hay decide to substitute the Senate tariff

would be good politics to accept a

Joseph B. Greenhut Of Peoria, ILL.,,
resident of the Great Western whisky
Fust, was before the House committee
manufactures Tuesday, and made
bme interesting statements concerning
lie operations of the trust. The object
the trust, he said, was to secure
ltelligent cooperation in the distilling
usiness and not to corner the market or
bull prices. Eighty-one establish
lents, located in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Wisconsin and a few northern States are
the trust, and they produce 80 per
mt of all the alcohol made in this coun-
y. Mr.. Greenhut thought an import
nty on spirits unnecessary to enable
%stillers in this country to control the
pme market, in fact, the cheapness OF
rain and fuel here enabled distillers to
reduce a superior article at lower prices
ian any other country in the world.
