[From the Toledo Bee.I
The Beer Business in the
Toledo District.
How the Government Tax is
Collected.
FIGURES SHOWING THE EXTENT
OF BEER DRINKING.
Profits OF the Brewers and the Re.
tailers-The Rebate Geven to the
Saloonists.

Beer is a great institution, truly. In
this internal revenue district il fur
nishes more than half the total taxes
collected, including those on spirits,
cigars, tobacco, special taxes on recti
fiers and assessments for delays and
shortage on spirits.
The internal revenue district, in
charge of Collector George P. Waldorf,
with head Offices in Toledo, Is COM
posed of 26 counties in the northwest
ern portion of Ohio, the most easterly
being Erie and Huron and the most
southerly Champaign and Miami.
Within it there are 81 breweries, de-
crease of one within the year, that of
Frank Stang at Sandusky having been
burned out about six months ago.
Toledo has five breweries, three of them
being of large capacity. These five
pay large proportion of the tax COL
lected on beer in this district.
The beer tax is collected by means of
stamps issued by the government and
affixed to the package when the beer
is put up in packages ready for sale. A
barrel requires ST. stamp; or half bar
rel 50-cent stamp, and aquarter, keg
25-cent stamp. The brewers buy the
stamps at the internal revenue Office
ofthe district to suit their convenience,
and are allowed discount OF II per
cent; so that the cost to them is 924
cents per barrel on their output.
During the l2 months ending with
last October, as compared with the for
mer IL months, the taxes paid on beer

his profit to $3.50, or very nearly 100
per cent. on his investment. At tht Sc
proportions on 418.435 barrels sold
during the 12 months ending with Oc-
tober last the government got, as stat
ed, 1887, ,052.41; the brewers got $2,301, :
392.50; the retailers got (using the
mean between 40 cents and $3.50,
about 81, ,443, 900; and the consumers
cot, what?-well, many of them got
full; some Of them got into trouble;
and none of them got anything beyond
temporary qualification of appetite.
1t is estimated that, at the present
price of material, the cost of produo-
ing barrel Of beer, including pay
ment for the stamp, is $1.75. Cslcu-
lating the other expenses at ST. per
barrel the brewer thus obtains a net
profit of 3.25 per barrel, which is we'll
within the mark. The actual profits
to the brewers Of this district for the
past II months was therefore at least

THERE WAS GREAT JOY!
Enthusiastic Demmies Join in
a Love Feast,
And Show Thanks for the Glorious
Victory Accorded Them.

A very cold day was Saturday, but the
weather could not prevent Henry county's
loyal Democracy from assembling in mass
meeting and testifying in language that left
no room to doubt sincerity, their great
thanks and exultation over the victory
achieved at the late election.
Early in the day the city was filed with
crowds and enthusiasm, nor did either wane
in the least until late at night.
Delegations from many of the townships
came in bodies and each was given rous-
ing reception. Freedom township, a section
that has but twenty three Republicans, and
they think of migrating, made fine exhibi-
ton, having band, colors flying and long
line of teams containing substantial farmers
with their families.
DECORATIONS.
To properly receive the vast influx of peo-
pie, our business men and citizens respond

proval of the great mass of people.
The festive horn, the ex uItant horn, the
expressive horn, played its leading part all
day in the hands of hundreds operated by
as many stout lungs, but the great interest
centeredin the parade which formed in the
afternoon and marched through the princi.
pal streets. Hundreds were in line with
horns, flags, banners and comical make-ups
while the Napoleon, Okolona and Freedom
township bands furnished merry music
Added to this, great circular saws mounted
on wagons and belabored with hammers
the uproar produced bordered on sublimity
and accomplished its objects to a queen't
taste, viz: in giving vent to hilarity caused
by victory, and at the same time rubbing
defeat more thoroughly in the hides of GU
Republican neighbors. And in touching
this latter object mp witha more artistic fin
ish, appropriate inscriptions on banners
added not little.
IN THE EVENING
The heavens were ablaze with lurid gIar
of lights from bonfres and pyrotechnic dis
plays. Japanese lanterns spanned tn
streets, decorated buildings and residence
and were car ried by hundreds in the parade
A monstrous hollow sycamore log wa
rolled into the public square and filed wit

Anvils, musketry, frecrackers, Roma

BRUTAL!
A Vicious Attack Made on Fred.
Shillinger by George Stickley.

George Stickley last Saturday drank a
goodly portion of red liquor and soon all the
cowardly traits of his disposition were on
top and looking for business.
He had had some trouble with Fred Schel-
linger, young cigar maker, and it was not
long before Georges befuddled vision saw
in young Schillinger the proper person on
whom to work down his appetite in fight
ing line. He therefore set out in search and
soon ran on to his victim.
Being viciously attacked, young Schelling.
er seeing Stickley's beastly condition, re-
garded discretion as playing much larg.
role than valor in his Gaze, and ran.
Stickley, keen for dlsgracef ul fight, gave
pursuit, and as he is something of sprint
or, the race was an uneven one.
Schellinger stumbled and fell and Stickley
jumped on the PROSTATE form kicking and
abusing him in horrible manner. Bystand-
ers say that he actually stamped him in the
face with his heavy boots!
The drunken George was pulled of his
victim and arrested, while the badly ham.
mered man was taken to the Union House
and his injuries kindly dressed.
Stickley was lodged in the city prison ovei
Sunday and Monday morning it cost him
$26 before he gained his liberty.

death of Ferdinand and Isabella-in all OF
which acts the acting WAS good, the COS
tunes pretty and the scenic effect, especial

The last act was devoted to america as

to realize a good thing after

the failures that every day
