Millions in Whisky Taxes.


The uninitiated may think that the
tax on whisky, which has been in
creased 20 cents gallon in the senate
bill, is a severe blow to the whisky
trust. But the whisky interests do
not look at it that way. The whisky
trust now has in bond 100000 gal
Ions. 1t is allowed by the bill any
time within two months after the law
goes into force to withdraw the pro.
duct from bond without paying the
increased revenue. The trust is now
working at full capacity and is ex.
pected to have 100000 gallons in
stock within the limit named. The
saving on this product at 20 cents per
gallon will amount to u clean $4,000.
900. The trust will add to its selling
price the 90 cents of the increased
tax and escape paying the tax. The
government will not receive a dollar
extra of revenue, while the trust will
clear $2,OO0,OOO. But on whisky
which the trust thereafter places un-
der bond, the trust is allowed by the
bill bonded period of eight years in
which to pay the revenue. The re-
suit, therefore, will be that the gov
ernment will be short on revenue
from whisky for a number of years,
while the trust will make S2.OOO.000
at the start and get eight years time
in paying taxes OH its future product.
The eight years of time allowed in
paying taxes on future whisky under

EUGENE DEBS, PRESIDENT OF THE A. r. L.
is little brighter but the facts so far
as they can be obtained hardly bear
him out for the passenger service is
by no means in even fair shape and
freight traffic is paralyzed. The man
ayers of the roads so far affected are
plainly nervous for no one can tell
what will be the next move of the
strike directors.
In Kansas City the Santa Fe is send
ing out passenger trains, but the
freight service is completely para
lyzed. All Kansas City switchmen
! who belong to the A. r. L. have re-
ceived an order to strike at noon
Sunday, and if it is obeyed, as it
doubtless will be, the local situation
will become serious.
In Chicago the stock yards switch
men are all out and the business of
the yards and the packing houses is
completely paralyzed. The Rsck Is
land is tied up tightly to-day and the
Illinois Central is paralyzed worse
than ever Strikers have begun re-
sorting more or less to violence and
the general situation is more serious
than atany time since the boycott be-
gan.
In st. Louis, 1000 yardmen have
struck and only passenger trains are
being run with officials Of the roads in
charge The freight business on every
road in st. Louis and East St Louis is
at a standstill
On the Pacific coast there is not the
slightest improvement and on the
Northern Pacific the promised lifting
of the tie-up has not been ae-
complished.
From many points in the West and
Northwest come fresh reports OF
strikes and the outlook is generally
growing darker, particularly al
smaller towns before unaffected.
That the American Railway union
has more strength than had been sup
posed is now unquestioned, and where
it has been weak it has been materi
ally assisted by sympathizers in other
railroad orders, many of these latter
acting in direct defiance of theil
chiefs. Both sides are evidently pre-.
pairing for fresh moves. and the mex
day or two is likely to have sensation
al developments.

LEWELLING'S VIEWS.
The Governor Scores Pullman and the
Federal Courts.

The Governor scores Pullman ana the
Federal Courts.
TOPEKA. Kan. July 9.-GOveruOr
Lewelling gives his views of the
strike as follows:
LAS far as the Pullman COMPANY IS
concerned have no sympathy for it,
and, so far as | have observed. nobody
has who has ever been a victim of its
verocity. 1t is a parasite which lives
off the corporations and the travelling
public, and compels its porters to
pillage its patrons that they may
live. 1t seems to be the desire OF
the company that their porters should
derive their subsistence in that way
ut has been said that the railroad
companies have an interest in the
earnings of the Pullman cars. If
this be true these railroad companies
should be censured to a degree at
least.
Judge Caldwelrs order Or notice
or whatever it may be, that the men
may quit work, but must not commit
violence or prevent other men from
working, strikes me, as it must all
other practical men, as the correct
idea, but it does not deny the right of
men to strike or to prosOlyte and
exercise moral suaSiOn.
1T seems & little remarkable, how
ever. that the courts are always so
easily accessible to corporations, and
in the case before us it strikes me. as
it no doubt does other men, that the
courts advice given to the men in an
official way, in advance of any overt
act of violence or threat of violence, is
something unusual. 1t does not take
very observing man to notice that
the courts. in giving advice in the
cases of strikes, always seem to give
it in favor of the corporations and
never seek an opportunity to compel
the strikers in the matter of their
rights as against the corporations.
Intelligent and law-abiding citi-
zens cannot fail to view with alarm
the continued and persistent en-
, cfOacnment OF the courts in general
upon the other departments of gov
| eminent.
II observed recently, also, that an
opinion has emanated from the mill
tary department of the federal gov
ernment to the effect that United
States troops may be sent into any
state to suppress riots, or otherwise
maintain order, where the executive
of the state decl ines to do so, which
means in plain English, suppose,
that the present United States au-
thOrities are to interfere on behalf of
the corporations and in opposition to
the executive.
This opinion means, if it means
anything, that the states themselves
have no rights which are to be re-
srected by the federal authorities, and
| believe such doctrine to be danger
Gus in the extreme If this position is
to be maintained by the government
we will soon discover that we have
sOwn to the wind and are reaping the
whirlwind."

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, July 1.-The strike
of the American Railway union is on
here in all its force and traffic is rap
idly coming to standstill. The Ter
minal men struck last night and as a
result Of conferences held and orders
from headquarters the switehmen on
both sides of the river refused this
morning to handle any cars whatso-
ever and freight movement immedi-
ately stopped. Passenger traffic,
however, moved as usual, all trains
leaving ON time, not with the assist
ance of the striking American Rail
way union men, however, but with
the aid of the Terminal association
yardmaster and assistants, who had
never been allowed to join any labor
union.
The strikers at this point now num-
Der in the neighborhood of 1000 men.
These include the switchmen of the
Terminal association, 200 in number,
and also those in all the individual
railroad yards, between 1,5O0 and
1900 in number. As the strike be,

CHICAGO, July 2.-George NJ. Pull
man, president of the Pullman Palace
car company, who is now at his home
here said last night of the
great boycott: THE strike is
no longer fight against the
Pullman company alone. IL
has spread and grown beyond us until
now the Pullman strike is a subordin-
ate feature. The railroads are now
trying whether or not they have the
right to control their own roads and
manage their own property. While
the strike was confined to our COM
pany we at no time asked the rail
roads to assist us, and when, a few
days ago.. the general managers of
the great roads centering in Chicago
decided to oppose the American Rail-
way union they asked neither
advice nor assistance from
the Pullman company. 1t was
plainly, distinctly and decidedly their
fight, as was patent to everybody. In
reality this movement is demonstra-
ton of anarchy. Here are men
organized and banded together at
lacking and endeavoring to crush in
stitutions which are necessary and
are operated for the welfare and con-
venience of the general public. We
have done all that could be done-all
that we could do at least-for the
comfort and welfare of our employees.
As high wages were paid as could
possibly be afforded in these hard
times. So far as l can see, there was
nothing left undone for the good of
the men which it was in our power to
do"
Were the men employed at the
Pullman ear shops paid enough SC
that they could live without getting
into debt?'
That is something l do not care al
this time to discuss"
