Fifteenth Congress Of the Bretvers' Asso-
. citation.
The Fifteenth Annual Congress of the
Brewers Association 'of the United
States was opened at Eureka Hall, cor
ner of Ninth and Walnut streets, at 10
O'Clock this morning. A large number
of delegates from all parts OF the Union
were present. Tie hall is beautifully
decorated with flowers and eyergrcens
from the nursery of Mr.. Herman Her.
lein, of Cumminsville.
The platform Tor the presiding officers
is tasteiully 0rnamented with two lars @
flags, and filed with the first growth OF
the most beautiful and sweet scented
flowers, which, altogether, gives the
place really beautiful appearance.
Among the many appropriate notices
which adorn the walls we noticed the
following:
"Drink no longer water but use wine
for the slomach's sake and thine other
lnfrhitles ."-TimoLhy v, 70.
Beer, in its composition, unites q
number OF substances by whicn the
fleet upon the nervous system is more
or less neutraliZed."
81 believe that the Germans are in
deed destined to be the greatest benefac-

given us their beer."-Df. Bowditch.
81 should make it easier to obtain beer
and render every encouragement IN the
cultivation of wine and hops."-Dr. w.
A. Hammond.
1T is a significant fact that in England
as well as in this country, the movement

in the almost immediate increase of the
consumption OF 0pium."-Dr. C.F. Oil

'Out with the word If In accordance
with truth, and down with the drink
when clear"
On account of the sudden illness of
Mr.. Henry Clausen, of New York, the
President of the Association. Mr.. Ii. III.
ltueter, oil Massachusetts, was elected
President pro TEN. Mr.. Rueter then
opened the meeting with a long but
eloquent speech, in which general re-
prospective view Of the foregoing Con-
crosses was taken. From it we Gull the
following statistics:
In 1873 500, S23 barrels of malt liquors
were brewed; for which the total receipts
were 50 3l4 937 "a. In 1874 $3.50, $40 bar
rels were brewed, for which the receipts
were $9, ,3O4,619 u.
In 1873 there were 8, ,554 breweries in ac-
tive operation. In 1874 the number was
reduced to 1924, or nearly thirty per
cent. The reduction in some of the
states was very large. In Michigan, for
INSTANCE, fl ON 202 to 6S;' Missouri, from
l3O to 81; New Jersey, from 81 to "a;
from 800 to 346; Wiscon-
sin, from 2S0 to pol; Indiana, from los to
o..
The total collection from Malt liquors,
from September LIST, 1862, to June 3Oth,
1874, amounted to VII ,5S4.4l7 81.
The total receipts OF the Internal Rev.
enue Department, from all sources, for
the fiscal years, ending June Both, 1873
and 1874, were in 1873, $l14, ,075, 456, and in
1874, $102, ,S44, 746. A significant fact re-
mains 10 be pointed out in connection
with these statements.
While thus the manufacture and con-
OF fermented liquors is de-
the revenue has increased for
the first six months OF the present fiscal
year $3, 928, ,992.
The speaker also recommended stead
fast and united action during the pres
ent Congress in debating essentials or
non-essentials. In local or
in individual grievances we should al
ways keep before us The motto, "In unity
there is strength"
