Tay Sinnamon, Bill Ross, the Wardens,
the Streets, the Hammonds, The Bakers,
Norris, Washburn, Gaylord, Daggett,
Dfs. Taylor, Orr, Pomeroy, and many
others, came upon the scene, and en-
gagged in various kinds of business.

course, is but a portion OF the fraud
actually committed, but one million
and half Of dollars indicates the
loss Of tax TO the Government in ten
months"
The receipts from fermcntcd liquors
for the fiscal yesI were N,l41,V04,
decrease of Sl60,675, compared with
1874. The number of brewers and
manufacturers Of fcrmented liquors is
27S4. The Commissioners expresses
full confidence in the stamp system
for TIC collection Of the revenue. A
recommendation Is made that deserv-
ing gaugers receive seven dollars a
day, and that in some irstances the
Offices Of gauger aud storckecper be
consolidated, by which 100000 can
DO saved.
The total receipts from tobacco were
sci, 1908, 46l, an increase over 1874, of
$4,000, $50. The total tax collected on
tobacco from September 1862 TO June
30, 1875, is $225,376,2i9.
The number of gallons of Distilled
spirits produced during the year is
GO,93O, i25, aud spirits removed from
warehouses for export during the last
fiscal year is Sab gallons. The
commissioner says the force of reve-
nue. agents is inadequate, and recon-
mcnds the passage ola law authoriz.
ing fifteen more. lie thinks further
consolidation Of collection districts
can be made without affecting the
revenue, aud that the plan Of gauging
wholesale liquor dealers packages by
United States gaugers can be dispens-
ed With, and a simple system of checks
by stamp substituted, which will pre-
vent any over issue. He recommends
making the violation of the law relat,
ing to friction matches criminal of
Tense, punishable by fine and impris-
onment. lie also desires that Internal
Revenue agents be empowered to de-
msnd and obtain any inspection of
books aud papers of distillers, reciifi-
ere, brewers, wholesale liquor dealers,
and manufacturers of tobacco, snufi
aud cigars. The Commissioner. esti-
mates the collections for the present
fiscal year from all sources of Internal
Revenue at $I22, 100000. 4
