THE EFFECT
Oftne Decision ofthe Scott Liquor Law
on the Coming Election In ohio.

on lne
WASHINGTON. June 29.-John G. Thomp-
son. being asked what effect the decision
of the Ohio Supreme Court, declaring the
Scott liquor law constitutional, would have
upon the coming October election in Ohio,
said: The Scott law lisa Republican meas
ure, and the deciding it to be constitution
al will give the Republicans trouble in the
campaign. You see, it is the application
OF the law that renders it so obnoxious to
the people. For instance, u man who does
a small business has to pay just as much
as q man who does big business. Now,
take
Large saloon Keeper
in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, or any Of
the large cities, and he pays only $500 per
annum. The receipts may be 5000, 5000 or
$500 per day, and he pays no more than
the man in the little country village
whose receipts may not be more than s. or
$40 per day. There are great many sa-
looms in the large cities and towns that do
a very small business. Their receipts will
not average more than $50 per day, and
this class of saloons is largely in the ma
jority. Now, it doesn't seem fair that
they should be compelled to
Pay as Much for the Privilege
as the man whose receipts are 10 or 20
times as large
What amount per annum does the law
provide shall be paid for license?'
where q saloon keeper sells all kinds Of
liquors, beer and ale included, 5000; where
he sells beer and ale only, $780,"
May not the Republicans be able to
make a good showing for the law by eX.
planning that il will put a very large
smOUnt Of money in the treasury, and
thereby reduce the farmers taxes
"Oh, yes: have no doubt but that they
will set up a tabulated statement giving
the exact amount Of money il will put in
the treasury, but they will not be able to
| convince the German element that is the
proper thing. don't think the Republi-
cans can say or DO anything in favor of the
law that will be satisfactory TO the people
of Ohio

The increase i'm the Liabilities

of last year is attributable largely to, the
speculative failures in the West, but even
deducting the Indebtedness springing from
this cause, rs in the case in failures and in
liabilities is very marked. 1t is noticea-
Bile, however, that during the second quar-
ter of the year mercantile disasters were
much less than in the first quarter, in
which the bulk of the increase occurs, 50
that it is possible the worst part OF the
year has been got over. Reports as to the
business outlook from ninety-seven trade
centers indicate more hopeful feeling
