EXTERNAL taxes have not yielded the anticipated reyenue,7 is Secretary Carlisle's plaintive explana- tion of the continued deficit in the treasury How they could expect any thing else is a wonderl While the Wilson-Gorman bill raised the whisky tax from ninety cents to one dollar and twenty cents, it extended the bonded period from three years to eight, and was made applicable to all whisky in bond. Instead of making the whisky revenue one-third greater, as anticipated, it cut 1t oil en- tirely, for the new privilege was ac- cepted immediately by all distillers. There is enough whiskey now on the market, out of bond, to last several years; and the treasury will get no whisky revenue until it is all con sumed.
