MILWAUKEE June 6.-The 18th annual con
ventior of the brewers of the United States
opened here today. President Ructter read the
address, among the features of which was a
proposition to ext ose every member guilty of
adulterating beer. There were 213 delegates,
among whom were Congressman Jones of New
Hampshire, Frederick Laner of Reading, Pa,
and Henry Claussen of New York, who were
chosen honorary presidents. A letter was read
from Commissioner of Revenue Raum, ex-
pressing pleasure at the Information that the
conduct of the bureau has been satisfactory to
the brewers and trusting that nothing would
occur to disturb the friendly relations. He re-
GREETED that he was unable to accept the invita-.
ton to attend.
Lewis S. Chade, attorney for the association,
presented some amendments to the revenue
laws, which the association will lay before Con-
gress. They wish to do away with the brew
ers special tax and bottling tax. The session

The Currency.

WASHINGTON, June The Treasury is now
paying out only large q. S notes for drafts
This is the beginning of movement to place
the United States treasury circulation upon
European footing with no small bills in exis-
tence, and with specie as medium for small
operations. The Bank of England and Bank
OF France seem to furnish the models followe
in this respect, the smallest note of the former
being five pounds, and of the latter fifty francs
This movement threatens the humiliation of
small bills in legal tender currency, and is part
OF the new financial policy. The purpose is to
get silver out in as large quantities as the treas
ury can supply, and to cause the people to pre-
fer small bank notes to large legal tenders
The Spanish Outrage,

ment fulfilled all its obligations to Spain.

ceive. no reason why they should
make Of themselves exceptions to
the general character. If Supreme
Judges, for the purpose Of promot-
ing their selfish desires, may swindle
the opposition party by giving unfair
decisions, and still retain their

Thus every influence flowing
from these wholesale denunciations
is evil, and all the more so because
they could not possibly be n ade
available for good. They tend to
intensity and embitter partizism
among partizans, to destroy respect
for our people among those of other
countries, and to demoralize society
by instilling the idea into the pub.
lie mind that those holding the
must honorable positions in our gov

More than this, they are untrue.

matter Of their charges for carrying
freights and passengers was involv-
ed. The Wisconsin and Illinois
suits were brought subsequently and
and under more recently enacted
laws. s.ss s 49,
Although Mr.. Blake was the
principal in the case, the credit of
bringing the suit is really due to
Rochester merchants generally and
a few Olmsted county farm ers, mas
much as these all joined in RESPONSE
bility for the costs and expenses, At
our suggestion, Mr.. Clough was en-
ployel as attorney in the case andwe
believe that he has followed it up to
its successful termination before the
highest tribunal known to our insti-
tutions. e........ .......--. ...t
Under the circumstances we feel
that we have right to congratulate
ourself, and to claim a very consider
able share of the credit and honor
of being instrumental in relieving
western farmers from oppression by
railroad monopolists, who maintain
ed their right to SO manage their
roads as to impoverish the country
for their own benefit.
To accomplish this, and the recog-
milton of the same principle as ap-
piled to other corporations and in
dividuals, was the entire purpose of
the Autobiography party originally.
Its founders had no desire to de-
stroy the republican party and far
less to reinstate the democracy.
They merely wanted to effect GER
tain changes reduce to practice
certain principles. Thus far, they
have been successful and, in a meas
ure, they owe their success to the
assistance of the masses of the de-
mocratic paryt; not to the leaders,
for the leaders of that organization
always opposed the anti-monopoly
movement. i ~. ~.
But in helping forward these re-
forms, the democrats did not lay the
anti-monopolists under obligation to
their party. What they did was as
much for their own advantage as
for that of the anti-monopolists; and
when they demanded Of the latter
that they should help them in re-
storing their party to power and
electing their leaders to Office, they
asked altogether too much. To the
majority of the Anti-monopolists
the democratic leaders were far
more Objectionable than the repub-
lican leaders, and justly SO, for they
were more violent and confirmed in
their opposition to the principles
advocated by the anti-monopolists.

An important Decision.

The United States Supreme Court
has decided recently that the legis-
latures Of Minnesota, Wisconsin
and illinois had the right to regulate
the railroad teriffs for carrying
freight and passengers; in order to
prevent extortion by the companies.
All the judges Of the court, except
Judge Field, concurred in this de-
cision. This is a decided triumph
for western farmers over the rail-
road corporations.
Seven years ago, when we public
ly announced this doctrine in the
Federal Union at Rochester in this
State, we called forth almost univer-
sal jeering and denunciation from
the press and legal fraternity. The
Pioneer and the Press, of St. Paul,
were especially severe in their criti-
cisms and the latter denounced us
and our doctrine in unmeasured
terms. On finding that we stood
lone, we appealed by letter to num-
Der Of legal gentlemen whom we re-
garded as personal friends requesting
them to give US their opinions. The
result was far from fattering. Most
of them intimated that we had CON-
mitted an egregious folly. Hon. R.
A. Jones, of Rochester, to whom we
appealed in person, was the only
one that gave us any encourage
ment, and he very decidedly, de-
clared that we were right and ex-
pressed his intention of standing BY
our declaration. Soon afterwards
VIM. P. Clough, young lawyer
then residing in Rochester, cheered
us with the intelligence that he, too,
believed we were right. -,.
Encouraged by these two friends,
we continued to advocate the doc
trine with increased earnestness.
The farming community generally
sided with us, and, hoping that we
were right, brought to bear such
powerful pressure upon the: legisla-
ture of 1871, that that body passed
a railroad tariff law, which was
known as "Dick Jones, law" 1t was
under that law that suit was brought
by J. D. Blake and others of Roch-
ester against the Winona and St.
Peter railroad company, and that is
the suit upon which, so far as Min
nesota is concerned, the Supreme
Court of the United States has lust
decided. And, moreover, that was
the first suit brought in this country,
in which this question, of the right
