IT HAD A Rad EFFECT on REVENUE RECEIPTS.
Special Dispatch TO TIC Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26.-The origin OF the
system of liberal gauging, which has occasioned
excitement among tho Western distillers, and has
been made the basis Of somo ee1zures is at last
discovered. The attention OF the Internal Rey-
cnue Bureau first called to it by the report OF
S. j. Kinney, Revenue Agent, Eighth Illinois
District, under date Of Dec. &c, 1876. Tint re-
port is substantially as fol1ows:.
An examination OF the district shows that the liberal
gau91nc about which numerous complaints h4ye bcen
made, continues.
Investigation shows that the detillers claim they
are entitled to half d gallon package
F>R RwAsrAGE,
in accordance with the previous action Of CANCERS
approved by the Commissioner OF internal Rev
enue. The Gaugars say that in November last the
Commissioner Of Internal Rc:cnue, 1l4u,n held
several conferences with uaugers and distillezs;
that the disticrs complained that the gauging was
too STRICT nnd that they never could sell as much
whisky out OF package Us they paid tax upon that
Commissioner Rum then Instructed the Gaugcrs to
be liberal in their .saugng und to make proper al
lowaucc for wastasc and loss in shipment; that the
CANCERS understood this to mean that their pre-
slous action in allowing half gallon per package
WAS APPROVED,
and that they had continued doing SO since this
verbal instruction from Commissioner Raum, Kin
ney expresses the belief that this practice will not
continue after Lis visit and says he thinks
the Gaueers and di5,lllcrs misunderstood
Commissioner Raum's verbal Instructions, pnl
that he meant only in case Of doubt
to give, as Kinney puts it, ''thc distilers the
benefit Of the doabt" Upon charre Of liberal
