THOROUGHBRED"
New-York, Oct 81, 1855.
The Republican position on that question Is
simply this that it is better to repeal any or oil vi
the internal revenue taxes, Of which the peopic
pay the whole than 10 repeal those duties on I'LL
ports which foreigners pay for the privilege CT COM
peting in our market with American workers. IL
this should be done it would take of the trlnihs
tax on whisl5ey, which its manufacturers now con-
slider their chief safeguard, since 1t gives them INC
whole power of the United States to hunt down
their troublesome rivals, the sinners Win
their small copper stills But If that tax should
be removed, making difference of about quar-
ter of cent on the wholesale price OF glass OF
whislsey the Republicans pledged to replace IL
with heavy taxes on retailers which would reduce
taxation in the different States. In other words
they would get the money out OF the United States
Treasury where it isn't wanted, and into the
State Treasures where it would be great re-
