PLAIN WORDS FROM A DISTILLER.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 13.-Presi-
dent Miller, of the Western Export
Association, whisky pool,) in an in.
terview says: "The distillers are
only running % per cent. of their
capacity, and only % per cent. is
put on the market, the remaining 3
per cent. being kept in bonded
warehouses. There 10 no demand
for the liquor, a state of affairs that
| never knew to exist i'm the past.
The temperance agitation has moth.
ing to do with it. 1t is hard times.
The brewers felt it first. The foreign
laborer, who largely drinks beer,
was the first to have his wages cut
down. He stopped drinking his
glass of beer, and the demand di-
minished. The Americans drink the
whisky. They were the last to have
their salaries reduced. When they
stop drinking the distillers appre-
ciate the fact. The distillers and
jobbers are all in favor of high
license, as are also the better class
of saloon men. 1t is now apparent
to all that the fight against the Scott
law in Ohio was mistake, although
it was precipitated by the brewers,
who, having started numerous sa-
looms to sell their beer, were obliged
by the Scott law to pay out large
SUMS to keep the places running. A
high license decreases the saloons.
improves their standing, and renders
it an easy task for the police to
watch them. A high license, coupled
with local option, is about the best
thing for all parties concerned.n

There was a little more life this
week in the flour and grain market
than usual, owing to the prepare
lions for war in Europe, and still
more activity in business is expected
Oh that account. A prolonged wal
between two such great powers as
England and Russia, would afford a
market and better prices for our pro-
ducts, not so much on account of the
demand itself, but because capitalists
would invest in anticipation of better
times and profitable returns. Such
u European war might do us good
in one direction and injury in anoth-
er. A vast amount of American
stock and securities is held by the
capitalist and brokers in Europe,
which are not likely to be carried
through the risks and fluctuations of
war times. If it is thrown on the
market prices will decline in this
country and the cause Of the present
hard times be repeated again.
