^raa.d More dourly Than Undrr lirpnhilran
•ale—Thr Illicit Truffle la Dlmlnlalilns In (he
Sssth-Urowth of thr Temperance Sentiment.
Washington, D. C., December 20.—
About the most surprised people in this
•ountry over the effects of tno election are
the “moonshiners,” or illicit distillers of
the southern Btatcs. They are most of
them ignorant sort of people, and many of
them believed the arrests and punishment
to which they were subjected under re
publican rule were mere acts of partisan
Oppression. This class believed that when
they got an administration of their own
party they would not be further molested.
To their suprise, however, they find that
the new broom sweeps cleaner thnn the
Old one. and that instead of being permit
ted to carry on their illicit distilling with
out molestation, they are held up to the
law a good deal more rigidly than ever.
To say that they are astonished
tells it hut faintly. They And that
the arrests do not stop, but that
they are increased greatly, and that illicit
distilling is much more difficult and dan
gerous than ever before. The lesson is
proving a valuable one to them, too, for it
h setting them to thinking and giving
them to understand that it is the law thut
Was and is troubling them, and not any
« srsonal feeling on the part of the officers.
hose who are studying the matter believe
that the result will be to break up the sys
tem of illicit distillin, pretty much all
over the south. I was talking with Col
lector llillsman, of the western Tennessee
district about this. His district includes a
considerable part of the mountain country
of Tennessee, for it covers a very large
part of the state, the eastern district hav
ing only a few mountain counties on the
extreme end of the state.
He tells me lie has broken up hundreds
of illicit distillers since he assumed charge
of the district. “I had pretty hard work
at first about it,” lie said. “The illiet dis
tillers were mountaineers mostly, not con
versant with tiie law or the condition of
the revenue laws, and they thought, many
of them, that the treatment they received
before had been oppression. They thought,
a good many of them, thut when the
Was a change in the polities of the admin
istration they would have no more
trouble.”
'“•‘It was quite a surprise to them, was it
not, to find that the law was still rigidly
administered.”
“Very much of a surpriso. I wont out
among them us much us I could and talk-
ad with them personally, showing them
what my duty wuh and wiiat theirs was
too. A good many of them quietly gave
np when lliey saw tile situation, though of
course they were greatly surprised to know
that the change did not help them any.
Others, however, continued, and the re
sult has been that we have broken up sev
eral hundred stills in my district that were
operating without license and paying no
tax.”
“Have you found it necessary to sacri
fice much life in making hundreds of ar
rests?”
“None. I think the shooting and wai-
fhre that accompanied the arrests of moo:.-
shiners in former years were unnecessary
in a great degree.”
“ llow do you manage to keep track of
these distillers and knowing whether they
are running and whore they are located V”
“We divide the districts up into a dozen
divisions and put a deputy collector in
charge of each. They keep track of the
condition of affairs in their section as well
as they can by traveling around and doing
a sort'of detective work. When they hear
of anybody that is running a little distil
lery without paying the tax they notify
the collector, and a couple of officers are
detailed to help them capture the still,
and capture the offenders, if possible.
Sometimes two or t.lir e of these inspect
ors arc sent together to help arrest one
man or a party of men. In this way we
are getting them pretty well cleaned up
now. Of eoursu many of them set in
again oa soon us they got a chance, but I
think oil the whole that the number of
those who t ry it is being greatly reduced.”
“How large are the stills that are run
in this way without paying tax?”
“Oh, little follows generally, distilling
from live to ten gallons a day.”
“What do they do witli their whbky
when they get it made?”
"Sell it slyly, ns they make it.”
“What do they make it of?”
“Corn, generally. There is little rye or
bourbon whisky made by this eluss of dis
lillers.”
“How about the fruit brandy makers?”
“They give us a great deal of trouble.
They make but very little spices. So little
that it does not pay to keep a gauger to
Watch them us we do with all legitimate
grain distillers. So we have to tako the
word of the men who make fruit brandy
for the amount they make.”
“Do you call a the same per gallon on
fruit brandy Unit you do on other spirits?”
“Yes, just the same per gallon. Ninety
cents per gallon. Hut it is very iiurd to gait
that. As I said, they make so little that
we can’t keep officers to wall'll the distil
lers as we ilo with the grain distillers, and
the result is that wo have to tako then
word for it generally. We compel them
to keep a record of their work, the amount
of fruit bought or used and the umouiit of
brandy produced.”
“But what if they don’t do that?”
“Wo can then proceed against them the
same os against the other distillers. If we
have reason to believe that they are not
playing fair we can overhaul them at any
time, destroying theirdistilling machinery
and make them pay up or go to the peni
tentiary the same us other illicit distillers.
But I have no doubt a good many of them
escape punishment or payment of tax on
what they muke, for, as 1 said, we have lit
tle on which to keep any restraint over
them.”
“But you say that illicit distilling is
growing less in tile south?”
“Undoubtedly.”
“Because of the vigilance of the new
officials?”
“Partly that and partly because of the
growing sentiment against the use of dis
tilled spirits. The temperance sentiment
is taking deep root in tlio south, and be
tween thut and the determined opposition
to it on the part of t lie new officials, wno
are of the same political party with most
of the distillers, they are gradually giving
it up. I think the days of moonshiners are
pretty Well past in most of ilie southern
states. Of course there is more or less of
it, especially in the mountain districts,
where il is difficult to prevent it, but be
tween the temperance sentiment, the
growth of intelligence, anil the better
understanding of the laws, and the dispo
sition to enforce them without respect to
person or party, there is a general disposi
tion to give it up as a bad job.”
