quarters at Chicago. 1t is com
posed of distillers, wholesale
and retail dealers, U. S. at
torneys and revenue officers. =
1t also operates with "rings' in
the East. The following may
serve to show how stipend
ms are these transactions:
Since The establishment OF
those affiliated rings, and urd-
er the security afforded by
them, the manufaclur OF whlS'
ky has been increased IN all
parts Of the country beyond
precedent. In Cook County
there are some thirty distiller'
les of which twenty.six are in
the city of Chicago. These
stills are of various capacities,
and produce in the aggregate
about 400 barrels of sixty gal
Ions each per day. The tax
on this amount is $4,000 per
day, or S1,440,00O per month
or S17,2S0,OO0 per amman. OF
this sum the books of the Col
lector of this district show that
not over $4,000 per month is
paid, being less than five cents
per gallon upon the whisky
trade in this country.

President" who furnishes JOY
anl comfort to the rebel hordes
throughout the land, once
claimed that his heart was 10y

cherished a sacred devotion and
respect for the flag under which
lie sought protection. When
u. S. Senator from Tennessee
and q guest at the Burnet
House, in Cincinnati, in the
month Of September, 1861, he
spoke as follows to the loyal
people Of Cincinnati:
Il intend to fight in defense
OF this Government as long as
life shall last. 1t is wrong to
destroy the best Government
