1t strikes as that much of the prevalent
fraud connected with the whiskey business
might be prevented by changing the plan of
taxation, 90 as hereafter to tax the CAPACITY
of the stills, rather than the whiskey admitted
by the owners TO have been made in them
This would involve the Government CUSTODY

they may not be in operation. When the own.
er OF still capable OF making 500 gallons a

1t in operation for the time being, paying the
tax on as many gallons as it will make in the
fine stated. II the tax be reduced even to a
dollar gallon, and such permits are issued,
ii seems ts us that the Government revenues
from whiskey will be increased, possibly ten.
fold. On the basis of the manufacture of
whiskey in the United States when the rebel
lion began, il it all paid ST FER gallon internal
revenue only. there would be need of little
more OF such revenue to pay the interest on
the public debt and raise a handsome sinking
fund to boot.

Quite formidable opposition to the ap-

ularly that McOIernand would carry heavy
weight into the Senate, should his nomination
be sent there, in the fact that he quarreled
with General Grant during the war, for
which he would be pursued now. 1t is
believed that the Senate will be inclined
in the first instance, to reinstate Mr.. Stanton
anyhow, and unless some one be nominated
for Secretary to whom no serious objection
can be made by the Radicals, the Senate will
name without reference

weight with the Republicans, and who can
WELD influence that will aid in securing his
confirmation. It is probable upon the present

further considered in connection with the W ar

TAXATION


The New York Times OF Yesterday contains
q sensible article in favor of restricting the
collection OF revenue to sufficient to pay the
interest on the public debt, with perhaps the
creation OF sinking fund to pay the present
generation 3 fair snare only, Of the principal.
Such, we take II, is the drift OF the Times
advice.
This question OF direct taxation is just now
of no less political importance than that Of
reconstruction. Indeed, it is likely to have
most political effect in tie Presidential election.
Congress will be compelled by public opinion
to confine the weight OF internal tax alton to
from half dozen TO dozen articles of luxury,
and to reform effectively the mode or modes of
collecting the revenue from them. This is the
only bar 10 the rapid growth of a popular
, sentiment favortng Reputation. The people
are entitled TO be treated fairly and honestly
on both these points; they are not treated
under the present system of taxation and
Its machinery. The fact that immense frauds
on the Government are perpetrated, and
that the system assesses the internal taxes IN
justly and imprudently in many cases, is the
fault OF one party as much as of the other; OF
Congress, as much As of the administrative
branch Of the Government. The uncertainty
of the tenure Of the tax .gatherer's office is
potent source of corruption and loss, while II
is notorious that lobbying effects great mus
tice in apportioning the burden upsn the differ
ent interests and things taxed. We doubt not.
the most influential men in Congress will next
winter address themselves to this subject mat.
ter with the earnestness it demands. If not.
they may prepare TO find the national lsgisla
ture held TO far stricter accountability with
reference to it at the polls next fall, than ever
before. .I
