The Tax on VI hisky.

The Chicago Republican is urging
Congress to reduce the tax on whis.
ky that Illinois farmers may trans.
form their corn into that article, and
avoid the necessity of using it fol
fuel.
II the Government of the United
States was run exclusively for the
benefit of the State of Illinois, and
particularly the city of Chicago, i,
might do well to make this change
hut rs it is we have no idea that Con
gress will do it.
Taxation should, as a rule, be Il {
heaviest upon articles of luxury II
a man is unable to purchase 8 800
piano, he is able to pay heavy tax
upon it, but upon articles of neces-
sity, which tie poor MUST have, the
tax should be as light as possible.
Whisky is used as u luxury and is
taxed rs such, and we hope the tax
may never be lessened, for several
reasons.
lst. AS IL is used--as a beverage
it is not only unnecessary, but al
unmitigated curse; and if the people
will use it, it Is right and proper that,
like all other "luXuries," a heavy tax
be put upon it, making this article
bear heavier burden than those all.
solutely ~ necessary
I'd. The enormous tax imposed
upon spirits has lcssened the con.
sumption. There is, to. day, not near
the quantity of liquors drank as there
was in the good old times" when
whisky could he purchased for
eighteen or twenty cents per gallon,
and the doggeries could furnish it at
three or five cents per drink, and
make from three TO four hundred per
cent. The regular drinkers have
fallen back on malt liquors, which is
certainly an improvement upon the
whisky of fonr years ago.
81 An argument in favor of a re.
.duction of tax on whisky, would
apply with equal force to reduction
OF the tax on all other articles and
II Congress would pay attention to
the sections interested in particular
things, before the present session
closed the tax would be removed
from every article on the list.
We had rather see the tax on whis
ky raised than reduced. twill bcal
taxation better than any other articl,
on the bill, and bears harder upor
those able to endure it and lighter
upon those not. Pile the taxes OF
lnxuries and unnecessaries, for onl,
the wealthy can afford them, bu
keep hands Off of the necessalies O
life, which the laborer has to use a.
much as the millionaire.

President johnson, in q converse
tion with Senator, recently, objected
to the number of amendments to the
Constitution that are being daily Of
fered to Congress. He took the just
ground that so many amendments
had tendency TO diminish the dig.
nifty and prestige attached to the
Constitution, and to lessen the re-
spect and confidence of the people in
it. He said If amendments were to
made, but lie did not consider them
necessary, changing the basis of rep.
resentation and taxation, he thought
the proposition embraced in the fol.
lowing lines sufficient:
Representatives shall be appointed
among the several States which may
be included within this union accord
ing to the number of qualified voters
in each State; direct taxes shall be
apportioned among the several States
VhtNh hiug bS iHNlhAiNl Nllulu lllls
union according to the value of all
tixable property in each State. An
amendment Of this kind would, in his
opinion, place the. basis OF represen.
tation and direct taxation upon cor.
rect principles. The qualified voters
were for the most part men who were
subject TO draft and enlistment when
Aecessary to repel invGsions, sup.
press rebellion and quell domestic
violence and insurrcction. They
risk their lives, shed their blood and
spend their all TO uphold the Gov
ernment and give protection, securi
~ and value toproperty. 1t seemed
q, but just that property should com.
pensate for the benefits thus con.
ferred, by defrayiug the expenses in.
cident TO its projection and enioy-
ment. Such an amendment, the
President suggested, pwould remove
from Congress all issues in reference
to the political equality of the races
IT would leave the States TO deter.
mine absolutely the qualifications of
their own votes with regard TO color
and the number of Representatives
TO which they would be entitled in
Congress would depend upon the
number upon which they conferred
the right Of suffrage.

imported make an aggregate Of
sl30, ,000,0 OF which the manufac
tured wood, amounting 20 2S7,000,-
600 pounds, cost Sl5, 100000. Near
~ all the imports of wool under the
late tariff came at either three or four
cent per pound, the duty averaging
less than five cents. The wools of
Australia and South Africa, which
are fine merinos, are invoiced at less
than twcnty-four cents per pound.
