There is paid into the customhouses throughout the country during the year about $4.000.000 in head taxes. so the argument that applies to custom duties applies to the head tax. and there is no reason under the shining sun why the men who are in this business and who have to take and cart this gold and silver down to the customhouse should not be relieved of that burden. All that this amendment does is to extend the provisions of the statute to the steamship people who pay $4.000.000 a year. and I hope. therefore. the amendment will be agreed to.
