Hot Weather Fabrics At Turbulent Low Prices

The note claims superior value in millinery and hats, with courteous service and factory prices on yarns, flannels, blankets, cassimeres, and dress goods, plus a broad bargain-filled department store offer.

Stamp tax favored to replace beer tax in tariff plan
In the Senate discussions the stamp tax emerges as the preferred substitute for the beer tax with strong backing from silver and Republican factions. Senator Carter and Senator West signal firm stances, while New York’s Plate vows to introduce an amendment substituting the stamp tax and oppose the beer levy if the finance committee persists. Hanna and several Republicans also oppose the beer tax, steering toward a stamp tax as the more popular revenue source. The stamp tax would apply to all checks and receipts, targeting those able to bear the burden.
