Now. as to the payment of the tax. We make the maker of oleomargine pay the tax for the inspection of his product. We collect from the steamship companies- nominally from the immigrants. a head tax to pay for that inspection service. When we put the Government label on these goods going out from the packing houses. we give them a value which they could obtain in no other way. especially after all that has occurred. and they ought to pay this expense. The inspection tax is a trifle. and it ought to be borne by those who are pecuniarily benefited by it.
