PRoH1BIT1oN1sTs FAVOR 1T.

PRoH1BITIONIsTs FAVOR 1T.
Many of the leading representa-
tives of the prohibition movement
throughout the country, after max
ing a thorough examination of the
subject, have become enthusiastic
advocates of the proposition. It
would certainly seem better to burn
the alcohol than to drink it. tits
known that many large distilleries
which are now manufacturing alcc-
hol for a beverage (there being no
market for it under the present
high price), would gladly quit that
business and. manufacture nothing
but denaturalized alcohol for the
industries.
STANDARD OIL OPPOSITION.
Untaxed denaturalized alcohol
will do more to bring the Standard
Oil Company and other companies
and also the coal companies to
terms than any other possible leg
islation,as it will bring aproduct in
competition with theirs which will
be impossible to corner. The prin-
cipal opposition to the proposed
legislation will come from these
companies, as it will be a telling
blow against their monopolies. !;
Opposition will also come from
the manufacturers Of wood alcohol.
Wood alcohol is now permitted to
be untaxed, andein. view Of the high
price of grain alcohol the wood al
cohol manufacturers 8 are; enabled to
get an enormous profit on their
product. 7
Wood alcohol is very poisonous
and dangerous to the health of the
workman in many Of the sciences,
arts. and industries, such as paint
ers, picture mould manufacturers:
finishers of furniture, etc, many
instances being recalled where total
blindness has been caused by wood
alcohol.
REVENUE NOT REDUCED.
1t will also be opposed somewhat
by certain classes who fear that it
will reduce the revenues of the gov
ernment. This legislation will not
interfere ateriallywith therevenue
as it is not proposed to take the tax
off alcohol for the purpose to which
it is now put.
