key in bond one year only, previous to

key claim that more time is needed, and
are at Washington in strong force, asking
Congress to extend it; and it seems quite
likely that their request will be granted,
but not in time, the distillers think, to.
afford the required relief, unless passed as
en Independent- measure, separate from
the general bill -codifying the present
system of Internal Revenue laws. This
is what the Committee of Ways and
Means are not likely to recommend: their
experience In the copper, wool and other
independent bills leading them to look
with disfavor upon what Is termed here
"piecemeal legislation ;" it having been
found that when a single interest gets
relief by an independent measure, Its
friends at once become indifferent to the
needs of others, if not absolutely antago
nistic. The distillers allege that unless
they have immediate relief, large amounts
of whiskey must be forced upon the mar
ket at ruinous rates, and without proper
age, before the first of February.

and was merely a figment -of-'a vivid
