rttly democrat ilOWTO KKrLKMsinHETKK.VSLT.V. David A We!U has submitted to Secre tary CarlUle, a long report in answer to his request for an opinion as to the expediency, from i strictly revenue point of view, of maintaining or changing the pressnt internal reveoui taxes on distilled f j)irit malt liquor and toLaco.' Mr Well's conclusion follow: The wisest fical policy for the federal government, certainly for the Immediate future, would seem to be to impose the maximum rates of taxation on distilled spirits, fermented liquors and tobacco, that will not create, In face cf efficient admlnis -tration and severe penaiiie, undue temp tations for tevenue evasions. In the case ot distilled splrhs, on .which the existing rate, under the moat favorable conditions of production is always In excesa of 3o per . cent on their first cost, or taxable unit, this line seems to have been absolutely ignored, but as the experience ot recent years shows that the revenue from this source is increas ing in a ratio equal or in excess of the In crease of population, and that the amount of illicit product la comparatively small, any cnange In the present tax would seem clear ly luexpedient. 'On the other hand, In the case of fer mented liquors and tobacco, the existing taxes are far Delow the safe Una of exped iency, and might be advanced 1 e, to the extent of $1 to ihlrtv-one gallons or one fifth of a cent on a half pint, In respect to the former, and In the latter, at least to the rates imposed in 1892, with great advantage to our national revenue and to a greater simplification of our whole fiscal system. Certainly, if additional revenues to meet present existing and extraordinary require ments for expenditures are needed. It would be difficult to show where an Immediate annual increment with a certain large an nual Increase of the same In the future ould be obtained with less expeme and popular friction than by (he tax modifica tions suggested. "The existing customs duties on the Im ports of spirits, fermented liquors and to baccoare exceedingly high and absurdly disproportionate to the corresponding in ternal revenue taxes on the same, ana can undoubtedly be modified to some extent to the advantage of the revenue. Thus on imported spirits, the duties are $2 per proof gallon and the internal revenue tax 90 cents ; on fermented liquor the relative rates are 20 cents and 3 2-6 cents per gallon; and on puff, chewing and smoking tobacco 20 and 40 cents and C cents respectively. In the United Kingdcm, where the productivity of taxes has been carefully studied, the cus toms duties exceed the excise (internal revenue) taxes upon beer 6d (12 cents) on 6 gallons, and upon spirits by d (8 cent) per proof gallon. ' One effect of the maintenance of our excessively high du'-les on Imported spirits it that a greater opportunity is offered to combinations (trusts; of domestic producers ti advance tbe price to domtiiic cousumers; and another Is that they encourage the do mettic manufacture, from cheaper material of Imltitlons ol foreign spirits, v hereby the American consumer Is induced to use a spurious in place of the genuine article, and the government Is defrauded of the differ ence In the relative taxation, and this Amount is believed to be very considerable. Mr Wells estimates that by the changes he proposes the Internal revenue from fer mented liquors would be Increised from $32,000,000 to $64,000,000, and from to bacco from $3.1,000,000 to $60,000,000; also that the customs revenues from Im ported spirit, wines and fceer would be Increased from f) ,000,003 to $10,000,000, and from tobacco from $13,000,000 to $iV 010,000. The aggregate receipts from In tornal revenue taxes and customs duties on t'-iese comtnoJlties, he estimates would be Increased from $181,000,000 to $245,000, "It Is thctefore obvious," he aayi, "that from taxes judiciously imposed on only three Commodities or branches of industry, the Federal Government can at the j -resent time certainly, economically, and with lets burden and disturbar.ee to its people thin by any other form of levy, co'lect an an nual revenue sufficient to defray all of its ordinary expenditure, including interest on all Us debts, acd have In addition an an nual surplus of near $50,000,000, leaving Its total revenue from other sources-! e Import duties, less those collected from spirits, beer and tobatcv an J receipt from permanent miscellaneous sourcfi (aggregating about $9,000,000 available for the payment of pensions anJ for otiier pur poses.'

There are scores of oihir speeches rr.aJe by Senators and congressmen where this same table wai used and accepted by a'l as being correct. The tabulated siaiemen was prepared at the treasury department Augmt ifi I893. Senator Peffer, the pop ulist senator, In a speech delivered August 27. (ice page 72a Cong.
