TAX UPoN NATIVE WINES AND BaAspIrs
The statement that spirits distilled from
apples, peaches or grapes are exempt from
taxation, under the laws Of Congress, Is with.
out any foundation. The old law fixed the tax
upon brandy distilled from these products at
81 so per gallon, at which time the tax upon
latter article was reduced to 81 cents, that upon
brandy was reduced to the same amount, but
under the decision Of the Attorney General
persons engaged in distilling wine or brandy
from grapes, apples and peaches were exempt
from the special tax Of 81 imposed upon other
distillers and required to pay q specisl tax OF
$50 onlv.
