] would like for us to reason to
g"thcr like Il fathor with a son, ul
the disponsary and other appcrti.
ncnt questions. A great many
persons seem think, or say they do
that the State buys whiskcy and
by rcctifying 1T makes thrcc gal
ions from ono. This is impossible
RrctiIy means to make right on
better. Proof whiskcy contains
- per cent Of alcohol. Alcohol
contains 1S per cent of alcohol
and , per cent of wator. So it
will take nearly Is gallons of it to
furnish enough Of that Ingredient
for three gallons of whiskoy. Our
whiskry cannot be better than al
cohol, it is on y up to tho l.. S.
standard of - per cont. | think
| know men with chcr;<, gas and
lies enough for thrcc or five, but
never saw any whiskey strong
"ncugn to make thrcc measures.
Some suggest that We have a sort
OF homo protrction--tho State
buys altogether home made whis-
key, hut the religion and politics

against protection on this line.
But open the door and it would be
applied to tobacco, rice, sorghum

1t is this chemically pure whiskcy

mad" Of puro chemicals. Gcntlc-
men look out for your regulations
for intelligence. Arc you not NOR
ally sure that There has boon many
samples OF the dispcnsary goods
analyzcd by its bitter cncmics,and
if anything was found wrong, it
would have hccn proclaimed from
the house tops, and every State
sales room closed because mon
would not have anything impure
from the state, it matters not
what they use from othcr sources
1t has been claimed that the
government put ON the revenue as
Il prohibition measure by making
whislcy SO high the people cannot
drink it. SO put it down to the
old prico Of 800. It will bc Il
IA ruinous price to the farmers who
have about 100 bushels Of corn.
