At tho time when the Govornmont tnx was $2 per gallon, thore scomod to hava been not lesa ‘than farty dlatillerios {n operation, tho united products of which wero supposed to be duly re- ported at Now Orleans. Thest forty dlatillcrics represented uniggregnte cupneity of 1,000 bar rols per day, or au average of forty barrels cach, Allowing a deduction of 25 per cent, the agsTe- gate production would amount to 2,200 barrels, or an average of thirty barrels from each tll, ‘This representa 0 daily reventic from the whisky tux, in tho department, of $06,000, In this, how- ever, no tillowance fs mado for exportation to forcign ports,—the whisky so exported paying no tux, Onthe other band, the estimates are far lower than the facts, us claiined, wouldxoom to justify. Now, out of thls dally product of 1,200 barrels, ow mnuch is to be catenlited as huving been duly reported to tho Government? The Speolal Agent 1n question found tho ofleinis reporting an ayorage of two and ahilf barrols to the still, or 100 barrels ns tho total dually product. Asystom of fraudulent roturns, 1s claimed, thus withheld all report of 1,100 barrels of whisky por day. .A product representing, less exportation, adalty royenuo’ of $,00, thus showed up to the Government tho compuratlye= ‘ly Insiygniticant sun of $8,000 por day. ‘A SECOND METHOD OF PROCEDUIE was equally elfective, Through agency of tho ring, Consulur certificated were procured in Jurgo numbers from the Consular oftives of varl- ous foreign ports, Theso wore duly filled out, wave as to date of shipment,—the slimnaturo and seal, as woll’ as tho doeument ftsolt, “being yenulno and correct to the luttor, Suppose a casy of fraudulent sbipment of, sy, 2,0 barrols of whisky. ‘The shippers enll ut the ollice of tho United States Collector, and prosont an Unexceptlouable band tor, wo: will sily, tho Port of Tampico. ‘ho bund ts duly necépteds and the partios recelye tho shipplug permit in due form. ‘Tho 1,800 barruls of whisky ure thot actually loaded upon a sehooner nt tho wharf, and go roported, ‘The shipmontis thos comple in all ita dotalis, and of course so appears of record, ‘Iho guinea night the schooner drops down. tho stream and quietly unlonds the 1800 duerels of whisky, Wwileh has thus accomplished {ts Yoynyo, ‘Tho Consulur certificates next play their part in the gan.
