Among the opponents of the bill to extend
the bonded period for distilled spiritS-the
ultimate effect of which. we have seen it stated
would be to give the whiskev manufacturers
$4,000, 000-Was Senator Hale, of Maine. In
the course of his remarks he said he believed
this demand of the distillers has its root and
substance in the determination to press Con
gresS at the next session for decrease and
partial repeal of the tax on this product. and
that all the whisky in bond shall have the ben
eft Of that rcduction.' And of the successive
and successful appeals of this interest to Con-
gres> he said:
1t is worth something to see the course of
legislation which has been pursued favoring
this interest. Other interests are given the 90
by; other interests knock at the door of Con-
gress for relief and are rudely hustled aside or
their bills are smOthered on the files of com
mittces and they never gain headWay or lodg-
ment here upon our docket; or if placed upon
the Calendar are put aside; but steadily since
1873 the Whskey interest has devoted itself
early and late to the gaining of special legisla-
ton in its own behalf. 1t has ridden rough
shod over the claims of other interests; and be-
cause it has been able by repeated concessions
which Congress has yielded to it to increase
its capital and to increase its risk, it has been
able year by year to make more and more of a
pressure upon Congress.
