Great Depression Among Distillcrs-Red
tion in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Taxation.
From the Lexington tKy.) Gazette, Nov. 27.l
We regret TO learn from many OF our most reliable
distillers that this branch Of our manufacturing
business Is much depressed, and must OF me-
cessity be reduced TO small proportions COM
pared TO last seasons operations. rms re-
ducIi0n Of the manufacture or whiskey is now
being seriously felt by The farmers In the dlstlery
regions, and VIII consequently have Its effect on
other branches OF business.
This time one year slace the distillers were pur-
chasing all the corn rye and barley tna were olered
for sale, ut remunerutiye prices TO the producer,
whereas now but few are buying AZ all anu only In
moderate quantities and az close prices.
We learn from distilers that the present de-
preston arises from the stringency OF the revenue
laws and inadequacy OF capital IN the State
ture lne distiiers do not complain OF the
amount OF tax demanded on Their product,
but OF the manner and tme OF collecting 1t.
Their product being q speciality and, we may say,
luxury they recognize the right OF the lawmakers
to place any tax it inat may seem best In their

of the tax before the manufactured article Is ready
for consumption mas now, and must during the
tnuance OF the present law, have . depressing
effect nc stated periods.
bourbon wniskey must have considerable time TO
mature and ripen after 1t Is made before 1t Is pro-
perry ready for consumption. The time required
depends upon the different proportions or gram
used and the manner Of dlstllatlon. Some OF II ma
lures or rpens In two to three years sufficient to be
properly merchantable, whereas others require
still more time; hence. the law recurring
IN one year from date OF its manufacture,
forces the manufacturer or dealer to pay the heavy
revenue tax long before Ia probably ready for use
thereby depressing the markes and, In some IN
stances. for want Of sufficient available capital,
causing much loss and trouble to the owners.
We believe no other class OF manufacturers In this
country have this trouble to contend WITH inc man-
tacturers Of cotton wool, hemp nour. &C, ind their
