TAXES ON PRO-
DUCTION sometimes
raise revenue and some
times do not, but they
always discourage pro-
duction. The produc-
ton tax paid on Mary
land whiskey in the
first month under the
2Hc per gallon rate
June, 1887 amounted
to $34,864.50. In Octo-
Der, 1893, it had sunk to
$11, 664. 65. Why? Be-
cause the distillers, the
biggest of whom have
plants in other States,
were simply making
whiskey elsewhere to
escape paying a tax
amounting to a large
portion of their profit,
and, incidentally buying
supplies and hiring
labor outside of Mary
land.
