six States contributed only $l6,922,00O
of internal revenue, which was less than
the amount contributed by two South

There are some dumb people who reason
that those who consume the whisky, to-
bacco and other commodities taxed by
the Government are the persons who act
ually pay the tax imposed upon the
articles aforesaid. If this theory is +
rect then the citizens of Kentucky and
Virginia must consume an inordinate
quantity of the whisky and tobacco
which form the staple production of these
States, and it is therefore all the more
difficult to account in a satisfactory man
ner for the snake stories that are app +
entity indigenous in localities outside of
either of those Commonwealth.
