When Lloyd-George put the screws on
the members of the British "Beerage''
by means of Increased taxation. there
was loud squealing and most folk con-
cluded that the brewers were doomed to
the workhouse, but Wilson's report shows
with what canniness the men of malt
have made the consumer bear their add
ed burdens, and muloted him of a pretty
penny in addition. They have done this
by the simple expedient of changing
money for water. Says Wilson:
During the financial year ended March
g. 1900 for every 1000 barrels on which
beer duty was paid the brewers produced
l0e6 bulk barrels, but immediately the
war tax of Is per barrel was imposed in
1900 the gravity was lowered, and in that
financial year the 1000 standard barrels
represented 1923 bulk barrels. and the fol-
lowing year 1885 bulk barrels, and by the
year 1859 the ratio had risen from 100
to 1916. In the following year when the
bro n "a ~
Sd a barrel was imposed. the gravity
was again Immediately lowered and tn,
year 1909-1o showed 1000 standard barrels
producing 1858 bulk barrels.
Brewers Evade Duty
This lowering of gravity during the
period has enabled the brewers to pro
duee, free of duty, in England and Wales
over 1900 600 more barrels of beer thar
they could have produced out of the
same materials If the gravity of 1s99-190'
had been maintained. and the retail price
obtained from the public for this guam.
tity was well over 930,0 600. The add
tional beer duty and brewers license duty

Years exceed el9,000000, leaving a large
balance to the credit of additional tax
alton account in the books of the H.
censed trade. The consumer has, there
fore paid the whole of the extra tax
alton on beer and a very large sum in ad-
dition.'

The sesostris was one OF the Kosmcs
liners, operated by a German company
along the coasts OF North and South
America around Cape Horn, to Hamburg.
Nearly six years ago, or in March, 1907,
to be exact, the ship came to the port
of Ocos, Guatemala, for cargo of cof-
fee. Ocos Is an open roadstaad on the
Pacific side. There IS no harbor and no
wharf and the town consists Of few
tumbledown houses on tbe beach, at the
terminus of ricketXS XSffailroad running
back into the mountains to the conee
plantations.
The process of loading cargo Is primi-
tive. The bags of coffee are carried by
the Indians from the cars out through
the surf and thrown into boats, and are
then taken out to the ship in lighters,
the boats being pulled by light wire
cable passed round a pulley attached to
4 buoy about 800 feet from shore, an en-
gine on land supplying the motive power
tor the cable. Ships anchor near the
buoy and the coffee Is hoisted aboard
crom the lighters.
On the March afternoon when the Sc
sostris arrived at Ocos for the last time
the ocean was like glass, and the calm
of the tropics hung over land and sea-

thing was quiet aboard that night and all
were asleep the breeze freshened. and the
ship slipped her cable at the 80 faith

osiris in the breakers. pounding on the
sand. Before they could get Np steam
and get off anchors and cables this
sand had filled around the ship until
she was on a shoal, and it was then
impossible to move her. After work

making round her more and more, the

She was put up at auction by the un-
