IRISH WHISKEY IN PARLIAMENT.

In the House of Commons March g. on the
Budget debates. Major j. Eustace Jameson mem
her of Parliament from Ireland, in moving his
amendment that the additional duty should be 4d
instead of Cd whiskey, said that some remarks
fell from the Chancellor of the Exchequer when
speaking the subject, and also from the
honorable member for Northampton, which are
hardly correct. The Chancellor stated that large
businesses like Guinness and The Dublin Distilers
Company. Ltd could very well bear additional
taxation. That is not SO. with the present re-
duced condition OF agriculture. The whiskey pro-
dueed In Ireland Is made OF barley grown in Ire
land, and when they added to the whiskey tax
they placed tax the agricultural industry OF
the country. The honorable member for North
ampton stated that tea more heavily taxed
than whskey. That is He forgets that one
pound OF tea would make good many gallons OF
tea particularly If the honorable member for
North Belfast brewing it, that very far
from tea paying twenty times more than whiskey
as a matter of fact tea would pay twenty times
less than whiskey with the present taxation
