The duty on whisky is 90 cents per gal.
Ion, on beer and ale 81 per barrel, on to-
bacco IL cents per pound, on cigars Sc per
thousand. This amounts to about one
eighth OF one cent to the consumer Of a
glass OF whisky or beer or ale, and 10 m
insignificant fraction on each pound Of to.
bacco Or each cigar consumed. As regards
whisky, and beer and ale, they would not
be any cheaper to the consumer il the tax
was wholly taken of. And yet the govern.
ment divided nearly seventy millions last
year from tho ia. on distilled spirits, over
sixteen millions on fermented liquors, and
over iorty.seyen millions on tobacero in all
it's forms, or n total otsl3s,4ll,35
Who wants these taxes taken Off Ger
tainly not tho public-not even the con-
sumers OF these articles. The tax is the
most popular tax levied by the Govern
ment. These arc the taxes levied and re-.
lied on by all civilized nations for a large
part OF their revenue. They are taxes upon
the luxuries, or, rs some would say, on the
vices Of the people, and can be regulated
by consumers for themselves. No man is
obliged to pay q tax on liquor or tobacco
unless ltc consumes them, and il he con.
sumes them mot being necessities 70 him.
he can afford to pay the tax. Therefore
the tax is equitable and popular.
Therefore We say, make the reduction Of
revenue on foreign imports, and among
these on such articles as can DO cheapen-
ed at home, and release the people in that
dissection, aud keep the taxes Of the
interna! revenue, Of the character nance,
still in force. This is what the people
would say could they vote directly on the
question. ~ y 4
