that the sale Of beer in the United
States for the year ending April Both,
1885 from May, 1891, amounted to 49,

Ten years ago the total sales amounted

wonderful increase Of $3.50. 720 barrels

increase is attributed, lst, that malt
Iouors are rapidly taking the place of

mona influx OF Germnn immigrants.

The silver Question.


As the volume Of silver increases in
the commerce Of the United States,
its excess of exports increase in like
proportion. The conclusion is at least
probable that there is a greater de.
mand for silver from the rest OF the
world than the United States. That
the rest of the world wants silver, and
to such an extent that the demand
will naturally advance its price Is ap-
parent. The production of silver in the
United States in 1884 was $48, 800, 900.
Fifty per cent. of this amount we are
now losing by export. Making no al
lewances for the uses of silver
in the arts and manufactures,
the latter consuming about Sc, 900, OO0
annually, the remainder will barely
meet the requirements Of the Bland law.
The amount Of gold coin in the country
in 1878 was S135, 900, 600, of which
sos, 600 was owned by the United States
Treasury and national banks. The
country owned s542, ,000, 900 Of gold coin
on July l, 1885, one half of which was
held by the banks and the Treasury.
Looking at the phenomenal growth
and development Of this country, ii
appears absurd to argue that an addi-
ton of s24, ,000, 900 to our silver cur
rency will bring disaster upon our
country.
Mr.. Henry r. Genfel, a leading direc-
tor Of the Bank Of England and an able
financial authority, in answer to the
question: "What if the United States
should demonetize silver" says: 'Tt
would close every silver mine in Amer
lea, the price Of silver would fall
and as the price of silver fell
the trade exports of India to
Europe would be stimulated in competi-
tion with American exports, and thus
ii is really the price Of silver which de-
cides whether the wheat farmer in Da-
kota shall get remunerative price for
his wheat, and whether the cotton
planter in Texas shall be undersold in
the English markets by the Indian
ryot-"
1t is then apparent that greater dan
ger is to be feared from the demonetiza-
ton OF silver than from continuance of
the present olicy.-Midland Industrial

MIR. MUDGE's TROUBLE.
A complimentary Newspaper Mo-
tice Which Provoked some
Excitement.

Some years ago, when the writer was
a reporter, it devolved on him to write
for the same edition an account of the
Rev. Mr.. Nudge, the clergyman of the
| place, and description of new hog
killing machine that had just been put
in operation at the factory. Now what
made Rev. Mr.. Nudge mad. was this;
The inconsiderate compositor who made
up the FERNS, got the two accounts mix
ed up in frightful manner, and when
| it went TO press something like this was
the appalling result:
"Some Of Rev. Mr.. Mudge's friends
called on him yesterday, and, after a
brief consultation, the unsuspecting hog
was seized by the hind legs and slid
along the beam until it reached the hot
water tank. His friends explained the
object of the visit and presented him
with a gold-headed butcher, who grab
bed him by the tail and swung him
around, and in less than a minute the
carcass was in hot water. Therefore he
came forward and said there were times
when the feelings overpowered one and
for that reason he could not do more
tndn w atttulpt I'd tHaiih tuose dIuunu
him for the manner in which such an
animal was cut into fragments was as
tonishing. The doctor concluded his
remarks, the machine seized him, and In
less time than It takes to write II, the
hog was cut into fragments, and worked
into delicious sausages The occasion
will be remembered by the doctors
friends as one of the most pleasant of
their lives. The best pieces can be OBJ
tanned for seven cents pound, and we
are sure those who sat under his minis.
try will rejoice to hear that he has been
so handsomely treIted."
Madl Well, about nine o'clock that
morning the Office had been abandoned
by every man but the advertising clerk,
and he ascended to the roof, SO that he
could see the clergyman tearing around
down in the street with his congregation
all wearing the panoply Of war, and car.
rying stout cudgels and other
things. The next day we apologized,
but the doctor stopped his paper.-True

course, are those obtained by internal
revenue officers throughout the United
States.
There are about 25O0 brewers in
America, of which three quarters manu-
facture lager beer only. A number brew
both ale and lager, and about 200 brew
ale alone. Regarding ale and porter,
Bradstreet's, ito which publication we
are indebted for the figures ebove), has
the following to say: "Ale and porter
were made iD America as far back as
1920, but lager beer was not brewed until
1912, and twas probably eight years later
before it was manufactured to any
extent. Ale and porter contain slight
ly greater percentage OF alcohol than
beer, and notable on account Of the
large quantity of hops which they CON
tain. The consumption of ale in the
United States is small in proportion to
that of beer, and the demand for the
best grades is inconsiderable. This lat
ter fact is no doubt due to the high
price of XXX ale, in some cases
amounting to $l3 to SIS per barrel.
There is, however, plenty Of fine ale
brewed. Most of that made here is of q
pale and lively nature. Stock and still
ales are seldom brewed Porter is not
at all popular, hence the deficiency in its
quality. 1t is in the brewing of lager
beer that the trade has made great
strides. Lager has little more than 3
per cent. of alcohol, and though con
tanning an abundance of extract, is light,
bright and sparkling"
nha onIo.. T;s.1o haftauau that oil
bitter beers now made are pure. 1t
says: "fhe experience of 1882, when
the brewers paid SO heavily for their
hops, led them to introduce more science
into their processes of brewing,
but with the sole exception, per-
haps, OF an increased use of suga
or sucrose, which is by no
means an injurious substance, in the
place OF malt, there has been no change
for the worse in the manufacture. So
far as the bitter beers are concerned,
there never was time when an article OF
greater purity of manufacture and sin
cerity of ingredients slaked the thirst OF
the populace"
Bradstreet says that "these remarks
apply equally well to the American
trade" There are beer drinkers, how
ever, who do not agree with the Times,
or with Bradstreet's.
American brewers now export their
product to all parts Of the world, and it
is not uncommon to see Yankee Beer"

leo, Japan and the West Indies. Even
in England onr beer is being received
