Of Interest to Fruit Distillers.

We are requested by Mr.. A. l..
CoBB, Deputy U. S. Collector, to
publish, for the information of
those desiring to engage in fruit
distilling during the approaching
season, the following brief synope
sis OF the requirements of the in.
ternal revenue law in respect to
fruit distillers
Before commencing work the
distiller must register the kind and
number OF his stills with the assis.
tant assessor, ana give uosILo,
through him, to the assessor of his
intention to distill. Blanks for
such registry and notice will be
supplied by the assistant assessor.
Upon receipt of the notice the
assessor proceeds to make survey
Of the capacity Of the distillery, or,
in other words, to determine what
quantity of brandy the dis:illery is
capable of producing in twenty
ty four hours.
The survey having been COM
pleted, the distillcr must then ex.
ecute bond with at least two ap-
proved securities-the penal sum
of this bond is fixed by the asses.
sor and must not be less than dou.
BILE the amount of tax on the bran.
dy that the distillery is capable of
producing in thirty days, and in
no case less than five hundred dol
lars.
Having complied with the fore
going requirements, the distiller
can commence work.
The following additional require
ments must then be observed:
The distillcr must provide him.

has been prescribed by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue,
and make daily entries in their
book of the hours OF running, kind
and quantity of material used,
number Of boilings made, and quan.
,ity of sing!ings produced. It is
most important that this book be
carefully and accurately kept.
The distiIler must also have g some
place of deposit for his brandy, un.
til it has been gauged, marked and
stamped, this may be any house
or building, most suitable for the
purpose, and must be named and
described in the notice given be.

less than twenty gallons capacity,
and transferred to this place OF de
posit, aud then held until gauged

On or before the twenty-fifth
day Of each month the distiller il
required to notify the collector o.
the probable number of packages
of brandy be will have on hand a,

at which time the collector viii

same in triplicato, and will hand

Fruit distillers pay the following

red to, makes an estimate of the
brandy the distillery should have
made during the month.
In making this estimate, allow.
ance is made for all stoppages and
suspensions, as the calculation is
based upon the hours the distillery
was actually run. If, then, the
brandy made during the month is
less than eighty per cent. of the
capacity thus ascertained, the dis.
tiller is assessed upon eighty per
cent. of the deficiency at fifty cents
per gallon. BY careful manage.
ment however, it is believed this
deficiency can be avoided. The
experience of some of the distil-
ers last season may be avcrse to
this, but if they will examine into
their operations, they will find that
their deficiencies were the result
OF bad management, rather than
over.estimated capacities. Many
Of them would boil their stills only
partially filled, and, in many in.
stances, when more than one still
was employed, part would be run
and and the remaining left idle; then
fires, retard boiling, and throw T%s SnS
number of boilings below the num-
ber they were required to make.
BY avoiding all these hindran-
ces and drawbacks, at least eighty
per cent. of their capacity can be
produced.
One great trouble last season
was that distillers did not post
themselves as to the law, and in
view of this, it is urged upon ali
expecting to distill from fruit to
make themselves familiar with the
above named requirements. They
should also make applications as
early as possible, in order to give
ample time for the arranging Of all
preliminary papers.

[From the Salt Lake Tribune.1
Politics in Utah,

In Utah there are two parties
only, the Church and the Liberals.
The questions involved in national
politics do not enter into our con-
test at all. Utah, as a Territory,
has no voice in national councils,
and can cast 10 vote for Presi.
dental electors. The Territorial
delegate may speak in Congress,
but cannot vote. Hence there is
but little chance of the opponents
cf the oligarchy now in power in
this Territory dividing into hostile
camps on questions of secondary
importance. The aim of the or.
ganization is to correct the glaring
evils in our domestic government ;
to demand and obtain a voice in
the councils of the Territory, and
to sever an arrogant and irrespon-
sible Church from the State. The
people propose to govern and not
to be governed by handful of pre-.
Tensions saints, who claim to rule
by divine right. In a word, the
people intend to bring back the
government Of this Territory from
a theocraey TO a Republican form,
pure and popular. That is the mis-.
sion of the Liberal party, and I'M.
der its banner ali opponents to the
Church oligarchy can unite, ire.
spective of religious or political
creeds. There is here no such dis
tinction as Democracy and Repub.
licanism as is known in the States.
but all parties are blended and
combined in the one great Liberal
party, which, in increasing mum
bers, enters the camp aign dcterm-
ined to eventually overthrow its
opponents, and taking the reins of
power direct the various depart
ments of State, not for the inter.
ests and profits Of a few men, but
for the benefit and good of the en-.
tire community. On this broad
liberal platform the new party is
certain to receive the support OF
all right.thinking men, and finally
to win q victory here that will put
Utah on the path leading to pros.
perity and renown.
