Boston Banks Assured on Direct Tax Payment in Bland Dollars

Treasurer Huston sought to reassure three Boston banks protesting the use of silver certificates for direct tax payments under the Bland act. He said the draft for the money is not yet issued and will be paid in lawful money when issued, possibly partly in silver certificates. The Treasury aims to keep Bland dollars circulating in the South and West and away from Eastern banks. The Maine payment of 857,702 dollars under the direct tax act was made today mainly in silver certificates.

Duties on Ring Waste in Wool Tariff Ruling

The Treasury accepts the Circuit Court of Cleveland ruling that ring waste is dutiable as woollen waste at 10 cents per pound. The Board of General Appraisers had classified it as scoured wool at 30 cents, a change sought by wool interests leveraging Windom’s 1890 guidance. Importers may seek refunds via appeal, while the new tariff remains unaffected for ring waste already enumerated at 30 cents.
