The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-12

We recognize the full force of this
objection. It is the strongest one by
odds that can be urged against the
system. But has our friend really
considered just the relation which the
government sustains to the traffic
under the present system? In the
first place 1t derives a revenue from
the manufacturer, in return for which
it has granted greater special priv
leges than were ever before granted
to any class of men upon this conti-
nent. We have already shown in
past numbers what these privileges
are and the immense financial bene-
fits resulting from them. Besides
this, every wholesale and retail dealer
in the land pays a tax to the United
States government for the privilege
of engaging in the traffic, and this
tax is accepted from men who pro-
pose to engage in the business IN
prohibition states in defiance of law.
The tax stamp, which amounts to a
license 80 far as the general govern
ment is concerned, is issued to these
law-breskers, thus rendering the gov
ernment particepS crimiois in the
violation Of state laws. But this is
not all. In most of the states the
traffic Is licensed by the courts under
authority of state laws, Dealers then
become the legally constituted agents
of the state and the government for
the transaction of this business; and,
as the principal is always responsible
for the acts of the agent, the state
and the government to-day are re-
sponslble for all the evils growing out
of the traffic under the present sys-
tenn. We as K our correspondent
which is the more distasteful to him
that the government and the state
be directly responsible for the evils
of the present system as conducted
by irresponsible agents, or that they
assume absolute control of the busi-
ness and at once eliminate its most
Objectionable features9
With regard to the increase of con-
sumption under the nstionslistic sys-
tenn, we are not entirely in the dark.
Aside from theoretical reasons for the
rejection of such a conclusion by the
abolition of the attractions of the
modern saloon, the abolition of the
custom of treating, the removal of
the pecunlsry incentive to sell, and
many other things that might be
mentioned, we have the experience
gained in the Gottenburg system
which verifes the theories upon the
subject by the positive testimony of
fact. At Gottenburg the traffic Is
entirely in the hands of the commu-
nifty, and is conducted practically
upon the plan which we propose, ex-
cept that small profit is allowed
which is used to reduce taxation. The
universal testimony derived from
every source relative to the effect of

SATISFAC GLORY TEST.

New York, June 27.-The official test
Of the segmental wire gun now in prog
ress at Sandy Hook before the ordnance
board, has SO far been exceedingly salts
factory. So far a suitable powder has
not been obtained. On Thursday the
most remarkable record was made by
snckeless powder at Sandy Hook that
has ever been made anywhere. A charge
of 2 pounds 3 IL ounces with Ii LIZ
pounds of shot gave the enormous veloci-
ty of 2,230 feet per second at 125 feet
from the muzzle, with a pressure of &c,
$40 pounds per square inch. This is
not only some 800 feet per second great
er than has ever before been obtained
from the gun, but considering the length
of the gun, viz: 26 caliber, is beyond
any question the most wonderful record
ever made by any gun or powder in The
world.
