WASHINGTON, Aug. l0.-The organ of
the Brewers Association of the United
States, published here, makes very sig
nifcant statement relative to the trial of
fourteen German restaurant keepers in
Worcester, Mass, which has just conclud-
ed, and these fourteen Germans, every one
Of them IN possession OF license for
which he has paid the United States Gov
ernment the sum of $50, have been fined
in Worcester, Mass, and sent to the House
of Correction for six months, and ordered
to find 81 900 bail not to violate the anti
beer law for one year, because they have
sold fermented liquors, Concerning these
arrests the Sentinel says
Massachusetts takes the fourth rank
in the manufacture of fermented liquors
among the States of the Union She is
only exceeded by New Y Iork, Pennsylvania
and Ohio She paid last year to the Fed
eral Government $3.50. $50 as tax on malt
liquors, and for the first nine months of
the present fiscal year she paid s474. .53l
against S4O4, ,599 for the same time last
year If she had been permitted to 60 on
up to the lst of July last she would, at the
same rate of increase, have paid no less
than S663, 94S beer tax into the treasury
Of the United States, sum equal
to the annual interest on 81 | ,666, 900 OF
our per cent bonds. All that will hence
forth be lost The Government of the
United States has received for every bar
rel of beer thus seized or destroyed the
sum of 81 The government officials have
continued to collect the Federal tax, and
thus indirectly encouraged the manufactu.
l 70 braal~ he lavx Tho
arises, what is the Federal Government
going to do in Massachusetts If it is
unlawful in Massachusetts to manufacture
and sell beer, the Government cannot
| legally collect any taxes, and the money
/ forced out of the brewers by the Fedora
officers must be returned to them. If i
! Is proper and just to ruin the manuiactu
rers and dealers of iermented liquors, anc
! to conhscate their hard earned property, i
must also be right to do the same with
! those engage in the manufacture and sal,
of whisky and tobacco and any other arti
Gle. If the Federal Government quietly
submits to be despoiled of its revenue il
Massachusetts, let it be deprived of tn,
