Mr. Speaker, 1 will prove t<> llie entire .MtifTactiou of thin Iloiue. ! if gout h'tu?n will give in? their ntten lion, that the net profits of ft btnhe! of ! corn distilled into whisky is so lucrn-* tfvo that many persons, nctunted bv sordid and selfish motives, would distill, even if women and children starved.? Every gentleman in this llou?c, noqtlair'.trd with tho distilling of coin, nill bear me witness-, and attest, that a bushel of corn distilled will make, by i any. common distiller, f.om two and a i half to, three gallons of whisky.
