preston, and with removal OF that depression
would be likely TO exhibit the increase which
has not appeared for some years past, and which
the gain In population during those years would
warrant.
A different state Of facts appears with regard
to the tax on spirits. The increase OF this tax,
according to the testimony Of competent Treas
ury officials. has resulted in extensive evasion,
Illicit distilllng and actual loss Of revenue. The
receipts for the calendar year 1895 were So
100000 less. and in 1896 $10,O0.0O0 less than
in 1894. Increase I'm this item might also be cx-
pected with n return OF prosperity. II the tax
were restored to the old rate which. according
to experience Of many years. appears to be the
rate yielding n higher actual revenue to the
Government than any other yet tried. But all
experience in changes Of internal taxation goes
to sustain the view that such taxes form much
more uncertain and untrustworthy source OF
revenue than the duties on imported articles,
and thus tends to strengthen confidence In the
Republican policy as the soundest and safest.
Democratic alterations have only lessened reve-
nue.. while causing the Government greater ex-
pense in the prevention. detection and prOsecu-
