or two the liquor is returned to this coun-
try. The cause Of this is that when whisky
has been stored in a United States bonded
for eight years. 1t must be taken
out or the manufacturers are subjected TO
the internal revenue tax OF LILO PER gal Oh.
Rather than pay the tax and lose Vhe
use of the money until the goods are sc'd
the owners prefer to take the stock across
the water and store it there until needed.
II has been found that freight both ways
and the cost of storage is far less than the
revenue tax. This tax is only paid when
he goods are taken out TO be placed on the
narke tfor consumption. and when shipped
