TESTIMONY in our telegraphic columns
given before the House Committee on
the whisky trust, is commended to the
careful attention of Republicans who
claim that the proposition of their party
to take the tax off spirits would not
stimulate the production of the same and
cheaper the price thereof. The distiller
whose testimony is referred to, thinks it
would make whisky very plentiful and
cheap. He does not think it would
be any benefit to the trade as whole.
This is the sound position which the
Democratic party occupies on this sub
ject. Our opinion is that the paying of
the whisky tax is a purely voluntary
matter. Each man can abolish it for
himself when he approves of so doing.
Beverages are luxury, and as such
ought to bear large portion of the bur-
dens of Government. The Republican
policy of cheap whisky and dear blankets,
of free drinks and taxed salt is not a
sound one, and will not prove to be a
popular one.

rHE Republican bear garden yesterda,

The Republican bear garden yesterday
had features of interest which are quite
graphically portrayed in our local COL
umns. Some of the speeches were
worthy of a village debating club and the
ticket formulated has few elements OF
strength. Without exaggeration it may
be said that if the Democrats show lit
tie judgment in the selection of their
nominees they will sweep the county.
Their opponents have cleared the way
for winning ticket in very accommo-
dating manner. There were number
of aspirants for Office yesterday who
showed how easy it is for an unskillful
talker to defeat himself. The candidate
who never opens his mouth without put
ting his foot in it was well represented.
The ELUSIVE friendship of Gen. H. H
Boyce, together with his own fatal
gift of oratory, defeated Capt. Seamans,
while the Times was ''downed" by the
easy way in which the Convention
ignored its suggestion that the nomina-
tions should be deferred to later date
a very sensible suggestion, by the way,
for no nominations could have been
weaker than those made yesterday, while
time and reflection might have assured a
better ticket.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Although the House Committee on

saulsbury's Defense of the
Fisheries Treaty.
WHISKY TRUST INVESTIGATED
Bill for Bi-Metal Redemption Fund
Uncle Sans Confederate
War Claims.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD,
WASHINGTON, July Pin the Senate
Sherman gave notice that as soon as the
Sundry Civil Appropriation bill would be
disposed of he would insist on getting the
Fisheries Treaty out of the way, and he
hoped to do so early next week. The
Senate then proceeded to the considera-
ton OF the Fisheries Treaty in open
executive session, and was addressed by
Salisbury in favor of its ratification.
The Democratic Senators he said had not
opposed an open executive session from
any apprehension that a public discus
sion of the treaty would injure the Ad-
ministration or the Democratic party.
On the contrary, they believed full
understanding of it would commend it to
the favorable judgment of the country as
a wise and just settlement of the con-
troversy which had at times threat
ened the harmony and peace of the
whole country. The treaty, while secur-
ing to the United States valuable rights
and privileges hitherto denied, and
which no previous administration had
been able to secure, gave up no undis-
puted right or any privilege that could
be justly regarded as of the slightest
value.
At the close of Saulsbury's speech the
Fisheries treaty went over without action
and the Senate proceeded to the consid
Grafton OF the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill. The amendment to strike out the
item for Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, with the proviso that there
shall not be any increase in the number
of steam plate printing machines in that
bureau, was opposed by Blair and re-
| iected after some discussion.
Among the amendments reported and
agreed to were the following: Increas
ing the appropriation for the repairs oi
lighthouses, etc. :, from $780, 900 to $685..
600; increasing the appropriation for the
salaries of lighthouse keepers from $685.
600 to 100000; increasing the appropri
alton for lighting rivers, from $235 900 te
$3.50, 900; inserting the item of $4,000
for expenses of enforcing the Alien Con.
tract Labor laws; $450,000 for expenses
in collecting the revenue customs in
1889 in addition to the permanent ap
propriation 100000 for the survey and
relocation of the boundary lines between
the United States and Mexico west o.

Rppun,IcANs are practieing death bee

REPUBLICANS are practieing death bed
repentance at rapid pace just now. The
latest example of this sort is found in
Senator Palmer's proposition to redeem
bonds with hall silver and half gold. An
election close at hand is an excellent
persuader to people who want Office to be
good. There is probably another reason
in Senator Palmer's mind for offering
this proposition. The plan is in the
shape of sinking fund. He probably
wants to provide some way of sinking the
surplus out of sight in order to perpetuate
the pet Republican plan of maintaining
the old war tariff which fills the purses
of the many monopolies which that party
has brought into existence, and which in
turn bear filial love for the author o
their being.

GOLD AND SILVER.
Palmer's New Bill for a hi. VI eta lie
Redemption Fund.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Palmer
to-day introduced (by request) bill pro-
viding that the fund held for the re.
demption Of United States notes, shall be
composed of gold and silver. It provides
that the fund now held in gold coin OF
gold bullion in the treasury for the re-
demption of United States Treasury
notes, and that which may hereafter &C.
cumulate, shall hereafter be composed
half of gold and half of silver; namely,
one-half to be gold coin or gold bullion
and one-half silver bullion of standard
fineness equal in value to the gold half.
The Secretary of the Treasury is author
lied to purchase $5,000,O0O worth OF
silver bullion per month (said bullion to
be the product Of United States mines)
and have it prepared in ingots of suitable
form and weight for paying for it with
gold coin from the redemption fund. This
silver bullion shall be substituted in the
redemption fund for the gold coin with.
drawn therefrom. These purchases are
to continue until the present amount oi
gold coin and gold bullion in the redemp.
ton funds shall be reduced to $50,OO0,-
600. Any holder of United States notes
demanding their redemption shall be
paid half in gold coin and half with either
silver bullion or with standard silver dol.
lars. If paid with silver dollars, then
there shall be coined from the silver bull
lion in the redemption fund, enough bull
lion to produce the standard silver dollars
paid out. These shall be placed in the
general Treasury fund in place Of those
Withdrawn therefrom. When the normal
ratio Of silver to gold (about 15R to 16 Of
silver to one of gold) shall have been re-
stored, the silver bullion in the redemp.
ton fund shall be coined into standard
silver dollars, and half of the redemption
fund shall be held in standard silver dol

Under lnvestigatiOn.

Under InvestigatiOn.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-At a meeting
of the House Committee on Manufactures
to-day, Chairman Bacon announced that
the committee would proceed to the in
vestigation of the so-called Whisky
Trust, and called j. M. Atherton, OF
Louisville. The company's headquar-
ters, witness said. were located in Larne
county, Kentucky. 1t was not engaged
in distilling whisky, but in handling the
whisky OF number of firms who do a
distillery business in their own names.
Witness said most of the large distillers
of fine Kentucky whisky entered into an
agreement by which they bound them
selves to produce no whisky in the fiscal
year of 1888. The combined produc-
ton of these signers was estimated
at three and a half million dollars.
The agreement grew out of the fact
that there had been very large over
production of whisky. In order to pro-
tect the owners OF this whisky from the
effects of this over-production, an agree
ment to suspend operations from July /,
1887, to July 1, 1888, was entered into.
This agreement witness desired to say
was not in the nature of trust. There
was no consolidation of property, NO
merging of interests. Witness was asked
by Buchanan:
Excluding the internal revenue tax
what is the cost of gallon of whisky
laid down in the bonded warehouse?"
Witness-That depends upon a great
many factors which vary considerably
but assuming that corn sells for so cents
rye for so cents and malt for 80 cents q
bushel, a gallon of standard Bourbon
whisky, with interest on plant, would
cost say 80 cents; not including interest
on plant, about 90 to 27 cents.
Buchanan-What would be the effect
of requiring the tax to be paid when the
whisky is produced, this is abolishing the
bonded period?
Witness-It would substantially de.
stroy the manufacture of fine whiskies
because of the increased cost of whiskies
when they were fit for use, growing out
of the fact that every gallon that evapor
ated would be tax-paid gallon, and be-
cause of the heavy expense of carrying
the whisky for several years, insurance
etc. The amount OF money required in
the business would be so great that nc
distiller could do much unless he was q
millionaire. Such law would lead to
CoiuUluatloHs, anu rlcn combinations
would d absorb all.
W. H. Thomas, of Louisville, testified
that one of the reasons of the export ol
whisky to Europe was, he and others be-
lieved because Kentucky whisky was bet
ter than foreign compoundliquors and they
might make market for it in Europe.
Ninety per cent of the whisky exported
was owned by the wholesale dealers, and
he believed if they all united they could
build up a trade in Europe. He was not
in favor of the repeal of the tax for the
reason that every farmer with a stream
near his farm, would go into business
and ruin the distillers by production
With no tax, he believed there would be
ten times the amount consumed.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-28

THE HERALD has several times gone to
considerable trouble in its efforts to show
that the proposed reduction of the duty
on raisins by the Mills bill, from 2 cents
to / % cents pound, would work no
hardship to California grape growers
that, in fact, it is a matter of too trifiing
support of this theory it prints state
ments Of the large profits made by grape
growers. Now, half a cent pound on
raisins is, at five pounds of grapes to the
pound of raisins, equivalent to 21a cents
a pound, or $50 ton on grapes. In this
section $40 a ton is considered fair
price for Muscat grapes, and large guam
titles were sold last year at considerably
lower figures. If this reduction had been
proposed from the Republican side Of
the House, what cataract of famboy-
ant denunciatioii TSIii S;;id have been pp5aT-
ed Upon the would-be destroyers OF our
infant industries by "the journal which
started the Los Angeles BOOM"
Times.
The reduction of half cent a pound
on raisins is exactly $40 ton on staple
that sells for large sum of money, and
which is now protected to the extent OF
$40 ton. The HERALD has shown, by
the testimony of the two largest raisin
growers in California, the Messrs. Butler
and Blowers, that the reduction is not ex-
cessive. Both of these gentlemen say
they are satisfied with the duty as estab-
lished by the Mills bill. If they can
stand it without a grimace we see nc
good reason why the horticulturists Of
the Times should be greatly exercised at
the reduction.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 27.-The suit of B.
F. Pritchard against Mrs. Jennie X.
Reed, was tried in the Superior Court to-
day. Defendant is the wife of George
w. Reed, of this city, having been mar
ried to him at Pomona, where both
parties formerly lived. In June, B. F.
Pritchard came to San Jose and begun
suit to have her declared his legal wife,
asserting that they had been married
at San Diego in October, 1887. Mrs.
Reed testified that she was never mar
ried to the plaintiff, and her only rela-
tions with him were those of land agent
and client, he having assisted her in
locating some government land near San
Diego. Other testimony was given cor
roborating her statements. The affirma-
tive judgment asked by her in the cross
complaint was given, perpetually enjoin-
ing plaintiff from asserting such mar
riage.
