HIGH COST OF WHiSKEY.

Ii is contended that whiskey con.
tanned in the wine cellars and which
has received the stamp Of the rev
enue officers, can be used BY the IL
quor dispensers, but this supply !
only sufficient to last the country
from six months to one year All
liquor that has net received such a
release is still in bond and cannot be
opened. Instead OF prohibiting the
sale of whskey this will increase It's
sale for the time being, and with the
increased tax, whiskey drinkers will
have to pay an exorbitant price for
their supplies II on the other hand
it is claimed whiskey drinRer Is

cause of its high cost he will drink
beer or wine, and drink it in such
quantities that the same physical eff
