reiuaks to lot gentlemen know (bat 1

or s5bri?ty.
Hut, sir, from the failure of the grain
crops in our Stato the last season, it
would l>? injudicious, imprudent and
unwiio itt ibis time to allow the distillation
of the cereal grains. With a perfect
failure of the wheat crop-all over tho I

into whb-ky would not only be unwise
mikI 1 in prudent, but H would be suicidal
is the extreme, and delriimmtal to our
whole community and our beet inler1?
our mountainous districts, the disr
liberies m<?l you at every turn, aud the
quantity of grain tbey daily conaoine
when in action is truly aalotU'ding.-At
tbe piesetit high and exorbitant
ptice that whisky in celling at, it is an
ittdtart nicnt,?ir, sufficient to atari every
distillery. 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. Soino
by chemical mixtures mako much more i
than that, lint, sir, let us assume <
three gallon*, and reason or argue from <
that. VVell, air, whisky is worth front i
fifteen to'twrerty dollars a gallon, which 1
would make a bushel of corn yield from i
forty five to aixty dollars in money from I
tho sal? of tho whisky. Ami now, air, i
a oxorbiiaut as that ntay appear, doe*
the profits of (It? sain? bushel of corn 1
ton there. No. air ; the awill or slop <
U the ireftj food for the raising of Ijogj. I
It baa always l>?cn granted by diatilloi*
thff if is a lucrative business if the liquor
distilled would defray tho expenses
of the distillery and giv? them thj? slop
or aw 111 clear for the raising of awin??* ?
that was lucrative Enough. Now, air, lot
us see what would, one hundred buahola
of cora yield in iaoney at this rato.?
ll would give us three hundred gallons <
of whisky, and that at fc2Q per gallon
won Id be id,OOO in money to one linn- j
deed hit*hell of corn, and ouo thousand i
bushels of corn ground and l?o?l?:d inu> <
will would raise 8.250 pound* of |K>rk. I
and that, sir, valued, or selling nl 00 I
cents .per pound, would give u* acme *
|U7?.- This added to 10,000, and wo
1 would hare $0,075, or, in oven nttin- i
beia, any $7,000, nnd 1 verily Ixdiove if, i
wdtihl be ntore; and this, sir. from ono 1
hundred hu<hels of corn. Now. air, I i
ask ; what price, then, cannot a distiller <
give, and yet make money at it 1 Fifty
dollars a bushel would.not be too high I
a price for hint to give and grow lich at. <
Now'j-ir.lel us f i*w the position,condition I

we should shrink from .110 dutyr flinch

traces of the handiwork of fair, gentle
