WILL DECREASE REVENUES.
Proposed Exemption From Tax of
Alcohol Used I'm the Arts.

Alcohol Used In the Arts.
The question of raising more revenue
from customs duties is liable to come I'D in
congress again if Senator Platt's alcohol
committee is as successful as he expects it
to be. Senator Plat of Connecticut Is
chairman of the special joint committee of
Congress appointed to investigate the uues-
ton of alcohol used in the arts and manu-
features for the purpose of determining If
it is possible to carry out the law relieving
alcohol so used from taxation. The law
was never put into operation because Sec
rotary Carlisle said that 1t was impossible
Tor the department to formulate regula-
lions by which a discrimination could be
made between that used in the arts, etc.
and that used over the bar or elsewhere
Whatever there may have been in this con-
tention one very sufficient reason for
avoiding free alcohol in the arts if possible
was found in the ShOrtness of revenue dur-
ing the Cleveland administration
The joint committee of congress appoint-
ed 10 look into the matter. which has from
tlme TO time been holding hearings. is now
meeting in New York The latest jnforma
ton is that they will probably he able to
report to Congress at the approaching ses-
SION that regulations can be made by which
the exemption can be put into operation
without increasing the danger of fraud and
the assumption is that Congress will enact
whatever legislation the committee may
recommend to put into force the exemption
law law. me result OF such legislation will be
tnat the government will lose very heavily
OF its internal revenue. though frauds be
very carefully and successfully guarded
against A great deal more alcohol is used
in the arts and manufactures than is used
In any other way. 1t Is calculated, there
fore, that this branch Of the internal reye-
nue. Will be cut down more than half.
while the Dingley tariff act Is expected to
produce much mere revenue hereafter than
II mas this year, 1t was not Constructed
with any calculation for such a loss of in
ternal revenue as will be involved in the
proposition of free alcohol Consequently
1t will probably be found necessary to So
cure an income from some other source to
make up for the loss if the joint committee
report a plan for free alcohol.
