tNhE ommlssloncr OF Agriculture, III his report
Z Tor the year 1865, speaks as follows
''Thcro can be no doubt of the general adultc-
ration OF all malt liquors. In England and other
countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and
an increasing vigilance practicod to detect and
punish such frauds, by system Of inspection of
all malt liquors manufactured before exposed to
sale, the practice is very common How much
more i'll this country, where there no laws on
the subject, and no officer tocarcfully analyze the
products of the brewery? Some years ago, Pro-
fessor Mapes, of New York analyZed the beer
from dozen different brewcrles, and all were
found adulterated with noxious substances. 1t is
said that the sale of drugs to brewers, is profit
able part OF the trade This is perfectly infamous.
Cocculus indicus, fish berry, nux vomca, (dog-
button, from which strychnine is obtaincd,) are
some of the delectable substances found in beerl
These are potent poisons, and the brewer found
using them should be drowned at once in one of
his own vats. The British Parliament passed n
law to prevent this nefarious business. The fol-
loving Is an extract: NO druggist, vendor of or
dealer in drugs or chemist, or any other person,
shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer
IN or retailer OF beer, knowing thom to be such,
or shall sell or deliver to any person account
or or i'll trust for, any such brewer, dealer,
taller, any liquor called by the name of sold for
coloring, from whatever material the Same may
than unground brown malt for the darkening the
color OF wOrts or beer, any molasees vitriol
honey, quassia, cocculus indicus, grains of para
disc, Guinea pepper, or opium. or any extract or
preparation Of molasses or any article or prepa-
ration to be used in worts or beer for or as sub
sttute for malt hope; and if any druggist shall
offend In any OF these particulars such prepara-
ton, &c, shall be forfeited, and may be seized by
any officer of excise, and the person so offending
shall forfeit fire hundred pounds
Under this law, very many druggists and brew
ers were brought to grief, and yet the practice
continues. Unless the American public are ready
to admit the immaculate purity and innocence Of
American brewers, they must be content, while
drinking their beer to cherish the belief that they
arc at the same time guzzling some narcotic poi
son or damaging medicine. In view of the uupre
cedented growth Of tho barley crop; of the great
increase OF the number of maltsters and brewers:
OF the vast unknown quantities of beer that are
drunk in every city and almost every town on the
continent; is the dictate of sound wisdom, that
the attention of Legislators should be called to
the subject OF the adultcration of malt liquors.
and severe penalties should be inflicted as pre-
ventive."
T. Judge for yourself! My Beer is pure.

Gland, LABOR AND MONEY"
There was a grand rally Of the working
masses in this city on last evening, at the
Court House, to hear the address Of Richard
Trevellick, and to inaugurate the movement
which IS TO sweep from place and power the
ehete parties Of the past, who have Iegislat-
ed for capital and against labor; Who have
robbed the people Of the lands which Al
mighty God gave them; who have made la
Dor term Synonymous with slavery; and
who are making odious the highest aim Of
the Creator-that BY labor all men shall eat
bread. At an early hour about Zoo work
ingmea s peared in the Courtroom, and
Robert Gilchriest was called 10 the chair, and
Alf. S. Kierolf Of the .Seatissi-on the Border,
made secretary.
Mr. Irevellick was introduced, and made
one OF bis famous "land, labor and money"
speeches, during which be was often loudly
applauded. Ii had foe effect We are
i've working people In 1861, we carried
this city over the know nothing party. with
George D. Prentice at its head. Mr. Kierolf
was Their the controller Of two columns, daily
in the y Htocrat here, and with il he mad to
battle three Of the leading papers Of the
city, but he did the work to the satisfaction
Of all present. He, 1t IA expected, will make
the race for the Legislature this fall, on the
labor platform aud the secret ballot.
Mr.. IreVelhek was heartily received. Be
ing a workingman, and like the rest of the
sons of toll, having no great amount Of
means, we made him comfortable financial
ly, and sent him on bis way.
