Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 January 1884 — The Bonded Whisky Bill Boomed. [ARTICLE]

The Bonded Whisky Bill Boomed.

The friends of the Bonded Whisky bill, says a Washington correspondent, fear that it has fallen into unfriendly hands by its reference to the Committee of Ways and Means, but, under the rules, no other committee has jurisdiction of bills relating to taxation. They have only faint hope, from the reputed temper of the committee toward it, that it will be reported to the House. But if it should come back with the indorsement of the Ways and Means Committee it would be met with fierce opposition by som e bf the strongest men in the House.
