Republicans Will Punish Brewers.

Republicans Will Punish Brewers.
The Republicans are to show their
power, gained by small plurality, with
heavy hand and thug like fercenesS
which would do credit to a Chicago
highwayman. Thomas c, Platt showed
this when he said last week at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel:
I'VE are going to have pure beer now,
1t may cost a triAe more, but it will be
pure"
AS the Republican boss said these few
significant words there was a malicious
twinkle in his eve that spoke volumes.
The brewers OF Greater New York
who supported Van Wyck to man, are
to be punished. The Legislature will be
instructed to make it hot for them. and
by doing this the retail liquor dealers
will be reached and punished as well.
Threat was made before the election
by an ex Police Commissioner high in
the councils of the Republican party,
that if Republican Legislature was
elected New York city would see such
turning over as was never heard OF.
This scheme against the brewers is
probably the first move in the direction
of retribution.
The scheme of the Republicans is to
have the Legislature pass a law placing
heavy revenue tax on breweries,
amounting to perhaps $4,000 each, and
also to provide for a standard" of
purity tor beer impossible to live up to.
Republican inspectors will be appointed,
who will be instructed II enforce the
law to the very limit.
Tbs pure beer" bill will be similar to
the bill introduced by Senator Ford two
years ago, but with a revenue robbery
Col Jacob Rupert Jr., elected to
Congress last week by Tammany. de-
nounced the scheme as Platt plan 10
get even with New York for giving Van
Wyck a majority. Said he: "The beer
in this State today IS as
pure as it can possibly be. It is in no
way adulterated, and any intimatiOn
to the contrary on the part of The
Republicans is simply toI the purpose of
creating the impression in the minds OF
the public that the necessity for such
legislation exists. The State Board o.
Health has full power to see that beer
S not adulteTated."
President Clarkson. OF the Brewers
Association, denounced the scheme as
'lackmail, and every brewer in the cityis
ip IN arms over the idea. The retail
liquor dealers are also worked up, and
meeting of the Liquor Dealers
Association will be held IN few days to
consider the matter.
Senator Ford, the author OF the pre-.
fous pure beer bill, Rleefully admitted
hat the scheme against the brewers
nd liquor dealers is to be pushed
through.
