CONFERENCE OF DISTILLERS WITH INTERNAL NEVANUL COMMISBIONER RAUM. Gen. Raum, Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue, has been In the clty for the past twoor three daye, making a personal examination of the work of collecting the revenue In thisdis- trlet. Yesterday afternoon hie held an finportant conferende with tho distillers in the privateoftice of Collector Harvey, There were present, In nddition to the Collcctor and Conunissioner,” Distlliers Miller, Fredoricks, Sawyer, Rush, Wachsmuth, 8hufeldt, Junker, Beardslee, Rice, Mucller, Lawrence, Dickenson, and Powell, and Revene Agent Miller, of Tows, ‘The conversa- tion was ‘somewhat of an Informal character, though the eutire conversation was reported by a stenugrapher, to be written out and trausmli- ted to the Cominlssloner st Washington, Af- ter Collector Harvey had fintroduced the distillers to the Commissioner, the latter atated that he had requested thelr presence for a fricudly conversation over matters con- verning the collection of the revenue on dis- tliled spirits, and would be pleased to hearany n‘l‘mullum that they might feel disposed to ofter, Ho had understood that the Chicago distillers complained that the system of Inspee- tion and gauglug of distilled spirits was more cigld fn this disteict than In others, and he would Hko to ascertain If they had any plan to offer whereby n uniform system could e hiad for the entirc country. Several of the distillers stated that the Gov- ernment olllcials were too severs in thclrn{atcm, and did not atlow the manufacturer of high- wines any margin to protect himself from the necessury losses incurred throwgh natural leak- e, absorption, ond evaporation, They stated :finl 1t was customary {n Cincinnatl to aliow this margin, and henee fnthat district there were no complalnts, s the distilicrs_thers did not sulfer tho losscs that were entalled here, Simon Powell thought that on alcohol and highwines destined for thc California market, thero should be o lberal margin atlowed to cover the losses conseaucnt upon the long trans- port and rough handling to which the goods were subjected. H, 11, Shufeldt believed that the only corrcet way to collect the tax was on the welght of the puckages—net welght of thespirits ntu tempera- ture of 60 degrees. Auother distilier suggested that the distillers should be nllowed to remdjust the gauge within twenty-four houra after the goods had left the wite-tubs and were placed in the honded ware- housc, aa o almost all cuscs balf u gallon on each barrel was lost by absorption aud leakage duriuz that e, All these questions were commented on ot full length by the distillers, and their views w,-cru atlentively lstened to by the Cominis- sloner, After the conferonce liad concluded, the Couunlssioner interrogated Collector Hurvey us to s views. The Iatter stated that [n” his opinlon the collection of the tax by weight was tlic most dircet and best in the long run. It oflered fewer opportunities for fraud, aml would eftectually do awny with tho crrors of the Gaugers, 08 it was o well-known favt that no two Uaugers colld go over o fifty-barrel lot and agree on the r.sult. The Commissioner stated to a TRIDONE re- portor that an his return to Washington he should eive the varlous suggestions o careful examination, and would recoinmend the adop- tlon of those which to him secmed advanta- geous Lo the collectlion of the revenue. The conlerence was a very harmonious one, and the best pussible feellng prevalled through- out the session. THE “COURIER.” TIIE INFANTILE DEMOCRATIO OROAN DISTRAINGD ON FORt RENT.
