haps. that this is an easy thing to say-but how is
it to be provcd' To this we have only to reply that
corroboratve testimony from high scientific sour
ces, and from citizens Of good standing in every pro-
fession and calling, extending period of more
than twenty 6vc years. is at the service of whom it
may concern. Volumes Of this testimony have been

sequences which ensue from the sale OF unwhosome
compounds bearing the name Of the varons spurious
liquors. the powers that be are in some degree res
ponsiblc. Deriving, it does, large revenue from
the importation and manufacture of alcoholic bevcr-
ages, it is manifesty the duty Of the General Gov
crnment to protect the people as far possible
against the introduction of roIsoxs into their daily
drnf. Still more imperative is the obligation to
shield the sick from the peril of being killed or in
iurcd by perncious xc.tants, administered as MBD-
IcISrs Inspection and taxation ought, in this
NATTER to so hand in hand and in all of adu-
tcraton, the adulteratcd articles instead of being
taxed, should i've DESTROYED. Every tincturs and
extract containing purporting to contain, alco-
hol. should be examined by competent scientific
men, and not permitted to 20 into the market until
its purity has been authoritatively certified. The
sanitary interests Of the community should be para
mount to the financial interests of the Government
the public health being of indefinitely more inn
portance than the public revenue. But no such
protective supervision is exercised, either by the
central power at Washington or BY the State Gov
ernmeats. The Internal Revenue Assessors and
Collectors simply demand their tax, knowing moth
ing ofthe wholesomcness ofthe article upon which it
is levied; the Customhouse Collectors insist on pay
ment Of the duties required by law on imported q-
uors, but how much or how little foreign poison
there may be in each cask or puncheon, it is not

entirely overlooked its function ofpublic protection
in legslatng the liquor question. State Legisa-
lures have been equally remss. Many Of them
have tried prohi tion and failed. No one Of them,
so far as we arc aware, has endeavored to mitigate
the evils ofwhich they have all complained, BY in
stituting rigid system Of inspection. We should
be gad to see such system adopted an expert
ment. 1t would at least prevent unprincipled deal
ers from palming of upon the working classes, to
an unlimited extent, the frey fluids which I'LL our
