AN INTERSTATE DECISION.
A State Cannot Impose a Tax on Drum
mers from Another State.
Washington, March 7. —ln the
United States court to-day a deci
sion was rendered in the case of Sa
bine Robbins, plaintiff in error,
against the taxing district of Shelby
county, Tennessee, in error, to the
supreme court of Tennessee. This
ease arises out of the following state
of facts :
Robbins was engaged in Memphis
soliciting orders for stationery for a
Cincinnati firm, and in exhibiting
samples for the purpose of effecting
sales. A state law applicable only
to this one taxing district
force, subjecting “drummers,” and
all persons not having a regular li
censed house of business in the dis
trict offering or selling goods by the
sample, to a tax of -ten dollars a
week, or twenty-five dollars a month.
Robbins, who was unlicensed, was
arrested, tried, convicted and fined,
and an appeal to the judgmwas
affirmed. The case has been brought
to tliis court on a writ of error, upon
the ground that the law imposing
the tax is repugnant to that clause
of the constitution of the United
States which declares that congress
shall have tho power to regulate the
commerce among the several states.
The principal question involved is
as to the constitutionality of the act
which imposed the tax. and it is, in
the opinion of this court, a question
of great importance to the people of
the United States, both as respects
their business and their constitu
tional rights.
In a long and carefully prepared
opinion by Justice Hradley,- this
court holds that the constitution
gives to congress power to regulate
commerce among the states, and
that power is necessarily exclusive,
wherever the subjects of it are na
tional in their character or admit of
one uniform system or plan of regu
lation.
2. Where the power of congress to
regulate is exclusive, its failure to
act indicates its will that the subject
shall be left free from any restric
tion, and any regulation by states,
except in matters of local concern
only, is repugnant to such freedom.
3. The only way by which com
merce between the states can be leg
itimately affected hj* state laws is
when by virtue of its police power
and its jurisdiction over persons
and property w’thin its limits, the
state provides for the security of
life, limb, health, comfort and prop-
erty, or when it does those things
which may incidentally affect com
merce ; but in making such internal
regulations a state cannot impose
taxes upon persons passing through
or coming in merely for a tempora
ry purpose; nor upon property im
ported and not yet become a part of
the common mass, and no discrimi
nation can be made by any such
regulation adversely to the persons
or property of another state, and no
regulation can be made directly af
fecting interstate commerce. ' In
the matter of interstate commerce.
In the matter ot interstate com
merce the United States are in the
opinion of this court, but one coun
try, and are and must be subject to
one system of regulation, and not to
a multitude of regulations. It.seems
to be forgotten that the people ot
this country are citizens of the Uni
ted States, as well as of individual
states, and they have some rights
under the constitution and laws of
the former independent of the latter,
ami free from any interference of re
straint from them. To deny a state
power to lay the tax or require the
iicense in question will not. the
court believes, in any perceptible
degree, diminish its resources.
Goods when brought into a state in
consequence of sale by a drummer
will be liable to tax, and much will
be realized it tho tax were imposed
before the sale. To tax a sale of
goods under such circumstances be
fore sale is. ir. the opinion of the
court, clearly a tax on interstate
commerce itself. If the employ
ment of drummers injuriously affects
local trade, congress may he appeal
ed to make such regulations as the
case may demand, and congress
alone can do this. The confusion
into- which tho commerce of tho
country would bo thrown by being
subjected to stato legislation on this
subject would lie, the court says,
but a repetition of the disorder
which prevailed under the old arti
cles of confederation.
The judgment of the supreme
court of Tennessee is reversed and
plaintiff in error is ordered to he dis
charged.
Opinion by Justice Bradley, chief*
justice ; and Justices Field and Gray
dissenting on the ground that the
law in question is applicable to
drummers coming into Shelby coun
ty district from other part* of Ten
nessee, as well aa to those from other
states, and to relievo tho latter from
taxation imposed on the former
would be a discrimination against
the citizens of a state.
A similar- decision was rendered
—all the justices concurring—in the
case of George Carson, plaintiff in
error, against the stal3 of Indiana.
The judgment of the court of appeals
of that state is reversed and the
cause remanded with directions that
the plaintiff in error be discharged.

A few nights ago in Cincinnati,
ex-Governor Hoadly, in a speech
before the Ohio club, among other
things said :
“1 am about to leave Ohio. lam
going to New York. I’m going to
he a democrat in New York, though
whether with the county democracy
or Tammany, 1 don’t know ; but
the first chance I get I’m going to
vote the democratic ticket, because
there is no temptation whatever to
vote otherwise at this time. We
have at tho head of our government
one of the bravest, truest, and best
men that ever sat in the executive
chair. There is no office in the land
to which I aspire, but above every
thing I would like to be a delegate
to the national democratic conven
tion to vote for the renomination of
Grover Cleveland. If ever there
was a president in the annals of our
history that has faithfully and per
sistently done his duty under tlm
most difficult and trying circum
stances Grover Cleveland is that
man. If to day, with Cleveland as
president, aided by his able cabinet,
the democratic party is not a suc
cess, the failure is not that of Grover
Cleveland ; it is the failure of the
democracy. And, just as certain as
fate, if the democratic party uoes
not stand by its leader now and in
the future, just so certain will the
condemnation come, not on him,
but on them.”
