TIE PROPOSED WHIsKEY TAx-The talk
OF increased taxation, and especially of an
increased tax upon whiskey, has set the
spectators in motion. Raise the tax ten
cen.s on whiskey, and speculation will be
rampant ut once. Ii reminds one of the
old times, when a large increase in the tax
was made. Congress was the focus of as
wild and iniquitous speculation as ever was
seen. Some men made their millions out of
it, and it was charged at the time that mem
bers of Congress made hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars. The Senate finance and
the House ways and means committees pre-
tended to keep the secrets of legislation on
the subject, but there were leaky members
who daily impaired secrets worth thousands
to their favorites. A great whiskey ring"
was formed at the West, and when a com
mittee of conference imet to decide the tax.
| myself saw one Of its members come to
the door OF the apartment where they sat
and whisper in the ears of one of the agents
Of the 50 ring 1t was doubtless the tax
certainly it is true that the ring got the Sc
cret in advance of anybody else. 4 hun
dred men amassed fortunes out Of the specu-
latiOn, and it included congressman, bank
ers, publishers and editors, not to say any
thing Of special correspondents. If
there is any increase now in the tax on
whiskey it will be 50 made that there will be
no such chances for speculation as the one
have alluded to, though there is already
excitement among wholesale dealers in
whiskey, and they are inquiring into the
propriety of buying more. The true way
Is for Congress to tax whiskey" on hand
the same as that hereafter to be manuiac-
tured.- Wash. Cor. Springfield Republican.
