all the more difficult by the fact that

prospect that their advance will In.

1t must be self-evident to any one,
whose knowledge OF the present state
OF the brewing business and the trade
In fermented malt liquors enables him
to form an intelligent judgment. that

Government eXacts by the new law In

carried, cannot be paid by the brewers
unless collected from the dealers, nor

the consumer. This Is the only ration.
