The Corn Argument Canned

T. M. Gilmore president of the Model License
League, has recently confessed to the fact that the
dstilers and liquor leagues have long been attempt
ing to deceive the people and especially the and
rye producers as to the consumption of grain required
for distilled spirits Some recent criticism expressed
on the New York produce exchange to the
sumption of by the distillers brought from Gil
more very prompt declaration that the liquor bust
required comparatively very little corn This
statement made by Mr. Gilmore
"The production of distilled spirits in the United
States for the fiscal year ending June co. IoII was
I72,22II2o gallons, which required only 100000
bushels Of and 100000 bushels of rye and barley
malt One per cent of 3,7ooooo,ooo bushels, the
crop for the year. would be 100000 bushels, the
d1sters used 100000 bushels less than per cent
of the corn crop" Less than per cent of the corn
crop OF this country required for the largest out
put OF distilled spirits ever produced And yet the
distlers have sought to have it believed that
thing awful would happen to the corn producers of
this country if the whisky dstilling business should
be further disturbed and imited.-Exchange
1t seems to be the fact that only about ~ per
cent of the crop at is used in making in
oxicating drinks and of that amount only about one
half of per cent actually goes into the beverages.
What then becomes of the other per cent? man
who is informed upon these matters tells us that this
per cent is the refuse from the dsteres and the
breweries and is consumed by what they call "slop-
fed hogs and CATTLE These hogs and cattle are an in
erior article and going into the market at reduced
price, tend to demoralize the market for what is
known as corn-fed, or dry-fed stock The conclusion
is that the farmer would be much better off in the sale
of his stock fed for the market upon clean corn if
there did not exist either brewery distillery.
This is another point for the farmer. On the one
hand the liquor traffic creates burden of taxation
that the farmer has to carry; and on the other it
helps to ruin the market for the product of his farm
If anybody in this country should be against the
liquor traffic on financial grounds it is the American
farmer

Hon. George Wythe and adopted by
the General Assembly of Virginia; and

apparent disregard Of the original
and lawful design of the true seal
and of the true flag. as evidenced by

representations of both the seal and

for the first year the equipment of

In view of these facts, earnestly
recommend that the authorities now

discretion, after experimenting with
one or more camps without guards
and finding conditions satisfactory. to
adopt the Colorado plan and put
