+ PREFACE.
+
+
+Our object in presenting the following pages to the public, is to call
+attention to the value of pure beer as a preventive of intemperance.
+Few persons are aware of the amount of patient investigation this
+question has received at the hands of eminent social economists and
+men of science, or of the mass of facts and testimony that has been
+collected, and lies ready at the hand of any one who is able and
+willing to work it over into a compact consecutive form, in which
+it shall be easy of access, and available for use in the further
+discussion of the subject. This we have attempted to do thoroughly
+and fairly. Great caution has been used in making statements and no
+inference has been drawn that could be considered in any way forced or
+doubtful.
+
+There are doubtless many persons to whom some of the facts and
+conclusions here presented, may seem strange or even startling, and
+to such it must be said that the authorities quoted are generally men
+whose reputation for accuracy and sound judgment stands so high that
+they cannot afford to make a mistake or a loose assertion.
+
+The work has involved much labor and historical research, and the
+author believes that the information contained in the following pages
+cannot fail to be of value to those who are interested in any phase
+of the beer question, whether as brewers, legislators or students
+of sociology. The end proposed to be served is that of temperance,
+and the method suggested is one that has been successfully tried in
+other countries. From the total abstinence party we ask the candid
+examination of our facts and arguments that is due to a fair statement
+from all who claim respect for their own opinions, and are honest
+friends of real temperance.
+
+
+
+
+ BEER,
+
+ ITS HISTORY AND ITS ECONOMIC VALUE
+
+ AS A
+
+ NATIONAL BEVERAGE.
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER I.
+
+ PRELIMINARY VIEW OF THE SUBJECT.
+
+
+As extremes do and must perforce exist, the noblest philosophy of life
+is _compromise_.
+
+Temperance then is the truest medium between total abstinence and
+excess, and in the same manner, beer occupies the medium position
+between ardent spirits and water. This fact is of the greatest
+importance, and until the public thoroughly understands the
+differences, whether from a moral, social, economic, or sanitary point
+of view, between distilled and fermented liquors, or in other words,
+beer and whisky there can be no hope of proper legislation as to the
+traffic in these articles. This legislation is now greatly influenced
+by the public advocates of total abstinence, among whom, if their own
+repeated claims be taken into account we might expect to find only
+disinterested, high-minded philanthropists. But it is notorious that
+their ranks are largely swelled by ignorant, ambitious or foolish men,
+whose vanity or pecuniary interest determines their action, and whose
+persistence and numerical strength will constitute an effective power
+until legislative bodies and the people at large are more thoroughly
+informed as to the actual experience of countries in which the problem
+has been dispassionately studied and brought to a successful solution.
+In too many of our states the liquor laws represent the triumph of
+ignorance and prejudice over reason and the welfare of the community.
+We hold that the solution of the temperance question is to be found
+through fermented liquors, and “BEER AGAINST WHISKY” is our motto.
+
+Before coming, as we shall do later in this book, to a detailed
+examination of the facts in regard to the use of beer, it may be well
+to declare briefly our position, and give some indication of the kind
+of testimony that will be more fully displayed under a separate heading.
+
+We hold that the production and sale of beer is so far from being
+subversive of public morals, that experience in all countries where
+beer is the national beverage, demonstrates precisely the opposite
+of this position. We hold too, that the use of beer is not merely
+indifferent, but, within the limits of temperance (_i. e._ moderation),
+a good and rational means of developing the mental and bodily powers of
+man.
+
+We cannot join in the gratulations of those who now—as they say—so
+enthusiastically enjoy the blessings of total abstinence. During the
+last thirty years we have seen something of the operation of this
+enthusiasm, not only in Great Britain, but in the native state of the
+originator of the movement in this country, and we find it impossible
+to assent to the famous proposition that a pledged abstainer is a
+drunkard saved. We have been convinced that a pledged abstainer is too
+often a man who drinks in secret and thus adds hypocrisy to his other
+sins.
+
+Notice this passage from evidence given before a state committee
+appointed to inquire into the action of the restrictive laws. The Hon.
+James H. Duncan of Haverhill, says:
+
+“My observation and convictions are, that temperance has not been
+promoted by the prohibitory law; that the temperance of our people is
+not so good now as before the passage of the law; it has no efficacy in
+checking intemperance and the evils that result from it; it has been
+productive of more mischief than good, and I think it an unwise act.
+It is impossible to make that a crime which is not made a crime by the
+divine law, and the use of beer, wine and cider cannot by any effort be
+made a crime _per se_, yet the prohibitory statute makes it a crime to
+sell either, and worse, it is a crime for a carrier to carry them. No
+wonder that such a law demoralizes the community, for a vast amount of
+lying and fraud have been called into existence through its agency.”
+
+The Rev. George Putnam, D.D., said; “I believe and know that the
+prohibitory law produces demoralization, and disrespect for a law that
+cannot be enforced. It demoralizes jurors and witnesses. It demoralizes
+the buyers and sellers of liquors, inducing them to resort to all
+manner of frauds, tricks and evasions to do that unlawfully which they
+cannot do lawfully. It is injurious to the conscience of the people to
+be always violating this law; and so far as liquor selling is concerned
+the law has done no good.”
+
+These extracts and many others to be given later, go to prove that it
+is most unwise to interfere with the social habits of a people, that
+it is dangerous for a state to do so, and that, as a matter of fact,
+temperance is not promoted by a prohibitory law. Public testimony
+that such laws are a blunder, or worse, has been given by such men
+as John Quincy Adams, Professor Agassiz of Cambridge, Rev. Leonard
+Bacon, D. D., of Connecticut, Professor Bigelow of Boston, Professor
+Edward Clark of Boston, ex-Governor Clifford, the late Right Rev.
+M. Eastburn, D. D., the late Governor Andrews, and Oliver Wendell
+Holmes, all of Boston, ex-Governor Washburn of Massachusetts, Professor
+Bowen of Cambridge, General Burrell of Roxbury, Hon. Joel Parker of
+Cambridge, Judge Patch of Lowell, Hon. James H. Duncan of Haverhill,
+Mass., Rev. George Putnam, D. D., of Mass., Dr. Garcelon, Governor
+of Maine, Dr. Willard Parker of the Inebriate Asylum at Binghamton,
+N. Y., A. Schwartz, Esq., the distinguished editor and publisher of
+the _Americanischer Bierbrauer_, and many others, comprising eminent
+statesmen, judges, and divines of all the states of the Union.
+
+Our legislators should consider it their solemn duty to protect
+and foster the manufacture and sale of pure beer, and should frame
+such laws as will protect the people against imposition and secure
+the manufacture of an article that shall not only be made from good
+materials, but be thoroughly well brewed and wholesome, and sold at a
+moderate price.
+
+Such a course will prove a blessing to mankind, and we do not hesitate
+to say, that notwithstanding what fools or fanatics may say, preach or
+write, Americans, and particularly those of the Eastern States, who
+are probably the most practical people on the face of the globe, will
+before long adopt beer as their national beverage. In doing so they
+will but follow the example of the most civilized countries of Europe;
+and it will soon be recognized that every brewery and every beer saloon
+helps to loosen the grasp which alcohol has on any country where
+distilled liquors are habitually used. Thomas Jefferson, writing Dec.
+13, 1818, to M. de Neuville in reference to intemperance and the use of
+light wines as a substitute for spirits, says, “No nation is drunken
+where wine is cheap.” Beer is yet less alcoholic than wine of any sort
+and has advantages of its own which will be discussed in due place.
+Experience shows that sound, wholesome beer at a moderate cost is the
+best catholicon yet discovered for intemperance. It weans a people
+gradually but surely from strong drink and brings happiness, content
+and morality in the place of dissipation and suffering. But it must
+be good, cheap and accessible, and the responsibility of making it so
+rests with our lawgivers. The poorer classes are those who need it most
+and cause most injury and loss to the state when for lack of it they
+consume ardent spirits—and these cheap and adulterated.
+
+In spite of all difficulties considerable progress has been made, as is
+shown by a consumption last year of more than nine million (9,473,361)
+barrels of beer, which is the best evidence of a step in the right
+direction towards national temperance.
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER II.
+
+ EARLY HISTORY OF BEER.
+
+
+It is impossible to say where and when the brewing of beer began, for
+the earliest historical records show its general use.
+
+It is mentioned by Manathos, High Priest of Heliopolis, an Egyptian of
+Greek education, who lived about 300 B. C. and by command of Ptolemaus
+Philadelphus translated the old Egyptian history into Greek. He says
+that the Egyptians, thousands of years before, had beer, and that its
+invention was attributed to Osiris, a divinity representing all the
+beneficent principles, also that celebrated breweries existed at that
+time at El Kahirch, the Cairo of Europeans, and at Pelusinum on the
+river Nile.
+
+The Greeks had their _zythos_ (beer) as also their wine of barley, _ek
+krithon methu_, and the _oinos krithinos_ as mentioned by Sophocles,
+Æschylus, 470 B. C., Diodorus of Sicily and Pliny. Xenephon in his
+account of the Retreat of the Ten Thousand, written 400 B. C., mentions
+that the inhabitants of Armenia used fermented drinks made from barley.
+
+[Illustration: VIEW OF AN OLD EGYPTIAN BREWERY,
+
+_As described by Manathos (third century B. C.), High Priest in
+Heliopolis_]
+
+The Romans had their _cerevisia_ (beer) but with them it was a special
+luxury. Julius Cæsar was a noted admirer of it, and Plutarch, 50 A. D.,
+and Suetonius, each of whom wrote of Cæsar, tell us that after he had
+crossed the Rubicon, 49 B. C., he gave a great feast to his leaders at
+which the principal beverage used was _cerevisia_, and the biographers
+of Lucullus tell us that at his magnificent entertainments beer was
+served to his guests in golden goblets of the most costly device.
+And at that time also the Romans were already accustomed to sing
+_Cerevisiam bibunt homines, cœtera animalia fontes_.
+
+In Germany beer was known about the same time, and Tacitus (54 A.
+D.,) says, that the Roman general Varius, who was sent by Augustus to
+conquer the country and subdue the inhabitants, but was defeated by
+Arminius the leader of the Teutons, attributed the desperate valor of
+the enemy and their complete success, in great measure to their free
+use of _bior_ (beer).
+
+The Allemanni, a large German tribe who were first mentioned by Dion
+Cassius, 213 A.D., and who occupied the country between the river Main
+and the Danube, were formidable enemies both to the Romans and the
+Gauls. They attached great importance to their beer which was brewed
+under the supervision of the priests, and before use was blessed with
+many solemn rites. In an old code of theirs we find that every member
+of a church (_Gotteshaus_) had to contribute for its maintenance
+fifteen _seidel_ of beer or some equivalent. The Emperor Julian who
+defeated them in the year 357 A. D., near Strasburg, where all their
+forces were assembled under seven chiefs, found on the field of battle
+numerous utensils designed to be employed in brewing.
+
+The old Saxons in the seventh and eighth centuries when sitting in
+council to consider questions of high importance would only deliberate
+after drinking beer, which they took in common out of large _Humpen_
+(stone mugs).
+
+Charlemagne (742-814 A. D.,) himself gave directions how to brew the
+beer for his court, and was as careful in selecting his brew-masters
+as in choosing his councilors and leaders. A single circumstance,
+attendant on his defeat of the Saxons at Paderborn, 777 A. D.,
+illustrates the high respect in which brewing was then held, and in
+this particular, is suggestive of its semi-sacred character among the
+Allemanni as mentioned above. On that occasion it is related that the
+Emperor, surrounded by his chief leaders and councilors and by the
+ambassadors of distant nations, received the homage of the heathen
+Saxon warriors, caused many thousands of them to be baptized and then
+celebrated the double triumph of his arms and the Christian faith at
+a great feast, at which there were seated with him Eginhard, Paul
+Warnefried and Alcuin, the Emperor’s friends and advisers, and all
+drank of beer brewed by Charlemagne himself, while they discussed the
+great events that had just occurred. The drinking vessels were large
+mugs of a peculiar form which are still to be seen among a collection
+of relics presented to the Emperor by eastern potentates and now kept
+in a tower at the west end of the Cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle, and
+exposed to public view once in every seven years. Within a few years
+numerous relics have been found in the vicinity of Paderborn which
+indicate that beer brewing must have been as common and necessary in
+both parties as the cooking of food.
+
+The old Danes as far back as 860 A. D. under Gorm the Old, 936 A.
+D. under Harold Bluetooth, and 985 A. D. under Swend Twybeard, were
+acquainted with the art of brewing, and their old codes mention it as a
+most honorable occupation.
+
+In Bohemia, breweries were built at Budweis in the year 1256 A. D. by
+direction of Ottokar II., King of Bohemia, and few cities in the world
+can point to an establishment of such antiquity. Budweis beer is now
+almost universally known and approved, though it is needless to say
+that it differs materially from that made six hundred years ago.
+
+In the thirteenth century we see by an old law of France, in the reign
+of Louis IX., of the year 1268, how highly beer was esteemed and that
+laws were already made to secure the purity of beer as well as to
+protect the brewers in their avocation, and for curiosity’s sake we
+give our readers an extract of those laws as mentioned above:
+
+1. No one shall brew beer or remove it in drays or otherwise, on
+Sundays or on the solemn feasts of the Holy Virgin.
+
+2. No one shall set up in the brewery who has not served a five years’
+apprenticeship, and been three years a partner with a regular brewer.
+
+3. Nothing shall enter into the composition of beer, but good malt
+and hops, well gathered, picked, and cured, without any mixture of
+buckwheat, darnel, etc., and the hops shall be inspected by juries,
+to see that they are not used after being heated, moldy, damp, or
+otherwise damaged.
+
+4. No beer yeast shall be hawked about the streets, but shall be all
+sold in the brew-houses to bakers and pastrycooks, and to no others.
+
+5. Beer yeast brought by foreigners shall be inspected by a jury before
+it is exposed to sale.
+
+C. No brewer shall keep in, or about, his brew-house any cows, oxen,
+hogs, geese, ducks, or poultry, as being inconsistent with cleanliness.
+
+7. There shall not be made in any brew-house more than one brewing of
+fifteen septiers at the most, of ground malt in a day.
+
+8. Casks, barrels, and other vessels made to hold beer, shall be marked
+with the brewer’s mark, in the presence of a jury.
+
+9. No brewer shall take away from a house he serves with beer any
+vessels which do not belong to him.
+
+10. Those who sell beer by retail shall be subject to the inspection of
+juries.
+
+11. No one shall be a partner but with a master brewer.
+
+12. No master brewer shall have more than one apprentice at a time,
+which apprentice shall not be turned over without the consent of a jury.
+
+13. No one shall take a partner who has quitted his master without the
+consent of such master.
+
+14. A widow may employ servants in brewing, but may not take an
+apprentice.
+
+15. Master brewers shall not entice away one another’s apprentices nor
+servants.
+
+16. There shall be three masters elected for jurymen, two of which
+shall be changed every two years.
+
+17. Such jurymen shall have the power to inspect in the city and
+suburbs.
+
+In addition every brewer had to pay duty, so that the king might
+not be defrauded, was obliged to give notice of every brewing to a
+commissioner, stating the day and hour he intended to kindle the fire
+of his boiler, under a penalty of fine and confiscation. As brewing
+necessitates the employment of a large quantity of grain, it was
+customary, in times of scarcity, for the king to put a stop to the
+manufacture of beer for a certain number of weeks. These rules and
+regulations, made more than six hundred years since, are interesting
+and curious to the brewers of to-day.

+
+ “Brewer of Ghent,” Patrician, Orator and Ruler of the Province of
+ Flanders. Killed July 17, 1345. Taken from the original oil painting
+ in possession of Jan Van Artevelde, in Amsterdam.]
+
+In the fourteenth century the monks were the ordinary brewers, and one
+brewery founded by them at Dobraw near Pilsen, Bohemia, and endowed by
+Charles IV. shortly before his death with a prescriptive right to brew
+beer, is still in existence and is probably the oldest in the world.
+Its five hundredth anniversary was lately celebrated with great pomp,
+by all classes of society in that ancient city. Bohemian beer is to be
+ranked with the very best known, and an idea of the annual product for
+home and foreign consumption may be formed from the fact that there are
+now no less than eight hundred and eighty-seven breweries in actual
+operation.
+
+In Austria, the first brewery built at Vienna was on the Weidenstrasse
+and dates back as far as 1384. The oldest standing brewery in the same
+place is the St. Marx Brew-house, founded in 1706.
+
+In the Provinces of Flanders and Brabant a beer brewed of malt and
+hops was the national beverage as early as the fourteenth century, and
+brewers occupied an important position and were held in high esteem.
+History tells us that one of them, _Jacob Van Artevelde_ the Brewer
+of Ghent, a nobleman by birth, became a celebrated popular leader who
+drove Louis I., Count of Flanders, into France, held the government of
+the province and supported Edward III. of England until his death, July
+17, 1345.
+
+His son Philip, who at one time was chosen ruler of the provinces and
+who died 1382, was as well known as a celebrated brewer as his father.
+
+To Flanders also belongs the celebrated Gambrinus, who under his real
+name of Jan Primus, Duke of Flanders, ruled Flanders and Brabant
+wisely, and became the protector of the beer brewing fraternity. Under
+the popular cognomen, however, (to which many mythical attributes have
+been attached) he is universally known, and perhaps held in higher
+esteem by a greater number of adherents than all the saints, even
+including Saint Patrick, who have been canonized up to the present day.
+
+In England beer was introduced by the Romans. The Saxons found it there
+and improved wonderfully upon the discovery. For centuries it received,
+in the modern literature of England, the constant attention and
+consideration of churchmen, historians, poets and political economists.
+The churchmen especially were active in the improvement of malt
+liquors. William of Malmsbury says that the best brewers in England at
+the time of Henry II. were to be found in the monasteries, and every
+reader of early English literature remembers frequent allusions not
+only to beer in general but to that of the holy fathers in particular.
+The monks were the first to discover the peculiar fitness of the waters
+of Burton on Trent for brewing purposes, and may thus be said to have
+paved the way for the development of the enormous establishments that
+now scatter their product over all the world.
+
+According to “Tennant’s Guide to London,” published at the beginning
+of the present century, there were in the reigns of the Tudors great
+breweries at London, situated on the river-side below St. Katherine’s.
+In 1492 King Henry VII. licensed a Flemish brewer, John Merchant,
+to export a large quantity of the so-called “berre,” and that the
+beer had to be of good quality and was under the surveillance of the
+authorities, is proved by the fact that Geffrey Gate, an officer of the
+king, twice destroyed the brew-houses on account of the weakness of the
+beer.
+
+In the reign of Elizabeth the demand for ale increased very largely,
+and we find mention of an export of five hundred tuns of the precious
+liquor at one time. This was sent to Amsterdam for the use of the
+thirsty army in the Netherlands. Mary Queen of Scots in the midst
+of her troubles seems not to have been altogether insensible to the
+attractions of English beer, for when she was confined in Tutbury
+Castle, Walsingham, her secretary asked “At what place near Tutbury
+beer may be provided for her majestie’s use?” To which Sir Ralph
+Sadler, governor of the castle made reply, “Beer may be had at Burton,
+three miles off.” This Burton on Trent began to be famous for its
+water in the thirteenth century. There is a document still extant,
+dated 1295, in which it is stated that Matilda, daughter of Nicholas
+Shoben had released to the abbot and convent of Burton on Trent certain
+tenements, for which release they granted her daily for life two white
+loaves from the monastery, two gallons of conventual beer and one
+penny, besides seven gallons of beer for the men.
+
+In the fifteenth century the monks in Germany brewed two kinds of beer
+in the convents, one kind for the _Patres_, and an inferior beer for
+the convents.
+
+In the sixteenth century the breweries in Germany were already
+celebrated for their malt beer.
+
+Cities not having good cellars, on account of which good beer could
+not be produced, were provided with the beverage through their city
+fathers from other places, stored and sold in the cellars of the city
+hall, hence the origin of the name Rathskeller. The most celebrated
+beer at that time, was the Braunschweiger Mumme, and the beer of
+Eimbeck, Merseburg and Bamberg. Beer before it could be sold had
+to pass a strict examination by a committee consisting of brewers
+of the greatest reputation, appointed by the burgomaster under and
+by advice of the city fathers; and a “Brauherr,” (proprietor and
+brew-master of a brewery) was a man of importance. In the principality
+of Brandenburg—afterwards the kingdom of Prussia—it was thought as
+early as the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that beer was the
+most wholesome of all beverages, and the electors of Brandenburg, later
+the kings of Prussia, fostered breweries by the concession of numerous
+privileges which were increased from time to time. Grants of this
+character and of no small advantage were held by brewers in Cottbus,[1]
+Province of Brandenburg, and were considerably enlarged by Frederick
+the Great in favor of Huguenots who had at his invitation settled in
+the kingdom after being forced by the revocation of the edict of Nantes
+to leave France. These privileges, enjoyed by the Toussaints, Salems
+and others for many years, were abolished by the declaration of the
+freedom of trade in 1838.
+
+[1] Celebrated for the famous white beer which was at that time largely
+exported to Upper Silesia, Bohemia, Berlin, Hamburg, etc.

+
+After the year 1721 coffee began to be extensively used, and at last
+Frederick the Great in order to check its introduction erected large
+coffee roasting establishments which had a monopoly of the business,
+and where the coffee was sold at an enormous price, only the nobility,
+having the right of roasting their coffee beans. “Coffee smellers” or
+spies were appointed to look out for evaders of the law, just as we
+have now beer and whisky smellers. On the 13th day of September, 1777,
+the great king issued his celebrated “coffee and beer manifesto.” It
+was particularly addressed to the provincial members (_Landstande_)
+of the provinces of Pommerania and Brandenburg, which were called
+the nurseries of his armies, and read as follows: “It is disgusting
+to notice the increase in the quantity of coffee used by my subjects
+and the amount of money that goes out of the country in consequence.
+Everybody is using coffee. If possible this must be prevented. My
+people must drink beer. His majesty was brought up on beer and so
+were his ancestors and his officers and soldiers. Many battles have
+been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the king does
+not believe that coffee-drinking soldiers can be depended on to
+endure hardship or to beat his enemies in case of the occurrence of
+another war.” This proclamation had the desired effect, and coffee was
+thenceforth used merely as a luxury, while beer became the usual drink
+of the people.
+
+In the United States the pioneers in the brewing business were William
+Penn and Jacobus, a Dutch brewer of whom Irving tells us that he
+left the States General of Holland to settle on Manhattan Island in
+company with Hendricks, the Kips and others. It will be remembered
+that Manhattan Island was discovered by Hendrik Hudson in 1609 when he
+passed inside Sandy Hook in search of a northwest passage, and that it
+was granted by charter of the States General to the West India Company
+to colonize the island. The company was not slow to discover the
+advantages of such a concession and immediately set at work to build
+forts, a church, a mill and a bakery while Jacobus, who thoroughly
+understood the good effects of beer and the benefits that would follow
+its introduction in the colony, established a brewery (in 1644) and a
+beer garden on what is now the corner of Pearl street and Old Slip. He
+afterwards became the first burgomaster and is said to have dispensed
+beer and justice with equal gravity and impartiality, and to the
+complete satisfaction of the inhabitants of new Amsterdam.
+
+It may be interesting to some readers to know that while Jacobus
+settled near the lower end of the present city the Kips were
+established in the neighborhood of Bellevue Heights, and that on a part
+of that settlement—in East 38th street—stands now the well known and
+justly esteemed lager beer brewery of A. Huepfel’s Sons.
+
+Somewhat later the same business was undertaken by Israel and Timothy
+Horsfield, who came from England, one in 1706 and the other in 1720,
+and settled in Brooklyn, L. I. Their brewery was near the ferry in what
+is now Wallabout.
+
+William Penn, 1644-1718, a man of Dutch extraction on his mother’s
+side, founder of Pennsylvania and the leading spirit of its
+settlement—so justly celebrated for his virtues—brewed and sold beer at
+Pennsbury, Bucks County, Pa.
+
+Good Quaker as Penn was, he was no ascetic. He was a great lover
+of beer, and accustomed to praise his own brewing—he was not
+averse to society, in his house was no lack of comfort, his table
+was well provided, and his taste for good living could never be
+impeached—dancing did not shock him, for both he and his family
+patronized country dances and country fairs, and William Penn’s beer
+was the beverage used on such occasions.
+
+Under his proprietary laws he allowed beer to be sold free of license,
+and this sensible enactment was continued under the state laws until
+the year 1847, when a ten dollar license was substituted. Such a
+tax certainly compares favorably with that of many other states and
+displays a moderation and reasonableness that does credit to the Quaker
+community and is in strong contrast to the spirit recently exhibited in
+some parts of the country.
+
+Another celebrated promoter of early beer brewing in America was Gen.
+Israel Putnam, known to every child as the hero of the wolf’s den and
+the desperate ride down the rocks, and to an older generation as a
+brave soldier and marked character, the man who “dared to lead where
+any dared to follow,” and who has gained a higher position in history
+by virtue of his personal qualities and a touch of romance that clings
+to his name than might strictly attach to his military services.
+
+Although generally known as a Connecticut man he was born at Salem,
+Mass., 1718, and in 1739, at the age of twenty-one, removed to Pomfret,
+Conn., and later to Brooklyn in the same state, with which latter place
+his name is afterwards associated. Here as a farmer and tavern keeper
+he passed the remainder of his life except that considerable part which
+was given to the active military service of his country. The change
+from the life of a successful soldier to these commonplace pursuits
+would seem to many to be near akin to a fall, but Putnam’s practical
+good sense found no difficulty in it. When he returned from the army
+he resumed his farming, tavern business and beer brewing, and seems
+to have had no false shame at either of the humbler avocations. Like
+a wise and self-contained man he did the work nearest to his hand and
+found honor in it whatever it might be. On the other hand, however, it
+is no small credit to the beer brewing fraternity to have had such a
+man in their ranks, even were it in a more limited and incidental way
+than was actually the case. The tavern sign of General Israel Putnam,
+which hung before his door in Brooklyn, (Conn.,) in the year 1768 and
+later, is now preserved in the rooms of the Historical Society at
+Hartford, (Conn.,) and an illustration representing it will be found on
+the opposite page.
+
+The sign is made of yellow pine, painted alike on both sides. The
+device is a full length portrait of General Wolfe, dressed in scarlet
+uniform. The portrait of the young hero is quite correct.
+
+The sign was presented to the Historical Society by Rufus S. Mathewson
+of Woodstock.
+
+Aside from the early public breweries there were doubtless many in
+which beer was made for family consumption. “Home brewed” was common in
+the native homes of most of the colonists, and there is no reason to
+suppose that they voluntarily changed their accustomed manner of living
+and dispensed with a wholesome drink to which they had been used from
+infancy.
+
+In leaving this branch of the subject it should be noted that the beer
+of the earliest periods, like the ale of England before the seventeenth
+century, was usually made without hops, and it is impossible to say
+when these were first employed, although the experiment was certainly
+of no very modern date. It was probably the greatest improvement ever
+made in the production of beer, since it gives a light, clear, and
+elegant product very different from anything that was produced on the
+other plan. The modern demand was for a drink that should be agreeable,
+refreshing and moderately stimulating, and it is now abundantly
+recognized that the fermented decoction of malted barley, clarified and
+preserved by the hops, best fulfills this requirement.

+
+Beer has been considered a necessity in all generations, and only in
+this, the nineteenth century, have extremists arisen to condemn its
+use. It is worthy of note that its greatest enemies are among a class
+who, in the olden times, were its greatest friends. The old abbeys and
+monasteries were the places where the best malt liquor was brewed; and
+not least among the benefactors of their species were the Franciscans
+and Dominicans, who brewed good beer to cheer the hearts of toiling
+humanity. Bishops have written in its praise; universities have
+encouraged its production; and kings having the comfort and contentment
+of their subjects in view have cared for its proper provision. Under
+date January 27, 1617, it is noted in “Langbaine’s Collections” that
+one John Shurle had a patent from Abraham Lake, Bishop of Bath and
+Wells and Vice Chancellor of Oxford, for the office of Ale-taster to
+the university. “The office of Ale-tasting requires that he go to every
+ale-brewer that day they brew, according to their courses, and taste
+their ale; for which his ancient fee is one gallon of strong ale and
+two gallons of strong wort.”
+
+Such a fact is enough to make the modern teetotal dominies stand
+aghast, but it may well be doubted if they are better or wiser men than
+their predecessors, one of whose distinguishing characteristics was
+usually a sound common sense in the ordinary affairs of life.

+
+ CHAPTER III.
+
+ EARLY HISTORY OF BEER—CONTINUED.
+
+
+With the close of the preceding chapter we had intended to leave this
+branch of the subject, but a paper of Hans von der Planitz, written
+in German on the same topic, is so interesting that we cannot do
+better than quote a considerable portion. It is written with genuine
+enthusiasm and is valuable not merely for its facts regarding the early
+history of beer, but also as a picture of customs and manners, often
+given in the words of writers contemporary with the circumstances
+described. The picturesque or realistic effect of the old German
+has been as far as possible preserved in the rendering of passages
+written in that style, and very often the original is added in a note
+or otherwise, for the enjoyment of readers who are able to appreciate
+its flavor. Quotation at such length has involved a trifling amount of
+repetition of matter already stated, but it has seemed better to submit
+to this than to mutilate an independent account, much of whose effect
+depends on its manner of developing the subject. Commencing with the
+ninth century the writer says:
+
+“Beer brewing in England and Flanders is mentioned by Walafried
+Strabo. (849 A. D.) It had been known from a remote antiquity and
+continued in use partly, at least, through Celtic influence. In France
+beer gradually gave place to wine, while in Germany it made good its
+position, and lager beer was discovered as early as the thirteenth
+century, that of the Mark being especially celebrated. In Bohemia the
+earliest account of beer brewing dates as far back as 1086 A. D. Poland
+and Prussia were addicted to the barley juice before the time of modern
+civilization and honored a special god of beer, _Raugunzemapat_, whose
+name is derived from _rugti_, to ferment, and literally signifies
+the god of fermentation. In Bavaria, where, under Roman influence,
+wine growing had attained an important place which it was destined
+afterwards to lose, beer was commonly known within the first thousand
+years of the present era and is mentioned by Voehrung, 816, and
+others. According to Graesse it was a dull brown and reddish drink and
+soured easily. In the more primitive districts oats were used as the
+basis, and only “upper-ferment” beer was made. In the latter part of
+the middle ages the process by “under fermentation” was discovered,
+its origin, according to Professor Holzner of Weihenstephan, being
+in one of the monasteries. From this point beer brewing increased
+vigorously until Bohemian competition and Bohemian hops gave it a
+staggering check. In the southern countries of Europe beer does not
+easily give place to wine though hard pushed, while in Asia and Africa
+the inhabitants use their traditionary drink from one generation to
+another, and in Egypt especially, the Arabs acquired a taste for the
+beer of the Copts. Such was the condition of things when the dawn of a
+new age showed itself on the horizon.
+
+“The characteristic of a period is found essentially in its variation
+from the adjacent epochs, and that of the one under consideration has
+been already indicated. But beside the scientific researches, that
+had very little connection with trade, there grew up a descriptive
+literature that stands in close relation to the first general empire
+of beer. To suppose that the present age is the first time of real
+triumph for the liquor of Gambrinus, shows a very superficial knowledge
+of the history of civilization, for apart from the Egyptian and
+Celtic-Germanic beer epochs, which were somewhat local, we have already
+long passed the real first period of success which fell in the time of
+the _Renaissance_. In those days the brown flood spread out not merely
+over Germany, England and Belgium, but into the far corners of recently
+discovered countries; in village taverns and _rathskellers_ peasants
+and citizens drank themselves full and merry. At the high schools the
+students already went to the _kneipen_ with their rapiers (_spiessen_)
+and swords, studied and rioted behind the tin can, and in the banquet
+halls of princes and the cabinets of noble ladies, the barley juice
+was a favorite beverage, not swallowed hastily from tumblers, but
+taken with deliberation and full enjoyment from deep, wide-mouthed
+mugs or tankards. Seven maas a day was the allowance for a lady of
+high rank.[2] About the end of the seventeenth century the increasing
+use of brandy and coffee put a stop to this immoderate consumption,
+as at the same time the influence of France and the colonies with
+their new dishes and resulting change of tastes, brought about the
+progress from middle age cookery to that of modern times, and as the
+Gustavus Adolphus boots and wide-brimmed plumed hats gave place to silk
+stockings and perukes. The present age witnesses the second triumph of
+Gambrinus, a triumph perhaps even greater than the first, for though
+the capacity of individuals is far from equal to that of the men of
+the Renaissance, except in the case of some academic beer soakers and
+Munich _Danaidenfaesser_ (bottomless vessels), yet the distribution of
+beer is more extensive, more general and more uniform. The consumption
+in Europe alone has increased tenfold within fifty years and grows
+constantly. In the first quarter of this century the wave spread from
+Bavaria farther and farther over the whole map of Europe, and about
+twenty years ago a new source was opened in Austria, and the Vienna
+beer flowed through the canals which the Bavarian product had opened.
+
+[2] Sieben Maas Bier per Tag vors graefliche Frauenzimmer war
+Vorschrift.
+
+This first epoch stands in close relation with the general abounding
+strength of that period of civilization. Adventurous sailors and
+explorers had broken the bonds of the known earth, plain men had dared
+to enter the lists with that hierarchy, to attack which had been held
+profanation; art had thrown aside the old traditions and brought out
+the old master-works, the world of scholars had torn itself loose
+from petrified scholasticism and turned to the ancient classics,
+and, as in most branches of science, so also in chemistry, there was
+a genuine revolution, and it was studied in reference to medicine
+almost as assiduously as it had previously been in the search for the
+philosopher’s stone. New inquiries were set on foot, old problems
+revived and attacked from a new point of view, and among these the
+subjects of yeast and fermentation played an important part. Not
+many decades have passed since the practical brewer found neither
+interest nor profit in theories of fermentation, and especially all
+chemical and physical discussion of his work and processes. The
+purely scientific style which too often had very little reference to
+the practical man, and the various contradictory views and learned
+controversies were not calculated to attract the interest of the beer
+brewer. Scholars discussed and disputed, the man of trade brewed and
+coopered, and neither paid any attention to the other. Now the case is
+very different. Intelligent and thoughtful brewers have been forced to
+admit that an insight into the nature of the materials they use, and
+the changes these undergo while in their hands will not merely enlarge
+their intellectual horizon, but be of great practical use in their
+business, and in consequence are found keenly alive to the progress of
+scientific inquiry.
+
+Some reference has already been made to the empirical knowledge of the
+earlier ages. Even Pliny’s often quoted “_Palam est naturam (farinæ)
+acore fermentari_” is merely a summary of the result of observation.
+Noah’s wine making, the leaven[3] of the Jews and such like may be left
+to special history. The word _fermentum_ as used by the alchemists
+has no very definite meaning; in general their explanation is to the
+effect that by means of the ferment a purifying and refining process
+is set in action—and hence many efforts were made to discover a
+general ferment by whose instrumentality it would become possible
+among other things, to transform the baser metals into gold. For this
+reason they often use the word _fermentum_ to indicate the anxiously
+sought “philosopher’s stone.”[4] The indefinite character of the word
+is mentioned by Petrus Bonus of Ferrara (1345): “_Apud philosophos
+fermentum dupliciter videtur dici: uno modo ipse lapis philosophorum
+ex suis elementis compositus et completus, in comparatione ad metalla;
+alio modo illud quod est perficiens lapidem et ipsum complens_,” and
+Raymond Lull’s definition, “_Fili, fermentum est corpus perfectum,
+subtiliatum et alteratum per potestatem convertentium_,” has the
+predicate so indefinite as to give no real information. We add another
+quotation from the same author merely to show further the jargon these
+men of learning were accustomed to use. He writes “_Fili, præparatio
+istius est, quod illud sit transactum primo per naturæ principalia
+controvertentia, antequam de isto facias fermentationem, quia illud
+fiat principio pulvis calcinatus per coagulationem et quarto sublimatus
+per separationem._” George Ripley’s consideration of the subject
+calls for no special notice, but the views of Basilius Valentinus
+who wrote in the latter half of the fifteenth century will be found
+more interesting. He held fermentation to be a purification by means
+of which the spirit of wine that already existed in a fluid was put
+in condition to act, unfermented beer being dead, “because existing
+impurities prevent the spirit from doing its work. Yeast induces in
+beer an internal quickening that advances of itself and results in a
+division and segregation of the clear and muddy elements, and after
+this separation _puri ab impuro_ the spirit can accomplish its duty
+successfully, as appears from the subsequent power of the liquor to
+produce intoxication.” Valentine is the last in the series of scholars
+who though belonging chronologically to a previous epoch must from
+the nature and relations of their inquiries be reckoned as belonging
+to the new era. It is not in the history of progress as in that of
+politics where two adjacent periods can be sharply defined and their
+limits assigned to exact dates. Progress goes on gradually, modifying
+or adding to what has already existed, and we do not clearly notice
+the transformation until it is complete or at least far advanced. So
+it was in this case. Far back in the middle ages men turned their
+attention to the “ferment” and to fermentation. Much was written, much
+nonsense and humbug published; almost no results were attained, but
+the beginning was made. Men of the later time grasped the collected
+material, regulated and systematized the inquiry and vied with each
+other in its prosecution. Struggle and activity were then so universal
+that there was a disposition to consider fermentation a special branch
+of chemistry, and after treating of the fermentation of wine, beer,
+vinegar, etc., it was suggested that the whole vital process might be
+nothing more than a continual fermentation.

+
+[Illustration: View of a Brewery connected with a convent in Bohemia
+(14th century), as described by Thaddeus Hagecius ab Hayek, 1585, in
+his book, written in Latin, under the title, _De cerevisia_.]
+
+Notwithstanding all that has been said it seems best to date the new
+epoch definitely from the beginning of the sixteenth century, and this
+although we can reckon no names or events of importance in the year
+1501, and must pass over a number of decades to reach Libarius the
+first theorist of the second epoch. The reasons for such a division
+are various, partly to remove as far as possible all uncertainty from
+the discussion, partly because at that memorable time the general
+break with blind tradition and the development of new intellectual
+and social conditions took place in such a manner as to have a direct
+influence on the history of beer and so connect the general revolution
+with the province of zymotechnic inquiry. If we date from Libarius we
+commit an anachronism, for he stands in the full light of the new era.
+In short, beer and its history are so intimately related to social
+life and its development that we cannot consider the former alone
+and without regard to the latter. The oldest book in this sort of
+literature at present known, was published in 1530, under the title,
+“An Excellent Little Book of the Making of Wine and Beer so that they
+may be Useful and Wholesome to Man. Printed at Erfurt by Melchior
+Sachssen at Noah’s Ark.”[5] In 1551, a scholar (Plocotamus) wrote “_De
+natura cerevisiarum et de mulso_,” and somewhat later (1585) Thaddeus
+Hagecius ab Hayek wrote in Latin a work with the title “_De cerevisia
+ejusque conficiendi ratione, natura, viribus et facultatibus_.” More
+important than any of these is a book written in German by Heinrich
+Knaust, its value consisting not so much in historical deductions as
+in a review, grounded on the personal knowledge of the author, of the
+facts regarding beer in his time. It is chiefly through this volume
+that we are able to form a clear conception of the high development and
+actual power of beer at the end of the sixteenth century. On the first
+page of the book the master wrote in a style thoroughly characteristic
+of the period with its swelling, stilted bombast and magniloquence,
+the famous title, “Five Books of the Divine and Noble Gift of the
+Philosophical, Precious and Admirable Art of Beer Brewing. Also of the
+names of the most Admirable Beers in all Germany, and of their Natures,
+Temperaments, Qualities, Individual Characters, Wholesomeness, and
+Unwholesomeness, whether wheat or barley, white or red beer, spiced
+or not spiced. Newly revised and much Fuller and More Perfect than
+the former edition. By Master Heinrich Knaust, Doctor of Law and of
+Medicine. Published at Erfurt by George Baumann, 1575, in the twelfth
+month.”[6] As a matter of curiosity we reproduce his view of the origin
+of beer. According to this the men before the deluge ate herbs and
+vegetables and drank water, and he thinks it strange that they should
+ever have plucked up heart to become saucy on such a diet. “After the
+deluge they received the gift of wine, and where no vines grew God
+taught them to make a drink of wheat and barley that was both healthful
+and agreeable and as well fitted to strengthen and support the human
+system as wine itself.”

+When a well known physician of Berlin, Dr. F. G. Zimmerman, felt
+himself compelled to declare beer a poison, it was Abraham A. Santa
+Clara of Vienna who, in his “History of the Discovery of Beer,”
+entitled “Something for All,” 1710, spoke as follows: “Noah planted
+the first vineyard and the culture of the vine afterwards spread all
+over the world, but as some climates are too harsh for the grape and
+prevent its ripening, human ingenuity was forced to discover another
+drink which should not merely quench thirst, but like wine excite the
+brain.[7] Among the Germans it is called beer, and its brewing requires
+a special experience, so that the men of this craft are not counted
+least among workmen.” So said also Ehinger, Fritsch, Germershausen,
+Gleditsch, Heuman, Hofman, Sensky, Solms and Trafenreuter. In all
+this scientific and learned emulation in the matter of fermentation
+(zymologie) we learn plainly enough that even the representatives
+of science did not confine their attention to a purely theoretical
+consideration of the barley juice, but hid the contents of many a can
+and mug behind their wide stiff collars, the clergy taking their full
+share in this part of the discussion. Luther’s fondness for beer is
+well known, and on the evening of that eventful day at Worms, April
+18, 1521, the Duke Erich von Braunschweig, sent him a pot of Eimbecker
+beer, to which he was specially addicted. The students, whether of
+medicine or theology, used every effort to follow faithfully the
+illustrious example, whence perhaps it comes that the youth of the
+high schools and universities, wedded to tradition, still delight to
+hang about the inviting, wide-yawning door of the cool beer cellar.
+In the Renaissance, however, the last trace of the _Biercomment_ and
+_Bierspielen_ was finally lost.
+
+[7] Der Noë hat zwar den ersten Weinstock gepflantzt welches Gewuechs

+anderes Trunk erfunden welches nicht allein den Durst loeschet sondern
+gleich dem Wein, auch den Tuermel in den Kopf bringt.

+
+Beer was retailed in beer-houses and vaults, and in warm weather before
+the door, and places which had the hereditary right of brewing also
+sold beer occasionally in the living room of the house, and announced
+the fact by a mat-weed stuck horizontally above the door. In this
+custom we see plainly enough the origin of the later shop signs. In
+Oberpfalz (the Upper Palatinate), in the Schwarzwald (Black Forest),
+and elsewhere, even now when a privileged brewer wishes to give notice
+that he will sell on draught, he hangs up a broom or a triangle of fir
+boughs. The publicans of a later time simply exchange this primitive
+advertisement for the more durable ones of tin and iron. Before the
+windows of the pot houses were folding tables at which the wagoners
+usually preferred to drink, and the wandering bands, of whom there was
+then an immense number, were accustomed to seat themselves at these
+same tables and pass the time in riotous talk and games of dice until
+the “beer bell” of the place broke up the assembly and drove them to
+their homes and to the inn.[9] When a fair was held the women dealers
+in refreshments (Kretschenweiber) took possession of the benches and
+sold their beer there in cups of tin, stone or wood, while bread, meat,
+sausages, cheese, etc., were brought from the neighboring stands of the
+butchers and bakers, for even then people liked to do their business
+where wine and beer were close at hand. On any occasion of public
+festivity beer booths were a prime necessity, bagpipes and fiddles
+were not wanting and a lusty, merry throng danced in the open space
+between the crowded benches and tables. The Netherlandish painters have
+left us hundreds of cabinet pictures of these festivities and of the
+manner and fashion in which they were carried on, and their delightful
+and characteristic variations of the theme enable us to form a vivid
+conception of what it must have been. Especially worthy of notice in
+this respect are Teniers, (whose “Yearly Market”[10] in the Munich
+Pinakothek contains 1138 human figures, 45 horses, 67 asses, 37 dogs,
+etc., curiously crowded in a jovial throng,) P. Brueghel, the Ostades,
+Brower, Jan Steen, who from a fancy for this sort of life himself
+became a tavern keeper, and Rubens, whose sketches in this sort are
+strikingly good. During the “Thirty Years War,” that is, at the very
+culminating point of the epoch, tobacco came into use and the now
+inseparable pair, “beer and tobacco,” played an important rôle together
+even then. Barley and “mixed corn” (rye and wheat, barley and oats,
+oats and rye,) were chiefly used for brewing purposes, but there were
+always those who preferred plant beer. It is interesting to know that
+pitch was supposed to give the product of fermentation a better keeping
+quality.
+
+[9] See the Civil Law of Erfurt.
+
+[10] The picture is eight feet high and twelve feet wide.
+
+We must not omit to mention that this beer worship was not so well
+developed in South Germany where it is now best marked, as in North
+Germany. Saxony, the Mark and Pomerania were mentioned as “the great
+drinking countries.” There was a swarm of names celebrated in beer,
+and Knaust’s book shows that it was held no small credit to have drunk
+various noted kinds of beer where they were made. There was a Lubeck
+Israel, an old Klaus (Brandenburg), a Goslauer Gose, a Hanover Braehan,
+a Soltzman at Saltzwedel, a Rastrun at Leipsic, beer of Corvey, beer of
+Harlem, Dantzic brew, Eimbecker brew, and many others.[11] Of English
+beer, Hersford (Kamma) and the Yorkshire ale were chiefly esteemed.
+Most celebrated of all, however, was the Braunschweig _Mumme_, named
+for its discoverer, Christian Mumme (1492). By the side of these
+brewing celebrities the old beer cities of the middle ages had retained
+their character into the time of the Renaissance, as for instance,
+Hamburg, with its wheat beer,[12] and others; and many places made
+every effort to reach a similar position, partly by the adoption of new
+methods, and partly by the enlargement and increase of beer breweries.
+In Nuremberg, for instance, the first white beer was brewed in 1541; in
+Vienna the brewery with a hundred towers was built in 1564; breweries
+were erected at Gumpendorf in 1689, and at St. Marx in 1706; and in
+1633 there were established at Freiburg six malt-houses and twelve
+breweries.
+
+[11] To these should be added the celebrated beers of Cottbus, and the
+Karthuser of Frankfort on the Oder.—_Author._
+
+[12] Wheat beer played an important rôle in the thirty years war.
+Wallenstein himself was very much addicted to its use.
+
+The important beer privileges that had been so eagerly grasped by
+the monasteries and cities in the middle ages, were by hereditary
+right brought over into the new era. The landed estates of the nobles
+received back in 1517 the privileges which had been so long kept
+from them, and by this means all obstacles were removed from the
+beer traffic which had reached so hopeful a development during the
+middle ages, and it became possible for it to develop to an extent of
+which our own time need not be ashamed. Now it is no great matter to
+transport beer from Vienna to Paris by rail and in iced compartments,
+but we can not but admire the successful enterprise that in those
+days and with such means of transportation as existed, could export
+Eimbecker beer to Lombardy as described by the Italian Arnoldus of
+Villanova in 1594, and even to Alexandria and Cairo. Nuremberg was one
+of the great centers of the beer trade. Rostock and Lubeck supplied all
+England and sent not less than 800,000 barrels yearly to that country
+until the business was checked by a marked increase in the quantity
+brewed by the English themselves. A number of the large English
+breweries were founded about this time.
+
+In the households of the reigning princes, there was a strong tendency
+to supplement the native brew by imported products, and at such
+festivities as marriages, christenings, target-shooting and hunting,
+immense quantities of drink were swallowed. The cellar ordinance of
+Duke Ernst the Pious, in 1648, allowed for ladies of noble rank four
+_maas_ of beer a day, and three _maas_ for a “nightcap.” How much ought
+in such circumstances to be the allowance for a man of similar rank,
+and of his hangers on is left to the imagination of the reader.
+
+Noble families that had no brew-houses were obliged to supply
+themselves from the brewery of the prince. A beer tax also was levied
+on vassals who brewed their own beer. An excellent illustration of
+the condition of things is afforded by the celebrated Hofbrauhaus at
+Munich, in whose whitewashed rooms every stranger still takes at least
+one _maas_. As early as the time of Louis the Severe, there existed a
+little court brewery at Munich near the _Burggasse_, but towards the
+end of the sixteenth century, the demand increasing and the facilities
+for production having long been inadequate, William V. proceeded to
+the building of the present brew-house, which was at first intended
+only for the making of white beer, the brown being still made in the
+old quarters. In 1708, however, brown beer also began to be made in
+the new establishment. This topic is treated in a stereotyped article
+which appears every year in the May number of the Munich Beer Gazette,
+under the title “Bock article,” and gives the worshipful bock-drinking
+community a solemn and moving account of the court brewery and its
+products down to the minutest particulars. As regards bock itself,
+which is no longer an exclusive specialty of Munich, as a drink under
+the same name is sold every year in various cities, Graesse places
+its origin in the seventeenth century, and suggests that it was an
+imitation of the Eimbecker beer,—the last rather in virtue of a general
+theory and of a supposed play on words, Eimbeck, Aimbock Bock—than
+as an actual fact.[13] He says that “the Munich Aimbock or Bock was
+made before 1616, the same that is now sold at the beginning of May on
+Corpus Christi day.” Now, however, it has been shown that all through
+the second half of the sixteenth century (1553-1574) Aimpecker and
+Eimbecker beer was spoken of, and that there was an import of beer to
+Vienna from Eimbeck as late as 1771, while no trace of any play of
+words on the name is discovered. Moreover, that the “bock cellar”[14]
+(on the place of the present Restaurant Bonner) was in full operation
+at the beginning of the present century, is shown by Chr. Mueller
+who wrote under Max Joseph, and described the manners of the place
+very nearly as they were to be observed recently, just before the
+disappearance of this historical locality, and it is doubtless the
+fact that the larger half of the reputation of Munich beer is due to
+this specialty. Graesse, speaking of the high reputation of Bavarian
+beer, in which he includes as a matter of course that of Munich, is
+of the opinion that the general preference for it does not reach
+back farther than the early part of this century, and produces some
+important evidence to support this view of the case. On the other hand
+it is to be claimed in opposition that in such a discussion a careful
+distinction is to be made between Bavarian beer and Munich beer, since
+the renown of the first is relatively new and hardly goes to the first
+twenty years of the century, and its export did not begin in Munich,
+and also because that city has not yet been able to attain to the first
+rank as an exporter of beer. The reputation of Munich beer is older,
+for Mueller (1816) speaks of it as celebrated, and complains that
+the excellence of the native product is far surpassed by that of the
+Toelzer and Dachauer beers, and that the latter prevail in the Munich
+beer shops. This statement corresponds with the unfortunate situation
+of the beer interest that was inherited from the previous century,
+and that forces us to go back to the seventeenth century for a time
+of unquestioned supremacy for beer. In connection with this subject
+should be mentioned the successful founding of the Munich Court Brewery
+by William V. at the end of the sixteenth century, and these same old
+rooms should be regarded as the center and starting point where the
+fame of Munich beer was born and nourished, and where even through
+all the epoch of perukes and cues, after the fall of the monasteries
+that had contributed so much to the reputation of Munich beer, it was
+preserved from decay.
+
+[13] The Munich “Fremdenblatt” has lately expressed the same view.

+
+In the seventeenth century, in the time of Louis XIV., all Germany fell
+under the sway of French influence. There were French conversation,
+prayers and oaths, French amusements and French sins, French eating
+and drinking. An effort to imitate all the French fashions that the
+cavaliers brought from Paris was a characteristic of the sad season
+that followed, a time sad for patriots, sad for beer brewers and for
+beer. Beer was _une boisson de commun_. The beautifully ornamented
+mugs and beakers were put away in the lumber-room (_rumpel kammer_)
+and champagne glasses from Paris took their place. At evening, where
+formerly the jovial barons and their chief followers had encamped round
+the carved-oak table and laid a strong grasp on the mug—there was now
+a service of cakes and tea, and where formerly milk and pepper or beer
+was used as a morning draught, the coffee breakfast constantly acquired
+more use and repute. The common people, however, stood fast for the old
+way, and were never better pleased than when the privileged beer came
+to honor. At this time, too, the change of rôles took place, and South
+Germany entered on its new and important course at the beginning of the
+present century. (The brewery at St. Marx was built in 1710, and in
+1732 there were three brew-houses at Schwechat.)
+
+It is as if the minds of men slumbered long, only to come at once into
+a never suspected activity. In the midst of the tumult we find Balling,
+Dreher, Sedlmayer, Kaiser, Otto and many others. Everything in brewing
+is changed. Laboratories spring out of the ground and discoveries and
+inventions come in countless numbers, brewing journals are started,
+schools opened, fairs and associations multiply, and all in the space
+of a single half century.

+
+ CHAPTER IV.
+
+ MODERN HISTORY OF BEER.
+
+
+From the account already given, it will be seen that beer not only
+took an early hold on the affections of the people, but kept its
+position wherever it was introduced. It is now well established in
+every civilized country and plays so important a part in the economy of
+nations that a review of the light in which it is regarded by different
+governments cannot fail to be both interesting and useful.
+
+In Germany the state uses every possible means to provide good,
+wholesome beer for the people. It is the habitual beverage of most
+of the population, used by them at their meals and their places of
+amusement, cheering but not intoxicating, and rendering them temperate,
+industrious, healthy and contented, a people whose bravery is beyond
+question, and whose peaceable yet progressive qualities tend to make
+the nation powerful, and its government respected at home and abroad.
+And yet an advance by the government of half a cent a quart on the
+price of beer has in years not long passed caused a serious riot.
+Cheap, wholesome beer is considered a necessity of life, and the
+attempt to increase its cost an interference with the primary rights of
+the community.
+
+In Austro-Hungary, too, for many years government supervision has
+secured the production of pure beer, which is sold at a very moderate
+price. Some of the breweries are very large and the product is by
+many held to be unsurpassed in quality. That of Vienna and Pilsen, in
+particular, is universally known and esteemed. Beer is thoroughly the
+national drink, and the beer gardens of Vienna are the resort of all
+classes, from the Emperor down to his private soldiers.
+
+The most important men of the empire have extensive breweries, and
+among the great Austro-Hungarian brewers we find such names as Anton
+Dreher of Schwechat near Vienna, Count Arco Valley of Zell, Upper
+Austria, Count Arco Zinneburg of Kaltenhausen, Count Thurn Valsassina
+of Sorgendorf, and in Bohemia Count Thun Hohenstein of Alt Benatek,
+His Majesty the Emperor Franz Josef, Prince Carl Hohenzollern, Prince
+Trautmansdorf, Prince Josef Mansfeld, Prince J. A. Schwartzenberg,
+Prince Max Thurn Taxis, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Rudolf Count von
+Schoteck and many others.
+
+A correspondent says: “At Trieste the drinking of beer is universal;
+from infancy to age light wine and beer are the common beverages.”
+He states that on Saturday night a pretty large number of laboring
+people are “jolly drunk,” but not savage drunk. The latter condition is
+unknown except among English and American sailors visiting the port.
+Among the better classes no instance is known of a merchant, lawyer,
+physician, shop-keeper, or master-mechanic becoming an inebriate and
+gradually losing position, prosperity and business, and sinking into
+a drunkard’s grave. Sometimes an Englishman or American has ruined
+himself by the use of spirits—not of wine or beer.
+
+Holland has brewed good beer for centuries, and though this country
+has been better known as a producer of gin, the national beverage is
+certainly beer. Professors Tilamus and Swingar of Amsterdam, and the
+Secretary of the “Netherlands Society for the Abolition of Spirituous
+Drinks,” say that gin drinking is no longer respectable, and they
+recommend beer as a daily beverage. The beer gardens of Amsterdam and
+Rotterdam are very widely known. Good bands are provided and people of
+all ranks congregate to sip beer, smoke, talk, or listen to the music.
+On his first visit to these places the writer made careful inquiries
+as to the consumption of gin and other spirits, and was agreeably
+surprised to learn that their use was practically confined to the
+lowest classes and that beer was the common beverage. To find a drunken
+man it was necessary to go to the docks and wharves, among the Irish
+and American sailors. Nine-tenths of the gin manufactured is exported
+to the United States, and most of its use at home is for medical
+purposes.
+
+The little kingdom of Belgium ranks next Bavaria as a beer consuming
+country. There are three kinds of beer—Mars, a light beer and generally
+used by the laboring class, Lambic, strong and light, and the Faro,
+a mixture of Mars and Lambic. Brussels and Antwerp have some of the
+finest beer gardens in the world, which furnish music to their patrons
+equal to the best, and the general habits of the people are temperate.
+Drunkenness is hardly found even among the lower classes.
+
+Spain even is becoming a beer-drinking country. The beer formerly
+consumed there was imported from England, Germany and Austria, and
+in 1869 all the breweries in the country did not produce 500,000
+liters, equal to 132,062 gallons, while the returns of the year 1878
+show a production of over 4,750,000 liters, or 1,254,594 gallons—an
+astonishing increase in a wine producing country—and the beer brewed at
+the Santa Barbara brewery at Madrid is taking the lead of the imported
+article.
+
+Sweden and Norway also recognize the necessity of providing a wholesome
+stimulant for the people, and for more than a hundred and fifty years
+their respective governments have given attention to the matter. Not
+long ago patents for the manufacture of ardent spirits, which had
+long been held among the nobility, were revoked, and an attempt made
+to secure temperance through the more common use of malt liquors. Mr.
+George Hayward, then proprietor of the celebrated Lion Brewery at
+London, England,[15] was engaged by the government to superintend the
+introduction of improved beer in Sweden, and the experiment proved a
+thorough success. As beer increased drunkenness diminished, and both
+government and people have recognized the benefits of malt liquors.
+According to figures lately furnished by Dr. Ellis Sodenbladh of the
+Swedish statistical bureau, beer brewing has attained the position of a
+leading industry in that country. The annual product exceeds twenty-six
+million gallons, and this result is largely due to an increased tax on
+spirits and the remission of all taxation on beer, which may now be
+fairly considered the national beverage.
+
+[15] Mr. Hayward died a short time ago at Albany, N. Y.
+
+Denmark formerly consumed great quantities of ardent spirits, the
+amount used in proportion to the population being even greater than in
+the prohibitory state of Maine. The introduction of the excellent beer
+made by Jacobsen at Carlsberg brought about an entire change. Beer is
+now the drink of the country and public feeling is strongly opposed to
+the use of whisky. The people have become remarkable for quiet and good
+order, and the police magistrates of the larger cities, as Copenhagen
+and Elsinore report that for a long time no cases of murder, homicide
+or theft brought before them have been traced to the influence of
+strong drink. Arrests for street disorder are very rare and chiefly
+confined among the foreign seamen. The consumption of beer is about
+twenty gallons annually to the individual, and this amount seems to
+produce only favorable effects, as the people are a strong, hardy race
+with an average longevity far above that of the United States. The
+advantages of all kinds that have followed the general introduction of
+beer are very remarkable.
+
+In Russia, a commission was some time ago appointed to investigate
+the question of drunkenness in the empire. The use of strong ardent
+spirits had been almost universal. Drunkards were not to be reckoned by
+individuals or even families. Whole districts were plunged in habits
+of brutal intoxication and this national pest demoralized the armies,
+filled poor-houses and hospitals, the lunatic asylums and the prisons.
+
+As a result of the labors of this commission, and in accordance with
+the unanimous report of its members, the Czar has recently conferred
+very valuable privileges on those who establish breweries in his
+dominions. The object being to secure for the people good beer at a low
+price, all taxes on beer and articles used in its manufacture have been
+abolished, while the use of ardent spirits is still further checked by
+the imposition of heavy duties on all introduced to the country, and
+severe taxes on its manufacture or sale; and[16] whenever the crop of
+barley turns out to be light, the government prohibits exporting the
+same.
+
+[16] Owing to a light crop the Russian government has prohibited the
+export of barley for the current year, 1879.
+
+In Greece, breweries are springing up about Athens and the Piræus, and
+all over the Levant and the neighboring islands, and the _ek krithon
+methu_ (barley wine) of olden times is going to be the ordinary
+beverage of the people instead of the rather strong wines that the
+country produces.
+
+In France during the reign of Napoleon III., it was discovered that
+the ardent spirits most in use were so adulterated as to produce
+serious injury to consumers apart from that which always attends the
+free use of these liquors. Spirits were used to a much greater extent
+than could be justified on any sound principle. The Emperor, whose
+practical judgment was excellent in matters not immediately affecting
+his own ambition, offered inducements to English and German brewers to
+establish themselves in the country and the consumption of beer was
+increased with very advantageous results. The change has already gone
+so far as to alarm the wine merchants, and according to the “British
+Mercantile Gazette” the consumption in Paris alone now reaches one
+hundred million _liter_ bottles _per annum_ or nearly half a pint a day
+to every Parisian, which is not bad for a beginning. The beer used,
+however, is still chiefly of foreign manufacture, the lager beer coming
+chiefly from Vienna and Bavaria, and the ale from Alsopp and Bass. Some
+American brewers of New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis received gold
+medals at Paris for the excellence of their beer, and are now shipping
+considerable quantities to that place.
+
+Americans who have lately been in France must usually have been
+surprised to notice how _bogk_ (lager beer) is already the common
+beverage in the fashionable _cafés_ of the chief cities.
+
+Some leading French savants trace a direct connection between the free
+use of beer and the national greatness and indomitable personal courage
+of their opponents in the late war, and hope by the development of
+the brewing interest to add to the traditional virtues of Frenchmen
+some of those displayed in the neighboring empire. The notion may be
+rather fine spun, but the actual benefit of the development of a home
+industry in beer will be none the less, and it cannot be doubted that
+their end will be at least partially attained, though perhaps not in
+so direct a fashion as they suppose. Monsieur Lunier has just brought
+before the French Academy of Medicine, some very interesting statistics
+on the use of fermented and other liquors. According to him, wine is
+still the national drink. The consumption of cider is diminishing,
+although still large, and brandy is much used to facilitate the
+digestion of cider. The more cider, the more brandy. The quantity of
+beer used, has considerably increased in most of the Departments,
+and he proves conclusively that most cases of accidental death in
+consequence of excess, occur in the departments where there is most
+drinking of spirits, that apprehensions for drunkenness are five times
+as numerous in these Departments as in those where wine is chiefly
+used, that drunkenness in the beer-drinking regions is hardly known,
+and that alcoholic insanity is almost everywhere in proportion to the
+consumption of ardent spirits. The only exceptions are La Vendée and
+Charente Inferieure where they drink only white wines, but use them in
+immoderate quantities.
+
+French brewers are now engaged in forming an association and the first
+meeting has been announced to take place at Toulouse, in the late
+autumn of the present year (1879). The _Industriel de Lyon_ speaks of
+the matter as follows:
+
+“In consequence of their number, and as representing forty-two
+departments, the brewers who should support this association are most
+influential. They would, by means of combination, be able to properly
+protect their important industry, and struggle against errors of the
+past, such as excise regulations, octroi, etc. Besides the meetings of
+the Syndicate, whether held at Toulouse or Lyons, might take up general
+economical questions of interest to its members, and also deal with
+the fabrication of beer, malting, and the scientific phenomena, which
+are more numerous and complex than is imagined. Brewing, it is further
+asserted, is an industry of the future. Beer is a drink of progress
+on account of its refreshing and especially nutritive qualities.
+To produce beer cheap, appetizing to the eye, and agreeable to the
+stomach, is the program which the brewers of the South have in view,
+and which they must strive energetically to carry out if they wish
+to compete at all successfully with the German beers. The phylloxera
+is not an eternal enemy. Sooner or later science will neutralize its
+effects.
+
+“In the South of France, therefore, the opinion is held that the
+greatest care should be given to the production of beer. Besides,
+people in the South do not drink the good wine which they produce; they
+export it. Money is more valuable to them than good wine. Inferior
+wine, however, remains, and is consumed to a great extent. We are of
+opinion that beer would offer to all considerable advantages; and
+therefore it is desirable that the brewing industry in the South of
+France should be developed in the fullest possible manner.”
+
+In England about the year 1833 the use of intoxicating liquors had
+increased to such a point that government applied itself to the
+discovery of some means of diminishing the consumption. The Duke
+of Wellington, whose long career as a soldier on the continent and
+elsewhere had taught him the beneficial influence of beer, and who
+saw clearly the amount of misery and degradation caused among his
+countrymen by the use of distilled liquors, introduced while Prime
+Minister, the well known “Beer Bill.” Its passage was urged distinctly
+on the ground that a free consumption of beer would greatly diminish
+the use of spirits. The Duke himself strongly advocated the bill and
+instanced the continental beer-drinking countries as the happiest and
+most temperate on the globe.
+
+On the other hand the so-called temperance men appeared in large
+deputations to urge (against all reason) that whatever beer might be
+consumed would be in addition to the previous consumption of ardent
+spirits and not in place of it, or any part of it, that intoxication
+would be increased in a ratio correspondent to the amount of beer used,
+and in short that the proposed plan of reform was much like an attempt
+to quench fire by pouring on oil. The bill, however, was at last passed
+by a large majority and has proved very successful. The consumption
+of beer has largely increased, distilled liquors are less used, and,
+notwithstanding the assertions of some over-zealous partisans of total
+abstinence, we can prove by statistics carefully collected that the
+amount of drunkenness in the country began to decrease immediately
+after the passage of the bill. William E. Gladstone, the great English
+statesman who, in the year 1868-9, carried through Parliament an act
+intended to promote the cause of temperance by cheapening wine and
+beer and making their sale part of the business of restaurants and
+confectioners’ shops, wrote a short time ago as follows: “I am opposed
+to coffee and tea palaces as I believe they are more deteriorating than
+beer shops. The stimulating properties of coffee or tea are greater and
+more injurious than those of malt liquors.”
+
+The course advocated by the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Gladstone has
+been fully justified by the results. Drunkenness has decreased and
+breweries have multiplied. The measure of advantage is to be found in
+the increase of large breweries whose product is distributed through
+many channels, for these furnish what is to take the place of the
+ardent spirit formerly consumed when one was away from home or wanted a
+change from the home-brewed ale to which he was accustomed. They also
+attract the favor of the poorer classes because they furnish so much
+more in bulk and nutritive power at the same or a less price.
+
+There are, however, many small breweries, such as those attached
+to country inns or to private houses. Some breweries also confine
+their business to supplying families with pale and table ales, stout
+or porter, in small barrels of four and a half, nine, and eighteen
+gallons. The number of breweries in Great Britain—aside from those
+which are strictly for private use—is, according to official returns,
+twenty-six thousand, two hundred and fourteen, which it will be seen is
+about nine times the number in the United States. The cost of good ale
+is about one shilling sterling a gallon.
+
+[Illustration: M. T. BASS, ESQ. MP.
+
+THE GREAT BURTON-ON-TRENT BREWER, ENGLAND.]
+
+It is worthy of notice that the brewers of England are distinguished
+for a wise generosity and public spirit, and such men as Charington,
+Fox, Meux, Alsopp, Hanbury, Buxton, Mann, Truman, Guinness, Walker
+and Bass,[17] will be long remembered for the magnificent charities
+that ennoble and perpetuate their names. To a greater or less degree
+the same characteristic comes to light in every country where beer
+is established as the popular beverage. Jacobsen, a brewer of
+Copenhagen, before his death set aside $280,000 to found a laboratory
+of scientific research. A part of the money is to be spent in keeping
+up the laboratories attached to his brewery, in which chemical and
+physiological researches are carried on with a view to establish as
+completely as possible a scientific basis for brewing and malting.
+
+[17] Michael Thomas Bass, the senior member of Parliament for Derby, is
+best known as the largest brewer in the world. He is now over eighty
+years old, and has been engaged in the brewery business founded by his
+grandfather for about sixty-two years. He was educated at the Buxton
+Grammar School, and has supplemented this early instruction by a course
+of reading that leaves him not at all behind many University men in
+the matter of scholarly attainments. He has always been noted for the
+efficient discharge of his public and private duties, and has for more
+than thirty years represented the old town of Derby as senior member
+of Parliament. His public and private gifts have been frequent and
+munificent, the last of importance being a free library for the town of
+Derby.
+
+The generous juice of barley, seems to draw out the more kindly and
+human feelings of all who have their dealings in it. Can any such thing
+be said of distilled liquors?
+
+The late Khedive of Egypt, who has done more for the advancement of
+that country than any other ruler since the time of the Pharaohs,
+perceived the advantages to be gained by the introduction of beer, and
+granted very valuable privileges to a company of Swiss brewers, whose
+establishment is now in full and successful operation at Cairo. The
+consumption is chiefly in the cities which are largely inhabited by
+Europeans, generally disposed to drink beer if it is good and readily
+attainable, but sure to use stronger drinks if the beer is wanting, and
+perhaps, from the circumstance of residence at a distance from home,
+more apt to use any intoxicating liquor to excess.
+
+Japan, a kingdom hardly known to us twenty-five years ago, and now
+recognized as one of the most highly civilized in the world, has thus
+far suffered very little from intoxicating drinks. Native stimulants
+have been used, and in some cases have proved as injurious as strong
+whisky, though perhaps more strictly harmful to the individual, and
+less so to his family and the community. The people are by nature and
+education gentle and polite, and their social manners are in many
+particulars a lesson to Europeans. They are usually temperate in all
+things, happy and contented. The Mikado, however, wisely considering
+that in the growing intercourse of Japan with foreign countries, a
+taste for ardent spirits can hardly fail to be developed, unless some
+counteracting influence be at work, has decided to foster the erection
+of beer breweries, and thus avert as far as possible an impending
+danger, while at the same time he gives his subjects an innocent and
+refreshing beverage. With this view, the representatives of Japan,
+now in Germany, have been directed to enter into arrangements with
+well-known brewers, for the erection of large breweries in Yokohama,
+Tokio, Saga, Nagasaki and Shidz-u-o-ka.
+
+The Shah of Persia also, is so far convinced of the advantages of beer,
+as to have made arrangements during his last visit to Vienna, for
+parties there to undertake its introduction in his kingdom.
+
+In Turkey, there are at Constantinople six breweries with an annual
+product of about one hundred and twenty thousand gallons. The hops are
+imported from Germany, but the other materials are supplied by the
+country. After the island of Cyprus passed from Turkish to English
+rule, it is worthy of notice that the first shipment by the _Thessalia_
+was fifty barrels of beer, a shipment well illustrating English
+national habits.
+
+The condition of the beer trade in the United States being part of the
+general subject of this book, and especially illustrated in the chapter
+under the heading “The Condition and Prospects of the Beer Trade,” and
+also in the list of breweries given in Appendix C, needs no remark here.
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER V.
+
+ HOW BEER IS MADE AND WHAT IT IS.
+
+
+The production of beer, as of all other malt liquors, bears a striking
+similarity to the making of bread; the chief difference being in the
+quantity of grain employed, and the amount of water added. The one
+intended for a solid food is baked, the other for a liquid refreshment
+is boiled.
+
+The process of making beer is as follows: A certain quantity of malted
+barley is taken and ground, it is then mashed with hot water, the
+sweet liquor or wort extracted, a portion of hops added, and the whole
+boiled until the preservative quality as well as the aroma of the hops
+is obtained. It is then allowed to cool, and afterwards fermented
+with yeast to produce the small quantity of alcohol it contains, and
+to give it life. According to analyses made by different chemists,
+lager beer contains 91.0 water, 5.4 malt extract, 3.5 alcohol, and the
+remainder—making in all 100 parts—carbonic acid. Ale and porter differ
+only in having a slight additional percentage of alcohol, and a large
+amount of solid extract.
+
+The substantial and useful character of the chief ingredient of beer
+may be seen from the nature of an analysis of the malt which forms
+its basis. The result is from Dr. Lermer, whose researches in this
+direction have been of great value.
+

+
+ Starch, 63.43 minus 48.86 14.57
+ Proteic substances, 16.25 minus 15.99 0.26

+ Cellulose, 7.10 plus 7.31 0.21
+ Other substances, 1.11 plus 3.16 2.05
+ Ash, 2.40 minus 2.10 0.30
+ ------- -------
+ 100.00 88.81
+
+In the ordinary process of bread fermentation, a portion of the sugar
+contained in the flour is decomposed and converted into alcohol. It
+has been supposed that the whole of this alcohol was expelled by heat
+during baking; but recent experiments indicate that a perceptible
+amount still remains in yeast-raised bread after baking. The result of
+six experiments, showed that one-third of one per cent. in weight of
+alcohol was obtained from fresh baked bread. From forty loaves of fresh
+bread, two pounds each, alcohol equal to one bottle of port wine may be
+extracted.
+
+The celebrated Professor Balling of Prague, who has spent much time in
+the chemical analysis of different fermented beverages, arrives at the
+following result in reference to lager beer: “Lager beer manufactured
+of malt and hops according to the noble rules of brewing, properly
+fermented, stored for some time and perfectly clear, is a healthy
+and agreeable beverage, which when partaken of quenches thirst and
+strengthens, and thus combines the qualities of water, wine and food.
+The water is the thirst-quenching element, the wine the enlivening, the
+malt extract (composed of sugar, gum, etc.) the nourishing, and the
+carbonic acid gas the refreshing, while the hop extract strengthens the
+stomach, helps digestion, acts on the bladder and is grateful to the
+human constitution. There is no doubt that lager beer brewed and stored
+strictly as before mentioned is hardly intoxicating.”
+
+An impression has gained ground in some quarters that as a matter of
+fact, beer is extensively and injuriously adulterated and certain
+persons claiming to be well informed have spread statements that
+potato starch, grape sugar, glycerine and molasses are added as
+substitutes for malt (barley), that Indian corn and rice are used
+instead of barley, that pine bark, quassia, walnut leaf, wormwood,
+bitter clover, aloes, picric acid, cocculus indicus and strychnine
+are substituted for hops, and that various chemicals are used to
+neutralize acidity or conceal dilution. A few of the first named would
+not be objectionable, unless in point of flavor, and as a matter of
+fact all of the substances named may at some time have been used by
+irresponsible brewers. A careful inquiry, however, has satisfied us
+that the adulteration of beer is rare, and one who reflects on the
+lively competition that exists in the trade must see how speedily
+and surely such a practice would be detected and exposed by business
+rivals. Touching the use of strychnine in particular, Dr. Ure says that
+
+1st. “Strychnine is exceedingly costly.
+
+2d. “It has a most unpleasant bitter, metallic taste.
+
+3d. “It is a notorious poison whose use would ruin the reputation of
+any brewer.
+
+4th. “It cannot be introduced into ordinary beer brewed with hops
+because it is entirely precipitated by the infusion of that wholesome,
+fragrant herb. * * * * Were the _nux-vomica_ powder from which
+strychnia is extracted even stealthily thrown into the mash tun, its
+dangerous principle would be all infallibly thrown down with the
+grounds in the subsequent boiling with the hops.”
+
+When we remember the immense improvement in the quality of American
+beer within the past few years and learn how often expensive machinery
+and appliances have been abandoned after a short use in favor of
+something better, we can hardly believe that brewers who conduct their
+business after such a fashion, will at the same time try to make a
+petty profit by using poor material and so deteriorating the product on
+whose excellence the success of their business depends. The genuineness
+of beer from any established brewery may usually be taken for granted.
+In 1872 after an extensive examination of beers in Great Britain only
+six samples were found to be adulterated.[18]
+
+[18] Encyclopedia Britannica, Art. Brewing.
+
+An effort has been made by many so-called temperance papers to
+disseminate an opposite view in this matter and the statements made can
+only be excused on the ground of ignorance—which in the circumstances
+is inexcusable. No doubt beer has been often adulterated, but to
+represent the practice as common or as prevailing in breweries that
+expect to live and that have a character to maintain is to speak in
+contradiction to the facts and to common sense. Lately at Newark, New
+Jersey, charges of this general nature were made by a total abstinence
+speaker and the matter was for once taken up by the brewers of the
+city, in whose behalf a well known member of the trade addressed the
+following letter to the orator of the day:
+
+The REV. W. F. BOOLE, Brooklyn:
+
+ SIR—In a lecture delivered by you at Park Hall, Newark, N. J., on
+ Sunday afternoon, July 13, 1879, you are reported in the _Newark
+ Morning Register_ to have said: “The traffic is a traffic of compound
+ poisons, and not even the finest imported liquors are free from
+ them. Strychnine and stramonium, two deadly poisons, are used in the
+ manufacture of beer, and a little potash is added to prevent the
+ taste. Belladonna, one of the most virulent of poisons, is also used,
+ and not less than 10,000 tons of the deadly cocculus are consumed.
+ Cocculus is never given as a medicine, but it is drank daily by the
+ masses in their beer and ale.”
+
+ You, as a teacher of religion, should be a lover of truth. On behalf
+ of the brewers of the United States, I denounce this statement as a
+ deliberate falsehood, and I challenge you to prove any part of it;
+ and in the event of your not doing so, or withdrawing your assertion,
+ I shall not only take steps to publish the fact that you are a
+ willful perverter of the truth, but also to prosecute you for slander.
+
+ Yours truly,
+
+ (Signed) C. FEIGENSPAN.
+
+Thereupon the lecturer made answer that the papers had not reported
+him correctly. Here the matter might have dropped, and there was
+in fact an end of this particular phase of the question. The case,
+however, had made a stir and presently a representative of the teetotal
+party called at the office of the United States Brewing Association
+to collect information which was given him as a matter of course.
+Then came a proposition from the same party for a public discussion
+on the following extraordinary terms. Twelve propositions were to be
+advanced and supported by a practiced speaker on the teetotal side.
+The representative of the Newark Brewers was to have an opportunity to
+reply to each, and the other speaker was then to sum up and conclude
+the discussion. The brewers’ representative had only three days notice
+and naturally declined any such arrangement in which all the advantage
+was evidently assumed by the other side. The discussion also was to
+be confined to one evening, and a collection was to be taken up “to
+defray expenses.” The Newark Brewers’ Association, however, expressed
+their willingness to debate on fair terms and with one evening for each
+proposition, but this arrangement was declined. We have taken pains
+to procure the twelve propositions of the total abstinence club, and
+append them here chiefly in order to call attention to the fact that
+the greater part are especially treated in this book, while the others
+are touched incidentally or by direct inference. The propositions are
+as follows:
+
+ No. 1.—The use of malt liquors is a direct cause of intemperance.
+
+ No. 2.—The use of malt liquors tends to the use of stronger liquors.
+
+ No. 3.—Malt liquors, if habitually used to any considerable extent,
+ tend to cause ill-health.
+
+ No. 4.—The claim that malt liquors are valuable as food is without
+ foundation.
+
+ No. 5.—As a medicine, malt liquors are of use only to those who do
+ not ordinarily use them, and are dangerous because of their tendency
+ to create habit.
+
+ No. 6.—The theory that malt liquors can be substituted by consumers
+ of alcoholic beverages for distilled liquors, to any important
+ extent, is false.
+
+ No. 7.—Beer in this country is far more evil in its effects than in
+ Germany; but even there its bad effects, as used by the people, are
+ obvious to every traveler who has no theory to maintain.
+
+ No. 8.—The use of beer by the working classes has a direct relation
+ to poverty.
+
+ No. 9.—The use of malt liquors by the masses has a relation to crime,
+ which, though differing in some respects from that of distilled
+ liquors, is marked and alarming.
+
+ No. 10.—Beer saloons and gardens, as a whole, are demoralizing in
+ their effects on individuals, families, and especially on children.
+
+ No. 11.—The great increase in the use of malt liquors and the
+ increase in intemperance for the past fifteen years have been
+ parallel, and are intimately connected.
+
+ No. 12.—That beer saloons should be subjected to the same
+ restrictions under which ordinary grog shops are placed.
+
+Further comment would be superfluous, especially as this whole matter
+is, strictly speaking, a digression from the purpose of the chapter,
+although one that is so natural as to be almost inevitable.
+
+There has also been much misrepresentation of the views of prominent
+men. For instance, the _Religious Herald_ of Hartford, Conn., recently
+reprinted an article in which it is asserted that Professor Liebig “has
+proved to a certainty that as much flour as can lie on the point of
+a table knife is more nutritious than eight quarts of Bavarian beer,
+counted the best made. Also that the man who drinks two gallons of
+Bavarian beer a day for a year, gets only as much nutriment from his
+seven hundred and thirty gallons as he would from one five-pound loaf
+of bread or three pounds of flesh!” The article has been extensively
+copied all over the country and is calculated to do much harm by
+throwing the influence of an important name on a side where it was
+never intended to go.
+
+Now it is barely possible that Professor Liebig made such a statement
+as to nutriment of a special form, though we are not aware of any
+passage that can give the least color to the assertion. On the other
+hand his real view appears in such passages as the following: “Pure
+lager beer, when taken with lean flesh and little bread yields a diet
+approaching to milk; with fat meat, approaching to rice or potatoes.”
+And again, “In beer-drinking countries it is the universal medicine
+for the healthy as well as for the sick, and it is milk to the aged.”
+These views are shared by almost all the eminent men who have made
+a scientific study of beer, and the opinions and results reached
+by a large number of chemists of high authority will be found in a
+subsequent chapter. “We have anticipated thus much here because in
+describing beer as it is, it seemed necessary to indicate to some
+degree what it is not, at least so far as to explain that it is not
+generally adulterated, and is not wholly useless, as a large party
+constantly asserts it to be.”
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER VI.
+
+ THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALE, PORTER AND LAGER BEER.
+
+
+It has been already mentioned that the earliest beers were made without
+hops. After the use of this plant was discovered beer brewing as an
+art made rapid progress, and not only did every country make its own
+special sort of beer, but many varieties existed side by side in most
+of the German states and in England. Experiments were made with all
+sorts of grain, with potatoes and with plants and herbs, the object
+being in every case to produce a wort whose beer should have special
+advantages in point of flavor or cost or both. Gradually, however, most
+of the materials were quietly dropped, although potatoes are still used
+for the Strasbourg beer, and wheat forms an important element of the
+famous white beer of northern Germany. Barley is the grain that has
+universally been found best adapted to the purpose of making a brown
+beer of an agreeable flavor and of moderate price. With the question
+of material thus practically settled, it might be supposed that the
+difference between various brews of beer would disappear. On the
+contrary the number of varieties is to-day greater than ever before.
+Every step in the manufacture, from the selection of the grain and hops
+on to the final delivery of the product to the consumer, has something
+to do with the characteristics of the beer, and the difficulty does not
+lie in producing something new, but in reproducing accurately what has
+once been successfully tested.
+
+Whatever the distinguishing features of the product, it is still
+beer, and any one specimen of the genus has the general properties of
+all the others. All beer has a notably small percentage of alcohol,
+the strongest ales and porters showing less than many specimens of
+cider; all contain an appreciable amount of solid nutriment which in
+some heavy-bodied beers is quite considerable; all are palatable and
+wholesome, and all are adapted to take the place of ardent spirits and
+thus reduce intemperance and drunkenness to a _minimum_. It is hardly
+necessary to explain that in this book the word beer is used in its
+wide sense. When special varieties are meant they are spoken of by name
+unless the context is such as to remove all doubt.
+
+After the time of experiment and the disuse of most of the grains,
+etc., that had been tried, there still remained two well-marked
+varieties differing essentially in the mode of fermentation, and
+our modern ale and lager beer may be taken as types of the two
+kinds. The former is fermented rapidly at a high temperature and the
+fermentation checked while a considerable portion of sugar still
+remains unchanged, while the latter is fermented slowly and thoroughly
+at a low temperature. The first process is the one originally employed
+everywhere and has held almost undisputed ground in England, where,
+as might in such circumstances be expected, ale-brewing has reached
+its most thorough development. At the beginning of the eighteenth
+century there were in that country three recognized sorts, ale, beer
+and two-penny, differing chiefly in the quantity of malt used for
+each kind. These were often mixed to suit customers and in 1730,
+to avoid the trouble of constant mixing, a new drink was brewed,
+called “entire,” and meant to resemble the triple compound. This was
+afterwards known as porter, and at present the general distinction is
+between porter and ale, though we still hear of small beer. The variety
+of ales, however, is very great. They are made of all colors and all
+degrees of strength, very bitter like the pale ale, and sweetish
+like the Scotch ale, so long-lived that they can be exported to hot
+climates and kept for years, and so short-lived that they must be
+used within three or four weeks. Some are perfectly clear and bright,
+and resemble nothing so much as Rhine wine, of whose flavor also they
+have an indescribable suggestion, while others are dark with solid
+extract and possess a characteristic delicate flavor that resembles
+nothing else. In this respect America is yet far in the rear. There is
+plenty of good ale but there has been no demand sufficient to cause so
+varied a supply or to develop so well-marked special flavors. When,
+however, we remember for how long a time cider was the common drink
+of the people to the exclusion of beer, and see how, in spite of such
+an obstacle at the start, the business gradually gained ground, and
+when we remember that outside the larger cities, even twenty years
+ago, ale was almost sure to be dull and muddy and very apt to be sour,
+we must admit that American ale-brewers have accomplished much. They
+have succeeded so far as to secure a large sale for their brew, and
+so far that now almost anywhere one is certain of a tolerable glass
+of beer—unless the existence of a prohibitory law excludes everything
+but whisky. Their success appears the more striking because of the
+recent great increase in the use of lager beer, for enormous as is the
+consumption of the latter it has hardly produced any effect on the
+sales of the ale-brewers. There is a large number who prefer the flavor
+of ale, others drink it from habit and will always do so, others drink
+it because they ape English fashions, others because the comparatively
+secluded and unsocial character imported from England to our ale-houses
+suits them better than the more social and gregarious customs of the
+lager beer garden, some even because it is usually the more costly of
+the two beverages. Some doubtless prefer it because it usually contains
+a little more alcohol than lager beer, and very many use either beer
+indifferently according to circumstances and convenience.
+
+As to porter there is little that need be said. Its origin has been
+already mentioned, and when we add that the color is due to browned
+malt and its flavor to seeds or the like we have stated all that would
+interest the general reader. It is essentially a heavy-bodied ale,
+however great the superficial unlikeness.
+
+The difference in the manner of fermentation of ale and lager beer has
+been previously indicated, but the following passage from Professor
+Liebig will be found of interest: “In that country (Bavaria) the malt
+wort is set to ferment in open backs with an extensive surface, and
+placed in cool cellars having an atmospheric temperature not exceeding
+8° or 10° C (46½ or 50 F.). The operation lasts from three to four
+weeks; the carbonic acid is disengaged, not in large bubbles that burst
+on the surface of the liquid, but in very small vesicles like those of
+a mineral water or of a liquor saturated with carbonic acid when the
+pressure is removed. The surface of the fermenting wort is always in
+contact with the oxygen of the atmosphere as it is hardly covered with
+froth and as all the yeast is deposited at the bottom of the back under
+the form of a very viscid sediment, called in German _unterhefe_.”
+
+The process thus described results in the production of a beer which
+will not sour even if kept exposed to the air for a long time. Barrels
+only half full have remained uninjured for months. It is to be noticed,
+however, that both ale and lager beer can be prepared under many
+modifications of the main plan, and both are often made for immediate
+use without regard to keeping qualities and pass by the names of
+present use ale and Schenck beer.
+
+As lager beer usually contains a little less alcohol than ale, it has
+been most commonly spoken of by those who are striving to eradicate
+intemperance by introducing beer in the place of ardent spirits. The
+difference in alcoholic strength is not, however, so great as many
+persons suppose, the percentage in ales ranging from 8.88 to 5.36,
+while that of lager beer varies from 6.50 to 3.06. The kind of beer to
+be preferred for the work in any country is that best suited to the
+tastes and traditions of the people. On the continent of Europe and in
+America lager beer has thus far played the more prominent part, while
+in England the responsibility of all that has been accomplished belongs
+to ale.
+
+It is not improbable that the English brewing business has already
+reached its culminating point. A large part of the annual product
+has long been exported to the colonies, and now these are beginning
+to brew beer for themselves and will soon have a supply of their own
+make, sufficient in quality and quantity to make them independent of
+the mother country. With us the case is different. The consumption is
+increasing rapidly, and brewers show a wise liberality in securing
+new processes and appurtenances, and spare no effort to improve the
+quality of their product. Those who make the best beer secure the
+most custom, and the fraternity are fully aware of the fact. All this
+rivalry cannot fail to benefit the consumer. Every year sees better
+ale and lager beer sent over the country, and every year something is
+contributed to the solution of the problem in brewing—to produce a mild
+beer that with more extract than is now found shall contain even less
+alcohol, and remain bright and refreshing. Whether full success in such
+an attempt is to be sooner reached by the ale or lager beer brewers
+remains to be seen, or it may well be that some new malt beverage may
+be discovered, unlike either of the others and superior to both. Such a
+result would be no more striking than other steps in progress already
+made, and brewers of large experience are to be found who believe
+that some such discovery is impending. In the meantime we have the
+satisfaction of knowing that America already produces malt liquors made
+from native materials that are wholesome and agreeable and at least up
+to the average of similar liquors made in countries where brewing has
+been carefully studied and extensively practiced for centuries, while
+with us it is chiefly a recent growth. The degree of success that is
+possible when we take into account the natural resources of the country
+and the enterprising character of the brewers is hardly to be realized.
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER VII.
+
+ THE CONDITIONS AND PROSPECTS OF THE BEER TRADE.
+
+ I believe that Germans are destined to be really the greatest
+ benefactors of this country by bringing to us—if we choose to accept
+ the boon—their beer. Lager beer contains less alcohol than any of the
+ native grape wines. This fact, with the other fact, that the Germans
+ have not the pernicious habits of our people, would, if we choose to
+ adopt their custom, tend to diminish intemperance in this country.

+_For historical sketch see Appendix C. Page 180._]
+
+
+The brewing of ale has been so long an established industry in this
+country and advances so regularly from year to year as to offer no
+striking facts for comment. With lager beer the case is different, and
+the rapidity of the increase in its use is something remarkable. Fifty
+years ago it was hardly known as a beverage in the United States. Now
+and then some good old German would import a keg from his native home
+in the old country, to be drunk on the occasion of some great family
+festival, and call up in his adopted home thoughts of the merry days
+of youth and friendly faces, last seen perhaps in some deep valley of
+the Tyrol or in the shadows of a city that was old when the Pilgrims
+landed at Plymouth Rock. But in the case of so good a creature as lager
+beer such occasional and almost poetical use could not always remain
+the only one, and at last a German of Philadelphia conceived the idea
+of erecting a lager beer brewery. According to the Hon. Frederick Lauer
+of Reading, Pa., (and we have all reason to put implicit faith in his
+version) it was introduced by one Wagner, a practical brewer who came
+from Germany to the United States in a sailing vessel in the year 1842,
+and shortly after landing he brewed the first lager in a miserable
+shanty on the outskirts of Philadelphia, and thus became the Gambrinus
+of America. (We would here refer the reader to the biographical sketch
+of Frederick Lauer, Esq., in Appendix A.)
+
+His success induced another German to try the same experiment on a
+small scale in the city of New York, and from this insignificant
+beginning the business has increased to its present immense
+proportions, so that there are now according to the latest return
+of the Internal Revenue Department at Washington, no less than two
+thousand eight hundred and thirty ale and lager beer breweries in
+active operation. The number is in fact considerably larger than that
+given by the Department, owing to the method of returning only those
+in actual business at the beginning of the year and to other causes.
+The annual product according to the Department figures, is over three
+hundred million gallons. More exactly the figures are, 303,147,552
+gallons, or 9,473,361 barrels. In addition to this there are numerous
+private breweries where beer is made for home consumption but not for
+sale, and these do not fall under the Internal Revenue regulations and
+are consequently not reported.
+
+Figures as given below in reference to the capital invested in
+the brewing, malting and hop business, and taken after careful
+investigation from the best sources attainable, will give the reader a
+faint idea of its vast extent.
+
+ CAPITAL.
+
+ Capital invested in 2,830 breweries in operation at the end of
+ the last fiscal year, (taking the low estimate of $10.00 upon
+ every barrel of malt beverage produced, viz.: 9,473,361
+ barrels at $10.00) $94,733,610.00
+
+ Capital invested in 485 malt-houses of all dimensions having
+ altogether a malting capacity of 35,227,984 bushels:
+
+ Real estate, $16,567,562.00
+
+ Capital invested in the production, 18,620,950.00
+
+ ----------------- $35,188,512.00
+
+ Capital invested in 1,614,654 acres of land under cultivation for
+ barley, $72,659,430.00
+
+ Capital invested in 67,216 acres of land under cultivation for
+ hops, 2,689,232.00
+
+ Capital invested in gathering ice needed for brewers, 15,000,000.00
+
+ Capital invested in fodder of all kinds, 5,000,000.00
+
+
+ LABOR.
+
+ Men employed in breweries now in operation; men 22,640;
+ annual wages, $13,584,000.00
+
+ Men employed in malt-houses; men 3,045; annual wages, 1,324,575.00
+
+ Men employed in the culture of barley, 10 men to every 100
+ acres; men 16,446; annual wages, 4,844,000.00
+
+ Help employed in the culture of hops, 1 person to every 10
+ acres; persons 6,721; annual wages, 2,016,630.00
+
+ All other adjuncts necessary as capital invested by architects,
+ builders, wagon and harness-makers, coppersmith, coopers,
+ machinists, etc., will amount to not less than, 60,000,000.00
+ ---------------
+ Total, $307,039,989.00
+
+A glance at the figures just quoted is enough to show that this branch
+of industry has become very important. Such a production implies
+the contribution of a large amount of capital, and after careful
+investigation of the most trustworthy _data_ we find that there
+are more than three hundred million dollars invested in breweries,
+malt-houses and other adjuncts of the manufacture of beer in the
+United States. The direct investment however, is not the only thing to
+be considered. A business of this magnitude furnishes occupation not
+merely to vast numbers of laborers, but also to thousands of men who
+follow some profession or trade, such as architects, civil engineers,
+masons, carpenters, coopers, coppersmiths, wagon and harness-makers,
+and the like.

+Enormous as the above figures may seem we are to remember that a great

+the last fifteen years, and it is certain that no other branch of
+industry can show equal progress during the same time. The following
+tables, showing the imports and exports of beer for the past few years,
+demonstrate the strong position American beer is taking at home and
+abroad. The imports decrease. The exports increase, and this is the
+best proof that our brewers produce an article which is equal if not
+superior to the foreign, and we have no doubt that with the help of
+wise laws they will soon be enabled to compete with those of any nation
+and thus not only enrich the coffers of the United States Treasury but
+add in other ways to the welfare of our great country.

+
+It will be seen from this table that whilst the export of beer in casks
+has not considerably increased, the increase in the export of bottled
+beer has been very large. In 1870 we exported 1,076 dozens, and in
+1878, 76,475 dozen! This trade has especially been encouraged by the
+Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, as it enabled us to show to the
+world the quality of our production.
+
+The gigantic establishments that, in many cases cover entire blocks,
+are monuments of very lucrative enterprise and ought to be the pride
+of the American people. The truth is, that, notwithstanding a yearly
+sale of more than 300,000,000 gallons, the consumption of beer is
+yet in its infancy. With an increasing number of persons it ceases
+to be a luxury and takes rank with the other articles of daily food.
+The demand for it in all parts of the United States is increasing so
+rapidly that existing breweries are enlarged and improved, and new ones
+are springing up in every direction. In Appendices D, E and B will be
+found a list of breweries in the United States with the names of the
+proprietors and the product of each, together with the total product by
+States, as also the production _per capita_ in the various countries of
+Europe, the total production in the same countries, and the number of
+breweries in each, and we trust that these tables will not only be of
+service to the trade and to students of this question, but also serve
+to give some prominence to the men who have done much for the advance
+of genuine temperance and who deserve a more substantial recognition
+than any it is in our power to give.
+
+All this progress is a natural result of the actual benefits beer has
+bestowed on mankind, and these again follow logically and as might be
+expected from its constitution, containing as it does a large portion
+of water from which all organic impurities are eliminated, a certain
+quantity of nutritive malt extract and a very small percentage of pure
+alcohol, obtained by fermentation and entirely free from the injurious
+properties it acquires in distillation, together with some of the
+carbonic acid gas so thoroughly approved by consumers of soda water. It
+offers to the public a beverage at once healthy, nutritious, and mildly
+stimulating, and as refreshing and exhilarating as tea, coffee or cocoa.

+
+Those who travel know very well the injurious effect of a change of
+water. In no two districts are the waters alike, and we could point to
+many instances where removal from East to West or from North to South
+and the consequent change of water has resulted in disastrous effects
+upon individuals. Any inconvenience of this sort would be diminished
+or altogether avoided by means of a free use of beer. Another similar
+advantage of beer is mentioned by Joseph Coppinger in his work on
+brewing, called “The American Practical Brewer, etc.,” published in
+New York in 1815. After recommending new ale as a preventive and yeast
+as an antidote to malarial fever, he continues: “Brewing, in every
+country, whose soil and climate are congenial to the production of the
+raw materials, should be ranked among the first objects of its domestic
+and political economy. But a still more important consideration is the
+health and morals of our population, which appears to be essentially
+connected with the progress of the brewing trade. In proof of this
+assertion, I will beg leave to state a well-known fact; which is,
+that in proportion as the consumption of malt liquors have increased
+in towns, in that proportion has the health of our fellow-citizens
+improved, and epidemics and intermittents become less frequent. In the
+country it is well known that those families who make frequent use of
+good beer during the summer, are in general healthy, and preserve their
+color; whilst their less fortunate neighbors, who do not use beer at
+all, are devoured by fevers and intermittents. These facts will be
+less doubted when it is known that yeast, properly administered, has
+been found singularly successful in the cure of fevers.” The views
+thus expressed more than sixty years ago have recently received much
+attention and are now advocated by many eminent authorities who hold
+that they are confirmed by both fact and theory.
+
+The sum of the whole is that the beer brewing business has within
+a short time increased immensely—and strictly on the more general
+recognition of the merits of the product—and that there is every
+reason to anticipate at least an equal increase in the near future.
+Beer is already taking the place of ardent spirits and mixed drinks,
+and not long ago there appeared in the New York _Sun_ the complaint of
+a bar-keeper who said in substance that the occupation of a skilled
+compounder of fancy drinks was gone, for anybody could draw beer and
+beer was what everybody wanted. Large gatherings now are more orderly
+than a few years ago and the reason is to be found in the general use
+of beer instead of whisky. At Coney Island the proprietors speak of
+the change as wonderful, and say that but for beer they could not get
+on, while now a disorderly occurrence is rare, no matter how great the
+throng. The same thing may be seen at the various races and in all such
+great assemblages of people who gather for enjoyment, and under the old
+regime were sure to become riotous.
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER VIII.
+
+COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES OF BEER OVER DISTILLED OR SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS.
+
+
+The peculiar advantages of beer as a wholesome and refreshing beverage,
+as compared with either ardent spirits or water have never been so
+clearly displayed as in the late war between France and Germany—and
+it may with truth be asserted, that it has triumphantly withstood the
+trial, and fully maintained its reputation.
+
+The German military surgeons, in their official report to the Imperial
+medical board, bear witness to the superiority of beer over wine. They
+not only state that the refreshing quality of the carbonic acid gas
+contained in beer makes it especially grateful to men fatigued by a
+long march, or exhausted by a day’s fighting, but lay still greater
+stress on its usefulness in the hospital and ambulance, and say that
+when it could be obtained it was administered with great success as
+a cordial, both to the wounded, and to convalescent soldiers placed
+for the time under their care. They add the interesting fact, that
+throughout that campaign the wounded invariably evinced a great longing
+for beer and that when brought into hospital with shattered limbs or
+severe cuts or gun-shot wounds, their first request was usually for a
+glass of beer. The same was true after severe operations, and the drink
+was found to compose and fortify their unstrung nerves. The natural
+inclination to beer as a restorative was very conspicuous among the
+soldiers who were on exposed outpost duty during the cold weather at
+the time of the blockade and siege of Paris. The supply was scanty,
+and common soldiers did not hesitate to pay army followers a large
+price for a glass containing only a few mouthfuls of beer. The report
+of the Director General of the medical staff of the Imperial army is
+in the same tone, and concludes with a strong recommendation not only
+to supply the soldiers with rations of beer instead of spirits when
+employed on active duty, but also to introduce it as the usual beverage
+of the army in time of peace and when on home service.
+
+Professor Moleschott, the distinguished physiologist, in his work
+on the chemistry of food, treats of beer and makes the following
+statements: “The weak alcoholic solution called beer contains nearly
+the same proportion of albumen as is found in fruits, some sugar and
+gum, and another constituent which is composed of carbon, hydrogen and
+oxygen, is soluble in water and is called the bitter principle of hops.
+* * * Fermented liquors, particularly lager beer taken in moderation,
+increase the secretion of the digestive juices and promote the solution
+of the food, and further, a good lager beer partakes of all the
+advantages of the alcoholic beverages and at the same time quenches
+thirst by the large amount of water it contains. Hence lager beer is
+particularly adapted to satisfy the frequent thirst caused by physical
+exercise, and it is a laudable custom to refresh artisans who have to
+work hard, with a glass of this beverage. Its albumen, equal to that of
+fruit, even supplies a direct substitute for food.”
+
+To this we may add that a laborer who has repeatedly experienced its
+invigorating property will by no means admit the truth of the assertion
+that a half-pound loaf of bread and a pint of water are more supporting
+than a pint of beer. A glass of good beer may often be better than food
+or physic. We do not always want food and we seldom need physic, but
+a glass of beer is often a useful refreshment when the stomach is not
+prepared for the one and the system has no need of the other. Excessive
+physical labor, long Endurance of hunger, or anything else which has a
+debilitating influence, affects the appetite for solid food and unfits
+the stomach for its reception. At such times beer has an excellent
+effect, both in affording some present refreshment and in preparing
+the system for more substantial food—and no such advantage can be
+found in the use of water, and nothing like an equivalent in that of
+ardent spirits. Richmond Sheen, an eminent authority, says: “That beer
+is nutritive and salubrious cannot be doubted. It proves a refreshing
+drink and an agreeable and valuable stimulus and support to those who
+have to undergo much bodily fatigue.”
+
+In cases of mental depression too, a glass of beer has often the same
+good effect as food after physical exhaustion. On this point Professor
+T. K. Chambers of New York very justly says: “It is certain that the
+habitual use of some stimulant, particularly beer, bestows on a large
+class the nervous energy necessary to digest food enough to exist
+upon and get through other vital functions. By this stimulus they are
+enabled to be useful members of society instead of the mere drones they
+must become during the rest of their existence under a total abstinence
+regime.”
+
+The records of disease and the bills of mortality in beer-drinking
+countries show longer lives and a less percentage of sickness than
+prevail where malt liquors are replaced by other beverages.[19] Not
+only is this true but the social condition of the people is better
+in countries where beer is recognized and encouraged by government,
+and a very striking illustration of this truth may be found through a
+comparison of the state of Maine and the kingdom of Bavaria. Bavaria
+is the most noted beer-drinking country on the globe and Maine is
+distinctively known as the prohibitory state. The forms of government
+are radically different and an American naturally holds that the
+republican is superior to the monarchical, _i. e._, tends to promote
+the greater happiness of the individual. Let us see what can be learned
+about the matter, and first as to the terms of the comparison.
+
+[19] The Germans are the healthiest class of New Yorkers. Statistics
+show that the mortality among them is nearly 38 per cent. less than
+that of other citizens, while their increase by births is larger,
+and the same is found to be generally true of Germans all over this
+continent.
+
+The advantages and disadvantages in the struggle for existence are
+about equal in amount though naturally different in character. In
+Bavaria, society is old, habits strong, the fetters of trade not easily
+broken, untilled land scarce and the population dense. In Maine there
+is abundance of new land, much timber yet unconsumed, no limits on a
+choice of occupation, a new society and a sparse population. The state
+has a climate that stimulates to industry and the men pride themselves
+on their strength and energy. In Bavaria few receive aid from the
+state or the municipality; while in Maine, the records in this respect
+are frightful. Maine has in addition all the advantages that can be
+obtained by means of the most stringent prohibitory law ever devised,
+a law that, according to its advocates, must tend to secure peace,
+prosperity and happiness. Which of these countries should have most
+paupers, men who are unable to find their own living and are supported
+at the cost of the state? As a matter of fact the number in Bavaria is
+very small while the record of Maine is bad not merely in comparison
+with the old monarchy but as set against that of the United States
+at large. The last census shows one pauper to every 171.65 of the
+population of Maine, while the pauper rate of the whole country was
+only one in 502.47.
+
+Again, the condition of Bavaria is such as favors emigration to a
+large extent, yet her population, in spite of it, increased 4.5 per
+cent. during the last census decade while that of Maine decreased
+.02 _per cent._ during the same time, and _Maine was the only state
+in the Union where a decrease occurred_. We have seen that in the
+original comparison the _pros_ and _cons_ were pretty equally balanced.
+The difference is that Bavaria encourages the use of beer and Maine
+prohibits it. It must not, however, be supposed that the prohibitory
+law suppresses the sale of spirituous drinks. On this point abundant
+evidence will be shortly presented, and we need only say here that we
+know on the best authority that “no one need go without his whisky in
+Maine, though a glass of beer is not to be had for love or money.” The
+reason is obvious, beer is bulky and difficult of concealment while
+spirits can be easily hidden. In this connection notice that in the
+United States between 1860 and 1870 the production of beer rose from
+something more than a million barrels to over eight million and that
+during the same time the pauper rate decreased from one in 379.09 to
+one in 502.47, a striking and very significant fact which may well be
+commended to the attention of our legislators and others interested in
+the connection between the proverbial thrift of the German emigrant
+here and his indulgence in beer. The intellectual advance of the
+beer-drinking countries is so notorious as to need no special comment
+here.
+
+At present a recapitulation of some characteristic national habits in
+the matter of drinking, things well known to every one who has given
+the subject attention, will serve both as a further illustration of the
+superiority of beer over other beverages and as a comment on what has
+been previously said of the modern history of beer-drinking in the more
+important civilized countries of the world.
+
+The Scotchman drinks his “mountain dew,” a strong whisky containing
+over 54 per cent. of alcohol,—and Scotland has long been noted for
+intemperance. The Russian grows sullen and sluggish over his vadka
+or kwass, containing 52.68 _per cent._ of alcohol, and drunkenness
+and crime follow as natural results. The volatile Italians and
+Spaniards drink their mild wines as freely as their mothers’ milk and
+do not disgrace themselves or become a nuisance to others by beastly
+intoxication. Frenchmen were formerly to be placed in the same category
+but recent debates in the French Academy of medicine have developed the
+fact that in parts of France and in some Swiss cantons the powerful and
+seductive influence of brandy, absinthe and schnapps has diminished the
+consumption of wine and gone far to undermine the health and morals
+of the people. The excitable Irishman drinks eagerly and rapidly his
+strong whisky which contains more than 57 per cent. of pure alcohol
+and rouses all his combative qualities so that merry-making is almost
+sure to end in a fight, and trials of strength or skill which begin
+in good feeling end with broken heads and general tumult. The more
+sedate German drinks slowly, with much smoke and animated conversation,
+a beer which has only about four _per cent._ of alcohol. He imbibes
+great quantities and may become merry or dull according to the length
+of his potations, but he rarely if ever fights. The Englishman drinks
+much in a solid matter-of-fact way, but is learning to substitute
+beer for a great part of the stronger liquor he formerly consumed and
+becoming temperate in the same ratio. The American Republic, though
+chiefly British in its origin and therefore inheriting a taste for
+strong liquors, has become by immigration truly cosmopolitan, and is
+on the high road to temperance secured by a general use of fermented
+drinks. One great obstacle in the way is the wonderful variety
+of “fancy drinks,” whose names catch the ear as surely as their
+ingredients tickle the palate. They entice young and old, seduce by
+their novelty or piquancy and carry many thousands on the straight
+road to drunkenness and its accompanying moral and physical wreck. The
+practice of “treating” is also very common and very injurious. It leads
+to a hasty and immoderate consumption that has little or no regard to
+the requirements of the individual and has by some been considered
+the real foundation stone of a habit of intemperance. The Rev. Henry
+Ward Beecher, in a recent address before the Business Men’s Society of
+Brooklyn, favored “moderation in drinking and total abstinence from
+treating.” He said he never drank beer until he was sixty years old,
+after which time he became fond of it, and evidently believed that its
+use is a means to temperance for the people. There are many who might
+say nearly the same thing. We are learning to appreciate malt drinks
+and the tendency is unmistakable, although it must be admitted that, on
+the whole, the disposition of the people is, as yet, more nearly like
+that of the Celt than the Teuton.
+
+Mr. W. A. Lawrence of Waterville, N. Y., in a paper chiefly devoted
+to facts respecting the growth of hops, thus speaks of the general
+question—beer _versus_ whisky: “The fact is that the quality of beer,
+as a light and refreshing drink, has been wonderfully improved within
+the past few years. A bottle of beer to-day has but about half the
+strength of the beer of twenty years ago, and half the strength of
+ordinary wine and cider. The beer of to-day is just what the American
+people want—a cool, mildly refreshing, stimulating and palatable drink.
+Wine is too expensive for a common drink. Cider is too sour and strong.
+Whisky is not a drink at all but a drug, and you have to take water
+after it as you do after taking other drugs, and it ought to be kept in
+a drug-store for sale and nowhere else. But beer is not only agreeable
+and refreshing and cheap, but it is mild, and generally peaceful and
+good-humored in its effects. It is true a man can get drunk on it,
+but a man won’t. A hog may, but most beer-drinkers are not hogs, but
+hard-working men who know what they want and what fills the bill, and
+if they wanted to get drunk they would drink whisky and get a good deal
+bigger drunk at less expense and in half the time.
+
+“The great majority of the beer-drinkers in America are these same
+hard-working men and women, who also drink beer with their food as we
+all do our tea and coffee. But in addition to these, who are mostly
+our German citizens, there are thousands of men, old Americans, who
+have learned to love beer, who will drink it as long as they live and
+will live the longer for drinking it. It is among the native Americans
+that the demand for beer and hops is increasing. The Germans always
+did drink for fifteen generations back, as much as they could hold,
+and in spite of all the theories of our anti-beer, total abstinence
+friends, the Germans in Germany and in this country seem to be still
+above ground; and so far as this country is concerned, as myself, an
+American citizen, and the son of American ancestry for five generations
+back, I wish to God we could trade off about two millions of native
+American whisky-drinkers now in the “solid South,” for two millions
+of hard-working Germans who would do their own work, and drink their
+own beer, and keep clear of fights and strikes and riots and greenback
+conventions, as they keep clear of them here in the North to-day.
+
+“Now everybody knows that whisky is full of the devil and that beer is
+full of humor and good fellowship; and it can hardly fail to rejoice
+the heart of every good hop-grower to find that in raising hops for
+beer he is incidentally engaged in the great “temperance movement” of
+leading men away from bad whisky to good beer. I know this is not what
+the professional temperance lecturers say, but what do I care what
+they say? A temperance lecturer is generally a retired whisky drinker
+and can see snakes in everything, including beer. Or he is a clergyman
+and has acquired the habit of talking with no one to contradict him
+and hence is careless of his facts. Or he is a paid professional, and
+knows that if war is made on whisky alone, whisky would soon be driven
+to the drug-store and no more temperance lecturers needed or paid for.
+I do not hesitate to affirm that I know more about beer by experience
+and contact and study than the whole crowd of temperance lecturers put
+together. They ‘mean well’ to be sure; and so do I. The difference
+between us lies in the fact that they don’t know what they are talking
+about, and I do, because I am personally familiar with something like
+a thousand breweries in the United States and have peculiar advantages
+for information.
+
+“And I am sick and tired of sitting in churches built by hops, whose
+clergymen’s salaries are paid by hops, whose congregations live by
+hops, and that is by beer at first or second hand, and there listening
+to wholesale denunciations of beer, and even to cold-blooded,
+cold-water propositions to pass a general United States law making it
+illegal to manufacture beer anywhere in the country. One hop-grower
+who paid out over two thousand dollars to the poor women and children
+of one village last fall for picking hops, got up and left a church
+where some of this anti-beer nonsense was being aired, but as a general
+thing a man can talk against beer in a hop church with as little
+restraint as a missionary to Greenland feels in preaching hell-fire to
+his shivering congregation. The brewer is far away, and the connection
+between hops and beer is kept carefully out of sight. But to a carnal
+mind like mine it does seem a mean trick for a hop-grower to send out
+a hop-dealer with a flag of truce to the brewers and sell him hops in
+a friendly way, and meanwhile the hop-grower is lying in ambush behind
+a stack of hop-poles, ready as soon as his hops are sold to blaze away
+at the brewer with a prohibition bullet or ballot. I believe there
+are very few hop-growers who are capable of such meanness as this,
+but I do believe there are a great many who do not realize the close
+connection between hops and beer, and to these I say respectfully, as
+I did two years ago in a prominent hop paper, ‘If you believe beer
+is a bad thing, plow up your hop-yards and put in corn and potatoes.
+It is true that somebody may turn the corn and potatoes into whisky,
+but that is not your fault. Corn and potatoes must be had for food.
+But there is no such excuse as this in the case of hops. The hops are
+raised on purpose for beer. Not one bale in a hundred is used for
+yeast or medicine. Therefore you are the “outside man” of the brewery,
+and if beer is a fraud you are a party to a fraud, and you are not
+an honest man. We believe that the making of beer is an honest and
+praiseworthy occupation, no better and no worse than any other branch
+of manufacturing goods that are wanted either for use or pleasure.’
+
+“When I say we, I mean the men who believe in a radical distinction
+between fermented liquors and distilled. Such men as Rev. Dr. Howard
+Crosby, and Dr. William A. Hammond, formerly medical director of the
+United States army, and Dr. Willard Parker, the leading practicing
+physician of New York, and a most earnest Christian man. Dr. Parker
+says in the _Christian Union_: ‘Fermented liquor is the work of God;
+distilled liquor is the work of man or the devil or both.’ ‘It is
+the still that does the harm. It is the still that takes the alcohol
+out of its proper place in a liquid where it is not ordinarily found
+in a larger proportion than six or seven per cent., and where it
+rarely intoxicates, and never if taken in moderate quantities, and
+concentrates it in a substance that is a deadly poison. Take away the
+still and we should have peace and plenty on earth. We could then leave
+the vinous liquors alone. I would compromise with all my heart on that
+ground, and I would go to work and preach just as old Solomon did:
+Don’t use too much.’ If with such men as Crosby and Hammond and Parker
+you believe beer should be distinguished from whisky, then go and raise
+your hops; pick them clean and get clean money. Take your glass of beer
+like an honest man when you feel it will do you good. Let it alone like
+an honest man when you think it will do you harm, just as you would a
+cup of coffee when you were bilious. Sign no pledges, nor encourage
+your children to sign them, except those against distilled liquors.
+Encourage no temperance movement that does not move in the right
+direction—against whisky and in favor of beer as a temperance drink; a
+drink that is killing out whisky faster than whisky killed Ireland, a
+drink that will build up the American constitution as it has built up
+the German.”

+In this table the term extract includes all the substances left when
+the alcohol and water are removed by evaporation.
+
+In view of the figures above given and of the fact that the lighter
+beers form the bulk of the malt liquor consumed in the country, we are
+safe in assuming an average alcoholic strength of not more than 5½ per
+cent. for the total product. This product we have already seen to be
+9,473,361 barrels, which, on the basis just assumed, yields 521,034
+barrels or 16,673,088 gallons of alcohol. Now according to statistics
+from the department at Washington the consumption of native spirits was
+in 1878 over 70,000,000 gallons containing about 37,000,000 gallons
+of alcohol. The cost of the native and foreign ardent spirits, wines
+and liquors used in one year reaches $500,000,000, and it is among the
+drinkers of spirits that we find most of the pauperism and crime of the
+country. Those who drink beer use something that as far as alcohol is
+concerned is more expensive than distilled liquors and yet spend less
+than $120,000,000, as against the $500,000,000 above mentioned. It
+should be noticed that while rum, gin, brandy, whisky, etc., contain
+over 50 per cent. of alcohol, ales never reach nine per cent., and
+lager beer seldom reaches six per cent. and is often below four.
+
+An examination of these tables taken in connection with the other
+facts mentioned should be sufficient to give a general idea of the
+nature and extent of the claims to be made in favor of beer as a common
+beverage. Others will come to light in the course of our discussion,
+and particularly in the chapter entitled, “What Authorities Say,” in
+which are embodied the conclusions of some of the most noted scientific
+investigators of our time.
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER IX.
+
+ BEER BREWING A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.
+
+
+Thus far we have been chiefly occupied with the sanitary and social
+advantages that attend the general use of beer in a community, but
+there is another phase of the question that is worth careful attention.
+Barley and hops are the foundation of beer and we propose to show in
+this chapter some of the benefits that attend their cultivation for
+brewing purposes and which are by no means confined to the cash price
+received from the brewer. They can be raised to good advantage when
+there is no such home consumption, but the real possibilities of these
+crops are only attained when there are breweries near at hand. How
+this is true will be understood after an examination of the following
+statistics.
+
+The cultivation of hops is in itself a more important industry than is
+generally supposed, but for the purpose of this chapter it is of so
+much less consequence than that of barley that it may be dismissed in
+very few words. A few years ago our own production was not sufficient
+to supply the brewers, and in 1872 we paid in round numbers $785,525.00
+to foreign growers. The next year the import was $1,310,627.00 and
+in 1874 reached $1,303,686.00. Since that time the tide has turned
+and each of the past four years has shown an export to a considerable
+amount, the figures taken in the order of the years being as follows:
+1875, $1,286,500.00; 1876, $1,348,521.00; 1877, $2,305,355.00; 1878,
+$2,152,873.00. The yearly consumption in this country is about
+30,000,000 pounds, which after having served their purpose in the
+brewery, furnish an excellent manure, especially for potatoes.
+
+According to the last report of the United States Commissioner of
+Agriculture, there were in 1877, no less than 1,614,654 acres under
+cultivation with barley, and the product was 34,441,400 bushels
+at an average value of 70 cents a bushel, making a total value of
+$24,028,644.00 for the crop. The average yield to the acre was 21.3
+bushels, and the average value to the acre $14.91, as against $10.72
+for hay, $9.54 for corn, $9.25 for oats, $8.87 for rye and $15.08 for
+wheat. Only three crops, potatoes, tobacco and wheat yielded a higher
+value to the acre, and only six, wheat, corn, potatoes, oats, hay and
+cotton had a greater total value. Again, the northern latitudes produce
+the best barley and accordingly we find that in the six Eastern States,
+the average value to the bushel was a little over 78 cents. In these
+states the number of acres under cultivation was only 51,065, the
+product 986,900 bushels, the average value to the acre $15.11, being
+more than that of any other crop except potatoes. Notwithstanding all
+this, we do not even now raise enough for home consumption. The import
+of barley in 1877 was no less than 10,285,957 bushels at a value of
+$7,887,886.00 on which a duty of 20 cents per bushel was paid by the
+consumer, in addition to charges for freight and commission, all of
+which could and should have been saved to our people. Nearly eight
+million dollars is too large a sum to neglect when it lies at our very
+hand.
+
+[Illustration: ISRAEL PUTNAM,
+
+_The great American General, Brewer and Tavern Keeper at Brooklyn,
+Conn._ (1718-1790.)
+
+_See Page 27._]
+
+We have said that high latitudes are favorable to barley. It is chiefly
+grown in the northern tier of states and in Canada, and a state
+like Maine for instance would find immense advantage in an enlarged
+production of this crop even under existing conditions. But suppose the
+restriction on brewing were removed, that instead of being crushed out
+by local law it were encouraged and fostered. It is not easy to compute
+the material assistance such a course would be to the farming community
+and the state at large, and yet the direct gain would be small in
+comparison with the incidental advantages. For the proper illustration
+of this point we must ask the reader to follow and keep in mind two
+separate series of facts which we are about to present. The first
+statistical and relating to the “refuse” of brewing establishments, and
+the second general.
+
+The breweries of the United States use annually about 30,000,000
+bushels of malt, which yields, according to A. Schwarz of New York,
+2½ per cent. or 750,000 bushels of “sprouts.” Now in estimating the
+comparative value of different kinds of fodder according to the albumen
+contained it is usual to take hay as the basis of comparison. Air-dried
+meadow hay contains 7 per cent. of albumen. “Sprouts” contain from 24
+to 30 per cent., so that a hundred bushels of sprouts, weighing 1,200
+pounds, are equal in value to 4,628 pounds of hay, and the annual
+product of sprouts as above stated to 34,710,000 pounds of hay. This
+same 30,000,000 bushels of malt yields at least 35,000,000 bushels of
+“grains,” having a weight of 1,520,000,000 pounds, and from 4 to 5
+per cent. of albumen. Taking 4½ per cent. as the average, 100 pounds
+of grains have the same nutritive value as 64 pounds of hay and the
+value of the product reaches that of 973,241,000 pounds of hay. It is
+a proved fact that cattle fed on grains give better milk than when any
+other fodder is used and this fact is specially appreciated in New York
+and New Jersey, where the grains and sprouts are largely used with
+most excellent results. These products must by no means be confounded
+with the “slops” from distilleries, which is utterly different in
+character—_as indeed every product of the still seems to be tainted
+with some portion of the curse that has always clung to spirituous
+liquors_.
+
+The second and general consideration is this: The past agricultural
+history of New England shows a succession of specialties, each running
+its course until the advent of another which existing circumstances
+made more profitable. The first was grain (except barley), then came
+wool, and then potatoes, while the last and most promising is dairy
+farming. It is yet in its infancy but it is already important. One
+thing is sure, that farming on the old-fashioned plan has seen its day
+in New England. The natural advantages of the West enable it to raise
+and deliver many crops cheaper than they can be grown in the older part
+of the country, and under the influence of this competition Eastern
+farmers have grown poorer and poorer unless they have taken up a
+specialty or possessed some unusual natural advantages. We submit that
+the combination of dairy farming with the growth of barley will, even
+under the existing laws, prove very remunerative. The facts already
+adduced point directly to this conclusion. The figures show that barley
+is a profitable crop and that northern New England is well adapted to
+its growth. Moreover it thrives on a comparatively poor soil while most
+of the other natural products that rank high in value involve a large
+expense for manure, and in many cases a great deal of hand labor. Dairy
+farms are known to pay well. What then will be the result of combining
+the two industries as above indicated on terms favorable to both? But
+this can only be successfully done by the establishment of breweries,
+and sooner or later the people will understand all these facts and act
+accordingly. _Remove the laws that now make brewing impossible, and a
+new industry will spring up as if by magic_—we might well say three
+new industries—for barley culture and dairies will grow to keep pace
+with the demands and the grants of brewing. For it must be remembered
+that brewing is not like some other forms of manufacture. What it takes
+with one hand it gives with the other. It receives the farmer’s grain
+and pays him a good price; it gives him valuable fodder and manure for
+a sum that is small in proportion to the benefit conferred. It helps
+put in motion the wheels of another separate business, the manufacture
+of cheese and butter, and it is again the agricultural community who
+profit by the development.
+
+_Living in an age of progress we must recognize the fact and adapt
+ourselves to it or we shall inevitably fall behind, and we do not
+believe that the men of New England will long close their eyes to
+the advantages offered by such a course as has been indicated. The
+change must come, and sooner or later, a part of the change must be
+the resolute and successful demand for a repeal of the laws that
+choke industry. Maine men in especial have everything to gain. Their
+business is stagnant, their population decreasing, poverty staring
+them in the face and enforced idleness eating like a canker into their
+very nature. They have it in their power to change all this, to become
+rich, revive trade, make the state famous for progressive energy, and
+banish the intemperance that now accompanies and aggravates all their
+other ills and is accompanied by the other corrupting evils that, as
+experience shows, always spring up in the shadow of a prohibitory law._
+The matter well deserves more space than we can give, but we have
+presented the leading facts and must leave them for the examination
+and mature reflection of all who are interested. Great things have
+been expected of beet-root culture in Maine and other states, and we
+cannot close this chapter without a word in reference to this topic.
+The Commissioner of Agriculture, in the prefatory remarks to his last
+Report, says: “The effort to produce a sugar beet, and the belief
+and expectation of many that the beet would be made to yield in this
+country as in Germany and France, of good quality, in sufficient
+abundance, and at a sufficiently low cost, to make it pay has not
+been realized—although no pains and money have been spared to insure
+success.” The difficulty is that the sugar beet will not thrive on poor
+or exhausted soil, unless it is heavily manured. Such has been the
+constant experience in those places where the experiment has received
+most attention, _viz._, Chatsworth, Ill., Sauk county, Wis., and some
+parts of the state of Maine.[20] New England is unfit for beet-root
+culture, partly by nature and partly by the exhaustion of the soil,
+while on the other hand it is as we have said eminently adapted to
+barley. Even had the expectations of the more reasonable part of
+the beet-growers of Maine been realized, the material advantages to
+the people would not have compared with those to be attained by the
+encouragement of breweries, the growth of barley and hops and the
+establishment of dairies. All these things go together and stimulate
+other branches of industry. There will be more demand for other crops,
+particularly hay and oats, and for lumber for vats, barrels, tubs and
+building purposes. A busy temperate people must thrive _and we have
+shown what will make them busy and temperate_.
+
+[20] The state of Maine is assisting the experiment with beet-root by
+granting a premium of one cent a pound on all beet-root sugar produced
+in the state, but even with this help the industry has failed to
+establish itself to any considerable extent.
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER X.
+
+ PROHIBITORY LAWS AND THEIR EFFECTS.
+
+
+We have now reached a point at which we may properly recur to a
+topic already suggested and inquire a little more carefully into the
+actual working of the prohibitory laws. On this head we shall confine
+ourselves chiefly to the testimony of men who have made the matter a
+thorough study, and that not at a distance, but in the very midst of
+the operation of such laws, and as Maine is the state which led the
+way in the prohibitory movement and has since followed that course
+with most persistency, it is proper that it should occupy most of our
+attention during the inquiry.
+
+Not long ago a number of the most prominent men of the state, men of
+different political parties, wholly above reproach, and especially
+fitted by official position or private observation to form a just
+opinion in the premises, became so well convinced of the evils of
+the present system, and its detrimental effect on the people, as to
+unite in an effort for its amendment. Their movement took form in the
+presentation by Mr. Fox of Portland, a lawyer of high reputation and a
+member of the Legislature, of the following proposed Act:
+
+
+ “_State of Maine, 1879._
+
+ “An Act in relation to Cider, Native Wines, Ale, Porter, Lager Beer
+ and Malt Liquors.
+
+ “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in
+ Legislature assembled, as follows:
+
+ “Cider, Native Wine, Ale, Porter, Lager Beer and other Malt Liquors,
+ when pure and unadulterated, shall not be considered intoxicating
+ liquors within the meaning of the laws of this State.”
+
+The bill was referred to the Committee on Temperance and able arguments
+in its favor were made by Gen. Gorham, L. Boynton, Hon. Nathan Webb
+and C. G. Yeaton, all men highly respected by the people of the state,
+of the strictest integrity, and with no inducement to make other than
+an impartial statement. Three gentlemen who have successively held
+the office of county attorney of Cumberland county for about fifteen
+years past and who are all Republicans, have unanimously testified
+against the present prohibition law. They are Gen. Chas. T. Matlock,
+C. F. Libby, Esq., and Nathan Webb. Similar views are held by such men
+as Gen. W. S. Tilton of Logan Springs, Judge Goddard, postmaster of
+Portland, M. P. Frank of Portland, Speaker of the House, Dr. Edw. Dana
+and many other influential citizens. No party, however, was willing to
+go to the people on this issue and the bill failed to pass, although
+there is good reason to hope that when the next attempt is made some
+who have previously upheld the present law will have learned to take a
+different view. Much new light is constantly thrown on the influence of
+the present statute, and can hardly fail to produce an adequate effect.
+A minority report of the committee was presented and contains so much
+of interest and importance that we cannot do better than to reproduce
+it in these pages. Its statements are those of men who understand the
+subject of which they treat and are worth a careful reading.
+
+
+ REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE, OF THE FIFTY-EIGHTH
+ LEGISLATURE OF MAINE, 1879.
+
+“The Committee on Temperance have listened to the able and exhaustive
+arguments presented on both sides of the matter in hearing, and the
+minority of said committee respectfully present their views in dissent
+from the report of the majority. The law regulating the sale of
+intoxicating liquors, commonly known as the prohibitory liquor law has
+had a trial of more than a quarter of a century. Its severity has no
+parallel in the laws of any other civilized country. Although enforced
+with all the power of the state, court records show that the number of
+prosecutions and convictions is increasing, at great expense to the tax
+payers. Country towns pay their share for the enforcement of this law
+in cities without corresponding benefit to themselves. The cost of its
+execution is a burden on an over-taxed people. A detailed statement
+which is hereto annexed shows the cost for officers to enforce the law.”
+
+The details are here omitted but “the total reaches the enormous amount
+of $220,000. The records of the Insane Hospital show a gradual increase
+of patients caused by excessive use of intoxicating liquors. At the
+present time that institution has nearly double the number of inmates
+from that cause alone, which it had when the present prohibitory
+law was enacted. While the law, with singular inconsistency, does
+not recognize pure and beneficial kinds of intoxicating liquors as
+property when intended for sale by other than city or town agencies,
+and makes no distinction between the sale of adulterated liquors and
+pure liquors, it authorizes their indiscriminate sale in numerous city
+and town agencies. Liquor-drinking is not done openly to so great an
+extent but the consumption is as large. It is notorious that quantities
+of strong liquors have for years been transported into the state from
+the Provinces, and especially from Massachusetts, which has drained us
+of millions of dollars which might have been kept at home under liberal
+laws. Liquor runners from New York and Boston penetrate every nook and
+corner of our state to rob our people and eat out their substance.
+Liquors are also imported in bond, and under the protection of the
+Federal Government they cannot be seized in bulk. They are consumed in
+families and in club-rooms which have been organized in large towns
+and cities, under that most dangerous guise of social drinking. The
+liquor agencies authorized by law have vended in some years more than a
+hundred thousand dollars worth of liquors for medicinal, mechanical and
+manufacturing purposes only, as is supposed. We consider these liquor
+agencies as leeches upon the people. The question is whether a law,
+the severity of which is without example, having failed to accomplish
+the ends for which it was designed, according to experience and the
+testimony of officials serving under it, who with singular unanimity
+give their verdict against it, ought to be so amended that cider,
+native wines, ale, porter and particularly lager beer, shall not be
+considered within the meaning of the statute.
+
+“History shows that every nation has its peculiar stimulants in
+stronger or milder forms. Men crave stimulant. It is an undeniable
+fact, both in the light of history and experience, that in countries
+like Germany, France, etc., whose climate is not unlike ours,
+drunkenness is known scarcely more than the strong liquors which cause
+it. Cheap light wines and nutritious malt beverages supersede strong
+drink. Everybody uses them at his meals and as a common beverage. The
+people of those countries are among the healthiest, happiest, most
+prosperous and temperate on the face of the globe. We appeal to the
+wisdom of this Legislature and the consideration of the people whether
+it would not promote the cause of temperance and the material welfare
+of our state to give the amendment proposed a fair trial. It would
+tend to promote harmony by removing an irritating and festering sore
+from our politics. Good citizens without distinctions of party view
+with alarm the inroads that this law in its operation is working upon
+our social and material interest, driving away business, depreciating
+real estate, shackling enterprise, cheating labor, increasing taxes,
+educating intolerance and hypocrisy, influencing elections and
+encouraging bribery and perjury and the clandestine compounding, sale
+and use of poisonous liquors.”

+
+This is the statement of men whose characters stand so high as to give
+great weight to their opinion and leave nothing to be objected to their
+statement of fact.
+
+Again, Governor Garcelon is not a man to make hasty or unfounded
+statements in an important matter and he has been for many years
+an eminent physician of large practice and a close observer of the
+habits of the people. But read this summary of an address delivered
+by him before the Maine temperance convention: “He called attention
+to various kinds of intemperance, which have generally escaped the
+notice of reformers in that state. He spoke of the use of tobacco as an
+increasing evil, especially among the young, and said that in addition
+to chewing and smoking, snuff-dipping was becoming prevalent, a fact of
+which many are ignorant and which excites surprise. The use of opiates,
+Governor Garcelon remarked, had increased to an alarming extent. Many
+a man, he said, had appeared upon the stand advocating temperance,
+who had in his pocket a bottle of laudanum or black drops, which pave
+the way to an early grave. The ladies carry chloroform and ether to
+moisten the handkerchief with which to allay nervous excitement. As a
+practicing physician and observer of human nature, he placed all these
+forms of intemperance in the same category with the intemperate use of
+spirituous liquors, all of which demand correction. Is the change from
+the intoxicating liquors to opium an improvement? Governor Garcelon
+has, undoubtedly, done the people a timely service by directing
+attention to this and other evils, and if followed up it will be found
+that the ‘Maine Law’ has not been the grand instrument of reform which
+it is claimed to be.”
+
+At a convention held at Bangor, Me., July 1, 1879, a resolution
+in favor of local option was presented by Mr. Charles F. Swett, a
+considerable part of whose speech is here reproduced, as it deals in
+facts of great importance to the present discussion:
+
+“In supporting this measure, I wish to distinctly define my position.
+I am a practical temperance man; a total abstainer. I have belonged,
+and do now belong, to every temperance organization in the state
+of Maine, except the Reform Club. I have had much experience in
+endeavoring to ‘reclaim the fallen and save others from falling,’ and
+I therefore claim to be as conversant with the practical workings of
+our prohibitory law as any man in this hall, and I declare, from my
+experience, that that law, so far as it contributes to lessening the
+evils of intemperance, is a complete failure, and a costly one to the
+people of this state. * * * In Cumberland county there are four deputy
+sheriffs, whose business it is to enforce the liquor law. These men
+get from $7,000 to $9,000 per year for their services. Of course they
+never reform a drunkard, but they can afford to contribute $3,000 a
+year towards the campaign fund—and they do—and the people furnish the
+money. Every liquor-seller thrown into jail for sixty days pays the
+high sheriff a profit of $1.50 per week. When there is an average of
+say fifty of these cases his profits will be $4,000 per year, from this
+source alone. The people furnish the money, and the sheriff ‘comes down
+handsomely’ for the campaign fund. True, there are no men reformed, but
+the party gets the ‘sinews of war.’ And so it is all over the state.
+
+“The cost of the execution of the prohibitory law is a burden upon
+our over-taxed people. The report of the temperance committee of our
+last Legislature showed that although the ‘law was enforced with
+all the power of the state,’ court records prove that the number of
+prosecutions is annually increasing, at great expense to the tax
+payers. From June 1, 1877, to June 1, 1878, the cost of enforcing
+the prohibitory law, in Cumberland county alone, reached $28,000. In
+the same ratio, applied to the population of the whole state, the
+cost reaches the enormous sum of $220,000, annually. But we would not
+complain of the expenditure even of this vast sum if the results were,
+in any degree satisfactory. But they are not. The advocates of the
+Maine law make bold claims, but their claims are not substantiated
+by the facts. Outside of Maine, and even in the back towns of this
+state, remote from the cities, people are given to understand that
+liquor is not sold in Maine, and therefore there is less crime here
+than formerly. Neal Dow says, ‘We have little crime here because we
+have banished its cause.’ Let us look at the facts. In 1851, there
+were 87 convicts in the state prison. We had then a population of
+584,000, while to-day it is probably 625,000. Last year’s state prison
+report shows the number of convicts to be 206, while 69 more were
+serving in jail work-shops. So the number of convicts has increased,
+_under the prohibitory law_, over threefold, while our population has
+remained comparatively the same. Does that speak well for prohibition?
+Now, take the city of Portland. In 1856, there were 650 arrests
+for drunkenness, in a population of 27,000. In 1876, twenty years
+later, with a population of about 30,000, there were 1800 arrests for
+drunkenness, and in no year of the last eight has the list fallen
+below 1,200. And this under a vigorous enforcement of the prohibitory
+law. Does that speak well for prohibition? During last week, over 200
+barrels of liquor were brought into Portland, by the various railroads
+and steamboats, _for home consumption_. Does that speak well for
+prohibition?
+
+“The secret drinking in club-rooms in Portland is threefold that which
+formerly took place at open bars, while the traffic outside has been
+driven into worse and worse hands every year, until it has, with a
+few exceptions, been taken away from respectable men, whose interest
+it would be to conduct it with some show of decency, and given into
+the undivided management and control of the low and criminal, so that
+while ‘the law is enforced with all the power of the state,’ the upper
+classes get drunk at the club-rooms, and the lower classes get drunk
+at the shops in the slums. Does that speak well for prohibition? The
+vilest liquors possible to make are manufactured for the market in this
+state, and even our state liquor agent could not, or did not, _keep
+pure_ liquors even for medicinal purposes.
+
+“Private club-rooms have multiplied in Portland, under the operation of
+the prohibitory law, (there being over 80 in that city at the present
+time,) and our young men just starting out in life are exposed to all
+the dangers of the drunkard’s life, and no law can stop them. In these
+club-rooms, boys who would never go to saloons to get drunk, who would
+never learn to gamble were it not for their club-room temptations,
+who would, in short, grow up honest and respected citizens, are being
+ruined every day. This evil ought to be remedied by prompt and decisive
+action. Fathers who love their sons; mothers who pray for their boys;
+sisters who mourn over their disgraced brothers; wives who weep over
+the wreck of what were once good men and true husbands; citizens who
+care for the good name and prosperity of their communities, ought to
+labor to shut these accursed gates of hell! Let us commence the good
+work by striving to repeal the prohibitory law, which is a positive
+detriment to the cause of temperance, an incubus upon the mercantile
+interests of Maine, and a curse to the young men of our cities.”
+
+In Massachusetts we have very important testimony to the same effect, a
+part of which is very ably and carefully summarized in an article which
+we insert here, retaining for convenience a portion at the beginning
+which might equally well be placed under a different heading:
+
+“The state Board of Health of Massachusetts, in the Tenth Annual
+Report, published in January, 1879, say, under the head of
+‘Intemperance’: ‘A more severe public judgment of drunkenness, in
+recent times, has undoubtedly tended to very much decrease its
+prevalence; and it is generally believed that light German beer is
+used more and more each year, at least in our state, to the exclusion
+of stronger liquors—_a change which it is of course desirable to
+hasten by legislation, so far as that can be done, either by removal
+of restrictions on the sale of mild liquors, and heavily taxing the
+stronger spirits, or by any other just and proper means_.’ This is the
+reiterated public expression of men to whom the state of Massachusetts
+has committed the general care for the health of her people. For the
+former public utterance of this opinion the chairman of the Board, for
+years past, has been most bitterly assailed by prohibitionists; but,
+undaunted by these intemperate and abusive attacks, the state Board of
+Health confirm the statement of their honest conviction by repeating
+the same, and embodying it in an important public document.
+
+“In harmony with this public expression of opinion by the state Board
+of Health, appears the action of the Committee on License of the Board
+of Aldermen of the city of Boston. In their report of September, 1878,
+to the City Council, this committee say: ‘It may be objected that the
+committee have been too liberal in their recommendations of the issue
+of licenses, but their experience has convinced them that the “lunch
+rooms,” established chiefly for the sale of lager beer and edible
+refreshments, ought to be regarded as victualing saloons, even if
+facilities are not maintained for regular meals, and no cooking is done
+on the premises. The committee feel satisfied that the consumption of
+lager beer, now so general, tends, in fact, to exclude from sale and
+use more ardent spirits, and thereby diminishes crime and pauperism.
+It is well known that in the old countries, where beer and light wines
+are accessible, without restraint, at a small expense, and are freely
+used by all classes of people, cases of intoxication are very rare. The
+committee are confident that drunkenness, and consequently pauperism
+and crime, will be diminished in this state, if no restrictions were
+placed on the sale of lager beer, for it then could be provided at such
+a low price as to effectually supersede the use of strong liquors.
+They therefore submit for the consideration of the City Council the
+following order:
+
+“‘_Ordered_, That his Honor the Mayor be requested to petition the next
+Legislature for such amendment of chapter 99 of the statutes of 1875 as
+will allow the sale of cider and lager beer without any license being
+required therefor.’
+
+“It must be admitted, that in the state of Massachusetts, the liquor
+question has been as fully discussed, and the various legal expedients
+connected therewith have had as fair and full a trial as in any other
+state in the Union. It may therefore be claimed, without presumption,
+that to the results there attained, and the opinions there formed, when
+coming from official and authentic sources, the careful consideration
+of other state governments should be given. Acting from this view, we
+draw the attention of the reader to a very instructive report of the
+results of an investigation relative to drunkenness and liquor selling
+under prohibition and license legislation contained in the Tenth Annual
+Report of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor, issued as
+a public document in January, 1879. This investigation was undertaken
+at the special request of Governor Rice, whose object was to place on
+record a statement, as a basis for an intelligent consideration of the
+question, of as reliable a character as could be secured by impartial
+statistics. These statistics are drawn from official sources, and, as
+far as the figures are concerned, are thoroughly reliable.
+
+“The years 1874 and 1877 were selected for comparison, because 1874
+represented the last full year under the operation of the prohibitory
+law, and 1877 the last full year under the license law. The advantages
+resulting from this selection of years, if any, are on the side of the
+prohibitory law, because that law, in 1874, had been in operation for a
+number of years, while the license law, in 1877, had only been in force
+a year and a half.
+
+“Four circulars were prepared and addressed by the chief of the state
+Bureau of Statistics and Labor to town clerks, city clerks, chiefs of
+police, to standing justices, clerks of district, municipal and police
+courts, and trial justices. These circulars solicited information
+regarding the sales of liquor, prosecutions therefor, and arrests and
+convictions for drunkenness for the prohibitory year 1874 and the
+license year 1877. The completeness of the investigation may be seen
+from the following statement:
+
+“Circular ‘A’ was sent to 325 Town Clerks; 322 answered.
+
+“Circular ‘B’ was sent to 19 City Clerks; 19 answered.
+
+“Circular ‘C’ was sent to 19 Chiefs of Police; 19 answered.
+
+“Circular ‘D’ was sent to 132 Court and Trial Justices; 130 answered.
+
+“This is a total of 490 returns of 495 circulars of inquiry sent out.
+There can be no question that the investigation was exhaustive, for
+the few towns which did not answer are unimportant places. From the
+information thus obtained and tabulated in detail in the Report, the
+following totals are derived:
+
+ ARRESTS FOR DRUNKENNESS.
+ Under the prohibitory law, 1874, 28,044
+ Under the license law, 1877, 20,657
+
+ CONVICTIONS FOR DRUNKENNESS.
+ Under the prohibitory law, 1874, 23,981
+ Under the license law, 1877, 17,862
+
+ NUMBER OF PLACES WHERE LIQUOR WAS ILLEGALLY SOLD.
+ Under the prohibitory law, 1874, 5,609
+
+ NUMBER OF PLACES LICENSED TO SELL LIQUOR.
+ Under the license law, 1877, 5,273
+
+ JUDGMENTS ON COMPLAINTS FOR ILLEGAL SALES.
+ Under the prohibitory law, 1874, 3,644
+ Under the license law, 1877, 1,693
+
+“It will thus be seen that the number of arrests for drunkenness under
+the operation of the license law, during the year 1877, as compared to
+the prohibitory year 1874, shows a decrease of fully twenty-five per
+cent. In the number of convictions for drunkenness the difference in
+favor of the license year is at the same rate. The number of places
+where liquor was _illegally_ sold under the prohibitory law of 1874,
+was larger by 336 than the number of places _licensed_ in 1877. It
+is evident from these returns that the prohibitory law has failed to
+prohibit, or even to regulate, the sale of liquor, while it is equally
+apparent that the license law, as a legislative measure, not only
+regulates the sale of liquor, but decreases drunkenness.
+
+“A law, to be effective, must have the support of the people; the
+prohibitory law will never be thus supported, as common sense will
+teach that it is neither just nor judicious, to make somebody else than
+the drunkard himself responsible for his failing; and is not just this
+the questionable theory upon which prohibition is based?
+
+“The prohibitionists condemn the use of alcoholic beverages of every
+kind, as the prolific source of sin and vice. Nothing less than total
+abstinence finds favor with them. To them, the terms use and abuse
+have no distinctive meaning, and their curse falls upon brewery and
+distillery alike. It must be admitted that as long as alcoholic
+stimulants are used, intemperance will exist, and that the evil of
+drunkenness will only disappear with their total suppression. In view
+of the actual state of social habits, and the position which alcoholic
+beverages hold in civilized life, as now constituted, no sane person
+will believe such a total suppression possible. There are no means by
+which a habit, transmitted from generation to generation, and forming
+so important an element in the development of the civilization of the
+human race, can be uprooted. Alcoholic stimulants once invented are
+never again abandoned, and seem to be destined to co-exist with man.
+The deplorable vice of drunkenness has always accompanied their use,
+and all attempts of rulers and philanthropists, the severest penalties
+and the sincerest compassion, have alike failed to suppress the evil.
+But it does not follow that, because the temptation of excessive use is
+too strong for some to be resisted, the great mass of people, who can
+and do use these beverages in moderation, should be made responsible
+for the weakness of the few. Nor does it follow that the intensity of
+the temptation is to be regarded as an excuse for the drunkard. Excess
+in the gratification of a desire, however natural, to the injury of
+others, is to be condemned morally and legally. Many actions of man,
+which the moral and legal code of society brands as a crime, and
+punishes as such, are the result of an inordinate gratification of
+instinctive desires implanted by nature, upon the proper indulgence of
+which the very propagation and the happiness of the human race depends,
+as for example, the instinct of self-preservation, of procreation and
+of acquisition. The more civilization advances, the more moral and
+intellectual discernment governs natural impulse, the less excess
+in the use of alcoholic stimulants the world will see. The vice of
+intemperance prevails to a far greater extent among the ignorant and
+uneducated than among the cultured classes of society. The spread
+of culture and education will do far more for temperance than the
+indiscriminate prohibition of the sale of alcoholic stimulants and
+the signing of pledges; it will divest the indulgence of the social
+cup of vulgarity, and will punish immoderation by social ostracism;
+by giving to the pleasure of exhilaration an ideal character, it
+will make the vine and the hop the emblems of harmless enjoyment.
+A clearer perception thus establishes a standard of ethics, which
+recognizes a proper gratification of the innate craving for enjoyment
+and exhilaration, as an essential to human happiness, but draws the
+line between what is permissible and what is not, between the becoming
+and the unbecoming. The craving for improvement of condition and for
+enjoyment is strongly developed in man—happily for him, for it is the
+very spur that urges him on to the physical improvement which is the
+necessary concomitant of mental advance. The love for exhilarating
+stimulants is but one phase of this craving. As such it is entitled
+to and has found recognition in our social laws, and the temperate
+use of alcoholic beverages is sanctioned by a practice as wide-spread
+as civilization itself, and by all classes, whatever their station or
+condition in life. Contravening legal statutes will always be found
+either wholly inoperative, or to fall far short of the intended effect.
+Whenever and wherever the temporary enforcement of a law prohibiting
+the manufacture and sale of such beverages has taken place, the cure,
+as far as the suppression of stimulants is concerned, has generally
+proved worse than the disease.”
+
+The following particulars, taken from the report under the title of
+“Nativity of Prisoners,” given by the Chief of the Police of Boston,
+become very interesting when considered in reference to the usual drink
+of the classes mentioned. The table shows first the number in Boston
+of Irish and Germans, the number of prisoners of each nation and the
+percentage of prisoners to the whole population:
+
+ ---------------+-------------+--------------+----------------
+ | | | PERCENTAGE OF
+ | POPULATION. | NO. OF |PRISONERS TO THE
+ | | PRISONERS. | POPULATION.
+ ---------------+-------------+--------------+----------------
+ Irish | 56,900 | 14,673 | 25.78
+ German | 5,606 | 364 | 6.49
+ ---------------+-------------+--------------+----------------
+
+Similar general results are found more or less marked wherever such
+laws are in force. Druggists tell us that as a rule the consumption
+of opium in various forms from paregoric to laudanum has increased,
+bitters are more extensively used and in some places Scotch snuff for
+“dipping” has come into demand. The amount of opium annually imported
+is greater than that received by China a hundred years ago, and there
+is reason to suppose that many who are called reformed drunkards have
+adopted opium in some form and thus given themselves to a new bondage
+no whit better than the old. Notice that the increase in the sale
+of opium keeps pace in a very fair measure with the enforcement of
+prohibitory laws. One dealer in drugs in Hartford, Conn., recently
+advertised for sale five thousand pounds of opium, certainly a good
+dose for the land of steady habits. In the state just mentioned both
+prohibition and “local option” laws have been tried and neither can
+be considered a success. Under the present “local option” many towns
+wholly forbid the sale of spirituous and malt liquors, and this fact
+has given great prominence to suits arising out of the sale of what is
+called Schenck beer, which is substantially lager beer. The courts at
+last decided that this article is not intoxicating within the meaning
+of the act, and though the decision as to intoxicating quality is just,
+the fact that this beer is allowed while lager beer under its own name
+is forbidden shows how great a part prejudice instead of reason has
+played in the contest. “Peripatetic gin mills” are increasing in about
+the same ratio as “temperance societies” and “temperance detectives.”
+Those who pass by the name of temperance reformers seem in many cases
+to lose the sense of human charity and brotherly kindness, and little
+else can be expected when we remember how often they are the slaves
+of this single idea and how in all ages of the world bigotry has been
+attended by cruelty. Before giving one striking instance of cruelty
+which it is to be hoped has since been sincerely regretted by all
+concerned, we must reiterate that any law which every one knows to be
+constantly violated brings law into disrespect and demoralizes the
+community so far forth. The case to which reference was just made was
+mentioned in the New York _World_, and although other matters are added
+the whole is of sufficient interest to bear reproduction. The article
+is as follows:
+
+“Some time last September an old lady by the name of Stack who kept a
+farm at Northfield, Vt., sold two glasses of cider to a man by the name
+of Timothy Hogan, who informed against her and secured her conviction
+and a fine of $20 and expenses. In consideration of her age, sickness
+and poverty, she was allowed a short time to pay her fine, but not
+being prepared with the cash in January, she was arrested by Deputy
+Sheriff Avery, and, notwithstanding the severity of the weather,
+hauled off to prison in an open sleigh to Montpelier insufficiently
+clad. While in confinement sickness and poor treatment combined caused
+a rapid decline, until her niece, a domestic in a hotel, borrowed
+sufficient money to pay her fine and effect her release. Her death
+followed shortly afterward, caused, no doubt, by the treatment she
+had received. This at the hand and in the cause of philanthropic
+reformers is bad enough, but worse remains. Here is a temperance man’s
+description of the system by which these reformers are guided, and
+which one of our conscientious judges in Connecticut not long since
+truly denounced as infamous. The state referred to is the state of
+the ‘Green Mountain Boys,’ and noble Ethan Allen—Vermont. The manner
+of prosecuting liquor cases is by what is known as the ‘spy system.’
+Every informer who can secure the conviction of any person receives a
+portion of the fine imposed. A respectable justice of the municipal
+court in one of the most important towns in the state is authority for
+the statement that there are certain justices of the peace who make
+a special arrangement with these informers and come in for a share
+of the profits, so that outside of the merits of the case conviction
+is a foregone conclusion every time. The prohibitory law in force in
+this state makes it a crime for a man to sell even a glass of cider.
+In the past few weeks the _World_ correspondent has visited Rutland,
+Burlington, St. Albans, Montpelier and other towns in the state, and
+found in every place that at the hotels and elsewhere liquor was sold
+and no questions asked. In this, as in every other state, where a
+similar law has been in force, people with money and influence can
+freely engage in the traffic with none to molest or make them afraid.
+The class of spies or informers who engage in the work of prosecuting
+liquor cases are the lowest people in the community. They are despised
+by everybody except fanatical temperance reformers, who employ and
+encourage them. A prominent citizen, who has held high office in the
+state and is one of the substantial business men, said the other day:
+‘The result of the prohibitory law has been to honey-comb the social
+community with hypocrisy and immorality. I have closely investigated
+the course of events since this “temperance wave” has swept the state,
+and while drunkenness is not on the decrease other forms of immorality
+are certainly on the increase. I would not permit my daughter, or any
+respectable young lady over whom I might have any influence, to even
+attend the evening meetings of these temperance societies, as I think
+it has been conclusively proved that they promote immorality.’ Such a
+statement coming from an influential and respected citizen, who himself
+practices and inculcates temperance principles, shows the tendency of
+the prohibitory movement in this state.”
+
+It would be an easy matter to collect volumes of evidence on this
+question of the real effect of prohibitory laws, all going to show
+that they do not prevent intemperance, that they do lead to the use of
+other stimulants, that they undermine the character of the community,
+and that, from whatever point of view regarded, they must be considered
+harmful to the individual and to the state. Enough, however, for our
+present purpose and for the space at command has been already said.
+Those best informed will be most ready to say that the presentation
+above given does not overstate, but rather falls short of displaying
+the corruption that creeps in where a prohibitory law is in force.
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER XI.
+
+ WHAT AUTHORITIES SAY.
+
+
+What shall we do to prevent the evils of a too free use of intoxicating
+drinks, and to make our people truly temperate?
+
+This question was ably discussed in the State Board of Health of
+Massachusetts some years ago, and Dr. Bowditch, the chairman of the
+board, expressed himself at that time as follows: “I am confident that
+our people could be gradually led to a higher temperance by appeals to
+common sense while deprecating the evils of intemperance, by observing
+that the use of some liquors is deleterious, while the temperate use of
+others does little or no harm. I deem a love of stimulants as much a
+human instinct as any other of the so-called human instincts. And the
+proposition of total abstinence from stimulants because intoxication
+prevails widely in the community, seems to me as preposterous as
+it would be to advise universal celibacy because of the existence
+of gross evils in connection with those instincts that lead to the
+divine institution of marriage. By classifying all liquors as equally
+injurious, and by endeavoring to further that idea in the community,
+are we not doing a real injury to the country by preventing a free
+use of lager beer instead of ardent spirits to which our people are
+so addicted? In the sincere belief, gentlemen, that this analysis of
+our correspondence will, eventually at least, tend to help onward the
+most excellent cause of temperance everywhere, and in the hope that
+none will be offended at the expression at times, of my own individual
+opinion, which in the course of the discussion I have deemed it my
+right and duty to give, I remain
+
+ Your colleague and friend,
+
+ HENRY J. BOWDITCH,
+
+ _Chairman of the State Board of Health of Massachusetts._”
+
+In his annual report to the State Board of Health, Dr. Bowditch said,
+speaking of the question of temperance in connection with the use of
+light wines and beer, “I fully agree with all that has been said of the
+value of light wines as an aid to temperance, but I sincerely believe
+that Germans are destined to be really the greatest benefactors of this
+country by bringing to us—if we choose to accept the boon—their beer.
+Lager beer contains less alcohol than any of the native or foreign
+grape wines. This fact with the other fact that the Germans have not
+the pernicious habits of our people, would if we chose to adopt their
+customs tend to diminish intemperance in this country. From the study I
+have made, lager beer can be used freely without any apparent injury to
+the individual, or without intoxication, and would be really a promoter
+of the temperance cause, and if we could so manage as to furnish the
+people with lager beer and dispense with distilled or alcoholic liquors
+entirely, the community would be immensely benefited.” And on page 301
+in the same report, the Doctor properly said, “Whisky-drinkers are seen
+staggering through the streets or lying insensible in some corner,
+wherever this beverage is used. But among the light wine tipplers and
+beer-drinkers, even when drinking freely, drunkards are very seldom
+seen.”
+
+We have previously shown that in many cases the introduction of beer
+has added to the welfare of society, and that its use is perfectly
+consistent with habits of sobriety and temperance. From this we
+drew the inference that the production should be encouraged and its
+increase hailed as a sure pledge of improvement in the matters of
+drunkenness, disorder and crime. The same conclusion was reached by
+Dr. Bowditch as the result of correspondence conducted with a view to
+ascertaining fully the actual state of the case at home and abroad. He
+caused a series of inquiries to be carefully prepared and forwarded
+to thirty-three resident American ambassadors and to one hundred and
+thirty-two consuls, also to many other men in private or official
+positions, whose statements and opinions would be entitled to respect.
+When the answers were received the unanimity of the opinions expressed
+was almost startling. _All_ are in favor of beer as a light, wholesome
+beverage, superior even to the light wines. Following are given a few
+extracts from the great mass of answers received:
+
+A physician in Massachusetts writes, “I should make a distinction
+between the use of intoxicating liquors and the lighter drinks. What
+a blessing it would be for the community if we could furnish the
+people with the best of lager beer and dispense with distilled liquors
+entirely.”
+
+Another physician, also resident in Massachusetts, says, “I have had
+a very large practice among the Germans for twenty years, and my
+observation has been that they are remarkably free from consumption and
+chronic diseases. I have attributed it to their free use of lager beer,
+and do conscientiously believe that the moderate use of this beverage
+is beneficial.”
+
+A letter from the consulate general of the United States at
+Frankfort-on-the-Main, reads thus: “Twenty years ago the state of
+affairs in reference to temperance was different. By the improvement
+in making beer and the selling of it to the people at large, at low
+prices, things have changed wonderfully. Drunkards have disappeared. A
+great deal less of cider and wine is consumed. Everybody now generally
+drinks beer. Intoxication has decreased. It cannot be said that the
+general health of the people suffers in this part of Germany. In the
+city of Frankfort, with a population of over one hundred thousand, and
+an average annual mortality of fifteen hundred, hardly five persons
+on an average have died of delirium tremens, which all the eminent,
+physicians here attribute to the free use of lager beer.”
+
+Mr. John Jay of the United States Legation at Vienna says: “I am
+advised by those in whose judgment I have full confidence, that the
+chief drinks in Austria are wine but particularly beer, the latter
+of which is drunk by all classes of society at home and at places of
+amusement, and that but comparatively a small amount of spirituous
+liquors is consumed except in Galicia. Touching the relative amount of
+intoxication in the country where I am residing, and that seen all over
+the United States, I do say that I have seen more intoxicated persons
+in the streets of New York in one day than I have chanced to see in
+Vienna during the past year.”
+
+Baron Liebig, the eminent chemist, makes the following statements:
+“Beer unites in its composition a number of constituents whose action
+is such as to more or less completely neutralize the alcohol whose
+tendency is to exalt the function of the brain and nervous system.”
+
+“Fermented juices, in general, differ from spirits in containing
+alkalies, organic acids and certain other substances.”
+
+“Pure lager beer when taken with lean flesh and little bread yields a
+diet approaching to milk, and with fat meat, approaching to rice or
+potatoes.” And in another place, “In beer-drinking countries, it is the
+universal medicine for the healthy as well as for the sick, and it is
+milk to the aged.”
+
+Dr. Schlaeger of Vienna, also a distinguished chemist, says:
+
+“It is my opinion, based on numerous cases that have come under my
+professional observation, that delirium tremens and other maladies
+to which inebriates are subject are caused chiefly by the use of
+_distilled liquors_. Therefore the manufacture and sale of beer should
+be encouraged. It should be free from taxation in order that it may be
+placed within the reach of all at a low price and thoroughly take the
+place of ardent spirits.”
+
+The editor of the Chicago _Tribune_, writing from Germany, says:
+“Drunkenness is so rare and infrequent that it may be said not to
+exist. I have traveled thousands of miles through Germany, in various
+directions, visiting nearly all the chief cities, and have made
+diligent inquiry of American consuls and other well-informed persons,
+and received but one answer everywhere, _viz._, no drunkenness among
+the Germans; public sentiment would not tolerate it; the habits of the
+country are all against it. And what is the reason of this freedom from
+inebriation? It is the total absence of whisky and the substitution of
+lager beer.”
+

+COUNTY, PA. (See page 26.)]
+
+Mr. Y. G. Hurd wrote to Mr. Bowditch in reference to the beer question
+and after referring to the records of the Essex police court and
+alluding to intemperance caused by ardent spirits, continued as
+follows: “Of all our commitments 60 per cent. are directly traceable
+to drunkenness. Is the enforcement of a prohibitory or any other law
+alone to rid us of the monster? Were there only the pecuniary interest
+of the liquor traffic to meet, powerful as it is, the result would not,
+be doubtful. But there are climatic influences, the universal desire
+for stimulants, the education of our civilization for some centuries,
+social customs and hereditary tendencies, all tending in a greater or
+less degree to perpetuate the evil. * * * * * A visit to Chicago and my
+observation there of the habits of the German population, first brought
+to my mind doubts that total abstinence will ever be an accomplished
+fact. I visited the beer gardens on Sunday to see how the Germans spend
+the day. There was a band of music, a dance floor, rude seats and
+tables like our New England picnics, in a beautiful grove, and lager
+in such quantities as I had never conceived. Everybody, old and young,
+drank and seemed to continue to drink during the afternoon. But lager
+was the only beverage. No liquors, no drunkenness and no fights or
+disorderly conduct. The young men and maidens were merry and danced,
+the elder drank and talked with the gravity and dignity becoming to
+respectable German citizens; the children sipped their glass of lager
+and gamboled on the grass, and all went home apparently sober, to
+resume without doubt, their usual avocations on the morrow. There were
+probably two thousand persons taking their weekly recreation, and this
+was only one of half a dozen similar places about the suburbs of the
+city. Now if this had been an American or Irish congregation, and the
+beverage the usual vile concoctions called whisky, gin and brandy,
+would not the closing scenes of the afternoon have been very different?
+Broken heads, bloody noses, and the wayside strewn with the wrecks
+of humanity in beastly intoxication. I thought if we could be rid of
+the grosser liquors—banish them, put them in the pale of dangerous
+drugs to be only dispensed by the physician like other poisons, and
+substitute the lager of the Germans and the light wines of France and
+_our own country_—should we not be doing our best to exterminate the
+curse of drunkenness? I expect we shall yet come to this conclusion.
+The difficulty is that with the tastes of our people, lager and wines
+will be, indeed, now are, a cover for the sale of the grosser liquors,
+and worse than all, these liquors are without exception, adulterated
+or poisonous. I have written at your request this somewhat candid
+statement of my present views as briefly as possible.”
+
+A physician who has under his professional charge, a large institution
+for the maintenance of aged persons, informs us that the demand for
+stimulus in the form of tea is a matter of constant observation, and
+he moreover gives it as his opinion that from twenty to twenty-five
+per cent. of the whole number are _tea sots_, drinking tea regularly
+from four to six times a day and as much oftener as they can procure
+it. They show the effect of this over-stimulation by increased mental
+irritability, muscular tremors and a greater or less degree of
+sleeplessness. Another fact to the same purport has been communicated
+to us by a friend. A domestic in the family sometimes appeared
+intoxicated and as it was certain she could not get at any of the
+liquors generally considered intoxicating, the circumstance excited no
+little surprise and curiosity. At last the problem was solved by the
+discovery that she drank large quantities of the strongest tea. This it
+will be seen is in exact conformity with the opinion of Mr. Gladstone
+as previously quoted, and more or less marked cases of the same nature
+have doubtless been observed by many of our readers.
+
+A. Schwarz, Esq., of New York, the editor of “Der Americanische
+Bierbrauer,” a man known in both hemispheres, as an able writer and
+chemical student, who by his life-long study in fermented beverages
+has won for himself the thanks of every brewer, writes thus: “Among
+all drinks, as well those which nature furnishes in abundance as those
+which are produced by human skill, lager beer especially commends
+itself by its properties as an excellent beverage.
+
+“Milk contains nutritious substances (protein) and various salts.
+
+“Wine contains alcohol and small quantities of salts.
+
+“Mineral waters, which render such valuable service to the diseased
+human organism, contain carbonic acid and salt.
+
+“Coffee and tea contain volatile aromatic oils and alkaloids.
+
+“Strong spirituous liquors, as whisky, brandy, rum, arrack and gin,
+contain only more or less alcohol, with some etherial oils.
+
+“The various popular so-called temperance drinks are distinguished only
+by their watery contents, which are flavored with sugar and extracts of
+plants and herbs to make them taste less insipid.
+
+“Beer contains protein, alcohol, salts and carbonic acid gas, and hence
+possesses nutritious, stimulating and refreshing properties.
+
+“It is not our intention to write a eulogy of beer. We will only state
+in its favor what cannot be denied by any man, be he a physician or a
+mechanic, a philosopher or a manufacturer, a chemist or an engineer, a
+wine-drinker or a temperance man.
+
+“We denote as extracts of beer those solid substances which are not,
+through the fermentation of the wort, transformed into volatile bodies,
+and therefore remain as a sediment after the evaporation of the beer.
+This extract consists of malt sugar obtained by the mashing process, of
+albumen contained in the malt and now dissolved, and of certain salts,
+especially phosphoric salt, which were originally contained in the
+barley, and have not been lost during the process of brewing.
+
+“The amount of the extract of beer mainly depends on the original
+concentration of the wort and on that state of fermentation in which
+the beer is consumed; it varies from three to eight per cent.
+
+“By virtue of its protein and its salts, it has a very nutritious
+effect upon the human organism, and though it does so in a less degree
+than meat or bread, yet on account of the form of solution in which
+it appears in the beer, it is easier assimilated, _i. e._, it easily
+enters the organism and plays a prominent part in the formation of
+milk, muscle, flesh and bones,—and the quantity of alcohol contained in
+beer is so small and so much diluted with water, that it can produce
+intoxication only if consumed in a very great quantity, _i. e._, by an
+immoderate use.”
+
+An international congress has just been held in Paris on “Alcoholism,”
+and the Belgian delegate, Dr. Barella, constituted himself the
+champion of beer. He contended that the consumption of spirits should
+be discountenanced, because these beverages are harmful, and that
+the consumption of beer should be encouraged, because it is a sound,
+wholesome and harmless drink. He pointed out that in countries where
+the wines are good, and the beers agreeable and nutritive, much less
+spirits are consumed, and _vice versa_.
+
+Following is a summary of the points made in the report of Dr. Bowditch
+previously quoted. They will be found useful and interesting, and
+the whole document deserves the highest praise for thoroughness of
+investigation, caution of statement and fairness of spirit.
+
+1st. Stimulants are used everywhere, and at times abused, by savage and
+by civilized men. Consequently intoxication occurs all over the globe.
+
+2nd. This love of stimulants is one of the strongest instincts. It
+cannot be annihilated, but may be regulated by reason, by conscience,
+by education, or by law when it encroaches on the rights of others.
+
+3rd. Climatic law governs it, the tendency to indulge to intoxication
+being not only greater as we go from the heat of the equator towards
+the north, but the character of that intoxication becoming more violent.
+
+4th. Owing to this cosmic law intemperance is very rare near the
+equator. It is there a social crime and a disgrace of the deepest dye.
+Licentiousness and gambling are small offenses compared with it. To
+call a man a drunkard is the highest of insults. On the contrary at the
+north of 50° it is very frequent, is less of a disgrace and is by no
+means a social crime.
+
+5th. Intemperance causes little or no crime toward the equator. It is
+an almost constant cause of crime either directly or indirectly at the
+north above 50°.
+
+6th. Intemperance is modified by race as shown in the different
+tendencies to intoxication of different people.
+
+7th. Races are modified physically and morally by the kind of liquor
+they use as proved by examination of the returns from Austria and
+Switzerland.
+
+8th. Beer, native light grape wines and ardent spirits should not
+be classed together, for they produce very different effects on the
+individual and upon the race.
+
+9th. German beer and ale can be used even freely without any very
+apparent injury to the individual, or without causing intoxication.
+They contain very small percentages of alcohol (4 or 4.5 to 6.50 per
+cent.). Light grape wines, unfortified by an extra amount of alcohol,
+can be drunk less freely but without apparent injury to the race, and
+with exhilaration rather than drunkenness. Some writers think they do
+no harm but a real good if used moderately. They never produce the
+violent crazy drunkenness, so noticeable from the use of the ardent
+spirits of the north. Ardent spirits, on the contrary, unless used very
+moderately, and with great temperance, and with the determination to
+omit them as soon as the occasion has passed for their use, are almost
+always injurious, if continued even moderately for any length of time,
+for they gradually encroach on the vital powers. If used immoderately
+they cause a beastly narcotism which makes the victim regardless of all
+the amenities and even the decencies of life, or perhaps they render
+him furiously crazy, so that he may murder his best friend.
+
+10th. Races may be educated to evil by bad laws, or by the introduction
+of bad habits. France and a small part of Switzerland are beginning to
+suffer from the introduction of absinthe and other spirituous liquors.
+Especially is this noticeable since the late Franco-German war.
+
+11th. A race, when it emigrates, carries its habits with it. For a time
+at least, those habits may override all climatic law.
+
+12th. England has thus overshadowed our whole country with its love
+of strong drinks, and with its habits of intoxication, as it has more
+recently covered Ceylon, parts of the East and Australia.
+
+13th. This influence on our own country is greater now than it would
+have been if our forefathers, the early settlers, had cultivated the
+vine, which would have been practicable, as seen by the examples of
+Ohio and California, and from the fact that the whole of the United
+States lies in the region of the earth’s surface suited to the grape
+culture.
+
+14th. If these early settlers had done this our nation would probably
+have been more temperate, and a vast industry like that of France, of
+Spain and of Italy and Germany, in light native wines, would long ago
+have sprung up.
+
+15th. The example set by California and Ohio[21] should be followed by
+the whole country, where the vine can be grown. As a temperance measure
+it behooves every good citizen to promote that most desirable object.
+We should also allow the light, unfortified wines of Europe to be
+introduced free of duty instead of the large one now imposed. Instead
+of refusing the German lager beer, we should seek to have it introduced
+into the present “grog shops” and thus substitute a comparatively
+innoxious article for those potent liquors, which now bring disaster
+and death into so many families.
+
+[21] Ohio has already made very great progress in this direction, and
+its wines are lighter than those of California. [Author.]
+
+16th. The moral sense of the community should be aroused to the
+enormity of the evils flowing from keeping an open bar for the sale of
+ardent spirits, while those for the sale of light wines and of lager
+beer or ale should not be opposed, except for the sale to habitual
+drunkards after due notice from friends. Sellers violating such law
+might be compelled to support for a time the family of their victim.
+
+17th. The horrid nature of drunkenness should be impressed by every
+means in our power upon the moral sense of the people. The habitual
+drunkard should be punished, or if he be a _dipsomaniac_, he should be
+placed in an inebriate asylum for medical and moral treatment, until he
+has gained sufficient self-respect to enable him to overcome his love
+of drink.
+
+We give next an extract from an article written by Dr. Willard Parker,
+which article was printed March 20th, 1879, in the _Religious Herald_,
+a temperance paper published at Hartford, Conn. Dr. Parker says:
+“We have never had a single case of an inebriate in the asylum at
+Binghamton, (N. Y.,) who came here from using fermented beverages, he
+may have begun with them and gone on to other and stronger liquors,
+but the mere fermented beverages did not make an inebriate of him;
+* * * and while men use simply fermented liquors with no more alcohol
+than comes from their fermentation, drunkenness is but little known.”
+He says also that fermentation is a process of nature which will
+continue to exist as long as there is sugar and starch. Fermentation
+is the work of omnipotence, not the work of man, it grows out of the
+very constitution of things and is as truly a divine process as growth
+itself.
+
+Professor Mulder of Amsterdam remarks in the preface to his “Chemistry
+of Beer,” page IV., “I dare say without exaggeration that we find
+united in beer all the wholesome substances that are met separately
+in the various carbonic acid mineral waters, in wine and in bread,”
+and in reference to the alcoholic property of beer he says, page 461:
+“Many people are prejudicially influenced by the frequent misuse of
+alcoholic beverages and kept from reasoning honestly and truly as to
+their salubrious effects in a diluted form such as we find in beer. If
+we consider the beneficial effects of good beer on the system we cannot
+help attributing a share in the result to the alcoholic element, even
+if it be held that alcohol has in itself no nutritive power.” The same
+opinion is held by Prof. Pittenkofer, the renowned and well-deserving
+chemist and hygienist, on the strength of numerous observations and
+results of minute examination.
+
+Professor Stahlschmied formerly at Berlin and at present at the royal
+polytechnic school at Aix-la-Chapelle, says in his work “Chemistry
+in reference to Fermentation,” page 255: “Up to the present time,
+experiments on the nourishing properties of beer have not been
+sufficiently numerous to furnish definite conclusions. It is not so
+much the small amount of organic extract that is to be considered as
+the ashes and phosphates which are here provided in a form easy of
+assimilation. In this respect beer is next to milk and furnishes an
+aliment that is directly bone producing.” It is well known that beer
+is very commonly taken by nursing women on account of its nourishing
+and milk-producing qualities and the fact furnishes evidence from
+experience to the same purport as the technical statement just quoted.
+
+The report of the Department of Agriculture at Washington as far back
+as the year 1866 speaks as follows: “The intemperate use of beer is
+like the intemperate use of anything detrimental to health, but a
+moderate use of pure beer will aid digestion, quicken the powers of
+life, and give elasticity to the body and mind and will not produce
+any of the terrible results named by fanatics and ignorant people. In
+certain forms of dyspepsia it is a valuable assistant to other remedies
+and in some cases of debility requiring a mild tonic and gentle
+stimulant beer has been found of the greatest benefit.”
+
+Touching the nutritious properties of beer as compared with the grain
+from which it is made Professor Mulder says: “The food value of beer as
+compared with grain is as one to fourteen, no account being made of the
+food value of the alcohol contained in beer. The albumen value of beer
+as compared with grain is as one to six, the fat as one to seventy and
+the chemical salts as one to twenty-five. On the whole, the latest and
+most trustworthy results of scientific investigation go to show that a
+well brewed beer, properly compounded with hops and well matured, is to
+be considered a beverage which has a most beneficial influence on the
+transmutation of substances in the human body; if moderately taken.”
+
+Sir Henry Labouchere, editor of “Truth” and formerly member of
+Parliament for Windsor and Middlesex, an accomplished linguist, and
+fitted both as an original thinker and by experience in the diplomatic
+_corps_ at most of the capitals of Europe, to form a just opinion, says
+that experience shows that beer is a most wholesome beverage, that when
+pure it is not intoxicating and can be drunk freely, that its use adds
+to the health and strength of man, that intoxication hardly exists
+where it is the national beverage and that its introduction in all
+parts of the world would be a blessing to mankind.
+
+Professors Ure and Huxley, Dr. Harvey, Dr. Abercrombie and Bayard
+Taylor, the celebrated traveler and recent ambassador at the court at
+Berlin, as also our great statesman and historian George Bancroft,
+all came, after careful study and personal observation, to the same
+conclusion, that beer is not only healthy, refreshing and enlivening
+as a beverage, but also an excellent means of rooting out the love of
+strong drink and securing genuine temperance.
+
+Dr. A. Baer, member of the Royal Sanitary Council, and chief physician
+at the prisons of Berlin and Ploetzensee near Berlin has, within
+a few months, published a valuable work on alcoholism. He says,
+“Beer is of all drinks best adapted for a stimulating beverage of
+general consumption. It combines with the refreshing, animating and
+thirst-quenching elements, distinct nutritive qualities, mainly due
+to the abundant presence of certain salts, and thus becomes one of
+the very best substitutes for extract of meat. The greater number of
+characteristic principles of the one are found in the other, but the
+decided nervous animation experienced after drinking beer is chiefly
+due to the large portion of phosphate of potassa, which _Mitcherlich_
+says forms 20 parts in 100 of beer ashes, and which, according to
+Ranke, constitutes the principal active ingredient in meat broth. To
+the presence of this salt, beer owes its strengthening influence during
+convalescence and in cases of general debility, and its marked tendency
+to produce corpulency, as shown in beer-drinkers. In addition to this
+the bitter principle of the hops has a tonic power of marked value in
+assisting digestion while the modicum of alcohol has a stimulating and
+animating effect on the brain. On the whole, beer as a beverage cannot
+be excelled, as it possesses a number of qualities which jointly have a
+most salutary effect upon the human organism.”
+
+In a report presented a short time ago to the Industrial Society of
+Mulhouse the well-known Dr. Schoellamer thus speaks of beer:
+
+“Beer is one of the best drinks that we can recommend, its consumption
+being most wholesome. Good beer ought to be regarded as an excellent
+drink, capable in itself of replacing all other fermented drinks. Thus
+its moderate consumption must be strongly recommended. If its price is
+high a great obstacle is placed in the way of a natural consumption.
+
+“Beer contains from two to eight per cent. of alcohol, a dose of
+carbonic acid equal to three or four times its volume; when it is
+exposed to the air it loses all its gas. It contains besides azote and
+phosphates; for example, a liter of good beer, made exclusively with
+hops and barley, contains 0.80 gr. of azote, which corresponds to 5.26
+grains of albuminoid matters. There are again from 0.60 gr. to 0.80 gr.
+of phosphoric acid, that is as much as in 530 grammes of meat or 220
+grammes of bread. The solid extract of beer contains salts favorable to
+nutrition, etc. It is on these accounts that beer may be considered a
+beverage of the first order.
+
+“It slacks thirst admirably, and as it contains a great deal of water
+it is perhaps the best of all for that purpose. As an alcoholic drink
+it is superior to all spirituous liquors. It is the most tonic, the
+most operative, and the most nourishing. Complete drunkenness is almost
+impossible with ordinary beer, whatever quantity may be consumed; what
+is known as “alcoholism” is not produced by it. In fact beer exercises
+on the human economy a tonic, nutritive, diuretic, and slightly
+stupefying action, the last effect being due to the essential oil
+contained in the hops, but large quantities must be absorbed before
+this effect can be produced.”
+
+Professor W. Nasse, president of the Society of Medical Officers of
+Insane Asylums in Germany, presented for consideration at their annual
+meeting held at Hamburg, Sept. 17, 1876, the following question: “How
+can we specially assist in preventing the injury which results from
+the use of alcoholic liquors?” It was decided that the only means was
+in promoting the use of good mild beer. The same opinion has been
+expressed by Dr. Selman in an address delivered at Dusseldorf, and also
+by Dr. Roller of Illenau, a meritorious specialist in mental diseases,
+and by Professors Griesinger of Zurich and Schreiber-Berzelius of
+Sweden. All the authorities just quoted hold a high rank in their
+profession, and contributions from their pens frequently appear in the
+_Quarterly Journal of Inebriety_, published at Hartford, Conn.
+
+The Contemporary Review has lately published a series of papers on the
+same topic, written in a popular style by several London physicians of
+celebrity, including Dr. Walter Moxon, Sir James Paget and others, and
+all opposing the doctrine of total abstinence and declaring themselves
+in favor of beer as a promotive of the real temperance cause. Dr.
+Albert T. Bernays, too, has considered with great minuteness the cause
+of intemperance and his conclusion is that beer is the safest kind of
+alcohol and should be adopted as a common beverage by all classes of
+people.
+
+In the Minnesota Legislature when the prohibitory law was under
+consideration, Dr. Riley, a representative from Houston county, spoke
+as follows: “In the district where I reside there is a large number of
+Germans who have come from the old country and planted grapes, and now
+there are magnificent vineyards stretching along the hillsides where
+formerly there was not grass enough to feed a sheep. They raise large
+quantities of very fine grapes which they ship all over the country.
+They also make very fine wine. The proposed law will destroy these
+vineyards of my constituents. * * * Perhaps it will be necessary to
+pass a law to protect those miserable drunkards who cannot protect
+themselves but it is not necessary to restrain others of their liberty
+to drink when they want or need it.
+
+“Why, I have seen ladies at a tea-party, perhaps not drunk, but
+certainly very jolly from drinking tea, and yet they come to this
+Legislature with petitions signed by all whom they could influence
+or bulldoze into signing, men, women or children to the number of
+ten thousand. There are eight hundred thousand people in Minnesota,
+and we are proposing to let these ten thousand override the other
+seven hundred and ninety thousand. They claim as prohibitionists that
+drinking tends to impoverish the people. Do you believe that? Look at
+the Germans! Many of them take a piece of land that would scarcely
+support a hog and make a fortune of it. They all drink beer. They take
+their wives and their children to the beer garden and sit down and
+drink their beer every day, and even the babe in arms will stretch
+to get a taste of it. These people are not impoverished by it. These
+people are so healthy in my neighborhood that I have actually not been
+able to make a living out of my German constituents.
+
+“They say it tends to the degeneration of the human race. How does it
+happen that in New England where prohibitory laws are in force the
+race has so degenerated that they do not seem to be able to raise any
+children? Look at the Germans who drink beer all the time. You will
+find a large family of healthy children in almost every German house.
+Are they degenerated?
+
+“The children of total abstinence people are constantly dying. From the
+vital statistics of Minnesota I learn that over two thousand children
+died last year under two years of age. They would not have died if they
+had been fed on good wholesome beer. I would advise mothers—and I have
+advised them in my practice—to give their sickly children plenty of
+beer, and I know I have saved many an infant’s life. Beer is the best
+cure for dyspepsia in the world. I have cured women of this terrible
+disease by advising them to drink three glasses of beer every day, and
+I say again to you mothers that if you will drink beer and feed your
+children on beer you will raise more and healthier children.
+
+“Referring to the vital statistics of the state, I find that but six
+men died of intemperance during last year—two of delirium tremens and
+four of something else, which they couldn’t tell anything about, and
+so called it intemperance. And yet you want to stop drinking. Eleven
+were killed by horses during the same time. Why don’t you abolish
+horses—never use them or go near them? Thirty-five committed suicide.
+Why don’t you prohibit the use of firearms and knives, and drain all
+your lakes and rivers for fear some poor fool will drown himself? Some
+152 died of heart disease. I don’t want any heart in mine. Twenty
+ladies were scalded to death. You ought to prohibit the use of hot
+water for fear that more ladies will get into it and perish.
+
+“England away across the sea has brewed beer for many hundred years and
+will continue to brew for thousands of years more, and to the fact that
+the English people have drunk beer all that time I do conscientiously
+attribute her present greatness. Beer-drinkers are slow but sure. Look
+at Germany, that great nation. We could not pay her for the money we
+have borrowed of her. Her great army, the best in the world, her great
+statesmen, her philosophers, were all raised on beer.”

+HONORARY PRESIDENT UNITED STATES BREWERS’ ASSOCIATION]
+
+The Hon. Frederick Lauer in a speech before the Brewers’ Convention at
+St. Louis, June 4, 1879, thus presents a phase of the beer question
+which is certainly of importance:
+
+“What we now want to ensure the future happiness and prosperity
+of the country is the enactment of liberal laws to induce the
+industrious classes of overcrowded Europe to flock to our shores.
+We want immigration for the purpose of building up our towns and
+cities, developing our manufacturing enterprises, and cultivating the
+millions of fertile acres in this country now lying idle. The thrifty
+German is accustomed to his daily ration of beer. In the land of his
+nativity he has his parks and public gardens, where family unions
+and social gatherings take place amid the ecstatic influence of the
+foaming lager. The English, Irish, Scotch, and people of other European
+countries are noted patrons of malt liquors. The greatest liberality
+should, therefore, be shown them in the indulgence in their customary
+beverages in the land of their adoption. With the more general use of
+malt liquors the hundreds of quack medicines now in the market will
+disappear, as it has been proved by experience in countries where malt
+beverages are the popular drink, that health and longevity are marked
+features, and dyspepsia and chronic complaints are rare. The tide of
+emigration is again swelling to this country. According to the _New
+York Herald_ of the first of May last, the total number of immigrants
+landed at New York for the first three months of 1879 was 11,288, more
+than two-thirds of whom came from Germany, England and Ireland. The
+emigration of aliens to the United States from 1789 to 1877 is set down
+in round numbers at 10,000,000, who, with their descendants have built
+up this great nation. Since May 5, 1847, the emigration to this country
+has reached 5,732,183 souls. In view of these facts nothing should be
+done to interfere with the happiness of those who seek our shores, but
+by means of wise laws they should be protected in the enjoyment of
+their rights and privileges. To be successful as a government we should
+invite immigration, and develop our great natural resources, and then
+by promoting health and temperate habits by the adoption of beer as the
+national beverage, we will increase as a nation, and be in truth and in
+fact the greatest country on the face of the earth.”
+
+
+
+
+ CHAPTER XII.
+
+ CONCLUSION.
+
+
+In the foregoing pages it has been impossible to give a hundredth part
+of the evidence that lies ready at hand in this matter of the use and
+effects of beer, but we have endeavored, by careful selection, to
+present such as must have weight with all readers. Nothing has been
+stated as a fact which cannot be amply corroborated, and no inference
+drawn that did not seem to be fully warranted by the premises. It has
+been shown that beer is wholesome, and so mildly alcoholic as to make
+drunkenness from its use very uncommon. A man who drinks in order to
+become intoxicated, can, no doubt, accomplish his purpose with beer;
+but such men are almost unknown where beer is the common beverage.
+This abnormal impulse usually comes only in consequence of a course of
+ardent spirits.
+
+The evidence as to the cure of intemperance by the introduction of a
+free use of beer is especially important, and one of the most striking
+instances of such success is to be found in the case of Denmark, to
+which we desire again to call special attention. This is the central
+point of the whole question. Heartily desiring the progress of genuine
+temperance, and fully believing that all efforts in the direction of
+prohibition are false in theory and injurious in practice, that they
+do not prevent intemperance and do produce many other evils, we hold
+that the safe and only course is to popularize the use of beer, and
+cannot doubt that government would do well to foster its manufacture
+in every practicable way, and that taxation on the product should
+be abolished, or at least made very light. Such a course would not
+merely secure the very end which has been unsuccessfully attempted by
+prohibitory laws, but it would do much more. It would diminish the poor
+rates, save the money spent in prosecutions, which, after all, do no
+real good, and incidentally improve the whole business condition. Some
+refreshing, stimulating drink the people will have, and legislators
+should seek to guide the instinct, not eradicate it. Men of the highest
+scientific authority have again and again pronounced beer to be not
+merely harmless, but beneficial. Experience in the countries where it
+is most used develops the same result, and the readiness with which it
+is adopted in place of ardent spirits, whenever it is of good quality
+and low price, shows how easily the experiment of temperance on this
+basis can be tried. Even advocates of total abstinence must admit
+that beer is better than whisky. The fact that it adds greatly to the
+enjoyment of a people must not be ignored. Here in America we are apt
+to forget all but the work-a-day part of life, but the demand for
+recreation exists and must be gratified in some way, and almost always
+recreation is social, and is made more enjoyable and cheerful by some
+mild stimulant. It refreshes and enlivens, and so contributes directly
+to the social happiness that is the object sought.
+
+It is to be hoped that legislators in general will soon learn to take
+broader views than seem generally to have prevailed in the past.
+Statesmanship is not bounded by the views of one or the other party
+and is affected by no popular clamor. It does not enact a law because
+it is loudly demanded by a certain set of persons, especially if these
+persons have a hobby to ride, no matter how earnestly they may believe
+in it. A statesman will see for instance in this temperance question,
+that the stay of drunkenness must be through a social change. Legal
+prohibition can do little while all the other conditions of the problem
+remain unchanged. Something must be given for what is forbidden. If
+beer is encouraged ardent spirits can be driven out, and when this idea
+is once thoroughly understood and put in practice we shall have the
+temperance era, so long expected and so ardently desired.
+
+There is another subject which we approach with some reluctance,
+knowing that however carefully our words may be weighed, there is
+a large number of estimable individuals throughout the country and
+particularly in the Eastern states, to whom they will probably give
+offense. We allude to what is called the Sunday question, and the topic
+is treated here because in this country beer drinking is, in the common
+mind, intimately associated with the German Americans and their custom
+of spending part of Sunday in recreation in a beer garden. The fact
+that they do so has been more than once used as an argument against
+them and against the use of beer, as if there were any real connection
+between the character of the drink and such a custom on the part of its
+greatest consumers even supposing the custom to be actually harmful or
+immoral. As such a feeling exists, however, it seems worth while to
+call attention to the fact that what is known as the New England Sunday
+is not an essential part of Christianity as so many honestly suppose,
+but something that in comparison with Christianity is new and local. We
+need hardly say that in the early days of the church it was distinctly
+taught that the time of the Jewish sabbath was past and for several
+hundred years this view was generally held. Notice the following
+passages from the New Testament:
+
+ “The law and the prophets were until John. * * Old things are passed
+ away; behold all things are become new. * * Brethren ye have been
+ called unto liberty; only use not that liberty for an occasion to the
+ flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in
+ one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. * *
+ Love worketh no ill to his neighbor.
+
+ “If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is
+ perfected in us. * * For love is of God; and every one that loveth is
+ born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for
+ God is love. * * But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and
+ walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that
+ darkness hath blinded his eyes.
+
+ “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another. * *
+ Love is the fulfilling of the law.”
+
+Jesus himself taught the disregard of the sabbath as a day of ceasing
+from labor or recreation and are we to suppose that both his teaching
+and practice had no meaning?
+
+Paul says, “One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth
+every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Let
+no man therefore judge you in respect of a holy day or of the new moon
+or of the sabbath days.”
+
+The first legal enactment requiring an observance of Sunday as a
+Sabbath, was foisted upon the Christian world A. D. 321, by Constantine
+the Great—a heartless tyrant who had caused seven members of his family
+to be put to death in cold blood, that he might attain political
+and religious supremacy! He embraced Christianity because the Pagan
+priests and pontiffs could not grant him absolution, and would not
+fraternize with such a murderous monster! Hence he became the father
+of the so-called Sunday laws. Even Constantine’s decree did not
+interdict recreation nor the tillage of the soil. In general, through
+the Christian world, the day was a holiday, such as it now is on the
+continent of Europe. There the hours of service in the churches fall,
+usually, in the morning, and are strictly observed while the rest of
+the day is universally given to enjoyment. Let those, however, who are
+accustomed to cry out at the notion of a continental Sunday, remember
+that they are themselves the innovators, and let them, too, examine the
+following passages from the writings of men whose names must command
+respect, and not one of whom would speak in such a matter without
+mature consideration:
+
+ “It will be plainly seen that Jesus did decidedly and avowedly
+ VIOLATE THE SABBATH. The dogma of the assembly of divines at
+ Westminster, that the observance of the Sabbath is a part of the
+ moral law, is to me utterly unintelligible.”—Archbishop Whately.
+
+ “As for the seventh day, that has gone to its grave with the signs
+ and shadows of the Old Testament. Its imposition by law leads to
+ blood and stoning to death those who do but gather sticks thereon; a
+ thing which no way becomes the gospel.”—Bunyan.
+
+ “The law of the Sabbath being thus repealed, that no particular day
+ of worship has been appointed in its place is evident.”—Milton.
+
+ “They who think that by the authority of the Church, the observance
+ of the Lord’s day was appointed instead of the Sabbath, as if
+ necessary, are greatly deceived.—Melancthon.
+
+ * * “And truly we see what such a doctrine has profited; for those
+ who adopt it far exceed the Jews in a gross, carnal and superstitious
+ observance of the Sabbath.”—John Calvin.
+
+ “As regards the Sabbath or Sunday, there is no necessity for
+ keeping it; but if we do it ought not to be on account of Moses’s
+ commandment, but because nature teaches us from time to time to
+ take a day of rest. * * If anywhere the day is made holy for the
+ mere day’s sake, then I order you to work on it, to ride on it, to
+ dance on it, to do anything that will reprove this encroachment on
+ Christian spirit and liberty.”—Martin Luther.
+
+ “These things refute those who suppose that the first day of the
+ week (that is, the Lord’s day), was substituted in place of the
+ Sabbath, for no mention is made of such a thing by Christ or his
+ Apostles.”—Grotius.
+
+Tyndale the martyr, Erasmus, Paley, McNight and a host of other
+Christian authorities, were and are of the same opinion regarding
+Sabbath observance. England and America stand practically alone in
+retaining so much of the Jewish Sabbath. Here is a letter from Benjamin
+Franklin to Jared Ingersoll of New Haven, Conn., which bears directly
+on the subject and may be read with both interest and profit by those
+who concern themselves in Sunday laws.[22]

+
+ “I should be glad to know what it is that distinguishes Connecticut
+ Religion from common Religion:—communicate, if you please, some of
+ these particulars that you think will amuse me as a virtuoso. When I
+ traveled in Flanders I thought of your excessively strict observation
+ of Sunday; and that a man could hardly travel on that day among
+ you upon this lawful occasion, without Hazard of Punishment, while
+ where I was every one traveled, if he pleased, or diverted himself
+ in any other way; and in the afternoon both high and low went to
+ the Play or the Opera, where there was plenty of Singing, Fiddling
+ and Dancing. I looked around for God’s Judgments, but saw no signs
+ of them. The Cities were well built and full of Inhabitants, the
+ Markets filled with Plenty, the People well favored and well clothed;
+ the Fields well tilled; the Cattle fat and strong; the Fences,
+ Houses and Windows all in Repair; and no _Old Tenor_ anywhere in the
+ Country;—which would almost make one suspect that the Deity is not so
+ angry at that offense as a New England Justice.”
+
+ B. FRANKLIN.
+
+A correspondent of the New York _Staats-Zeitung_[23] writes as follows:
+“The Emperor of Germany has made a contribution to the discussion of
+the Sunday question, that is very much to the point. It is an address
+to the Prussian Synod, which had recently objected to the holding of
+a review on Sunday, and reads thus: ‘He who instituted the Sabbath
+has declared that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the
+Sabbath. The puritanic and Calvinistic conception of the Sabbath as a
+day of penance and repentance, has always been foreign to the feeling
+and taste of the German people.’”
+
+[23] New York _Staats-Zeitung_, Nov. 1, 1879.
+
+These words of the Emperor will receive the hearty assent of every
+German-American, and preachers and pietists may as well understand
+that Germans in America will struggle as long for their free Sunday
+as Germans in their old home have for a free German Rhine. They have
+conquered back the “sacred stream” and something more into the bargain,
+and we here shall have no less success in securing a free, cheerful
+Sunday, if we remain united and true to our principles.
+
+England formerly held the same views that then and since have prevailed
+on the continent, but gradually the liberty of the day was restricted
+and its character wholly changed. We have lately met with an excellent
+summary of the course of legislation that produced this result. It
+marks clearly the various stages of the restrictive process and we
+cannot do better than reproduce it here for the benefit of readers to
+whom it may prove novel.
+
+“Prior to the statute of 1676, any act done on Sunday, except in
+proceedings of courts, was of the same binding force as if performed on
+any other day. Parliament sat on that day, for in the reign of Edward
+I., in 1278 and 1305, three statutes were made on Sunday. Nor did the
+first restraining laws make any distinction between Sundays and other
+holy days. Thus the statute of 28 Edward III., Cap. 14, in 1357, says:
+“Shewing of wools (_i. e._, by merchants) shall be made at the staple
+every day in the week except the Sunday and solemn feasts of the year.”
+No further enactment was made touching the matter in question for
+nearly 100 years; but in 1448 was passed the act of 27 Henry VI., Cap.
+5, entitled, “Certain days wherein fairs and markets ought not to be
+kept,” which sets forth that “The King hath ordained that all manner
+of fairs and markets in said principal feasts (of Ascension, Corpus
+Christi, Assumption, and All Saints) and Sundays and Good Friday shall
+clearly cease from all shewing of any goods or merchandises (necessary
+victuals only except);” but in recognition of the fact that there had
+previously been no such restriction, it is provided that “Nevertheless,
+of his special grace (the King) granted to them power which of old time
+had no day to hold their fair or market, but only upon the festival
+days aforesaid, to hold the same authority and strength of his old
+grant within three days next before said feasts or next after.”
+
+The act of 4, Edward IV., Cap. 7, in 1464, seems to have been
+occasioned by some special irritation from the dishonesty of
+leather-dressers and shoemakers; for, after sundry stringent provisions
+applying to them generally, it is provided that “No person, cordwainer
+or cobbler, within the City of London * * * upon any Sunday in the
+year, or in the feasts of the Nativity or Ascension of our Lord, or
+in the feast of Corpus Christi, shall sell, or command, or do to be
+sold, any shoes, huseaus, or galoches, or upon the Sunday, or any of
+said feasts, shall set or put upon the feet or legs of any person, any
+shoes, huseaus, or galoches.” This statute was repealed in 1522, but
+re-enacted, in part, in 1604.
+
+In 1552 was passed “An act for keeping holy days and feasting days”
+(5 and 6 Edw. IV., Cap. 2), the preamble of which is an instructive
+example of the pains taken by all Christians, Catholic and Protestant,
+prior to the seventeenth century, to deny that Sunday or any other holy
+or feast day, possessed of itself any sacredness or any higher claim
+to observance than that of convenience for the purpose of uniformity
+in worship. It ran thus: “For as much as at all times men be not
+so mindful to laud and praise God * * * as their bounden duty doth
+require; therefore, to call men to remembrance of their duty and help
+their infirmity, it hath been wholesomely provided that there shall
+be some certain times and days appointed wherein the Christian should
+cease from all kinds of labors; * * * neither is it to be thought
+that there is any certain time or definite number of days prescribed
+in Holy Scripture, but that the appointment, both of time and also of
+the number of the days, is left by the authority of God’s word to the
+liberty of Christ’s Church to be determined and assigned orderly in
+every country by the discretion of the rulers and ministers thereof,
+as they shall judge most expedient for the true setting forth of God’s
+glory and the edification of their people; be it therefore enacted,
+that all the days hereafter mentioned (to wit: Sundays, the Feast of
+the Circumcision, and twenty-two other feast days that are named, and
+Mondays and Tuesdays in Easter Week and Whitsun Week) shall be kept
+and commanded to be kept holy days, and none other.” It was further
+provided, “That it shall be lawful to every husbandman, laborer,
+fisherman, * * * upon the holy days aforesaid, in harvest, or at any
+other time of the year when necessity shall require, to labor, ride,
+fish, or work any kind of work at their free wills and pleasure.” This
+Protestant law was repealed the next year by the Catholic government
+of Mary, and restored in 1604, in the first year of James I. It is
+strikingly similiar to the decree of Constantine the Great, made in
+the year 321: “Let all Judges and people of the town rest, and all the
+various trades be suspended, on the venerable day of the sun. Those who
+live in the country, however, may freely and without fault attend to
+the cultivation of their fields * * * lest, with the loss of favorable
+opportunity, the commodities offered by Divine Providence should be
+destroyed.”
+
+In 1558 (1 Eliz., Cap. 2, Sec. 14,) was passed the first law requiring
+attendance upon public worship “upon every Sunday, and other days
+ordained and used to be kept as holy days,” upon pain of church censure
+and a fine of twelvepence.
+
+The English Puritans of the time of James I., were the first to impose
+the name and character of the Jewish Sabbath upon the first day of the
+week, and those who came to America brought the name and the idea with
+them. To that seventeenth-century influence, and not to any scriptural
+or ecclesiastical teaching of any earlier time, are we indebted for
+sermons on Sunday observance. The doctrine held on that subject by most
+evangelical Christians is not yet three hundred years old.
+
+In 1625 was passed a law (1 Car. I., Cap. 1,) that “There should be no
+meeting, assemblies, or concourse of people out of their own parishes
+on the Lord’s day, for any sports or pastimes whatsoever; nor any
+bear-baiting, bull-baiting, interludes, common plays, or other unlawful
+exercises or pastimes used by any persons within their own parishes.”
+“_This statute_,” says Blackstone, “_does not prohibit, but rather
+impliedly allows any innocent recreation or amusement within their
+respective parishes, even on the Lord’s day, after Divine service is
+over;_” _and, in point of fact, both Charles I. and his father before
+him issued proclamations encouraging such amusements after Divine
+service._
+
+In 1676 was enacted the well known “Lord’s Day act,” of 29 Car. II.,
+Cap. 7, which prohibits generally all work, labor, and business on
+Sunday, except works of necessity and charity, and which, with more or
+less modification, forms the basis of all Sunday laws now extant in the
+United States. Exceptions to this law in favor of hackney coachmen,
+fishwomen, and chairmen, were enacted in 1694, 1699, and 1710, and a
+clause prohibiting bird hunting was subsequently added, but it remained
+in substance until alterations and repeals of English laws ceased to
+have any force in this country.”
+
+As an historical matter the question is not very abstruse and the truth
+is well enough known to scholars everywhere; should there not then be
+charity for honest convictions?
+
+In many cases the practice for years has been tolerably liberal while
+all the time the old and stringent puritanical Sunday laws of 1702 were
+retained on the statute books liable to be enforced whenever a minority
+should choose to demand their revival.

+
+Such cases have recently been seen in many places in this and other
+states, but particularly so in Newark, N. J., where the enforcement
+of such an old act forbidding the sale of beer and other beverages
+on Sunday caused a reaction of unexpected violence, and very
+characteristic of the profound change that has already taken place in
+the popular conception of the day. The circumstances in brief were as
+follows: A considerable number of prohibitionists had organized under
+the name of the Law and Order Association for the purpose of enforcing
+the Sunday law and preventing the licensing of bar rooms. Numerous
+prosecutions were made and carried through to conviction under the old
+state law after having failed in the city police courts. Thereupon the
+Citizens’ Protective Association was formed and in September, 1879,
+a demonstration was made by a great procession, and the adoption of
+resolutions calling for a repeal of the law which, after lying idle so
+long, had suddenly been revived to the great injury of an established
+business, and with manifest injustice to a large number of peaceable
+citizens who conceived their rights to be interfered with, inasmuch as
+a law long inoperative must practically be regarded as a dead letter
+and ignored by those who, if they had supposed it to possess vital
+power, would have removed from its jurisdiction or taken pains never
+to come within it. The procession numbered ten or twelve thousand and
+great enthusiasm was displayed, not only in the ranks, but by residents
+all along the line of march. The matter was evidently one which took a
+deep hold on the feelings of the community and none the less because of
+a common feeling that they had been unfairly treated by the appeal to a
+law not in harmony with the spirit of the times or of abstract justice.
+A crowd is very apt to be wrong and it is easy to stir up the people,
+but here the crowd had more reason on its side than it was itself
+aware of, reason founded on history, and making the law that had been
+enforced an unwarrantable attack on personal liberty. They felt that
+it was so, though few probably would have been able to give a clear
+explanation of the feeling or trace its justification by the facts.
+As for enthusiasm, we are told that it needed no stimulus and can
+easily believe it to have been so, for aside from the more abstract and
+philosophical justice of their complaint, there was the immediate smart
+felt by men who lose the day of recreation to which they have looked
+forward all the week, or find that they are to suffer a pecuniary loss
+and that their occupation is not only checked but stigmatized. The
+matter made a great excitement and called out many bitter paragraphs on
+both sides, but chiefly among the more narrow-minded and pharisaical
+of so-called religious press. We have no space or disposition to go
+into the details of their criticism, even for the sake of illustrating
+how far misrepresentation and innuendo may be made to stand in place
+of careful statement and sound argument. The case has been spoken of
+because it is in some sense typical, because it represents the course
+of public thought and feeling, and the change which even within two or
+three generations has come over the rigid enactments of puritan early
+settlers. These puritans did much good but it was all tempered and
+shadowed by an austere severity that has no merit in itself and that
+crushes out much the better part of life and obscures many a truth that
+in itself is clear as noonday. The mind of the people has changed. It
+is time that the law should be changed also. The _Christian Union_ has
+said, “The sooner the issue is made in Chicago between a whole sabbath
+and none at all, the sooner the Christian element in the community
+will win the victory it will deserve. Half a sabbath is hardly worth
+fighting for.” We say that the best rule for observing the day is that
+which gives the greatest amount of harmless freedom and enjoyment to
+the greatest number, each according to his own judgment and conscience.
+Our foreign element is very large and has its own beliefs and
+traditions, as dear and as implicitly held as those of any one whose
+training and practice have been after the strictest sabbatarian pattern.
+
+We have attempted here no argument, but simply given some cardinal
+facts, and now leave the matter in the hope that those who dissent will
+at least respect honest utterance and not allow their objections on
+this one point to prejudice them against our discussion of the value of
+malt beverages as aids to genuine temperance and useful friends to man.
+
+We close as we began, with the words which seem to us to indicate the
+only practical road to real temperance, and record again our motto
+
+ BEER AGAINST WHISKY.

+
+It will be seen from the above table that Germany, exclusive of German
+Austria, brews the enormous quantity of 885,646,782 gallons of beer,
+or about 20.7 to each individual in a population of 42,727,360. Most
+of this is consumed at home, and great quantities are imported from
+Christiana, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark, while ale and porter are
+largely brought from England.
+
+It is worthy of notice that Bavaria, which has been known for centuries
+as the cradle of men of arts and sciences, stands at the head of the
+list of beer producing countries. With a population of only about
+five millions, it brews three hundred and twenty-nine million gallons
+or 65.5 gallons to every individual; and next in rank is the little
+kingdom of Wurtemberg, the native state of the great Schiller. Munich,
+the capital of Bavaria is especially celebrated for the long array of
+men of arts, letters and science who have either been born there or
+adopted it as a residence. But it is, at the same time, the greatest
+beer-drinking city in the world. It produced in the year 1876 no less
+than 1,198,951 hectoliters = 31,772,201 gallons, and its actual home
+consumption in that year was 956,455 hectoliters = 25,346,057 gallons,
+which, in a population of 198,000, gives 128 gallons a year for every
+individual, costing in all $6,216,955, or about $31 per head. The
+amount paid for beer is less by $1,363,800 than the amount paid for
+house rent. In the years 1877 and 1878 the amount paid for beer fell
+off, but for the current year (1879) it will, according to statistics
+thus far received, be larger than ever before. The taxes for the
+municipal government and city taxes are less than a tenth of the amount
+expended for beer—and yet there is not a more orderly and well behaved
+city in the world than this same Munich. All this is indirect evidence
+of great importance as to the social and intellectual effect that may
+be expected to follow a free and even a very large use of beer.
+
+Vienna stands in a similar category though it offers a less striking
+illustration of the case than Munich does. It has, however, one brewer
+whose operations are extensive enough to deserve special mention. This
+is the well-known Anton Dreher, whose business, begun at Schwechat
+in 1836, now comprises large establishments in four Austrian cities,
+with an annual product of 500,000 barrels, paying a government tax of
+$750,000.00 or more. The business employs combined water and steam
+engines of 100 horse power, 400 brewers, 200 teamsters and common
+laborers, 150 horses, and no less than 250 draught oxen.
+
+Karlsruhe, the capital of Baden is also an important brewing city. Its
+product is 4,884,350 gallons, and of this amount something over one
+million gallons is contributed by the Albert Printz brewery alone.
+
+It is, however, useless to attempt any mention of the cities or
+districts that are distinguished for the quantity or quality of their
+beer. We can only say that they are very numerous, and add that their
+character is such as to corroborate all that has been said in this book
+touching the beneficial effects of a free use of beer in the community.

+
+ ILLUSTRATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF BREWERIES.
+
+
+The brewery of modern times is very different from anything conceived
+of one or two hundred years ago. Not merely its extent but all its
+appliances are characteristic of this busy, progressive age, that knows
+how to plant money in extensive outfits and supervision, in order that
+it may yield a greater return, just as seeds put in rich earth and
+carefully tended during growth give larger harvests of better quality
+than were ever looked for in the old hap-hazard, starving plan. We
+cannot mention one in fifty of those who deserve notice. Think, for
+instance, of the great brewery of M. T. Bass, at Burton on Trent,
+which produces about one million barrels a year; or those of Anton
+Dreher, turning out five hundred thousand barrels, and see if it is
+possible to attain such results except by modern processes and modern
+business energy. No house in the United States has yet reached so
+great a product, but more than one is on the direct way, and it is
+not only possible but probable that within fifty years the largest
+establishments and the finest beer will be found in this country. In
+the multitude of those who fairly deserve mention it seems almost
+invidious to select a few, but it has seemed best to give a brief
+account of some that, in one way or another, may be regarded as typical
+exponents of this department of American industry. Those mentioned are
+not always the largest or best known, but they represent different
+parts of the country and together form a tolerable epitome of the
+whole brewing business, with its larger and smaller breweries, old and
+new establishments, and various ways of procedure, the common feature
+being that all endeavor to produce a thoroughly good article, and trust
+to the merit of the product for success rather than to any temporary
+advantages that may be gained by cheapening their brew at the expense
+of its flavor or wholesomeness. This is the noticeable fact in the
+brewing trade at the present time.
+
+
+ HISTORICAL SKETCH OF HON. FREDERICK LAUER OF READING, PA.
+
+The brewery of Mr. Frederick Lauer of Reading, Pa., is not only among
+the oldest in the country, but has remained from the beginning in the
+hands of the Lauer family. It was established in 1823 at Womelsdorf, a
+few miles from Reading, by the father of the present proprietor, who
+had just arrived from Germany. In 1826 it was removed to Reading, and
+the business started on the same spot where it is now carried on. The
+elder Lauer was an indefatigable worker, and is said at this time to
+have taken no more than two or three hours regular sleep a day. In 1835
+his son Frederick succeeded to the sole proprietorship of the brewery,
+and its progress from this time was very rapid. For several years ale
+and porter had been brewed, but no lager beer was made in the country
+until 1842. In the year 1844 Mr. Lauer began to brew lager beer, and
+was thus one of the pioneers in this industry; and since that time ale,
+lager beer and porter have been produced constantly. The brewery is a
+model of neatness and convenience, perfect in every appointment and
+the special pride and pet of its owner, who would much rather lose a
+year’s profits than tolerate dirt or disorder or the production of a
+poor beer. Mr. Lauer has not, however, been constantly occupied with
+his private business. For at least thirty years he has been one of
+the prominent men of the city of Reading; has held various important
+public positions, political and otherwise, and has done great service
+in securing equable legislation in matters affecting the brewing
+trade. A man of quick perception and untiring energy, he has again and
+again accomplished alone, or nearly alone, things that were considered
+almost impossible, and from whose attempt his associates recoiled. An
+instance in point is thus described in a recently published sketch of
+his life: “The way the tax was saved was as follows: Shortly before the
+adjournment of Congress, he (Mr. Lauer) received a letter apprising him
+that the Committee on Ways and Means were about advising an increase.
+He immediately telegraphed to the nearest members of the Brewers’
+Committee to join him at Washington. They had an interview with the
+Committee of Ways and Means, but the Committee refused to make any
+modification in the bill, as it had already passed the first reading in
+the House. There were ten members of the Brewers’ Committee, nine of
+whom, after the interview, agreed to allow the fifty cents increase and
+make no further exertion in the matter. Mr. Lauer, the tenth, was not
+satisfied; and, after gaining the consent of the Committee, he called
+on a number of members of the House, and urged upon them the ruinous
+consequences to the brewing business which would follow the passage of
+the bill as reported. The same day, February 11, 1865, the bill came up
+in Committee of the Whole, when the desired modification was made by a
+vote of seventy-three to sixty-eight, and the following week the bill
+came up for final passage, when the bill, as modified, was passed by a
+majority of four. The members from Kentucky who had voted against the
+modification in the first place, voted for the bill when it came up on
+the third reading, they having been influenced through the exertions of
+Mr. Lauer. Immediately after its passage, Thad. Stevens, chairman on
+the Ways and Means, jumped up and exclaimed, ‘That d—d Lauer did it.’”
+
+This is only one of many instances in which Mr. Lauer’s efforts have
+been of the greatest value to brewers at large and incidentally to the
+whole country. He was the first president of the United States Brewers’
+Association, and has more than once been able in time of scarcity to
+secure such shipments of malt or hops from foreign countries as to
+relieve the distress and materially reduce the inflated price of these
+articles.
+
+
+ THE JOSEPH SCHLITZ BREWING CO., MILWAUKEE, WIS.
+
+In the year 1849 Mr. August Krug built a small brewery at Milwaukee on
+Chestnut street, between 4th and 5th streets, and the year after he
+added vaults of a capacity of 150 barrels, situated on the corner of
+3d and Walnut streets. His sale was about 250 barrels. From this small
+beginning there developed one of the largest breweries in the country.
+
+Mr. Krug died in 1856, and Mr. Joseph Schlitz who had come to Milwaukee
+during the previous year took the management of the business which
+at first increased only moderately although managed with skill and
+energy. In the year 1865 the sales were 4,400 barrels. Five years
+later he began the erection of the present brewery on the corner of 3d
+and Walnut streets, the same place where the original vaults had been
+situated. The greater part of the present buildings were completed
+within two years, and the sales for 1871 amounted to 12,283 barrels.
+The period of rapid development had now been reached, and the advance
+up to the present time has been remarkable as may be seen from the
+following table of the yearly sales, beginning with the year 1870.
+
+ 1870, Barrels, 8,707
+ 1871, “ 12,283
+ 1872, “ 30,868
+ 1873, “ 49,623
+ 1874, “ 69,624
+ 1875, “ 74,813
+ 1876, “ 71,017
+ 1877, “ 79,538
+ 1878, “ 82,068
+ 1879, “ ending April, 110,832
+
+In 1874 the business was made into a stock company under the title
+“Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company,” with Mr. Schlitz as president, the
+secretary and superintendent being respectively, Mr. August Uihlein and
+Mr. Henry Uihlein. Being thus partially relieved of the immediate cares
+of business Mr. Schlitz in the following year sailed for Germany to
+visit his native home of Mayence. The vessel was the Schiller, which,
+as all readers must remember, was wrecked on the Scilly Islands, May 7,
+1875, and Mr. Schlitz was one of the many victims of that disaster. In
+these circumstances the company organization was probably a fortunate
+circumstance for the business. The death of a sole proprietor or even
+a sole nominal proprietor is apt to derange a business, no matter how
+capable the successor may be, and this difficulty is almost avoided
+in the case of an established company. The present management is as
+follows:
+
+President, Henry Uihlein; secretary, August Uihlein; superintendent,
+Alfred Uihlein. The brewery in its present form occupies two whole
+squares, and still larger accommodations may be needed at no distant
+day. There is a new ice-house 100 × 124 feet, four stories high, and
+with a twenty-four foot basement. The cellars have a capacity of 25,000
+barrels; the whole storage capacity is 70,000 barrels, and the brewery
+is already fitted for the production of 200,000 barrels a year. There
+is a large coopering establishment and the gathering of ice alone
+occupies 300 men and 90 teams for about twenty days every year. The
+beer is sent all over the United States and to Brazil, Central America
+and Mexico, in both barrels and bottles. About one million bottles were
+sold in 1877, and in the succeeding year the amount was more than two
+millions. The bottling department alone occupies a building 46 × 150
+feet, with basement, and fitted with all conveniences for the work.
+
+The analysis of this beer gives the following result for the percentage
+of alcohol: ordinary lager beer 4.5 volumetrically, and 5.6 by weight.
+The bottled lager beer shows as a result of four analyses within six
+months, six per cent. of alcohol volumetrically, and 4.8 by weight.
+This is certainly an excellent showing, and calculated to enhance the
+reputation of any brewery.
+
+
+ THE BREWERY OF MR. GOTTFRIED KRUEGER, NEWARK, N. J.
+
+The brewery now owned by Mr. Gottfried Krueger was founded in 1851 by
+Louis Adam and J. Braun, the latter of whom died before the buildings
+were completed. Mr. Adam at once formed a partnership with John Laible
+under the firm name of Laible & Adam, and pushed the work so well that
+within the year brewing was commenced, and a sale of 1,200 barrels for
+the first twelve months secured.
+
+The property then consisted of six city lots, a small frame house
+partly used as a saloon, a one-story frame brewery thirty feet square,
+a stable for two horses and vaults for 500 barrels of beer. The brewing
+capacity was about twenty barrels.
+
+In 1852 Mr. Gottfried Krueger, the present proprietor, came to this
+country, and being a relative of Mr. Laible entered the brewery as an
+apprentice. Here he remained until Messrs. Laible and Adam dissolved
+partnership in 1855, Mr. Laible building a new brewery and Mr. Adam
+continuing the old business. Mr. Krueger accompanied Mr. Laible and
+became foreman in the establishment where he remained until 1865
+when in conjunction with Mr. Gottlieb Hill he bought the old brewery
+of Louis Adam and commenced business under the firm name of Hill &
+Krueger. During the interval a new brewery had been added and a new
+stable for six horses, while the sale had increased to 4,000 barrels
+and the brewing capacity to fifty barrels. This advance, however, was
+destined to be greatly surpassed by that made under the new management.
+The first step was the building of two new vaults of a capacity of
+5,000 barrels. This together with numerous minor improvements was
+accomplished during the first year, and within the same time the sale
+of beer was doubled. The years next succeeding saw a rapid development.
+In 1866 the firm built a new three-story brick malt and store-house; in
+1876 a large building for fermenting rooms; in 1868 stables for twenty
+horses; in 1869 an ice-house of 4,000 barrels capacity, and also vaults
+for 2,000 barrels. The result fully justified these preparations for an
+enlarged business for the sale increased steadily year by year and in
+1875 amounted to 25,000 barrels.
+
+At this time Mr. Hill was compelled by the state of his health to
+retire from business, and on the 16th of February, 1875, Mr. Krueger
+became the sole owner of the property which then covered the entire
+block. Adding in 1878 a model office building and in 1879 new stables
+for forty-five horses, he has now one of the finest breweries in the
+State. The sale for the current year will be over 40,000 barrels.
+
+In explanation of the cut we may add that the malt and brew-houses
+are situated on Belmont avenue, the office and stables on West Kinney
+street, the ice-house on Charlton street, and the yards etc., on
+Montgomery street.
+
+Every one connected with the establishment, from Mr. Krueger down,
+is thoroughly fit for his duties and zealous in their discharge. The
+management is by the proprietor himself, ably seconded by Mr. Theodore
+C. W. Eggerking who has been long and successfully connected with the
+business.
+

+
+
+ APPENDIX D.
+
+ LIST OF BREWERS WITH PRODUCT FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, 1878 AND 1879.
+ ALSO, PRODUCT BY STATES.
+
+
+There is some difference of opinion as to the propriety of publishing
+such information as the annual product of the various breweries in
+the country, and it therefore seems proper to explain why it has been
+decided to give the figures in these pages, and how the information has
+been obtained.
+
+For some time the particulars were furnished to certain parties in
+Chicago and New York, by a clerk in the Internal Revenue Department
+at Washington. In this there was probably an injustice, for what is
+demanded by the law cannot be withheld by the brewer, and both analogy
+and general reasoning indicate that this forced information should
+be considered as confidential, and not exposed to the comment of
+indifferent persons or business rivals.
+
+This view of the case is the one now held by the Department, as appears
+from the following correspondence:
+
+ _Official._
+
+ FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE.

+
+ TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D. C.,

+
+ HENRY H. RUETER, ESQ.,
+
+ _President United States Brewers’ Association_.
+
+ SIR: Your attention is called to an article in the _Brewers’ Gazette_
+ of August 15, ultimo, headed, “Thrown Together; A Comparative View
+ of the so-called Brewers’ Returns,” in which are embraced copies of
+ letters from this office in relation to lists of reports of sales of
+ fermented liquors for the years 1878 and 1879, as published by the
+ _Western Brewer_ and A. E. Tovey.
+
+ Please inform me whether the brewers of the United States desire
+ that such tabulated statements be prepared by this Bureau as therein
+ stated for publication.
+
+ Very respectfully,
+
+ (Signed) GREEN B. RAUM,
+
+ _Commissioner_.
+
+
+ REPLY OF THE PRESIDENT OF BREWERS’ ASSOCIATION.

+
+ UNITED STATES BREWERS’ ASSOCIATION,
+
+ BOSTON, September 25, 1879.
+
+ GEN. GREEN B. RAUM,
+
+ _Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington, D. C._
+
+ SIR: In reply to your esteemed letter of the 15th inst., referring to
+ the preparation and publication of tabulated statements of brewers’
+ sales, and asking if, in my opinion, the brewers of the United States
+ desire that such tabulated statements be prepared by the Internal
+ Revenue Bureau—I beg to state, that I have no data which would enable
+ me to answer your question definitely. Many brewers, undoubtedly,
+ feel indifferent in the matter; some may favor the publication, and
+ others are opposed to it. They argue that there is no parallel case
+ in any other branch of trade; that individual business affairs should
+ not be thus made public; that the publication of individual sales
+ leads to undue competition; and that these lists are a bone of bitter
+ contention between the publishers.
+
+ If the inquiry has been addressed to me with reference to the future
+ action of the Department, I beg leave to suggest that the brewers’
+ wishes can be best ascertained at their next yearly meeting, in June,
+ and I would respectfully ask you to delay action in the matter till
+ then.
+
+ I am, sir, most respectfully yours,
+
+ HENRY H. RUETER.
+
+
+ANSWER TO ABOVE FROM INTERNAL REVENUE DEPARTMENT.
+
+ TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
+
+ OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
+
+ WASHINGTON, September 29, 1879.
+
+ HENRY H. RUETER, ESQ.
+
+ _President United States Brewers’ Association, Boston, Mass._
+
+ SIR: Acknowledging the receipt of yours of the 25th instant, in
+ reply to office letter of the 15th instant calling attention to an
+ article published in the _Brewers’ Gazette_ relative to errors in
+ reports of sales of fermented liquors for the years 1878 and 1879,
+ as published by the _Western Brewer_ and A. E. Tovey, and inquiring
+ if such publications were considered desirable by the brewers of the
+ United States, I have to say that I fully concur in your opinion
+ that, while some may favor the publication of such statistics, others
+ would object thereto, and would argue that there is no parallel case
+ in any other branch of trade; and that individual business affairs
+ should not thus be made public; that such publications lead to
+ undue competition; and that they become a bone of bitter contention
+ between publishers. For this reason, I have decided to prohibit the
+ furnishing of such lists hereafter to any and all parties.
+
+ Respectfully,
+
+ R. E. ROGERS.
+
+ _Acting Commissioner._
+
+On the other hand, while it is certain that many brewers are glad to
+have their product extensively stated, it is at least probable that
+very few have any real objection. In order to test the question we sent
+a printed form of inquiry, as to production, to all the brewers in
+the country. A large majority furnished the desired information, and
+as many others doubtless failed to answer simply through negligence
+or indifference, it seemed certain that the number of objectors
+was so small that this list might be published with propriety and
+to the satisfaction of far the larger part of those interested. It
+is to be noticed that this is a very different thing from printing
+enforced statements, without a shadow of authority from the brewers
+themselves. In this book the figures are generally furnished by the
+brewers and for this very purpose. Where no reply has been received,
+the product has been stated according to the best testimony that could
+be obtained, and the total result is certainly more accurate than
+any yet published. This is not because the government returns were
+incorrect, but because of carelessness in transcription, or errors
+of the types, or both. Whatever the cause, so many errors have been
+discovered in the so-called official lists of those who obtained their
+information through Washington, as to greatly impair the value of
+those tables, and create much dissatisfaction among those who find
+an erroneous impression of their business thus disseminated through
+the country. Without claiming that our own are absolutely free from
+error, we are prepared to maintain their substantial correctness and
+their superiority to any yet offered to the public. The product here
+shown is greater than that stated earlier in this book. The returns
+on which that statement was made seem to have been incomplete at the
+time of publication, unless the fault lies in the transfer of figures
+or in the footings, a kind of defect from which few public documents
+of a statistical character are wholly free. The number of breweries
+here given is less than the former statement, owing to the omission
+of a considerable number of the smaller establishments, concerning
+which no satisfactory information could be obtained, and the further
+omission of those whose owners were known to object to a publication
+of their business. The total product of all so left out is known to be
+inconsiderable, though it cannot be exactly ascertained.
+
+Those most apt to find fault with a public statement of the amount of
+their business are the smaller brewers, who sometimes fear that their
+business will suffer if it is known that they dispose of less beer
+than some rival. To such it may be said that a good business need not
+be a large one. There are plenty of men in the country who work on a
+comparatively small scale, and yet would not be induced to extend their
+operations. They make enough, as it is, to satisfy their wants, and
+they are not loaded down by the cares that attend a struggle to sell
+as much as possible. They fear no injury because their sale is not so
+large as that of some one else, and they are perfectly in the right, as
+experience shows. Still again, there are many small breweries to-day,
+that will be great fifteen or twenty years from now. We have shown in
+Appendix C something of the possibilities of sudden development in this
+business, and with the increasing taste for beer these opportunities
+will be better than ever. It is not against a brewery that it is small.
+Its product may be of the first quality, and it may be small simply
+because the owner does not care to have it large.
+
+Other considerations might be adduced, but it seems as if enough had
+been said to justify the printing of statistics prepared as are those
+here furnished, especially as they must be interesting to every one
+who makes a study of the beer question and wants as much and as varied
+information as he can obtain.

+

+promoters of the great and glorious cause of genuine temperance,
+and that greater practical results may be attained
+through their instrumentality than in any other way, it
+seems fitting that this attempt to expound the true nature
+and value of beer should be specially dedicated to them as
+a body, and accompanied with the assurance of the author’s

+
+<p>Our object in presenting the following pages to
+the public, is to call attention to the value of pure
+beer as a preventive of intemperance. Few persons
+are aware of the amount of patient investigation this
+question has received at the hands of eminent social
+economists and men of science, or of the mass of facts
+and testimony that has been collected, and lies ready
+at the hand of any one who is able and willing to
+work it over into a compact consecutive form, in
+which it shall be easy of access, and available for use
+in the further discussion of the subject. This we
+have attempted to do thoroughly and fairly. Great
+caution has been used in making statements and no
+inference has been drawn that could be considered in
+any way forced or doubtful.</p>
+
+<p>There are doubtless many persons to whom some
+of the facts and conclusions here presented, may
+seem strange or even startling, and to such it must
+be said that the authorities quoted are generally men
+whose reputation for accuracy and sound judgment
+stands so high that they cannot afford to make a
+mistake or a loose assertion.</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[10]</span></p>
+<p>The work has involved much labor and historical
+research, and the author believes that the information
+contained in the following pages cannot fail to
+be of value to those who are interested in any phase
+of the beer question, whether as brewers, legislators
+or students of sociology. The end proposed to be
+served is that of temperance, and the method suggested
+is one that has been successfully tried in other
+countries. From the total abstinence party we ask
+the candid examination of our facts and arguments
+that is due to a fair statement from all who claim respect
+for their own opinions, and are honest friends
+of real temperance.</p>

+</div>
+
+
+<p>As extremes do and must perforce exist, the noblest
+philosophy of life is <em>compromise</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Temperance then is the truest medium between total
+abstinence and excess, and in the same manner, beer occupies
+the medium position between ardent spirits and water.
+This fact is of the greatest importance, and until the public
+thoroughly understands the differences, whether from a
+moral, social, economic, or sanitary point of view, between
+distilled and fermented liquors, or in other words, beer and
+whisky there can be no hope of proper legislation as to the
+traffic in these articles. This legislation is now greatly
+influenced by the public advocates of total abstinence,
+among whom, if their own repeated claims be taken into
+account we might expect to find only disinterested, high-minded
+philanthropists. But it is notorious that their ranks
+are largely swelled by ignorant, ambitious or foolish men,
+whose vanity or pecuniary interest determines their action,
+and whose persistence and numerical strength will constitute
+an effective power until legislative bodies and the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[12]</span>people at large are more thoroughly informed as to the
+actual experience of countries in which the problem has
+been dispassionately studied and brought to a successful solution.
+In too many of our states the liquor laws represent
+the triumph of ignorance and prejudice over reason and the
+welfare of the community. We hold that the solution of
+the temperance question is to be found through fermented
+liquors, and “<span class="smcap">Beer Against Whisky</span>” is our motto.</p>
+
+<p>Before coming, as we shall do later in this book, to a detailed
+examination of the facts in regard to the use of beer,
+it may be well to declare briefly our position, and give some
+indication of the kind of testimony that will be more fully
+displayed under a separate heading.</p>
+
+<p>We hold that the production and sale of beer is so far
+from being subversive of public morals, that experience in
+all countries where beer is the national beverage, demonstrates
+precisely the opposite of this position. We hold
+too, that the use of beer is not merely indifferent, but,
+within the limits of temperance ( <i>i. e.</i> moderation), a good
+and rational means of developing the mental and bodily
+powers of man.</p>
+
+<p>We cannot join in the gratulations of those who now—as
+they say—so enthusiastically enjoy the blessings of total
+abstinence. During the last thirty years we have seen
+something of the operation of this enthusiasm, not only in
+Great Britain, but in the native state of the originator of
+the movement in this country, and we find it impossible to
+assent to the famous proposition that a pledged abstainer is
+a drunkard saved. We have been convinced that a pledged
+abstainer is too often a man who drinks in secret and thus
+adds hypocrisy to his other sins.</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[13]</span></p>
+<p>Notice this passage from evidence given before a state
+committee appointed to inquire into the action of the restrictive
+laws. The Hon. James H. Duncan of Haverhill,
+says:</p>
+
+<p>“My observation and convictions are, that temperance
+has not been promoted by the prohibitory law; that the
+temperance of our people is not so good now as before the
+passage of the law; it has no efficacy in checking intemperance
+and the evils that result from it; it has been productive
+of more mischief than good, and I think it an unwise
+act. It is impossible to make that a crime which is not
+made a crime by the divine law, and the use of beer, wine
+and cider cannot by any effort be made a crime <i lang="la">per se</i>, yet
+the prohibitory statute makes it a crime to sell either, and
+worse, it is a crime for a carrier to carry them. No wonder
+that such a law demoralizes the community, for a vast
+amount of lying and fraud have been called into existence
+through its agency.”</p>
+
+<p>The Rev. George Putnam, D.D., said; “I believe and
+know that the prohibitory law produces demoralization, and
+disrespect for a law that cannot be enforced. It demoralizes
+jurors and witnesses. It demoralizes the buyers and
+sellers of liquors, inducing them to resort to all manner of
+frauds, tricks and evasions to do that unlawfully which they
+cannot do lawfully. It is injurious to the conscience of the
+people to be always violating this law; and so far as liquor
+selling is concerned the law has done no good.”</p>
+
+<p>These extracts and many others to be given later, go to
+prove that it is most unwise to interfere with the social
+habits of a people, that it is dangerous for a state to do so,
+and that, as a matter of fact, temperance is not promoted
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">[14]</span>by a prohibitory law. Public testimony that such laws are
+a blunder, or worse, has been given by such men as John
+Quincy Adams, Professor Agassiz of Cambridge, Rev.
+Leonard Bacon, D. D., of Connecticut, Professor Bigelow
+of Boston, Professor Edward Clark of Boston, ex-Governor
+Clifford, the late Right Rev. M. Eastburn, D. D., the late
+Governor Andrews, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, all of
+Boston, ex-Governor Washburn of Massachusetts, Professor
+Bowen of Cambridge, General Burrell of Roxbury,
+Hon. Joel Parker of Cambridge, Judge Patch of Lowell,
+Hon. James H. Duncan of Haverhill, Mass., Rev. George
+Putnam, D. D., of Mass., Dr. Garcelon, Governor of Maine,
+Dr. Willard Parker of the Inebriate Asylum at Binghamton,
+N. Y., A. Schwartz, Esq., the distinguished editor and
+publisher of the <i lang="de"> Americanischer Bierbrauer</i>, and many
+others, comprising eminent statesmen, judges, and divines
+of all the states of the Union.</p>
+
+<p>Our legislators should consider it their solemn duty to
+protect and foster the manufacture and sale of pure beer,
+and should frame such laws as will protect the people
+against imposition and secure the manufacture of an article
+that shall not only be made from good materials, but be
+thoroughly well brewed and wholesome, and sold at a moderate
+price.</p>
+
+<p>Such a course will prove a blessing to mankind, and we
+do not hesitate to say, that notwithstanding what fools or
+fanatics may say, preach or write, Americans, and particularly
+those of the Eastern States, who are probably the most
+practical people on the face of the globe, will before long
+adopt beer as their national beverage. In doing so they
+will but follow the example of the most civilized countries
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_15">[15]</span>of Europe; and it will soon be recognized that every brewery
+and every beer saloon helps to loosen the grasp which
+alcohol has on any country where distilled liquors are habitually
+used. Thomas Jefferson, writing Dec. 13, 1818, to
+M. de Neuville in reference to intemperance and the use of
+light wines as a substitute for spirits, says, “No nation is
+drunken where wine is cheap.” Beer is yet less alcoholic
+than wine of any sort and has advantages of its own which
+will be discussed in due place. Experience shows that
+sound, wholesome beer at a moderate cost is the best catholicon
+yet discovered for intemperance. It weans a people
+gradually but surely from strong drink and brings happiness,
+content and morality in the place of dissipation and suffering.
+But it must be good, cheap and accessible, and the
+responsibility of making it so rests with our lawgivers.
+The poorer classes are those who need it most and cause
+most injury and loss to the state when for lack of it they
+consume ardent spirits—and these cheap and adulterated.</p>
+
+<p>In spite of all difficulties considerable progress has been
+made, as is shown by a consumption last year of more than
+nine million (9,473,361) barrels of beer, which is the best
+evidence of a step in the right direction towards national
+temperance.</p>

+<span class="chapt_sub">EARLY HISTORY OF BEER.</span></h2>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>It is impossible to say where and when the brewing of
+beer began, for the earliest historical records show its general
+use.</p>
+
+<p>It is mentioned by Manathos, High Priest of Heliopolis,
+an Egyptian of Greek education, who lived about 300 B. C.
+and by command of Ptolemaus Philadelphus translated the
+old Egyptian history into Greek. He says that the Egyptians,
+thousands of years before, had beer, and that its invention
+was attributed to Osiris, a divinity representing all the
+beneficent principles, also that celebrated breweries existed
+at that time at El Kahirch, the Cairo of Europeans, and at
+Pelusinum on the river Nile.</p>
+
+<p>The Greeks had their <i lang="grc"> zythos</i> (beer) as also their wine of
+barley, <i lang="grc"> ek krithon methu</i>, and the <i lang="grc"> oinos krithinos</i> as mentioned
+by Sophocles, Æschylus, 470 B. C., Diodorus of
+Sicily and Pliny. Xenephon in his account of the Retreat
+of the Ten Thousand, written 400 B. C., mentions that the
+inhabitants of Armenia used fermented drinks made from
+barley.</p>

+
+<p class="center"> <i>As described by Manathos (third century B. C.), High Priest in Heliopolis</i></p></figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+<p>The Romans had their <i lang="la"> cerevisia</i> (beer) but with them it
+was a special luxury. Julius Cæsar was a noted admirer
+of it, and Plutarch, 50 A. D., and Suetonius, each of whom
+wrote of Cæsar, tell us that after he had crossed the Rubicon,
+49 B. C., he gave a great feast to his leaders at which
+the principal beverage used was <i lang="la"> cerevisia</i>, and the biographers
+of Lucullus tell us that at his magnificent entertainments
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_17">[17]</span>beer was served to his guests in golden goblets of the most
+costly device. And at that time also the Romans were
+already accustomed to sing <i lang="la"> Cerevisiam bibunt homines, cœtera
+animalia fontes</i>.</p>
+
+<p>In Germany beer was known about the same time, and
+Tacitus (54 A. D.,) says, that the Roman general Varius,
+who was sent by Augustus to conquer the country and subdue
+the inhabitants, but was defeated by Arminius the leader
+of the Teutons, attributed the desperate valor of the enemy
+and their complete success, in great measure to their free
+use of <i>bior</i> (beer).</p>
+
+<p>The Allemanni, a large German tribe who were first
+mentioned by Dion Cassius, 213 A.D., and who occupied
+the country between the river Main and the Danube, were
+formidable enemies both to the Romans and the Gauls.
+They attached great importance to their beer which was
+brewed under the supervision of the priests, and before use
+was blessed with many solemn rites. In an old code of
+theirs we find that every member of a church ( <i lang="de">Gotteshaus</i>)
+had to contribute for its maintenance fifteen <i lang="de">seidel</i> of beer
+or some equivalent. The Emperor Julian who defeated
+them in the year 357 A. D., near Strasburg, where all their
+forces were assembled under seven chiefs, found on the field
+of battle numerous utensils designed to be employed in
+brewing.</p>
+
+<p>The old Saxons in the seventh and eighth centuries when
+sitting in council to consider questions of high importance
+would only deliberate after drinking beer, which they took
+in common out of large <i lang="de">Humpen</i> (stone mugs).</p>
+
+<p>Charlemagne (742-814 A. D.,) himself gave directions
+how to brew the beer for his court, and was as careful in
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[18]</span>selecting his brew-masters as in choosing his councilors and
+leaders. A single circumstance, attendant on his defeat of
+the Saxons at Paderborn, 777 A. D., illustrates the high respect
+in which brewing was then held, and in this particular,
+is suggestive of its semi-sacred character among the
+Allemanni as mentioned above. On that occasion it is
+related that the Emperor, surrounded by his chief leaders
+and councilors and by the ambassadors of distant nations,
+received the homage of the heathen Saxon warriors, caused
+many thousands of them to be baptized and then celebrated
+the double triumph of his arms and the Christian faith at a
+great feast, at which there were seated with him Eginhard,
+Paul Warnefried and Alcuin, the Emperor’s friends and
+advisers, and all drank of beer brewed by Charlemagne
+himself, while they discussed the great events that had
+just occurred. The drinking vessels were large mugs of a
+peculiar form which are still to be seen among a collection
+of relics presented to the Emperor by eastern potentates
+and now kept in a tower at the west end of the Cathedral
+of Aix-la-Chapelle, and exposed to public view once in
+every seven years. Within a few years numerous relics
+have been found in the vicinity of Paderborn which indicate
+that beer brewing must have been as common and
+necessary in both parties as the cooking of food.</p>
+
+<p>The old Danes as far back as 860 A. D. under Gorm the
+Old, 936 A. D. under Harold Bluetooth, and 985 A. D. under
+Swend Twybeard, were acquainted with the art of brewing,
+and their old codes mention it as a most honorable
+occupation.</p>
+
+<p>In Bohemia, breweries were built at Budweis in the year
+1256 A. D. by direction of Ottokar II., King of Bohemia,
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[19]</span>and few cities in the world can point to an establishment of
+such antiquity. Budweis beer is now almost universally
+known and approved, though it is needless to say that it
+differs materially from that made six hundred years ago.</p>
+
+<p>In the thirteenth century we see by an old law of France,
+in the reign of Louis IX., of the year 1268, how highly beer
+was esteemed and that laws were already made to secure
+the purity of beer as well as to protect the brewers in their
+avocation, and for curiosity’s sake we give our readers an
+extract of those laws as mentioned above:</p>
+
+<p>1. No one shall brew beer or remove it in drays or
+otherwise, on Sundays or on the solemn feasts of the Holy
+Virgin.</p>
+
+<p>2. No one shall set up in the brewery who has not
+served a five years’ apprenticeship, and been three years a
+partner with a regular brewer.</p>
+
+<p>3. Nothing shall enter into the composition of beer, but
+good malt and hops, well gathered, picked, and cured,
+without any mixture of buckwheat, darnel, etc., and the
+hops shall be inspected by juries, to see that they are not
+used after being heated, moldy, damp, or otherwise damaged.</p>
+
+<p>4. No beer yeast shall be hawked about the streets, but
+shall be all sold in the brew-houses to bakers and pastrycooks,
+and to no others.</p>
+
+<p>5. Beer yeast brought by foreigners shall be inspected
+by a jury before it is exposed to sale.</p>
+
+<p>C. No brewer shall keep in, or about, his brew-house any
+cows, oxen, hogs, geese, ducks, or poultry, as being inconsistent
+with cleanliness.</p>
+
+<p>7. There shall not be made in any brew-house more than
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[20]</span>one brewing of fifteen septiers at the most, of ground malt
+in a day.</p>
+
+<p>8. Casks, barrels, and other vessels made to hold beer,
+shall be marked with the brewer’s mark, in the presence of
+a jury.</p>
+
+<p>9. No brewer shall take away from a house he serves
+with beer any vessels which do not belong to him.</p>
+
+<p>10. Those who sell beer by retail shall be subject to the
+inspection of juries.</p>
+
+<p>11. No one shall be a partner but with a master brewer.</p>
+
+<p>12. No master brewer shall have more than one apprentice
+at a time, which apprentice shall not be turned over
+without the consent of a jury.</p>
+
+<p>13. No one shall take a partner who has quitted his
+master without the consent of such master.</p>
+
+<p>14. A widow may employ servants in brewing, but may
+not take an apprentice.</p>
+
+<p>15. Master brewers shall not entice away one another’s
+apprentices nor servants.</p>
+
+<p>16. There shall be three masters elected for jurymen,
+two of which shall be changed every two years.</p>
+
+<p>17. Such jurymen shall have the power to inspect in the
+city and suburbs.</p>
+
+<p>In addition every brewer had to pay duty, so that the
+king might not be defrauded, was obliged to give notice of
+every brewing to a commissioner, stating the day and hour
+he intended to kindle the fire of his boiler, under a penalty
+of fine and confiscation. As brewing necessitates the employment
+of a large quantity of grain, it was customary, in
+times of scarcity, for the king to put a stop to the manufacture
+of beer for a certain number of weeks. These
+rules and regulations, made more than six hundred years
+since, are interesting and curious to the brewers of to-day.</p>

+<p>In the fourteenth century the monks were the ordinary
+brewers, and one brewery founded by them at Dobraw near
+Pilsen, Bohemia, and endowed by Charles IV. shortly before
+his death with a prescriptive right to brew beer, is still
+in existence and is probably the oldest in the world. Its
+five hundredth anniversary was lately celebrated with
+great pomp, by all classes of society in that ancient city.
+Bohemian beer is to be ranked with the very best known,
+and an idea of the annual product for home and foreign
+consumption may be formed from the fact that there are
+now no less than eight hundred and eighty-seven breweries
+in actual operation.</p>
+
+<p>In Austria, the first brewery built at Vienna was on the
+Weidenstrasse and dates back as far as 1384. The oldest
+standing brewery in the same place is the St. Marx Brew-house,
+founded in 1706.</p>
+
+<p>In the Provinces of Flanders and Brabant a beer brewed
+of malt and hops was the national beverage as early as the
+fourteenth century, and brewers occupied an important
+position and were held in high esteem. History tells us
+that one of them, <i>Jacob Van Artevelde</i> the Brewer of
+Ghent, a nobleman by birth, became a celebrated popular
+leader who drove Louis I., Count of Flanders, into France,
+held the government of the province and supported Edward
+III. of England until his death, July 17, 1345.</p>

+<p>His son Philip, who at one time was chosen ruler of the
+provinces and who died 1382, was as well known as a celebrated
+brewer as his father.</p>
+
+<p>To Flanders also belongs the celebrated Gambrinus, who
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">[22]</span>under his real name of Jan Primus, Duke of Flanders,
+ruled Flanders and Brabant wisely, and became the protector
+of the beer brewing fraternity. Under the popular
+cognomen, however, (to which many mythical attributes
+have been attached) he is universally known, and perhaps
+held in higher esteem by a greater number of adherents
+than all the saints, even including Saint Patrick, who have
+been canonized up to the present day.</p>
+
+<p>In England beer was introduced by the Romans. The
+Saxons found it there and improved wonderfully upon the
+discovery. For centuries it received, in the modern literature
+of England, the constant attention and consideration
+of churchmen, historians, poets and political economists.
+The churchmen especially were active in the improvement
+of malt liquors. William of Malmsbury says that the best
+brewers in England at the time of Henry II. were to be
+found in the monasteries, and every reader of early English
+literature remembers frequent allusions not only to beer in
+general but to that of the holy fathers in particular. The
+monks were the first to discover the peculiar fitness of the
+waters of Burton on Trent for brewing purposes, and
+may thus be said to have paved the way for the development
+of the enormous establishments that now scatter their product
+over all the world.</p>
+
+<p>According to “Tennant’s Guide to London,” published
+at the beginning of the present century, there were in the
+reigns of the Tudors great breweries at London, situated on
+the river-side below St. Katherine’s. In 1492 King Henry
+VII. licensed a Flemish brewer, John Merchant, to export
+a large quantity of the so-called “berre,” and that the
+beer had to be of good quality and was under the surveillance
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[23]</span>of the authorities, is proved by the fact that Geffrey
+Gate, an officer of the king, twice destroyed the brew-houses
+on account of the weakness of the beer.</p>
+
+<p>In the reign of Elizabeth the demand for ale increased
+very largely, and we find mention of an export of five hundred
+tuns of the precious liquor at one time. This was sent
+to Amsterdam for the use of the thirsty army in the Netherlands.
+Mary Queen of Scots in the midst of her troubles
+seems not to have been altogether insensible to the attractions
+of English beer, for when she was confined in Tutbury
+Castle, Walsingham, her secretary asked “At what place
+near Tutbury beer may be provided for her majestie’s use?”
+To which Sir Ralph Sadler, governor of the castle made
+reply, “Beer may be had at Burton, three miles off.” This
+Burton on Trent began to be famous for its water in the
+thirteenth century. There is a document still extant, dated
+1295, in which it is stated that Matilda, daughter of Nicholas
+Shoben had released to the abbot and convent of Burton on
+Trent certain tenements, for which release they granted her
+daily for life two white loaves from the monastery, two gallons
+of conventual beer and one penny, besides seven gallons
+of beer for the men.</p>
+
+<p>In the fifteenth century the monks in Germany brewed
+two kinds of beer in the convents, one kind for the <i lang="la"> Patres</i>,
+and an inferior beer for the convents.</p>
+
+<p>In the sixteenth century the breweries in Germany were
+already celebrated for their malt beer.</p>
+
+<p>Cities not having good cellars, on account of which good
+beer could not be produced, were provided with the beverage
+through their city fathers from other places, stored
+and sold in the cellars of the city hall, hence the origin of
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[24]</span>the name Rathskeller. The most celebrated beer at that
+time, was the Braunschweiger Mumme, and the beer of
+Eimbeck, Merseburg and Bamberg. Beer before it could be
+sold had to pass a strict examination by a committee consisting
+of brewers of the greatest reputation, appointed by
+the burgomaster under and by advice of the city fathers;
+and a “Brauherr,” (proprietor and brew-master of a brewery)
+was a man of importance. In the principality of
+Brandenburg—afterwards the kingdom of Prussia—it was
+thought as early as the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
+that beer was the most wholesome of all beverages, and the
+electors of Brandenburg, later the kings of Prussia, fostered
+breweries by the concession of numerous privileges which
+were increased from time to time. Grants of this character
+and of no small advantage were held by brewers in Cottbus,<a id="FNanchor_1" href="#Footnote_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a>
+Province of Brandenburg, and were considerably enlarged
+by Frederick the Great in favor of Huguenots who had at
+his invitation settled in the kingdom after being forced by
+the revocation of the edict of Nantes to leave France.
+These privileges, enjoyed by the Toussaints, Salems and
+others for many years, were abolished by the declaration of
+the freedom of trade in 1838.</p>

+<p>After the year 1721 coffee began to be extensively used,
+and at last Frederick the Great in order to check its introduction
+erected large coffee roasting establishments which
+had a monopoly of the business, and where the coffee was sold
+at an enormous price, only the nobility, having the right of
+roasting their coffee beans. “Coffee smellers” or spies
+were appointed to look out for evaders of the law, just as
+we have now beer and whisky smellers. On the 13th
+day of September, 1777, the great king issued his celebrated
+“coffee and beer manifesto.” It was particularly addressed
+to the provincial members ( <i lang="de">Landstande</i>) of the provinces of
+Pommerania and Brandenburg, which were called the nurseries
+of his armies, and read as follows: “It is disgusting to
+notice the increase in the quantity of coffee used by my
+subjects and the amount of money that goes out of the
+country in consequence. Everybody is using coffee. If
+possible this must be prevented. My people must drink
+beer. His majesty was brought up on beer and so were his
+ancestors and his officers and soldiers. Many battles have
+been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the
+king does not believe that coffee-drinking soldiers can be
+depended on to endure hardship or to beat his enemies in
+case of the occurrence of another war.” This proclamation
+had the desired effect, and coffee was thenceforth used
+merely as a luxury, while beer became the usual drink of
+the people.</p>
+
+<p>In the United States the pioneers in the brewing business
+were William Penn and Jacobus, a Dutch brewer of whom
+Irving tells us that he left the States General of Holland
+to settle on Manhattan Island in company with Hendricks,
+the Kips and others. It will be remembered that Manhattan
+Island was discovered by Hendrik Hudson in 1609
+when he passed inside Sandy Hook in search of a northwest
+passage, and that it was granted by charter of the
+States General to the West India Company to colonize the
+island. The company was not slow to discover the advantages
+of such a concession and immediately set at work to
+build forts, a church, a mill and a bakery while Jacobus, who
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_26">[26]</span>thoroughly understood the good effects of beer and the benefits
+that would follow its introduction in the colony, established
+a brewery (in 1644) and a beer garden on what is now
+the corner of Pearl street and Old Slip. He afterwards became
+the first burgomaster and is said to have dispensed beer
+and justice with equal gravity and impartiality, and to the
+complete satisfaction of the inhabitants of new Amsterdam.</p>
+
+<p>It may be interesting to some readers to know that while
+Jacobus settled near the lower end of the present city the
+Kips were established in the neighborhood of Bellevue
+Heights, and that on a part of that settlement—in East
+38th street—stands now the well known and justly esteemed
+lager beer brewery of A. Huepfel’s Sons.</p>
+
+<p>Somewhat later the same business was undertaken by
+Israel and Timothy Horsfield, who came from England, one
+in 1706 and the other in 1720, and settled in Brooklyn,
+L. I. Their brewery was near the ferry in what is now
+Wallabout.</p>
+
+<p>William Penn, 1644-1718, a man of Dutch extraction on
+his mother’s side, founder of Pennsylvania and the leading
+spirit of its settlement—so justly celebrated for his virtues—brewed
+and sold beer at Pennsbury, Bucks County, Pa.</p>
+
+<p>Good Quaker as Penn was, he was no ascetic. He was
+a great lover of beer, and accustomed to praise his own
+brewing—he was not averse to society, in his house was no
+lack of comfort, his table was well provided, and his taste
+for good living could never be impeached—dancing did not
+shock him, for both he and his family patronized country
+dances and country fairs, and William Penn’s beer was the
+beverage used on such occasions.</p>
+
+<p>Under his proprietary laws he allowed beer to be sold
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">[27]</span>free of license, and this sensible enactment was continued
+under the state laws until the year 1847, when a ten dollar
+license was substituted. Such a tax certainly compares
+favorably with that of many other states and displays a moderation
+and reasonableness that does credit to the Quaker
+community and is in strong contrast to the spirit recently
+exhibited in some parts of the country.</p>
+
+<p>Another celebrated promoter of early beer brewing in
+America was Gen. Israel Putnam, known to every child as
+the hero of the wolf’s den and the desperate ride down the
+rocks, and to an older generation as a brave soldier and
+marked character, the man who “dared to lead where any
+dared to follow,” and who has gained a higher position in
+history by virtue of his personal qualities and a touch of
+romance that clings to his name than might strictly attach
+to his military services.</p>
+
+<p>Although generally known as a Connecticut man he was
+born at Salem, Mass., 1718, and in 1739, at the age of
+twenty-one, removed to Pomfret, Conn., and later to Brooklyn
+in the same state, with which latter place his name is
+afterwards associated. Here as a farmer and tavern keeper
+he passed the remainder of his life except that considerable
+part which was given to the active military service of his
+country. The change from the life of a successful soldier
+to these commonplace pursuits would seem to many to be
+near akin to a fall, but Putnam’s practical good sense found
+no difficulty in it. When he returned from the army he
+resumed his farming, tavern business and beer brewing, and
+seems to have had no false shame at either of the humbler
+avocations. Like a wise and self-contained man he did the
+work nearest to his hand and found honor in it whatever it
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_28">[28]</span>might be. On the other hand, however, it is no small credit
+to the beer brewing fraternity to have had such a man in
+their ranks, even were it in a more limited and incidental
+way than was actually the case. The tavern sign of General
+Israel Putnam, which hung before his door in Brooklyn,
+(Conn.,) in the year 1768 and later, is now preserved in the
+rooms of the Historical Society at Hartford, (Conn.,) and
+an illustration representing it will be found on the opposite
+page.</p>
+
+<p>The sign is made of yellow pine, painted alike on both
+sides. The device is a full length portrait of General Wolfe,
+dressed in scarlet uniform. The portrait of the young hero
+is quite correct.</p>
+
+<p>The sign was presented to the Historical Society by Rufus
+S. Mathewson of Woodstock.</p>
+
+<p>Aside from the early public breweries there were doubtless
+many in which beer was made for family consumption.
+“Home brewed” was common in the native homes of most
+of the colonists, and there is no reason to suppose that they
+voluntarily changed their accustomed manner of living and
+dispensed with a wholesome drink to which they had been
+used from infancy.</p>
+
+<p>In leaving this branch of the subject it should be noted
+that the beer of the earliest periods, like the ale of England
+before the seventeenth century, was usually made without
+hops, and it is impossible to say when these were first
+employed, although the experiment was certainly of no very
+modern date. It was probably the greatest improvement
+ever made in the production of beer, since it gives a light,
+clear, and elegant product very different from anything that
+was produced on the other plan. The modern demand was
+for a drink that should be agreeable, refreshing and moderately
+stimulating, and it is now abundantly recognized that
+the fermented decoction of malted barley, clarified and preserved
+by the hops, best fulfills this requirement.</p>

+<p>Beer has been considered a necessity in all generations,
+and only in this, the nineteenth century, have extremists
+arisen to condemn its use. It is worthy of note that its
+greatest enemies are among a class who, in the olden times,
+were its greatest friends. The old abbeys and monasteries
+were the places where the best malt liquor was brewed;
+and not least among the benefactors of their species were
+the Franciscans and Dominicans, who brewed good beer to
+cheer the hearts of toiling humanity. Bishops have written
+in its praise; universities have encouraged its production;
+and kings having the comfort and contentment of their
+subjects in view have cared for its proper provision. Under
+date January 27, 1617, it is noted in “Langbaine’s Collections”
+that one John Shurle had a patent from Abraham
+Lake, Bishop of Bath and Wells and Vice Chancellor of
+Oxford, for the office of Ale-taster to the university. “The
+office of Ale-tasting requires that he go to every ale-brewer
+that day they brew, according to their courses, and
+taste their ale; for which his ancient fee is one gallon of
+strong ale and two gallons of strong wort.”</p>
+
+<p>Such a fact is enough to make the modern teetotal dominies
+stand aghast, but it may well be doubted if they are
+better or wiser men than their predecessors, one of whose
+distinguishing characteristics was usually a sound common
+sense in the ordinary affairs of life.</p>

+<span class="chapt_sub">EARLY HISTORY OF BEER—CONTINUED.</span></h2>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>With the close of the preceding chapter we had intended
+to leave this branch of the subject, but a paper of Hans
+von der Planitz, written in German on the same topic, is
+so interesting that we cannot do better than quote a considerable
+portion. It is written with genuine enthusiasm
+and is valuable not merely for its facts regarding the early
+history of beer, but also as a picture of customs and manners,
+often given in the words of writers contemporary with
+the circumstances described. The picturesque or realistic
+effect of the old German has been as far as possible preserved
+in the rendering of passages written in that style,
+and very often the original is added in a note or otherwise,
+for the enjoyment of readers who are able to appreciate its
+flavor. Quotation at such length has involved a trifling
+amount of repetition of matter already stated, but it has
+seemed better to submit to this than to mutilate an independent
+account, much of whose effect depends on its manner
+of developing the subject. Commencing with the ninth
+century the writer says:</p>
+
+<p>“Beer brewing in England and Flanders is mentioned by
+Walafried Strabo. (849 A. D.) It had been known from
+a remote antiquity and continued in use partly, at least,
+through Celtic influence. In France beer gradually gave
+place to wine, while in Germany it made good its position,
+and lager beer was discovered as early as the thirteenth
+century, that of the Mark being especially celebrated. In
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_31">[31]</span>
+Bohemia the earliest account of beer brewing dates as far
+back as 1086 A. D. Poland and Prussia were addicted to
+the barley juice before the time of modern civilization and
+honored a special god of beer, <i>Raugunzemapat</i>, whose name
+is derived from <i>rugti</i>, to ferment, and literally signifies the
+god of fermentation. In Bavaria, where, under Roman influence,
+wine growing had attained an important place which
+it was destined afterwards to lose, beer was commonly
+known within the first thousand years of the present era
+and is mentioned by Voehrung, 816, and others. According
+to Graesse it was a dull brown and reddish drink and soured
+easily. In the more primitive districts oats were used as
+the basis, and only “upper-ferment” beer was made. In
+the latter part of the middle ages the process by “under
+fermentation” was discovered, its origin, according to Professor
+Holzner of Weihenstephan, being in one of the monasteries.
+From this point beer brewing increased vigorously
+until Bohemian competition and Bohemian hops gave it a
+staggering check. In the southern countries of Europe
+beer does not easily give place to wine though hard pushed,
+while in Asia and Africa the inhabitants use their traditionary
+drink from one generation to another, and in Egypt
+especially, the Arabs acquired a taste for the beer of the
+Copts. Such was the condition of things when the dawn
+of a new age showed itself on the horizon.</p>
+
+<p>“The characteristic of a period is found essentially in its
+variation from the adjacent epochs, and that of the one
+under consideration has been already indicated. But beside
+the scientific researches, that had very little connection with
+trade, there grew up a descriptive literature that stands in
+close relation to the first general empire of beer. To suppose
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">[32]</span>that the present age is the first time of real triumph
+for the liquor of Gambrinus, shows a very superficial knowledge
+of the history of civilization, for apart from the Egyptian
+and Celtic-Germanic beer epochs, which were somewhat
+local, we have already long passed the real first period
+of success which fell in the time of the <i>Renaissance</i>. In
+those days the brown flood spread out not merely over Germany,
+England and Belgium, but into the far corners of
+recently discovered countries; in village taverns and <i lang="de">rathskellers</i>
+peasants and citizens drank themselves full and
+merry. At the high schools the students already went to
+the <i lang="de">kneipen</i> with their rapiers ( <i lang="de">spiessen</i>) and swords, studied
+and rioted behind the tin can, and in the banquet halls of
+princes and the cabinets of noble ladies, the barley juice
+was a favorite beverage, not swallowed hastily from tumblers,
+but taken with deliberation and full enjoyment from
+deep, wide-mouthed mugs or tankards. Seven maas a day
+was the allowance for a lady of high rank.<a id="FNanchor_2" href="#Footnote_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a> About the
+end of the seventeenth century the increasing use of brandy
+and coffee put a stop to this immoderate consumption, as at
+the same time the influence of France and the colonies with
+their new dishes and resulting change of tastes, brought
+about the progress from middle age cookery to that of modern
+times, and as the Gustavus Adolphus boots and wide-brimmed
+plumed hats gave place to silk stockings and
+perukes. The present age witnesses the second triumph of
+Gambrinus, a triumph perhaps even greater than the first,
+for though the capacity of individuals is far from equal to that
+of the men of the Renaissance, except in the case of
+some academic beer soakers and Munich <i lang="de">Danaidenfaesser</i>
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_33">[33]</span>(bottomless vessels), yet the distribution of beer is more
+extensive, more general and more uniform. The consumption
+in Europe alone has increased tenfold within fifty years
+and grows constantly. In the first quarter of this century
+the wave spread from Bavaria farther and farther over the
+whole map of Europe, and about twenty years ago a new
+source was opened in Austria, and the Vienna beer flowed
+through the canals which the Bavarian product had opened.</p>

+
+</div></div>
+
+<p>This first epoch stands in close relation with the general
+abounding strength of that period of civilization. Adventurous
+sailors and explorers had broken the bonds of the known
+earth, plain men had dared to enter the lists with that hierarchy,
+to attack which had been held profanation; art had
+thrown aside the old traditions and brought out the old
+master-works, the world of scholars had torn itself loose from
+petrified scholasticism and turned to the ancient classics,
+and, as in most branches of science, so also in chemistry,
+there was a genuine revolution, and it was studied in reference
+to medicine almost as assiduously as it had previously
+been in the search for the philosopher’s stone. New inquiries
+were set on foot, old problems revived and attacked from a
+new point of view, and among these the subjects of yeast
+and fermentation played an important part. Not many decades
+have passed since the practical brewer found neither
+interest nor profit in theories of fermentation, and especially
+all chemical and physical discussion of his work and processes.
+The purely scientific style which too often had very little
+reference to the practical man, and the various contradictory
+views and learned controversies were not calculated to
+attract the interest of the beer brewer. Scholars discussed
+and disputed, the man of trade brewed and coopered, and
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_34">[34]</span>neither paid any attention to the other. Now the case is
+very different. Intelligent and thoughtful brewers have
+been forced to admit that an insight into the nature of the
+materials they use, and the changes these undergo while in
+their hands will not merely enlarge their intellectual horizon,
+but be of great practical use in their business, and in
+consequence are found keenly alive to the progress of scientific
+inquiry.</p>
+
+<p>Some reference has already been made to the empirical
+knowledge of the earlier ages. Even Pliny’s often quoted
+“<i lang="la"> Palam est naturam (farinæ) acore fermentari</i>” is merely
+a summary of the result of observation. Noah’s wine
+making, the leaven<a id="FNanchor_3" href="#Footnote_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a> of the Jews and such like may be left
+to special history. The word <i lang="la"> fermentum</i> as used by the
+alchemists has no very definite meaning; in general their
+explanation is to the effect that by means of the ferment a
+purifying and refining process is set in action—and hence
+many efforts were made to discover a general ferment by
+whose instrumentality it would become possible among
+other things, to transform the baser metals into gold. For
+this reason they often use the word <i lang="la"> fermentum</i> to indicate
+the anxiously sought “philosopher’s stone.”<a id="FNanchor_4" href="#Footnote_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a> The indefinite
+character of the word is mentioned by Petrus Bonus of
+Ferrara (1345): “<i lang="la"> Apud philosophos fermentum dupliciter
+videtur dici: uno modo ipse lapis philosophorum <ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note&mdash;original text: e" id="e">ex</ins> suis elementis
+compositus et completus, in comparatione ad metalla;
+alio modo illud quod est perficiens lapidem et ipsum complens</i>,”
+and Raymond Lull’s definition, “<i lang="la"> Fili, fermentum est
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">[35]</span>corpus perfectum, subtiliatum et alteratum per potestatem
+convertentium</i>,” has the predicate so indefinite as to give no
+real information. We add another quotation from the
+same author merely to show further the jargon these men
+of learning were accustomed to use. He writes “<i lang="la"> Fili,
+præparatio istius est, quod illud sit transactum primo per naturæ
+principalia controvertentia, antequam de isto facias fermentationem,
+quia illud fiat principio pulvis calcinatus per
+coagulationem et quarto sublimatus per separationem.</i>”
+George Ripley’s consideration of the subject calls for no
+special notice, but the views of Basilius Valentinus who
+wrote in the latter half of the fifteenth century will be
+found more interesting. He held fermentation to be a purification
+by means of which the spirit of wine that already
+existed in a fluid was put in condition to act, unfermented
+beer being dead, “because existing impurities prevent the
+spirit from doing its work. Yeast induces in beer an internal
+quickening that advances of itself and results in a
+division and segregation of the clear and muddy elements,
+and after this separation <i lang="la"> puri ab impuro</i> the spirit can accomplish
+its duty successfully, as appears from the subsequent
+power of the liquor to produce intoxication.” Valentine
+is the last in the series of scholars who though belonging
+chronologically to a previous epoch must from the
+nature and relations of their inquiries be reckoned as belonging
+to the new era. It is not in the history of progress
+as in that of politics where two adjacent periods can be
+sharply defined and their limits assigned to exact dates.
+Progress goes on gradually, modifying or adding to what
+has already existed, and we do not clearly notice the transformation
+until it is complete or at least far advanced. So
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">[36]</span>it was in this case. Far back in the middle ages men
+turned their attention to the “ferment” and to fermentation.
+Much was written, much nonsense and humbug published;
+almost no results were attained, but the beginning
+was made. Men of the later time grasped the collected
+material, regulated and systematized the inquiry and vied
+with each other in its prosecution. Struggle and activity
+were then so universal that there was a disposition to consider
+fermentation a special branch of chemistry, and
+after treating of the fermentation of wine, beer, vinegar,
+etc., it was suggested that the whole vital process might be
+nothing more than a continual fermentation.</p>

+<p>Notwithstanding all that has been said it seems best to
+date the new epoch definitely from the beginning of the
+sixteenth century, and this although we can reckon no
+names or events of importance in the year 1501, and must
+pass over a number of decades to reach Libarius the first

+are various, partly to remove as far as possible all uncertainty
+from the discussion, partly because at that memorable
+time the general break with blind tradition and the
+development of new intellectual and social conditions took
+place in such a manner as to have a direct influence on the
+history of beer and so connect the general revolution with
+the province of zymotechnic inquiry. If we date from <ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note&mdash;original text: Labarius" id="Labarius">Libarius</ins>
+we commit an anachronism, for he stands in the full
+light of the new era. In short, beer and its history are
+so intimately related to social life and its development that
+we cannot consider the former alone and without regard to
+the latter. The oldest book in this sort of literature at present
+known, was published in 1530, under the title, “An Excellent
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">[37]</span>Little Book of the Making of Wine and Beer so that they may
+be Useful and Wholesome to Man. Printed at Erfurt by
+Melchior Sachssen at Noah’s Ark.”<a id="FNanchor_5" href="#Footnote_5" class="fnanchor">[5]</a> In 1551, a scholar
+(Plocotamus) wrote “<i lang="la"> De natura cerevisiarum et de mulso</i>,”
+and somewhat later (1585) Thaddeus Hagecius ab Hayek
+wrote in Latin a work with the title “<i lang="la"> De cerevisia ejusque conficiendi
+ratione, natura, viribus et facultatibus</i>.” More important
+than any of these is a book written in German by Heinrich
+Knaust, its value consisting not so much in historical deductions
+as in a review, grounded on the personal knowledge
+of the author, of the facts regarding beer in his time. It is
+chiefly through this volume that we are able to form a clear
+conception of the high development and actual power of beer
+at the end of the sixteenth century. On the first page of the
+book the master wrote in a style thoroughly characteristic
+of the period with its swelling, stilted bombast and magniloquence,
+the famous title, “Five Books of the Divine and
+Noble Gift of the Philosophical, Precious and Admirable
+Art of Beer Brewing. Also of the names of the most Admirable
+Beers in all Germany, and of their Natures, Temperaments,
+Qualities, Individual Characters, Wholesomeness,
+and Unwholesomeness, whether wheat or barley, white
+or red beer, spiced or not spiced. Newly revised and much
+Fuller and More Perfect than the former edition. By Master
+Heinrich Knaust, Doctor of Law and of Medicine.
+Published at Erfurt by George Baumann, 1575, in the
+twelfth month.”<a id="FNanchor_6" href="#Footnote_6" class="fnanchor">[6]</a> As a matter of curiosity we reproduce
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">[38]</span>his view of the origin of beer. According to this the men
+before the deluge ate herbs and vegetables and drank water,
+and he thinks it strange that they should ever have plucked
+up heart to become saucy on such a diet. “After the deluge
+they received the gift of wine, and where no vines
+grew God taught them to make a drink of wheat and barley
+that was both healthful and agreeable and as well fitted
+to strengthen and support the human system as wine itself.”</p>

+
+<p>When a well known physician of Berlin, Dr. F. G. Zimmerman,
+felt himself compelled to declare beer a poison, it was
+Abraham A. Santa Clara of Vienna who, in his “History
+of the Discovery of Beer,” entitled “Something for All,”
+1710, spoke as follows: “Noah planted the first vineyard
+and the culture of the vine afterwards spread all over the
+world, but as some climates are too harsh for the grape and
+prevent its ripening, human ingenuity was forced to discover
+another drink which should not merely quench thirst, but
+like wine excite the brain.<a id="FNanchor_7" href="#Footnote_7" class="fnanchor">[7]</a> Among the Germans it is
+called beer, and its brewing requires a special experience,
+so that the men of this craft are not counted least among
+workmen.” So said also Ehinger, Fritsch, Germershausen,
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_39">[39]</span>Gleditsch, Heuman, Hofman, Sensky, Solms and Trafenreuter.
+In all this scientific and learned emulation in the
+matter of fermentation (zymologie) we learn plainly enough
+that even the representatives of science did not confine their
+attention to a purely theoretical consideration of the barley
+juice, but hid the contents of many a can and mug behind
+their wide stiff collars, the clergy taking their full share in
+this part of the discussion. Luther’s fondness for beer is
+well known, and on the evening of that eventful day at
+Worms, April 18, 1521, the Duke Erich von Braunschweig,
+sent him a pot of Eimbecker beer, to which he was
+specially addicted. The students, whether of medicine or
+theology, used every effort to follow faithfully the illustrious
+example, whence perhaps it comes that the youth of the
+high schools and universities, wedded to tradition, still delight
+to hang about the inviting, wide-yawning door of the
+cool beer cellar. In the Renaissance, however, the last
+trace of the <i lang="de">Biercomment</i> and <i lang="de">Bierspielen</i> was finally lost.</p>

+<p>Beer was retailed in beer-houses and vaults, and in warm
+weather before the door, and places which had the hereditary
+right of brewing also sold beer occasionally in the living
+room of the house, and announced the fact by a mat-weed
+stuck horizontally above the door. In this custom
+we see plainly enough the origin of the later shop signs.
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">[40]</span> In <span lang="de">Oberpfalz</span> (the Upper Palatinate), in the <span lang="de">Schwarzwald</span>
+(Black Forest), and elsewhere, even now when a privileged
+brewer wishes to give notice that he will sell on draught,
+he hangs up a broom or a triangle of fir boughs. The publicans
+of a later time simply exchange this primitive advertisement
+for the more durable ones of tin and iron. Before
+the windows of the pot houses were folding tables at which
+the wagoners usually preferred to drink, and the wandering
+bands, of whom there was then an immense number, were
+accustomed to seat themselves at these same tables and pass
+the time in riotous talk and games of dice until the “beer
+bell” of the place broke up the assembly and drove them
+to their homes and to the inn.<a id="FNanchor_9" href="#Footnote_9" class="fnanchor">[9]</a> When a fair was held the
+women dealers in refreshments (<span lang="de">Kretschenweiber</span>) took
+possession of the benches and sold their beer there in cups
+of tin, stone or wood, while bread, meat, sausages, cheese,
+etc., were brought from the neighboring stands of the
+butchers and bakers, for even then people liked to do their
+business where wine and beer were close at hand. On any
+occasion of public festivity beer booths were a prime necessity,
+bagpipes and fiddles were not wanting and a lusty,
+merry throng danced in the open space between the crowded
+benches and tables. The Netherlandish painters have left
+us hundreds of cabinet pictures of these festivities and of
+the manner and fashion in which they were carried on, and
+their delightful and characteristic variations of the theme
+enable us to form a vivid conception of what it must have
+been. Especially worthy of notice in this respect are
+Teniers, (whose “Yearly Market”<a id="FNanchor_10" href="#Footnote_10" class="fnanchor">[10]</a> in the Munich <span lang="de">Pinakothek</span>
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">[41]</span>contains 1138 human figures, 45 horses, 67 asses, 37
+dogs, etc., curiously crowded in a jovial throng,) P.
+Brueghel, the Ostades, Brower, Jan Steen, who from a
+fancy for this sort of life himself became a tavern keeper,
+and Rubens, whose sketches in this sort are strikingly good.
+During the “Thirty Years War,” that is, at the very culminating
+point of the epoch, tobacco came into use and the
+now inseparable pair, “beer and tobacco,” played an important
+rôle together even then. Barley and “mixed corn” (rye
+and wheat, barley and oats, oats and rye,) were chiefly
+used for brewing purposes, but there were always those
+who preferred plant beer. It is interesting to know that
+pitch was supposed to give the product of fermentation a
+better keeping quality.</p>

+<p>We must not omit to mention that this beer worship was
+not so well developed in South Germany where it is now
+best marked, as in North Germany. Saxony, the Mark and
+Pomerania were mentioned as “the great drinking countries.”
+There was a swarm of names celebrated in beer,
+and Knaust’s book shows that it was held no small credit to
+have drunk various noted kinds of beer where they were
+made. There was a Lubeck Israel, an old Klaus (Brandenburg),
+a <span lang="de">Goslauer Gose</span>, a <span lang="de">Hanover Braehan</span>, a <span lang="de">Soltzman</span> at
+<span lang="de">Saltzwedel</span>, a Rastrun at <span lang="de">Leipsic</span>, beer of Corvey, beer of
+Harlem, <span lang="de">Dantzic</span> brew, <span lang="de">Eimbecker</span> brew, and many others.<a id="FNanchor_11" href="#Footnote_11" class="fnanchor">[11]</a>
+Of English beer, Hersford (Kamma) and the Yorkshire ale
+were chiefly esteemed. Most celebrated of all, however,
+was the Braunschweig <i>Mumme</i>, named for its discoverer,
+Christian Mumme (1492). By the side of these brewing
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_42">[42]</span>celebrities the old beer cities of the middle ages had retained
+their character into the time of the Renaissance, as for instance,
+Hamburg, with its wheat beer,<a id="FNanchor_12" href="#Footnote_12" class="fnanchor">[12]</a> and others; and many
+places made every effort to reach a similar position, partly
+by the adoption of new methods, and partly by the enlargement
+and increase of beer breweries. In Nuremberg, for
+instance, the first white beer was brewed in 1541; in Vienna
+the brewery with a hundred towers was built in 1564;
+breweries were erected at Gumpendorf in 1689, and at St.
+Marx in 1706; and in 1633 there were established at Freiburg
+six malt-houses and twelve breweries.</p>

+<p>The important beer privileges that had been so eagerly
+grasped by the monasteries and cities in the middle ages,
+were by hereditary right brought over into the new era.
+The landed estates of the nobles received back in 1517 the
+privileges which had been so long kept from them, and by
+this means all obstacles were removed from the beer traffic
+which had reached so hopeful a development during the
+middle ages, and it became possible for it to develop to an
+extent of which our own time need not be ashamed. Now
+it is no great matter to transport beer from Vienna to Paris
+by rail and in iced compartments, but we can not but admire
+the successful enterprise that in those days and with
+such means of transportation as existed, could export Eimbecker
+beer to Lombardy as described by the Italian
+Arnoldus of Villanova in 1594, and even to Alexandria and
+Cairo. Nuremberg was one of the great centers of the beer
+trade. Rostock and Lubeck supplied all England and sent
+not less than 800,000 barrels yearly to that country until
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">[43]</span>the business was checked by a marked increase in the
+quantity brewed by the English themselves. A number of
+the large English breweries were founded about this time.</p>
+
+<p>In the households of the reigning princes, there was a
+strong tendency to supplement the native brew by imported
+products, and at such festivities as marriages, christenings,
+target-shooting and hunting, immense quantities of drink
+were swallowed. The cellar ordinance of Duke Ernst the
+Pious, in 1648, allowed for ladies of noble rank four <i>maas</i>
+of beer a day, and three <i>maas</i> for a “nightcap.” How
+much ought in such circumstances to be the allowance for
+a man of similar rank, and of his hangers on is left to the
+imagination of the reader.</p>
+
+<p>Noble families that had no brew-houses were obliged to
+supply themselves from the brewery of the prince. A beer
+tax also was levied on vassals who brewed their own beer.
+An excellent illustration of the condition of things is afforded
+by the celebrated Hofbrauhaus at Munich, in whose whitewashed
+rooms every stranger still takes at least one <i>maas</i>.
+As early as the time of Louis the Severe, there existed a
+little court brewery at Munich near the <i lang="de">Burggasse</i>, but
+towards the end of the sixteenth century, the demand increasing
+and the facilities for production having long been
+inadequate, William V. proceeded to the building of the
+present brew-house, which was at first intended only for the
+making of white beer, the brown being still made in the old
+quarters. In 1708, however, brown beer also began to be
+made in the new establishment. This topic is treated in a
+stereotyped article which appears every year in the May
+number of the Munich Beer Gazette, under the title “Bock
+article,” and gives the worshipful bock-drinking community
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">[44]</span>a solemn and moving account of the court brewery and its
+products down to the minutest particulars. As regards
+bock itself, which is no longer an exclusive specialty of
+Munich, as a drink under the same name is sold every year
+in various cities, Graesse places its origin in the seventeenth
+century, and suggests that it was an imitation of the
+Eimbecker beer,—the last rather in virtue of a general theory
+and of a supposed play on words, Eimbeck, Aimbock Bock—than
+as an actual fact.<a id="FNanchor_13" href="#Footnote_13" class="fnanchor">[13]</a> He says that “the Munich Aimbock
+or Bock was made before 1616, the same that is now
+sold at the beginning of May on Corpus Christi day.” Now,
+however, it has been shown that all through the second
+half of the sixteenth century (1553-1574) Aimpecker and
+Eimbecker beer was spoken of, and that there was an import
+of beer to Vienna from Eimbeck as late as 1771, while
+no trace of any play of words on the name is discovered.
+Moreover, that the “bock cellar”<a id="FNanchor_14" href="#Footnote_14" class="fnanchor">[14]</a> (on the place of the
+present Restaurant Bonner) was in full operation at the
+beginning of the present century, is shown by Chr. Mueller
+who wrote under Max Joseph, and described the manners of
+the place very nearly as they were to be observed recently,
+just before the disappearance of this historical locality, and
+it is doubtless the fact that the larger half of the reputation
+of Munich beer is due to this specialty. Graesse, speaking
+of the high reputation of Bavarian beer, in which he includes
+as a matter of course that of Munich, is of the opinion that
+the general preference for it does not reach back farther
+than the early part of this century, and produces some important
+evidence to support this view of the case. On the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_45">[45]</span>other hand it is to be claimed in opposition that in such a
+discussion a careful distinction is to be made between
+Bavarian beer and Munich beer, since the renown of the
+first is relatively new and hardly goes to the first twenty
+years of the century, and its export did not begin in Munich,
+and also because that city has not yet been able to attain to
+the first rank as an exporter of beer. The reputation of
+Munich beer is older, for Mueller (1816) speaks of it as
+celebrated, and complains that the excellence of the native
+product is far surpassed by that of the Toelzer and Dachauer
+beers, and that the latter prevail in the Munich beer shops.
+This statement corresponds with the unfortunate situation
+of the beer interest that was inherited from the previous
+century, and that forces us to go back to the seventeenth
+century for a time of unquestioned supremacy for beer. In
+connection with this subject should be mentioned the successful
+founding of the Munich Court Brewery by William
+V. at the end of the sixteenth century, and these same old
+rooms should be regarded as the center and starting point
+where the fame of Munich beer was born and nourished,
+and where even through all the epoch of perukes and cues,
+after the fall of the monasteries that had contributed so
+much to the reputation of Munich beer, it was preserved
+from decay.</p>

+
+<p>In the seventeenth century, in the time of Louis XIV.,
+all Germany fell under the sway of French influence.
+There were French conversation, prayers and oaths, French
+amusements and French sins, French eating and drinking.
+An effort to imitate all the French fashions that the cavaliers
+brought from Paris was a characteristic of the sad
+season that followed, a time sad for patriots, sad for
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_46">[46]</span>beer brewers and for beer. Beer was <i lang="fr"> une boisson de commun</i>.
+The beautifully ornamented mugs and beakers were put
+away in the lumber-room ( <i lang="de">rumpel kammer</i>) and champagne
+glasses from Paris took their place. At evening,
+where formerly the jovial barons and their chief followers
+had encamped round the carved-oak table and laid a strong
+grasp on the mug—there was now a service of cakes and
+tea, and where formerly milk and pepper or beer was used
+as a morning draught, the coffee breakfast constantly acquired
+more use and repute. The common people, however,
+stood fast for the old way, and were never better
+pleased than when the privileged beer came to honor. At
+this time, too, the change of rôles took place, and South
+Germany entered on its new and important course at the
+beginning of the present century. (The brewery at St.
+Marx was built in 1710, and in 1732 there were three brew-houses
+at Schwechat.)</p>
+
+<p>It is as if the minds of men slumbered long, only to come
+at once into a never suspected activity. In the midst of
+the tumult we find Balling, Dreher, Sedlmayer, Kaiser,
+Otto and many others. Everything in brewing is changed.
+Laboratories spring out of the ground and discoveries and
+inventions come in countless numbers, brewing journals are
+started, schools opened, fairs and associations multiply, and
+all in the space of a single half century.</p>

+<span class="chapt_sub">MODERN HISTORY OF BEER.</span></h2>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>From the account already given, it will be seen that beer
+not only took an early hold on the affections of the people,
+but kept its position wherever it was introduced. It is
+now well established in every civilized country and plays so
+important a part in the economy of nations that a review
+of the light in which it is regarded by different governments
+cannot fail to be both interesting and useful.</p>
+
+<p>In Germany the state uses every possible means to provide
+good, wholesome beer for the people. It is the habitual
+beverage of most of the population, used by them at
+their meals and their places of amusement, cheering but
+not intoxicating, and rendering them temperate, industrious,
+healthy and contented, a people whose bravery is beyond
+question, and whose peaceable yet progressive qualities
+tend to make the nation powerful, and its government
+respected at home and abroad. And yet an advance
+by the government of half a cent a quart on the price of
+beer has in years not long passed caused a serious riot.
+Cheap, wholesome beer is considered a necessity of life, and
+the attempt to increase its cost an interference with the
+primary rights of the community.</p>
+
+<p>In Austro-Hungary, too, for many years government supervision
+has secured the production of pure beer, which is
+sold at a very moderate price. Some of the breweries are
+very large and the product is by many held to be unsurpassed
+in quality. That of Vienna and Pilsen, in particular,
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_48">[48]</span>is universally known and esteemed. Beer is thoroughly
+the national drink, and the beer gardens of Vienna are the
+resort of all classes, from the Emperor down to his private
+soldiers.</p>
+
+<p>The most important men of the empire have extensive
+breweries, and among the great Austro-Hungarian brewers
+we find such names as Anton Dreher of Schwechat near
+Vienna, Count Arco Valley of Zell, Upper Austria, Count
+Arco Zinneburg of Kaltenhausen, Count Thurn Valsassina
+of Sorgendorf, and in Bohemia Count Thun Hohenstein of
+Alt Benatek, His Majesty the Emperor Franz Josef, Prince
+Carl Hohenzollern, Prince Trautmansdorf, Prince Josef
+Mansfeld, Prince J. A. Schwartzenberg, Prince Max Thurn
+Taxis, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Rudolf Count von
+Schoteck and many others.</p>
+
+<p>A correspondent says: “At Trieste the drinking of beer
+is universal; from infancy to age light wine and beer are
+the common beverages.” He states that on Saturday night
+a pretty large number of laboring people are “jolly drunk,”
+but not savage drunk. The latter condition is unknown
+except among English and American sailors visiting the
+port. Among the better classes no instance is known of a
+merchant, lawyer, physician, shop-keeper, or master-mechanic
+becoming an inebriate and gradually losing position,
+prosperity and business, and sinking into a drunkard’s grave.
+Sometimes an Englishman or American has ruined himself
+by the use of spirits—not of wine or beer.</p>
+
+<p>Holland has brewed good beer for centuries, and though
+this country has been better known as a producer of gin,
+the national beverage is certainly beer. Professors Tilamus
+and Swingar of Amsterdam, and the Secretary of the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">[49]</span>“Netherlands Society for the Abolition of Spirituous
+Drinks,” say that gin drinking is no longer respectable, and
+they recommend beer as a daily beverage. The beer gardens
+of Amsterdam and Rotterdam are very widely known.
+Good bands are provided and people of all ranks congregate
+to sip beer, smoke, talk, or listen to the music. On his first
+visit to these places the writer made careful inquiries as to
+the consumption of gin and other spirits, and was agreeably
+surprised to learn that their use was practically confined to
+the lowest classes and that beer was the common beverage.
+To find a drunken man it was necessary to go to the docks
+and wharves, among the Irish and American sailors.
+Nine-tenths of the gin manufactured is exported to the
+United States, and most of its use at home is for medical
+purposes.</p>
+
+<p>The little kingdom of Belgium ranks next Bavaria as a
+beer consuming country. There are three kinds of beer—Mars,
+a light beer and generally used by the laboring class,
+Lambic, strong and light, and the Faro, a mixture of Mars
+and Lambic. Brussels and Antwerp have some of the finest
+beer gardens in the world, which furnish music to their
+patrons equal to the best, and the general habits of the people
+are temperate. Drunkenness is hardly found even
+among the lower classes.</p>
+
+<p>Spain even is becoming a beer-drinking country. The
+beer formerly consumed there was imported from England,
+Germany and Austria, and in 1869 all the breweries in the
+country did not produce 500,000 liters, equal to 132,062
+gallons, while the returns of the year 1878 show a production
+of over 4,750,000 liters, or 1,254,594 gallons—an astonishing
+increase in a wine producing country—and the beer
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">[50]</span>brewed at the Santa Barbara brewery at Madrid is taking
+the lead of the imported article.</p>
+
+<p>Sweden and Norway also recognize the necessity of providing
+a wholesome stimulant for the people, and for more
+than a hundred and fifty years their respective governments
+have given attention to the matter. Not long ago patents
+for the manufacture of ardent spirits, which had long been
+held among the nobility, were revoked, and an attempt made
+to secure temperance through the more common use of
+malt liquors. Mr. George Hayward, then proprietor of the
+celebrated Lion Brewery at London, England,<a id="FNanchor_15" href="#Footnote_15" class="fnanchor">[15]</a> was engaged
+by the government to superintend the introduction
+of improved beer in Sweden, and the experiment proved a
+thorough success. As beer increased drunkenness diminished,
+and both <ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note&mdash;original text: govenment" id="govenment">government</ins> and people have recognized the
+benefits of malt liquors. According to figures lately furnished
+by Dr. Ellis Sodenbladh of the Swedish statistical
+bureau, beer brewing has attained the position of a leading
+industry in that country. The annual product exceeds
+twenty-six million gallons, and this result is largely due to
+an increased tax on spirits and the remission of all taxation
+on beer, which may now be fairly considered the national
+beverage.</p>

+<p>Denmark formerly consumed great quantities of ardent
+spirits, the amount used in proportion to the population
+being even greater than in the prohibitory state of Maine.
+The introduction of the excellent beer made by Jacobsen at
+Carlsberg brought about an entire change. Beer is now
+the drink of the country and public feeling is strongly opposed
+to the use of whisky. The people have become
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_51">[51]</span>remarkable for quiet and good order, and the police magistrates
+of the larger cities, as Copenhagen and Elsinore report that
+for a long time no cases of murder, homicide or theft brought
+before them have been traced to the influence of strong
+drink. Arrests for street disorder are very rare and chiefly
+confined among the foreign seamen. The consumption of
+beer is about twenty gallons annually to the individual, and
+this amount seems to produce only favorable effects, as the
+people are a strong, hardy race with an average longevity
+far above that of the United States. The advantages of all
+kinds that have followed the general introduction of beer
+are very remarkable.</p>
+
+<p>In Russia, a commission was some time ago appointed to
+investigate the question of drunkenness in the empire. The
+use of strong ardent spirits had been almost universal.
+Drunkards were not to be reckoned by individuals or even
+families. Whole districts were plunged in habits of brutal
+intoxication and this national pest demoralized the armies,
+filled poor-houses and hospitals, the lunatic asylums and the
+prisons.</p>
+
+<p>As a result of the labors of this commission, and in accordance
+with the unanimous report of its members, the Czar
+has recently conferred very valuable privileges on those who
+establish breweries in his dominions. The object being to
+secure for the people good beer at a low price, all taxes on
+beer and articles used in its manufacture have been abolished,
+while the use of ardent spirits is still further checked
+by the imposition of heavy duties on all introduced to the
+country, and severe taxes on its manufacture or sale; and<a id="FNanchor_16" href="#Footnote_16" class="fnanchor">[16]</a>
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">[52]</span>whenever the crop of barley turns out to be light, the government

+
+<div class="footnotes"><div class="footnote">
+
+<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_16" href="#FNanchor_16" class="label">[16]</a> Owing to a light crop the Russian government has prohibited the export of
+barley for the current year, 1879.</p>
+
+</div></div>
+
+<p>In Greece, breweries are springing up about Athens and the
+Piræus, and all over the Levant and the neighboring islands,
+and the <i lang="grc"> ek krithon methu</i> (barley wine) of olden times is
+going to be the ordinary beverage of the people instead of
+the rather strong wines that the country produces.</p>
+
+<p>In France during the reign of Napoleon III., it was discovered
+that the ardent spirits most in use were so adulterated
+as to produce serious injury to consumers apart from
+that which always attends the free use of these liquors.
+Spirits were used to a much greater extent than could be
+justified on any sound principle. The Emperor, whose practical
+judgment was excellent in matters not immediately affecting
+his own ambition, offered inducements to English
+and German brewers to establish themselves in the country
+and the consumption of beer was increased with very advantageous
+results. The change has already gone so far as
+to alarm the wine merchants, and according to the “British
+Mercantile Gazette” the consumption in Paris alone now
+reaches one hundred million <i>liter</i> bottles <i lang="la"> per annum</i> or
+nearly half a pint a day to every Parisian, which is not bad
+for a beginning. The beer used, however, is still chiefly of
+foreign manufacture, the lager beer coming chiefly from
+Vienna and Bavaria, and the ale from Alsopp and Bass.
+Some American brewers of New York, Philadelphia and St.
+Louis received gold medals at Paris for the excellence of
+their beer, and are now shipping considerable quantities to
+that place.</p>
+
+<p>Americans who have lately been in France must usually
+have been surprised to notice how <i>bogk</i> (lager beer) is already
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_53">[53]</span>the common beverage in the fashionable <i lang="fr"> cafés</i> of the
+chief cities.</p>
+
+<p>Some leading French savants trace a direct connection
+between the free use of beer and the national greatness and
+indomitable personal courage of their opponents in the late
+war, and hope by the development of the brewing interest
+to add to the traditional virtues of Frenchmen some of
+those displayed in the neighboring empire. The notion may
+be rather fine spun, but the actual benefit of the development
+of a home industry in beer will be none the less, and
+it cannot be doubted that their end will be at least partially
+attained, though perhaps not in so direct a fashion as they
+suppose. <span lang="fr">Monsieur Lunier</span> has just brought before the
+French Academy of Medicine, some very interesting statistics
+on the use of fermented and other liquors. According
+to him, wine is still the national drink. The consumption of
+cider is diminishing, although still large, and brandy is much
+used to facilitate the digestion of cider. The more cider, the
+more brandy. The quantity of beer used, has considerably
+increased in most of the Departments, and he proves conclusively
+that most cases of accidental death in consequence
+of excess, occur in the departments where there is most
+drinking of spirits, that apprehensions for drunkenness are
+five times as numerous in these Departments as in those
+where wine is chiefly used, that drunkenness in the beer-drinking
+regions is hardly known, and that alcoholic insanity
+is almost everywhere in proportion to the consumption
+of ardent spirits. The only exceptions are <span lang="fr">La Vendée</span> and
+<span lang="fr">Charente Inferieure </span>where they drink only white wines,
+but use them in immoderate quantities.</p>
+
+<p>French brewers are now engaged in forming an association
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">[54]</span>and the first meeting has been announced to take
+place at Toulouse, in the late autumn of the present year
+(1879). The <i lang="fr"> Industriel de Lyon</i> speaks of the matter as
+follows:</p>
+
+<p>“In consequence of their number, and as representing
+forty-two departments, the brewers who should support this
+association are most influential. They would, by means of
+combination, be able to properly protect their important industry,
+and struggle against errors of the past, such as excise
+regulations, octroi, etc. Besides the meetings of the
+Syndicate, whether held at Toulouse or Lyons, might take
+up general economical questions of interest to its members,
+and also deal with the fabrication of beer, malting, and the
+scientific phenomena, which are more numerous and complex
+than is imagined. Brewing, it is further asserted, is
+an industry of the future. Beer is a drink of progress on
+account of its refreshing and especially nutritive qualities.
+To produce beer cheap, appetizing to the eye, and agreeable
+to the stomach, is the program which the brewers of the
+South have in view, and which they must strive energetically
+to carry out if they wish to compete at all successfully with
+the German beers. The phylloxera is not an eternal enemy.
+Sooner or later science will neutralize its effects.</p>
+
+<p>“In the South of France, therefore, the opinion is held
+that the greatest care should be given to the production of
+beer. Besides, people in the South do not drink the good
+wine which they produce; they export it. Money is more
+valuable to them than good wine. Inferior wine, however,
+remains, and is consumed to a great extent. We are of
+opinion that beer would offer to all considerable advantages;
+and therefore it is desirable that the brewing industry in
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_55">[55]</span>the South of France should be developed in the fullest
+possible manner.”</p>
+
+<p>In England about the year 1833 the use of intoxicating
+liquors had increased to such a point that government applied
+itself to the discovery of some means of diminishing
+the consumption. The Duke of Wellington, whose long
+career as a soldier on the continent and elsewhere had taught
+him the beneficial influence of beer, and who saw clearly the
+amount of misery and degradation caused among his countrymen
+by the use of distilled liquors, introduced while Prime
+Minister, the well known “Beer Bill.” Its passage was
+urged distinctly on the ground that a free consumption of
+beer would greatly diminish the use of spirits. The Duke
+himself strongly advocated the bill and instanced the continental
+beer-drinking countries as the happiest and most
+temperate on the globe.</p>
+
+<p>On the other hand the so-called temperance men appeared
+in large deputations to urge (against all reason) that whatever
+beer might be consumed would be in addition to the
+previous consumption of ardent spirits and not in place of it,
+or any part of it, that intoxication would be increased in a
+ratio correspondent to the amount of beer used, and in short
+that the proposed plan of reform was much like an attempt to
+quench fire by pouring on oil. The bill, however, was at last
+passed by a large majority and has proved very successful.
+The consumption of beer has largely increased, distilled liquors
+are less used, and, notwithstanding the assertions of some
+over-zealous partisans of total abstinence, we can prove by
+statistics carefully collected that the amount of drunkenness
+in the country began to decrease immediately after the passage
+of the bill. William E. Gladstone, the great English
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">[56]</span>statesman who, in the year 1868-9, carried through Parliament
+an act intended to promote the cause of temperance
+by cheapening wine and beer and making their sale part of
+the business of restaurants and confectioners’ shops, wrote
+a short time ago as follows: “I am opposed to coffee and
+tea palaces as I believe they are more deteriorating than beer
+shops. The stimulating properties of coffee or tea are greater
+and more injurious than those of malt liquors.”</p>
+
+<p>The course advocated by the Duke of Wellington and Mr.
+Gladstone has been fully justified by the results. Drunkenness
+has decreased and breweries have multiplied. The
+measure of advantage is to be found in the increase of large
+breweries whose product is distributed through many channels,
+for these furnish what is to take the place of the ardent
+spirit formerly consumed when one was away from home or
+wanted a change from the home-brewed ale to which he
+was accustomed. They also attract the favor of the poorer
+classes because they furnish so much more in bulk and nutritive
+power at the same or a less price.</p>
+
+<p>There are, however, many small breweries, such as those
+attached to country inns or to private houses. Some breweries
+also confine their business to supplying families with
+pale and table ales, stout or porter, in small barrels of four
+and a half, nine, and eighteen gallons. The number of
+breweries in Great Britain—aside from those which are
+strictly for private use—is, according to official returns,
+twenty-six thousand, two hundred and fourteen, which it
+will be seen is about nine times the number in the United
+States. The cost of good ale is about one shilling sterling
+a gallon.</p>

+<p>It is worthy of notice that the brewers of England are
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_57">[57]</span>distinguished for a wise generosity and public spirit, and

+Buxton, Mann, Truman, Guinness, Walker and Bass,<a id="FNanchor_17" href="#Footnote_17" class="fnanchor">[17]</a> will
+be long remembered for the magnificent charities that ennoble
+and perpetuate their names. To a greater or less degree
+the same characteristic comes to light in every country
+where beer is established as the popular beverage. Jacobsen,
+a brewer of Copenhagen, before his death set aside
+$280,000 to found a laboratory of scientific research. A

+
+<p>The late Khedive of Egypt, who has done more for the
+advancement of that country than any other ruler since the
+time of the Pharaohs, perceived the advantages to be gained
+by the introduction of beer, and granted very valuable privileges
+to a company of Swiss brewers, whose establishment
+is now in full and successful operation at Cairo. The
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_58">[58]</span>consumption is chiefly in the cities which are largely inhabited
+by Europeans, generally disposed to drink beer if it is good
+and readily attainable, but sure to use stronger drinks if
+the beer is wanting, and perhaps, from the circumstance of
+residence at a distance from home, more apt to use any intoxicating
+liquor to excess.</p>
+
+<p>Japan, a kingdom hardly known to us twenty-five years
+ago, and now recognized as one of the most highly civilized
+in the world, has thus far suffered very little from intoxicating
+drinks. Native stimulants have been used, and in
+some cases have proved as injurious as strong whisky,
+though perhaps more strictly harmful to the individual, and
+less so to his family and the community. The people are by
+nature and education gentle and polite, and their social manners
+are in many particulars a lesson to Europeans. They
+are usually temperate in all things, happy and contented.
+The Mikado, however, wisely considering that in the growing
+intercourse of Japan with foreign countries, a taste for
+ardent spirits can hardly fail to be developed, unless some
+counteracting influence be at work, has decided to foster
+the erection of beer breweries, and thus avert as far as possible
+an impending danger, while at the same time he gives
+his subjects an innocent and refreshing beverage. With
+this view, the representatives of Japan, now in Germany,
+have been directed to enter into arrangements with well-known
+brewers, for the erection of large breweries in Yokohama,
+Tokio, Saga, Nagasaki and Shidz-u-o-ka.</p>
+
+<p>The Shah of Persia also, is so far convinced of the advantages
+of beer, as to have made arrangements during his last
+visit to Vienna, for parties there to undertake its introduction
+in his kingdom.</p>

+<p>In Turkey, there are at Constantinople six breweries with
+an annual product of about one hundred and twenty thousand
+gallons. The hops are imported from Germany, but the

+worthy of notice that the first shipment by the <i>Thessalia</i>
+was fifty barrels of beer, a shipment well illustrating English

+<span class="chapt_sub">HOW BEER IS MADE AND WHAT IT IS.</span></h2>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>The production of beer, as of all other malt liquors, bears
+a striking similarity to the making of bread; the chief difference
+being in the quantity of grain employed, and the
+amount of water added. The one intended for a solid food
+is baked, the other for a liquid refreshment is boiled.</p>
+
+<p>The process of making beer is as follows: A certain
+quantity of malted barley is taken and ground, it is then
+mashed with hot water, the sweet liquor or wort extracted,
+a portion of hops added, and the whole boiled until the preservative
+quality as well as the aroma of the hops is obtained.
+It is then allowed to cool, and afterwards fermented with
+yeast to produce the small quantity of alcohol it contains,
+and to give it life. According to analyses made by different
+chemists, lager beer contains 91.0 water, 5.4 malt extract,
+3.5 alcohol, and the remainder—making in all 100 parts—carbonic
+acid. Ale and porter differ only in having a
+slight additional percentage of alcohol, and a large amount
+of solid extract.</p>
+
+<p>The substantial and useful character of the chief ingredient
+of beer may be seen from the nature of an analysis of
+the malt which forms its basis. The result is from Dr.
+Lermer, whose researches in this direction have been of
+great value.</p>

+<p>In the ordinary process of bread fermentation, a portion
+of the sugar contained in the flour is decomposed and converted
+into alcohol. It has been supposed that the whole
+of this alcohol was expelled by heat during baking; but recent
+experiments indicate that a perceptible amount still
+remains in yeast-raised bread after baking. The result of
+six experiments, showed that one-third of one per cent. in
+weight of alcohol was obtained from fresh baked bread.
+From forty loaves of fresh bread, two pounds each, alcohol
+equal to one bottle of port wine may be extracted.</p>
+
+<p>The celebrated Professor Balling of Prague, who has
+spent much time in the chemical analysis of different fermented
+beverages, arrives at the following result in reference
+to lager beer: “Lager beer manufactured of malt and hops
+according to the noble rules of brewing, properly fermented,
+stored for some time and perfectly clear, is a
+healthy and agreeable beverage, which when partaken of
+quenches thirst and strengthens, and thus combines the
+qualities of water, wine and food. The water is the thirst-quenching
+element, the wine the enlivening, the malt extract
+(composed of sugar, gum, etc.) the nourishing, and
+the carbonic acid gas the refreshing, while the hop extract
+strengthens the stomach, helps digestion, acts on the bladder
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_62">[62]</span>and is grateful to the human constitution. There is no
+doubt that lager beer brewed and stored strictly as before
+mentioned is hardly intoxicating.”</p>
+
+<p>An impression has gained ground in some quarters that
+as a matter of fact, beer is extensively and injuriously adulterated
+and certain persons claiming to be well informed
+have spread statements that potato starch, grape sugar,
+glycerine and molasses are added as substitutes for malt
+(barley), that Indian corn and rice are used instead of barley,
+that pine bark, quassia, walnut leaf, wormwood, bitter
+clover, aloes, picric acid, cocculus indicus and strychnine are
+substituted for hops, and that various chemicals are used to
+neutralize acidity or conceal dilution. A few of the first
+named would not be objectionable, unless in point of flavor,
+and as a matter of fact all of the substances named may at
+some time have been used by irresponsible brewers. A
+careful inquiry, however, has satisfied us that the adulteration
+of beer is rare, and one who reflects on the lively competition
+that exists in the trade must see how speedily and
+surely such a practice would be detected and exposed by
+business rivals. Touching the use of strychnine in particular,
+Dr. Ure says that</p>
+
+<p>1st. “Strychnine is exceedingly costly.</p>
+
+<p>2d. “It has a most unpleasant bitter, metallic taste.</p>
+
+<p>3d. “It is a notorious poison whose use would ruin the
+reputation of any brewer.</p>
+
+<p>4th. “It cannot be introduced into ordinary beer brewed
+with hops because it is entirely precipitated by the infusion
+of that wholesome, fragrant herb. * * * * Were the
+ <i>nux-vomica</i> powder from which strychnia is extracted even
+stealthily thrown into the mash tun, its dangerous principle
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">[63]</span>would be all infallibly thrown down with the grounds in
+the subsequent boiling with the hops.”</p>
+
+<p>When we remember the immense improvement in the
+quality of American beer within the past few years and
+learn how often expensive machinery and appliances have
+been abandoned after a short use in favor of something better,
+we can hardly believe that brewers who conduct their
+business after such a fashion, will at the same time try to
+make a petty profit by using poor material and so deteriorating
+the product on whose excellence the success of their
+business depends. The genuineness of beer from any established
+brewery may usually be taken for granted. In 1872
+after an extensive examination of beers in Great Britain
+only six samples were found to be adulterated.<a id="FNanchor_18" href="#Footnote_18" class="fnanchor">[18]</a></p>

+
+<p>An effort has been made by many so-called temperance
+papers to disseminate an opposite view in this matter and
+the statements made can only be excused on the ground of
+ignorance—which in the circumstances is inexcusable. No
+doubt beer has been often adulterated, but to represent the
+practice as common or as prevailing in breweries that expect
+to live and that have a character to maintain is to
+speak in contradiction to the facts and to common sense.
+Lately at Newark, New Jersey, charges of this general nature
+were made by a total abstinence speaker and the matter
+was for once taken up by the brewers of the city, in whose
+behalf a well known member of the trade addressed the
+following letter to the orator of the day:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot">

+<p><span class="smcap">Sir</span>—In a lecture delivered by you at Park Hall, Newark, N. J., on
+Sunday afternoon, July 13, 1879, you are reported in the <cite>Newark Morning

+and not even the finest imported liquors are free from them. Strychnine
+and stramonium, two deadly poisons, are used in the manufacture

+one of the most virulent of poisons, is also used, and not less
+than 10,000 tons of the deadly cocculus are consumed. Cocculus is

+<p>Thereupon the lecturer made answer that the papers had
+not reported him correctly. Here the matter might have
+dropped, and there was in fact an end of this particular phase
+of the question. The case, however, had made a stir and presently
+a representative of the teetotal party called at the office
+of the United States Brewing Association to collect information
+which was given him as a matter of course. Then
+came a proposition from the same party for a public discussion
+on the following extraordinary terms. Twelve propositions
+were to be advanced and supported by a practiced
+speaker on the teetotal side. The representative of the
+Newark Brewers was to have an opportunity to reply to
+each, and the other speaker was then to sum up and conclude
+the discussion. The brewers’ representative had only
+three days notice and naturally declined any such arrangement
+in which all the advantage was evidently assumed by
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_65">[65]</span>the other side. The discussion also was to be confined to
+one evening, and a collection was to be taken up “to defray
+expenses.” The Newark Brewers’ Association, however,
+expressed their willingness to debate on fair terms and
+with one evening for each proposition, but this arrangement
+was declined. We have taken pains to procure the
+twelve propositions of the total abstinence club, and append
+them here chiefly in order to call attention to the fact that
+the greater part are especially treated in this book, while
+the others are touched incidentally or by direct inference.
+The propositions are as follows:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot">
+
+<p>No. 1.—The use of malt liquors is a direct cause of intemperance.</p>
+
+<p>No. 2.—The use of malt liquors tends to the use of stronger
+liquors.</p>
+
+<p>No. 3.—Malt liquors, if habitually used to any considerable
+extent, tend to cause ill-health.</p>
+
+<p>No. 4.—The claim that malt liquors are valuable as food is
+without foundation.</p>
+
+<p>No. 5.—As a medicine, malt liquors are of use only to those
+who do not ordinarily use them, and are dangerous because of
+their tendency to create habit.</p>
+
+<p>No. 6.—The theory that malt liquors can be substituted by
+consumers of alcoholic beverages for distilled liquors, to any important
+extent, is false.</p>
+
+<p>No. 7.—Beer in this country is far more evil in its effects than
+in Germany; but even there its bad effects, as used by the people,
+are obvious to every traveler who has no theory to maintain.</p>
+
+<p>No. 8.—The use of beer by the working classes has a direct
+relation to poverty.</p>
+
+<p>No. 9.—The use of malt liquors by the masses has a relation
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">[66]</span>to crime, which, though differing in some respects from that of
+distilled liquors, is marked and alarming.</p>
+
+<p>No. 10.—Beer saloons and gardens, as a whole, are demoralizing
+in their effects on individuals, families, and especially on
+children.</p>
+
+<p>No. 11.—The great increase in the use of malt liquors and the
+increase in intemperance for the past fifteen years have been
+parallel, and are intimately connected.</p>
+
+<p>No. 12.—That beer saloons should be subjected to the same
+restrictions under which ordinary grog shops are placed.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>Further comment would be superfluous, especially as this
+whole matter is, strictly speaking, a digression from the
+purpose of the chapter, although one that is so natural as
+to be almost inevitable.</p>
+
+<p>There has also been much misrepresentation of the views
+of prominent men. For instance, the <cite>Religious Herald</cite> of
+Hartford, Conn., recently reprinted an article in which it is
+asserted that Professor Liebig “has proved to a certainty
+that as much flour as can lie on the point of a table knife is
+more nutritious than eight quarts of Bavarian beer, counted
+the best made. Also that the man who drinks two gallons
+of Bavarian beer a day for a year, gets only as much nutriment
+from his seven hundred and thirty gallons as he would
+from one five-pound loaf of bread or three pounds of flesh!”
+The article has been extensively copied all over the country
+and is calculated to do much harm by throwing the influence
+of an important name on a side where it was never intended
+to go.</p>
+
+<p>Now it is barely possible that Professor Liebig made such
+a statement as to nutriment of a special form, though we
+are not aware of any passage that can give the least color
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">[67]</span>to the assertion. On the other hand his real view appears
+in such passages as the following: “Pure lager beer, when
+taken with lean flesh and little bread yields a diet approaching
+to milk; with fat meat, approaching to rice or potatoes.”
+And again, “In beer-drinking countries it is the universal
+medicine for the healthy as well as for the sick, and it is
+milk to the aged.” These views are shared by almost all
+the eminent men who have made a scientific study of beer,
+and the opinions and results reached by a large number of
+chemists of high authority will be found in a subsequent
+chapter. “We have anticipated thus much here because in
+describing beer as it is, it seemed necessary to indicate to
+some degree what it is not, at least so far as to explain that
+it is not generally adulterated, and is not wholly useless, as
+a large party constantly asserts it to be.”</p>

+
+<span class="chapt_sub">THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALE, PORTER AND LAGER BEER.</span></h2>
+</div>
+
+<p>It has been already mentioned that the earliest beers
+were made without hops. After the use of this plant was
+discovered beer brewing as an art made rapid progress, and
+not only did every country make its own special sort of
+beer, but many varieties existed side by side in most of the
+German states and in England. Experiments were made
+with all sorts of grain, with potatoes and with plants and
+herbs, the object being in every case to produce a wort
+whose beer should have special advantages in point of flavor
+or cost or both. Gradually, however, most of the materials
+were quietly dropped, although potatoes are still used for
+the Strasbourg beer, and wheat forms an important element
+of the famous white beer of northern Germany. Barley
+is the grain that has universally been found best
+adapted to the purpose of making a brown beer of an agreeable
+flavor and of moderate price. With the question of
+material thus practically settled, it might be supposed that
+the difference between various brews of beer would disappear.
+On the contrary the number of varieties is to-day
+greater than ever before. Every step in the manufacture,
+from the selection of the grain and hops on to the final delivery
+of the product to the consumer, has something to do
+with the characteristics of the beer, and the difficulty does
+not lie in producing something new, but in reproducing accurately
+what has once been successfully tested.</p>
+
+<p>Whatever the distinguishing features of the product, it is
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_69">[69]</span>still beer, and any one specimen of the genus has the general
+properties of all the others. All beer has a notably
+small percentage of alcohol, the strongest ales and porters
+showing less than many specimens of cider; all contain an
+appreciable amount of solid nutriment which in some heavy-bodied
+beers is quite considerable; all are palatable and
+wholesome, and all are adapted to take the place of ardent
+spirits and thus reduce intemperance and drunkenness to a
+ <i>minimum</i>. It is hardly necessary to explain that in this book
+the word beer is used in its wide sense. When special varieties
+are meant they are spoken of by name unless the context
+is such as to remove all doubt.</p>
+
+<p>After the time of experiment and the disuse of most of
+the grains, etc., that had been tried, there still remained
+two well-marked varieties differing essentially in the mode
+of fermentation, and our modern ale and lager beer may be
+taken as types of the two kinds. The former is fermented
+rapidly at a high temperature and the fermentation checked
+while a considerable portion of sugar still remains unchanged,
+while the latter is fermented slowly and thoroughly at a
+low temperature. The first process is the one originally
+employed everywhere and has held almost undisputed
+ground in England, where, as might in such circumstances
+be expected, ale-brewing has reached its most thorough
+development. At the beginning of the eighteenth century
+there were in that country three recognized sorts, ale, beer
+and two-penny, differing chiefly in the quantity of malt
+used for each kind. These were often mixed to suit customers
+and in 1730, to avoid the trouble of constant mixing,
+a new drink was brewed, called “entire,” and meant to
+resemble the triple compound. This was afterwards known
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">[70]</span>as porter, and at present the general distinction is between
+porter and ale, though we still hear of small beer. The
+variety of ales, however, is very great. They are made of
+all colors and all degrees of strength, very bitter like the
+pale ale, and sweetish like the Scotch ale, so long-lived that
+they can be exported to hot climates and kept for years,
+and so short-lived that they must be used within three or
+four weeks. Some are perfectly clear and bright, and resemble
+nothing so much as Rhine wine, of whose flavor also
+they have an indescribable suggestion, while others are dark
+with solid extract and possess a characteristic delicate flavor
+that resembles nothing else. In this respect America is
+yet far in the rear. There is plenty of good ale but there
+has been no demand sufficient to cause so varied a supply
+or to develop so well-marked special flavors. When, however,
+we remember for how long a time cider was the common
+drink of the people to the exclusion of beer, and see
+how, in spite of such an obstacle at the start, the business
+gradually gained ground, and when we remember that outside
+the larger cities, even twenty years ago, ale was almost
+sure to be dull and muddy and very apt to be sour, we
+must admit that American ale-brewers have accomplished
+much. They have succeeded so far as to secure a large
+sale for their brew, and so far that now almost anywhere
+one is certain of a tolerable glass of beer—unless the existence
+of a prohibitory law excludes everything but whisky.
+Their success appears the more striking because of the
+recent great increase in the use of lager beer, for enormous
+as is the consumption of the latter it has hardly produced
+any effect on the sales of the ale-brewers. There is a large
+number who prefer the flavor of ale, others drink it from
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_71">[71]</span>habit and will always do so, others drink it because they
+ape English fashions, others because the comparatively
+secluded and unsocial character imported from England to
+our ale-houses suits them better than the more social and
+gregarious customs of the lager beer garden, some even
+because it is usually the more costly of the two beverages.
+Some doubtless prefer it because it usually contains a little
+more alcohol than lager beer, and very many use either beer
+indifferently according to circumstances and convenience.</p>
+
+<p>As to porter there is little that need be said. Its origin
+has been already mentioned, and when we add that the
+color is due to browned malt and its flavor to seeds or the
+like we have stated all that would interest the general reader.
+It is essentially a heavy-bodied ale, however great the superficial
+unlikeness.</p>
+
+<p>The difference in the manner of fermentation of ale and
+lager beer has been previously indicated, but the following
+passage from Professor Liebig will be found of interest:
+“In that country (Bavaria) the malt wort is set to ferment
+in open backs with an extensive surface, and placed in cool
+cellars having an atmospheric temperature not exceeding
+8° or 10° C (46½ or 50 F.). The operation lasts from
+three to four weeks; the carbonic acid is disengaged, not
+in large bubbles that burst on the surface of the liquid, but
+in very small vesicles like those of a mineral water or of a
+liquor saturated with carbonic acid when the pressure is
+removed. The surface of the fermenting wort is always in
+contact with the oxygen of the atmosphere as it is hardly
+covered with froth and as all the yeast is deposited at the
+bottom of the back under the form of a very viscid sediment,
+called in German <i lang="de">unterhefe</i>.”</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_72">[72]</span></p>
+<p>The process thus described results in the production of a
+beer which will not sour even if kept exposed to the air
+for a long time. Barrels only half full have remained uninjured
+for months. It is to be noticed, however, that both
+ale and lager beer can be prepared under many modifications
+of the main plan, and both are often made for immediate
+use without regard to keeping qualities and pass by
+the names of present use ale and Schenck beer.</p>
+
+<p>As lager beer usually contains a little less alcohol than
+ale, it has been most commonly spoken of by those who are
+striving to eradicate intemperance by introducing beer in
+the place of ardent spirits. The difference in alcoholic
+strength is not, however, so great as many persons suppose,
+the percentage in ales ranging from 8.88 to 5.36, while
+that of lager beer varies from 6.50 to 3.06. The kind of
+beer to be preferred for the work in any country is that
+best suited to the tastes and traditions of the people. On
+the continent of Europe and in America lager beer has
+thus far played the more prominent part, while in England
+the responsibility of all that has been accomplished belongs
+to ale.</p>
+
+<p>It is not improbable that the English brewing business
+has already reached its culminating point. A large part of
+the annual product has long been exported to the colonies,
+and now these are beginning to brew beer for themselves
+and will soon have a supply of their own make, sufficient
+in quality and quantity to make them independent of the
+mother country. With us the case is different. The consumption
+is increasing rapidly, and brewers show a wise
+liberality in securing new processes and appurtenances, and
+spare no effort to improve the quality of their product.
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_73">[73]</span>Those who make the best beer secure the most custom, and
+the fraternity are fully aware of the fact. All this rivalry
+cannot fail to benefit the consumer. Every year sees better
+ale and lager beer sent over the country, and every year
+something is contributed to the solution of the problem in
+brewing—to produce a mild beer that with more extract
+than is now found shall contain even less alcohol, and remain
+bright and refreshing. Whether full success in such
+an attempt is to be sooner reached by the ale or lager beer
+brewers remains to be seen, or it may well be that some
+new malt beverage may be discovered, unlike either of the
+others and superior to both. Such a result would be no
+more striking than other steps in progress already made,
+and brewers of large experience are to be found who believe
+that some such discovery is impending. In the meantime
+we have the satisfaction of knowing that America
+already produces malt liquors made from native materials
+that are wholesome and agreeable and at least up to the
+average of similar liquors made in countries where brewing
+has been carefully studied and extensively practiced for
+centuries, while with us it is chiefly a recent growth. The
+degree of success that is possible when we take into account
+the natural resources of the country and the enterprising
+character of the brewers is hardly to be realized.</p>

+
+
+<p>The brewing of ale has been so long an established industry
+in this country and advances so regularly from year to
+year as to offer no striking facts for comment. With lager
+beer the case is different, and the rapidity of the increase in
+its use is something remarkable. Fifty years ago it was
+hardly known as a beverage in the United States. Now
+and then some good old German would import a keg from
+his native home in the old country, to be drunk on the occasion
+of some great family festival, and call up in his adopted
+home thoughts of the merry days of youth and friendly
+faces, last seen perhaps in some deep valley of the Tyrol or
+in the shadows of a city that was old when the Pilgrims
+landed at Plymouth Rock. But in the case of so good a
+creature as lager beer such occasional and almost poetical
+use could not always remain the only one, and at last a
+German of Philadelphia conceived the idea of erecting a
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_75">[75]</span>lager beer brewery. According to the Hon. Frederick Lauer
+of Reading, Pa., (and we have all reason to put implicit
+faith in his version) it was introduced by one Wagner, a
+practical brewer who came from Germany to the United
+States in a sailing vessel in the year 1842, and shortly after
+landing he brewed the first lager in a miserable shanty on
+the outskirts of Philadelphia, and thus became the Gambrinus
+of America. (We would here refer the reader to the
+biographical sketch of Frederick Lauer, Esq., in Appendix
+A.)</p>
+
+<p>His success induced another German to try the same
+experiment on a small scale in the city of New York, and
+from this insignificant beginning the business has increased
+to its present immense proportions, so that there are now
+according to the latest return of the Internal Revenue Department
+at Washington, no less than two thousand eight
+hundred and thirty ale and lager beer breweries in active
+operation. The number is in fact considerably larger than
+that given by the Department, owing to the method of returning
+only those in actual business at the beginning of
+the year and to other causes. The annual product according
+to the Department figures, is over three hundred million
+gallons. More exactly the figures are, 303,147,552 gallons,
+or 9,473,361 barrels. In addition to this there are numerous
+private breweries where beer is made for home consumption
+but not for sale, and these do not fall under the Internal
+Revenue regulations and are consequently not reported.</p>

+<p>It will be seen from this table that whilst the export of
+beer in casks has not considerably increased, the increase in
+the export of bottled beer has been very large. In 1870
+we exported 1,076 dozens, and in 1878, 76,475 dozen! This
+trade has especially been encouraged by the Philadelphia
+Centennial Exhibition, as it enabled us to show to the
+world the quality of our production.</p>
+
+<p>The gigantic establishments that, in many cases cover
+entire blocks, are monuments of very lucrative enterprise
+and ought to be the pride of the American people. The
+truth is, that, notwithstanding a yearly sale of more than
+300,000,000 gallons, the consumption of beer is yet in its
+infancy. With an increasing number of persons it ceases
+to be a luxury and takes rank with the other articles of
+daily food. The demand for it in all parts of the United
+States is increasing so rapidly that existing breweries are
+enlarged and improved, and new ones are springing up in
+every direction. In Appendices D, E and B will be found a
+list of breweries in the United States with the names of the
+proprietors and the product of each, together with the total
+product by States, as also the production <i lang="la"> per capita</i> in the
+various countries of Europe, the total production in the same
+countries, and the number of breweries in each, and we trust
+that these tables will not only be of service to the trade and to
+students of this question, but also serve to give some prominence
+to the men who have done much for the advance of
+genuine temperance and who deserve a more substantial recognition
+than any it is in our power to give.</p>
+
+<p>All this progress is a natural result of the actual benefits
+beer has bestowed on mankind, and these again follow logically
+and as might be expected from its constitution, containing
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">[82]</span>as it does a large portion of water from which all
+organic impurities are eliminated, a certain quantity of nutritive
+malt extract and a very small percentage of pure
+alcohol, obtained by fermentation and entirely free from the
+injurious properties it acquires in distillation, together with
+some of the carbonic acid gas so thoroughly approved by
+consumers of soda water. It offers to the public a beverage
+at once healthy, nutritious, and mildly stimulating, and as
+refreshing and exhilarating as tea, coffee or cocoa.</p>

+<p>Those who travel know very well the injurious effect of a
+change of water. In no two districts are the waters alike,
+and we could point to many instances where removal from
+East to West or from North to South and the consequent
+change of water has resulted in disastrous effects upon individuals.
+Any inconvenience of this sort would be diminished
+or altogether avoided by means of a free use of beer.
+Another similar advantage of beer is mentioned by Joseph
+Coppinger in his work on brewing, called “The American
+Practical Brewer, etc.,” published in New York in 1815.
+After recommending new ale as a preventive and yeast as
+an antidote to malarial fever, he continues: “Brewing, in
+every country, whose soil and climate are congenial to the
+production of the raw materials, should be ranked among
+the first objects of its domestic and political economy. But
+a still more important consideration is the health and morals
+of our population, which appears to be essentially connected
+with the progress of the brewing trade. In proof of this
+assertion, I will beg leave to state a well-known fact; which
+is, that in proportion as the consumption of malt liquors
+have increased in towns, in that proportion has the health of
+our fellow-citizens improved, and epidemics and intermittents
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_83">[83]</span>become less frequent. In the country it is well known
+that those families who make frequent use of good beer during
+the summer, are in general healthy, and preserve their
+color; whilst their less fortunate neighbors, who do not use
+beer at all, are devoured by fevers and intermittents. These
+facts will be less doubted when it is known that yeast, properly
+administered, has been found singularly successful in
+the cure of fevers.” The views thus expressed more than
+sixty years ago have recently received much attention and
+are now advocated by many eminent authorities who hold
+that they are confirmed by both fact and theory.</p>
+
+<p>The sum of the whole is that the beer brewing business
+has within a short time increased immensely—and strictly
+on the more general recognition of the merits of the product—and
+that there is every reason to anticipate at least an
+equal increase in the near future. Beer is already taking
+the place of ardent spirits and mixed drinks, and not long
+ago there appeared in the New York <cite>Sun</cite> the complaint of a
+bar-keeper who said in substance that the occupation of a
+skilled compounder of fancy drinks was gone, for anybody
+could draw beer and beer was what everybody wanted.
+Large gatherings now are more orderly than a few years
+ago and the reason is to be found in the general use of beer
+instead of whisky. At Coney Island the proprietors speak
+of the change as wonderful, and say that but for beer they
+could not get on, while now a disorderly occurrence is rare,
+no matter how great the throng. The same thing may be
+seen at the various races and in all such great assemblages
+of people who gather for enjoyment, and under the old regime
+were sure to become riotous.</p>

+<span class="chapt_sub">COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES OF BEER OVER DISTILLED
+OR SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS.</span></h2>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>The peculiar advantages of beer as a wholesome and refreshing
+beverage, as compared with either ardent spirits or
+water have never been so clearly displayed as in the late
+war between France and Germany—and it may with truth
+be asserted, that it has triumphantly withstood the trial,
+and fully maintained its reputation.</p>
+
+<p>The German military surgeons, in their official report to
+the Imperial medical board, bear witness to the superiority
+of beer over wine. They not only state that the refreshing
+quality of the carbonic acid gas contained in beer makes it
+especially grateful to men fatigued by a long march, or exhausted
+by a day’s fighting, but lay still greater stress on
+its usefulness in the hospital and ambulance, and say that
+when it could be obtained it was administered with great
+success as a cordial, both to the wounded, and to convalescent
+soldiers placed for the time under their care. They
+add the interesting fact, that throughout that campaign the
+wounded invariably evinced a great longing for beer and
+that when brought into hospital with shattered limbs or severe
+cuts or gun-shot wounds, their first request was usually
+for a glass of beer. The same was true after severe
+operations, and the drink was found to compose and fortify
+their unstrung nerves. The natural inclination to beer as
+a restorative was very conspicuous among the soldiers who
+were on exposed outpost duty during the cold weather at
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_85">[85]</span>the time of the blockade and siege of Paris. The supply
+was scanty, and common soldiers did not hesitate to pay
+army followers a large price for a glass containing only a
+few mouthfuls of beer. The report of the Director General
+of the medical staff of the Imperial army is in the same
+tone, and concludes with a strong recommendation not only
+to supply the soldiers with rations of beer instead of spirits
+when employed on active duty, but also to introduce it as
+the usual beverage of the army in time of peace and when
+on home service.</p>
+
+<p>Professor Moleschott, the distinguished physiologist, in
+his work on the chemistry of food, treats of beer and makes
+the following statements: “The weak alcoholic solution
+called beer contains nearly the same proportion of albumen
+as is found in fruits, some sugar and gum, and another constituent
+which is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen,
+is soluble in water and is called the bitter principle of hops.
+* * * Fermented liquors, particularly lager beer taken
+in moderation, increase the secretion of the digestive juices
+and promote the solution of the food, and further, a good
+lager beer partakes of all the advantages of the alcoholic
+beverages and at the same time quenches thirst by the large
+amount of water it contains. Hence lager beer is particularly
+adapted to satisfy the frequent thirst caused by physical
+exercise, and it is a laudable custom to refresh artisans
+who have to work hard, with a glass of this beverage. Its
+albumen, equal to that of fruit, even supplies a direct substitute
+for food.”</p>
+
+<p>To this we may add that a laborer who has repeatedly
+experienced its invigorating property will by no means admit
+the truth of the assertion that a half-pound loaf of
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_86">[86]</span>bread and a pint of water are more supporting than a pint
+of beer. A glass of good beer may often be better than food
+or physic. We do not always want food and we seldom
+need physic, but a glass of beer is often a useful refreshment
+when the stomach is not prepared for the one and the
+system has no need of the other. Excessive physical labor,
+long Endurance of hunger, or anything else which has a debilitating
+influence, affects the appetite for solid food and
+unfits the stomach for its reception. At such times beer
+has an excellent effect, both in affording some present refreshment
+and in preparing the system for more substantial
+food—and no such advantage can be found in the use of
+water, and nothing like an equivalent in that of ardent
+spirits. Richmond Sheen, an eminent authority, says:
+“That beer is nutritive and salubrious cannot be doubted.
+It proves a refreshing drink and an agreeable and valuable
+stimulus and support to those who have to undergo much
+bodily fatigue.”</p>
+
+<p>In cases of mental depression too, a glass of beer has
+often the same good effect as food after physical exhaustion.
+On this point Professor T. K. Chambers of New York very
+justly says: “It is certain that the habitual use of some stimulant,
+particularly beer, bestows on a large class the nervous
+energy necessary to digest food enough to exist upon
+and get through other vital functions. By this stimulus
+they are enabled to be useful members of society instead of
+the mere drones they must become during the rest of their
+existence under a total abstinence regime.”</p>
+
+<p>The records of disease and the bills of mortality in beer-drinking
+countries show longer lives and a less percentage
+of sickness than prevail where malt liquors are replaced by
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_87">[87]</span>other beverages.<a id="FNanchor_19" href="#Footnote_19" class="fnanchor">[19]</a> Not only is this true but the social condition
+of the people is better in countries where beer is recognized
+and encouraged by government, and a very striking
+illustration of this truth may be found through a comparison
+of the state of Maine and the kingdom of Bavaria. Bavaria
+is the most noted beer-drinking country on the globe
+and Maine is distinctively known as the prohibitory state.
+The forms of government are radically different and an
+American naturally holds that the republican is superior to
+the monarchical, <i>i. e.</i>, tends to promote the greater happiness
+of the individual. Let us see what can be learned about
+the matter, and first as to the terms of the comparison.</p>
+
+<div class="footnotes"><div class="footnote">
+
+<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_19" href="#FNanchor_19" class="label">[19]</a> The Germans are the healthiest class of New Yorkers. Statistics show
+that the mortality among them is nearly 38 per cent. less than that of other
+citizens, while their increase by births is larger, and the same is found to be
+generally true of Germans all over this continent.</p>
+
+</div>
+</div>
+<p>The advantages and disadvantages in the struggle for
+existence are about equal in amount though naturally different
+in character. In Bavaria, society is old, habits
+strong, the fetters of trade not easily broken, untilled
+land scarce and the population dense. In Maine there is
+abundance of new land, much timber yet unconsumed, no
+limits on a choice of occupation, a new society and a sparse
+population. The state has a climate that stimulates to industry
+and the men pride themselves on their strength and
+energy. In Bavaria few receive aid from the state or the
+municipality; while in Maine, the records in this respect
+are frightful. Maine has in addition all the advantages
+that can be obtained by means of the most stringent prohibitory
+law ever devised, a law that, according to its advocates,
+must tend to secure peace, prosperity and happiness.
+Which of these countries should have most paupers, men
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_88">[88]</span>who are unable to find their own living and are supported
+at the cost of the state? As a matter of fact the number
+in Bavaria is very small while the record of Maine is bad
+not merely in comparison with the old monarchy but as set
+against that of the United States at large. The last census
+shows one pauper to every 171.65 of the population of
+Maine, while the pauper rate of the whole country was
+only one in 502.47.</p>
+
+<p>Again, the condition of Bavaria is such as favors emigration
+to a large extent, yet her population, in spite of it, increased
+4.5 per cent. during the last census decade while
+that of Maine decreased .02 <i>per cent.</i> during the same time,
+and <em>Maine was the only state in the Union where a decrease
+occurred</em>. We have seen that in the original comparison
+the <em>pros</em> and <em>cons</em> were pretty equally balanced. The difference
+is that Bavaria encourages the use of beer and
+Maine prohibits it. It must not, however, be supposed that
+the prohibitory law suppresses the sale of spirituous drinks.
+On this point abundant evidence will be shortly presented,
+and we need only say here that we know on the best authority
+that “no one need go without his whisky in Maine,
+though a glass of beer is not to be had for love or money.”
+The reason is obvious, beer is bulky and difficult of concealment
+while spirits can be easily hidden. In this connection
+notice that in the United States between 1860 and
+1870 the production of beer rose from something more than
+a million barrels to over eight million and that during the
+same time the pauper rate decreased from one in 379.09 to
+one in 502.47, a striking and very significant fact which
+may well be commended to the attention of our legislators
+and others interested in the connection between the proverbial
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_89">[89]</span>thrift of the German emigrant here and his indulgence
+in beer. The intellectual advance of the beer-drinking
+countries is so notorious as to need no special comment
+here.</p>
+
+<p>At present a recapitulation of some characteristic national
+habits in the matter of drinking, things well known to
+every one who has given the subject attention, will serve
+both as a further illustration of the superiority of beer over
+other beverages and as a comment on what has been previously
+said of the modern history of beer-drinking in the
+more important civilized countries of the world.</p>
+
+<p>The Scotchman drinks his “mountain dew,” a strong
+whisky containing over 54 per cent. of alcohol,—and Scotland
+has long been noted for intemperance. The Russian
+grows sullen and sluggish over his vadka or kwass,
+containing 52.68 <em>per cent.</em> of alcohol, and drunkenness and
+crime follow as natural results. The volatile Italians and
+Spaniards drink their mild wines as freely as their mothers’
+milk and do not disgrace themselves or become a nuisance
+to others by beastly intoxication. Frenchmen were formerly
+to be placed in the same category but recent debates
+in the French Academy of medicine have developed the
+fact that in parts of France and in some Swiss cantons
+the powerful and seductive influence of brandy, absinthe
+and schnapps has diminished the consumption of wine and
+gone far to undermine the health and morals of the people.
+The excitable Irishman drinks eagerly and rapidly his
+strong whisky which contains more than 57 per cent. of
+pure alcohol and rouses all his combative qualities so that
+merry-making is almost sure to end in a fight, and trials of
+strength or skill which begin in good feeling end with
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_90">[90]</span>broken heads and general tumult. The more sedate German
+drinks slowly, with much smoke and animated conversation,
+a beer which has only about four <em>per cent.</em> of alcohol.
+He imbibes great quantities and may become merry or dull
+according to the length of his potations, but he rarely if
+ever fights. The Englishman drinks much in a solid matter-of-fact
+way, but is learning to substitute beer for a
+great part of the stronger liquor he formerly consumed and
+becoming temperate in the same ratio. The American Republic,
+though chiefly British in its origin and therefore inheriting
+a taste for strong liquors, has become by immigration
+truly cosmopolitan, and is on the high road to temperance
+secured by a general use of fermented drinks. One
+great obstacle in the way is the wonderful variety of “fancy
+drinks,” whose names catch the ear as surely as their
+ingredients tickle the palate. They entice young and old,
+seduce by their novelty or piquancy and carry many thousands
+on the straight road to drunkenness and its accompanying
+moral and physical wreck. The practice of “treating”
+is also very common and very injurious. It leads to a hasty
+and immoderate consumption that has little or no regard to
+the requirements of the individual and has by some been
+considered the real foundation stone of a habit of intemperance.
+The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent address
+before the Business Men’s Society of Brooklyn, favored
+“moderation in drinking and total abstinence from treating.”
+He said he never drank beer until he was sixty
+years old, after which time he became fond of it, and evidently
+believed that its use is a means to temperance for
+the people. There are many who might say nearly the
+same thing. We are learning to appreciate malt drinks and
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_91">[91]</span>the tendency is unmistakable, although it must be admitted
+that, on the whole, the disposition of the people is, as yet,
+more nearly like that of the Celt than the Teuton.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. W. A. Lawrence of Waterville, N. Y., in a paper
+chiefly devoted to facts respecting the growth of hops, thus
+speaks of the general question—beer <em>versus</em> whisky: “The
+fact is that the quality of beer, as a light and refreshing
+drink, has been wonderfully improved within the past few
+years. A bottle of beer to-day has but about half the
+strength of the beer of twenty years ago, and half the
+strength of ordinary wine and cider. The beer of to-day is
+just what the American people want—a cool, mildly refreshing,
+stimulating and palatable drink. Wine is too expensive
+for a common drink. Cider is too sour and strong.
+Whisky is not a drink at all but a drug, and you have to
+take water after it as you do after taking other drugs, and
+it ought to be kept in a drug-store for sale and nowhere
+else. But beer is not only agreeable and refreshing and
+cheap, but it is mild, and generally peaceful and good-humored
+in its effects. It is true a man can get drunk on
+it, but a man won’t. A hog may, but most beer-drinkers
+are not hogs, but hard-working men who know what they
+want and what fills the bill, and if they wanted to get
+drunk they would drink whisky and get a good deal bigger
+drunk at less expense and in half the time.</p>
+
+<p>“The great majority of the beer-drinkers in America are
+these same hard-working men and women, who also drink
+beer with their food as we all do our tea and coffee. But
+in addition to these, who are mostly our German citizens,
+there are thousands of men, old Americans, who have
+learned to love beer, who will drink it as long as they live
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">[92]</span>and will live the longer for drinking it. It is among the
+native Americans that the demand for beer and hops is increasing.
+The Germans always did drink for fifteen generations
+back, as much as they could hold, and in spite of
+all the theories of our anti-beer, total abstinence friends,
+the Germans in Germany and in this country seem to be
+still above ground; and so far as this country is concerned,
+as myself, an American citizen, and the son of American
+ancestry for five generations back, I wish to God we could
+trade off about two millions of native American whisky-drinkers
+now in the “solid South,” for two millions of
+hard-working Germans who would do their own work, and
+drink their own beer, and keep clear of fights and strikes
+and riots and greenback conventions, as they keep clear
+of them here in the North to-day.</p>
+
+<p>“Now everybody knows that whisky is full of the devil
+and that beer is full of humor and good fellowship; and it
+can hardly fail to rejoice the heart of every good hop-grower
+to find that in raising hops for beer he is incidentally
+engaged in the great “temperance movement” of leading
+men away from bad whisky to good beer. I know this
+is not what the professional temperance lecturers say, but
+what do I care what they say? A temperance lecturer is
+generally a retired whisky drinker and can see snakes in
+everything, including beer. Or he is a clergyman and has
+acquired the habit of talking with no one to contradict him
+and hence is careless of his facts. Or he is a paid professional,
+and knows that if war is made on whisky alone,
+whisky would soon be driven to the drug-store and no
+more temperance lecturers needed or paid for. I do not
+hesitate to affirm that I know more about beer by experience
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_93">[93]</span>and contact and study than the whole crowd of temperance
+lecturers put together. They ‘mean well’ to be
+sure; and so do I. The difference between us lies in the
+fact that they don’t know what they are talking about, and
+I do, because I am personally familiar with something like
+a thousand breweries in the United States and have peculiar
+advantages for information.</p>
+
+<p>“And I am sick and tired of sitting in churches built by
+hops, whose clergymen’s salaries are paid by hops, whose
+congregations live by hops, and that is by beer at first or
+second hand, and there listening to wholesale denunciations
+of beer, and even to cold-blooded, cold-water propositions to
+pass a general United States law making it illegal to manufacture
+beer anywhere in the country. One hop-grower
+who paid out over two thousand dollars to the poor women
+and children of one village last fall for picking hops, got
+up and left a church where some of this anti-beer nonsense
+was being aired, but as a general thing a man can talk
+against beer in a hop church with as little restraint as a
+missionary to Greenland feels in preaching hell-fire to his
+shivering congregation. The brewer is far away, and the
+connection between hops and beer is kept carefully out of
+sight. But to a carnal mind like mine it does seem a
+mean trick for a hop-grower to send out a hop-dealer with
+a flag of truce to the brewers and sell him hops in a
+friendly way, and meanwhile the hop-grower is lying in
+ambush behind a stack of hop-poles, ready as soon as his
+hops are sold to blaze away at the brewer with a prohibition
+bullet or ballot. I believe there are very few hop-growers
+who are capable of such meanness as this, but I do
+believe there are a great many who do not realize the close
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_94">[94]</span>connection between hops and beer, and to these I say respectfully,
+as I did two years ago in a prominent hop
+paper, ‘If you believe beer is a bad thing, plow up your
+hop-yards and put in corn and potatoes. It is true that
+somebody may turn the corn and potatoes into whisky, but
+that is not your fault. Corn and potatoes must be had for
+food. But there is no such excuse as this in the case of
+hops. The hops are raised on purpose for beer. Not one
+bale in a hundred is used for yeast or medicine. Therefore
+you are the “outside man” of the brewery, and if beer is a
+fraud you are a party to a fraud, and you are not an honest
+man. We believe that the making of beer is an honest and
+praiseworthy occupation, no better and no worse than any
+other branch of manufacturing goods that are wanted
+either for use or pleasure.’</p>
+
+<p>“When I say we, I mean the men who believe in a radical
+distinction between fermented liquors and distilled.
+Such men as Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby, and Dr. William A.
+Hammond, formerly medical director of the United States
+army, and Dr. Willard Parker, the leading practicing physician
+of New York, and a most earnest Christian man. Dr.
+Parker says in the <cite>Christian Union</cite>: ‘Fermented liquor is
+the work of God; distilled liquor is the work of man or the
+devil or both.’ ‘It is the still that does the harm. It is
+the still that takes the alcohol out of its proper place in a
+liquid where it is not ordinarily found in a larger proportion
+than six or seven per cent., and where it rarely intoxicates,
+and never if taken in moderate quantities, and concentrates
+it in a substance that is a deadly poison. Take
+away the still and we should have peace and plenty on
+earth. We could then leave the vinous liquors alone. I
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_95">[95]</span>would compromise with all my heart on that ground, and I
+would go to work and preach just as old Solomon did:
+Don’t use too much.’ If with such men as Crosby and
+Hammond and Parker you believe beer should be distinguished
+from whisky, then go and raise your hops; pick
+them clean and get clean money. Take your glass of beer
+like an honest man when you feel it will do you good.
+Let it alone like an honest man when you think it will do
+you harm, just as you would a cup of coffee when you were
+bilious. Sign no pledges, nor encourage your children to
+sign them, except those against distilled liquors. Encourage
+no temperance movement that does not move in the
+right direction—against whisky and in favor of beer as a
+temperance drink; a drink that is killing out whisky faster
+than whisky killed Ireland, a drink that will build up the
+American constitution as it has built up the German.”</p>
+

+great variety of wines, spirits, malt and fermented liquors,

+Prof. A. B. Prescott, Dr. Andrew Ure, William Ripley
+Nichols, professor at the Technological Institute of Massachusetts,
+and other chemists of well known reputation.</p>

+<p>In this table the term extract includes all the substances
+left when the alcohol and water are removed by evaporation.</p>
+
+<p>In view of the figures above given and of the fact that
+the lighter beers form the bulk of the malt liquor consumed
+in the country, we are safe in assuming an average alcoholic
+strength of not more than 5½ per cent. for the total
+product. This product we have already seen to be 9,473,361
+barrels, which, on the basis just assumed, yields 521,034
+barrels or 16,673,088 gallons of alcohol. Now according
+to statistics from the department at Washington the
+consumption of native spirits was in 1878 over 70,000,000
+gallons containing about 37,000,000 gallons of alcohol.
+The cost of the native and foreign ardent spirits, wines and
+liquors used in one year reaches $500,000,000, and it is
+among the drinkers of spirits that we find most of the pauperism
+and crime of the country. Those who drink beer
+use something that as far as alcohol is concerned is more
+expensive than distilled liquors and yet spend less than
+$120,000,000, as against the $500,000,000 above mentioned.
+It should be noticed that while rum, gin, brandy,
+whisky, etc., contain over 50 per cent. of alcohol, ales
+never reach nine per cent., and lager beer seldom reaches
+six per cent. and is often below four.</p>
+
+<p>An examination of these tables taken in connection with
+the other facts mentioned should be sufficient to give a
+general idea of the nature and extent of the claims to be
+made in favor of beer as a common beverage. Others will
+come to light in the course of our discussion, and particularly
+in the chapter entitled, “What Authorities Say,” in
+which are embodied the conclusions of some of the most
+noted scientific investigators of our time.</p>

+<span class="chapt_sub">BEER BREWING A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.</span></h2>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>Thus far we have been chiefly occupied with the sanitary
+and social advantages that attend the general use of beer
+in a community, but there is another phase of the question
+that is worth careful attention. Barley and hops are the
+foundation of beer and we propose to show in this chapter
+some of the benefits that attend their cultivation for brewing
+purposes and which are by no means confined to the
+cash price received from the brewer. They can be raised
+to good advantage when there is no such home consumption,
+but the real possibilities of these crops are only attained
+when there are breweries near at hand. How this
+is true will be understood after an examination of the following
+statistics.</p>
+
+<p>The cultivation of hops is in itself a more important
+industry than is generally supposed, but for the purpose of
+this chapter it is of so much less consequence than that of
+barley that it may be dismissed in very few words. A few
+years ago our own production was not sufficient to supply
+the brewers, and in 1872 we paid in round numbers
+$785,525.00 to foreign growers. The next year the import
+was $1,310,627.00 and in 1874 reached $1,303,686.00.
+Since that time the tide has turned and each of the past
+four years has shown an export to a considerable amount,
+the figures taken in the order of the years being as follows:
+1875, $1,286,500.00; 1876, $1,348,521.00; 1877, $2,305,355.00;
+1878, $2,152,873.00. The yearly consumption in
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_102">[102]</span>this country is about 30,000,000 pounds, which after having
+served their purpose in the brewery, furnish an excellent
+manure, especially for potatoes.</p>
+
+<p>According to the last report of the United States Commissioner
+of Agriculture, there were in 1877, no less than
+1,614,654 acres under cultivation with barley, and the
+product was 34,441,400 bushels at an average value of 70
+cents a bushel, making a total value of $24,028,644.00 for
+the crop. The average yield to the acre was 21.3 bushels,
+and the average value to the acre $14.91, as against $10.72
+for hay, $9.54 for corn, $9.25 for oats, $8.87 for rye and
+$15.08 for wheat. Only three crops, potatoes, tobacco and
+wheat yielded a higher value to the acre, and only six,
+wheat, corn, potatoes, oats, hay and cotton had a greater
+total value. Again, the northern latitudes produce the
+best barley and accordingly we find that in the six Eastern
+States, the average value to the bushel was a little over 78
+cents. In these states the number of acres under cultivation
+was only 51,065, the product 986,900 bushels, the
+average value to the acre $15.11, being more than that of
+any other crop except potatoes. Notwithstanding all this,
+we do not even now raise enough for home consumption.
+The import of barley in 1877 was no less than 10,285,957
+bushels at a value of $7,887,886.00 on which a duty of 20
+cents per bushel was paid by the consumer, in addition to
+charges for freight and commission, all of which could and
+should have been saved to our people. Nearly eight million
+dollars is too large a sum to neglect when it lies at our very
+hand.</p>

+</figure>
+
+<p>We have said that high latitudes are favorable to barley.
+It is chiefly grown in the northern tier of states and in
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_103">[103]</span>Canada, and a state like Maine for instance would find immense
+advantage in an enlarged production of this crop
+even under existing conditions. But suppose the restriction
+on brewing were removed, that instead of being
+crushed out by local law it were encouraged and fostered.
+It is not easy to compute the material assistance such a
+course would be to the farming community and the state
+at large, and yet the direct gain would be small in comparison
+with the incidental advantages. For the proper illustration
+of this point we must ask the reader to follow and
+keep in mind two separate series of facts which we are
+about to present. The first statistical and relating to the
+“refuse” of brewing establishments, and the second
+general.</p>
+
+<p>The breweries of the United States use annually about
+30,000,000 bushels of malt, which yields, according to A.
+Schwarz of New York, 2½ per cent. or 750,000 bushels of
+“sprouts.” Now in estimating the comparative value of
+different kinds of fodder according to the albumen contained
+it is usual to take hay as the basis of comparison.
+Air-dried meadow hay contains 7 per cent. of albumen.
+“Sprouts” contain from 24 to 30 per cent., so that a hundred
+bushels of sprouts, weighing 1,200 pounds, are equal
+in value to 4,628 pounds of hay, and the annual product of
+sprouts as above stated to 34,710,000 pounds of hay. This
+same 30,000,000 bushels of malt yields at least 35,000,000
+bushels of “grains,” having a weight of 1,520,000,000
+pounds, and from 4 to 5 per cent. of albumen. Taking 4½
+per cent. as the average, 100 pounds of grains have the
+same nutritive value as 64 pounds of hay and the value of
+the product reaches that of 973,241,000 pounds of hay. It
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_104">[104]</span>is a proved fact that cattle fed on grains give better milk
+than when any other fodder is used and this fact is specially
+appreciated in New York and New Jersey, where the
+grains and sprouts are largely used with most excellent results.
+These products must by no means be confounded
+with the “slops” from distilleries, which is utterly different
+in character—<em>as indeed every product of the still seems
+to be tainted with some portion of the curse that has always
+clung to spirituous liquors</em>.</p>
+
+<p>The second and general consideration is this: The past
+agricultural history of New England shows a succession of
+specialties, each running its course until the advent of
+another which existing circumstances made more profitable.
+The first was grain (except barley), then came
+wool, and then potatoes, while the last and most promising
+is dairy farming. It is yet in its infancy but it is already
+important. One thing is sure, that farming on the old-fashioned
+plan has seen its day in New England. The
+natural advantages of the West enable it to raise and deliver
+many crops cheaper than they can be grown in the
+older part of the country, and under the influence of this
+competition Eastern farmers have grown poorer and
+poorer unless they have taken up a specialty or possessed
+some unusual natural advantages. We submit that the
+combination of dairy farming with the growth of barley
+will, even under the existing laws, prove very remunerative.
+The facts already adduced point directly to this conclusion.
+The figures show that barley is a profitable crop
+and that northern New England is well adapted to its
+growth. Moreover it thrives on a comparatively poor soil
+while most of the other natural products that rank high in
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_105">[105]</span>value involve a large expense for manure, and in many
+cases a great deal of hand labor. Dairy farms are known to
+pay well. What then will be the result of combining the
+two industries as above indicated on terms favorable to
+both? But this can only be successfully done by the establishment
+of breweries, and sooner or later the people will
+understand all these facts and act accordingly. <em>Remove the
+laws that now make brewing impossible, and a new industry
+will spring up as if by magic</em>—we might well say three new
+industries—for barley culture and dairies will grow to keep
+pace with the demands and the grants of brewing. For it
+must be remembered that brewing is not like some other
+forms of manufacture. What it takes with one hand it gives
+with the other. It receives the farmer’s grain and pays
+him a good price; it gives him valuable fodder and manure
+for a sum that is small in proportion to the benefit conferred.
+It helps put in motion the wheels of another separate
+business, the manufacture of cheese and butter, and
+it is again the agricultural community who profit by the
+development.</p>
+
+<p> <i>Living in an age of progress we must recognize the fact
+and adapt ourselves to it or we shall inevitably fall behind,
+and we do not believe that the men of New England will long
+close their eyes to the advantages offered by such a course as
+has been indicated. The change must come, and sooner or
+later, a part of the change must be the resolute and successful
+demand for a repeal of the laws that choke industry. Maine
+men in especial have everything to gain. Their business is
+stagnant, their population decreasing, poverty staring them
+in the face and enforced idleness eating like a canker into
+their very nature. They have it in their power to change all
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_106">[106]</span>this, to become rich, revive trade, make the state famous for
+progressive energy, and banish the intemperance that now
+accompanies and aggravates all their other ills and is accompanied
+by the other corrupting evils that, as experience shows,
+always spring up in the shadow of a prohibitory law.</i> The
+matter well deserves more space than we can give, but we
+have presented the leading facts and must leave them for
+the examination and mature reflection of all who are interested.
+Great things have been expected of beet-root culture
+in Maine and other states, and we cannot close this
+chapter without a word in reference to this topic. The
+Commissioner of Agriculture, in the prefatory remarks to
+his last Report, says: “The effort to produce a sugar beet,
+and the belief and expectation of many that the beet
+would be made to yield in this country as in Germany and
+France, of good quality, in sufficient abundance, and at a
+sufficiently low cost, to make it pay has not been realized—although
+no pains and money have been spared to insure
+success.” The difficulty is that the sugar beet will not
+thrive on poor or exhausted soil, unless it is heavily manured.
+Such has been the constant experience in those
+places where the experiment has received most attention,
+ <i>viz.</i>, Chatsworth, Ill., Sauk county, Wis., and some parts
+of the state of Maine.<a id="FNanchor_20" href="#Footnote_20" class="fnanchor">[20]</a> New England is unfit for beet-root
+culture, partly by nature and partly by the exhaustion of
+the soil, while on the other hand it is as we have said eminently
+adapted to barley. Even had the expectations of
+the more reasonable part of the beet-growers of Maine been
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_107">[107]</span>realized, the material advantages to the people would not
+have compared with those to be attained by the encouragement
+of breweries, the growth of barley and hops and the
+establishment of dairies. All these things go together and
+stimulate other branches of industry. There will be more
+demand for other crops, particularly hay and oats, and for
+lumber for vats, barrels, tubs and building purposes. A
+busy temperate people must thrive <em>and we have shown what
+will make them busy and temperate</em>.</p>
+
+<div class="footnotes"><div class="footnote">
+
+<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_20" href="#FNanchor_20" class="label">[20]</a> The state of Maine is assisting the experiment with beet-root by granting
+a premium of one cent a pound on all beet-root sugar produced in the state,
+but even with this help the industry has failed to establish itself to any considerable
+extent.</p>

+<span class="chapt_sub">PROHIBITORY LAWS AND THEIR EFFECTS.</span></h2>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>We have now reached a point at which we may properly
+recur to a topic already suggested and inquire a little more
+carefully into the actual working of the prohibitory laws.
+On this head we shall confine ourselves chiefly to the testimony
+of men who have made the matter a thorough study,
+and that not at a distance, but in the very midst of the operation
+of such laws, and as Maine is the state which led
+the way in the prohibitory movement and has since followed
+that course with most persistency, it is proper that it
+should occupy most of our attention during the inquiry.</p>
+
+<p>Not long ago a number of the most prominent men of
+the state, men of different political parties, wholly above
+reproach, and especially fitted by official position or private
+observation to form a just opinion in the premises, became
+so well convinced of the evils of the present system, and its
+detrimental effect on the people, as to unite in an effort for
+its amendment. Their movement took form in the presentation
+by Mr. Fox of Portland, a lawyer of high reputation
+and a member of the Legislature, of the following
+proposed Act:</p>
+
+
+<div class="blockquot">
+<p class="center">
+“<i>State of Maine, 1879.</i><br>
+</p>
+
+<p class="hang1">
+“An Act in relation to Cider, Native Wines, Ale, Porter, Lager
+Beer and Malt Liquors.</p>
+
+<p>“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in
+Legislature assembled, as follows:</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_109">[109]</span></p>
+<p>“Cider, Native Wine, Ale, Porter, Lager Beer and other Malt
+Liquors, when pure and unadulterated, shall not be considered
+intoxicating liquors within the meaning of the laws of this
+State.”</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>The bill was referred to the Committee on Temperance
+and able arguments in its favor were made by Gen. Gorham,
+L. Boynton, Hon. Nathan Webb and C. G. Yeaton,
+all men highly respected by the people of the state, of the
+strictest integrity, and with no inducement to make other
+than an impartial statement. Three gentlemen who have
+successively held the office of county attorney of Cumberland
+county for about fifteen years past and who are all
+Republicans, have unanimously testified against the present
+prohibition law. They are Gen. Chas. T. Matlock, C.
+F. Libby, Esq., and Nathan Webb. Similar views are
+held by such men as Gen. W. S. Tilton of Logan Springs,
+Judge Goddard, postmaster of Portland, M. P. Frank of
+Portland, Speaker of the House, Dr. Edw. Dana and many
+other influential citizens. No party, however, was willing
+to go to the people on this issue and the bill failed to pass,
+although there is good reason to hope that when the next
+attempt is made some who have previously upheld the
+present law will have learned to take a different view.
+Much new light is constantly thrown on the influence of
+the present statute, and can hardly fail to produce an adequate
+effect. A minority report of the committee was presented
+and contains so much of interest and importance
+that we cannot do better than to reproduce it in these
+pages. Its statements are those of men who understand
+the subject of which they treat and are worth a careful
+reading.</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_110">[110]</span></p>
+
+<h3>REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE, OF THE
+FIFTY-EIGHTH LEGISLATURE OF MAINE, 1879.</h3>
+<div class="blockquot">
+<p>“The Committee on Temperance have listened to the
+able and exhaustive arguments presented on both sides of
+the matter in hearing, and the minority of said committee
+respectfully present their views in dissent from the report
+of the majority. The law regulating the sale of intoxicating
+liquors, commonly known as the prohibitory liquor law has
+had a trial of more than a quarter of a century. Its severity
+has no parallel in the laws of any other civilized country.
+Although enforced with all the power of the state, court
+records show that the number of prosecutions and convictions
+is increasing, at great expense to the tax payers.
+Country towns pay their share for the enforcement of this
+law in cities without corresponding benefit to themselves.
+The cost of its execution is a burden on an over-taxed
+people. A detailed statement which is hereto annexed
+shows the cost for officers to enforce the law.”</p>
+
+<p>The details are here omitted but “the total reaches the
+enormous amount of $220,000. The records of the Insane
+Hospital show a gradual increase of patients caused by excessive
+use of intoxicating liquors. At the present time
+that institution has nearly double the number of inmates
+from that cause alone, which it had when the present prohibitory
+law was enacted. While the law, with singular
+inconsistency, does not recognize pure and beneficial kinds
+of intoxicating liquors as property when intended for sale
+by other than city or town agencies, and makes no distinction
+between the sale of adulterated liquors and pure
+liquors, it authorizes their indiscriminate sale in numerous
+city and town agencies. Liquor-drinking is not done
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_111">[111]</span>openly to so great an extent but the consumption is as
+large. It is notorious that quantities of strong liquors have
+for years been transported into the state from the Provinces,
+and especially from Massachusetts, which has
+drained us of millions of dollars which might have been
+kept at home under liberal laws. Liquor runners from
+New York and Boston penetrate every nook and corner of
+our state to rob our people and eat out their substance.
+Liquors are also imported in bond, and under the protection
+of the Federal Government they cannot be seized in bulk.
+They are consumed in families and in club-rooms which have
+been organized in large towns and cities, under that most
+dangerous guise of social drinking. The liquor agencies
+authorized by law have vended in some years more than a
+hundred thousand dollars worth of liquors for medicinal,
+mechanical and manufacturing purposes only, as is supposed.
+We consider these liquor agencies as leeches upon
+the people. The question is whether a law, the severity of
+which is without example, having failed to accomplish the
+ends for which it was designed, according to experience
+and the testimony of officials serving under it, who with
+singular unanimity give their verdict against it, ought to be
+so amended that cider, native wines, ale, porter and particularly
+lager beer, shall not be considered within the
+meaning of the statute.</p>
+
+<p>“History shows that every nation has its peculiar stimulants
+in stronger or milder forms. Men crave stimulant.
+It is an undeniable fact, both in the light of history and experience,
+that in countries like Germany, France, etc.,
+whose climate is not unlike ours, drunkenness is known
+scarcely more than the strong liquors which cause it.
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_112">[112]</span>Cheap light wines and nutritious malt beverages supersede
+strong drink. Everybody uses them at his meals and as a
+common beverage. The people of those countries are
+among the healthiest, happiest, most prosperous and temperate
+on the face of the globe. We appeal to the wisdom
+of this Legislature and the consideration of the people
+whether it would not promote the cause of temperance and
+the material welfare of our state to give the amendment
+proposed a fair trial. It would tend to promote harmony
+by removing an irritating and festering sore from our politics.
+Good citizens without distinctions of party view
+with alarm the inroads that this law in its operation is
+working upon our social and material interest, driving
+away business, depreciating real estate, shackling enterprise,
+cheating labor, increasing taxes, educating intolerance
+and hypocrisy, influencing elections and encouraging
+bribery and perjury and the clandestine compounding, sale
+and use of poisonous liquors.”</p>

+
+<p>Again, Governor Garcelon is not a man to make hasty
+or unfounded statements in an important matter and he
+has been for many years an eminent physician of large
+practice and a close observer of the habits of the people.
+But read this summary of an address delivered by him before
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_113">[113]</span>the Maine temperance convention: “He called attention
+to various kinds of intemperance, which have generally
+escaped the notice of reformers in that state. He
+spoke of the use of tobacco as an increasing evil, especially
+among the young, and said that in addition to chewing and
+smoking, snuff-dipping was becoming prevalent, a fact of
+which many are ignorant and which excites surprise. The
+use of opiates, Governor Garcelon remarked, had increased
+to an alarming extent. Many a man, he said, had appeared
+upon the stand advocating temperance, who had in
+his pocket a bottle of laudanum or black drops, which pave
+the way to an early grave. The ladies carry chloroform
+and ether to moisten the handkerchief with which to allay
+nervous excitement. As a practicing physician and observer
+of human nature, he placed all these forms of intemperance
+in the same category with the intemperate use of
+spirituous liquors, all of which demand correction. Is the
+change from the intoxicating liquors to opium an improvement?
+Governor Garcelon has, undoubtedly, done the
+people a timely service by directing attention to this and
+other evils, and if followed up it will be found that the
+‘Maine Law’ has not been the grand instrument of reform
+which it is claimed to be.”</p>
+
+<p>At a convention held at Bangor, Me., July 1, 1879, a
+resolution in favor of local option was presented by Mr.
+Charles F. Swett, a considerable part of whose speech is
+here reproduced, as it deals in facts of great importance to
+the present discussion:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot">
+<p>“In supporting this measure, I wish to distinctly define
+my position. I am a practical temperance man; a total
+abstainer. I have belonged, and do now belong, to every
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_114">[114]</span>temperance organization in the state of Maine, except the
+Reform Club. I have had much experience in endeavoring
+to ‘reclaim the fallen and save others from falling,’
+and I therefore claim to be as conversant with the practical
+workings of our prohibitory law as any man in this hall,
+and I declare, from my experience, that that law, so far as
+it contributes to lessening the evils of intemperance, is a
+complete failure, and a costly one to the people of this
+state. * * * In Cumberland county there are
+four deputy sheriffs, whose business it is to enforce the
+liquor law. These men get from $7,000 to $9,000 per
+year for their services. Of course they never reform a
+drunkard, but they can afford to contribute $3,000 a year
+towards the campaign fund—and they do—and the people
+furnish the money. Every liquor-seller thrown into jail for
+sixty days pays the high sheriff a profit of $1.50 per week.
+When there is an average of say fifty of these cases his
+profits will be $4,000 per year, from this source alone.
+The people furnish the money, and the sheriff ‘comes
+down handsomely’ for the campaign fund. True, there
+are no men reformed, but the party gets the ‘sinews of
+war.’ And so it is all over the state.</p>
+
+<p>“The cost of the execution of the prohibitory law is a
+burden upon our over-taxed people. The report of the
+temperance committee of our last Legislature showed that
+although the ‘law was enforced with all the power of the
+state,’ court records prove that the number of prosecutions
+is annually increasing, at great expense to the tax payers.
+From June 1, 1877, to June 1, 1878, the cost of enforcing
+the prohibitory law, in Cumberland county alone, reached
+$28,000. In the same ratio, applied to the population of
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_115">[115]</span>the whole state, the cost reaches the enormous sum of
+$220,000, annually. But we would not complain of the
+expenditure even of this vast sum if the results were, in
+any degree satisfactory. But they are not. The advocates
+of the Maine law make bold claims, but their claims
+are not substantiated by the facts. Outside of Maine, and
+even in the back towns of this state, remote from the cities,
+people are given to understand that liquor is not sold
+in Maine, and therefore there is less crime here than formerly.
+Neal Dow says, ‘We have little crime here
+because we have banished its cause.’ Let us look at the
+facts. In 1851, there were 87 convicts in the state prison.
+We had then a population of 584,000, while to-day it is
+probably 625,000. Last year’s state prison report shows
+the number of convicts to be 206, while 69 more were
+serving in jail work-shops. So the number of convicts has
+increased, <em>under the prohibitory law</em>, over threefold, while
+our population has remained comparatively the same. Does
+that speak well for prohibition? Now, take the city of
+Portland. In 1856, there were 650 arrests for drunkenness,
+in a population of 27,000. In 1876, twenty years
+later, with a population of about 30,000, there were 1800
+arrests for drunkenness, and in no year of the last eight
+has the list fallen below 1,200. And this under a vigorous
+enforcement of the prohibitory law. Does that speak well
+for prohibition? During last week, over 200 barrels of
+liquor were brought into Portland, by the various railroads
+and steamboats, <em>for home consumption</em>. Does that speak
+well for prohibition?</p>
+
+<p>“The secret drinking in club-rooms in Portland is threefold
+that which formerly took place at open bars, while the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_116">[116]</span>traffic outside has been driven into worse and worse hands
+every year, until it has, with a few exceptions, been taken
+away from respectable men, whose interest it would be to
+conduct it with some show of decency, and given into the
+undivided management and control of the low and criminal,
+so that while ‘the law is enforced with all the power of
+the state,’ the upper classes get drunk at the club-rooms,
+and the lower classes get drunk at the shops in the slums.
+Does that speak well for prohibition? The vilest liquors
+possible to make are manufactured for the market in this
+state, and even our state liquor agent could not, or did not,
+ <i>keep pure</i> liquors even for medicinal purposes.</p>
+
+<p>“Private club-rooms have multiplied in Portland, under
+the operation of the prohibitory law, (there being over 80
+in that city at the present time,) and our young men just
+starting out in life are exposed to all the dangers of the
+drunkard’s life, and no law can stop them. In these club-rooms,
+boys who would never go to saloons to get drunk,
+who would never learn to gamble were it not for their
+club-room temptations, who would, in short, grow up honest
+and respected citizens, are being ruined every day.
+This evil ought to be remedied by prompt and decisive
+action. Fathers who love their sons; mothers who pray
+for their boys; sisters who mourn over their disgraced
+brothers; wives who weep over the wreck of what
+were once good men and true husbands; citizens who
+care for the good name and prosperity of their communities,
+ought to labor to shut these accursed gates of hell!
+Let us commence the good work by striving to repeal
+the prohibitory law, which is a positive detriment to the
+cause of temperance, an incubus upon the mercantile
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_117">[117]</span>interests of Maine, and a curse to the young men of our
+cities.”</p>
+</div>
+<p>In Massachusetts we have very important testimony to
+the same effect, a part of which is very ably and carefully
+summarized in an article which we insert here, retaining
+for convenience a portion at the beginning which might
+equally well be placed under a different heading:</p>
+<div class="blockquot">
+<p>“The state Board of Health of Massachusetts, in the
+Tenth Annual Report, published in January, 1879, say, under
+the head of ‘Intemperance’: ‘A more severe public
+judgment of drunkenness, in recent times, has undoubtedly
+tended to very much decrease its prevalence; and it is
+generally believed that light German beer is used more
+and more each year, at least in our state, to the exclusion
+of stronger liquors—<i>a change which it is of course desirable
+to hasten by legislation, so far as that can be done, either by
+removal of restrictions on the sale of mild liquors, and heavily
+taxing the stronger spirits, or by any other just and proper
+means</i>.’ This is the reiterated public expression of men to
+whom the state of Massachusetts has committed the general
+care for the health of her people. For the former
+public utterance of this opinion the chairman of the Board,
+for years past, has been most bitterly assailed by prohibitionists;
+but, undaunted by these intemperate and abusive
+attacks, the state Board of Health confirm the statement of
+their honest conviction by repeating the same, and embodying
+it in an important public document.</p>
+
+<p>“In harmony with this public expression of opinion by
+the state Board of Health, appears the action of the Committee
+on License of the Board of Aldermen of the city of
+Boston. In their report of September, 1878, to the City
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_118">[118]</span>Council, this committee say: ‘It may be objected that the
+committee have been too liberal in their recommendations
+of the issue of licenses, but their experience has convinced
+them that the “lunch rooms,” established chiefly
+for the sale of lager beer and edible refreshments, ought to
+be regarded as victualing saloons, even if facilities are not
+maintained for regular meals, and no cooking is done on
+the premises. The committee feel satisfied that the consumption
+of lager beer, now so general, tends, in fact, to
+exclude from sale and use more ardent spirits, and thereby
+diminishes crime and pauperism. It is well known that in
+the old countries, where beer and light wines are accessible,
+without restraint, at a small expense, and are freely used
+by all classes of people, cases of intoxication are very rare.
+The committee are confident that drunkenness, and consequently
+pauperism and crime, will be diminished in this
+state, if no restrictions were placed on the sale of lager
+beer, for it then could be provided at such a low price as
+to effectually supersede the use of strong liquors. They
+therefore submit for the consideration of the City Council
+the following order:</p>
+
+<p>“‘<i>Ordered</i>, That his Honor the Mayor be requested to
+petition the next Legislature for such amendment of <ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note&mdash;original text: chaptar" id="chaptar">chapter</ins>
+99 of the statutes of 1875 as will allow the sale of cider
+and lager beer without any license being required therefor.’</p>
+
+<p>“It must be admitted, that in the state of Massachusetts,
+the liquor question has been as fully discussed, and the
+various legal expedients connected therewith have had as
+fair and full a trial as in any other state in the Union. It
+may therefore be claimed, without presumption, that to the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_119">[119]</span>results there attained, and the opinions there formed, when
+coming from official and authentic sources, the careful consideration
+of other state governments should be given.
+Acting from this view, we draw the attention of the reader
+to a very instructive report of the results of an investigation
+relative to drunkenness and liquor selling under prohibition
+and license legislation contained in the Tenth
+Annual Report of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of
+Labor, issued as a public document in January, 1879. This
+investigation was undertaken at the special request of Governor
+Rice, whose object was to place on record a statement,
+as a basis for an intelligent consideration of the
+question, of as reliable a character as could be secured by
+impartial statistics. These statistics are drawn from official
+sources, and, as far as the figures are concerned, are
+thoroughly reliable.</p>
+
+<p>“The years 1874 and 1877 were selected for comparison,
+because 1874 represented the last full year under the operation
+of the prohibitory law, and 1877 the last full year
+under the license law. The advantages resulting from this
+selection of years, if any, are on the side of the prohibitory
+law, because that law, in 1874, had been in operation for
+a number of years, while the license law, in 1877, had only
+been in force a year and a half.</p>
+
+<p>“Four circulars were prepared and addressed by the
+chief of the state Bureau of Statistics and Labor to town
+clerks, city clerks, chiefs of police, to standing justices,
+clerks of district, municipal and police courts, and trial justices.
+These circulars solicited information regarding the
+sales of liquor, prosecutions therefor, and arrests and convictions
+for drunkenness for the prohibitory year 1874 and
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_120">[120]</span>the license year 1877. The completeness of the investigation
+may be seen from the following statement:</p>
+
+<p>“Circular ‘A’ was sent to 325 Town Clerks; 322 answered.</p>
+
+<p>“Circular ‘B’ was sent to 19 City Clerks; 19 answered.</p>
+
+<p>“Circular ‘C’ was sent to 19 Chiefs of Police; 19 answered.</p>
+
+<p>“Circular ‘D’ was sent to 132 Court and Trial Justices;
+130 answered.</p>
+
+<p>“This is a total of 490 returns of 495 circulars of inquiry
+sent out. There can be no question that the investigation
+was exhaustive, for the few towns which did not
+answer are unimportant places. From the information
+thus obtained and tabulated in detail in the Report, the following
+totals are derived:</p>

+<p>“It will thus be seen that the number of arrests for
+drunkenness under the operation of the license law, during
+the year 1877, as compared to the prohibitory year 1874,
+shows a decrease of fully twenty-five per cent. In the
+number of convictions for drunkenness the difference in
+favor of the license year is at the same rate. The number
+of places where liquor was <em>illegally</em> sold under the prohibitory
+law of 1874, was larger by 336 than the number of
+places <em>licensed</em> in 1877. It is evident from these returns
+that the prohibitory law has failed to prohibit, or even to
+regulate, the sale of liquor, while it is equally apparent
+that the license law, as a legislative measure, not only regulates
+the sale of liquor, but decreases drunkenness.</p>
+
+<p>“A law, to be effective, must have the support of the
+people; the prohibitory law will never be thus supported,
+as common sense will teach that it is neither just nor judicious,
+to make somebody else than the drunkard himself
+responsible for his failing; and is not just this the questionable
+theory upon which prohibition is based?</p>
+
+<p>“The prohibitionists condemn the use of alcoholic beverages
+of every kind, as the prolific source of sin and vice.
+Nothing less than total abstinence finds favor with them.
+To them, the terms use and abuse have no distinctive
+meaning, and their curse falls upon brewery and distillery
+alike. It must be admitted that as long as alcoholic stimulants
+are used, intemperance will exist, and that the evil
+of drunkenness will only disappear with their total suppression.
+In view of the actual state of social habits, and
+the position which alcoholic beverages hold in civilized life,
+as now constituted, no sane person will believe such a total
+suppression possible. There are no means by which a
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_122">[122]</span>habit, transmitted from generation to generation, and forming
+so important an element in the development of the civilization
+of the human race, can be uprooted. Alcoholic
+stimulants once invented are never again abandoned, and
+seem to be destined to co-exist with man. The deplorable
+vice of drunkenness has always accompanied their use,
+and all attempts of rulers and philanthropists, the severest
+penalties and the sincerest compassion, have alike failed to
+suppress the evil. But it does not follow that, because the
+temptation of excessive use is too strong for some to be resisted,
+the great mass of people, who can and do use these
+beverages in moderation, should be made responsible for
+the weakness of the few. Nor does it follow that the intensity
+of the temptation is to be regarded as an excuse for
+the drunkard. Excess in the gratification of a desire, however
+natural, to the injury of others, is to be condemned
+morally and legally. Many actions of man, which the
+moral and legal code of society brands as a crime, and punishes
+as such, are the result of an inordinate gratification of
+instinctive desires implanted by nature, upon the proper
+indulgence of which the very propagation and the happiness
+of the human race depends, as for example, the instinct
+of self-preservation, of procreation and of acquisition.
+The more civilization advances, the more moral and intellectual
+discernment governs natural impulse, the less excess
+in the use of alcoholic stimulants the world will see.
+The vice of intemperance prevails to a far greater extent
+among the ignorant and uneducated than among the cultured
+classes of society. The spread of culture and education
+will do far more for temperance than the indiscriminate
+prohibition of the sale of alcoholic stimulants and the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_123">[123]</span>signing of pledges; it will divest the indulgence of the
+social cup of vulgarity, and will punish immoderation by
+social ostracism; by giving to the pleasure of exhilaration
+an ideal character, it will make the vine and the hop the
+emblems of harmless enjoyment. A clearer perception
+thus establishes a standard of ethics, which recognizes a
+proper gratification of the innate craving for enjoyment
+and exhilaration, as an essential to human happiness, but
+draws the line between what is permissible and what is not,
+between the becoming and the unbecoming. The craving
+for improvement of condition and for enjoyment is strongly
+developed in man—happily for him, for it is the very spur
+that urges him on to the physical improvement which is
+the necessary concomitant of mental advance. The love
+for exhilarating stimulants is but one phase of this craving.
+As such it is entitled to and has found recognition in our
+social laws, and the temperate use of alcoholic beverages
+is sanctioned by a practice as wide-spread as civilization
+itself, and by all classes, whatever their station or condition
+in life. Contravening legal statutes will always be found
+either wholly inoperative, or to fall far short of the intended
+effect. Whenever and wherever the temporary enforcement
+of a law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of
+such beverages has taken place, the cure, as far as the suppression
+of stimulants is concerned, has generally proved
+worse than the disease.”</p>

+<p>The following particulars, taken from the report under
+the title of “Nativity of Prisoners,” given by the Chief of
+the Police of Boston, become very interesting when considered
+in reference to the usual drink of the classes mentioned.
+The table shows first the number in Boston of
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_124">[124]</span>Irish and Germans, the number of prisoners of each nation

+</table>
+
+
+<p>Similar general results are found more or less marked
+wherever such laws are in force. Druggists tell us that as
+a rule the consumption of opium in various forms from paregoric
+to laudanum has increased, bitters are more extensively
+used and in some places Scotch snuff for “dipping”
+has come into demand. The amount of opium annually
+imported is greater than that received by China a hundred
+years ago, and there is reason to suppose that many who
+are called reformed drunkards have adopted opium in some
+form and thus given themselves to a new bondage no whit
+better than the old. Notice that the increase in the sale of
+opium keeps pace in a very fair measure with the enforcement
+of prohibitory laws. One dealer in drugs in Hartford,
+Conn., recently advertised for sale five thousand
+pounds of opium, certainly a good dose for the land of
+steady habits. In the state just mentioned both prohibition
+and “local option” laws have been tried and neither
+can be considered a success. Under the present “local option”
+many towns wholly forbid the sale of spirituous and
+malt liquors, and this fact has given great prominence to
+suits arising out of the sale of what is called Schenck beer,
+which is substantially lager beer. The courts at last
+decided that this article is not intoxicating within the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_125">[125]</span>meaning of the act, and though the decision as to intoxicating
+quality is just, the fact that this beer is allowed
+while lager beer under its own name is forbidden shows
+how great a part prejudice instead of reason has played in
+the contest. “Peripatetic gin mills” are increasing in
+about the same ratio as “temperance societies” and “temperance
+detectives.” Those who pass by the name of temperance
+reformers seem in many cases to lose the sense of
+human charity and brotherly kindness, and little else can be
+expected when we remember how often they are the slaves
+of this single idea and how in all ages of the world bigotry
+has been attended by cruelty. Before giving one striking
+instance of cruelty which it is to be hoped has since been
+sincerely regretted by all concerned, we must reiterate that
+any law which every one knows to be constantly violated
+brings law into disrespect and demoralizes the community
+so far forth. The case to which reference was just made
+was mentioned in the New York <cite>World</cite>, and although other
+matters are added the whole is of sufficient interest to bear
+reproduction. The article is as follows:</p>
+
+<p>“Some time last September an old lady by the name of
+Stack who kept a farm at Northfield, Vt., sold two glasses
+of cider to a man by the name of Timothy Hogan, who informed
+against her and secured her conviction and a fine of
+$20 and expenses. In consideration of her age, sickness and
+poverty, she was allowed a short time to pay her fine, but
+not being prepared with the cash in January, she was arrested
+by Deputy Sheriff Avery, and, notwithstanding the
+severity of the weather, hauled off to prison in an open
+sleigh to Montpelier insufficiently clad. While in confinement
+sickness and poor treatment combined caused a rapid
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_126">[126]</span>decline, until her niece, a domestic in a hotel, borrowed
+sufficient money to pay her fine and effect her release.
+Her death followed shortly afterward, caused, no doubt, by
+the treatment she had received. This at the hand and in
+the cause of philanthropic reformers is bad enough, but
+worse remains. Here is a temperance man’s description of
+the system by which these reformers are guided, and which
+one of our conscientious judges in Connecticut not long
+since truly denounced as infamous. The state referred to
+is the state of the ‘Green Mountain Boys,’ and noble
+Ethan Allen—Vermont. The manner of prosecuting
+liquor cases is by what is known as the ‘spy system.’
+Every informer who can secure the conviction of any
+person receives a portion of the fine imposed. A respectable
+justice of the municipal court in one of the most important
+towns in the state is authority for the statement that
+there are certain justices of the peace who make a special
+arrangement with these informers and come in for a share
+of the profits, so that outside of the merits of the case conviction
+is a foregone conclusion every time. The prohibitory
+law in force in this state makes it a crime for a man to
+sell even a glass of cider. In the past few weeks the
+ <i>World</i> correspondent has visited Rutland, Burlington, St.
+Albans, Montpelier and other towns in the state, and found
+in every place that at the hotels and elsewhere liquor was
+sold and no questions asked. In this, as in every other
+state, where a similar law has been in force, people with
+money and influence can freely engage in the traffic with
+none to molest or make them afraid. The class of spies or
+informers who engage in the work of prosecuting liquor
+cases are the lowest people in the community. They are
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_127">[127]</span>despised by everybody except fanatical temperance reformers,
+who employ and encourage them. A prominent citizen,
+who has held high office in the state and is one of the
+substantial business men, said the other day: ‘The result
+of the prohibitory law has been to honey-comb the social
+community with hypocrisy and immorality. I have closely
+investigated the course of events since this “temperance
+wave” has swept the state, and while drunkenness is not
+on the decrease other forms of immorality are certainly on
+the increase. I would not permit my daughter, or any respectable
+young lady over whom I might have any influence,
+to even attend the evening meetings of these temperance
+societies, as I think it has been conclusively proved
+that they promote immorality.’ Such a statement coming
+from an influential and respected citizen, who himself practices
+and inculcates temperance principles, shows the tendency
+of the prohibitory movement in this state.”</p>
+
+<p>It would be an easy matter to collect volumes of evidence
+on this question of the real effect of prohibitory
+laws, all going to show that they do not prevent intemperance,
+that they do lead to the use of other stimulants, that
+they undermine the character of the community, and that,
+from whatever point of view regarded, they must be considered
+harmful to the individual and to the state. Enough,
+however, for our present purpose and for the space at command
+has been already said. Those best informed will be
+most ready to say that the presentation above given does
+not overstate, but rather falls short of displaying the corruption
+that creeps in where a prohibitory law is in force.</p>

+
+
+<p>What shall we do to prevent the evils of a too free use
+of intoxicating drinks, and to make our people truly temperate?</p>
+
+<p>This question was ably discussed in the State Board of
+Health of Massachusetts some years ago, and Dr. Bowditch,
+the chairman of the board, expressed himself at that
+time as follows: “I am confident that our people could
+be gradually led to a higher temperance by appeals to common
+sense while deprecating the evils of intemperance, by
+observing that the use of some liquors is deleterious, while
+the temperate use of others does little or no harm. I deem
+a love of stimulants as much a human instinct as any other
+of the so-called human instincts. And the proposition of
+total abstinence from stimulants because intoxication prevails
+widely in the community, seems to me as preposterous
+as it would be to advise universal celibacy because of the
+existence of gross evils in connection with those instincts
+that lead to the divine institution of marriage. By classifying
+all liquors as equally injurious, and by endeavoring to
+further that idea in the community, are we not doing a real
+injury to the country by preventing a free use of lager beer
+instead of ardent spirits to which our people are so addicted?
+In the sincere belief, gentlemen, that this analysis
+of our correspondence will, eventually at least, tend to help
+onward the most excellent cause of temperance everywhere,
+and in the hope that none will be offended at the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_129">[129]</span>expression at times, of my own individual opinion, which
+in the course of the discussion I have deemed it my right
+and duty to give, I remain</p>
+
+<p class="right">
+<span class="pad2r">Your colleague and friend,</span><br>
+<br>
+<span class="smcap">Henry J. Bowditch,</span><br>
+<br>
+ <i>Chairman of the State Board of Health of Massachusetts.</i>”<br>
+</p>
+
+<p>In his annual report to the State Board of Health, Dr.
+Bowditch said, speaking of the question of temperance in
+connection with the use of light wines and beer, “I fully
+agree with all that has been said of the value of light
+wines as an aid to temperance, but I sincerely believe that
+Germans are destined to be really the greatest benefactors
+of this country by bringing to us—if we choose to accept
+the boon—their beer. Lager beer contains less alcohol
+than any of the native or foreign grape wines. This fact
+with the other fact that the Germans have not the pernicious
+habits of our people, would if we chose to adopt their
+customs tend to diminish intemperance in this country.
+From the study I have made, lager beer can be used freely
+without any apparent injury to the individual, or without
+intoxication, and would be really a promoter of the temperance
+cause, and if we could so manage as to furnish the
+people with lager beer and dispense with distilled or alcoholic
+liquors entirely, the community would be immensely
+benefited.” And on page 301 in the same report, the Doctor
+properly said, “Whisky-drinkers are seen staggering
+through the streets or lying insensible in some corner,
+wherever this beverage is used. But among the light wine
+tipplers and beer-drinkers, even when drinking freely,
+drunkards are very seldom seen.”</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_130">[130]</span></p>
+<p>We have previously shown that in many cases the introduction
+of beer has added to the welfare of society, and
+that its use is perfectly consistent with habits of sobriety
+and temperance. From this we drew the inference that the
+production should be encouraged and its increase hailed as
+a sure pledge of improvement in the matters of drunkenness,
+disorder and crime. The same conclusion was reached
+by Dr. Bowditch as the result of correspondence conducted
+with a view to ascertaining fully the actual state of the
+case at home and abroad. He caused a series of inquiries
+to be carefully prepared and forwarded to thirty-three resident
+American ambassadors and to one hundred and thirty-two
+consuls, also to many other men in private or official
+positions, whose statements and opinions would be entitled
+to respect. When the answers were received the unanimity
+of the opinions expressed was almost startling. <em>All</em> are
+in favor of beer as a light, wholesome beverage, superior
+even to the light wines. Following are given a few extracts
+from the great mass of answers received:</p>
+
+<p>A physician in Massachusetts writes, “I should make a
+distinction between the use of intoxicating liquors and the
+lighter drinks. What a blessing it would be for the community
+if we could furnish the people with the best of
+lager beer and dispense with distilled liquors entirely.”</p>
+
+<p>Another physician, also resident in Massachusetts, says,
+“I have had a very large practice among the Germans for
+twenty years, and my observation has been that they are
+remarkably free from consumption and chronic diseases. I
+have attributed it to their free use of lager beer, and do
+conscientiously believe that the moderate use of this beverage
+is beneficial.”</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_131">[131]</span></p>
+<p>A letter from the consulate general of the United States
+at Frankfort-on-the-Main, reads thus: “Twenty years ago
+the state of affairs in reference to temperance was different.
+By the improvement in making beer and the selling of it to
+the people at large, at low prices, things have changed
+wonderfully. Drunkards have disappeared. A great deal
+less of cider and wine is consumed. Everybody now generally
+drinks beer. Intoxication has decreased. It cannot
+be said that the general health of the people suffers in this
+part of Germany. In the city of Frankfort, with a population
+of over one hundred thousand, and an average annual
+mortality of fifteen hundred, hardly five persons on an average
+have died of delirium tremens, which all the eminent,
+physicians here attribute to the free use of lager beer.”</p>
+
+<p>Mr. John Jay of the United States Legation at Vienna
+says: “I am advised by those in whose judgment I have full
+confidence, that the chief drinks in Austria are wine but
+particularly beer, the latter of which is drunk by all classes
+of society at home and at places of amusement, and that
+but comparatively a small amount of spirituous liquors is
+consumed except in Galicia. Touching the relative
+amount of intoxication in the country where I am residing,
+and that seen all over the United States, I do say that I
+have seen more intoxicated persons in the streets of New
+York in one day than I have chanced to see in Vienna
+during the past year.”</p>
+
+<p>Baron Liebig, the eminent chemist, makes the following
+statements: “Beer unites in its composition a number of
+constituents whose action is such as to more or less completely
+neutralize the alcohol whose tendency is to exalt
+the function of the brain and nervous system.”</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_132">[132]</span></p>
+<p>“Fermented juices, in general, differ from spirits in containing
+alkalies, organic acids and certain other substances.”</p>
+
+<p>“Pure lager beer when taken with lean flesh and little
+bread yields a diet approaching to milk, and with fat meat,
+approaching to rice or potatoes.” And in another place,
+“In beer-drinking countries, it is the universal medicine
+for the healthy as well as for the sick, and it is milk to the
+aged.”</p>
+
+<p>Dr. Schlaeger of Vienna, also a distinguished chemist,
+says:</p>
+
+<p>“It is my opinion, based on numerous cases that have
+come under my professional observation, that delirium tremens
+and other maladies to which inebriates are subject
+are caused chiefly by the use of <em>distilled liquors</em>. Therefore
+the manufacture and sale of beer should be encouraged.
+It should be free from taxation in order that it
+may be placed within the reach of all at a low price and
+thoroughly take the place of ardent spirits.”</p>
+
+<p>The editor of the Chicago <cite>Tribune</cite>, writing from Germany,
+says: “Drunkenness is so rare and infrequent that
+it may be said not to exist. I have traveled thousands of
+miles through Germany, in various directions, visiting
+nearly all the chief cities, and have made diligent inquiry
+of American consuls and other well-informed persons, and
+received but one answer everywhere, <i>viz.</i>, no drunkenness
+among the Germans; public sentiment would not tolerate
+it; the habits of the country are all against it. And what
+is the reason of this freedom from inebriation? It is the
+total absence of whisky and the substitution of lager beer.”</p>

+
+<p>Mr. Y. G. Hurd wrote to Mr. Bowditch in reference to
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_133">[133]</span>the beer question and after referring to the records of the
+Essex police court and alluding to intemperance caused by
+ardent spirits, continued as follows: “Of all our commitments
+60 per cent. are directly traceable to drunkenness.
+Is the enforcement of a prohibitory or any other law alone
+to rid us of the monster? Were there only the pecuniary
+interest of the liquor traffic to meet, powerful as it is, the
+result would not, be doubtful. But there are climatic influences,
+the universal desire for stimulants, the education of
+our civilization for some centuries, social customs and
+hereditary tendencies, all tending in a greater or less degree
+to perpetuate the evil. * * * * * A visit to Chicago
+and my observation there of the habits of the German
+population, first brought to my mind doubts that total abstinence
+will ever be an accomplished fact. I visited the
+beer gardens on Sunday to see how the Germans spend
+the day. There was a band of music, a dance floor, rude
+seats and tables like our New England picnics, in a beautiful
+grove, and lager in such quantities as I had never conceived.
+Everybody, old and young, drank and seemed to
+continue to drink during the afternoon. But lager was the
+only beverage. No liquors, no drunkenness and no fights
+or disorderly conduct. The young men and maidens were
+merry and danced, the elder drank and talked with the
+gravity and dignity becoming to respectable German citizens;
+the children sipped their glass of lager and gamboled
+on the grass, and all went home apparently sober, to resume
+without doubt, their usual avocations on the morrow.
+There were probably two thousand persons taking their
+weekly recreation, and this was only one of half a dozen
+similar places about the suburbs of the city. Now if this
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_134">[134]</span>had been an American or Irish congregation, and the beverage
+the usual vile concoctions called whisky, gin and
+brandy, would not the closing scenes of the afternoon have
+been very different? Broken heads, bloody noses, and the
+wayside strewn with the wrecks of humanity in beastly intoxication.
+I thought if we could be rid of the grosser liquors—banish
+them, put them in the pale of dangerous drugs
+to be only dispensed by the physician like other poisons,
+and substitute the lager of the Germans and the light wines
+of France and <em>our own country</em>—should we not be doing
+our best to exterminate the curse of drunkenness? I expect
+we shall yet come to this conclusion. The difficulty
+is that with the tastes of our people, lager and wines will
+be, indeed, now are, a cover for the sale of the grosser
+liquors, and worse than all, these liquors are without exception,
+adulterated or poisonous. I have written at your
+request this somewhat candid statement of my present
+views as briefly as possible.”</p>
+
+<p>A physician who has under his professional charge, a
+large institution for the maintenance of aged persons, informs
+us that the demand for stimulus in the form of tea is
+a matter of constant observation, and he moreover gives it
+as his opinion that from twenty to twenty-five per cent. of
+the whole number are <em>tea sots</em>, drinking tea regularly from
+four to six times a day and as much oftener as they can
+procure it. They show the effect of this over-stimulation
+by increased mental irritability, muscular tremors and a
+greater or less degree of sleeplessness. Another fact to the
+same purport has been communicated to us by a friend. A
+domestic in the family sometimes appeared intoxicated and
+as it was certain she could not get at any of the liquors generally
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_135">[135]</span>considered intoxicating, the circumstance excited no
+little surprise and curiosity. At last the problem was
+solved by the discovery that she drank large quantities of
+the strongest tea. This it will be seen is in exact conformity
+with the opinion of Mr. Gladstone as previously quoted,
+and more or less marked cases of the same nature have
+doubtless been observed by many of our readers.</p>
+
+<p>A. Schwarz, Esq., of New York, the editor of “Der
+Americanische Bierbrauer,” a man known in both hemispheres,
+as an able writer and chemical student, who by
+his life-long study in fermented beverages has won for himself
+the thanks of every brewer, writes thus: “Among all
+drinks, as well those which nature furnishes in abundance
+as those which are produced by human skill, lager beer
+especially commends itself by its properties as an excellent
+beverage.</p>
+
+<p>“Milk contains nutritious substances (protein) and various
+salts.</p>
+
+<p>“Wine contains alcohol and small quantities of salts.</p>
+
+<p>“Mineral waters, which render such valuable service to
+the diseased human organism, contain carbonic acid and
+salt.</p>
+
+<p>“Coffee and tea contain volatile aromatic oils and alkaloids.</p>
+
+<p>“Strong spirituous liquors, as whisky, brandy, rum, arrack
+and gin, contain only more or less alcohol, with some etherial
+oils.</p>
+
+<p>“The various popular so-called temperance drinks are distinguished
+only by their watery contents, which are flavored
+with sugar and extracts of plants and herbs to make
+them taste less insipid.</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_136">[136]</span></p>
+<p>“Beer contains protein, alcohol, salts and carbonic acid
+gas, and hence possesses nutritious, stimulating and refreshing
+properties.</p>
+
+<p>“It is not our intention to write a eulogy of beer. We
+will only state in its favor what cannot be denied by any
+man, be he a physician or a mechanic, a philosopher or a
+manufacturer, a chemist or an engineer, a wine-drinker or
+a temperance man.</p>
+
+<p>“We denote as extracts of beer those solid substances
+which are not, through the fermentation of the wort, transformed
+into volatile bodies, and therefore remain as a sediment
+after the evaporation of the beer. This extract consists
+of malt sugar obtained by the mashing process, of
+albumen contained in the malt and now dissolved, and of
+certain salts, especially phosphoric salt, which were originally
+contained in the barley, and have not been lost during
+the process of brewing.</p>
+
+<p>“The amount of the extract of beer mainly depends on
+the original concentration of the wort and on that state of
+fermentation in which the beer is consumed; it varies from
+three to eight per cent.</p>
+
+<p>“By virtue of its protein and its salts, it has a very nutritious
+effect upon the human organism, and though it does
+so in a less degree than meat or bread, yet on account of
+the form of solution in which it appears in the beer, it is
+easier assimilated, <i>i. e.</i>, it easily enters the organism and
+plays a prominent part in the formation of milk, muscle,
+flesh and bones,—and the quantity of alcohol contained in
+beer is so small and so much diluted with water, that it can
+produce intoxication only if consumed in a very great
+quantity, <i>i. e.</i>, by an immoderate use.”</p>
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_137">[137]</span></p>
+<p>An international congress has just been held in Paris on
+“Alcoholism,” and the Belgian delegate, Dr. Barella, constituted
+himself the champion of beer. He contended that
+the consumption of spirits should be discountenanced, because
+these beverages are harmful, and that the consumption
+of beer should be encouraged, because it is a sound,
+wholesome and harmless drink. He pointed out that in
+countries where the wines are good, and the beers agreeable
+and nutritive, much less spirits are consumed, and <i>vice
+versa</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Following is a summary of the points made in the report
+of Dr. Bowditch previously quoted. They will be found
+useful and interesting, and the whole document deserves
+the highest praise for thoroughness of investigation, caution
+of statement and fairness of spirit.</p>
+
+<p>1st. Stimulants are used everywhere, and at times
+abused, by savage and by civilized men. Consequently intoxication
+occurs all over the globe.</p>
+
+<p>2nd. This love of stimulants is one of the strongest instincts.
+It cannot be annihilated, but may be regulated by
+reason, by conscience, by education, or by law when it encroaches
+on the rights of others.</p>
+
+<p>3rd. Climatic law governs it, the tendency to indulge
+to intoxication being not only greater as we go from the
+heat of the equator towards the north, but the character of
+that intoxication becoming more violent.</p>
+
+<p>4th. Owing to this cosmic law intemperance is very
+rare near the equator. It is there a social crime and a disgrace
+of the deepest dye. Licentiousness and gambling are
+small offenses compared with it. To call a man a drunkard
+is the highest of insults. On the contrary at the north
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_138">[138]</span>of 50° it is very frequent, is less of a disgrace and is by no
+means a social crime.</p>
+
+<p>5th. Intemperance causes little or no crime toward the
+equator. It is an almost constant cause of crime either directly
+or indirectly at the north above 50°.</p>
+
+<p>6th. Intemperance is modified by race as shown in the
+different tendencies to intoxication of different people.</p>
+
+<p>7th. Races are modified physically and morally by the
+kind of liquor they use as proved by examination of the returns
+from Austria and Switzerland.</p>
+
+<p>8th. Beer, native light grape wines and ardent spirits
+should not be classed together, for they produce very different
+effects on the individual and upon the race.</p>
+
+<p>9th. German beer and ale can be used even freely without
+any very apparent injury to the individual, or without
+causing intoxication. They contain very small percentages
+of alcohol (4 or 4.5 to 6.50 per cent.). Light grape wines,
+unfortified by an extra amount of alcohol, can be drunk
+less freely but without apparent injury to the race, and
+with exhilaration rather than drunkenness. Some writers
+think they do no harm but a real good if used moderately.
+They never produce the violent crazy drunkenness, so noticeable
+from the use of the ardent spirits of the north.
+Ardent spirits, on the contrary, unless used very moderately,
+and with great temperance, and with the determination
+to omit them as soon as the occasion has passed for
+their use, are almost always injurious, if continued even
+moderately for any length of time, for they gradually encroach
+on the vital powers. If used immoderately they
+cause a beastly narcotism which makes the victim regardless
+of all the amenities and even the decencies of life, or perhaps
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_139">[139]</span>they render him furiously crazy, so that he may murder
+his best friend.</p>
+
+<p>10th. Races may be educated to evil by bad laws, or by
+the introduction of bad habits. France and a small part of
+Switzerland are beginning to suffer from the introduction
+of absinthe and other spirituous liquors. Especially is this
+noticeable since the late Franco-German war.</p>
+
+<p>11th. A race, when it emigrates, carries its habits with
+it. For a time at least, those habits may override all climatic
+law.</p>
+
+<p>12th. England has thus overshadowed our whole country
+with its love of strong drinks, and with its habits of intoxication,
+as it has more recently covered Ceylon, parts of
+the East and Australia.</p>
+
+<p>13th. This influence on our own country is greater now
+than it would have been if our forefathers, the early settlers,
+had cultivated the vine, which would have been practicable,
+as seen by the examples of Ohio and California,
+and from the fact that the whole of the United States lies
+in the region of the earth’s surface suited to the grape culture.</p>
+
+<p>14th. If these early settlers had done this our nation
+would probably have been more temperate, and a vast industry
+like that of France, of Spain and of Italy and Germany,
+in light native wines, would long ago have sprung
+up.</p>
+
+<p>15th. The example set by California and Ohio<a id="FNanchor_21" href="#Footnote_21" class="fnanchor">[21]</a> should
+be followed by the whole country, where the vine can be
+grown. As a temperance measure it behooves every good
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_140">[140]</span>citizen to promote that most desirable object. We should
+also allow the light, unfortified wines of Europe to be introduced
+free of duty instead of the large one now imposed.
+Instead of refusing the German lager beer, we should seek
+to have it introduced into the present “grog shops” and
+thus substitute a comparatively innoxious article for those
+potent liquors, which now bring disaster and death into so
+many families.</p>
+
+<div class="footnotes"><div class="footnote">
+
+<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_21" href="#FNanchor_21" class="label">[21]</a> Ohio has already made very great progress
+<span style="margin-left: 0.5em;">in this direction, and its wines</span><br>
+are lighter than those of California. [Author.]</p>
+
+</div></div>
+
+<p>16th. The moral sense of the community should be
+aroused to the enormity of the evils flowing from keeping
+an open bar for the sale of ardent spirits, while those for the
+sale of light wines and of lager beer or ale should not be
+opposed, except for the sale to habitual drunkards after due
+notice from friends. Sellers violating such law might be
+compelled to support for a time the family of their victim.</p>
+
+<p>17th. The horrid nature of drunkenness should be impressed
+by every means in our power upon the moral sense
+of the people. The habitual drunkard should be punished,
+or if he be a <em>dipsomaniac</em>, he should be placed in an inebriate
+asylum for medical and moral treatment, until he has
+gained sufficient self-respect to enable him to overcome his
+love of drink.</p>
+
+<p>We give next an extract from an article written by Dr.
+Willard Parker, which article was printed March 20th,
+1879, in the <cite>Religious Herald</cite>, a temperance paper published
+at Hartford, Conn. Dr. Parker says: “We have
+never had a single case of an inebriate in the asylum at
+Binghamton, (N. Y.,) who came here from using fermented
+beverages, he may have begun with them and gone
+on to other and stronger liquors, but the mere fermented
+beverages did not make an inebriate of him; * * * and
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_141">[141]</span>while men use simply fermented liquors with no more alcohol
+than comes from their fermentation, drunkenness is but
+little known.” He says also that fermentation is a process
+of nature which will continue to exist as long as there is
+sugar and starch. Fermentation is the work of omnipotence,
+not the work of man, it grows out of the very constitution
+of things and is as truly a divine process as
+growth itself.</p>
+
+<p>Professor Mulder of Amsterdam remarks in the preface
+to his “Chemistry of Beer,” page <span class="allsmcap">IV.</span>, “I dare say without
+exaggeration that we find united in beer all the wholesome
+substances that are met separately in the various carbonic
+acid mineral waters, in wine and in bread,” and in
+reference to the alcoholic property of beer he says, page
+461: “Many people are prejudicially influenced by the
+frequent misuse of alcoholic beverages and kept from reasoning
+honestly and truly as to their salubrious effects in a
+diluted form such as we find in beer. If we consider the
+beneficial effects of good beer on the system we cannot
+help attributing a share in the result to the alcoholic element,
+even if it be held that alcohol has in itself no nutritive
+power.” The same opinion is held by Prof. Pittenkofer,
+the renowned and well-deserving chemist and hygienist, on
+the strength of numerous observations and results of minute
+examination.</p>
+
+<p>Professor Stahlschmied formerly at Berlin and at present
+at the royal polytechnic school at Aix-la-Chapelle, says in
+his work “Chemistry in reference to Fermentation,” page
+255: “Up to the present time, experiments on the nourishing
+properties of beer have not been sufficiently numerous
+to furnish definite conclusions. It is not so much the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_142">[142]</span>small amount of organic extract that is to be considered as
+the ashes and phosphates which are here provided in a form
+easy of assimilation. In this respect beer is next to milk
+and furnishes an aliment that is directly bone producing.”
+It is well known that beer is very commonly taken by
+nursing women on account of its nourishing and milk-producing
+qualities and the fact furnishes evidence from
+experience to the same purport as the technical statement
+just quoted.</p>
+
+<p>The report of the Department of Agriculture at Washington
+as far back as the year 1866 speaks as follows:
+“The intemperate use of beer is like the intemperate use
+of anything detrimental to health, but a moderate use of
+pure beer will aid digestion, quicken the powers of life,
+and give elasticity to the body and mind and will not produce
+any of the terrible results named by fanatics and
+ignorant people. In certain forms of dyspepsia it is a valuable
+assistant to other remedies and in some cases of debility
+requiring a mild tonic and gentle stimulant beer has
+been found of the greatest benefit.”</p>
+
+<p>Touching the nutritious properties of beer as compared
+with the grain from which it is made Professor Mulder
+says: “The food value of beer as compared with grain is
+as one to fourteen, no account being made of the food
+value of the alcohol contained in beer. The albumen
+value of beer as compared with grain is as one to six, the
+fat as one to seventy and the chemical salts as one to
+twenty-five. On the whole, the latest and most trustworthy
+results of scientific investigation go to show that a
+well brewed beer, properly compounded with hops and
+well matured, is to be considered a beverage which has a
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_143">[143]</span>most beneficial influence on the transmutation of substances
+in the human body; if moderately taken.”</p>
+
+<p>Sir Henry Labouchere, editor of “Truth” and formerly
+member of Parliament for Windsor and Middlesex, an
+accomplished linguist, and fitted both as an original thinker
+and by experience in the diplomatic <i lang="fr"> corps</i> at most of the
+capitals of Europe, to form a just opinion, says that experience
+shows that beer is a most wholesome beverage, that
+when pure it is not intoxicating and can be drunk freely,
+that its use adds to the health and strength of man, that
+intoxication hardly exists where it is the national beverage
+and that its introduction in all parts of the world would be
+a blessing to mankind.</p>
+
+<p>Professors Ure and Huxley, Dr. Harvey, Dr. Abercrombie
+and Bayard Taylor, the celebrated traveler and recent
+ambassador at the court at Berlin, as also our great statesman
+and historian George Bancroft, all came, after careful
+study and personal observation, to the same conclusion,
+that beer is not only healthy, refreshing and enlivening as
+a beverage, but also an excellent means of rooting out the
+love of strong drink and securing genuine temperance.</p>
+
+<p>Dr. A. Baer, member of the Royal Sanitary Council,
+and chief physician at the prisons of Berlin and Ploetzensee
+near Berlin has, within a few months, published a valuable
+work on alcoholism. He says, “Beer is of all drinks
+best adapted for a stimulating beverage of general consumption.
+It combines with the refreshing, animating and
+thirst-quenching elements, distinct nutritive qualities,
+mainly due to the abundant presence of certain salts, and
+thus becomes one of the very best substitutes for extract of
+meat. The greater number of characteristic principles of
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_144">[144]</span>the one are found in the other, but the decided nervous
+animation experienced after drinking beer is <ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note&mdash;original text: cheifly" id="cheifly">chiefly</ins> due to
+the large portion of phosphate of potassa, which <i lang="de">Mitcherlich</i>
+says forms 20 parts in 100 of beer ashes, and which,
+according to Ranke, constitutes the principal active ingredient
+in meat broth. To the presence of this salt, beer
+owes its strengthening influence during convalescence and
+in cases of general debility, and its marked tendency to
+produce corpulency, as shown in beer-drinkers. In addition
+to this the bitter principle of the hops has a tonic
+power of marked value in assisting digestion while the
+modicum of alcohol has a stimulating and animating effect
+on the brain. On the whole, beer as a beverage cannot
+be excelled, as it possesses a number of qualities which
+jointly have a most salutary effect upon the human
+organism.”</p>
+
+<p>In a report presented a short time ago to the Industrial
+Society of Mulhouse the well-known Dr. Schoellamer thus
+speaks of beer:</p>
+
+<p>“Beer is one of the best drinks that we can recommend,
+its consumption being most wholesome. Good beer ought
+to be regarded as an excellent drink, capable in itself of replacing
+all other fermented drinks. Thus its moderate
+consumption must be strongly recommended. If its price
+is high a great obstacle is placed in the way of a natural
+consumption.</p>
+
+<p>“Beer contains from two to eight per cent. of alcohol, a
+dose of carbonic acid equal to three or four times its volume;
+when it is exposed to the air it loses all its gas. It
+contains besides azote and phosphates; for example, a liter
+of good beer, made exclusively with hops and barley, contains
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_145">[145]</span>0.80 gr. of azote, which corresponds to 5.26 grains of
+albuminoid matters. There are again from 0.60 gr. to 0.80
+gr. of phosphoric acid, that is as much as in 530 grammes
+of meat or 220 grammes of bread. The solid extract of
+beer contains salts favorable to nutrition, etc. It is on
+these accounts that beer may be considered a beverage of
+the first order.</p>
+
+<p>“It slacks thirst admirably, and as it contains a great
+deal of water it is perhaps the best of all for that purpose.
+As an alcoholic drink it is superior to all spirituous liquors.
+It is the most tonic, the most operative, and the most nourishing.
+Complete drunkenness is almost impossible with
+ordinary beer, whatever quantity may be consumed; what
+is known as “alcoholism” is not produced by it. In fact
+beer exercises on the human economy a tonic, nutritive,
+diuretic, and slightly stupefying action, the last effect being
+due to the essential oil contained in the hops, but large
+quantities must be absorbed before this effect can be produced.”</p>
+
+<p>Professor W. Nasse, president of the Society of Medical
+Officers of Insane Asylums in Germany, presented for consideration
+at their annual meeting held at Hamburg, Sept.
+17, 1876, the following question: “How can we specially
+assist in preventing the injury which results from the use
+of alcoholic liquors?” It was decided that the only
+means was in promoting the use of good mild beer. The
+same opinion has been expressed by Dr. Selman in an address
+delivered at Dusseldorf, and also by Dr. Roller of
+Illenau, a meritorious specialist in mental diseases, and by
+Professors Griesinger of Zurich and Schreiber-Berzelius of
+Sweden. All the authorities just quoted hold a high rank
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_146">[146]</span>in their profession, and contributions from their pens frequently
+appear in the <cite>Quarterly Journal of Inebriety</cite>, published
+at Hartford, Conn.</p>
+
+<p>The Contemporary Review has lately published a series
+of papers on the same topic, written in a popular style by
+several London physicians of celebrity, including Dr. Walter
+Moxon, Sir James Paget and others, and all opposing
+the doctrine of total abstinence and declaring themselves in
+favor of beer as a promotive of the real temperance cause.
+Dr. Albert T. Bernays, too, has considered with great minuteness
+the cause of intemperance and his conclusion is
+that beer is the safest kind of alcohol and should be
+adopted as a common beverage by all classes of people.</p>
+
+<p>In the Minnesota Legislature when the prohibitory law
+was under consideration, Dr. Riley, a representative from
+Houston county, spoke as follows: “In the district where
+I reside there is a large number of Germans who have
+come from the old country and planted grapes, and now
+there are magnificent vineyards stretching along the hillsides
+where formerly there was not grass enough to feed a
+sheep. They raise large quantities of very fine grapes
+which they ship all over the country. They also make
+very fine wine. The proposed law will destroy these vineyards
+of my constituents. * * * Perhaps it will be necessary
+to pass a law to protect those miserable drunkards
+who cannot protect themselves but it is not necessary to
+restrain others of their liberty to drink when they want or
+need it.</p>
+
+<p>“Why, I have seen ladies at a tea-party, perhaps not
+drunk, but certainly very jolly from drinking tea, and yet
+they come to this Legislature with petitions signed by all
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_147">[147]</span>whom they could influence or bulldoze into signing, men,
+women or children to the number of ten thousand. There
+are eight hundred thousand people in Minnesota, and we
+are proposing to let these ten thousand override the other
+seven hundred and ninety thousand. They claim as prohibitionists
+that drinking tends to impoverish the people.
+Do you believe that? Look at the Germans! Many of
+them take a piece of land that would scarcely support a
+hog and make a fortune of it. They all drink beer. They
+take their wives and their children to the beer garden and
+sit down and drink their beer every day, and even the babe
+in arms will stretch to get a taste of it. These people are
+not impoverished by it. These people are so healthy in
+my neighborhood that I have actually not been able to
+make a living out of my German constituents.</p>
+
+<p>“They say it tends to the degeneration of the human
+race. How does it happen that in New England where
+prohibitory laws are in force the race has so degenerated
+that they do not seem to be able to raise any children?
+Look at the Germans who drink beer all the time. You
+will find a large family of healthy children in almost every
+German house. Are they degenerated?</p>
+
+<p>“The children of total abstinence people are constantly
+dying. From the vital statistics of Minnesota I learn that
+over two thousand children died last year under two years
+of age. They would not have died if they had been fed on
+good wholesome beer. I would advise mothers—and I
+have advised them in my practice—to give their sickly
+children plenty of beer, and I know I have saved many an
+infant’s life. Beer is the best cure for dyspepsia in the
+world. I have cured women of this terrible disease by advising
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_148">[148]</span>them to drink three glasses of beer every day, and I
+say again to you mothers that if you will drink beer and
+feed your children on beer you will raise more and healthier
+children.</p>
+
+<p>“Referring to the vital statistics of the state, I find that
+but six men died of intemperance during last year—two of
+delirium tremens and four of something else, which they
+couldn’t tell anything about, and so called it intemperance.
+And yet you want to stop drinking. Eleven were killed
+by horses during the same time. Why don’t you abolish
+horses—never use them or go near them? Thirty-five committed
+suicide. Why don’t you prohibit the use of firearms
+and knives, and drain all your lakes and rivers for fear
+some poor fool will drown himself? Some 152 died of
+heart disease. I don’t want any heart in mine. Twenty
+ladies were scalded to death. You ought to prohibit the
+use of hot water for fear that more ladies will get into it
+and perish.</p>
+
+<p>“England away across the sea has brewed beer for many
+hundred years and will continue to brew for thousands of
+years more, and to the fact that the English people have
+drunk beer all that time I do conscientiously attribute her
+present greatness. Beer-drinkers are slow but sure. Look
+at Germany, that great nation. We could not pay her for
+the money we have borrowed of her. Her great army, the
+best in the world, her great statesmen, her philosophers,
+were all raised on beer.”</p>

+
+<p>The Hon. Frederick Lauer in a speech before the Brewers’
+Convention at St. Louis, June 4, 1879, thus presents a
+phase of the beer question which is certainly of importance:</p>
+
+<p>“What we now want to ensure the future happiness and
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_149">[149]</span>prosperity of the country is the enactment of liberal laws to
+induce the industrious classes of overcrowded Europe to
+flock to our shores. We want immigration for the purpose
+of building up our towns and cities, developing our manufacturing
+enterprises, and cultivating the millions of fertile
+acres in this country now lying idle. The thrifty German
+is accustomed to his daily ration of beer. In the land of
+his nativity he has his parks and public gardens, where
+family unions and social gatherings take place amid the
+ecstatic influence of the foaming lager. The English, Irish,
+Scotch, and people of other European countries are noted
+patrons of malt liquors. The greatest liberality should,
+therefore, be shown them in the indulgence in their customary
+beverages in the land of their adoption. With the
+more general use of malt liquors the hundreds of quack
+medicines now in the market will disappear, as it has been
+proved by experience in countries where malt beverages are
+the popular drink, that health and longevity are marked
+features, and dyspepsia and chronic complaints are rare.
+The tide of emigration is again swelling to this country.
+According to the <cite>New York Herald</cite> of the first of May last,
+the total number of immigrants landed at New York for the
+first three months of 1879 was 11,288, more than two-thirds
+of whom came from Germany, England and Ireland. The
+emigration of aliens to the United States from 1789 to 1877
+is set down in round numbers at 10,000,000, who, with their
+descendants have built up this great nation. Since May 5,
+1847, the emigration to this country has reached 5,732,183
+souls. In view of these facts nothing should be done to
+interfere with the happiness of those who seek our shores,
+but by means of wise laws they should be protected in the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_150">[150]</span>enjoyment of their rights and privileges. To be successful
+as a government we should invite immigration, and develop
+our great natural resources, and then by promoting health
+and temperate habits by the adoption of beer as the
+national beverage, we will increase as a nation, and be in
+truth and in fact the greatest country on the face of the
+earth.”</p>

+<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_XII">CHAPTER XII.<br>
+<span class="chapt_sub">CONCLUSION.</span></h2>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>In the foregoing pages it has been impossible to give a
+hundredth part of the evidence that lies ready at hand in
+this matter of the use and effects of beer, but we have endeavored,
+by careful selection, to present such as must have
+weight with all readers. Nothing has been stated as a fact
+which cannot be amply corroborated, and no inference
+drawn that did not seem to be fully warranted by the premises.
+It has been shown that beer is wholesome, and so
+mildly alcoholic as to make drunkenness from its use very
+uncommon. A man who drinks in order to become intoxicated,
+can, no doubt, accomplish his purpose with beer; but
+such men are almost unknown where beer is the common
+beverage. This abnormal impulse usually comes only in
+consequence of a course of ardent spirits.</p>
+
+<p>The evidence as to the cure of intemperance by the introduction
+of a free use of beer is especially important, and
+one of the most striking instances of such success is to be
+found in the case of Denmark, to which we desire again to
+call special attention. This is the central point of the
+whole question. Heartily desiring the progress of genuine
+temperance, and fully believing that all efforts in the direction
+of prohibition are false in theory and injurious in
+practice, that they do not prevent intemperance and do
+produce many other evils, we hold that the safe and only
+course is to popularize the use of beer, and cannot doubt
+that government would do well to foster its manufacture in
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_152">[152]</span>every practicable way, and that taxation on the product
+should be abolished, or at least made very light. Such a
+course would not merely secure the very end which has
+been unsuccessfully attempted by prohibitory laws, but it
+would do much more. It would diminish the poor rates,
+save the money spent in prosecutions, which, after all, do no
+real good, and incidentally improve the whole business condition.
+Some refreshing, stimulating drink the people will
+have, and legislators should seek to guide the instinct, not
+eradicate it. Men of the highest scientific authority have
+again and again pronounced beer to be not merely harmless,
+but beneficial. Experience in the countries where it is
+most used develops the same result, and the readiness with
+which it is adopted in place of ardent spirits, whenever it is
+of good quality and low price, shows how easily the experiment
+of temperance on this basis can be tried. Even advocates
+of total abstinence must admit that beer is better
+than whisky. The fact that it adds greatly to the enjoyment
+of a people must not be ignored. Here in America
+we are apt to forget all but the work-a-day part of life, but
+the demand for recreation exists and must be gratified in
+some way, and almost always recreation is social, and is
+made more enjoyable and cheerful by some mild stimulant.
+It refreshes and enlivens, and so contributes directly to the
+social happiness that is the object sought.</p>
+
+<p>It is to be hoped that legislators in general will soon
+learn to take broader views than seem generally to have
+prevailed in the past. Statesmanship is not bounded by
+the views of one or the other party and is affected by no
+popular clamor. It does not enact a law because it is
+loudly demanded by a certain set of persons, especially if
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_153">[153]</span>these persons have a hobby to ride, no matter how earnestly
+they may believe in it. A statesman will see for instance
+in this temperance question, that the stay of drunkenness
+must be through a social change. Legal prohibition
+can do little while all the other conditions of the
+problem remain unchanged. Something must be given for
+what is forbidden. If beer is encouraged ardent spirits can
+be driven out, and when this idea is once thoroughly understood
+and put in practice we shall have the temperance
+era, so long expected and so ardently desired.</p>
+
+<p>There is another subject which we approach with some
+reluctance, knowing that however carefully our words may
+be weighed, there is a large number of estimable individuals
+throughout the country and particularly in the Eastern
+states, to whom they will probably give offense. We
+allude to what is called the Sunday question, and the topic
+is treated here because in this country beer drinking is, in
+the common mind, intimately associated with the German
+Americans and their custom of spending part of Sunday in
+recreation in a beer garden. The fact that they do so has
+been more than once used as an argument against them
+and against the use of beer, as if there were any real connection
+between the character of the drink and such a custom
+on the part of its greatest consumers even supposing
+the custom to be actually harmful or immoral. As such a
+feeling exists, however, it seems worth while to call attention
+to the fact that what is known as the New England
+Sunday is not an essential part of Christianity as so many
+honestly suppose, but something that in comparison with
+Christianity is new and local. We need hardly say that in
+the early days of the church it was distinctly taught that
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_154">[154]</span>the time of the Jewish sabbath was past and for several
+hundred years this view was generally held. Notice the
+following passages from the New Testament:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot">
+
+<p>“The law and the prophets were until John. * * Old
+things are passed away; behold all things are become new. * *
+Brethren ye have been called unto liberty; only use not that
+liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
+For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou
+shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. * * Love worketh no ill
+to his neighbor.</p>
+
+<p>“If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is
+perfected in us. * * For love is of God; and every one that
+loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not,
+knoweth not God; for God is love. * * But he that hateth
+his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth
+not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his
+eyes.</p>
+
+<p>“A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another.
+* * Love is the fulfilling of the law.”</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>Jesus himself taught the disregard of the sabbath as a
+day of ceasing from labor or recreation and are we to suppose
+that both his teaching and practice had no meaning?</p>
+
+<p>Paul says, “One man esteemeth one day above another: another
+esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded
+in his own mind. Let no man therefore judge you in respect
+of a holy day or of the new moon or of the sabbath days.”</p>
+
+<p>The first legal enactment requiring an observance of
+Sunday as a Sabbath, was foisted upon the Christian world
+A. D. 321, by Constantine the Great—a heartless tyrant
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_155">[155]</span>who had caused seven members of his family to be put to
+death in cold blood, that he might attain political and religious
+supremacy! He embraced Christianity because the
+Pagan priests and pontiffs could not grant him absolution,
+and would not fraternize with such a murderous monster!
+Hence he became the father of the so-called Sunday laws.
+Even Constantine’s decree did not interdict recreation nor
+the tillage of the soil. In general, through the Christian
+world, the day was a holiday, such as it now is on the continent
+of Europe. There the hours of service in the churches
+fall, usually, in the morning, and are strictly observed while
+the rest of the day is universally given to enjoyment. Let
+those, however, who are accustomed to cry out at the notion
+of a continental Sunday, remember that they are themselves
+the innovators, and let them, too, examine the following
+passages from the writings of men whose names must command
+respect, and not one of whom would speak in such a
+matter without mature consideration:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot">
+
+<p>“It will be plainly seen that Jesus did decidedly and avowedly
+<span class="allsmcap">VIOLATE THE SABBATH</span>. The dogma of the assembly of divines
+at Westminster, that the observance of the Sabbath is a part of
+the moral law, is to me utterly unintelligible.”—Archbishop
+Whately.</p>
+
+<p>“As for the seventh day, that has gone to its grave with the
+signs and shadows of the Old Testament. Its imposition by law
+leads to blood and stoning to death those who do but gather sticks
+thereon; a thing which no way becomes the gospel.”—Bunyan.</p>
+
+<p>“The law of the Sabbath being thus repealed, that no particular
+day of worship has been appointed in its place is evident.”—Milton.</p>
+
+<p>“They who think that by the authority of the Church, the observance
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_156">[156]</span>of the Lord’s day was appointed instead of the Sabbath,
+as if necessary, are greatly deceived.—Melancthon.</p>
+
+<p>* * “And truly we see what such a doctrine has profited;
+for those who adopt it far exceed the Jews in a gross, carnal and
+superstitious observance of the Sabbath.”—John Calvin.</p>
+
+<p>“As regards the Sabbath or Sunday, there is no necessity for
+keeping it; but if we do it ought not to be on account of Moses’s
+commandment, but because nature teaches us from time to time
+to take a day of rest. * * If anywhere the day is made holy
+for the mere day’s sake, then I order you to work on it, to ride on
+it, to dance on it, to do anything that will reprove this encroachment
+on Christian spirit and liberty.”—Martin Luther.</p>
+
+<p>“These things refute those who suppose that the first day of
+the week (that is, the Lord’s day), was substituted in place of the
+Sabbath, for no mention is made of such a thing by Christ or his
+Apostles.”—Grotius.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>Tyndale the martyr, Erasmus, Paley, McNight and a host
+of other Christian authorities, were and are of the same
+opinion regarding Sabbath observance. England and America
+stand practically alone in retaining so much of the Jewish
+Sabbath. Here is a letter from Benjamin Franklin to
+Jared Ingersoll of New Haven, Conn., which bears directly
+on the subject and may be read with both interest and profit
+by those who concern themselves in Sunday laws.<a id="FNanchor_22" href="#Footnote_22" class="fnanchor">[22]</a></p>

+<p>A correspondent of the New York <cite>Staats-Zeitung</cite><a id="FNanchor_23" href="#Footnote_23" class="fnanchor">[23]</a> writes
+as follows: “The Emperor of Germany has made a contribution
+to the discussion of the Sunday question, that is
+very much to the point. It is an address to the Prussian
+Synod, which had recently objected to the holding of a review
+on Sunday, and reads thus: ‘He who instituted the
+Sabbath has declared that the Sabbath was made for man,
+and not man for the Sabbath. The puritanic and Calvinistic
+conception of the Sabbath as a day of penance and
+repentance, has always been foreign to the feeling and taste
+of the German people.’”</p>

+
+<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_23" href="#FNanchor_23" class="label">[23]</a> New York <cite>Staats-Zeitung</cite>, Nov. 1, 1879.</p>
+
+</div></div>
+
+<p>These words of the Emperor will receive the hearty assent
+of every German-American, and preachers and pietists
+may as well understand that Germans in America will
+struggle as long for their free Sunday as Germans in their
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_158">[158]</span>old home have for a free German Rhine. They have conquered
+back the “sacred stream” and something more into
+the bargain, and we here shall have no less success in securing
+a free, cheerful Sunday, if we remain united and true
+to our principles.</p>
+
+<p>England formerly held the same views that then and
+since have prevailed on the continent, but gradually the
+liberty of the day was restricted and its character wholly
+changed. We have lately met with an excellent summary
+of the course of legislation that produced this result. It
+marks clearly the various stages of the restrictive process
+and we cannot do better than reproduce it here for the
+benefit of readers to whom it may prove novel.</p>
+
+<p>“Prior to the statute of 1676, any act done on Sunday,
+except in proceedings of courts, was of the same binding
+force as if performed on any other day. Parliament sat on
+that day, for in the reign of Edward I., in 1278 and 1305,
+three statutes were made on Sunday. Nor did the first
+restraining laws make any distinction between Sundays and
+other holy days. Thus the statute of 28 Edward III., Cap.
+14, in 1357, says: “Shewing of wools (<i>i. e.</i>, by merchants)
+shall be made at the staple every day in the week except
+the Sunday and solemn feasts of the year.” No further
+enactment was made touching the matter in question for
+nearly 100 years; but in 1448 was passed the act of 27
+Henry VI., Cap. 5, entitled, “Certain days wherein fairs
+and markets ought not to be kept,” which sets forth that
+“The King hath ordained that all manner of fairs and
+markets in said principal feasts (of Ascension, Corpus
+Christi, Assumption, and All Saints) and Sundays and
+Good Friday shall clearly cease from all shewing of any
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_159">[159]</span>goods or merchandises (necessary victuals only except);”
+but in recognition of the fact that there had previously
+been no such restriction, it is provided that “Nevertheless,
+of his special grace (the King) granted to them power
+which of old time had no day to hold their fair or market,
+but only upon the festival days aforesaid, to hold the same
+authority and strength of his old grant within three days
+next before said feasts or next after.”</p>
+
+<p>The act of 4, Edward IV., Cap. 7, in 1464, seems to
+have been occasioned by some special irritation from the
+dishonesty of leather-dressers and shoemakers; for, after
+sundry stringent provisions applying to them generally, it
+is provided that “No person, cordwainer or cobbler, within
+the City of London * * * upon any Sunday in the
+year, or in the feasts of the Nativity or Ascension of our
+Lord, or in the feast of Corpus Christi, shall sell, or command,
+or do to be sold, any shoes, huseaus, or galoches, or
+upon the Sunday, or any of said feasts, shall set or put
+upon the feet or legs of any person, any shoes, huseaus, or
+galoches.” This statute was repealed in 1522, but re-enacted,
+in part, in 1604.</p>
+
+<p>In 1552 was passed “An act for keeping holy days and
+feasting days” (5 and 6 Edw. IV., Cap. 2), the preamble
+of which is an instructive example of the pains taken by all
+Christians, Catholic and Protestant, prior to the seventeenth
+century, to deny that Sunday or any other holy or feast
+day, possessed of itself any sacredness or any higher claim
+to observance than that of convenience for the purpose of
+uniformity in worship. It ran thus: “For as much as at
+all times men be not so mindful to laud and praise God
+* * * as their bounden duty doth require; therefore, to
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_160">[160]</span>call men to remembrance of their duty and help their infirmity,
+it hath been wholesomely provided that there shall
+be some certain times and days appointed wherein the
+Christian should cease from all kinds of labors; * * *
+neither is it to be thought that there is any certain time
+or definite number of days prescribed in Holy Scripture,
+but that the appointment, both of time and also of the
+number of the days, is left by the authority of God’s word
+to the liberty of Christ’s Church to be determined and
+assigned orderly in every country by the discretion of the
+rulers and ministers thereof, as they shall judge most
+expedient for the true setting forth of God’s glory and the
+edification of their people; be it therefore enacted, that all
+the days hereafter mentioned (to wit: Sundays, the Feast
+of the Circumcision, and twenty-two other feast days that
+are named, and Mondays and Tuesdays in Easter Week and
+Whitsun Week) shall be kept and commanded to be kept
+holy days, and none other.” It was further provided,
+“That it shall be lawful to every husbandman, laborer,
+fisherman, * * * upon the holy days aforesaid, in harvest,
+or at any other time of the year when necessity shall
+require, to labor, ride, fish, or work any kind of work
+at their free wills and pleasure.” This Protestant law was
+repealed the next year by the Catholic government of Mary,
+and restored in 1604, in the first year of James I. It is
+strikingly similiar to the decree of Constantine the Great,
+made in the year 321: “Let all Judges and people of the
+town rest, and all the various trades be suspended, on the
+venerable day of the sun. Those who live in the country,
+however, may freely and without fault attend to the cultivation
+of their fields * * * lest, with the loss of favorable
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_161">[161]</span>opportunity, the commodities offered by Divine Providence
+should be destroyed.”</p>
+
+<p>In 1558 (1 Eliz., Cap. 2, Sec. 14,) was passed the first
+law requiring attendance upon public worship “upon every
+Sunday, and other days ordained and used to be kept as
+holy days,” upon pain of church censure and a fine of
+twelvepence.</p>
+
+<p>The English Puritans of the time of James I., were the
+first to impose the name and character of the Jewish Sabbath
+upon the first day of the week, and those who came to
+America brought the name and the idea with them. To
+that seventeenth-century influence, and not to any scriptural
+or ecclesiastical teaching of any earlier time, are we indebted
+for sermons on Sunday observance. The doctrine held on
+that subject by most evangelical Christians is not yet three
+hundred years old.</p>
+
+<p>In 1625 was passed a law (1 Car. I., Cap. 1,) that
+“There should be no meeting, assemblies, or concourse of
+people out of their own parishes on the Lord’s day, for any
+sports or pastimes whatsoever; nor any bear-baiting, bull-baiting,
+interludes, common plays, or other unlawful exercises
+or pastimes used by any persons within their own
+parishes.” “<i>This statute</i>,” says Blackstone, “<i>does not prohibit,
+but rather impliedly allows any innocent recreation or
+amusement within their respective parishes, even on the Lord’s
+day, after Divine service is over;</i>” <em>and, in point of fact,
+both Charles I. and his father before him issued proclamations
+encouraging such amusements after Divine service.</em></p>
+
+<p>In 1676 was enacted the well known “Lord’s Day act,”
+of 29 Car. II., Cap. 7, which prohibits generally all work,
+labor, and business on Sunday, except works of necessity
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_162">[162]</span>and charity, and which, with more or less modification,
+forms the basis of all Sunday laws now extant in the United
+States. Exceptions to this law in favor of hackney coachmen,
+fishwomen, and chairmen, were enacted in 1694, 1699,
+and 1710, and a clause prohibiting bird hunting was subsequently
+added, but it remained in substance until alterations
+and repeals of English laws ceased to have any force
+in this country.”</p>
+
+<p>As an historical matter the question is not very abstruse
+and the truth is well enough known to scholars everywhere;
+should there not then be charity for honest convictions?</p>
+

+
+<p>Such cases have recently been seen in many places in
+this and other states, but particularly so in Newark, N. J.,
+where the enforcement of such an old act forbidding the
+sale of beer and other beverages on Sunday caused a reaction
+of unexpected violence, and very characteristic of the
+profound change that has already taken place in the popular
+conception of the day. The circumstances in brief
+were as follows: A considerable number of prohibitionists
+had organized under the name of the Law and Order
+Association for the purpose of enforcing the Sunday
+law and preventing the licensing of bar rooms. Numerous
+prosecutions were made and carried through to conviction
+under the old state law after having failed in the city police
+courts. Thereupon the Citizens’ Protective Association
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_163">[163]</span>was formed and in September, 1879, a demonstration was
+made by a great procession, and the adoption of resolutions
+calling for a repeal of the law which, after lying idle so
+long, had suddenly been revived to the great injury of an
+established business, and with manifest injustice to a large
+number of peaceable citizens who conceived their rights to
+be interfered with, inasmuch as a law long inoperative must
+practically be regarded as a dead letter and ignored by those
+who, if they had supposed it to possess vital power, would
+have removed from its jurisdiction or taken pains never to
+come within it. The procession numbered ten or twelve
+thousand and great enthusiasm was displayed, not only in
+the ranks, but by residents all along the line of march. The
+matter was evidently one which took a deep hold on the
+feelings of the community and none the less because of a
+common feeling that they had been unfairly treated by the
+appeal to a law not in harmony with the spirit of the times
+or of abstract justice. A crowd is very apt to be wrong
+and it is easy to stir up the people, but here the crowd had
+more reason on its side than it was itself aware of, reason
+founded on history, and making the law that had been enforced
+an unwarrantable attack on personal liberty. They
+felt that it was so, though few probably would have been able
+to give a clear explanation of the feeling or trace its justification
+by the facts. As for enthusiasm, we are told that
+it needed no stimulus and can easily believe it to have been
+so, for aside from the more abstract and philosophical justice
+of their complaint, there was the immediate smart felt
+by men who lose the day of recreation to which they have
+looked forward all the week, or find that they are to suffer
+a pecuniary loss and that their occupation is not only
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_164">[164]</span>checked but stigmatized. The matter made a great excitement
+and called out many bitter paragraphs on both sides,
+but chiefly among the more narrow-minded and pharisaical
+of so-called religious press. We have no space or disposition
+to go into the details of their criticism, even for the
+sake of illustrating how far misrepresentation and innuendo
+may be made to stand in place of careful statement and
+sound argument. The case has been spoken of because it
+is in some sense typical, because it represents the course of
+public thought and feeling, and the change which even
+within two or three generations has come over the rigid
+enactments of puritan early settlers. These puritans did
+much good but it was all tempered and shadowed by an
+austere severity that has no merit in itself and that crushes
+out much the better part of life and obscures many a truth
+that in itself is clear as noonday. The mind of the people
+has changed. It is time that the law should be changed
+also. The <cite>Christian Union</cite> has said, “The sooner the
+issue is made in Chicago between a whole sabbath and
+none at all, the sooner the Christian element in the community
+will win the victory it will deserve. Half a sabbath
+is hardly worth fighting for.” We say that the best
+rule for observing the day is that which gives the greatest
+amount of harmless freedom and enjoyment to the greatest
+number, each according to his own judgment and conscience.
+Our foreign element is very large and has its own
+beliefs and traditions, as dear and as implicitly held as
+those of any one whose training and practice have been
+after the strictest sabbatarian pattern.</p>
+
+<p>We have attempted here no argument, but simply given
+some cardinal facts, and now leave the matter in the hope
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_165">[165]</span>that those who dissent will at least respect honest utterance
+and not allow their objections on this one point to prejudice
+them against our discussion of the value of malt beverages
+as aids to genuine temperance and useful friends to man.</p>
+
+<p>We close as we began, with the words which seem to us
+to indicate the only practical road to real temperance, and
+record again our motto</p>

+<p>It will be seen from the above table that Germany, exclusive
+of German Austria, brews the enormous quantity
+of 885,646,782 gallons of beer, or about 20.7 to each individual
+in a population of 42,727,360. Most of this is consumed
+at home, and great quantities are imported from
+Christiana, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark, while ale
+and porter are largely brought from England.</p>
+
+<p>It is worthy of notice that Bavaria, which has been
+known for centuries as the cradle of men of arts and sciences,
+stands at the head of the list of beer producing countries.
+With a population of only about five millions, it
+brews three hundred and twenty-nine million gallons or
+65.5 gallons to every individual; and next in rank is the
+little kingdom of Wurtemberg, the native state of the great
+Schiller. Munich, the capital of Bavaria is especially celebrated
+for the long array of men of arts, letters and science
+who have either been born there or adopted it as a residence.
+But it is, at the same time, the greatest beer-drinking
+city in the world. It produced in the year 1876 no less
+than 1,198,951 hectoliters = 31,772,201 gallons, and its actual
+home consumption in that year was 956,455 hectoliters
+= 25,346,057 gallons, which, in a population of 198,000,
+gives 128 gallons a year for every individual, costing in all
+$6,216,955, or about $31 per head. The amount paid for
+beer is less by $1,363,800 than the amount paid for house
+rent. In the years 1877 and 1878 the amount paid for
+beer fell off, but for the current year (1879) it will, according
+to statistics thus far received, be larger than ever before.
+The taxes for the municipal government and city taxes are
+less than a tenth of the amount expended for beer—and yet
+there is not a more orderly and well behaved city in the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_169">[169]</span>world than this same Munich. All this is indirect evidence
+of great importance as to the social and intellectual effect
+that may be expected to follow a free and even a very large
+use of beer.</p>
+
+<p>Vienna stands in a similar category though it offers a less
+striking illustration of the case than Munich does. It has,
+however, one brewer whose operations are extensive enough
+to deserve special mention. This is the well-known Anton
+Dreher, whose business, begun at Schwechat in 1836, now
+comprises large establishments in four Austrian cities, with
+an annual product of 500,000 barrels, paying a government
+tax of $750,000.00 or more. The business employs combined
+water and steam engines of 100 horse power, 400
+brewers, 200 teamsters and common laborers, 150 horses,
+and no less than 250 draught oxen.</p>
+
+<p>Karlsruhe, the capital of Baden is also an important
+brewing city. Its product is 4,884,350 gallons, and of this
+amount something over one million gallons is contributed
+by the Albert Printz brewery alone.</p>
+
+<p>It is, however, useless to attempt any mention of the
+cities or districts that are distinguished for the quantity or
+quality of their beer. We can only say that they are very
+numerous, and add that their character is such as to

+
+<p>The brewery of modern times is very different from anything
+conceived of one or two hundred years ago. Not
+merely its extent but all its appliances are characteristic of
+this busy, progressive age, that knows how to plant money
+in extensive outfits and supervision, in order that it may
+yield a greater return, just as seeds put in rich earth and
+carefully tended during growth give larger harvests of better
+quality than were ever looked for in the old hap-hazard,
+starving plan. We cannot mention one in fifty of those who
+deserve notice. Think, for instance, of the great brewery
+of M. T. Bass, at Burton on Trent, which produces about
+one million barrels a year; or those of Anton Dreher,
+turning out five hundred thousand barrels, and see if it
+is possible to attain such results except by modern processes
+and modern business energy. No house in the United
+States has yet reached so great a product, but more than
+one is on the direct way, and it is not only possible but
+probable that within fifty years the largest establishments
+and the finest beer will be found in this country. In the
+multitude of those who fairly deserve mention it seems
+almost invidious to select a few, but it has seemed best to
+give a brief account of some that, in one way or another,
+may be regarded as typical exponents of this department
+of American industry. Those mentioned are not always
+the largest or best known, but they represent different parts
+of the country and together form a tolerable epitome of the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_178">[178]</span>whole brewing business, with its larger and smaller breweries,
+old and new establishments, and various ways of procedure,
+the common feature being that all endeavor to
+produce a thoroughly good article, and trust to the merit of
+the product for success rather than to any temporary advantages
+that may be gained by cheapening their brew at
+the expense of its flavor or wholesomeness. This is the
+noticeable fact in the brewing trade at the present time.</p>
+
+
+<h3 id="lauer">HISTORICAL SKETCH OF HON. FREDERICK LAUER OF READING,
+PA.</h3>
+
+<p>The brewery of Mr. Frederick Lauer of Reading, Pa.,
+is not only among the oldest in the country, but has remained
+from the beginning in the hands of the Lauer family.
+It was established in 1823 at Womelsdorf, a few miles
+from Reading, by the father of the present proprietor, who
+had just arrived from Germany. In 1826 it was removed
+to Reading, and the business started on the same spot where
+it is now carried on. The elder Lauer was an indefatigable
+worker, and is said at this time to have taken no more than
+two or three hours regular sleep a day. In 1835 his son
+Frederick succeeded to the sole proprietorship of the brewery,
+and its progress from this time was very rapid. For
+several years ale and porter had been brewed, but no lager
+beer was made in the country until 1842. In the year 1844
+Mr. Lauer began to brew lager beer, and was thus one of
+the pioneers in this industry; and since that time ale, lager
+beer and porter have been produced constantly. The
+brewery is a model of neatness and convenience, perfect in
+every appointment and the special pride and pet of its
+owner, who would much rather lose a year’s profits than
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_179">[179]</span>tolerate dirt or disorder or the production of a poor beer.
+Mr. Lauer has not, however, been constantly occupied with
+his private business. For at least thirty years he has been
+one of the prominent men of the city of Reading; has held
+various important public positions, political and otherwise,
+and has done great service in securing equable legislation
+in matters affecting the brewing trade. A man of quick
+perception and untiring energy, he has again and again
+accomplished alone, or nearly alone, things that were considered
+almost impossible, and from whose attempt his associates
+recoiled. An instance in point is thus described in
+a recently published sketch of his life: “The way the
+tax was saved was as follows: Shortly before the adjournment
+of Congress, he (Mr. Lauer) received a letter apprising
+him that the Committee on Ways and Means were about
+advising an increase. He immediately telegraphed to the
+nearest members of the Brewers’ Committee to join him at
+Washington. They had an interview with the Committee
+of Ways and Means, but the Committee refused to make
+any modification in the bill, as it had already passed the
+first reading in the House. There were ten members of the
+Brewers’ Committee, nine of whom, after the interview,
+agreed to allow the fifty cents increase and make no further
+exertion in the matter. Mr. Lauer, the tenth, was not
+satisfied; and, after gaining the consent of the Committee,
+he called on a number of members of the House, and urged
+upon them the ruinous consequences to the brewing business
+which would follow the passage of the bill as reported.
+The same day, February 11, 1865, the bill came up in Committee
+of the Whole, when the desired modification was
+made by a vote of seventy-three to sixty-eight, and the
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_180">[180]</span>following week the bill came up for final passage, when the
+bill, as modified, was passed by a majority of four. The
+members from Kentucky who had voted against the modification
+in the first place, voted for the bill when it came up
+on the third reading, they having been influenced through
+the exertions of Mr. Lauer. Immediately after its passage,
+Thad. Stevens, chairman on the Ways and Means, jumped
+up and exclaimed, ‘That d—d Lauer did it.’”</p>
+
+<p>This is only one of many instances in which Mr. Lauer’s
+efforts have been of the greatest value to brewers at large
+and incidentally to the whole country. He was the first
+president of the United States Brewers’ Association, and
+has more than once been able in time of scarcity to secure
+such shipments of malt or hops from foreign countries as to
+relieve the distress and materially reduce the inflated price
+of these articles.</p>
+
+
+<h3 id="schlitz">THE JOSEPH SCHLITZ BREWING CO., MILWAUKEE, WIS.
+</h3>
+<p>In the year 1849 Mr. August Krug built a small brewery
+at Milwaukee on Chestnut street, between 4th and 5th
+streets, and the year after he added vaults of a capacity of
+150 barrels, situated on the corner of 3d and Walnut streets.
+His sale was about 250 barrels. From this small beginning
+there developed one of the largest breweries in the country.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Krug died in 1856, and Mr. Joseph Schlitz who had
+come to Milwaukee during the previous year took the management
+of the business which at first increased only moderately
+although managed with skill and energy. In the year
+1865 the sales were 4,400 barrels. Five years later he began
+the erection of the present brewery on the corner of 3d and
+Walnut streets, the same place where the original vaults
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_181">[181]</span>had been situated. The greater part of the present buildings
+were completed within two years, and the sales for
+1871 amounted to 12,283 barrels. The period of rapid development
+had now been reached, and the advance up to
+the present time has been remarkable as may be seen from
+the following table of the yearly sales, beginning with the
+year 1870.</p>

+<p>In 1874 the business was made into a stock company
+under the title “Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company,” with
+Mr. Schlitz as president, the secretary and superintendent
+being respectively, Mr. August Uihlein and Mr. Henry
+Uihlein. Being thus partially relieved of the immediate
+cares of business Mr. Schlitz in the following year sailed
+for Germany to visit his native home of Mayence. The
+vessel was the Schiller, which, as all readers must remember,
+was wrecked on the Scilly Islands, May 7, 1875, and
+Mr. Schlitz was one of the many victims of that disaster. In
+these circumstances the company organization was probably
+a fortunate circumstance for the business. The death of a
+sole proprietor or even a sole nominal proprietor is apt to
+derange a business, no matter how capable the successor
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_182">[182]</span>may be, and this difficulty is almost avoided in the case of
+an established company. The present management is as
+follows:</p>
+
+<p>President, Henry Uihlein; secretary, August Uihlein;
+superintendent, Alfred Uihlein. The brewery in its present
+form occupies two whole squares, and still larger
+<ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note&mdash;original text: accomodations" id="accomod"> accommodations </ins>may be needed at no distant day. There is
+a new ice-house 100 × 124 feet, four stories high, and with
+a twenty-four foot basement. The cellars have a capacity
+of 25,000 barrels; the whole storage capacity is 70,000 barrels,
+and the brewery is already fitted for the production of
+200,000 barrels a year. There is a large coopering establishment
+and the gathering of ice alone occupies 300 men
+and 90 teams for about twenty days every year. The beer
+is sent all over the United States and to Brazil, Central
+America and Mexico, in both barrels and bottles. About
+one million bottles were sold in 1877, and in the succeeding
+year the amount was more than two millions. The
+bottling department alone occupies a building 46 × 150 feet,
+with basement, and fitted with all conveniences for the
+work.</p>
+
+<p>The analysis of this beer gives the following result for the
+percentage of alcohol: ordinary lager beer 4.5 volumetrically,
+and 5.6 by weight. The bottled lager beer shows as
+a result of four analyses within six months, six per cent. of
+alcohol volumetrically, and 4.8 by weight. This is certainly
+an excellent showing, and calculated to enhance the reputation
+of any brewery.</p>

+
+<h3 id="krueger">THE BREWERY OF MR. GOTTFRIED KRUEGER, NEWARK,
+N. J.</h3>
+
+<p>The brewery now owned by Mr. Gottfried Krueger was
+founded in 1851 by Louis Adam and J. Braun, the latter of
+whom died before the buildings were completed. Mr.
+Adam at once formed a partnership with John Laible under
+the firm name of Laible &amp; Adam, and pushed the work
+so well that within the year brewing was commenced, and
+a sale of 1,200 barrels for the first twelve months secured.</p>
+
+<p>The property then consisted of six city lots, a small frame
+house partly used as a saloon, a one-story frame brewery
+thirty feet square, a stable for two horses and vaults for
+500 barrels of beer. The brewing capacity was about
+twenty barrels.</p>
+
+<p>In 1852 Mr. Gottfried Krueger, the present proprietor,
+came to this country, and being a relative of Mr. Laible entered
+the brewery as an apprentice. Here he remained
+until Messrs. Laible and Adam dissolved partnership in
+1855, Mr. Laible building a new brewery and Mr. Adam
+continuing the old business. Mr. Krueger accompanied
+Mr. Laible and became foreman in the establishment where
+he remained until 1865 when in conjunction with Mr. Gottlieb
+Hill he bought the old brewery of Louis Adam and
+commenced business under the firm name of Hill &amp; Krueger.
+During the interval a new brewery had been added and a
+new stable for six horses, while the sale had increased to
+4,000 barrels and the brewing capacity to fifty barrels.
+This advance, however, was destined to be greatly surpassed
+by that made under the new management. The
+first step was the building of two new vaults of a capacity
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_184">[184]</span>of 5,000 barrels. This together with numerous minor improvements
+was accomplished during the first year, and
+within the same time the sale of beer was doubled. The
+years next succeeding saw a rapid development. In 1866
+the firm built a new three-story brick malt and store-house;
+in 1876 a large building for fermenting rooms; in 1868
+stables for twenty horses; in 1869 an ice-house of 4,000
+barrels capacity, and also vaults for 2,000 barrels. The result
+fully justified these preparations for an enlarged business
+for the sale increased steadily year by year and in 1875
+amounted to 25,000 barrels.</p>
+
+<p>At this time Mr. Hill was compelled by the state of his
+health to retire from business, and on the 16th of February,
+1875, Mr. Krueger became the sole owner of the property
+which then covered the entire block. Adding in 1878 a
+model office building and in 1879 new stables for forty-five
+horses, he has now one of the finest breweries in the State.
+The sale for the current year will be over 40,000 barrels.</p>
+
+<p>In explanation of the cut we may add that the malt and
+brew-houses are situated on Belmont avenue, the office and
+stables on West Kinney street, the ice-house on Charlton
+street, and the yards etc., on Montgomery street.</p>
+
+<p>Every one connected with the establishment, from Mr.
+Krueger down, is thoroughly fit for his duties and zealous
+in their discharge. The management is by the proprietor
+himself, ably seconded by Mr. Theodore C. W. Eggerking
+who has been long and successfully connected with the
+business.</p>

+
+
+<p>There is some difference of opinion as to the propriety of publishing
+such information as the annual product of the various breweries in the
+country, and it therefore seems proper to explain why it has been decided
+to give the figures in these pages, and how the information has
+been obtained.</p>
+
+<p>For some time the particulars were furnished to certain parties in
+Chicago and New York, by a clerk in the Internal Revenue Department
+at Washington. In this there was probably an injustice, for what
+is demanded by the law cannot be withheld by the brewer, and both
+analogy and general reasoning indicate that this forced information
+should be considered as confidential, and not exposed to the comment
+of indifferent persons or business rivals.</p>
+
+<p>This view of the case is the one now held by the Department, as
+appears from the following correspondence:</p>

+
+<p>On the other hand, while it is certain that many brewers are glad to
+have their product extensively stated, it is at least probable that very
+few have any real objection. In order to test the question we sent
+a printed form of inquiry, as to production, to all the brewers in
+the country. A large majority furnished the desired information,
+and as many others doubtless failed to answer simply through
+negligence or indifference, it seemed certain that the number of objectors
+was so small that this list might be published with propriety and
+to the satisfaction of far the larger part of those interested. It is to be
+noticed that this is a very different thing from printing enforced statements,
+without a shadow of authority from the brewers themselves.
+In this book the figures are generally furnished by the brewers and for
+this very purpose. Where no reply has been received, the product has
+been stated according to the best testimony that could be obtained, and
+the total result is certainly more accurate than any yet published.
+This is not because the government returns were incorrect, but because
+of carelessness in transcription, or errors of the types, or both.
+Whatever the cause, so many errors have been discovered in the so-called
+official lists of those who obtained their information through
+Washington, as to greatly impair the value of those tables, and create
+much dissatisfaction among those who find an erroneous impression of
+their business thus
+<ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note&mdash;original text: dissemminated" id="dissem"> disseminated </ins>
+ through the country. Without claiming
+that our own are absolutely free from error, we are prepared to
+maintain their substantial correctness and their superiority to any yet
+offered to the public. The product here shown is greater than that
+stated earlier in this book. The returns on which that statement was
+made seem to have been incomplete at the time of publication, unless
+the fault lies in the transfer of figures or in the footings, a kind of defect
+from which few public documents of a statistical character are
+wholly free. The number of breweries here given is less than the
+former statement, owing to the omission of a considerable number of
+the smaller establishments, concerning which no satisfactory information
+could be obtained, and the further omission of those whose owners
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_188">[188]</span>were known to object to a publication of their business. The total
+product of all so left out is known to be inconsiderable, though it cannot
+be exactly ascertained.</p>
+
+<p>Those most apt to find fault with a public statement of the amount
+of their business are the smaller brewers, who sometimes fear that
+their business will suffer if it is known that they dispose of less beer
+than some rival. To such it may be said that a good business need not
+be a large one. There are plenty of men in the country who work on a
+comparatively small scale, and yet would not be induced to extend
+their operations. They make enough, as it is, to satisfy their wants,
+and they are not loaded down by the cares that attend a struggle to sell
+as much as possible. They fear no injury because their sale is not so
+large as that of some one else, and they are perfectly in the right, as
+experience shows. Still again, there are many small breweries to-day,
+that will be great fifteen or twenty years from now. We have shown
+in Appendix C something of the possibilities of sudden development
+in this business, and with the increasing taste for beer these opportunities
+will be better than ever. It is not against a brewery that it is
+small. Its product may be of the first quality, and it may be small
+simply because the owner does not care to have it large.</p>
+
+<p>Other considerations might be adduced, but it seems as if enough
+had been said to justify the printing of statistics prepared as are those
+here furnished, especially as they must be interesting to every one who
+makes a study of the beer question and wants as much and as varied
+information as he can obtain.</p>
