over seventeen millions dollars worth of gold
and silver has been produced in that Territory,
and the yield is rapidly increasing. The follow

The New Revenue Plan-Whisky and Sugar

The New Revenue Plan-Whisky and Sugar
From the HtTaid.
While the general features of the recommenda-
tions in the report of the Revenue Commission
are quite acceptable, there is one point which
we think is open to some objection. For in
stance, the Commissioners propose to reduce the
tax on distilled spirits from two dollars gallon
to one dollar, while they increase the tax on
sugar half cent pound. Whisky is an article
which the people can live without but sugar is
an indispensable commodity. OF all taxable
articles which come within the category of luxu-
ries, whisky is perhaps the one which should be
made to bear the heaviest taxation, not merely
in a commercial but In a moral point OF view.
1t is probable that the Commissioners have
arrived at the conclusion that larger
revenue can be derived from this article
by imposing a lighter tax upon it, mas
much as there will be less temptation to
fraud; and they certainly have a pretty good
basis Tor the idea in the fact that the largest
frauds committed upon the Government in the
whole scale of internal revenue operations
hitherto have been in the manufacture or whisky.
The article can be produced Mt avery low figure
by the manufacturers, and the increase in its
value by the addtion OF tax of two dollars gal
Ion leaves tempting margin of profit for the dis
honest manufacturer. Several seizures of whisky
have been made, to the amount. in some cases, we
believe, of over million of dollars. This, of
course, has been Coniscated, and sold at auction,
the original owner. In this way frauds have
been committed with comparatively little loss
to the perpetrators. 1t may be that the Com
missioners looked at the matter in this light
when they recommended a reduction in the duty.
However, we dare say that the whisky clause
will be made the subject OF extensive jobbing
before the bill gets through Congress, and we
hardly expect to see it come out in its present
shape. There will, doubtless, be conflicting in.
terests brought to bear upon it, Those who
hold have contracted for large stocks of
whisky will manipulate to retain the present
duty, and those who want to buy will advocate
the reduction. 1t is SAID that when the present
internal revenue law was before Congress- and
the taS OF two dollars gallon was i'm posed on
whisky, several large holders of the article
formed league to get the clause inserted
eXempting from duty the stock on hand. For
this purpose they raised fund of million dol
lars, which was so efficiently used in Washing
ion that the clause was got into the BILL and the
adrot confederates made some five or six mil
lions by the operation, realizing clear profit of
some eighty dollars barrel upon the several
thousand barrels which they had in store, and
which they bought up with the securitv that
their investment in Washington would result
precisely as it did ..
The proposition to reduce the tax on whisky
therefore, may be expected to lead to sundry
jobs and speculations before the bill goes through
Congress.

The Einnnnea.

From ne Tribwns .A
Congress has now been two months in session,
yet no bill has yet been reported looking to
resumption of specie payments, or to financial
solvency in any way. Meantime, every lntiu-
ence is brought to bear by the spectators and
infationists 10 prevent any earnest effort for
resumption, and keep the currency as inflated and
rickety as possible, so that gamblers in the
necessariesIof life may grow rich at the expense
of honest labor.
No effort, no device lis spared to defeat any
attempt at resumption outright, or, II q Dill
must be passed, TO load it with conditions that
will render it imperative. Thus clamor is
raised against allowing the Secretary Of the
Treasury to pegotiate a loan abroad, to sell
stocks under par, TO fund his short time ndebt-
edness otherwise than in q prescribed order,
etc. ETC., the obiect,o of all this being TO preuen
The funding OF he greenbdoks at all This last
is the aim and object of all these dOdges. Keep
seven hundred millions of greenbacks ahoat,
and high prices must rule; fund them, and we
come down to hardpan inevitably. We trust
the people are looking on.
