J. + + + + + 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. + +[Illustration: JACOB VAN ARTEVELDE, + + “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. + +[Illustration: MYNHER JACOBUS, + +Brewer and First Burgomaster of New Amsterdam (the present New York), +1644.] + +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. + +[Illustration: Gen^l WOLFE. + +SIGN OF GENERAL PUTNAM’S TAVERN IN BROOKLYN, CONN. + +_The original is now in the Rooms of the Historical Society, at +Hartford. Conn._] + +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. + +[3] _Galliæ et Hispaniæ frumento in potum resoluto spuma ita concreta +pro fermento utuntur; qua de causa levior illis quam ceteris panis est._ + +[4] _De fermento, sine quo ars alchemiæ perfeci et compleri non potest._ + +[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.” + +[5] Ein schoenes Buechlein von bereytung der wein und bier zu +gesundheit und nutzbarkeit der menschen gedruckt zu Erffurd durch +Melchior Sachssen zu der Archen Noe. + +[6] Fuenf Buecher von der goettlichen und edeln Gabe der +philosophischen hochteuren und wunderbaren Kunst Bier zu brauen.

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 +nachmals durch die ganze Welt ausgebreitet worden; weil aber etlicher +Orten der rauhe Luft dem Weinstock zuwider und folgsam, solcher in +dergleichen Orten nicht fruchtsam tuht, also hat der Menschen Witz ein +anderes Trunk erfunden welches nicht allein den Durst loeschet sondern +gleich dem Wein, auch den Tuermel in den Kopf bringt. + + [8] The common people would not sober stay, + Could find to cup or mouth the nearest way; + Enjoyed their life, and of the barley’s blood + Swilled day and night the brown and foamy flood. + +[8] Des Volks gemeine Horte blieb nicht hinten, + Es wusste Kneip’ und maul sehr wohl zu finden; + Im Hochgenuss des Seins, aus Schlauch und Fass + Soff’s Tag und nacht das edle braune Nass. + + +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. + +[14] In a coach house of the old _residenz_ in Munich, Bavaria. + +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. + + DRY BARLEY. DRY MALT. DIFFERENCE. + + Starch, 63.43 minus 48.86 14.57 + Proteic substances, 16.25 minus 15.99 0.26 + Dextrine, 6.63 plus 6.86 0.23 + Sugar, — plus 2.03 2.03 + Fatty matters, 3.08 minus 2.50 0.58 + 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. + + DR.

READING, PA. + +_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.

The direct investment however, is not the only thing to +be considered.

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. + + IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN BEER INTO THE UNITED STATES. + + Gallons.

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. + +[Illustration: JOSEPH SCHLITZ BREWING COMPANY. + +HENRY UIHLEIN, ALFRED UIHLEIN, Sup^t.

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.” + +We append tables showing the percentage of alcohol in a great variety +of wines, spirits, malt and fermented liquors, according to analyses +made by Brande, Gerhardt, Liebig, Prof. A. B. Prescott, Dr. Andrew Ure, +William Ripley Nichols, professor at the Technological Institute of +Massachusetts, and other chemists of well known reputation. + + PORTUGUESE WINES. + Port contains 14.27 to 25.83 per cent. of alcohol. + Bucella “ 18.49 “ “ “ “ + + SPANISH WINES. + Sherry contains 13.98 to 23.86 per cent. of alcohol. + Malaga “ 17.26 to 18.94 “ “ “ “ + + MADEIRA AND CANARY ISLANDS. + Madeira contains 14.9 to 24.42 per cent. of alcohol. + Malmsey “ 12.86 to 16.40 “ “ “ “ + + FRENCH WINES. + Claret contains 12.91 to 17.11 per cent. of alcohol. + Claret Chateau Latour “ 7.78 “ “ “ “ + Claret Vin Ordinaire “ 8.99 “ “ “ “ + Champagne “ 11.30 to 13.80 “ “ “ “ + Burgundy “ 12.10 to 16.00 “ “ “ “ + Hermitage “ 12.32 to 17.43 “ “ “ “ + Sauterne “ 14.22 “ “ “ “ + Frontignac “ 12.79 “ “ “ “ + + ITALIAN WINES. + Marsala contains 18.20 to 20.03 per cent. of alcohol. + Lacryma Christi “ 19.70 “ “ “ “ + Falernian “ 18.99 “ “ “ “ + + CAPE WINES. + Cape Madeira contains 18.11 to 22.94 per cent. of alcohol. + Constantia “ 14.50 to 19.75 “ “ “ “ + Muscat “ 18.25 “ “ “ “ + + PERSIAN WINE. + Sheraaz contains 12.95 to 19.80 per cent. of alcohol. + + BRITISH WINES, CIDER, ETC. + Grape contains 18.11 per cent. of alcohol. + Raisin “ 23.30 to 26.40 “ “ “ “ + Currant “ 20.55 “ “ “ “ + Gooseberry “ 11.84 “ “ “ “ + Orange “ 11.26 “ “ “ “ + Elder “ 8.79 “ “ “ “ + Mead “ 7.32 “ “ “ “ + Cider “ 5.21 to 9.87 “ “ “ “ + Perry “ 7.26 “ “ “ “ + + HUNGARIAN WINES. + Tokay contains 9.88 per cent. of alcohol. + Red Wine “ 13.20 to 19.04 “ “ “ “ + White Wine “ 12.10 to 12.16 “ “ “ “ + + GERMAN WINES. + Hochheimer contains 8.88 to 14.37 per cent. of alcohol. + Johannisberger “ 8.71 “ “ “ “ + Rüdesheimer “ 6.90 to 12.22 “ “ “ “ + Rhenish Wine “ 7.00 to 7.58 “ “ “ “ + + OHIO WINES. + According to analyses received from Messrs.

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.” + + DARIUS H. INGRAHAM of Portland. + GORHAM L. BOYNTON of Bangor. + F. B. FARREL of Van Buren. + ARTHUR MOORE of Machiasport. + +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.” + +[Illustration: WILLIAM PENN’S HOUSE AND BREWERY IN PENNSBURY, BUCKS +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.” + +[Illustration: _Fred Lauer_ + +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] + +[22] The original is in the possession of the New Haven Colony +Historical Society. + +[Illustration: WILLIAM PENN, + +The Quaker Brewer, and Founder of Pennsylvania, 1644-1718. (See page +26.)] + + PHILADELPHIA, December 11, 1762. + + “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. + +[Illustration: Belmont Avenue Brewery, + +NEWARK, N. J., + +GOTTFRIED KRUEGER, PROPRIETOR. + +_For historical sketch, see Appendix C, page 183._] + +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. + + + + + APPENDIX A. + + TOTAL PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF BEER IN VARIOUS + COUNTRIES AND CITIES. + + +The tables here given have been prepared with great care after a +thorough examination and comparison of authorities. The discrepancies +and errors discovered in various published statements of a similar +nature have made the task a difficult one, but it is believed that the +present results will be found substantially accurate. Table A gives +a list of the chief beer producing countries, with the population of +each, its annual product in hectoliters and gallons, the number of its +breweries and the production per head of population. The countries +are arranged in the order of product _per capita_.

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. + + + + + APPENDIX B. + + ANALYSES OF BEERS. + + +The following analyses will be found of interest to every student of +the beer question.[26] The first is from Professor Mulder’s work on +beer. + +[26] Additional analyses may be found in the body of the book, pages +97, 98 and 99. + + I.—BAVARIAN BEERS.

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. + + (Copy.) + + TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D. C., + + September 15, 1879. + + 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. + + (Copy.) + + 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. + + + + + SUMMARY + +OF THE BEER PRODUCT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE YEARS 1878 AND 1879, + WITH THE INCREASE OR DECREASE DURING THE SECOND OF THESE YEARS. + + + Name No. of No. of No. of Decrease Increase + of State Breweries Barrels Barrels + sold from sold from + May 1, May 1, + 1877-8. 1878-9. + Alabama, 1 184 74 110 + Arkansas, 1 110 72 38 + Arizona, 7 713 720 7 + California, 195 379,373 385,839 6,466 + Colorado, 29 23,901 23,464 437 + Connecticut, 19 53,528 51,988 1,540 + Dakota, 14 4,616 4,531 85 + Delaware, 3 7,841 9,563 1,722 + District 10 27,506 29,126 1,620 + Columbia, + Georgia, 1 7,330 7,710 380 + Idaho, 12 936 1,484 548 + Illinois, 115 579,888 608,627 28,739 + Indiana, 76 182,448 191,729 9,281 + Iowa, 136 186,176 169,030 17,146 + Kansas, 34 20,995 24,709 3,714 + Kentucky, 36 127,771 143,753 15,982 + Louisiana, 10 36,352 47,407 11,055 + Maine, 1 7,031 7 7,024 + Maryland, 63 208,228 205,042 3,186 + Massachusetts, 39 711,166 663,978 47,188 + Michigan, 140 203,043 212,231 9,188 + Minnesota, 114 101,916 113,529 11,613 + Missouri, 72 547,590 582,372 34,782 + Montana, 22 4,677 5,516 839 + Nebraska, 27 27,100 29,270 2,170 + Nevada, 35 12,116 13,969 1,853 + New Hampshire, 5 127,07 116,888 10,183 + New Jersey, 57 502,54 519,864 17,290 + New Mexico, 2 110 180 70 + New York, 365 3,556,678 3,980,716 424,038 + North 1 4 4 + Carolina, + Ohio, 186 968,332 965,480 2,852 + Oregon, 39 13,362 16,159 2,797 + Pennsylvania, 317 1,041,486 1,034,082 7,404 + Rhode Island, 8 25,210 27,831 2,621 + South 2 778 372 406 + Carolina, + Tennessee, 4 6,980 7,107 127 + Texas, 37 10,050 7,718 2,332 + Utah, 20 9,490 11,476 1,986 + Vermont, 1 285 173 112 + Virginia, 3 10,694 15,694 5,000 + Wash. 20 7,965 7,231 734 + Territory, + West Virginia, 10 23,086 23,906 1,036 + Wisconsin, 226 508,553 585,068 76,515 + Wyoming + Territory, 8 4,060 4,505 445 + ----- ---------- ---------- ------- ------- + 2,520 10,279,299 10,848,194 100,777 671,888 + + + LIST OF BREWERS IN THE UNITED STATES, WITH THE PRODUCT FOR + THE YEARS ENDING MAY, 1878, AND MAY, 1879. + + + ARKANSAS. + + Number of barrels sold. + 1878. 1879. + Fort Smith, Freiseis, Joseph, 110 72 + + + ARIZONA. + + Number of barrels sold. + 1878. 1879. + Alexandria, Minger, Jos. 54 50 + Florence, Will, P. & Co., 60 60 + Globe City, Medler, Fred & Co., 41 49 + Prescott, Raible, John, 225 269 + “ Rodenberg, J.

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> +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><div class="chapter"><p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_16">[16]</span></p> + + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_II">CHAPTER II.<br> +<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.

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> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="p0202_ill" > + <img class="w100" src="images/p0202_ill.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p class="center wsp">JACOB VAN ARTEVELDE,</p> + + + +<p class="hang1">“Brewer of Ghent,” Patrician, Orator and Ruler of the Province of Flanders.

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> +<div class="footnotes"> +<div class="footnote"> + +<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_1" href="#FNanchor_1" class="label">[1]</a> Celebrated for the famous white beer which was at that time largely exported +to Upper Silesia, Bohemia, Berlin, Hamburg, etc.</p> + +</div> +</div> +<figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="p0242_ill" > + <img class="w100" src="images/p0242_ill.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p class="center wsp">MYNHER JACOBUS,</p> + +<p class="center">Brewer and First Burgomaster of New Amsterdam (the present New York), 1644.</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_25">[25]</span></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> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="p0281_ill" > + <img class="w100" src="images/p0281_ill.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p class="center wsp">Gen<sup>l</sup> WOLFE.</p> + +<p class="center">SIGN OF GENERAL PUTNAM’S TAVERN IN BROOKLYN, CONN.</p> +<p class="center fs80"> <i>The original is now in the Rooms of the Historical Society, at Hartford.

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.

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 class="footnotes"><div class="footnote"> + +<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_2" href="#FNanchor_2" class="label">[2]</a><span lang="de"> Sieben Maas Bier per Tag vors graefliche Frauenzimmer war Vorschrift.</span></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—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> + +<div class="footnotes"><div class="footnote"> + +<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_3" href="#FNanchor_3" class="label">[3]</a> <i lang="la"> Galliæ et Hispaniæ frumento in potum resoluto spuma ita concreta pro fermento +utuntur; qua de causa levior illis quam ceteris panis est.</i></p> + +</div> + +<div class="footnote"> + +<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_4" href="#FNanchor_4" class="label">[4]</a> <i lang="la"> De fermento, sine quo ars alchemiæ perfeci et compleri non potest.</i></p> + +</div> +</div> +<figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="p0362_ill" > + <img class="w100" src="images/p0362_ill.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption">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, <i lang="la"> De cerevisia</i>.</figcaption> +</figure> + +<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 +theorist of the second epoch.

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.

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.

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> +<div class="footnotes"> +<div class="footnote"> + +<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_11" href="#FNanchor_11" class="label">[11]</a> To these should be added the celebrated beers of Cottbus, and the Karthuser +of Frankfort on the Oder.— <i>Author.</i></p> + +</div> + +<div class="footnote"> + +<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_12" href="#FNanchor_12" class="label">[12]</a> Wheat beer played an important rôle in the thirty years war. Wallenstein +himself was very much addicted to its use.</p> + +</div> +</div> +<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> +<div class="footnotes"> +<div class="footnote"> + +<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_13" href="#FNanchor_13" class="label">[13]</a> The Munich <span lang="de">“Fremdenblatt”</span> has lately expressed the same view.</p> + +</div> + +<div class="footnote"> + +<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_14" href="#FNanchor_14" class="label">[14]</a> + In a coach house of the old <i lang="de">residenz</i> in Munich, Bavaria.</p> + +</div></div> + +<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> +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><div class="chapter"><p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_47">[47]</span></p> + + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_IV">CHAPTER IV.<br> +<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—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> +<div class="footnotes"> +<div class="footnote"> + +<p class="noindent"><a id="Footnote_15" href="#FNanchor_15" class="label">[15]</a> Mr. Hayward died a short time ago at Albany, N. Y.</p> + +</div> +</div> +<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 +prohibits exporting the same.</p> + +<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> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp55" id="p0561_ill" > + <img class="w100" src="images/p0561_ill.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p class="center wsp">M.

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><span class="pagenum" id="Page_59">[59]</span></p> +<p>In Turkey, there are at Constantinople six breweries with +an annual product of about one hundred and twenty thousand +gallons.

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 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.

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 class="noindent"> +The <span class="smcap">Rev. W. F. Boole</span>, Brooklyn:<br> +</p> + +<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 +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_64">[64]</span>Register</cite> 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.”</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p class="right"> +<span style="margin-right: 8em;">Yours truly,</span><br> +<br> +(Signed) C. FEIGENSPAN.<br> +</p> +</div> + +<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> +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><div class="chapter"><p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">[68]</span></p> + + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_VI">CHAPTER VI.<br> + +<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> +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><div class="chapter"> +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">[74]</span></p> + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_VII">CHAPTER VII.<br> +<span class="chapt_sub">THE CONDITIONS AND PROSPECTS OF THE BEER TRADE.</span></h2> +</div> + +<div class="blockquot"> + +<p>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.

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 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> +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><div class="chapter"> +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_84">[84]</span></p> + + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_VIII">CHAPTER VIII.<br> +<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> + +<p>We append tables showing the percentage of alcohol in a +great variety of wines, spirits, malt and fermented liquors, +according to analyses made by Brande, Gerhardt, Liebig, +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> + + +<table class="autotable wd70">

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 class="figcenter illowp45" id="p1022_ill" > + <img class="w100" src="images/p1022_ill.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p class="center wsp">ISRAEL PUTNAM,</p> + +<p class="center"> <i>The great American General, Brewer and Tavern Keeper +at Brooklyn, Conn.</i> (1718-1790.)</p> + +<p class="center"> <i>See Page <a href="#Page_27">27.</a></i></p></figcaption> +</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> + +</div></div> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_108">[108]</span> +<div class="chapter"> +<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_X">CHAPTER X.<br> +<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 class="pad30p noindent"> +<span class="smcap">Darius H.

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—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.

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> + + +</div> +<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 +and the percentage of prisoners to the whole population:</p> + + +<table class="autotable wd70"> +<tr class="bb bt"> +<td class="tdc wd30"></td> +<td class="tdc bl wd20 allsmcap">Population.</td> +<td class="tdc bl wd20 allsmcap">No. of Prisoners.</td> +<td class="tdc bl wd20 allsmcap">Percentage of Prisoners to the Population.</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">Irish</td> +<td class="tdc bl">56,900</td> +<td class="tdc bl">14,673</td> +<td class="tdc bl">25.78</td> +</tr> +<tr class="bb"> +<td class="tdl">German</td> +<td class="tdc bl">5,606</td> +<td class="tdc bl">364</td> +<td class="tdc bl">6.49</td> +</tr> +</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> +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><div class="chapter"><p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_128">[128]</span></p> + + + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="CHAPTER_XI">CHAPTER XI.<br> +<span class="chapt_sub">WHAT AUTHORITIES SAY.</span></h2> +</div> + + +<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> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="p1321_ill" > + <img class="w100" src="images/p1321_ill.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"> +<p class="center"><span class="smcap">WILLIAM PENN’S HOUSE AND BREWERY<br> + in Pennsbury, Bucks County, Pa.</span> +<br> (See page <a href="#Page_26">26.</a>)</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<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.

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—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> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp60" id="p1482_ill" > + <img class="w100" src="images/p1482_ill.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p class="center"> <i>Fred Lauer</i><br> +HONORARY PRESIDENT UNITED STATES BREWERS’ ASSOCIATION</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The Hon.

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> + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_151">[151]</span></p> + +<div class="chapter"> +<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.

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.

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>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.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="p1622_ill" > + <img class="w100" src="images/p1622_ill.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p class="center"><span class="wsp fs120 lspp5">Belmont Avenue Brewery,</span><br> +<span class="smcap">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 class="center p2 pb2"> +<strong>BEER AGAINST WHISKY.</strong><br> +</p> +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><div class="chapter"><p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_166">[166]</span></p> + + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="APPENDIX_A">APPENDIX A.<br> + +<span class="chapt_sub">TOTAL PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF BEER IN VARIOUS +COUNTRIES AND CITIES.</span></h2> +</div> + + +<p>The tables here given have been prepared with great +care after a thorough examination and comparison of authorities. +The discrepancies and errors discovered in various +published statements of a similar nature have made the +task a difficult one, but it is believed that the present results +will be found substantially accurate.

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 + <ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note—original text: coroborate" id="coroborate">corroborate</ins> +all

class="chapt_sub">ILLUSTRATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF BREWERIES</span>.</h2> +</div> + +<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> + + +<table class="autotable wd70"> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1870,</td> +<td class="tdl">Barrels,</td> +<td class="tdr">8,707</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1871,</td> +<td class="tdl"><span class="pad2">“</span></td> +<td class="tdr">12,283</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1872,</td> +<td class="tdl"><span class="pad2">“</span></td> +<td class="tdr">30,868</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1873,</td> +<td class="tdl"><span class="pad2">“</span></td> +<td class="tdr">49,623</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1874,</td> +<td class="tdl"><span class="pad2">“</span></td> +<td class="tdr">69,624</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1875,</td> +<td class="tdl"><span class="pad2">“</span></td> +<td class="tdr">74,813</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1876,</td> +<td class="tdl"><span class="pad2">“</span></td> +<td class="tdr">71,017</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1877,</td> +<td class="tdl"><span class="pad2">“</span></td> +<td class="tdr">79,538</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1878,</td> +<td class="tdl"><span class="pad2">“</span></td> +<td class="tdr">82,068</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl">1879,</td> +<td class="tdl"><span class="pad2">“</span><span class="pad1"> ending April,</span></td> +<td class="tdr">110,832</td> +</tr> +</table> + + +<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—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> +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_183">[183]</span></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 & 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 & 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> +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><div class="chapter"><p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_185">[185]</span></p> + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="APPENDIX_D">APPENDIX D.<br> +<span class="chapt_sub">LIST OF BREWERS WITH PRODUCT FOR THE PAST TWO +YEARS, 1878 AND 1879.

ROGERS.</span><br> + <i>Acting Commissioner.</i><br> +</p> +</div> + +<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—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> +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"><div class="chapter"><p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_189">[189]</span></p> + + + +<h3 class="nobreak"
