There has been great excitement among
wh:skey dealers and spectators tho past
week, owing to an amendment made to
the tax bill in the House Of Representa-
tivcs. taxing all distilled spirits IN store,
as we'll as all distilled after the 1st of May
AS i, is we'll known that speculative pur-
chascs Of whiskey have been made largely
and generally, the last six or eight months,
on the grounds of an anticipated excise
duty, and that the quantity thus pur-
chased has been swcllcd to enormous pro-
portions, it can well be imagined what
CONSERVATION this news produced among
all who had been thus specializing. \
decline of BAL cts per gallon was at oncc
established, the speculative demand ceased
altogether and Saturday anG Monday
prices were nominal. Monday evening
Ii cts. was agreed on, and moderate
demand existed at this rate yesterday.
Now. We do not believe that taxing re-
trospectively will be done. because it is
contrary to what is just anu fair, and the
custom Of the Government; but VIC do
think that the tax on distilled spirits ought
to be Is to 80 cts. per gallon, because
there vii. be as much of it consumed a,
40 cts. as At 25 cts per gallon. and. if a
drawback is given on foreign shipment.
as much distilled at one price as another.
This every man. conversant with the trade,
knows and admits. The project Of taxing
spirits. rectifcd and used in manufactured
liquor. is another mistake made in passing
the tax bin. This is duplicate saxation,
aud is we'll calculated to produce an im'
mcusc amount of difficulty and swiu.lling.
