The Brewers Side.

The side Of the brewers in tho trouble
which Is just now confronting them Is best
set forth by the following abstracts from
circular issued by the Uni'od States
Brewers Association and which was on.
dorsed and adopted ut the recent Atlantic
City Convention.
The unanimity with which brewers
throughout the country have agreed to add
the tax increase Of one dollar per barrel on
fermented malt liquors to their former
price proves conclusively, that keen COM
petition has so far lowered the price Of
their product as to leave no margin for
them to assume any part of this new bur-
den Their position In facing this war
tax increase Is made all the moro difficult
by the fact that present prices are based
upon the low market value of brewing ma

IL must be self.eyldent to any one, whose
knowledge of the present state of the
brewing-businoss and the TRADE in for
mented malt-liquors enables him to form
an intelligent judgment, that the thirty
million dollars which the Government
exacts by the new law in addition to the
heavy burden already carried. cannot be
paid by tho brewers unless collected from
the denlers, nor by the dealers unless col
lected from the consumer.
This Is the only rational and feasible
solution Of the problem, and there Is no
valid reason why the generally admitted
maxim, that the consumer must pay the
tax, should not find application in this
case, especially If it can be brought about
at the present charge of five cents per glass
and without increasing the price per meas.

Col. Digger. one Of the Klondike's

The mercury was lower In the ther-
momster tube than the price Of silver
in NeF York, and the wind had blown
the ccid-wave flag full Of holes.
The colonel sat alone In the gilt
edged library Of his more than palatial
mansion, and there was the look Of
expectancy In his eye, which comes to
those who may mount upward to the
skies or sink to the abyssmal depths
Of the darkest despair, depending en-
tirely upon what the news may be that
he is expecting.
For sometime he sat as II stunned,
but this could not endure, and shaking
himself as II he would throw of the
burden of his doubt, he arose to his
feet and strobe toward the hall, where
over the door hung the antlered head
Of that mighty caribou which had mas
tered the Yukon for dozen years.
At the portsas OF the entrance tho
colonel met Mn Diggar, who had but
at that moment emerged from the cell

emotion. well, how many barrels did
you find?"
They are all gone, Henry" replied
the trembling woman. I'VE used the

Col. Digger clutched at his heart as
II fatal pain had caught him there,
and he gasped like stricken giant
ere he spoke.

trievably lost! There isn't pound Of
feed in town, and those fool clerks of
mine made mistake and shipped hf-
teen barrels of picked pork to the San
Francisco mint instead of the fifteen
barrels Of gold dust they ought to have
shipped. Fools, fools, that they were!"
he raved, and his wife sought to COM
fort him. but the millionaire refused
to be comforted, for his soul was
