and the attempt of the Southern

He spoke at great length, but as We

Money. ARE justified and wonld be In

means permitted to them BY the const-

power of government in the interests

RAISE PRICE ON BEER.
Louisville Brewers Make an Agree
ment To That Effect.

REPUBLIC sPESTAi.
Louisville. Ky. July I9-An agreement IS
being drawn UP among the local brewers TO
advance the price Of beer from s. to 81 u
barrel. and IL il believed all can be in
tuced to sign II. II was said to-day. by
a representative O! one OF the local brew
cries. that the advance would 90 into effect
In about ten days. unless some one of the
brewers backed out.
The reason the steps were taken secretly
was TO ward off fight from the $50 saloon
keepers who were interested. These might
have influence sufficient TO defeat the scheme
for an advance.
The reason given by the brewers for the
advance is the high internal revenue tax
and the Increased price Of everything that
goes into the manufacture of beer, except
water. and even this has advanced at some
breweries by reason OF the water company
putting in meters.
