BREWERS AND THEIR "ruLL."
It will not escape public notice that
the proposition TO impose this add.
tional tax on beer was earnestly advo,
Gated pending tho discussion Of tho
tariff bill. and that 1t was rejected both
by tho committee on ways and means
and BY tho senate finance committee.
Tho only explanation which has been
given OF tho rejection OF this PROPOSE.
ton has been that tho brewers seem 10
have an extraordinary pull" with
those who were responsible for the
framing OF tho recent tariff law. While
other interests wore subjected to what
ever disadvantages may result TO them
from the new tariff law, tho brewers es.
capped. Senator Jones, OF Arkansas,
the Democratic member OF the finance
committee, who had so much to do in
the framing and passing Of the tariff
bill, was earnest in his advocacy OF the
increase In the tax on beer Of one dol.
lar per barrel.
He was overruled by his associates,
and although he frequently REQUIRED to
this proposition, he never succeeded in
securing favorable audience.
The tavorite argument Of those who
opposed the tax was that beer is the
poor mans drink. and that to tax beer
an additional dollar per barrel would
be an additional tax upon the poor man.
The answer made 10 this was that beer
would still sell for 5 cents a glass, aud
that the only result would be to reduce
the extraordinary profits Of the brewers
TO that extent.
