nut the protective tariff IS only one OF the
methods in which the nation IDEAS With this
traffic. The Ia ernal revenue system essrains
and restricts It's evils by heavy taxation. hot
only ~ intoxcants themselves but or every
wholesale aud retail dealer In them. Tlis
system exercises the most rigid supervision
and control OF the proiustion Of spirits, and
no citizen can enter upon the manufacture
without hrs. giving bond to the United States
to comply with TIE Law. IL taxes heavily
every gallon OF spirits produced for home
consumption before 1t can be put upon the
market. 1t taxes every dealer throughcut
the lard, and IL sends out numerous detec-
tives to see that these taxes are paid to the
uttermost farthing. By these methods tho
government has raised In the last quarter OF
= century, Including tar.n duties on intoxi-
cants, m amount In excess Of NO billions Of
