WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The Commission
er of Internal Revenue in his annual report
predicts that the internal revenue lax for the
present fiscal year will reach $4,000, 900.
During the past year 3,117 illicit stills have
been seized. He recommends that 100000
. be appropriated to stop Illicit dstilling
} During the year ending June 1879, $116,000,-
900 of internal revenue taxes were collected;
increase in receipts from distilled spirits OF
S., 900 over 1878; increased productions
of distilled spirits nearly $16,00O,0O0. The
t report is very voluminous.
The increase in manufactured tobacco is
, 100000 pounds, and 194,0O0O0O increase
in the number of cigars and cigarettes; $500
persons have been arrested for Illicit distil-
y ling 27 employees were killed and 4Swound-
/ ed while enforcing the revenue laws. The
+ Commissioner says: 'sIt is clear to my mind
that in some portions of the country, for some
, time to come, reliance cannot be placed upon
State courts for Furnishing citizens who com.
3 NIT murder or assaults to murder upon oul
officers, or while engaged in the performance
, of their duties. 1t seems to me of the utmost
, importance that the United States should
under it's OWE laws and through its OWL
f. courts, undertake the trial and punishment OF
a persons who are guilty of assault to murder
! officers while engaged in the performance o
their special duties, and l made recommen
, dation in my last report for the passage Of
such law by Congress"
During the year 1870 there were IA, ,S37 ,5Sl
gallons of spirits exported, and the demand
f. is undated. Regarding the production ant
four months of the present fiscal year, the
: report says. sit shows that the foreign de-
mand of last year is steadily maintained
9 while the production is 2,794, 1913 gallons
g greater than for the corresponding period O.
h last year, and the withdrawal of 2,45S,95(
r gallons greater than for the same period las
/ year. If the business of the four months il
. maintained during the balance of the tisca
f year, which is scarcely to be doubted, the pro
. duction will be over S27, 100000 gallons, ant
V the amount of tax received will be over $45,
i $4,000.
