks was only a ,tithe of what it is'
now. It is possible the new tax will
curtail bath.
