The high taxes on whisky and tobacco
render it impossible for small capitalists
to manufacture these articles, and the
consequence is that these avocations are
falling into the hands of the large CAPT.
talists, and becoming more and more
monopo!ies. The tax on whisky IS es'
pecially too high. and should be reduced
az there is little doubt that a greater
revenue would be derived from q ia,
