WHIsKEY LAWS AND TsXEs.

How to Secure Pure Whislkeys-what tho
Present Laws WIN Result In.
During the fall OF 1858 and early period OF 1859 a
large demand sprang up for the article or pure Ken
lucky copper whiskeys. This demand was OCCASION
ed by the passage OF the present Internal Revenue
law Of July, 1883, reducing the tax spirits from
two dollars to ffty cents, or rather sixty cents,
special Included THIS law naturally led the dealers
In liquors to suppose that pure copper Bourbons
would find very large consumption over that OF the
commoner grades in view OF the reduction OF tax
and also from the fact that the present law being
completely enectual In collecting all the tax dis
titled spirits, that both the common and the fine
grades OF liquors would share alike in the efrectuai
execution of the present law, different to that OF
the manner OF collecting tax under the old law.
Under that old law a large amount OF the common
or raw whiskey ESCAPED tax while the Kentucky
whiskeys paid all or nearly all OF the tax leaving the
advantages in favor Of the common grades. For
Illustration. pure Kentucky whiskeys year old
under the old law, sold an average OF 50 20 per
gallon, while reot1ed whiskey under the same law
did not much exceed on an average 81 so. Under
the present law dealers are Obliged to sell year old
whlskeys from bond IN Kentucky as cheap a. the
rectihed spirits. This "a because contracts were
made during the fan OF 1858 with Kentucky dlsters
for ABOUT 100 900 barrels Of pure copper Bourpons at
Dond tshort price, new nom the still. These
contracts were made upon the basis and rea-
SOC before stated. namely, that the present law
would entirely revert the consumption Of liquors
from the low grades TO the pure copper, but II has
not so resulted and the dealers-in pure liquors
have suffered and must suffer greatly for the fol-
loving reasons, for which they ask an extension OF
time 70 pay tax on the stock in bond:-Inese con-
tracts or sales were made on terms OF four to SIX
months from the time they were distilled and bonded.
Bourbon and rye distIllers, nnding the margin of
profit so great, run their works day and night and
