From the “Inland Revenue” re­ turns for the year ending June 80, 1884 we learn that the gross amount of excise for the Stratford division! fo which is bituate Goderich etc.,'for- the year was $43,855.04; expenses 55,- 854,21. * * ! ...? ... v The total receipts for excise dar­ ing the year were 16,141,750, chiefly from spirits and tobacco, a falling off of 10 per cent- as compared with last year. ‘ Thp quantity pf malt mtynrifactured in the Dominion for the year ending June 80, 1884 was 55,447,616 lbs as i against 85,216,222 in the preceding •year. That is nearly 1,000,000 . bushels lessof grain were malted last year than in 1883. It is quite pos- sible that this shortage waB owing to 'the Scptt Act agitation which has so seriously threatened the business of distillers and brewers. The quantity of Canadian spirits, exported was merely .‘nominal, only 5,107 gallons. There was a large increase in the consumption pf methylated spirits which has suggested to the»Commis- sioner that it maybe largely used in inferior .groggeries- in lieu of pure, spirits f< r making liquors to be con- .sumed as a beverage. And, adds the \jpmmissioeer : J!Thb,. conviction that this is being done calls for further • legislation for the protection of public health.’’ , It should also afford food for re­ flection fo.those -who are anxious to do away with the ‘licensing system. • AVithout-aTieensed-systernthoroisa -well founded suspiciomthat all 'man­ ner of" vile and poisontyus stuff will be compounded and soldin unlicensed and as a matter of "course “inferior groggeries,". to the serious detriment of public morals, public health and the public revenue.
