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.

Washington, March 7.—The fol lowing circular was issued by the treasury department this evening to holders of trado dollars: Treasury of the United States, Washington. March 7. 2884.—Owing to the present inadequate provisions for the reception and storage of trade dollars, the redemption of which is provided for under act of congress passed February 20, IBS7, the following regulations will be ob served, in order, so far as practica ble, to comply with terms of the law: Trade dollars, if not defaced, mu tilated or stamped, will be redeemed or exchanged at the office of the treasurer and the several assistant treasurers o f the United States.

Fotification by holders of trade dol lars to the treasurer or sub-treasur ies of the United States of amounts Geld by there respectively, will be held to be a sufficient presentation of coins within the meaning, and will entitle holders in the order of reception of such notification to de posit sueh coins in the respective sub-treasuries, when notified that such deposits can bo received at those offices. Notifications must bo filed with the sub-treasurers on or before Au gust Ist, 1887. A tter notifying these officers and upon receipt of notification from them, such coins may bo forwarded, hv express or otherwise, transportation charges being prepaid, when receipts will be issued for amounts purporting to be contained in the deposits in the or der of their reception. Upon count and ascertainment of the amount of each deposit payment will be made thereof or in standard dollars or fractional silver coin at the option of holder. Defaced, mu tilated or stamped trado dollars found in deposit* will not be redeem ed or exchanged by any ot the sub treasury officers, bnt they will be returned to the depositor or pur chased as bullion in sums of thirty’’ dollars and upwards by the United State's miots at the option of the de positors.

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.
