SUMMARY.
From the preceding 1t will be observed that the
total amount received for internal revenue tax III

ending July l, 1872 was $11, 475. The estimated
sum that viii be collected during the twelve

ductiOp is caused by the abolition or various taxes
at the last session OF Congress- as mentioned
There in the city 92 banks OF deposit and 40 for
savings; $40 wholesale liquor ana 1882 retail
liquor dealers or keepers OF Saloons sample rooms,
groceries and all other places where liquors are
sold In quantities less than five gallons. The num-
ber OF cigars manufactured monthly is over eighteen
millions, and the number of manufacturers ], ,738,
who employ q numerous body OF wOrkmen to assist
them in the business, and there are over ten million
pounds OF tobacco manufactured annually. The
officers is 72,2O0 gallons monthly. The rec
tiners number 259 There are 50 breweries
in the city that produce over 100, ,00C
Ninth district takes in this important commercial
interest to greater extent than any other. 1t is
stated that the capital invested in the manufacture
OF iermented liquors In the United states approx
mates TO the total amount OF the national debt,
and that in q few years 1t will even exceed that
grand figure Perhaps after all If Americans,
Englishmen, Scandinavians and lrishmen took to
drinking lager instead of whiskey, they would be
less belligerent. more happy and instead OF braws
and crimes, there would be lighter criminal cal
endar. 1t Is not to be supposed that the govern
control over the operations Of breweres 80 as to
prevent gallon OF lager brewed to get into market
without paying the 81 tax for each barrel OF
thrty-One gallons The system Is perfect, and woe
betide the German brewer who allows lager to
leave his establishment under the present system
without paying the mpOst.
