said to a reporter for the State Journal:
Mr.. Love seems to be sore about the
way things are, and should not be
much surprised if he had something to
do with the authorship of the circular
attacking me which was circulated this
morning. I believe, however, that we
can get together with the POpuiists. If

How did it tighten our burden?
What benefit did we liquor dealers de-

brewers instead Of reducing the price
Of beer are talking of increasing it.
The principal brewers of Milwaukee,
Wis, have gone before the United
States Brewers association with such
a proposition, and the brewers all over
the country are most emphatic IN their
declarations that they have no inten-
ton whatever of reducing prices.

Indianapolis News: For years there
has been much talk of reciprocity in
various ways Now We are invited to
contemplate the fact that all our talk
amounts to nothing. There viii be no
reciprocity, or if there be even a feeble
bit, practically of no help to Cuba. it
can only be had by purchasing it from
the protected sugar beet interests
Meanwhile American products of many
kinds are sold abroad at lower price
than the American himself is forced to
pay for them Besides this we have the
beef combine extortfng unlawful profits
and the coal combine enjoying a monop-
oily. and yet nothing is done. No one
has raised a voice to put coal on the
free list Nova Scotia. with her stores
could feed New England's factories with
fuel so as to break the price of the
anthracite combine. But we are not
allowed to have free coal. Meat is so
high that poorer people must restrict
their use of it. and yet no one has
lifted a voice to put cattle and meat
products on the free list. No one has
offered to place anything on the free
list or to reduce the duty on anything
for which Americans are paying higher
prices than foreigners pay. And with
all our moral obligation to Cuba, the
most that can be obtained IS the con-
sent of the protected interests to allow
a reduction of 20 per cent.

HOW FAvoRs ARE SECURED.

Under the caption "Buncoed Again"
the Wine and Spirit Gazette prints a
letter from one of it's subscribers which
throws some light on the methods en-
ployed ia bringing about a reduction Of
the tax on beer. An extract from the
letter follows.
u am a plain saloonkeeper. Members
Of the trade will remember how we
have been solicited by the brewers for
the last two years to work for the re-
duction Of the war tax on beer from 50
to 81 a barrel We were promised a re-
duotion in the price of beer if we were
to put our shoulders to the wheel and
have the war tax taken of the beer.
The men who were loudest and N Ost ac-
tive in making this promise were the
secretary and organizer of the Nation
al Retail Liquor Dealers association.
Early and late we were told by these
men that it was to our interest to write
to our congressman and get them in
terested in the movement to have the
Spanish war tax taken off the beer
Well. we did all we could to get the tax
reduction bill passed. We worked hard
and earnestly. The secretary and or
ganizer OF the National Retail Liquor
Dealers association appeared several
times before the congressional commit
tees and told the members Of congress
how much the retail liquor dealers of
the country desired to be freed from the
burden OF this oppressive war taxation
on beer

nue. tax on beer from 81 to 81 a barrel
