Licenses and Stanfps.
Licenses of various kinds are required for certain dealers and peddlers, before they can do business. The provisions of law in the matter are somewhat numerous, and are changed from time to time by new leg- islation. Some perplexity results, and it is said that people violate the Statutes in this matter, without knowing it, and have to suffer by forfeitnres and fines. It has, there- fore, been desired that the essential portion of the license laws, as affecting business people, be published here for ready refer- ence.
MANUFACTURERS OR DEALERS IN CI- GARS, TOBACCO OR LIQUORS, contribute very largely for the support of the govern- ment, and what is required of them by the
last enactment is thus stated by the Com. missioner of Internal Revenue :
" The law of December 24, 1872, requires every person engaged in any business, avo- cation or employment which renders him liable to a special tax, to procure and place conspicuously in his establishment or place of business a stamp denoting the payment of said tax before commencing business. The taxes embraced within the provisions of the law above quoted are the following, viz. : Rectifiers, $200; dealers, retail liquor, $25; dealers, wholesale liquor, $100; deal- ers in malt liquors, wholesale, $50; dealers in malt liquors, retail, $20; dealers in leaf tobacco, $25; retail dealers in leaf tobacco, $500; and on sales of over $1,000, fifty cents for every dollar in excess of $1,000 ; dealers in manufactured tobacco, $5; manufactur- ers of stills, $50; and for each still manufac- tured, $20; and for each worm manufac- tured, $20 ; manufacturers of tobacco, $10; manufacturers of cigars, $10; peddlers of tobacco, first class (more than two horses), $50; peddlers of tobacco, second class (two horses), $25; peddlers of tobacco, third class (one horse), $15; peddlers of tobacco, fourth class (on foot or public conveyance), $10; brewers of less than 500 barrels, $50; brewers of 500 barrels or more, $100."
PEDDLERS .- Extracts are given below from the fiftieth chapter of the Revised Statutes of Massachusetts, but changed es- sentially, in some portions, by subsequent amendments. The emendations up to the present time are here presented.
No license is required for peddling some articles, as appears from the following in the chapter mentioned above : " Section thir. teen-Any person may go about from town to town, or from place to place, or from dwelling-house to dwelling-house in the same town, exposing to sale or selling fruits and provisions, live animals, brooms, agricul- tural implements, fuel, newspapers, books, pamphlets, agricultural products of the United States, and the products of his own labor or the labor of his family," but "no articles of the growth or production of any foreign country " are included in this free permit. Minors may be required to pro- cure a license before they may sell articles that adults can sell without license, if a town or city by vote so direct.
Ilonorably discharged soldiers and sailors,

partially disabled by wounds or sickness in the service of the United States, may ob- tain a special State license to peddle with- out paying anything therefor, on applying to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and presenting satisfactory proofs of such ser- vice, disability and discharge, and of per- sonal identity.
Peddling is forbidden by law, in the case of certain articles, as will be seen, from Sec- tion fifteen : " The sale of spirituous liquors, playing cards, indigo, and feathers in the manner specified in section thirteen, is pro- hibited."
llow to obtain a license for peddling, what must be paid for it, what sort of a " character" is needed, and what things may be dealt in, are set forth by the law in the chapter referred to, as amended at vari- ous times, in words following: "Section six- teen-The Secretary of the Commonwealth may grant a license to go about exposing to sale and selling any goods, wares of mer- chandise, not prohibited in the preceding section, to any applicant who files in his office a certificate signed by the mayor of the city or majority of the selectmen of a town, stating that to the best knowledge and belief of such mayor and selectmen, the applicant therein named is a citizen of the United States, or has declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States, and is of good repnte for morals and integ- rity.
" The mayor or selectmen, before granting such certificate, shall require the applicant to make oath that he is the person named therein ; that he is a citizen of the United States, or has declared his intention to be- come a citizen of the United States ; which oath shall be certified by a justice of the peace and accompany the certificate. Every license so granted shall bear date the day it is issued, and shall continue in force one year and no longer. Section seventeen- The Secretary shall cause to be inserted in every license the names of such cities and towns as the applicant selects, with the sum to be paid to the respective treasurers there- of annexed, and shall receive from the ap- plicant one dollar for each city or town so inserted. Every person so licensed may sell as aforesaid any goods, wares and merchan- dise, not prohibited in section fifteen in any city or town mentioned in his license,
upon first paying the sum so required to the treasurer of such city or town, who shall certify on the face of the license the sum so received. Section eighteen - Every person licensed under the two preceding sections shall pay to the treasurer of each city or town mentioned in his license, the sums fol- lowing : For every town containing not more than one thousand inhabitants, accord- ing to the United States Census next pre- ceding the date of his license three dollars; for every town containing more than one thousand and not more than two thousand inhabitants, six dollars ; for every town con- taining more than two thousand and not more than three thousand inhabitants, eight dollars; for every town containing more than three thousand and not more than four thousand inhabitants, ten dollars; for every city and town containing more than four thousand inhabitants, ten dollars, and one dollar for every one thousand inhabitants over four thousand contained therein ; but the sum to be paid to a treasurer shall in no ease exceed twenty-five dollars. Section nineteen-Any person resident, paying taxes upon his stock in trade, and qualified to vote in city or town, may there expose to sale and sell goods, wares or merchandise, upon obtaining a license pursuant to the provis- ions of sections sixteen and seventeen, and shall not be required to pay to the treasurer of such city or town any sum therefor."
For a special State license, fifty dollars must be paid the secretary of the Com- monwealth ; and for a county license, one dollar to the secretary for each county taken, and an additional sum to the treasurer of such county, varying in amount from four dollars for the richest county, to one for the poorest county. Licenses may be trans- ferred.
Peddlers must post and show licenses, as will be seen by the following :- " Section twenty-four-Every person licensed to peddle as hereinbefore provided shall post his name, residence, and the number of his heense, in a conspicuous manner upon his parcels or vehicle, and when such license is demanded of him by any mayor, alderman, selectman, town or city treasurer or clerk, constable, police officer, or justice of the peace, shall forthwith exhibit it, and if he neglects or refuses so to do, shall be subject to the same penalty as if he had no license. So much

of this chapter as relates to hawkers and peddlers, or a synopsis, thereof, shall be printed on every license."
Forfeitures for violation of this law are from fifty to one thousand dollars. Half the money thus obtained goes to complainant.
PAWNBROKERS, DEALERS IN OLD JUNK, AND INTELLIGENCE OFFICES, must procure license anunally from the Mayor and Alder- men ; and if they fail to do it, heavy for- feitures are incurred.
OWNERS OF DOGS must annually pay $2 to the City Clerk the first of May, for license ot a male, and $5 for a female. A penalty of $15 against an owner, and of $100 against an officer for not complying with the law.

The breech-loader, model of 1873, which has been made here, was the combined result of the inventions and im- provements applied by the government and the highest skill displayed by private enter- prise, and it is probably the best breech- loading arm in the world.
The chief arsenal of the government for small arms is here, and there are now stored in it about 275,000 fire-arms of various kinds
