^^ALIPOBNIA BRANDIES.— The market in dull, the only
^^ topic of intere8t being in connection with Uie fortification of
Bweet wine*. After conHiderahle trouble and telegraphiuK to
Washington, a modification in the interpn^tatiou of the new
Bww^ Wine Law has been obtained, pcnnitting vwre than one for-
tification of the wines while in process of manufacture. TIum

CommiflBkNMr Maaon granting this privile^ is as follows:
"I have the honor to infonn you that this day the following
tele^tnun was addressetl to Horace W. Byington, E«q., Collector of

of the alcohol so used, and to notify the party that assessments
will be made for the same shall it hen>after appear that the
additional alcohol was made necessarj' by their fault or n^li-
gence."
A similar telegram was also sent on the 17th instant to
William H. Sears, Esq., Collector of Internal Revenue at San
Francisco, Cal. Respectfully yours,
Beoeipta of brandy are very heavy but the exports are largely
in ezoeas of receipts. Our annual statement will be found in
another column.

situation is welcome to the h%<ling desilers. The stringency in

THE gEAK 1890.
Baewhere in this issue of the Rrview will be found the
llgnrea giving the total exports and imports of wines, brandies,
whiakieM, etc., for the year 18JK) with comparative rticords of other
years. It is without doubt the most compU-te and accurat*; annual
exhibit ever made in this city and as a statistical record will be
firand of great value to the trade and pro<lucers. It will be seen
that in nearly all lines there has t>een a marked increase in the
Tdune of businc-ss transacted, the exports by sea and rail of wine
malrlng a particularly good showing over those of 1K80. During
the year nearly 200,0(HJ gallons more were exported to New York
Iqraeaand there was a healthy growtii of trade with C^-ntral
America, Mexico, British Columbia, Hawaii and Tahiti, giving a
grand total by sea of 4,ir>(i,.')<):t gallons as against 3,945,235 in the
previoaa twelve months, or a gain of 206.108 gallons. The ex-
porta of eased wines to domestic iH)ints aggr«'gate<l 1240 cases as
compared with 607 cases in 1889 and to fcveign porta 7818, making
a total of 90S8 oases as against 5(i.'>» cases in 1889, or an increase
of over lllly per cent TTiis is highly gratifying as it indicates a
derekqiement of trade in a line greatly to >><> d«>sire<l.
One of the highly enoooraging featunti of the export tables
will be foond In the shipments of bulk wines overland. Tlie
shipments of cased goods by rail have not, up to the present time,
been obtainable, but we hope to give a monthly statement of
these exports in the columns of the Rkview hereafter. The cx-
portations from San Francisco were more than 400,000 gallons in
excess of those of 1889. Sacramento shows an increase of over
200,000 gjillons and Stotrkton nearly 50,000 gallons; and we have
a grand total of rail shipments of 4,941, <)89 gallons as against
3,945,794 for the preceding year. This gives an increase which
lat^ks but a few gsillons of being a round million, and shows that
thert^ has lHH»n a very rapid expansion of the wine business in the
east during the yojir just passed.
For the grand total of all wine exports we have 9,091,997
gjillons and 9,258 cases for 1890, against 7,920,9'59 gallons and
5,658 cases in 1888. We thus have a total gain for the past year
1,171,058 gsiUous and 3,400 cases, which is the best showing that
has been made in the California wine business for many a year.
By reference to the tables showing receipts of wine in San
Francisco from interior cellars, it will 1 e seen that they were
11,561,076 gallons oi- 1,037,572 gallons in excess of those of 1889
and 79,486 gallons less than the total exports for the year.
In the exportations of brandy there was but a slight increase,
the total being 600,097 gallons and 436 ca-ses, as against 590,265
gallons in the previous year. Receipts of brandy in San Fran-
cisco for the twelve months were slightly more than in 1889 and
59,740 gallons less than the total exports for 1890, showing that
the reserve stocks were drawn on to this extent.
There was a heavy growth in the exports of whisky by sea,
the total being 4732 cases and 31,189 gallons.
The importations of whi kies by rail and sea show that these
gomls are being more extensively liandle<l in this market than
ever before, the rail imports having been 3973 cases and 15,442^
barrels, and those by sea from Atlantic ports 275 cases and 4153
barrels. The foreign and re-importetl whisky aggregate<l 4188
cjises, 1560J barrels, 275 octaves and 542J casks. During the
same periwl the imports of spirits and alcohol were 28,028 bar-
rels and these figures show that the whisky imports are fast
csitching up with those of spirits.
In the tables of importations of foreign champagnes will be
found conclusive proof that the people of this coast are fast
becoming champagne drinkers. The imports for 1890 were
25,267 cases and baskets, an increase of 3159 cases over importa-
tions for 1889 and 5122 cases over those of 1888. A better
indication of the healthy growth of trade in this line could not be
shown in any part of the United States, and we doubt if it could
l>e equaled. These figures do not include the large quantity of
champagne produced in this city.
From the fon^oing facts it will be readily seen that the year
1890 brought a substantial increase in nearly all branches of the
wine and liquor trade, a fact upon which the Review congratulates
its patrons with the wish that 1891 may be even more prosperoUB.
ATN APOLOGg.
We owe an apology to the patrons of the Review for the delay
which has occumnl in getting out this issue. Work on this
!mml)er has been kept up almost night and day, but it was impossi-
ble to issue the Review in its new form sooner, and we hope its
increastnl excellence will Ix* deemtnl an ample excuse for our other
short comings. This (nlition is a large one and will be sent broad-
cast thn)ugliout the United States.
Joseph R. Peebles' Sons Company of Cincinnati, who are the
largest distributors of "Pepper" whisky, in the trade, and who
rea^ntly ci'lebrate<l the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of
their house, have sent out a magnificent wmvenir of the occasion.
It is in the form of a white silk iNinner, attached to an ornamen-
tal bronze Iwr. The striking feature of the banner is a colored
lithograph of a large spniy of splendid navel oranges.

■HA-RASZTHg O/N FI/NE WI/NES.
Ill regard to fine wines I think that our greatest success lies
in the future, because heretofore none of us engaged in the busi-
ness have looked for anything but goo<l bearers and have been
satisfied with an average quality of wine. It is only within the
last seven or eight years that any extended notice has been given
to the higher grades. In the early days there were few or no
wine makers who would exchange a yield of 'five and six tons of
grapes to the acre for one or two tons by planting the finer
varieties.
Some hea<lway in the right direction has been made in the
last seven or eight years, on a small scale it is true, and possibly
just to see how the experiment would turn out. The people who
are experimenting are not generally found among the large
growers, but are more likely to be discovered jimong the hills and
retired nooks in the counties nearest the bay. I find that they
have worked cautiously. Most of them are men of small property
and limited means, and do the greater part wf the work them-
selves. I think that the finest wines of the State will eventually
be found to have been made by just this class of viticulturists.
They have time and they use it properly; they have ambition
and follow it. They do not reckon their time at so many dollars
an hour. Very likely it will require some length of time before
their products are appreciated, but the time will come either in
their lives or in those of their children following. I know several
people, the exact counterpart of those above described, and
believe them the forerunners of a new era of wine making in our
State.
Small quantities of wine have been produced on accidentally
discovered soil, with the proper grapes planted thereon, and these
have given in a few instances, very fair results — wines that com-
mand the approval of their quality of any true connoisseur or bon
vimnt, provided he always divests himself of any prejudice of
country, climate or race. The latter is very hard for ninety-
nine of every one hundred wine drinkers tto do. Even with
the presentation of the finest of our products — products that
would rank with the better classes of foreign wines — the remark
is made in a patronizing manner, galling to the true Californian
presenting the wines, that the "wine is very good for California."
These people evidently forget, or never knew, that there are
no two vineyards in the world which make a wine exactly alike.
Nevertheless differences are found even among the higher classes,
where there is such an enormous difference of character — only
the type remaining the same. Our critics limit our quality to
the present standard of ordinary wines and are loth to admit that
we can produce anything better than that, whereas any number
of small lots of wine that have been made in the last six or seven
years, are fully capable of holding their places among the finer
grades of European wines.
The future of fine wines in this State depends upon the
willingness to sacrifice quantity to quality, and to wait patiently
for an income, coupled with the good luck of being able to find
the varieties best suited to the different soils, and to the different
climates. I mention especially climate because within the last
ten years I have concluded that in our State at least, climate is
even more important, within reasonable limits, than the soil, in
giving quality from certain types, notably those of the Medoc
red varieties. Our future red wines of high type will no doubt
be limited to three or four varieties now grown in the Medoc
district on the Gironde, and to some extent already in California,
and I believe that a lasting monument ought and possibly will
be erected to the Great Unknown of France who discovered and
first planted the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Cabernet Franc.
These grapes will produce the grand wines of the future, as they
have done in the past around Bordeaux. I think that every
vineyard within forty miles of the ocean, from San Diego to
Siskiyou counties should have an acre or two of these varieties
planted irrespective of the quantity produced, in order to join in
a grand effort to discover where the propw soil lies and the right
climate can be had to produce the highest type of wine capable
of being made from these grapes. It is only through such general
efforts and public spirit that these facts can be made known; and
that we will be enabled to discover the choice spots of land which
will carry the renown of our viticultural products to the ends of
the earth.
I have matle up my mind that red wines are often left too
long in the packages before bottling and sold too soon after
bottling. There is a certain bottle flavor discovered in good
ordinary wines from Europe, which is entirely lacking in our own.
I understand the reason why w6 have not gone more extensively
into this branch of wine handling. It is atributable partly to
the great cost of bottling, the additional capital required, the
contingent formation of sediments and the consequent discolora-
tion of wines, the precipitation of albuminous substances and
other causes. The sediments occur partly fi-om improper fermen-
tation in making the wine, but mostly from our anxiety to hurry
the wines from an unclear to a bright state, and likewise from
bottling before the wines are as bright as they should be. There
is a way — though a costly one — to rid wines of these sediments.
This is by decanting the bottle. It may be costly, but I believe
that in a few years it will be found that a large number of con-
sumers will quite willingly pay the additional cost in recognition
of the added quality.
The future of our fine wines of course will depend upon our
ability to discover the proper class of soils and climate. That
the business of making and marketing these wines will pay, I
have no doubt. I have, in my own experience, found many
people who are willing to pay a fair price for a first-class article.
Of course there will always be those who will think that though
California wines may be as good in their several classes as French
wines, they ought to be sold at a much lower price. This is
unfair, barring the difference in freight and duty. If the quality
of our wines is as good as the wines of France and Germany, then
we should receive the same remuneration which is paid for the
vintages of those countries. If our wines are better, we should
receive a better price. In my mind there is nothing that will
prevent us from making the production and sale of our fine wines
as profitable as is the sale of the limited proportion of fine wines
produced in France and Germany. Therein lies the possibility
of making one's own price when we have a larger number of con-
sumers who will be willing to pronounce upon the quality of the
wine, before examining the label or cork brand, or inquiring
where the wine came from.
The vine growers of California have had uphill work. They
are not yet at the apex of prosperity nor of the quality of their
products. With all that they have to contend with, they have
made great strides in breaking down prejudice, and in teaching
the people that California produces wines of many qualities, the
largest number of which are agreeable and drinkable. They have
also made a more restrictedquantity of the better quality of wines,
and still smaller quantities which attract attention and admira-
tion from those competent to judge.
With the education of the masses, the deserved recognition
will come. I can remember the time when the old red Mission,
with all its harshness and defects, was drank and approved. Now
such wines are rare in this market, and usually find their way
into the stills. The day is near at hand, I believe, when the gilded
youth of the East will Strike upon the idea of being Americans and
of patronizing America. It will have become tame, by reason of
travel of our people in European countries, to hear the same old
song — admiration and exaltation of the products of the Old Country
when ours are so much more favored by Nature, soil and climate.
Those days which are to come, will be the halcyon times of our
State, and let us hope that they will soon come.

DOCTOKED FRENCU WINES.
Paris, France, December 19, 1890.
"The Minister of Justic<; hiw instructwl the police to prtise-
outo sellers of win(' containing iulphurU- acid. The side of wine
treated with pliu<ter of paris will lie tolerated until April Ist."
Here is a ta4-it admission on the part of the French wine
producers ami Uicked by their government, of the adultenition of
wine sent to the outside liarbarians; for the laws of France are
verj' wven- and the |M>nalti<>s, imprisonment and confiscation for
the adultenition of wine or food for home consumption. To
illustrate |K'r contni how c^wily it is to change public opinion and
ditftroy the prejudice of national Aiiglomaniacism and the fallacy
that "nolhiiuj if fit In rtit, drink or tmir, Ihnt doe« not hear the impreux
of a foreign labd,'' see whitt our California dri«'«l fruits have ac-
complish in len than a de<ii4le. Foreign i»runes to make them

bmndM, and we ran ccrtaiidy a<roniplish this ''devoutly to be
wisluil <-onsnmmation"forour wim-s by carrying out the object of
this commuiiicalion — to wit; market our lieat wincH, Inittled at
home and under their true names.
Afl4T jK-rsistent effort we have suc<'ee<le<l in obtaining a nitc
of freight on <iu«hI wiiieH. which enables us to lay our wines in
glaiirdown at ^^lstem cfmiinoii iKiints at fair nit<-s, although the
railroad eom|mnies i-onld n-nder iis much more UMsistanw, by
making the nit«'.s of cum%\ win. thtm mrlixul rates lower
aud more etjuitable.
The fact that ourgiKwl wines have Ikm'u nH-ogniwMl by French
iind'({i*rniaii (■onnoisseurs, should encourage the policy which I
have ailvi^Kiiti-il. Ix't every grower and (h-alcr guard religiously
his braiuls, exercistithe same care, pa tienceantl finesse iu handling
and iHittliug as our comiK'titors of the old wine countries, and
we will solve not oiilj' the qni^tion of protw^tion but the cvila of
prohibition. When the AmeriKin Im^couk^ a wine instead of
a spirit drinker we will havi? no more use for sumptuary laws,
for we will have Ih-coiuc a tcin|M'nit<' nation.
What further incentive to greater elTortft is nee<lcd by the
grower or dealer than the ex[K'rieuc(' (')f the hwt ten yeiirH in the
history of the wine trade of this Statel Ten years ago our Wines
were <-<)mparatively unknown, our exjtorts not a tenth of the
prt'Si'ut and our home consumption a bagatelle. To-day our ex-
ports are ten million gallons of wine, a million of braitdy,
and our home consumption (the Pacific C'oawt) nearly six million
giillons. Bi'sides, our exports to Mexico, Centnil America the
Pacific Islands, China and Japan, an* steadily increa.siug and
Fr:inc«> is looking with longing eyes to our virgin 'viands and our
e<iuable climate to replace her phylloxenv-strickeu and depU't<'d
vin(!yards. Will it not surprise the ordinary reader to learn that
France, the oiure leading prwlucer of wine iu the w'orld, imported
a third more of wine than she grew or exiwrtwl in 1889-90? These
are undeniable facts, and gathered f;om official statistics from our
Consular reports. When one refk-cts that France in 187() reached
her maxiinuin in pro<luction of wine — nearly two bUlions of g-al-
lon.s — aud iu 1880 her output fell to al>out Six hundred million
— cause phylloxera — a loss of one billion, four liundretl million
gallons, ami from which she has never up to. this day recujierated;
and when the city of Paris alone con.sumes one liuiidred
million gallons of wine per annum or more than double the
quantity consumed by the Unittnl States, what a field for our en-
terprise' and our wine industry is opened! California with every
f(M)t of amble land in her great domain susceptible of viticultui-e
is destined iu time to l)ecome the vineyard of the world; but we
cannot wait for the grape or its juice to drop into our mouths.
Ix^t us agitate and educate the world to our virgin aud unlimited
resources renew our efforts to proiluce excellence, stamp out
adulterations, market our wines under their true names, ask the
State's ai<l in enforcing our pure wine law, aud I am sure the next
dwade will show greater results financially and place our gnuil
industry on a siu-e and prosperous footing.

CASED GOO-DS I/N THE EAST.
In response to your note requesting me to state in what con-
dition I found the Eastern Market, (luring my recent trip in the
oast, and in what particuUvr direction the greatest improvement
was shown, I can say that a liiarked increase in volume is shown
in all lines of the California wine trade, but most particularly
in cased goods.
The increase in the cheap bulk wine sales seems to be only
normal with the increase of population, or in territory newly
opened up by California wine houses. My experience in now
territory has been that sales are made more through inducements
in price than through any merits of the goods offered. Conse-
quently should the wines furnished be good of their class the
quicker will the consumption increase and the sooner will a de-
mand create itself for fine bulk wines and together with it for
cased goods.
As a sample of the slow increase of trade where poor wines
were originall}' introduced I can cite no better instance than New
Orleans and adjacent territory, although I can now say with
pleasure that after remaining stationary for a long period there
has developed during the past two years a healthy demand for
our fine wines in both wood and glass.
In remarking on the phenomenal growth of the trade in
wines bottled in California, and "Which I found on the wine lists
of many Eastern Hotels under the labels of reputable California
bottlers, I must state we owe much to the action of the railroads
some time ago in reducing the rate on wines in glass to the same
figure as that for wines in wood, when in car lots. This advan-
tage has been greater than we at first realized, for it has enabled
the large Eastern houses to handle our cased goods With a reason-
able profit, even if they make only the difference between the
car load and less than car load rate on the freight.
I am glad to state that many Eastern jobbers and more par-
ticularly the wholesale grocers are pleased to avail themselves of
this means of getting their fine wines in cases, for they realize
with us, that owing to their unfamiliarity with delicate wines
and inexperience in bottling, that no matter how fine the wine
miiy have been in wood, the article when bottled by them falls
far below their expectations, and so discourages them in their
attempts to handle our fine products. This is obviated when
wines are purchased direct in glass. It enables buyers to handle
them as any other article connected with their business and also
guarantees them, when dealing with a reputable house, fi'om loss
when any bottling turns out below its standard, which happens
oeeassionally with the best of bottlers.
Notwithstanding the inducements offered in freights by the
railroads and in the case of the Pullman Palace Car Co., which, I
think I am reliably informed, has no freight whatever to pay on
their supplies, many hotels and restaurants buy California labeled
wines bottled under name of some Eastern house at prices which
should secure them the best product of our vineyards,' but which
in quality I should consider a disgrace to any of our reputable
bottlers. On the Pullman cars as a whole, biit tnore particularly
on those east of the Mississippi the wines are horrible and As I
have before stated, bore the label of an Eastern house. I was
obliged to send back the wine, but what was worse than the wine
was the unsolicited information from the Dining Car Conductor
that the wine served me was the best California wine they
could obtain, and if I desired a more palatable article I should
take recourse in tlieir foreign labels. All this to me seems
wrong. If dictated by parsimony it is contemptible in a corpora-
ation of this character, for the matter of a few dents does not
deter the traveling American from obtaining what he desires. If
for any otluji- cause, it shows either the inability of their purchas-
ing agents to select a good^ article or a prejudice in favor of some
local acquaintance.
A ridiculous custom which I am sorry to state is practiced
more by California bottlers than by Eastern houses is that of
placing on their labels "California Wine, Medoc Type" or "Pro-
duced from cuttings obtiiinod fi'om the celebratetl Yquem Vine-
yards," etc. This is wrong: first, because wine if produced from
cuttings obtained from these vineyards can hardly be said to even
resemble wines from these vineyards; second, if they l)ear the
word California at .ill, the consumer drinks them on their own
merits only, utterly ignoring ajjy claim of foreign descent. This
lea.d8.pie to remarl^ that if California wine men desire to build
up a permanent an^l liisting reputation for their products they
must sti<!k to names now in vogue among themselves or at lcas.t
to names whi(!h have no connection or suggestion of the foreign
market. If they desire for sj)ocial purposi! names more euphon-
ious than can be supplied by the English language they can with
propriety use words of Spanish derivation now applied to many
localities of this state, of coui-se avoiding those names which are
used by well known Spanish vinej'ards.
Now, if all Californians visiting the East, and appreciating
a good glass of their own country's product, would follow Senator
Stanford's example and insist upon having none other than Cali-
fornia bottling placed before them, our wines would lead the
lists at the prominent hotels and restaurants instead of occupying
the obscure place they do at present.
After having now stated the progress I found and the points
of demerit in tlic trade methods, let me suggest that your paper
can lend us material aid by publishing the exports of cased goods
by rail.

THE LIVE-RMO-RE DIST-RICT.
The famous white and red wines of the Livermore Valley
are certainly among the best produced in the state. The valley
has an elevation of about 600 feet above sea level and up to tlifi
present time has been entirely free from the most destructive in-
sect pests and baffling diseases which are met with in other sec-
tions.
The vines which produce the most famous of our wines have
been imported from France and other countries and the quality
of the wine made by the careful vintners has been and is such as
to commend the highest admiration of connoisseurs in this country
and abroad. Our wines received at the Paris Exposition, two out
of the three gold medals awarded to California for wines only, one
of which was won by my wines.
I have found in my experience that it is positively necessa,ry'
to keep the red wine in wood not less than fi'om four to five yearS^
before bottling or placing on the market in bulk. The white'
wines of this valley should be kept from three to four years ac-
cording to the vintage.
Our red wincs^ when properly handled, are noted for their
fine color, bouquet and softness, and the white wines are dis-
tinguished by their beautiful greenish jellow color and a bouquet
and flavor which' Mother Nature gives only to the finest wines of
Europe. Our best wines compare favorably with the fiimoua*
Medoc Clarets and with the Sauterne, Burgundy and Chablis of
France which have been known for centuries as the Ixist wines of
the world.
The valley can also produce a Rhine wine which will vie
with the famous "Johannisberg."
To produce such wines it is necessary to have a peculiar com-
bination of soil and climate supplemented by the planting 6f the
finest varieties of grapes and with it an unusual degree of skill
on the part of the wine-maker and cellar-master.
These natural and acfjuired advantages we have in the
Livermore Valley to a marked degree and our wines stand pre-
eminent among those of the country.

ten»|«Te<l l>y the m'a bn-cze w well adapte<l to grape growing and
thin would include nearly all the coa^t counties of the 8tat«.
From a collection of four hundrecl varieties, I would select
the following varieties for re<l winm in the order uained, viz.
Bewae, Mondeum>, Durifl^, Beclaii, K«>fosco, Alicante Bouschct,
Moarafltel Bouschet and Petite Bouschet. These arc all good
bearers and strong growers except the Beclan and Duriff. While
the BouHi'hets do not make fine wines, they are valuable for their
color. The Cabernet Uauvignon does not bear enough to be profit-
able and neither does the llalbec. The Serene resembles the
FMit4> Sirrah in every resijoct and fully equalH it in quality, but
baa the additional advantage of being a good regular bearer. It
ia alao called Marsanne Noir and Petite Sirrah ,but is quite different
in the quantity of its fruit. The Mondeuse is a good bearer and
ri|>enH two or three wwks later, which is very desirable. It is
called also Gros Sirrali and its wine is very similar in character
and quality to the Petite Sirrah. The winos of both are very
dark, high flavored and contain an abundance of tannin.
For white winos I would select in the order named, Pedro
Ximines, Semillon Blanc, Listan, Pinot Chardonay and Burger.
The Listan is known as Golden Chasselas, and the Ximines, as
Saovignon Verte. These an; all good bearers and vigorous
growers. The first two when allowed to hang on the vine until
they contain thirty per cent sugar, make a very gootl Sauteme
when pr«H)erly handled. When gathered at twenty-two per cent,
they make a fine wine of the Ri(«ling type, and blended with
more or leas Burger, niakes a distinctive Hock. The Listan and
Burger blended make a wine of the Chasselas type. The Pinot
Chardonay gathenxl at twenty per cent produces the renowned
Chablis.
The next requisite for fine wine is a quick and perfect fer-
mentation. The white graixw when crushed siiouUl lie on the
skins twenty-four hours, then pressed out and the must put into
■hallow open tanks to avofd a violent fennentation. When the
■agar has been reduced by fermentation to four or five per cent,
the wine should Ije puminnl into flouble-luiulcil tanks which should
be fillwl uji once a (hiy until the fermentation is finished and the
wine cooled off. Jn Dc«emt)er the wine should be drawn off into
Btrongly sulphured tanks and clarifietl with one jmuud of the be«t
gelatine and four ounces of tannin to the thousjuid gallons. Rack
again in two w«<ks and again in two months anil again in three
months by which time the wine will be clear, sound and in a
stable c-ondition. The sooner the young wine can be frcnnl from
all impure and foreign Hulwtanw's which endanger its life, the
betU'r. It will then rijH'n and develoin; quickly and safely. All
that is required now is racking at the projK'r time and blentling
until the wine is old enough for use when it should have another
fining and tlm><' ounc4>s of tannin.
The red grajies should be crushed and stemmc<l into open
tanks. As noon as fermentation is over pn-ss them, and jmt the
wine into tight tanks. Knck anfl clarify them in Dt^oemljer and
rack every two months thensifter, not burning any sulphur, or
very little, in the empty Unks. When old enough for use, they
ahoald lie clarifie<l again as in the case of the white wines.
B<Hh red and whiU; wines are usually throe years old before
they are liottle riIK^ B..fore InUtling they should Ik- drawn off
into small piickag.* of fn.ni fifty to <,n(. hnndn^l and sixty gal-
lons and elarifle<l with isinglass. In two weeks they sli<»uld be
raeke*! and allowed to stand for one month in order to become
brilliant wlnni they are ready for bottling which should be dcMie
in cltrar weather. The standard French bottles for claret, for
Sautome and Cc^ac only should be used, and the long amber and
green Rhine wine bottles for the white wines. The lal)els should
Ix' plain, neat and representative. They should be a uniform dis-
tan«^ from the bottom of the bottle, say from one to one and one
half inches. User only ttie best corks and not too long, about one
and one quarter inches so as not to show below the cap. The
eye must be pleased in order to catch the palate.

The passage of the Sweet Wine bill will assuredly lead to an
increased pro<luction of sweet wines, and will bring into the busi-
ness many people who have hitherto been precluded from manu-
facturing such wines. The market for our product is an extensive
one, and will no doubt be develope<l to a still greater extent. It
is to be hoped that all the producers and those intending to
become such will make it a point to see that the standard of
excellence is maintained and improved from year to year.
The brandy situation is extremely favorable— much more so
than as regards wine. A good article commands a reatly sale at
remunerative figures, and the prices that are realiwHl are much
better than a ye^r ago, while the general tone of the market is
infinit«!ly better. As soon as the eastern sweet wine makers
are permitted to use our brandies for fortification, free of Internal
Revenue taxes, the prices will take another leap ui)ward.
Our brandies arc improving right along as to quality. Our
distillers are more careful than they ever were before, and the
proportion of pomace brandies to the entire pro<luct is Incoming
loss with each year. Other uses for pomace aside from distillation
are being taken advantage of, much to the improvement of our
brandies as a class.
The methods of distillation are superior to what they were
in times gone by. The continuous still, which is in very general
use, wrought a great improvement in the average quality of all
our brandies, it being much easier for the average distiller to
make a brandy that will meet with the approval of buyers in
them, than in the old-fasliioned apparatus. Then it has become
generally known among distillers, after years of talking and
struggling against prejudices, that only white wines should bo
distilled. It does not seem nowadays that it would be difficult
to have this admitted by the distillers, but they were longer in
learning this lesson than might be supposed.
The next 8t*;p in the brandy business will be the establisli-
ment of brands. Several of the larger producers, I am glad to
see, have moved in that direction, and the success that has
attended them is certain to act as an incentive to others. Yet it
is doubtftd if there are more than six or seven brands which are
genemlly known. The number will increase as time go«« on
and the brandy business gets on the footing towmls which it is
gradually drift mg.
In my opinion the distilling interest is destined to assume a
greater relative importance in the viticultural industrv than it
now occupies. The distillers in every part of the State "are all in
g«KMl sj.uits over the prospect which is b«'fore them, and thowine
inak.'rs genemlly fi-el more interest in it than has Umm, the laise
m any i»eno«l in the past history of viticulture in California

OLD SO/NOMA'S WI/NES.
S A/NT A e-RClZ WI/SES.
The vines in the Sonoma District are in an excellent condi-
tion, excepting in the Sonoma and Los Guilicos valleys, and in
the lower end of Bennett valley in all of which the phylloxera is
still extending. In Santa Rosa, Mark West, Windsor, Russian
river, Healdsburg, Geyserville and Cloverdale the vines are in a
thriving condition, but as a rule large yields to the acre are not
expected, as most of the vineyards are situated on uplands and
on the hill slopes. The yield to the acre is therefore relatively
smaller than on the heavy soils in some other sections.
The quality of the wine if properly handled, is equal to the
product of any other section in the State. Sonoma wines have
always borne a deservedly high reputation, and the vintages of
recent years have sustained their good name in every part of the
country. The vintage of 1890 is superior to anything that we have
ever produced. When it is placed on the market it will greatly
increase the reputation of the wines among all people whose
opinions are worth consideration.
Replanting has been carried on to some extent, but not as
largely as it should be, as the people are somewhat discouraged
over their experiences during the period of depression which is
passing away. The expense of planting resistants is so consider-
able that many people are deterred from setting out such vine-
yards while the immediate prospects for returns are so small.
As for the market for our wines, I can only speak for myself.
My wines have met with very encouraging sale, and that they
have been received well the many complimentary letters received
from my agents show. It is my experience that there is always a sale
for good wines. The average quality of all the wines produced
in the State is so much superior to the quality which obtained a
few years ago, and is improving so rapidly that there will be a
very satisfactory extension of the better class of trade.
Our future success in the eastern field depends to a very
great extent on our ability to place a fine class of case goods
before the consumers. In fact the very key note of business
success is in our ability to do this. The eastern trade has out^
grown the big bulk method of doing business, though this will
always be carried on to a great degree. In order to meet the
requirements of the new trade which is springing up it is desir-
able that the bottling should be done in the cellars of the produc-
ers, unless done in the east by thoroughly reliable men.
New York is now our best market, and will be, I think, for
all time to come. Chicago is second and is apt to remain so.
New centers are constantly assuming importance, such as Mil-
waukee and Kansas City. As for New Orleans, there is some
demand for the better grade of goods and always will be, though
I think that the trade conditions there are apt to remain where
they are for some little time yet.
In aiding the growth of the demand for the better class of
goods the Viticultural Commission has exerted as marked and as
meritorious a service as it has and is exerting in promoting the
industry in California. The Commission has endeavored to cover
the whole ground from the preparation of the soil for planting, to
the marketing of the wine. If the Commission has failed in any
particular it is not through any laxity or wilful failure. It has
been remarkably successful in most respects, as shown by the
work that has been accomplished, and the correspondence which
has been received from every wine growing country. Our work
is considered careful and absolutely reliable by the best authorities
of Europe, which are the best in the world.
Santa Cruz county is entering, or has already entered into a
new era in wine making. The Mission, Rose of Peru, Hamburg,
so called Black Malvoise, and Charbouo vines are condemned for
the Cabernet,Semillon,SauvignonVert, Sirrah and Pinot. Not that
the vines of quantity are all eliminated, would that they were half
or third eliminated, but they are no longer being planted, and
are being grafted over as fast as circumstance will permit. Indeed
you can find some vineyards in the county entirely devoted to
vines of quality; others where not even the Mataro, Mondeuse, or
Tannat is tolerated, though on the other hand the Zinfandel and
Chauche Gris are retained; the former for its admirable blend with
twenty per cent Cabernet, the latter for its unquestionable adapta-
tion to Champagne.
Besides the new ideal in vines, the system of vinification
which that ideal calls for is essayed and the practices of the Rhine
and Gironde sought after. Whether always wisely I am not
called on to answer.
Moreover there is a call for underground storage of wines,
and there have been built lately a few winehouses which have
cellars down twenty feet in the ground beneath them, while the
Santa Cruz Wine Company have three tunnels each 110 feet deep
in the solid rock by 16 to 24 broad and 18 high.
Considering all this then, I think that the prospects of the
future of wine-making in Santa Cruz county are good; that is,
good as to the kind of wine to be made.
Whether or not the devotion to the high class vines and to
the vinification of their products will pay in Santa Cruz county
is an open question with some, but the devotees point to the pres-
ent ruinous prices for common wines, not in America alone, but
in Europe, and to the slight probability of any improvement
especially in the face of improper restriction of adulteration. They
show too that placed as they are on the sloping hillsides, they
have no chance against the vignerons of the valleys whose capac-
ity for production will surely drown them; that where they can't
hold their own in quantity they must in something else, and that
else they maintain is quality. In other words, they say it is
high class vines with us or death, if not aU at once, not the less
painful. Moreover they triumphantly call attention to their
unique position overlooking the bay of Monterey, whence comes
to them the ever fresh and balmy south wind — a wind tamed
and tempered into simple life giving ozonic properties of the
great north west and to their protection from all the cold blasts
and true northers by the Santa Cruz range. With this, they add
combined with the soil of Montillo and Malaga what should we
not achieve? If answered that no soil or aspect outside of Europe
has given the equivalent of that in it, and therefore the pursuit
of the high class notion except in Europe is irrational, they beg
attention to the fact that this is a non-sequeter, inasmuch as the
French experts at the great Vienna exhibition, according to
Vizetelly's governmental reports, adjudged that the Hermitage of
the colony of Victoria was no other than fine wine of the Drome
sent to Australia and back, and insisted on their judgment, and
refused to taste farther till a distinct official declaration was
given them that the wine was not French Hermitage.
The vines of the Gironde and the Rhine may lose their pres-
ent favor in Santa Cruz county, where, with the exception of one
hundred acres, the counterpart of the soil of Medoc is nowhere
found, though in this one hundred acres thej are, just as if they
been transplanted from Medoc; but certainly the vines of the
Cote d'Or will grow in esteem, since they have been found to be
perfect for champagne, and promise to rival Montrachetndeed. I
should the future of Sauta Cruz county veer round from its pres-
ent bearing towards the Rhine and the Gironde to that of the
Cote d'Or, I for one should not wonder. Some men are in earnest
here, possibly in too much hurry.

In the neighborhood of St. Helena every year since 18C1 a
eouKiderable numlK'r of aen>« were planted with vines. From
here the excitement in thi« linespreatl south towanls Kutherford,
Oakville and to Napa. The number of acres of vineyard in the
county in 1S7() was al)out four thousand, over half In'longing to
the St. Ili'lena district. Ihisiness looked very promising then.
The white grape vines, representetl mostly the character of the
Oennan vines as Riesling. Gutedel, and Burger, a great
many of which were received from San Jose and (Jreen Valley,
Holano county and some directly imj)ortcd from the Rhine. The
Golden C^asselas — proj)er name Palomino, a Spanish variety —
was personally brought herefrom Chili by a man named Schmidt,
then the pniprietor of a small vineyard next to the Nai)a Soda
Springs. A groat deal of white wine wiis that time also pro-
«lnre<i from Mission grapes. The Zinfandel and Malvoisie were
prociinHl from Sonoma.
After 1870 the price of wines commenced to go down. Sev-
eral energetic parties tried then to dispose of their products by
estnbli.«hing winehouses in the Eastern States and in San Fran-
cisco. Some 8uc-ceede<l well. The Sonoma, Napa and Solano
Wine Growers Association assisted this plan, besides dissemina-
ting information in regard to viticulture and the improvement of
the ('hanu'ter of the wines. Major Snyder, of Sonoma, at that
time one of the best known citizens of the state, acted as Presi-
dent and Dr. Ijockwood, of Napa, as Secretary. Napa city was
usually the place for our meetings as only a few parties of Sonoma
county had joine<l us. Signs of improveuK nt of pri(*es for grapes
and wines soon appeare<l. The estiiblishmc iit of a large wine-
house in the city aided the rise in value. By and by a new en-
thusiasm for viticjilture grew up. Napa count j' boasted of about
t'U thousiind acres of vineyard, which amount aft -r 1880, par-
ticidarly after the organization of the Viticultural Commission,
soon incniiwHl to over sixteen thousand acres. Tliis Commission
oonmHte*! of the leading wine men of the state, and even the
enemies of the Boanl cannot deny the grand result of its work-
lugB in all branches of vitindture. R«>ad its publications about
grafting, fennentation, ini]M)rtation «>f fine varieties of vines, in-
tnxluction of ri>sistant st<K'k and in short all im|K)rtant questions
of viticulture and vinieidture and their value will l)«> seen.
Perfect enthufiiaiim for our business was crcattKl. Tbousjind of
aeren of vinen were planted and a gmMl many of them with the
finest varietiea, particularly of the clarets and Sautenies. New
and fine oellans were built, new pnw-tical machinery for elevating
grap<-H to upper Rtoriea, for cnisbing and pressing were intro<luc<Hi,
an<l the price of grapes went up to (w.-nty-five and thirty-three
dollars p<'r ton. The price of wine rais<'<l in sympathy to twenty-
eight and thirty-three cents per gallon, when less than a year old.
Only a few years later the situaiiott was ehangt-d again.
The enthusiasm commenced to cool down in ilw fall of 18Hr>. I
will state the caus«' of this crash. It wiw not over-prcMlucticm of
gcMMl wines, but the (nvr-prmlurtion «/ inferior wiue» and thrir ivih
If the inferior wines had Ikhju disi)OS(Hl of by distilling instead
of iK'ing sold together with the gcnwl wines for a like price to tin-
trade. th«' reputation of California wine would not have suffered,
the demand for them woubl have increased and goo<l prices woubi
have rewarde<l our business. But you cannot exiK-et that the
jMK)r wine-makers were able to refuse a chance to sell their gotul
and bad wines store<l in cheap, wooden cellars. The result Wiih
that most of the wine-i)ro<lucers grew jjoorer.
Still we will sei' iK'fore long a change of this condition. Tin
last five years of greatest trouble did not break the courage of u
great many of the wine prmlucers of our count}*. Signs of an
imjd-ovement in our situation are not to \Hi denied. Phylloxera
is one of our l)est friends. A good many of our grajw-growers
transformed their destroyed vineyards into well-paying orchards..
The wine-makers rej>lantcd their ruined vinej-ards with resistant
stwk and graft<'d them with the finest varieties of vine*, partic-
ularly lately for clarets. Most of this class of wine-makers will
in future not ofler inferior wines for sale but distill this material.
(i(MMl wines, partly very fine w'ines will bring a fair tog(H>d i)riee.
There cannot bo an over-production of goo dwines. Such good to
sph^ndid wines have enabled quite a number of wine-makers in
the upper Napa Valley, with solid cellars, to build up an inde-
pendent traxle and their numlxT will stesulily be increased. A
tra<le with great winehouses in I'jigland and Germany will
soon 1k> established. T
In a recent article in a county journal one of my neighbors,
a prominent wineman, reconnnended lately the organizatif)n of
the wine-producers. Organizsition for that pur[)Ose will l»e a long
step upward. Therefore, I have no doulit, we will sfK)n enjoy
Ix'tter, and even good times and see our business in a flourishing
condition before long.

Replying to your request to communicate our views regsird-
ing the future of foreign champagne and straight whiskies in this
market, we regret not to have devote<l sufficient study to this
Kubject to funiish you with more accurate information. If, how-
ever, our own imiKirtations of these commo<lities ciin be considcicd
a criterion of their prospects, we have no hesitancy in sjiying Hint
notwithstanding all efforts to improve the quality of native wines
there always will be an appreciative custom for a high gi-ade
imported champagne like Pommery Sec. We are glad to state
that our imixn-tnlions of this brand in 1890 reached 14,675
cjiscB, and should the theory of estimating the standard of a hotel
by the qmUity of its wines, also apply to the class of a country's
w"in(> drinkers, there is no doubt but that the Pacific Coast con-
tains a i>r()portionately larger element of real connoisseurs of a
meritorious wine than any station of the globe.
Regarding whiskies wo also find tho denuind for sti-aight
goods on the increjuw. Whether this is due to the recent intro-
<luction of the rajtid developing protH'ss, which often rendei-s the
handling of these gcMxls more profitable to thejoblwr than their
own blends, or to the constant influx of eastern visitors and their
known pn'ft'rence for straight whisky, we are unable to say.
What \vv do know is that our consignments of straight whiskies
move off pn)niptly aft«'r arrival.

BLE/NDS A/ND STRAIGHT WHISKg. THE LOS A/NGELES DIST-RICT.
High-grade blended wlii.skie« that are composed solely of
various ages of straight goods, are very i)0[)ular on this coast and
during the last few years have greatly eneroaeluid upon tlie field
so long occupied by compounded whiskies. I have handled the
former (^lass of goods for fifteen years and during that time the
demand for such whiskies has steadily increased and I find that as
eacii year goes by there is more readiness on the part of retailers
to pay better prices for a fine quality of uiuform goods. I account
for tliis on the ground that their customers more than ever before
demand uniformity in their beverages and that in order to meet
this demand the retailer has had to look to the fine blends and
straight whiskies. Tliis fact explains the luuivy increase in the
Sivle of such blends and straight goods in this market dur-
in" the past year. In other words the public taste is calling for
a better qnality of whisky and the demand must be supplied.
This is why I consider the outlook for these goods very flattering.
The growth of trade in the Northwest in tliese lines of whisky
in the i)ast year has been greater than in any other part of the
(Joast and it is still increasing. In the Soutli business is picking
up and trade appears to have nearly recovered from the set-back
it received when the boom collapsed. In conclusion I would say
that business seems to be growing in all parts of the Coast, and
I look for a continuation of this development for many years to
come.
Tlie trade here in ryes, whether straights or blends is not what
it should be, for the reason that our people have not been edu-
cated u]) to the drinking of these whiskies which are so char-
acteristic in flavor and rich in bouquet. The fact is that they
have not been pushed in this market as they ought to have
bt'cn. Had they received the same attention as has been ac-
corded the bourbons, I have no doubt they would be proportion-
ately as popular as they are in the east.
Our business in 1890 was much larger than that of any pre-
vious year, and I believe the past season was a prosperous one
for the wine and liquor trade generally, and that in '91 it will be
even better.

Tlie sale of champagnes and other descriptions of fine
imported wines has been very satisfactory during the past year.
The consumption of champagnes on this market while not nearly
so large as some people might be inclined to imagine, is steadily
increasing, and this is greatly owing to the fine qualities received
here. It is to be noted that the general taste is now running
more and more towards a drier class of wine, which cannot but
be satisfactory to the importers of the higher grades, because it
is a known fact that while a sweet champagne of poor (piality
may be disguised (until the following morning) by a judicious
employment of ice, a dry wine is not palatable unless it is really
good. When once, however, it fulfils this requirement, there
can be no question as to its being the healthier beverage. There
are so many good brands on tliis market that it would be invidious
to mention any one in particular.
The taste for the finer grades of imported clarets is also
improving and the public is showing great judgment in sticking
to good brands and vintages when they once discover them. The
consumption of California wines, although continually on the
increase, does not appear to interfere in the least with those of the
imported. On the contrary, it creates a taste for wine drinking
which (sannot but help all sorts and (pialities, and, while it is
pleasant to notice the great and constant improvement that is
going on in the quality of the native wines, it may yet bo a long
time before they can quite take the place of the imported article.
The past vintage in Southern California wa« the be«t
in quality for many years, the gi'apes lieing in fine condition for
wine-making and fermentations goods. So '90 wines will Ik; in
demand and should command good prices. The price paid for
grapes was high, which will proliably induce many producei-s to
hold their stock instead of selling at tlie prescfiit exceptionally
depressed prices. Very many grapes were dried the past fall,
and while the crop was large per iicre, the production was only
about one-quarter that of 1886.
The production of brandy will be comparatively large witli
but little old goods left in the warehouses. We note with pleas-
ure the recent large exportation of brandy and wines by tlie L.
J. Rose Co., Limited, to people in England, and we hear
very favorable reports of the interest taken in our wines and
brandies in that country. As the English have large investments
in vineyards and wineries here, the natural inefernce is that in
the near future we will be large exporters of sweet wines to Great
Britain. The Government has at least begun to acknowledge our
industry and the Sweet Wine bill will undoubtedly put our
wine-makers in a much better position. Capital will take hold
more cheerfully and make the business what it should be — legiti-
mate— besides stimulating the producers to take more pains and
do more justice to themselves than heretofore. Very few have
availed themselves of its privileges this year, the season being
too far advanced when the bill passed. However we hope to see
it in general use another season. It will, if rightly interpreted, re-
sult in the planting of many thousand acres of wine grapes in
this part of the state.
Owing to the vine disease the Mission grape is almost a thing
of the past, only a few vineyards along the mountain slopes re-
maining. Its entire disappearance would be a thing very much
to be regretted. The old Padras made it famous, and it has been
the basis of all our Southern California sweet wines. That it
makes a good sweet wine can be proved when one tastes the rich
old Ports, Sherries and Angelicas of some of our pioneer wine-
makers. What other grape could take its place it is hard to say.
Many other kinds are being experimented with, and in time no
doubt we shall produce as good wines as Spain or Portugal. The
TVousseau, Zinfandel and Malvoisie furnish most of our Port
wines, and the demand for Sherry has stimulated its production,
it being less easy to counterfit than Port.
The vine disease has apparently gone whence it came. Many
of the old vineyards at Anaheim are being replanted with wine
grapes, but on a limited scale. Raisin grapes will be planted quite
extensively in some localities. So far the season has inclined to
be dry and cold. Pruning has just commenced, and many will
evidently prune for a (h-y year.
The out-look for the future is not as brilliant as we antici-
pated last fall, yet with the evident improvement in the financial
condition of the country, we look forward to one of the most
prosperous seasons for the wine industry for many a year. By
the way "our tourist friends" are getting good impressions of our
wines these days and are worth cultivating.

We can supply Caramel or Burnt Sugar Coloring at !<eventy-
five cents per gallon in barrels, as strong and as brilliant as any
that was ever manufactured. Not one complaint has readied us
the quality of our Sugar Coloring for over a year, and our sales
extend to every State in the Union.
If the price Wfis $10, instead of seventy-five cents per gallon,
we could not produce a superior article. Every package guaran-
teed. Samples on application.

(inHiHiin-wi. Tlioiv ii* no rea»«)nal>h« foumlation for tin* i<U'a that
ihc pn-wnl (Inlliu-MH in tho whisky market is due to over-prtxluc-
tifMi. Then' has l>e«*n no over-pHxlnetion. and the e.\istin<;
siln-ition wt.nhl not have b^-en exiH'riencHMl ha<l it not been fcrr
the fait that during neveral yean* jumt eapitalistH have IxH'n
making heavy and fiMilish invt-stnients in unpnMluctive lands and
other luoiiey-alxH.rhing HiKHndaticms. exiK-eting rapid returns and
failing to n>alize them. TIk- Inilt ha« Uhmi «ille<l and within a
short time we nuiy n-jisonahly expec-t all lines of k^itiinate
businetw to move on pnwperously.
We elaim that whiski** are excee<lingly good pn)perty to-day
and will Ih> more so as the seaHon advances. The demand is
heatlthy anil linn prioes an> maintained. We also speak of the
esdtern rye market whii'h has received a »et-back, owing to tlie
monetary disarrangentent.
My'iulviee to the readers of this journal is this: Hold with
an iron grip to the sto«'k on hand; insist on an advance before
you sell and the n-snlt will l)e tliat goo<ls three months hence
will be s<'arc'e and in as good demand as they were six months
siin-e. The com cmp iH'ing short, the making of whiskies has
coHt fully twenty-five p«'r wnt more than a year ago, and the
remilt will l>e that less than half a crop will Ije ina«le during the
filming ««'ason. The 'S!» whiskii>s will therefore take the r.iiik of
the 'sSs, and the ''.Wis will rank with the "HDs. Nothing iM-ing
iMck of '8««. inakeH us fully lielieve that holders and investors in
■S«t and "IMI will realize a Imiulsome margin and profit on their
holdings.
The I'niim Distilling (\)inj>any, distillers, compoundors,
blenders and general distributors of whisky, of Cincinnati, O., are
favonibly known throughout the entire country. Catering to
every want of theirmany |mtrons they aim to please by uniformity
in the goods they supply — nicety in appearance of package,
brandit. courteous treatment and fair dealings, all of which has
made this young house a reputation they may well l)e proud of.
Although the Inion einlKKlies the experiences of a combination
of iieveral old houaefi, they speak of it as a young house on ac-
count of the younger generation now conijioHing its management
and under whirh it has swung into prominence. It's genial
IVesident Mr. (Jeo. (lerke Ix^n his connei^tion with this house
as sole owner of the Union Distillery as early as 1875, at hardly
twenty yi'ars of age. Its nuMlest and untiring KtK-n'tary -and
Tniisiin-r, (t<>o. F. Dieterle, has serveil this business since 1S7().
While the lu-tive management devolves uinm these two j>eople.
they are willing to share the cnxlit of having increaseil their
buinncM* fully thirty js-r ei-nt. during this year with their sales-
men, who do HO much to bring aUint their success. In IHHH the
Union Distilling Co.. |>ut forwanl the " Zeno" brand. The Zt^no

.\s it cannot be otherwise exju'ctwl business is very ijiiiet nn
yet and the tnide seems to be still under the influence of the
holidays. However. I am glad to state that a much bi-tter feel!
prevails and prices of Kentucky whiskies are stiflening up «i .
I)y day. In a few days hence the army of salcBinen will be in
the field and no doubt Inisinens will be pretty lively iiwideof two
wifks.
The Kentucky whisky market has kept up iM'yond all
exiMi-tations during the panicky times we have nuist fortunat -ly
leH behinil us. and but four failur.-s have Imhmi ri'|M>rlc(l ihiriiig
all those tinii-s in the whisky line. But one of tlu-se wiis caused
by the stringency of the money market and another one was ■
regular steal, while the r.\><t ar,- too uiiimiK)rtaiit to refer to.
The houses which failed were Venable & Heynian. New
York; .\. H. Lawrence. Dallas, Texas; Sthwalwcher & Selig in
Indianapolis and Jno. K. (Sibljon & (^o., of Boston. There is ih>
aiipreheiiHioii of any further disiisters and barring imforesitii
events you may look for a pro.spcrous ywir in the whisky business.
Our visitors were Mr. Geo. W. Harris of Ja«. Lavy & Bi

CiiKAco January I'l. ISfll.
We have no change to rejMirt in the market during the past
fortnight. Tnwle still remains comparatively dull and it is not
expwteil that there will be any renewed activity till the latter
part of next month.
A review of the situation shows that California w iiies have
made considerable headway in this market in the past year, and
that their reputation is improving witli their ([iiality.
The article in the last issue of the Kkview regarding the
the small shipper and the bad iKirrel-house man and his methods,
created a great deal of talk here among the tnnle and arousiHl the
ire of the B. h. man to a high degree. The reputable dealers
were pleastnl with the manner in which the subject was handled
and it is hoped that it may serve to warn the small hhipper
against these sharks, and thus help the market.
Brandies are in good demand at fair prices and are considen^d
first-class property.
New York, Jan. 12, 18JM.
The market here for Ixith dry and sweet wines is of the (piiet
order, with no immediate prosiKH-t of a material change in the
sit^iatiou. The mcn'hants are just now devoting the mo.st of their
time to figuring out how much they made in 18!»0. and with few
exceptions the rtv^ults are deemed quite satisfactory, all tliiiii.'s
considennl.
Brandy is holding uj) inginxl shaiK'and an advance in jirices
within the next few wii'ks would not be uiiexpei'ted by the trade.
All the old wine houses re|>ort increaseil business for 185K),
and liMik for a sternly improvemeut in tlie future. B.
The holiday nuinlHT of the Criterion wa« what we call a Jim
Dandy, out this way. It i-ontaineil a great deal of valuable
information and much of interest coniH-rning distillers and the
ilistilling business. The (Wmoa begins the new year in c«mditi<m
to make a great race in "Dl against all competitors, and we wish
it all possible success,

F. P. Dilley & Co., Philadelphia, agents for " Eclipse" cham-
pagne, report a large demand for their goods for the holidays.
8. Dillinger & Sons have enlarged their distillery and com-
pleted a 1 1 ,000 barrel warehouse for the accomiuodatiou of the
ever popular "Dillinger." ,
M. Durner of Cincinnati, has issued a calendar for '91 that
is <iuite artistic and very catchy. The principal feature is a fine
lithograph representing the famous chariot race in " Ben-Hur."
A. Overholt & Co., are floating along on the top wave of
success. They have just built a storage warehouse with a capac-
ity for 18,000 barrels of "Overholt" and will erect another during
the suininer.
Among the visitors during the fortnight were Charles Stern
of New York, and Mr. Rosenthal, the manager of Mr. Stern's
house in Chicago. Mr. Stern is still standing on the platform
that the "rectifiers mii-d go." Mr. Stern has undertaken a big
contract.
A five story brick warehouse with a capacity for 14,000 barrels
is being completed by the Thompson Distillery Company. Sec-
retary Sunstein reports that the past year has been a very success-
ful one for the "Sam Thompson," and the outlook for the future
is very cheering.
We have received a very handsome calender from A. Over-
holt & Co., who produce the only " Overholt." It bears the
portrait of the founder of the famous distillery and also a colored
lithograph showing a pretty harvest scene in which the taking
feature is "a beautiful damsel reaping rye."
J. De Barth Shorb, President of the San Gabriel Wine Co.,
has been seriously ill during the past fortnight. He has been
unable thus far to attend a proposed meeting of the Special Com-
mittee of the Viticultural Commissioners for the purpose of
submitting a final report on the sweet wine regulations.
— •
Chas. Meinecke & Co., are closing up their books for 1890
and fine a most gratifying result of their labors during the past
year. They did a large business, much in excess of that of 1889,
and if energy, square business methods and first-class goods are
the test of success, they will make a still better record for 1891.
Albert Lacliman, of S. Lachman & Co., New York, jjaid the
city a flying visit during the past fortnight. He says tliat com-
petition in the New York market is very sharp indeed, but that
fts the demand grows there will probably be less rivalry [among
the trade.
Inst
Mr. Lachman returned to New York on the 12th
It is expected that tlie number of saloons in Chicago will be
reduced to 4,000 next year. There are now 5,600 in the city.
All the syndicate breweries have decided to cease advancing
money to saloon keepers for the purpose of procuring licenses,
and this radical step will probably result in the closing of the
doors of about 1600 saloons about the first of the year.
We acknowledge the receipt of a case of " Reihlen" cham-
pagne from the American Champagne Co., the kindly holiday
remembrance of Messrs. Bunton and Wood, the local managers
of the company. " Reihlen" speaks for itself, and the wine that
is now being turned out by the company is meeting with public
approval. Tlic t^ompany report that the wine produced Rue year
ago is developing qualities far beyond their expectations.
One of the neatest and most artistic remindere of the new
year was sent out by Messrs. Hoff"heimer Bros., of Cincinnati, to
their mtiny friends and patrons. It was in the shape of a small
pocket memorandum book, the cover of which was composed of
sheets of ivory celluloid substantially bound in leather. On the
front cover a fine lithograph calls attention to their " Whit«
Mills" and " W. B. Samuels" whiskies. The back cover beare a
calendar.
An article in the Argonaut of a recent date, descriptive of the
Inglenook vineyard has been widely read by the wine producers
and merchants of this State. The excellence of the Inglenook
wines, the beauties of the vineyard and the completeness of the
vaults were all described in an exceedingly apt and convincing
manner. The article in question was written by Frona E. Waite,
who some time ago published a book on "The Wines and Vines
ofCalifornia-"
Wm. Wolfl" & Co., report a steadily increasing demand for
'• Pommery." Their importations for the last half of December
were 1100 cases, which brings the total of their imports for 1890
to a figure far beyond that of any previous year since they be-
came the agents for this celebrated wine. Their success in
handling " Pommery" has been very gratifying, and the outlook
for the future could hardly be better, as the brand promises for
1891 to improve upon its present record in the same ratio that
has marked its career in the past few years.
The American Champagne Co., have made a formal demand
upon the State Viticultural Commission for space in the Exhibi-
tion Hall to display "Reihlen" Champagne. Thus far Manager
C. J. Wetniore has de(!lined to give space to the company on the
ground that the champagne was not produced by natural fermen-
tation. In their demand, however, the company declare that the

of whi.Hky in the world and the al)Ove named brand possesses all
the cliaraeteristic.-t that have given the whiskies of this sw^tion
their high reputation. Metwrs. Murphy & ('o., have conscientiously
adhen'<1 to the tinie-honore<l methods of distillation that have given
K<-ntueky its pri<'/les« fami; as a jtrfKlucer of fine whiskies. "The
Belleof A iKh-rsoii County" is a fin copper whisky made in the most
can-fill manner uiuh-r the iH*rs<mal supervision of Mr. Ed. Murphy,
one of the most eaiMible distillers in the ''Blue Grass State," and
the |tosition o<-eupie<l by the bnind, which wius jthu-xMl on the mar-
ket in t.ssl.Hhows the suct-i-ss which has attencled his eflort«. In
the pnjtiuetion of this whisky only the finest grain and pure lim^
st<me spring water an; use<l, an<l the facilities of the firm for
storage an; so excellent that the go<Hls invariably (;ome out of
lM)nil at the end of time y»;ars, aliove proof. The distillery bae
a «ii|»aeity <»f eight hiindn;*! bushels per day and the product
always meetM with a rea<ly sale.
"Ctiateau d'<h-h«iiH, " a magnifitxint table claret which clial-
leng«-n (-om|Miris<m with the lH*t French vintages, is the latest
brand of win«- inlnMliicd Iiy Arpad Harasxthy & Co.. and is the
[Kirticiilar pride and p. i ..f Mr. Hiiras/.tliy, after the '-J-Iclipw-"
ehamimgne. The wine i- taking well with all who have tH«t<Hl
if. and is having a most hiiliHfa<lory run at the dubs and the high
class n-staiirants. There ia a little sU>ry in conniHtion with the
naming of the tiino, whieh will U^r n'i>etition iniwmuch a« th<
brand is (-ertain to Ixh-oiiu' known as widely and as favoniblv
as tlu- "lu-lips*;." The story wa.-« tohl by Mr. Hanuiztliy at ;i
wK-ial gathering not long sinot;, and is as follows: "Not lon^
ago, as you all know, the Count of Paris wa« in America andasli.
was visiting us, lu- followinl the Kiiropean custon of drinking tli.
wineaofthe country of which he wiw a guest. This intnHliucd
him to ,\iiierican wimw, and he wiw pleased with them too, if tlic
re|Mirt»< bnaiglit by telt^aph are correct. .\l)out the same time 1
was hunting for a name for the new brand of claret, and tlii
action on the part of the Count so pleased iiil-, that 1 det.'rinined t-
take the name of his family for the wine. Then the name coim
doubly applicable too, as the vineyanl in Yolo county is willed
the "Orleans." 1 am more than suited with the name, and the
lK)pularity that has thus far l)een met is very encouraging."
Our po<;t after assimilating some of the I>avie« county pnMliict
known to the world as " R. Monarch" whisky, broke <mt iuto
rhyme, and as he seems to have thrown his soul into the effort
we are constrained to give it publicity. It follows herewith.
In the land of whisky, good and straiiilit.
Of glorious women fair to see,
Of splendid hoi-ses. swift of gait,
There doth a Monarch hold levee.
Out from the 1-^st and from the West,
From the far North and sunny South,
The people rise to ctill him blessed.
To give him pniisi; by word of mouth.
List to the sounds of loud acclaim
That float upon the ambient air.
And tribute pay to a high name
That shines among the great and fair.
Father of "Glenmore" and "Short Horn."
Of royal " Monarch" good and pure.
To whom " Kentucky Club" wa« born,
Long may thy lofty fame endure.
Let men of letters pa.ss aw'ay,
Let warrioi-H fall ueath foemeus' spears.
Let Kingdoms crumble to decay,
But spare our Monarch long, long years.
The "Astor," "Belmont" and "Nutwowl" Distilleries of
Louisville, are known to the trade of the country a» the iikmU I
distilleries of Kentucky. Messi-s Moore & Selliger gsvined this
reputation for their plants by the iutnxluction of an innovation
by which the entire process of converting grain into whisky i.s
carried on u}K)n the ground floor, therely avoiding all the incon-
venience and complications of j)lant.s that re<iiiire two or thnn-
floors. Through the courtesy of Mr. Max Si-lliger. than whom
there is no gentleman in all Kentucky more courteous and
accommodating, the writer was reeently aftbnled the i)lea.sure of
visiting these distilleries. A casual inspe<'tion showed that
Messrs. Moore & Selliger spai-e no effort or expense- to provide
themselves with every available medium for the proiluetiou of
first-class goods. Their machinery is of the latest and most
approved i)atern and their still-houses are theacinc of ck'anliiies.s.
That their efforts to produce fine whiskies have been successful i-
attested by the high reputation enjoye<l by these three braml
throughout the Uiiite<l States. The "Astor" and "Belinoni
wlii<;h are among the most impular straight whiskies on the
Pacific coast, an- sour ma.sh })nKlu(-tions, fermenti-el in the old-
fashioned Kentucky style in small tubs. These brands wore
established in ISSO and have Inul a remarkably succt-ssful career.
" Nutwooil" is a sweet mash whisky and though a young brand,
launcluMl in 1SX7, has won its way to an envial)le jK)sition with
the trade. No small degree of its j>(>pularity is due to its heavy
Innly and excellent flavor which adapts it es]H-cially tocomiM)uiid-
iiig purixmes. It has a fine n-putation and growing demand on
this coast. The prcwluct of thes(> fhrei- distilh-ries is stored in
four large fire-pnM)f wan-h<mses. |H'rf(-elly ventilat<-d and ei|uipp(-<I

B-RA/NDy P-RO-DUCT OF 1890.
Below will be found the comparative totals of the State as
shown by the official figures furnished by Collectors Sears of the
First, and Byington of the Fourth District:
Produced in Eirst District 218,810 gallons.
Produced in Fourth " 762,423 "
Total product for 1890... 981,2.33 "
Total product for 1889 1,043,.503 "
In bond, all districts, Jan. 1 1890, 1,389,661 "
In bond, all districts, Jan. 1 1891, 1,. 347,41 6 "
Deficit 42,245 "
It will be seen by the above that notwithstanding the opera-
tions of the Sweet Wine Law and the suppose increased demand
for grape spirits, the product of brandy in 1890 was 62,370 gal-
lons short of 1889.
In the next issue of the review will be given a complete
detailed record of all bonded brandy transactions by months in
both Internal Revenue districts.
SWEET WI/NE MAKE-R'S WOES.
At a meeting of the prominent sweet wine producers in the
rooms of the Viticultural Commission on Thur.sday afternoon
last, there were present George and F. A. West, of Stockton,
Julias P. Smith and C. A. Wetmore of Livermore, C. K. Kirby
of Fowler, H. C. Eggers of Fresno, F. L. Watkins of the San
Gabriel Wine Co. Juan Gallegos and others
The main question discussed was the action of the Internal
Revenue Collectors in retiuiring an additional revenue on sweet
wines that contain more than 10 per cent of alcohol before for-
tification. The wine makers rightly claim that this additional
tax is unjust for the reason that the Internal Revenue Depart-
ment have taken the saccharine average of Eastern wines a,s a
standard by which to judge California grapes. This is wrong for
the grapes of this State often yield a percentage of alcohol
amounting to asjnuch as 15 per cent before fortification. This
unfair ruling has forced the wine makers in many instances to
pay for the brandy used for fortifying purposes and in one case a
certain firm was compelled to pay $9000 on this account.
A telegram has been sent to Commissioner Mason a.sking
that this latest ruling be suspended until the matter can b thor-
oughly investigated.

MNtnd Tv*\ wincx otTt'rtHl in tninxit hroiiKht more than ruling;
MUotatiouH in this niarki-t. Wo «in not agrt'O with the Kkvikw
that mu'h auction hiUvm will ilcuionilizi> the New York market,
hut would rather tniy that thit* in aNnit the (»nly means left of
hrinfpnK our tnide in direct etmimunieatiou with the jjn)wer of
the wint-s. and tier rrrmt. Could jwrt of the market for wine.-i
and hrandit-x U- tninsferriHl to New York. instea<l of beiiijj ahso-
Intely i-ontrolle^l in San Fnuicisco, we do not hesitate to pre<lict
that the wine pxiwer wouhl fjet a much more siitisfiu-tor^- n-sult
for his lalMirs than he now obtains: and should Mr. Hayne.
llir«»U(;li prvjndiir, jejilousy or «)tlierwise. fail in this venture,
then* will, jierhaiiM, ere long bo some one else to carry his idejis
to a MuxH'ssful ••onelusion. We would also a<Ivise our estoi'nied
c«mteni|Mirary that the " lt>gitiniate" wine mark(*t of New York
is. with the pn»iK-r sup|K)rt fnwn those who ought to sup|K>rt such
Halox. in no more ilanger of being demonili»><I titan is London by
the wwkly sjili>«* hold there.
The alK>vo is from the New York correspondence of the
LouiKviUe HTjw and Spirit BtiUetin, which in advocating the more
or \em eelebrat*^! '• Hayno auction" In'trays not a little ignonuice
of the California wine trade and the conditions which surround it.
Hayne's scheme looks well in theory. It aouuds well for
instancv, to say that the discriminating wine buyers will pick out
the go<Kl wines at such sales and reject the bad, thus insuring
the grower of go<Ml wines a ssitisfactory price. It looks well that
such sales should lie (inducted as art! the fruit sales, vMih buyer
knowing what ho getH.
This is the |>iiiH'r side of it. What are the facts? Is our
friend of the Uulhtln aware of the truth that thei-e are compara-
tively few American buyers, espwially in the east, who know
what wiiM-s sitv'i Is it not a fact that fine wines are not wanted
ex«fpt under French label? Is it not true that wj little are the
American wine* under their real colors apppreciated that there is
to-day offered a lot ofa»)out 20,000 gallons of one of California's
choioeHt vintageH at fifty cents f. o. b., at San Francisco, with not
a single buyer? Our Louisville friend knows little and should
talk hfw about the wine trade. How many wholesale liquor
<I«ilerH are there in his own city— a city of 200,000 people — who
ran tell whether a new claret is worth nothing, or ten cents, or one
dollar jier gallon? Not one.
The wine tr»de ib in to early a stage to make auctions a
BUci'eMs. Buyers in Ixmdon for instance, purchast! goods of
Mitablisheil merit and reputation. That happy day when indi-
vidual reputation and merit of California wines will bring pro-
IKirtionate prices is (-oming. We see evidences of it all the time.
Hut it is not here yet and Hayne will not help matters by ciuising
a new smash in prirres and consequent discouragement among
protluwrs.
Possibly the friends of the Hayne scheme will admit that I.
!>.• Turk is one of the iH-st known wine men in America. We
know of no man who can more readily still wines on his own
name and winimand gixid prices. His reput^ition rests on the
solid merit of his wines. Mr. De Turk is a pr<Mlucer, and has
fought his way into prominence by the slu^-r fono of worth. Vp
to a few wtN-ks ago Mr. I)e Turk had Hayne as his ag<'iit in New
York, but the coiiibiiiation is now dissoIve<l, dwinj^ to Havno's
auction plan. Mr. Ih- Turk thinks that the time is not riiK' for
the auction plan. His judgment, foundetl on years of ex-
pi'Henco, and his ability to ostiiiiatc the sitinition in New York,
will Iw atM-optwl by the gra|M' gniwors and wine maki-rs of this
State. They have winfidence in his foresight and honcstv, and
we arc loth t« U^lieve that they will su|.jMirt Haviu' when it is
known to a certainty that his Hrst cflort was a rank failure.

SA/NTA CLA-RA CH AMPAC/NE.
Santa Clara valley has already won the proud distinction of
producing the highest colored and most delicately flavored claret
wines produced within the State, and of late her Sauternes and
other types of white wine have been very closely approximat-
ing the very best. We are not aware that any attempt has
been made to produce champagnes and in fact only one house in
all California has attained any distinction in that line.
It appears, however, that Messrs. Lefranc & Masson, the
successors of Charles Lefranc, who established a vineyard in 1852
some eight miles south of San Jose, have been quietly experi-
menting for some time with such favorable results as to induce
them to enter upon the manufacture of champagne on a scale
large enough to put it on the market through their wine
house in San Jose which has been in operation for the past six
years. They secured a practical champagne man from France
and for about a year a vintage has been going through the pro-
cess. It will still be some time, six months or more, before it
will be ready for sale, but from the superior quality of the
original wine used and the great care taken in the preparation,
the resulting champagne must be of the best quality. It is not
yet determined to send it out under any particular brand.
Probably the name of Lefranc & Masson will be as gowl a
guaranty of purity and quality as anything that could be placed
upon the bottles. Lovers of champagne will be on the lookout
for the new product and we shall be disappointed if it does not
prove equal or better than anything ever made in the State. —

THE MA-RKET.
/California wines— The market for dry wines remains
^^ unchanged. Few transactions are reported owing to the
fact that prices quoted by buyers are not at all satisfactory to
producers and those who can do so prefer to hold their stocks in
the hope of an advance in values with the coming of spring.
The sweet wine market has been very much rattled on ac-
count of the alarming rulings of the Internal Revenue Depart-
ment, and prices can not be expected to reach a settled condition
until it has been decided whether or not the revenue tax must be
paid ou brandy used in fortifying a large quantity of the '90
sweet wines, which have been assessed and await the final action
of the government wliich will fix their values.
/California brandy— The brandy market is in a much
^^ better condition and so active has been the demand of the
distributors that there are at this early season practically no 90*8
in first hands. They are ruling strong at fifty cents and have a
fine future. The 89's are not plentiful and are quoted at
sixty to sixty-five cents. On account of the reduced product of
90's an advance all along the Ime may be confidently expected.
At present the 91 's are too young to cut auy figure in the
market.
*ifj>ENTUCKY WHISKIES— The market is decidedly dull
^ ^ owing to the fact that the weather is not propitious and
jobbers are holding back orders to see what the rain clerk will
do. The demand for ryes is also slack and local trade on whiskies
is quiet in sympathy with all lines of business and in improve-
ment need be looked for at'present.
Louisville ^Q-pavtrnQnt,
[spe:5Ial correspondence.]
^TTiie whisky market is not in a very satisfactory condition at
Ji the present writing and there is no immediate prospect of a
change for the better. The trouble lies in the fact that the
distillers and the trade are again haunted with the fear of over-
production. Th3 situation is certainly serious and calls for
prompt action on the part of the distillers, but whether they see
their danger in time to guard against it, remains to be seen.
Thus far the trade have displayed their good judgement by
refusing to encourage producers to turn out a big '91 product
by not contracting for goods to be made. If they will stick t3
this position and refuse to buy during the " distilling season, the
distillers will perforce adopt a conservative policy. If not, the
cloud of depression will again settle down upon the entire trade.
It would seem that the recent history of the business should have
taught the producers to avoid over-production as they would
a pestilence, but the unprecedented boom of last year apparently
blotted out their recollection of past experiences.
There are several of our foremost distillers, however, who
recognize the gravity of the situation and are doing all in their
power to prevent impending disaster. Among these are the
Mellwood Distillery Company, R. Monarch, Moore & Selliger,
E. H. Taylor Jr. & Sons, The J. M. Atherton Co., and others too
numerous to mention, all of whom will greatly reduce their in-
tended product for 1891. They are setting a good example for
their competitors, and ought to have a good effect. In this
connection I would state that an attempt is being made to get
the distillers of Kentucky together for the purpose of arriving at
a general understanding regarding this seasons production and
if possible to materially shorten the distilling period. If this
can be accomplished, a great danger will have been averted.
Trade is quiet and is confined practically to the actual needs
of retailers. The '89's are not being unbonded as fast as could
ba desired and the value of '90's is hanging in the balance,
pending the output of '91 's and holders of the former age are
naturally in a very anxious frame of mind.
Travelers in the whisky trade have been few and far between
They are probably remaining at home till the clouds roll by.

the ColU-ctorH ilown. tliat eaeh and all have done what they
oouhl to net you ri^ht on t)u> vital |H)intH at is^ue.
In the firxt plaee we do not tliink. that you are re«|>onHihle
for nmkini; the fiMtlixh xtatenuMit that no numt can leptiniately

Khould like next Hea»*on to unilertake to wud you all the gniiK's
you want which will nhow a »till richer muHt when expresHed.
You muHt know that heretofori' but little att«'ntion han InH'n given
to the couditiouK Hurroundin^; swwt wine niakin>j. by the Viti-
cultunil C'onunittw of the State University. AU their work
pmrtically has U-en <U'vote<l to dry winw for making; which rich
niustM are not (Imrttl. If you fall back on analyses of musts in
France or (Jennany. reniemlier that the climatic conditions
arf wholly <li««iniilar to ours. They csmnot get the sugar con-
tents which we can. Nature has denie<l it. If j'ou think their
analvw-s of wini* prove anything we deny it. How do you know
that those same dry wint-s have not In-en fortiliinl ?
Se<-ond: Wc do not think that it was you who threw dis-
cr«Mlit on the statements of Fn»fessor llilgjjrd of the State I'niver-
sity and I'rofcssor Kising the State Analyst iis to the sugar
contents of niustH. That act was one wholly unworthy of you and
your station. The statements of either is worth a down opin-
ions of non-<'Xi>erts in Washington. Meswrs. Kising and Hil-
gartl stand high in their killings and to seek to throw a cloud
directly or in«lirectly on what they say is neither wise nor crtnlit-
ablc. Neither gentleman is an intereste<l party in the matter
and de|>end ujion it they are familiar with what thej' say.
Thinl: We w<mld call your attention to the fact that in
making sweet wine abroad, and in making such dry wines a^ the
Y«|uem for instanc.-. dcsicciition before crushing the gr.ijies is
usually pra<;ti<re<l. N«> pnu-tice in wine making or handling is
more legitimate and in making s«>nut wines, it is almolutely indis-
|H'usable. Are you se<'king to reform the time honore<l. uiH-cssary
and honorable pra<ii<'es of the old world and to establish a new
scho«il of wine makers in California, simply lK><%iuse sonu' one in
your I><-|>artm"nt thinks graiK" must should not run over twenty-
Mix and one half jK-r cent of sugar? Such a {K)flition is simply
untenable.
Fourth: We would lieg to remind you that the Sweet Wine
Bill was itusseil to aid the wine nuikers and not to hamper them.
It was not di-sigiunl to enable some one in your ofli<T to display
his unfaniiliarity with our wine making by ruling ()u< your regu-
lations imply) that when gm|M's cost twelve dollars a ton, it is
profitable to buy supir at one hundre<l dollars jK'r ton to u«ld for
sweetening purisw** when we <«n g«'t all the sugar we want in
Natun-s Ijilsinitory.
Fifth: We think that a trip to California in the vintage
neaiton would prove plcjisint and instnictive to you, and a (JcmI-
wnd to thi- wine men. It would enable you to «•«« wine made
without iwlding sugar or wat4 r t.> must, a pnwticv which you have
not observed in New York, Oi i.. ami elsewhere, and it would
c<'rtainly<-learupi»ome<»ther f.. -you have on our industry.
We should fare U-tter we knou ,,u were U-tter inlormed.

of your sulK)nlinates here, who we might suggest, arc far lH'tt«r

A CHAMPAG/NE STEAL.
/^TTlie champagne importers and consumers of two cities are
J^ just now in the clutches of a jury of highway robln-rs under
the guisi> of hotel and rest^iurant keepers who have found a new-
way to cinch the public and at the siune time injure the busineas of
the houses handling foreign champagnes. Under "the New Tariff'
Bill and the Customs Administration Bill the duty on these
wines wa* practically raise*! $1.50 pt^r ciise. The opportunity
has been st^iztnl by the hotel men to put up the prica from 84.00
to 84.50 i)er bottle on the strength of the "McKiuley Bill" being
in force. This amounts to a raise in retail price of 8<).00 per
case, which is in plain terms a steal and should not be tolerated.
The retailers are getting $.'J4.(K) per case for a wine which costs
them $.*}'2.00 U«s a lil)eral discount. In other words they want
to encourage the trade by comi>elling their patrons to pay an
outrageous and unrea.Honable price for an article which could and
should be sold at a lower figure.
In New Y'ork 83.50 is the standard bottle price for
champiigne at the highest class restaurants. Here a man is
victimized to the extent of 84.50 or 85.(M) a bottle. Frwiuent
attempts to raise prices in New Y'^ork have been promptly met
and defeate<l by the patrons of the l>etter restaurants. We in
California bear i>etty swindles with more e<iuanimnit}'.
We suggest to the champagne importers that they are in a
position to stop this infamous piece of robbery and at the same
time greatly popularize their wines, by combining and setting
down on the retailers ring. There is no doubt but what sjvlcs
would largely increase were the retailer's prices curtaiknl to
something within reason and justice. The champagne business
is practically in the hands of six or eight houses and they avn
put a check rein on imposition if they will get together and have
a fifteen minutes talk over the matter.
Such action is to the advantjvge of all and can Ije endorsed
by all. It is only recently that the New Y'ork importers
promptly nipi)ed a projected retail advance in the bud by
merely threatening to cease selling to those who wanted to plead
'•McKinley Bill" as an excuse for gauging the public. Let the
public. Let the importing houses here act similarly and they
will greatly increase their rates and at the same time conciliate
an ugly though not very o^Hiu feeriug of resentment among
consumers.

SWEET WI/NE MAKE-RS.
The Serious Trouble They Have Been Having and its
Causes.
Tlio piist three weeks have been marked by unusual commo-
tion ivmong tlie sweet wine makers in c()nse<iuence of a ruling by
Commissioner Mason, arising out of a misunderstanding on his
part of the conditions under which sweet wines are made.
The trouble began by his ordering the stamps taken off from
many packages of sweet wiues in the first and fourth districts,
in cases where the sugar and alcoholic perc3ntago of the wine
before fortification showed that there had originally been more
than tweney-six and one-half per cent, of sugar in the must before
fermentation was begun. His niling was, no doubt, actuated by
his experience in the east where it is absolutely out of the ques-
tion to get as high a percentagr of sugar in the must as it is
here.
Commissioner Mason does not S33ni to have known this.
His ruling came unexpectedly and though known by the Internal
Revenue CoUec^tors to be iuirea:-5o:iablo and unjust, they had to
enforce it. The result was that many wine makers were assessed
for the brandy used in fortifisation, instead of being seized as
they should have baen. The ass3:«tment plan operated better to
the purposes of the Revenue Department, and was a stinging
blow at the wine makers who could ill afford to pay up without
a legal chance for their lives. This was the hardest part of the
whole matter, and it was made doubly severe by the fact that
the parties seized were as absolutely guiltless of any fi-aud or
fraudulent intent as was Commissioner Mason.
Immediately on the enforcement of this ruling there was a
meeting of the sweet wine men and after much discussion the
following telegrams were agreed upon and seut on to Washington:
San Fkancisco January 23, 1891.
Hon. John W. 3Iason, Washington, D. C: — From recent decisions
of your department we infer that you are not fully informed re-
garding the saccharine strength of grapes used in sweet wine in
Califoania and would urge you to suspend action in such cases
until facts can be presented. It can be proved to your satisfiic-
tion that our gi-apes readily attain a saccharine strength of twen-
ty-live to thirty-five per cent. I. De Turk.
San Fkancisco, January, 23, 1891.
Leland Stanford, Joseph McKenna and California Delegation: —
Sweet wines fortified under the new law are being detained by
the Internal Revenue Department. The result will be disas-
trous to every wine maker in California unless action is suspend-
ed. Commissioner Mason evidently does not understand the
saccharine strength of our grapes. Please urge him to suspend
action until wine makei's can be heard. It will be proved to his
satisfaction that grapes in our sweet wine districts obtain from
tweuty-five to thirty-five per cent of sugar. Please advise us of
j'our actions.
I. De Turk. C. K. Kerry.
Geo. Wkst. H. W. Crabb.
J. De Barth Shorb. Juan Gallegos.
E. B. Rogers. C. A. Wetmori^
Prof. Hilgard of the State University also sent the Commis-
sioner a telegram to the same effect and Professor Rising sent a
dispatch to C. A. Ci-ampton the Government Chemist reading as
follows:
San Francisco, January 23, 1891.
C. A. Crampton, Washington D. C: — Recent decisions of the
Department affect many wine makers in this state veries serious-
ly. I can assure you from personal knowledge that the sugar
in gFape's juice often varys from twenty-five to thirty-five per
cent. This can be substantiated by abundant evidence.
W. B. Rising, State Analyst.
The replies that were received in response to these tele-
grams were as follows:
Washington, January 24th, 1891
J. De Barth Shorb, San Francisco, CaL: — The Commissioner
will hear you. See letter to the President of the Viticultural
Commission. J. McKenna.
Washington, January 24th, 1891.
/. DeTurk aiul others, San Francisco, Cat.: — Your telegram re-
ceived. I have reriuested Commissioner Mason to grant your
retiuest. Leland Stanford.
President De Turk of the Commission osi^ received a re-
ply from Commissioner Eason, and the data asked for by that^
official is being prepared. Commissioner Mason's request was
as follows:
Washington, D. C, January 24th, 1891.
/. De Turk, Pre.ndeut Viticultural Commissioners: — Furnish de-
tailed statement of all published analys&s of pure grape juice un-
fermented containing twenty-six and one-half per cent grape sug-
ar and upwards; not the total solids or concentrated must. Send
statement of method of sugar determination.
John W. Mason, Commissioner.
But of still great3r importance as far as practical results go.
were the dispatches which passed between Collector Sears and
the Commissioner, as through tjiem the sweet wine detained in
the wineries was set free. After others had taken action Collect-
or Sears camj to the point with the following proposal:
San Francisco, January 26th, 1891.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington, D. C: — In view
of hardships to sweet wine makers, caused by the detention of
large quantities of wine, preventing sales and thus causing possi-
ble financial failures, I recommend that a quart sample of each
cask of wine be taken in presence of the sweet wine maker, Dep-.
uty Collecton and the ganger. The samples to be a true and
agreed upon average of the winein such cask. The bottles to
be sealed and labelled, numbered and signed by the sweet wine
maker, Deputy and Ganger. When samples have been taken
the labels signed and attached, then the order for detention to
be revoked and the wine released to owners for sale or removal.
The samples to be held as evidence in all questions arising. It
would seem that the government is thus fully protected, while
thewine makers are saved from financial complications, if not
insolvency. Can this be granted? AV. H. Sears, Collector.
To this dispatch came the subjoined answer from Commis
sioner Mason which temporarilly relieved all the wine makers of
their troubles.
Washington, D. C, January 27th, 1891.
W. H. Sears, Collector, San Francisco CaL: — Plan suggested in
your telegi-am may be followed, except in cases where parties
are guilty of fraud. John W. Mason, Commissioner.

of your issue of January 26th. In general appearance and in-
formation contained, it excels any other paper in the trade, at
least in our ehtimation. The information contained in reference
to the wines, expressing the views of standard authorities should
be profitably and attentively perused by the trade throughout
the East, tending as the information does to stimulate increased
efforts in behalf of one of California's grandest industries.
Assuring you of our cordial support in your efforts to bring
California's wines properly before the public, we are,
Yours trifly,

which Editor Washbume may well feel proud. It is a handsome
publication of one-hundred-aiid-six pages printed in excellent
style and is good evidence of what can be accomplished by energy
and business ability coupled with the well-known enterprise and
liberality of Kentucky's distillers. We understand that Mr.
Washbume proposes to devot« his whole time and talents to the
Bulletin in the future and we can only wish him all possible good
fortune and many repetitions of his latest success.

widely extended busine.sH interests. To his ability and untiring
energy is largely due the great prestige of the "J. H. Cutt«r"
whisky on the Pacific coast. W^hile he will bo welcometl ivgain
to the ranks of the active trade, he will have to divide honors
and populai'ity with A. P. Hotaling Jr., who has so ably handled
thi^ business of the house during his sire's indisposition. The
junior member's strict attention to businos.^, affable m.vuners and
many manly qualities have won him many friends among the

On our recent visit to Kentucky we visited one sour mash
distilh'rj- which is deserving of special mention, bj' reason of the
high reputation it has attsvine<l as a prwlucer of high grade whis-
kies. W'e refer to the institution of the Eagle Distillery Co.,
which was organiz«Hl by T. J. Monarch, an old-fashioned sour
mash distiller. His methods of j)roduction have been continued,
but the plant is anything but old-fsishionetl. On the contrary it
is a magnificent brick structure, three stories high, with slate
roof and cement fi(K)r.s. The macliinerj' is of first-class manufac-
ture and though plain in construction is of the very best quality.
In this house you find the old-fash ione<l kettle stills of copper,
coi)iM'r doubler, iron and wooilen tanks, small wooden tubs, mash
tubs and a complete equipment for making strictlj' sour mash
whisky, which is known to the trade as " T. J. Monarch" and
'• Imperial." The Ejigle Distillerj- is situate<l ten miles west of
Owenslx)ro, on the Ohio river and a short distance from the L.
St. L. & T. R. R., thus having perfect facilities for transportation
by rail and water. Quick shipments and low rates of freight are
other advantages cnijoyed by those dealing w ith this company.
The storage warehouses are built on a high knoll, are
thoroughly ventilattnl and well adopted for improving and ageing
whisky.
This distillery plant was ree.'iitly i)urchased by Mr. R.
Monarch, who is President of the company, a fact which is a
guarantee to the trade that only first-class goods will be protlucod
and that conservatism w ill always govern the proiluction, to the
end that tlu' interests of the patrons of the company may bo pro-
tect«Hl.

A WROMG POL I eg.
Through the instrumentality of the irrepressible publisher of
a senile "boss" paper, his side partner, ex-aecidency Waterman
and a few others equally interested parties, an effort is being
made in the Legislature to cripple or abolish the State Viticul-
tural Commission. This opposition all grew out of the ill feeling
existing between Waterman and a gentleman, who until recently
was a member of the Commission. On account of this personal
matter Waterman has used every possible means, fair and other-
wise, to cast discredit upon the Viticultural Commission, not
because it was not a worthy institution, but because he wished to
be revenged upon an enemy.
In the skeleton of the Appropriation Bill which was sub-
mitted during the fortnight, we see some of the fruits of Water-
man's efforts, in the reduction of the estimate for the appropria-
tion, from $35,000 to $20,000 for two years. To show the con-
sistency of the law-makers who hatched out the financial measure
it is only necessary to state that while they propose to fatally
handicap the Viticultural Commission they provide $25,000 for
the Forestry Commission, which in the whole course of its ex-
istence has not accomplished anything whatever in the preserva-
tion of the forests of the State. However, it is backed by an
active lobby and will therefore be cared for, while a worthy in-
stitution that should require no lobbying to establish its claims
to substantial support, is put under the knife. This is carrying
personal politics too far,and we are confident that if the members
of the Legislature understood the situation, they would lose
no time in sitting down on this Waterman-Boruck scheme.
There are several useless commissions that might well bo
dispensed with, but the Viticultural Commission should not be
classed among these, for it ranks with the Horticultural Com-
mission in the matter of its importance as a promoter of one of
the great industries of the State. Viticulture in California is in
its infancy yet and it needs all the fostering care and encourage-
ment that the State can give it. No one conversant with the
situation doubts that California is destined to eventually become
one of the greatest wine and brandy producing countries in the
world, or that she will derive a vastrevenue from her viticultural
products, which at the present time bring millions of dollars into
the State annually. To say that a State Commission represent-
ing such an industry should be deliberately hampered and ren-
dered helpless, because a soreheaded politicial outcast wants to
gratify his personal spite, is the wildest folly.
If the law-makers at Sacramento will investigate the matter,
they will find that there is a general desire among all classes of
wine men, that the Viticultural Commission should be fostered,
by reason of the fact that it is doing good work in promoting the
wine industry. This is the feeling even among those in the
trade who were at one time bitterly opposed to the continuance
of this institution.
These are facts which our legislators should carefully con-
sider before taking any action on the appropriation.

have them.

Since our last advices there has been no change in the whisky
market worthy of mention. In fact both bourbons and ryes are
at a standstill in all ages younger than 88's, and probably will be
for some time to come. Old goods — '87's and '88's are in active
demand. The market, however, has a fairly firm tone and there
are no groiinds for anxiety regarding the immediate future.
W. S. Barnes, the well-known distiller of Lexington, was in
the city last week for a brief visit.
Tom Pepper, the Lexington giant and representative of
the Wm. Tarr Distillery, was into see us a few days ago. He

E/NCOU-RAGI/NG FACTS.
After permitting phylloxera to run riot for years, the promi-
nent growers whose vineyards have been devastated by the pest,
have decided that it is best U) save their property from total
destruction. As a result there is a demand for resistant stocks
that is far beyond the supply. :
We have long urged the necessity for such action on the part
of growers, and it is gratifying to know that they have at last
discovered the unwisdom of their course and are preparing to
stamp out the destroyer of their property. The time is certainly
ripe for calling a halt inthisdirection,for it requires no prophetic
vision to see that the margin of supply over the demand for
California wines is becoming very close. The annual figures
published in the last issue of the Review show that the exports
for 1890 were over 9,000,000 gallons. The consumption of native
wine in this State is growing at a very rapid rate and is now
estimated at 7,000,000 gallons per annum. This gives us a total
of 16,000,000 gallons accounted for. A very liberal estimate of
the '90 vintage is 19,000,000 gallons — a figure far beyond the
approximations of those in a position to give an intelligent idea
of the product. Upon this basis we would have a surplus of
3,000,000 gallons, aside from the stocks carried over from former
years, and it is well known that these were much less in the
aggregate than they have been for several years past.
Taking these facts into connection with the production of
brandy during the past distilling season- — representing in round
numbers 5,000,000 gallons of wine distilled — it does tot appear
that there is much wine in the cellars of this State for which
there should not be a fair demand during the current year.
In considering these figures of production and consumption
it is proper to remember further the fact that the increase of ex-
ports in 1890 was about 1,200,000 gallons against an increase of
684,945 gallons in 1889. In is reasonable to suppose that the
growth of demand will be in an equal ratio with that of last year
and as there can be no marked increase in production for several
years to come, there is every reason to believe that within two
years the demand for our wines will be as great or greater than
the supplJ^ With such a condition of affairs it is well to begin
replanting diseased vineyards with resistant stocks and put an
end to the diminution of the product to the end that when the eia
of renewed prosperity comes the growers will be in a position to
profit by it.

SAeCHAHI/Ne l/N MUST.
Soine Facts for the Internal Revenue Department to Gare-
fully Gonsider.
In response to Conimissioner Mason's request to President
De Turk to furnisli what information he could on tlie saccharine;
contents of must used for sweet wine making, (Jharles A.
Wetmore, acting as Viticultural officer of tlio State Commission
prepared the following report which was transmitted to
Commissioner Mason:
San Francisco, February 2nd, 1891.
/. D^ Turk, President Board of State VUieultural Commmionem,
San Francisco, Ca^-^Dear Sir: In reply to your request for a re-
port upon the saccharine strength of natural grape musts in ('al-
ifornia and elsewhere, such as are commonly used in making
Bweet wines, permit me to submit the following:
By reference to the numerous reports of discussions before
the State Viticultural Conventions and other meetings of vine
growers assembled for the exchange of opinions and the dissem-
ination of information of practical value, you will find frequent
allusions to grape musts containing high degrees of sugar. From
these allusions you will observe that the fact of such high degree
existing should never be questioned, and therefore no formal
statements as to degrees of sugar in all cases has ever been made
— no occasion having ari.sen requiring it. The published analy-
ses of Scientific Societies and Professors of Chemistry are nearly
all confined to experience in countries where only dry wines are
produced; and to those who are not familiar with practical wine-
making, the information should be given that, generally, when
talking of wines and the chemical composition of pure musts for
wine making, it is understood that only musts for di-y wines are
considered. For this reason, for instance, every wine maker is
provided with a saccharometer. In countries where it is diffi-
cult to get a sufficiency of sugar to make a sound, durable wine,
this saccharometer is used in connection with other means of ob-
servation, to determine when grapes are ripe enough to pick in
order to make a good, sound, dry wine. On the Rhine and in
nearly all parts of France, this is the common question because
the musts never attain an excessive degree of sugar, and the
great difficulty is only to get sugar enough. In California and
in such countries as Spain and Portugal, this rule of practice is
ditVereut. In those countries the wine maker is constantly on
his guard to prevent the grapes from acquiring too much sugar,
if he desires to make dry wines. The saccharometer, therefore,
Avith him is used for the purpose of knowing when he imi-d begin
to pick, in order to prevent the grapes from getting over-ripe.
So common is this knowledge among our wine makers that it is
scarcely referred to, not being a subject to question.
Notwithstanding tliis condition of our viticultural information
60 far as published reports go, you will find numerous allusions
in printed reports of the past, to the high degree of sugar fro-
quently obtained in practical work. For instance turn to the
report of the State Viticultural Convention held at Irving Hall,
San Francisco, in March 1886, which report we do not have as
a State document, but as published by the S%n Franelieo Merchant
from the official notes of our own stenographer. In the record
of the proceedings of the third day, afternoon session, you will
find a discussion of the problems of fermentation arising from the
unusual climatic influences of the preceding year, during which
muisual high degrees of sugar were obtained, and constxpient dif-
ficult fermentations were experienced in the cellars in which dry
wine were made. In this discussion, you will find Prof Ililgard,
of the State ITniversity, saying as follows, with regard to the ex-
periences of the vintage of 1885:
"In the first place, as you all understand, the vintage came
around in a great hurry. The grapes in nearly ail portions of
the country liad a very large amount of sugat; they ripened in
hot haste. I Jiave seen a great many gra[>es go to the ferment-
ing vat with twenty-nine, thirty, and oven thirty-two per cent.
of sugar. Of course the fermenting under those circumstances
was a somewhat criticial question. You know that any wine
with more than twenty-eiglit per cent, of sugar is apt to ferment
out with some difficulty. It requires peculiarly favorable cir-
cumstances to bring about a thoroughly dry wine in that ca«e.
Of course it can l)e done. You may ferment out thirty per cent.,
provided the cir<!umstancx;s are all favorable."
Again in the same address, you will find him saying
further on:
"I had one wine sent me which originally started at thirty-
five per cent, of sugar, and those that sent it imagined that it
could be fermented out, which of course it could not. The wine
happened to remain sound because it fermented out to fifteen
per cent, of alcohol, and that was enough to prevent its going
wrong. But in other cases wines that have as much as twenty
eight per cent, of sugar, fermented out ten per cent, of alcohol,
and all the rest of the sugar remained."
By reference to the discussion which followed, you will per-
ceive that the fact of high degrees of sugar was never questioned,
and the only question was what to do under such circumstances
in making dry wines.
Now again, turn to the report of the Third Annual State
Convention, held in November and December, 1884, published
also by the San Franckco Merchant. Be it remembered, however
that the reports of these conventions, while not coming from the
the State Printer's office, were practically official, because this
Commission furnished all the material from our own stenograph-
ic reports, and revised all the proofs before publishing.
On page 97 of his report, you will find that I was engaged,
in discussing the difficulties of the 1884 vintage, which were dia-
metrically opposite to those of 1885, referred to before. In 1884
climatic influences prevented a high degree of sugar, and in many
cases, the wines did not acquire a sufficiency for perfection and
durability. The remarks, however, serve to illustrate the fact
which I am attempting to explain, and the high degrees of sugar
are commonly understood, and required no formal report, explan-
ation or analyses. For instance, I quote from the short hand
report of what was said by myself on that occasion, regarding
the vintage of 1884:
"In our blends which will be noticed here, we have attempt-
ed to explain that, but unfortunately we have had a bad season.
Zinfandel usnallj-^ shows in Napa County, 34 to 36 per cent, of
sugar, and the Mataro say 24. We intended for one experiment
to mix the Zinfandel which had a superfluity of sugar, witli the
Mataro which had an abundance of tannin, and a white grape
that had only 22 per cent, thus bringing it down to an average of
24, but we found it impossible to carry this out. You cannot
take this vintage as a staple for the future. In Folsom this year
they have found it difficult to get 20 per cent, of sugar in the
Zinfandel, and I have been informed that they did not get that
much. In Stockton, they got about 19 to 20 per cent, where
they usually get from 26 to 28 per cent."
Again on page 101, second column, you will find the follow-
ing remarks in the address made by Mr. Portal, of Santa Clara.
He said:
"I have picked Mataro with 26 degrees of sugar, and I have
picked Poulsard at 32 degrees of sugar, and it was one of these
that I fermented in 24 hours."
I make these references to reports published years ago be-
before there was any issue as to the facts concerning the sacchar-
ine develojmient in musts. Since receiving your inquiry, I have
been surprisetl not to find as I had expectetl, abundant reference
in numerous works on wine making in the sweet wine countries,
to the saccharine contents of grape musts. No one seems to have
taken the trouble to publish what every wine maker must know.
I find, however, touching on this subject, a casual remark on
page 143 of the work entitled: "Facts about Port and Maderia,"
by Henry Vizetelly, an established authority in England, who
represented the British Government at several of the great
World's I^airs, and who is the author of numerous important
works on wine, as follows:
"It is not his intc^rest to add spirit in excess, as its cost is
much greater than the best wine; besides which, the wine ship-
ped with the smallest amount of adventitious spirit is certainly
the wine to be preferred. Mr. M. J. Ellis of the firm of W. & J.

matter of wonder why the nntjority of the sw«H't wines of the
State are not made from must** naturally containing 4(» |M-r cent.
All readers of \-iticultural literature ar»> familiar with the
IJict that in making such wines a« the firaiid Tohtyrr. of Hungarj-.
and the celebratetl Tin* De I\iUle of Southern Fnuice. an «'xcw-
sive degree of sugar is Horaetim(>s ohtaincHl by twisting the stems
of the grapes while hanging on the vines, thereby dun-king the
flow of watery sap and causing by evaporation and drying pn)-
eoooai an increase of saccharine; or sometimes by laying the
grapes after picking and Itefore crushing. «iiK>n straw until they
become panh>sic«ite<l; and by other similar metluMls jurording to
the taste of the wine maker, all of which are iR-rfeetly legitimate.
and necessarj' to the highest develoiH'nient of quality in swwt
wines. In Oilifoniia. it is |)ossible in most years, by "leaving the
grik|H'M on the vines to rii)en a long while and then by partial des-
icxrjition after pi<>king and l»efore crushing, to obtain musts of
saocharinc strength at any degree, according to l<K-al circuni-
Btancxss running from thirty to forty or even Jifty j)er cent, of
migar. The <-omplication of this ai)parent question, which is
reaily no question at all, arises from the fiwt that verj' few wine
makers make swwt wines by actual prefertmce. The majority of
the aweet wines are made from grapes which ac<'idently get t<x)
high in sugar for dry wine making, or which are of a iiiiality not
suited for dry wines. If we are ever to have swwt wines of' very
high quality suited to the tastes of connoisseurs, the policy of the
CJovemment must lH'precis<'ly the opposite from that which lias In-en
a-lopteil through a want of knowledge of the actual con<lition of Cal-
ifornia wine making and the conditions abroad. I mean by this
that a sw«-et wine should have as little addition of distilled spirit
as iHjflsible, and to accomplish this the must, when fermente<l.
must have as high a degree of sugar as possible. If any swet^t
wineaare to be looked upon with suspicion so far as public policy
is conoemcd, those which are che<-ked most in the prcM-i'ss of fer-
mentation with the largest addition of spirits should Ik' the <)n«>s
disoourage<l. I, mys(«lf. during the last vintage, by partially
dealocating a jwrtion of a crop of Matai-o grajx-s. and "keeping ol»
the vines more of the sjune kind until they Ix'gan to shrivel, ol)-
teined a must of over thirty jM-r cent, on a varit^ty which usually
gives not more than twenty-four or twenty-five per cent. Crush-
ing the late picked grapes ujwn the partially desiccatetl grap««s, I

any |Missible <listurlmnce of tlu^ «'lemcnts o"f the wine, it would
be iKwt to a<l<l now two |M-r cent, of brandy. This I was intend-
ing to do at my leisure, until deterr<'<l from having anything
further to do with swe«-t wine and free fortification by the 'ns-ent
rulings of the Internal Revenue l)c|Mirtnienl. If there is any
doubt as to whether our grapes may under projwr cinumstuncwj
. (.main a high d. gi<e of Mi;;:ir. I might suggest that some lot of
wine, such as that of mine, which contains sixteen i>er cent, and
over of ah-ohol. should Im- wizcil. on Mi.«picioii that the alcoholic
stn-ngth .•ontaiiuHl therein must have Imi-u fraudulently obtainwl.
If the wine which I have, containing sixtcH-n jkt cent, of alcohol
shall In- found, as wouhl U- the cas«'. absolutely pure and legiti-
mate wine, and if in the course of the investigiition it should Iks
disc<»vere<l that such wines are frequently to Ik' met with, the
lc<liiii<al quesli<»n as to the natural stnngth of the musts in our
swtH-l wine making would forever Im- diKj»os«'d of.
Hscond: The rules of the Internal Revenue Department
with reference to sweet wine making in difl'erent sections of the
riiit«<l Stati-s. should vary in accordanc*' with known variations
in the natural conditions for wine making. As a matter of fa<'t,
the iK-partnient should look with suspicion ni>on oinj swe»'t wine
coming from ninj Stat*- east of the Ro<ky Mcmntains. claiming
the privileges of the Sweet Wine Law. this is <lue to the fact
that Hoic/ifTf east of the R<Mky Mountains is there any nalunil
must of (iiiy graiw lit to make a natural and pure sweet wine. If
such wiiH-s arc pnMliiccd cast of the Rocky Mcmntains, under (ikj/
<(>iiditions worthy of rcs|K'ct l)y the Department, it should 1h'
only ill the c-.ise of wines niaile with the aid of conctnlrahd
iiiu.Ht.H. Any riih' of the Departiiieiit which s«'«'ks to diwredit
and disciiiirage tiie use of concentrated musts in making swi-et
wines, will surely encourage lictitioiis wines, sweetened fraudu-
lently in imitation of natural projM'rties.
Pure grape juict', in any form, whether obtained fr< in grajH-s
aesicciitiHl before picking from the vines, or desiw«ted after pick-
ing and l»eforc crushing, or dessicat<'d after expression by conct»n-
tration, alwajs provided that no foreign suljstaiice is added,
should be considere<l as legitimate by the Department, and in-
stead of being discourage<l, should be encouraged, in order to
promot<' legitimate work, and discourage fraudulent mcthotls of
iiiiitating sweet wines.
Third: It is only in certain yeare and in certain localities in
California, where it is not absolutely nwessary in order to pre-
vent many varieties of vines from prmlucing a saccharine strength
in the must of over twenty-six, t\venty-eight and even thirty jK'r
ciMit., to gsitlier the crop hurriedly, the saceharoiueter lieiiig uhi'<1
continually in the field to jirevent the grapes from gottiugaway from
ctintrol. No fact is better known, than that by r.'a.soii of iiuex-
pwted or unavoidable delays in gathering crops, or sudden spells
of hot weather, during the vintage, that it Ikm-oiucs nwessary in
all wineries devoted to making dry wines, to add water to the
musts in order to reduce those which run al)ove a certain degree
of sugar, or elsi- to mix with those running high in sugar, musts
of some grapes as the Burger, which runs low in sugar,
I will close this rcfwrt by calling your attention to the en-
clo8e«l cojiy of a report made to me by the Manager of the Rx-
perimental Cellar of the Commission, in which he gives a list of
a numlK'r of tests made of wines submitted to him, known to W.
natural and pure, and containing high degrees of alcohol. In
some of tliest' instances, where for instance he finds fifteen per
cent, of alcohol, there has been naturally in the wine still unfi r-
mente<l sugar to the extent of sometimes three to five deuces.
These stat«'ments should be sufficient to satisfy all govi*nment
officers that the alcoholic strength of a wine and its siux-harine
strength also, by reji.sou of large degrees should not be a cau.st' of
suspicion.
Let me also state, in conclusion, what we all know, but what
may not be fully underst<HKl in the Ka.stern States, that to add
any form of sugar to our wines or musts, when grapt^ sell at '
twelve dollars ($12) jht ton. would 1k' wholly iinj)racticable, and
unprofitable, the natural sugsir iK-ing the cheaiH'st of all, and
rich musts only too easy to obtain.

THE SA/S JOAQCII/N DISTHICT.
Tlie following extracts from the report of Viticultural Com-
missioner West referring to viniculture, will be of particular
interest to the wine men:
To the Board of State Vitietdttt/ral Commmioyiers:
Gentlemen: — In reviewing the progress of grape growing in
the San Joaquin District since my last report, a greater devel-
opement will be shown than in any other part of the State.
In the coimty of San Joaquin there has been no marked in-
crease in tlie acreage of vines. The entire acreage will not ex-
coed three tliousand. These vineyards are devoted exclusively to
table and wine grapes, both of which are profitable. Many
of tlie wine vineyards have paid one hundred dollars per acre at
the prevailing price of twelve and thirteen dollars per ton for
grapes.
Table grapes are more profitable and have been sold at from
thirty-five to sixty dollars per ton. Tlie demand seems unlimited
and it is probable that a larger acreage will be planted. The pro-
duct of wine for 1890 was ab^ut 500,000 gallons.
Stanislaus county has done little so far, but contains thous-
ands of acres of fine land which will soon be developed by the
si\ eral irrigation schemes now materializing. The county is well
adapted to the growth of raisin grapes, to which the most atten-
tion will probably bo paid for the present. There will be a large
planting this winter.
Merced county has done considerable planting in the past
year, and this season will see a large aci-eage planted in Muscats,
which will undoubtedly thrive. Wines and brandies of good
quality have been produced. The county now contains nearly
two thousand acres of vines.
Kern county has about twelve hunderd acres of Muscats,
mostly young vinos, all of which are doing well. A larger plant-
ing will follow this winter.
Tulare county has done more than any county in the dis-
trict, except Fresno, in developing the grape industry. The
growers now number four hundred and sixty-five owning ten
thousand acres of vineyard, two thousand five hundred acres
of whicli are in bearing. Few wine grapes are grown. All the
raisin vineyards are in good condition and those in bearing are
paying handsomely. The present winter will see an exceedingly
large acreage of new vines planted. We now turn our attention
to Fresno county, the banner grape growing county in the state.
The county contains 49,500 acres of vineyard owned by
about 1,600 gi'owers; 5,600 acres are planted in wine grapes and
43,900 acres are in raisin gi*apes.
The conHuini)tion of raisins in this couittry increased only
400,000 boxes in the seven years from 1884 to 1890. Allowing
for a much greater proportionate increase of consumption for the
next few years, the consumption in America, when the California
vineyards of to-day are in bearing, may be placed at 4,000,000
boxes. From these estimates we may place the California prod-
uct of 1895 at 7,600,000 boxes and the American consumption at
4,000,000 boxes.
The wine vineyards are nearly all in full bearing now and
are good paying investments. The vintage of 1890 was probably
the largest that will be seen in California for many years and as
tlie production and consiunption are nearly equal, the consump-
tion increasing and the production as large as it will be for many
years, the growers can look forward with tolerable certainty to
at least ten years of good prices even if the condition of market-
ing were not changed. I can however see nothing to encourage
or stimulate the planting of wine vineyards at present.
Tlie market for the past two years has been greatly relieved
by the drying of many tliousand tons of wine grapes which were
sold as dried grapes.
A general impression prevailed last season that these grapes
wore largely used in making wines in the East. In this opinion
I do not sliare, as I know positively that very large quantities
were actually sold to take the place of other dried fruits especially
prunes. There will be a market for this product until supplanted
by the Muscat, but by that time the quantity now dried will not
in any way aftect the market when turned into wine.
Fresno county produces Ports, Sherries, Angelicas, Sweet
Muscats and Brandies of excellent quality. The sweet wine in-
dustry, developed under the new sweet wine law, will undoubtedly
assume large proportions and the growers are certainly to be con-
gratulated on the bright prospects for good prices and a constantly
increasing demand for tlieir products. A vei-y considerable export
trade has been built up in the business of shipping California
brandies to Europe, which will have a tendency to relieve the
market of any surplus and insure good prices.
In tlie wineries of Fresno county about 12,000 tons of grapes
were cruslied during the vintage of 1890, the product being
turned into sweet and dry wines and brandy.
Respectfully submitted,
Geo. West.
Commissioner.

Our attention has been called to the fact that unlawful use
is being made of our trade mark, which consists of a crescent or
half-moon, by distillers and dealers in whisky, who should, and
do, know that they are appropriating that which belongs to
others.
We now, therefore, take this public method of notifying one
and all, that any further infringement of our trade mark will be,
vigorously prosecuted to the end of the law without further notice.

To the Trade: — We desire to inform our friends and the trade
in general, that the production of tlie celebrated Thomas Moore's
Possum Hollow pure rye whisky during the present year will
only be 3.000 barrels. This is for the purpose of protecting the
holders of the goods and is done without solicitation, it being a
well-known fact that not a barrel is being offered on the market,
and all are held by the leading dealers of the country.
Tliankful for courtesies extended to us in the past, and
soliciting a continuance of your valued orders, we remain

Of bitters wo have many kinds and qualities. There is the
extremely nauseous mixture usually called "stomach bitters,"
which many makers are in the habit of turning (mt, but this is
a mistake, for an article where the bitter principle is too pro<lom-
inant is not a success. Though it is a bitter it must be a palat-
able one, or the jjublic will not have it at any price. Take for
instance, the celebrated "Angostura," "Leslie's Stomach," and
"Hostetter's." These bitters have been before the world for a
considerable periotl, and still bold the highest position amongst
tlii'ir class. They contain a bitter principle, but only to a slight
extent, but they are aromatic, and it is to the blending of the
aromatic flavors that their success is due.
Hitti'i-s should l>c manufactured solely from the herbs, roots,
barks, 8ee<ls or peel necessary; the use of essential oils, I do not
(•(msider ju(li<'ious; by using tho tincture of the herbs, etc., you get
the real jiiire flavor and aroma nniuired, delicate and true. For
the bitter principle we have chiretta, gentian root, columbo root,
chichona bark, worm-wood and (luassia; for aromatics — calamus
r<M)t, galangel root, cinnamon, anise, cardainon seeds, nutmeg
and snake r(M)t; for an astringent — Catechu; for fruit flavors —
lemon and orange jhh^Is; and to im])art fullness, raisins, prune-,
soluzzi or li(|iiorice juice. II<mey is usihI in many higlwl.i
bitters to impart the uwessary swei'tness, but should only Ihmiso*!
in those containing a large tpiaiitity of spirit. For coloring j»ur-
IM>H(>s we have cochineal, saffVon, turmeric, alkanet root, saiulal-
w<mm1. carinel, etc.; fniin tht^w articles, taken acnmling to the
flavor r.><iuired, the U»«s bitters an> manufacturiHl. A gmxl way
for makers who wish to try something new is to extract a tincture
from each article si>pamtely. and then exiwrimont as desired; if
you are devot«'<l to your business a little trying will amply repay

FAMOUS DISTILLE-RS.
The following deserved tributes to some of the famous dis-
tillers of the United States, appeared in the holiday issue of
Mida's Criterion:
Jairies Levy & Bro.
(jTT HE great interest of straight Kentucky whiskies owes to no
A other firm, nor to any other half dozen firms, so great a
measure of its present recognition among the masses, as it does
to that of James Levy & Bro., of Cincinnati. The amount of
work in this direction and the quantity and quality of the goods
liandled by this house would, if it could be recounted, fill a vol-
ume. To such a degree have fine whiskies and Jim Levy been
identified that whatever brand this firm has taken hold of rises
ai once in value. The trade throughout the United States recog-
nizes their standing and the value of their endorsement. Cohfi-
dence, the basis of all transactions, follows their every move. The
combination of the best talent in their respective spheres works
most harmoniously in the membership of this firm.
lio salesman of the present generation has ever approached
the talent displayed by Mr. James Levy. His untiring industry,
extending over a quarter of a century on the road, studying the
wants of the trade and keeping his finger ever on the business
pulse, enabled him to keep at all times abreast of the popular
movement.
Mr. Albert Levy, in his sphere as the head of the office
department, watching the home interests with tireless zeal, can-
not be excelled. With such two motors, the acquirement of fame
and wealth could easily have been predicted.
Of late years, Mr. Harris, a graduate of the firm, who, in
addition to his natural talents, has been constantly under the in-
spiring influences of two such master minds as James and Albert
Levy, has proved to be a great adjunct to the business. No
wonder that among the younger generation no one is a more
accomplished business man, commanding the confidence and re-
spect of the entire trade in a higher degree than Mr. Geo. Harris.
And last, but not least, the scion of Mr. Albert Levy, Harry
Levy, who, during the past few years, has been relieving to a
great extent the work of his father, follows faithfully and with
signal ability the footsteps of his prototype, bidding fair to be the
worthy son of a worthy sire.
It would be superfluous to enumerate all the brands controlled
by this firm, and the mere statement that the destiny of " W. H.
McBrayer," " Susquehanna Rye," "Tea Kettle" and "Richwood"
is in their hands is sufficient to place these among the foremost in
the ranks of popular brands.
Thompson Distilling Go., Ltd.
^TT^HE Thompson name first became known in connection with
^ the distilling business during the Revolutionary war. Son
succeeded father until the present company was formed in the
fall of '89, at which time they purchased the distillery and brand
from Samuel Thompson.
The plant was purchased with a view of manufacturing a
strictly pure rye whisky— as fine as could be made, and to give it
as good a storage as could be constructed. To carry out that
purpose, all the old machinery was torn out and the house was
equipped with the best and latest machinery known to the dis-
tilling trade; a new brick warehouse, which is not excelled in the
country, was also built.
This gave the company a total storage capacity of 20,000
barrels, at an insurance rate of eighty cents per hundred.
Their first mash was made on December 23, 1889, and by the
end of the present year they will have manufactured nearly 4,800
barrels, of which they hold less than 200 barrels.
Their fall '90 product amoiints to less than 1,800 barrel8,but
had they run at their full fermenting capacity they could have
made over 3,000.
Their spring '91 pro<luct will not exceed 3,000 barrels, of
which over two-thirds is already placed.
The policy of the company has always been to sell simply at
a manufacturer's legitimate profit, charge no premium on a limited
crop, and give the brand as wide a distribution among the best
distributing trade of the whole country, as quality, energy, fair
dealing, attention to details and judicious advertising would give
it.
At the end of spring '91 the original holders of the brand will
number over 100, and they are considered the best in their re-
spective sections.
A. Overholt & &>.
(Z^
HE " Overholt " brand of whisky was established in 1810,by
^^ Abraham Overholt, who, at that time mashed about one
bushel per day in a mortar. Owing to the limited demand the
production was not increased to any extent for a number of years,
and then only to about two barrels per day. The output from
then on steadily increased to ten barrels per day. When the fire
of 1884 took the entire plant the house was immediately rebuilt and
the capacity increased to twenty-five barrels per day, and owing
to the continued and increased demand for this whisky they de-
cided in the spring of 1889 to increase to fifty barrels per day, and
they have been producing since that date at the rate of about
12,000 barrels per annum.
When they contracted for fall '90 and spring '91, they were
besieged by a number of parties to increase their production and
supply them, but after giving the matter careful consideration
they decided it unwise to do so, and as a safeguard to their
customers their production this year will be several hundred bar-
rels less than last year. In addition to this they have always
adhered strictly to their policy outlined some years ago, viz: To
act as distillers only, and not carry any of their own whisky in
any shape or form, and thus not enter into competition with their
distributors, and they can say truthfully that they are not the
holders of any whisky and shall endeavor always to car^y out
this policy.
Until a few years ago, two customers took their entire pro-
duction, but now they have eighty-four original customers on
their books which allows an average of less than 100 barrels per
annum to each customer.
Their 87's have all been unbonded, 88's have almost ceased
to be a factor owing to a very limited amount remaining, and
their customers are drawing heavily upon spring 89 's for their
supply.
Owing to the success that has been meted out to them we
cannot but predict for " Overholt " a brilliant future.
R. Monarch.
(Z^Tm.01^G the most conservative distillers, who reflect lustre
^r\j^ upon our interest, R. Monarch stands unrivaled. In eyery
movement calculated to promote the best interests of the trade
Mr. Monarch has ever been found in the vanguard, entirely obliv-
ious to his self interest, and to such an extent has this sterling,
honest and upright man been recognized by the trade that no
movement can inspire confidence that has not " Uncle Dick," as
he is familiarly known, among its advocates and promoters.
The possession of wealth can be attained by many; a name,
however, such as R. Monarch enjoys among his confreres, is the
fortune of but very few. To attain both name and afiluance is
the lot of still fewer. No wonder, therefore, that those handling
brands which are the creation of such a man, or with which he is
identified, must have their confidence inspired in their intrinsic
merits and in their value.

E. II. Taylor Jr.. of " Old Taylor" whisky fame, who is
Mayor of Frankfort. Ky., has iigiiin had occasion to veto a sumj)-
tuary law i»ass«'d by the council of that city. It was an ordinance
prohibiting the sale of cigsirettes. Liist year a similar law was
piissed over his veto, but this time the Colonel came out on top.
In the course of his last veto which wa.s sustained by the council,
he uses the following unanswerable argument, and calls attention
to the anomalous jwisition of s(>veral memlH>rs of the councU,
connected with the distilling interests of that section:
" In princijjal the ordinance is wrong. The excessive use of
tobacco is genenilly rwogiiized as an evil. The excessive use of
intoxicating licjuor has lieen, and is, to a greater extent, recog-
nized as harmful to tlie human race. Therefore, by legislation in
the way of licence and revenue laws, government has taken up<m
itself a suiH'rvisi(m of the tratTic in lK)th tobacco and spirits. It
hits even given to the people in certain districts the right to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor in their Iwunds. It has not g<me so far
in the matter of tobacco. IJut the princij)le is the same in Unh
cas«'s. The sam«' jM)wer must lye exercised in the one csme as. in
the other. I am unable to find any act of the Ix'gislaturc giving
this extraordinary jwwer over the siUe of tolmcco to your honor-
able ImmIv. In the abs<'nce of sucJi a provision, it would jM'rhajis
not 1k' risking too much to say that the jwwer rests only with
the iKH^ple at the ballot-box, and not even with them until the
General Assembly indicates how it shall l)e exercised.
Three members of your honorable iKHly are c-onnwted with
the whisky interest which forms so large a part of our material
wealth. One is an oflicer of the comi)any which controls the
'• Hermitage" and " Old Crow" Distilleries"; another is, jn-olwbly,
the most prominent saloon keejier in the city of Frankfort; the
third is S<vretary and manager of the "O. F. C." and "Carlisle"
.Distilleries. Thes«' gentlemen, it is true, advwatid and vot<d
for this ordinance. Hut I am sure that they did not consider the
matter carefully. Had they done so, they would have wen that
tlu' absolute authority which your pr«'s«-nt a<'tion implies would
also enable you to pi-ohibit the sjile, gift or l>arter,or nuinufacture
of ardent spirits in the city limits."

-RECE/NT T-REASU-Ry BECISIOMS.
MARKING, STAMPING, BRANDING, ETC., OF IMPORTED GOODS AND PACK-
AtiES UNDER SECTION 6 OF THE Atrr OF OCTOBER 1 , 1890.
Treasury Department, December 20, 1890.
To Officers of the Ciistoms and otliers concerned:
Section (i of the act of October 1, 1890, provides as follows:
That on and after the first day of Man^h, eighteen hundred
and ninety-one, all articles of foreign manufacture, such as are
usiuilly or ordinarily marked, stamped, branded or labeled in
legible Engli.sh words, so as to indicate the country of their origin;
and unless so marked, stamped, branded or labeled they shall not
be adniitt 3(1 to entry.
While the question as to whether goods imported on and
aftt'i- March 1, 1891, are properly "marked, stamped, branded or
labeled" under the above provision is to bo decided by collectors
of custom at the time of importation, and the language of the
section is so plain as to hardly reciuire an interpretation by the
Department, yet, in view of the great number of inquiries re-
ceived from importers and others, it is deemed proper to publish
some of the conclusions reached by the Department in the prem-
ises for the information of all concerned.
1. AV'hile only such goods or articles of foreign manufacture
"as are usually or ordinarily marked, stampsd, branded or
labeled" are required to be so marked, etc., on and after the first
of March, 1891, j'ct it will be observed that all packages, outside
or other, containing any imported merchandise must be so marked,
etc., to entitle the contents thereof to entry at the custom-house.
2. In the case of champagne wines, mineral waters, etc., in
hibeled bottles, the law will be substantially complied with if the
outside packages are marked with the name of the country of
origin.
3. In the case of bottles with more than one label contain-
ing imported goods, the law will be complied with if but one of
the labels thereon bears the name of the country of origin.
4. The prefix "from" placed before the nam i of a country
of origin, as, for instance, ''from France," "from Germany," etc.,
is not essential, the law requiring simply the name of the country
of origin to appear.
5. Goods coming from England, Scotland Ireland and Wales
may be marked "Great Britain," but gootls marked "England,"
"Scotland," etc., would not be excluded. It is held, however,
that the name of the mother country of origin appearing on
goods instead of the names of kingdoms, states, or divisions of
countries, would more closely meet the requirements of the law.
6. The law does not require the name of the importer,
shipper, or maker, to be marked, stamped, etc., on imported
articles or packages.
7. Marking by stenciling with some indelible material would
be a compliance with the law.
8. It is held that the word "Scotch" appearing on goods
coming from Scotland would be sufRcient under said provision.
CHINESE WINES.
New York, November 15, 1890.
Before the Board of United States General Appraisers at New
York, November 14, 1890,
In the matter of the protest. No. 962(», of Sun Kwong On,
against the assessment of duty at various rates by the collector
of customs at New York on certain Chinese wines, imported per
Wandering Jew, April .30, 1890.
Opinion by Stackpole, General Appraiser.
In this case the importers protest against the collector's
action in assessing duty at the rate of $2 per gallon and 3 cents
per bottle (under T. I., new, 310, 311 and 313) upon certain so-
called Chinese wine, and at 50 cents per pound and 30 per cent,
ad valorem on the bottles containing the same (under T. I., 118
and 133), on certain other Chinese wine, claiming that the first
so-calied wine is dutiable at oue of the following' rates, viz: $1.60
per 12 qvxart on 24 pint bottles, under T. I., 308; 20 per cent, ad
valorem under T. I., 301, or $2 per gallon on the alcohol contained,
and 25 per cent, ad valorem under T. I., 103; and that the second
class should be assessed either on one of these classes, or under
T. I., 311, or as a propriety preparation under T. I., 99.
Examinations of both classes of wine have recently been
made. The first class of wine appears to be neither a juice ex-
l)ressed from fruit manufactured into a wine of commerce, nor a
natural fruit juice, but a spirituous liquor produced by a process
of distillation. (G. A. 40, Sept. 20, 1890.) The second class
appears to be a medicinal preparation containing alcohol (see
Synopsis 9083), and there is no reason to think that it is prepared
under any special private formula, that it is used for cure of any
special disease, or has any other attribute to bring it within the
class of "propriety preparations."
The assessment of both classes being in accordance with the
true nature of theso so-called "wines" as thus ascertained, was
correct and hereby affirmed.
GINGER ALE BOTTLES.
New York, November 19, 1890.
Before the Board of United States General Appraisers at New
York, November 6, 1890.
In the matter of the protests, 768a, etc., of E. J. Burke and
W. A. Ross & Bro., against the assessment of duty by the col-
lector of the ports of New York on certain ginger ale bottles,
imported per various steamers in August and September, 1890,
described in the accompaning schedule.
Opinion by Wilkinson, General appraiser.
Duty was assessed at 20 per cent., the collector holding that
under the act of June 10, 1890, the bottles constituted an element,
in the foreign market, of the merchandise. Appellants claim
free entry under paragraph 317, act of March 3, 1883.
Paragraph 317 provides: "Ginger ale or ginger beer, 20 per
cent, ad valorem; but no separate or additional duty shall be
collected on bottles or jugs containing the same."
The courts held this limitation to mean that the bottles were
not subject to any duty.
The question now at issue is whether this proviso in para-
graph 317 was repealed by the general repealing clause, section
29 of the act of June 10, 1890,' thus making the bottles liable to
duty as a covering or cost incident to placing the merchandise in
condition packed ready for shipment.
It is a well-settled principle of law (Enlich on Statutes,
Generalia speckiUbus non derogant") that a general provision for re-
peal does not repeal a specific clause. The limitation in para-
graph 317 is therefore not abrogated.
The claim of the appellants is sustained, and the entry should
be reliquidated accordingly. '
FILLED BOTTLES.
New York, November 26, 1890.
Before the Board of United States General Appraisers at New
York, November 26, 1890.
In the matter of the protest. No. 21836, of F. H. Shallus,
against the rate of duty assessed by the collector of customs at
Baltimore on filled bottles, imported per Nessmore, October 13,
1890.
Opinion of Sharretts, General Appraiser.
It appears from the papers submitted to us in the present
case, that duty was assessed upon an importation of jams and
marmalades at 35 per cent, ad valorem, the correctness of which
assessment is not in dispute. Protest was duly filed, however,
against the exaction of40per cent, ad valorem upon bottles or jars
containing the same, the protestant claiming that in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph 104 of the act of October 1,
1890, the value of the bottles or other vessels should have been
added to the contents and the whole returned for duty as an en-
tirety at 35 per cent, ad valorem.
It is quite apparent that the determination of the question

Paragraph 103 is complete; there are no conditiouH inipoHed
therein. Certain t(pii-ifie<l articlcH are Kubjected to fixed duticH
dependent u\Hm their weight and holding cajmcity — two require-
menta cany of determination with rt-gstrd to empty iMittlcH.
Paragraph 104 then provider for similar articles am those
enumerated in iiaragraph KW, the weight and holding capacity
of which can not be discovered without injurj- to their contents,
and in onler to overconu' this difficulty it re<piircs that the value
of the U>ttlet<, vials or other vessels containing goods subject to
ad valorem raten of duty shall Ihs addnl to the value of their
contentM for the ascertainment of the rate and amount of duty
chaiigeable thertntn. Inasnuich, however, as this rule would lead
to great variations in the rate« of duty applicable to filled Iwttlcs
unlcHH restricttnl in sonM» manner, a proviso was adde<l to jiara-
graph UH. which fixwl the minimum rate at 40 per <«nt. ad va-
loM'm. Th<' intent of ("«mgn>ss is manifest, and the principle
enunciatiHl obtains, we entertain no doubt. It is a maxim of law
that a proviso n>lat4>s to the subjc<-t imnuKliately prwwling it.
The subji'4-t-malter fulfilling the.s«' conditions in the present in-
atanoe is IxMtles of a similar kind to those df^tTilxnl in {mragraph
103, when filletl; consequently the proviso must be eonstruwl a«
lieing applioible to |Ninigritph 104 in its entirety, but not to para-
grajth lo;j, which relates to a «lifl"er»-nt class of gomls, viz, Iwttles,
vials, etc., that are not fille<l. The use of the words "preceding
paragraph" in the pnniso is merely descriptive of the kind of
articleM when filhsl that arc to have imposed nim\ them athlitional
limitations. The concluding |>ortion of |Miragraph 104 must,
then-foH', Im' hehl to reml i\n follows: IVovUled, That no article
nuuiufactured fn)m glass similar to those descrilnHl in the pre-
ce<ling iMiragraph shall pay a less rate of duty when filled than
40 jwr cent, od valorem.
Theanenoncnt of duty upon the bottles under consideration,
being in acertnhince with the alx>ve ruling, is affirmed.
ANCIIOK BITTERS.
Nkw York, r)e«it>mber 1, 1««0.
Before the Board of I'nit^tl Kutt-s (Jeneral Ai)praiser8 at New
York.lH-^vmls'r 1, IHJK).
In the niatt<-r of th.> proti-st, No. !MX)a, of Knauth, NucIkkI
& Kulin. againut the rate of duty assessed by collector of cus-
Uims at New York on Anchor Bitt<'rs, imiwrted per Dania Julv
10,1890. '
Opinion of Wilkinwm, (iencnil Ajipraiser.
Duty was asaessed at $1' jn-r gjilbm on the bitters, under
paragraph ;n 3, and at 3 mits on the iM.ttU*, under jwragraph
310, of III.. jM-t of Man-h .'{, 1«K.'J.
Ap|M-llanti4 claim that the menliandiw should Ik- classified at
fiO per cent, on the bitl«rs as a proprietary pnparation, und.r
pamgraph OH, and at 30 per .-.nt. on the fille<l bottli!S, under
It is unn<H'«'ssary to consider whether Anchor Bitters is a
pn>prieUiry pr«'i>anvtion or not. If it is, it can l>e classified with
wjual propriety iw a spirituous l»everage, and the higher rate of
duty must pn'vail.
This bitters is sulwtantially similai to the spirituous leverages
euumenitiMl in paragraph '.WA of the act of 1883. Its laln-l
riH'ommends it as a drink, whether mixed with ice-water or as a
flavoring to a cock -tail; to Ih' taken to stimulate the api)etite
iM'foH' anil to assist digestion after eating, and as a stomach
strengthener at all tinuw.
The dwision of the collector is affirme<l accordingly.
In the opinion of this Board, use determines theclassifiattion
in the («se at bar. Paragraph 117 of the a<'t of March 3. 1883,
is as follows: "Coloring for brandy, .")0 per ctuit. ad valorem."
If the chemical comiMJund in question is coloring for brandy, it is
more sj>e<'ifically provided for in sjiid paragraph 117 than in
paragraph 92; indtHMl, it falls exactly under i)aragraph 117. The
most vital fact in the case is the original return of the appraiser
— the rftum on the face of the invoice — and this return is "brand}-
coloring." There is not a single fact in the case which supports
appellant's legal conclusion that their iniportaticm is classifiable
under said paragraj>h 215. On the contrary, all the facts nega-
tive the assumption of the protest that it is a crude mineral sul)-
stance.
We therefore fall back u|)on the original return of the ap-
praiser as the determining fact in the (Si.se, and the conclusion
would Ih' the ssime if it held that the rates provided by paragraphs
9'J and 1 1 7 are ecjually applicable luider section 2491) of Uie Kc-
vised Statutes.
The decision of the collector is affirmed.

on certain Boonekamp bitters, imi>orted per Jiahne, September

of the 14th instant, not yet printed.
The claim of the importers that it is entitled to entry as pro-
prietary preparaticm under paragraph 99 of the tarifl* act of
March 3, 1883, is considered as well founded.
Collector of Customs, San Francisco Cal.
The Supreme Court of South Dakota has decide<l against the
defendents in the original package case of the state of Stuitli
Dakota vs. Chapman et al. The court held that in order for de-
fendents to have immunity under the decision of the Supreme
Cjurt of the United States in the cjuse of Li'isy vs. Hardin, known
as the original package case, they must show: (1) That they are
fortugn importers or agents of a foreign iniiH)rter of IxH'r or
liquors; (2) that as such agents they receive an importation of
beer or liquor from another state or foreign country; (3) that
they are, as such importers or agents, selling this imfMirtation by
the original, unbroken package in which it was ini])orte(l; (4)
that they are not making their house of business a ti]>pling cou-
ceni or rendezvous of i)ersons, bringing it within the police
power of the state to declare it a nuisance. All these fa<'ts must
b«> fully estaldisluHl by the defendents in order to make the trans-
action legitimate' under the decision. The failure to establish
any of tlu^se projK)sitions makes a st>ller of intoxicating litpior
amendable to the state law. The court further holds that when
iKrttles of whisky orln'er, cju-h sealed uj) in a paia-r wrapjK'r and
closely pack<>d together in uncovered wiKxlen l>oxes, funiisluHl by
the importer, and these woo«Ien boxcj* marked to the a<ldress <)f
the ogi'ut, and shipment from one state to another, the woinlen
l)oxes and not the lK)ttlfs constitute the original package within
the meaning of the <hHisiou of the SupriMue Court of the United

A LOT OF S/NOBS.
VITICULTURAL RESTAURANT AND CAFE.
We would be pleased to have somebody accommodate us by
classifying the gentlemen who had the management of Governor
Markham's inaugural ball. From our point of view we regard
them as "plain ordinary" donkeys, but it is possible that they
are jackassfcs in disguise. We are led to these observations by
the fact that the committee in charge gave the wines of this State
no place on the menu cards.
The event was for the purpose of lending eclat to the in-
auguration of California's Governor. It was purely a California
aii'air, and as such the products of California's vineyards should
have been accorded the honor and attention due them on such an
occasion.
This is no animadversion to the wines that were drank at
the grand supper, nor do we suggest that only California wines
should have been used, but we do say that the action of the
committee, which was certainly intjutional, was a gratuitous
insult and an indirect injury to those who are struggling to pro-
mote the interests of one of the great industries of the State.
There was no excuse for such an action and those responsible fcr
it deserve general condemnation as a lot of unpatriotic snobs.
BUSINESS SUCCESS.
If you bave a line of goods, or a specialty, possessing quality and merit
IT PAYS TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW IT.
Every business man wbo consults bis healtli and success in business mue^t eat
and not only eat regularly, but must eat sucb food as will be readily digested, witb
sucli surroundings as will malie bis meal not only
A BUSINESS MATTER OF NECESSITY
but a pleasurable digression from business care.
Wben gueli a meal can be obtained at a tritling expense, and be productive of
bappiness and renewed, if not increased energy, a business man is foolish indeed to
not embrace the prospective opportunity.
Such a meal can be obtained, and tlie above described results attained by tailing
a lunch with us, between the hours of 11 A. M. and 2:30 P. M. We serve a six course
lunoli for 50 cents.
In the evening we serve, from 4:30 to 8:30 P. M., an eight-course dinner for
75 cents
Besides our service a la carte receives prompt attention, and our restaurant! >
most elegantly furnished.
ifeferring to our experience, botli in the Old and New World, as restauranteurs
with tlie fact that the cuisine and dining room is under our direct and coutiuua
supervision, we guarantee the best satisfaction.
Being confident that we can please you in the smallest particulars, we resiiect-
fuUy solicit your patronage.

The latest and most jierfect Automatic 0«» Maolilne now in use is the one being
manufactured at 43-45 StevcuBon street by the Dykes' Improved Automatic Gas
Machine Company. It is |>arlicularly fur Illuminating; country residences. It is
es|>ecially adapted for Churches and Public Institutions, Hotels.Wineries and Cellars;
llif litihl if Itrinlit, Steady, Pleasant, Soft and remarkably soothin>r to the eyes, and
i; is only about half the exjx'nse of the consumption of city gas. No danger what-
ever need lie feared from e.X)>losiou wliich is so common in tlie use of coal oil lamps,
from which so many heart-rendini; accidents have been recorded in our daily news-
pa|iers. Tlie safety of these Oa» Machines is absolutely assured. In conclusion wc
would say that no modern built house or public institution should be witliout these
Gas Machines, a» the iittbl is so far sujK-rior to other methods. Send for Catalogue,

THE MA-RKET.
/©ALIFORNIA BRANDY— The taarket is in a healthy condi-
^^ tion and improving steadily. Young goods of fair quality
are in active demand at forty-seven and one-half to fifty cents for
half barrels and a proportionate increase for cooperage in larger
packages. Older ages than 1890 are not to be quoted, as they are
not in the market. There is every indication that the supply of
'91, will be far short of the demand. This is indicated not only
by the present situation, but by the further fact that a prominent
brokerage firm in this city has received an order for 100,000 gal-
lons of brandy, and other calls aggregating 60,000 gallons, and
that this quantity is not in the market, and the orders cannot 1x5
filled. Such facts ought to convince producers that there is a
field in the distillation of brandy which they are not properly oc-
cupying.
Exports by sea for the fortnight were 13 cases and 72,800
gallons, of which 53,096 gallons were to domestic points, and 19,-
704 to foreign ports.
^J^ENTUCKY WHISKIES— In sympathy with all other lines
^/ ^ of trade, the market is sluggish and will continue so until
the Spring trade opens. The out look for business during '91, is
excellent. Local trade is quiet. Imports during the fortnight have
been of usual volume.
*^^ YES — The market is in the same condition as that for bour-
^1^ bons, and there is no prospect for a change for the better,
until the Spring season opens.
/©ALIFORNIA WINES— The market for dry wines is flat
^^ and without feature, unless it is a decided inability of jobbers
and producers to come to an agreement upon the question of
price delivered at San Francisco. The margin of difierence is
very slight, and it would seem that there ought not to be such a
stagnation as prevails at present when all the conditions govern-
ing the market are considered. There is something radically
wrong in the situation which allows of such a wide divergence be-
tween the prices and demand for wines and brandies. While the
latter are in good demand at fair figures, the former are waiting
for buyers, and on this account, it would seem tliat the wine mak-
ers could not only protect their own interests, but greatly benefit
the industry by distilling a goodly portion of their ordinary stocks.
The market certainly needs some such relief, and the difierence
in the prices of wine and brandy, offers inducements to adopt this
course. The slack demand for dry wines, can be partially ac-
counted for by the fact that the Eastern and Western states are
experiencing a severe winter which is having a very quieting
effect on the market. With the opening of Spring, however, it is
probable that business will assume a more satisfactory status.
Well made sweet wines are in fair demand at prices rang-
ing irom thirty-five cents up. Exports by sea for the fort night
aggregated .599 cases and 3.50,171 gallons of which 26 cases and
336,825 gallons were domestic, and 573 cases and 13,346 gallons
were foreign.
OF l/STE-REST TO WI/NE BOT-
TLE-RS.
A London maker has succeeded in producing wine bottles
having an unpolished, or rather roughened interior surface. It is
anticipated that this property will favor the deposition of any
solid matter which may be held in suspension in wines and similar
liquids which may be put into bottles. The roughened surface is
produced, says a contemporary, after the bottle is made, by inject-
ing the sand blast. Not only will the formation of deposits be
accelerated by this surface, but the crust which is formed is so
adherent that bottles of port, etc., may be freely moved without
danger of injuring the contents.

appcArs that it is left to the diHcn-tiun of the I'nitwl Staten I)i»-
trict Attorney to make arruMtM upon the re|H)rt8 fiirniHlu'<l by the
revenue agents. Aj)j>arently there w a tendency to smooth over
the matter in a way entailing the leai<t publicity to the jKirsonH
threatened. The investigatiouH are Htill continuing.
The above was publiHliwl in the Chronicle of this city a few
days ago and i» nothing lotw than rank ii\juKtice to the wholenale
trade of San Francineo and the State, (hi the face of it the
article appears to be emanations from the brain of some space-
killing reporter, but at the same time there are sufficient figures
and aUi>gation» to indicate that some one connecte<l with the
Intenuil Revenue De|>artment in the First District is using i.
penny-a-line pencil-pusher to ca«t a reflection upon the entire
trade. We njBpectfully suggest to Collector Sears that this is a
matter which calls not only for personal investigiitiou, but for
the punishment of the guilty subordinate.
Considering the high standing of the wholei<ale liquor trade
of this city and their importance as contributors to the Govern-
ment's revenues, it is certainly a gratuitous insult to csist such a
cloud uiKm their integrity, and knowing Collector Sears, we are
confident that he will regard the matter in this light if it is
properly brought l>efore him.
We do not accvpt as facts, the foregoing allegiitions published
by the Chronide. but we must say tliat if the Revenue Department
has discovered any such irrt^ularities as are charged against some
of the dealers of this State, the CoUiKitor should not only punish
the oflienders, but make their identity known. It is a matter in
which the general public as well as the tnule is concerned, and
justice demands that such imposters, if they exist anywhere ssive
in the brain of an imaginative reporter, should be |>ointed out in
order that they may be avoided by buyers who want what they
{>ay for and nothing more or less.
We would further sjiy to Collector Sears that the large Ixxly
of the wliok^sale liquor tnwle of San Francisco fivl sorely hurt by
these charges which apparently origiimtwl in his oflice and they
fed justified in demanding that the names of tlies*' allege<l im-
ptMrtemand infractors of the revenue lawslx* miwle known, to the
end that innocent parties may not b«« implicate<l in an oflfense of
which they art' not guilty.
The matter is a grave one and calls for the Collator's prompt
ctmHideration an<l iwtion. We await his n-ply and w ill readily
give his explanation publicity in the columns of this journal.

AGAIM AGO/Ng IM OAKLA/ND
O.iklaiid is agjiin in the throes of female politics and her
la1)ors j.roniis.- to result as usiuil in defeating the rational majority
and eliH-tinj; I lie minority on a falw platfoi-m.
For H >ni.-liine past the "Athens of the Pacific" has been un-
•pieslionably entithnl to the reputati<m of i)OS8e88ing the most com-
plete aggregation of female cranks west of Missouri
For s»'v«'ral we«'ks iwst tlu-st^ Oakland liwlies have been putting
the tliuml>-screw xiyHm the hel|)less biisinesH men of their city and
threatening them with Ijoycott and ruin unless they attache*! their
signature to petitions to the city council demanding a provision
by which hn-jil opticm can be iufiicte<l upon the community. That
tlie.s<' jM'titions are In'ing signe<l and that they are the subject of
dire anathemas, it is hardly necessjiry to say. Unusually high
licenw and restricticms on the trade do not satisfy these refonners.
They have their war-paint on and are out for Proliibition with
a capital "P". They ignore the experience of their female
compatriots in some of the leading cities of Southern California,
where local option was given years of trial only to find that it
made sneaks, liars and law-breakers of former respectable citizens
and was a prolific promoter of inebriety. These cities have l)een
forced to return to a reasonable license regulation and the change
is acceptable to all parties. In the face of these facts the ladies of
Oakland are exerting themselves to bring alx)ut local option and
the establishment of "Speak-Easys" and all the accompanying
evils. They know they are in the wrong but like a tailless kite
they are irresponsible for their erratic conduct.
It is to l)e regretted that the men of Oakland are not possessed
of sufficient vertebrae to enable them to effectually sit down on
these meddlesome masculine women. They have the power but
do not know how to use it.
OWR F-RIE/MB THE E/NEMg.
The ProhibitioniM has evidently Ixsen having a rough tinio
lately in the financial way. It has adopted plate matter for its
columns and the funniest part of it is that one of its articles in
the issue of January 29th was in regard to the imports of foreign
liquors into America, well written, and in realty booming tlie
trade.
AVe liave a suggestion to "our friend the enemy." It is a
long time between drinks and between elections at the office of
the I^ohlbitionlst. Why not go to our friend Dr. R. H. McDonald
who made his fortune out of "Vinegar Bitters" (stated to be
"non-alcoholic"), and have him supply the sinews of war for a
really first chws paper. We think that the liquor trade here
would have no objections, for when the IVohibitionist publications
go on the rampage they are as great a detriment to the cause
they champion as are the political "saloon" papers to the liquor
interest.
WHg MOT BE FAI-R.
The interest taken by the Vitieultural Commission in wani--
ing fruit growei-s against an over protluction of raisins, is as
strange; as their z»'al in encouraging the planting of more w ine
graiK's is natural. If the warning came from a more di.-^intereste*!
source, it woidd Ih' more worthy of attention. — J'rohibitioiiUt.
BiawHl as usual. The Vitieultural Commissioners do not
recommend the immediate planting of wine grapes. The i)n>-
duction of wine in California is at present large encmgh to nuvt
the consumption. When the smash in raisins comes there will
Ik* fewer Prohibitionists in Fresno, and limny of their vines will
Ik> graft*-*! to w ine varieties. Brother Slu-ahan is invited to rea<!
tlu' reiK)rt of Mr. West carefully. Mr. West is one of tli«-
prin*>i]>al *!istillers of the state and yet he says. "I can. however,
sei' nothing to en*'ourage *)r stimulat*- the planting of wine vin*--

HON. JOHN W. MASO/N.
Views of The Internal Revenue Commissioner on the Sweet
Wine Eonjplication.
In reply to our open letter published in the last issue of the
Review, Hon. John W. Mason, the Commissioner oj Internal
Revenue, has sent us the following statement of his position :
R. M. Wood & Co., Publishers of " The Pacific Wine and Spirit
Review" San Francisco, Cal.
Sirs : — I am in receipt of your letter of the 5th instant, en-
closing a copy of a letter, together with an editorial, which have
baon or will be published in your paper.
I do not desire to exercise any censorship over your paper.
You publish what you deem to be of interest to your people, mak-
ing such comment as seems to you proper. I would suggest, how-
ever, that as the law to which you refer is a now one, this Office
would be benefited by a statement of facts rather than by an arti-
cle indulging almost purely in criticism.
There can, of course, be no question as to my duty under the
law. The Act of Congress clearly authorizes a certain kind of
wine to be fortified to a certain extent by the introduction of a
certain kind of spirits. It is wholly immaterial whether this Of-
fice is friendly or unfriendly to the Act.
My duty would still be a very plain one ; for it must always
be borne in mind, that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, is a
mere executive officer charged with the duty of executing such
laws as the Congress of the United States may see fit to require of
him. As a matter of fact, however, I have no feeling on the sub-
ject. The people of my State have no interest directly or indi-
rectly in the fortification of sweet wine. Among the other dis-
advantages under which I labor, is that of never having had any
experience iii the wine business. It may, however, be assumed
that I can construe with reasonable accuracy, an ordinary act of
Congress. It is very clear that under the statute, the producers
of pure sweet wine, made from fermented grape juice only, and
which contains no other substances of any kind whatever, may
be permitted to use, free of tax, in the fortification of that wine,
80 much wine spirits as may be necessary to fortify the wine for
the preservation of the saccharine matter contained therein, pro-
vided that the alcohol strength thus introduced, shall not exceed
14 per cent, of the volume of the wine after use, and provided
further that the wine after fortification shall not contain more
than 24 per cent, of alcohol, and provided further that the wine
after fermentation shall contain not less than 4 per cent, of sac-
charine matter. This is the kind of wine to be fortified, and the
character of the product after fortification.
It will also be observed that the process must be begun and
completed at the vineyard of the grape grower, whore the grapes
are crushed and the grape juice is expressed and fermented. The
statute also requires a certain kind of spirits to be used in fortifi-
cation which is the product resulting from the distillation of fer-
mented grape juice, or what is commonly known as grape brandy,
so that the product, when completed, will contain nothing ex-
cept what has been extracted from the grape. 14 per cent, of the
volume may have been extracted by distillation ; the residue is
the pure fermented juice of the grape. Now it would seem that
there should be no difficulty, or if any, but little, in introducing
the kind and quantity of spirits specifically named in the statute
into this pure fermented grape juice for the purposes aforesaid.
You have been pleased to call my attention to the diSerence
of opinion as to the saccharine matter contained in California
grapes. In reply, I would say that this is a question of fact to
be ascertained as in other cases of the kind. This Office has never
pretended to assert that wine containing any greater or less
quantity of sugar was not entitled to be fortified under this law,
provided that after the fermentation is complete, it still con-
tained 4 per cent, of saccharine matter. The trouble in, this re-
lation, has arisen from a misapprehension of the facts. The pub-
lished statistics upon this subject, show that the grapes of Cali-
fornia do not contain much, if any, over twenty-six and one-half
per cent, of sugar, and relying upon this as being true, or practi-
cally so, when wine has been presented, which, by reason of the
amount of saccharine matter still remaining, together with the
alcohol found, would appear to have contained more than twen-
ty-six and one-half per cent, of sugar before fermentation, we
have simply regarded this as grounds for investigation. Where
the wine after fermentation contains a large amount of sugar and
alcohol, it creates at least a suspicion that either one or the'other
has been added, and if either has boon added, Of course the wine
cannot, under the statute, be fortified. If, however, upon inves-
tigation, it is found that the wine contained a greater amount of
saccharine matter than was expected, thb suspicion would be re-
moved.
In other words, this Office recognizes fully that the right to
fortify the wine does not depend upon the per centtim of saccha-
rine matter contained in the grapes, provided only that the juice
after some fermentation contains 4 per cent, when presented for
fortification.
It should be borne in mind that this act became a law on the
first day of October, 1890, which was in the midst of your vintage
season. There was then no time to consider regulations or pre-
scribe rules. It is sincerely hoped that after a little more experi-
ence on the part of the officei-s of the Bureau, and with the hearty
co-operation of the wine makers, there will be no trouble jDj exe-
cuting the law. Very truly yours,
John W. M^vson, Commissioner.
Responding to the above communication from Commissione''
Mason, we have sent the subjoined letter:
San Francisco, Feb. 25, 1891.
Hon. John W. Mmon, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Wash^
ington; D. G.
Dear Sir: — ^We are in receipt of your letter of the 20th inst.
in regard to the difficulties now surrounding the sweet wine mak-
ers.
There is little to add to the letter already sent to you by I. De
Tiurk, President of the Viticultural Commission enclosing a letter by
Mr. Charles A.Wetmore, concerning the saccharine degree of must,
except by reference to the reports of the College of Agriculture of
the University of California of 1888, in which you will find many
analyses of must running over twenty-six and one-half degrees of
sugar. We might say in addition, that while-the musts for dry
wine making in this state, are generally kept at or below twenty-
six and one-half per cent, of sugar, there is practically no limit to
the degree of sugar that can be obtained. Years of experience
in the vineyard, and the teachings inculcated by the State Viti-
cultural Commission and the College of Agriculture of the Uni-
versity of California, have taught the wine makers not to attempt
to get high degrees of sugar in musts when they are making dry
wines. If you or some one connected with your office, will go
over the published reports of analyes, you will find that the grapes
mentioned, are those used for making dry wine, and it is a fact
that cannot be disputed that the efforts of the Commission and
University have been almost entirely divided toward assisting the
wine makers to produce dry wines, these representing the highest
types of the wine makers art.
We are glad that you have determined to investigate the whole
subject as fully as possible. It is for this reason that we extended
you a very cordial invitation on behalf of the wine men, either to
visit the coast personally, or to send an unprejudiced agent, not
connected with the business either in the East or California, in or-
der that you might deal understandingly with this question. We
do not see that there is any question whatever, as to the right to
fortify, and no wine maker in this State, asks for the riglit to forti-
fy anything but grape juice; nor do they ask that the wine after for-
tification may contain more than twenty-four percent, of alcohol,
and four per cent of sugar. What they do ask, and what they

We agnM' with you that the diffcrenceB of opinion as to Bac-
charine matter contained in California grapes w a question of
forts to be ascertained as in other awes of the kind. If you do
not accept the statements of the StaU> .Vnalyst (Proft>88or Rising)
Mr. Chaa. A. Wetmore and others, whose word is al>ove doubt,
we suggest that the Department, instea<l of assessing, as noW
proposed, aeiie some of the suspected wine, carry the case into
court and have the qu«>stion whether or not gn>pe musts can run
over twenty-six and one-half per cent. »ettle<l finally. This is
the only course that can be fair and satisfactory to both parties,
while to assess the wines, is a virtual avoidance of the issue for
six months, and places the producer at the mercy of men who do
not understand the businees.
We can assure you that you will get the cordial and
hearty co-operation of the wine makers in executing the law.
They are all interested in having grape juice only, fortifie<l. They
ask that the regulations be formulated so as to permit them to
partially desiccate their grapes either before or after picking, in
order to obtain rich musts, and at the same time not to exceed
the Btatutorj- alcoholic limit of twenty-four per ctnit and four per
cent of sugar. Musts running over twenty-six and one-half per
cent of sugar can easily be obtainetl without desiccation, but it is
only right that the Department should recognize Jis legitimate,
prooenee which are as old as the sweet wine producing industry
of Europe.
In conclusion, on behalf of the wine producers of this State,
we thank you for the fair and friendly sentiments which you have
expressed towards them in your letter to us, and assure you that
in all your efforts to construe the law fairly to both parties you
will have tlieir and our hearty co-operation.

t)ost manner known to the restauranteiir's art.
Mi-ssrs. Franckx and Ruhlemann are capable and competent
men and their place will no doubt prove a surprise and a pleasure
to the lovers of good living in the Windy CMty. Certain it is
that they will make "Kinsley's" and the "Richelieu" and places

This, it will be noticed, includes the most prominent men in
nearly every section except Fresno and the south. The dry
wines from these sections do not command the attention that
those from the north do, the two districts being particularly
adapted for sweet wines. The Napa, Sonoma and Livermore
valleys are particularly well represented.
Mr. Franckx goes East in the course of a few weeks and he
has already had his attention directed to several first class loca-

deciding on any particular place and expects to have everything
in readiness for a grand opening on the 15th of May.

Colonel Malcolm Crichtou of Baltimore, distiller of "Monti-
cello" rye whisky, died at his honwe on January 27th. He was
widely known to the trade of the country and enjoyed the reputa-
tion of being one of the most hospitable and companionable
gentlemen in the monumental city. His demise will be regretted
by a host of friends. A widow, two daughters and four sous
survive him.
The big importing house of H. Brunhild & Co New York has
established a branch in this city under the management of Mr. S.
Glaser, a gentleman who is well known to the trade of this coast.
Tlie establishment of a branch in San Francisco is for the purpose
of more thoroughly handling their trade in this territory. Messrs
Brunhild & Co. make a specialty of selling goods in bond and
filling orders for direct shipment.
Gustav Cless the head of the Vienna Company manufactur-
ing Reihlen Champagne was in the city during the past fortnight
and gave the works on Folsom street a thorough inspection.
He came to America to represent the foreign stockholders in the
American Champagne Company and before leaving San Francisco
stated that he was immensely pleased with what was being done
here and the quality of the wine produced. Mr. Cless left for
New York in time to attend the meeting of the company on
February 23d.
L. P. Drexler, of the Fresno Vinyard Company, which is
represented in San Francisco by the California Wine Growers-
Union, has succeeded in purchasing a selected lot of the new
wines of the Cresta Blanca Vineyard of Charles A. Wetmore.
The wines secured are all of 1890 and are considered by Mr.
Wetmore to be the finest for their age that he has ever produced.
The Wine Growers' Union and its active head Capt. J. Chamon
de St. Hubert are to be congratulated on having secured such a
stock as this to handle.
Thomas Taylor & Co. are having a good demand for the
pure article of cherry brandy which they get from a well-known
St. Helena distiller. We should like to see more of the distillers
of this state experiment with fruits other than grapes. There is
no question whatever but that California can excel the country
in all fruit brandies if only proper attention is given and proper
experiments made. We have the finest fruits going and why
not produce the finest peach, cherry and pear, to say nothing of
prune and other brandies that might be distilled.
H. T. Dewey & Co., have issued their regular annual
pamphlet in the interest of pure American wine. It consists of
thirty pages with a handsome cover and contains a great deal of
instructive and entertaining reading matter, including a his-
tory of their well known house, observations on the uses and
virtues of good wines, when and how to drink them, and descrip-
tions of Eastern and California wines. Messrs. Dewey & Co.,
are doing a good work in teaching Americans to drink American
wines and we wish there were more houses like their big popular
New York institution.
C. Holtum &Co., met with an accident the other day which
resulted in the destruction of about 3000 bottles of their choicest
old wines, while Mr. Holtum and foreman Lindeck had a narrow
escape from serious personal injury. In fitting up their new
branch at First and Mission streets, a large case was built against
the wall for displaying bottled goods. This gave way under the
great weight and went to the floor with a crash that could be
heard for blocks. The wine was all lost by breakage and the
damage amounted to several hundred dollars.
Paul Wack, the wine grower and merchant of Los Angeles,
has issued a circulai" to the trade from which we extract the
following:
" California wines and brandy are becoming with every year
more popular in our Eastern markets, as well as foreign countries.
Evidence is fast accumulating to show that they are rapidly gain-
ing in favor by the consumer and connoisseur, and are already
cx)nspicuously taking the place of the costly imported article. This
being mainly due to the fact that the wine industry of California
has grown out of its infancy, its great imiiortance l>eing recognized
as the richest resource of the countrj% and taken hold of by
experienced and educated winemen from abrog^l, and as a result
a much better class of goods has been produced in the last decade
than of yore."
W. Culman, Manager of the Napa Valley Wine Co.'s branch
house at St. Louis, is in the city on business in connection with
the rapidly growing interests of this company. Mr. Culman is
one of the young men in the wine trade, but liis fine success in
St. Louis has prove<l that old heads sometimes grow on young
shoulders. The gentleman informs us that the outlook for Cali-
fornia wines in the metropolis of Missouri is highly encouraging.
The present demand for the Napa Valley Company's goods is
excellent. Thej' ai'e steadily extending their market and at the
same time securing the very best class of trade. ''So far as the
future of California wines in the St. Louis market is concerned"
said Mr. Culman, "I am satisfied that it is all right, and that
the market will continue to grow for many years to come. My
opinion is based on the success we have had in introducing the
wines of our company." Mr. Culman will remain in San Fran-
cisco about two weeks.
Articles of incorporations of the South San Francisco Land
and Improvement Company have been filed at San Mateo.
This is the company with which Peter E. Her; the Omaha
distiller and stockyard man, is connected, and which has acquired
about 4000 acres of land around Baden, in San Mateo county,
where it is intended to establish stockyards and abattoirs, to
errect livery and sale stales for the sale of horses, arid to build a
hotel for the accomodation of stockmen and other.-? who may go
to Baden on business or pleasure. All of its arrangements have
now been completed, and with the filing of the articles of incor-
poration begins the work of detail which will result in the practical
working of the company. The purposs of the corporation as set
forth in its articles are to purchase, acquire and deal in lands
and all kinds of dwelling houses, stores, hotels and other buildings;
to construct canals, ships and docks for the proper carrying on of
its manufacturing interests; to carry on a general storehouse and
merchandise business; to deal in corporation stocks and other
evidence of indebtness; to loan money; to supply fresh water to
people for various purposes; to deal in canals, aqueducts and other
waterways and other water rights, and to carry on a lighting busi-
ness. The principal place of business is to be at Baden, San Mateo
county. The capital stock is $2,000,000, divided into 20,000
shares. The amount of stock subscribed is 16,995 shares or 81 ,69 5,
000. P, E. Her took 4000 shares; Nelson Morris, 4000 shares;
Edward Morris, 2000 shares; G. F. Swift 1000 shares, and Armour
& Co., 950 shares. Among other shareholders are J. B. Greenhut,
president of the spirit trust, Henry J- Crocker, Miller & Lux,
Livingston & Co., A. Bocqueraz, E. R. Lilienthal, A. H. Veeder,
H. S. Crocker and William L. Merry. The trustees for the first
year are Gustavus F. Swift, Nelson Morris and Edward J. Martyn
of Chicago, Peter E. Her of Baden and Henry Miller, E. R. Lilien-
thal and Charles W. Smith of San Francisco. The gentlemen who
will be at the head of affairs are nearly all of them to the fore in
the liquor trade not only is Mr Her at the helm but their is also
President Greenhut, Livingston & Co., Antoine Bocqueraz of
Shea Bocqueraz & Co., Y,. R. Lilienthal of Lilienthal & Co. and
others. The Review wishes all a full measure of success.
W. H. Shields the well-known whisky broker of Cincinnati,
and agent for the Review, has an unique device for keeping his
business before the trade of the country. It consists of a hand-
some and useful memorandum book containing a price-list of
whiskies, whihc, by a patent arrangement, can Ijc substituted by
other lists, the oc ver. which is of morocco, being presei-ved. There
are also blank spaces for remarks, and the whole affair is so gotten
up as to be useful and convenient.

Inclosed please find Postal Note for subscription for the
year 1891.
The January niunber of the Review was very interesting to
us. If your hiding wine makers would contribute a letter for
every number it would add greatly to j'our circulation.
We feel that we get full value for our money from the
Review, as frwjuently we get a suggestion that is worth many
times its cost. Very truly yours,
H. T. Dewey & Sons.

If the price was $10, instead of seventy-five cents per gallon,
we could not produce a su|K?rior article. Every package guaran-

19 HudsonStrMt, IN«w York
Some one who has the interests of the Sweet Wine men
heart should take Professor Hilgard in hand and chain him don
Without the slightest cause, and without the slightest judgmc
that jiieddlesome individual has succeeded in embroiling hir
in a controversy with the Internal Revenue Department,
course during the past fortnight in attacking the Department 1
been to say the least of it, idiotic and suicidal.
Professor Hilgard at the Ixiginiiiiig of the present troubU
with the Department acted with mmleration and starto<l on tlM
right course to convince the Commissioner of Internal Revenii
of the justice and fairness of the claims set forth by the swe<
wine men. All of a sudden some one side-tracked him and le
him into a bitter controversy with Dr. C. A. Crampton in whio
Commissioner Mason naturally took a hand in the defense of hit
sulwrdinate. The question seems to have degenerated from oiU
of iinportiince to the people at large to a nasty little dispati
batween Hilgard and Crampton, in which the rights of our wiw
makers may be swamped.
We do not know anything about Dr. Crampton's ability
a lighter, but we can cheerfully accredit Hilgard with a bem
to unnecessarily meddle in matters not of great importance to any
question and smash the whole in consequence. He may Ik? a
great scientist and all that, but he is about as poor a specimen
man to impress the Department of the justice of what the swtri
wine men want, as could well be imagined. Some one should
apply the gag law instanter. All that is needed of Hilgard
his chemical analyses of musts, the correctness of whioli a
unquestioned.
Another thing which has arisen in the course of this sweet
wine controversy and which re<iuires attention is a statement
made by Commissioner Mason that the Department is not legi>
lative and is purely executive. If this is so how does the Com-
missioner come by that law that no grape must can legitimately
run over twenty-six and one half per cent of sugur. We fail t"
see any thing of the sort in the Sweet Wine Bill. Are we to
have to add water to our musts for sweet wine milking because
some one under Mr. Mason, presumably Mr. Crampton, thinks
he knows it all about sweet wine making when in fact he knows
nothing?

eOL. L EOS EH ON THE T-RADE.
Colonel Leoser of BonforVi Cireular in a fatherly letter to the
iitor of the Louisville Bulletin makes the following sage observa-
ons on the wine and spirit trade:
It is certainly the most manly, and probably the most hon-
it, mercantile pursuit in which a man can be engaged. I would
ither buy and sell wines and spirits than anything else. The
msumption is mainly among men, and so the spirit of the trade
masculine. Wines and spirits have brought more happiness
ito the world than any other one of the instrumentalities with
liich the good God has blessed us. Let us remember that we
% in a certain way (I mean the wine and spirit trade) the mill-
's of tliis good gift to men, and try so to manage our business
(to make it productive of all the good of which it is capable.
PLASTE-REB WI/NES.
It is now an ascertained fact in the Gironde that lime in the
vintage counteracts the fermentation and discolors the wine.
The vat-full at the outset works with more impetuousity than the
ordinary, but this admirable readiness is of short duration, and
aft«r 48 to 72 hours it slackens all of a sudden, and ceases complete-
ly before the normal period.
This is sometimes nothing but a false start, for the first
racking is not finished before the secondary fermentations enter
into activity, and although the wine be well fined, racked, and
so on, this must be done over and over again, and yet you do not
attain and maintain that clearness which is especially sought after.
The color follows an identical course to that of the fer-
mentation—clear and brilliant during the two or three months
immediately following the vintage, it gradually weakens up to the
point of withdrawing from the wine another of its qualities. The
action of the wine resembles that of wines made by the mixture
of our wines with the bouschet hybrids.
But while in the case of the wines in our Bordeaux climate,
the color is in suspension, and not in solution in the liquid,
it deposits itself in time; in the "plastered" or limed wines it is
destroyed in the course of time, without doubt, by special oxyda-
tion of the coloring matter; different phenomena cause the same
result, which is worth no more in one case than in another. 1
have heard it said that in vatting the bo%isehet separately, and
mixing their wines with that of our vines, the loss of color of
which I have just spoken was avoided. It is very possible, it
would require several conclusive experiments to have it put beyond
doubt. — La Petite Gironde, August 12, 1890.
EVOLUTIO/N m SA/STA CRCJZ.
In a letter supplemental to his interesting article whicli
appears in the current issue of the Review, Dr. John A. Stewart,
of Santa Cruz, has the following to say regarding the changes in
viticulture that are taking place in his county:
" The more recent coming to the front of the champagne and
white Burgundy producing vines is patent, and whether they
won't eventually turn aside the Eieslings and Cabernets, and win
the day over them against the Missions, and all that poor lot, is
quite on the boards.
I may add that where 100 gallons of Cabernet were madd
last year, 5000 must be made this, and where 200 gallons
Sauvignon-Semillon were made last year, 6000 must be made this;
and that three years hence these quantities wUl be respectively
quadrupled, if not sextupled.
Three years hence the quantities of fine Pinots for champagne
and Montraehet will be distinctive items by all present appear-
ances, and should the adaptation of Santa Cruz county for Pinots
be fully verified, I would not dare say to what they might amount
as there are inquiries now from London into the matter.
I have begun to think we of California have gone too far in
our fashion for Eieslings, Cabernets and Sauvignons, We went
away too quickly from the Pinots, having plante<l them in our
fat valleys and converted them into red wines. We will turn
back, in my opinion, and the now neglected Pinots, especially the
PLnot Gris which is a fair bearer with me, will advance to the
front. Whj% the soil of California is, as a rule, suited to the
Pinot family, and not to the Riesling, Cabernet or Sauvig*
non. Out of all Santa Cruz county we have only 100 ^cres, a« I
say in my paper, of pure Medoc soil, and a like proportion will
hold I believe, for all California. Mumm said we had no cham-
pagne soil; we have little else.

JULIAS BIX)CK &HOX8 finn was first established by Mr. Elias
Q^ IU<K-k in the year 1846. It grew and multipli(>d until the
year 1870. when the pn*ent (-ombination consisting of Elias
Block, Louis T. Bhx-k. Samuel lihx-k and f/lwunl J. Mack, was
fwMid, oouKtituting the firm of Elias Blo<-k & Co. Later Mr. J.
E. Block. Jr., was admitte<i into the ]>artnership. In 1880 they
purchased the ••OKI Darling" distillery, which was then run and
operated by the original owner of the bnind. Andrew W. Darling,
who eKtabliMlie<l the brand and distillery- in 18m). Elias Ijlock &
Bonn have ojK'rat<-<l this plant sine*' 18K0 as the "Old Darling"
difltiller}'. making the famous "Old Darling" whisky, which by
re—on of comtenative mantigement and excellenoe of quality,
a^nds to-day in the fr<mt ranks uf fine Kentucky wliiski«>s.
In 1883 thoy eslabli(«he<l the '• Merchant ile Club Rye." and
t"ie MUne oonacrvative c«iun<4- was ]>ursued r«>gHrding this brand,
■O that it now occupies a foremost |K>siti(m in the ranks of Ken-
todty rye*.
The branch of their businem devoted to the manufacture of
blended whlskiea, oordiala, fruit brandiiw, etc.. having been com-
menoed in 184H, they have atMiuiretl in that long |K-ri(Ml a degre4>
of perfection that has deaerveclly t-iinfemHl on thcni a natiimal
reputaticm. and the stamp of Elias Hhx-k & S«ms, identifying the
goods with tliat firm, is suflTicient to in»«un> at ontf the highest
atanding and recognition aa tlie l>e««t that can l»o pHKluci-d. In
addition to their owning the diMtilh'ries rcrirre<l to, they an*
among the largest contn.llen. of ih<- ImwI »iiin<lanl brands, and
this nn»k.^ their establishment so thoroughly con>p ete that .t
eiv.-s th.n. unrival.sl facilities for supplying the wholesale trade
with .very arti.U- r.-«iuired in the liquor line. Their production
has always IKHU niarkwl by fortnight and conservatism, which
thcv hnv.- n-solvc.! to continue in the best interests of those
handling their brands. The large trade establishetl in the past
fortv-four vears, and their well-n"<-ogiiize<l ample capital and the
steadily growing demand would justify in producing a larger crop
for th.' current season than in the past, yet in the interest of the
entire trade they have concluded to curtail tlieir '91 crop very
niateriallv. .
Messrs. Elias Block & Sons, in expressing their views upon
the prm-nt status of the market, state: ^'We believe the current
cn)p of whiskies to b<> made in Kentucky will be greatly d«5cr.Mised
bv reiison of the high price of grains, the stringency in the money
niarket and the large pro<luction of '90s", This view may serAC
as a key-note to the trade, and could emanate from no more
authoritative source than Elias Block & Sons,
*QHEINSTR0M BROS, with pride can point to the fact that
/\^ they are the pioneers in their line viz: the manufacture of fruit
brandies, and fine liiiuors of every description. They also do a
verv- extensive trade in dry and sweet Ohio wines, from the Erie
Islands direct, having a cotatrolliug interest in one of the lar-.
wine estJiblishinents at Sandusky, O. They are manufactu. -
also of champagne in the American and French stj-les.
When the extent of the business is considered it may be a
surprise to learrt that the firm started but fifteen years ago,
during which time all this businose has been accomplished. It
nHjuires a combination of two men, both perfect in their sphere,
one for the office and the other for the manufacturing department,
and in truth Abe, the elder brother, has never had a superior as
an office manager, and of Ike the same may be said as a manu-
facturer. They both grew np and attained the highest proficiency
in their lines with one of the leading firms of the countrj-. The
work devolving upon these gentlemen became so onerous and ex-
tensive that they subsequently admitted their third brother
Sigmuud, to the firm, to iaid them in the discharge of theii
arduous duties.
Soon after they had started they at once signally asserted
themselves and have ever since maintained a commanding posi-
tion. Their growth was so steady that at the end of their firel
year in business they louud it necessary to look for largerfluarters,
and they have gone on successively increasing their accomnuKla-
tions until we find them now in their present extensive quiutcit
at 54-56 East Third street.
In order to bring the distillation of fine liquors and fruil
brandies to the highest point of purity, and to be the equal of the
imported article, the firm has made the new departure of dis"
tilling directly from the raw material and pure fruit as is done bj
representative houses in France. The method which they h«v«
ever pursued is well explained in their recent holiday circular,
from which we extract the following:
" The line of jwlicy marked out at the very beginning of oui
business career and rigidly adhere<l to since, has been to furnisli
our patrons with what they want and in the most attractive and
desirable shajH'.
Our cardinal principle is "dispatch and ffeir dealing" witl
all.
And it is with a feeling of pride we say the public has fulij
and geiiennisly resiH)iuUKl to such business methods. Ourpiesinl
success has been (juite commensurate with our most sanguine 'v
IKH-tatious."
/N the pioneer days of distilling in Kentucky the little
still houw in Daviess County, five miles west of Owensl"
was built in 1855, where to-day stands the splendidly w|uii
"Old W. S. Stone Distillery," now, as then, distilling Kentu( 1
famous old-fashioned band made sour mash ^vbisky.

fame unknown," became the proprietor of this distillery,, and
with the energy, capacity, skill and honesty inseparable from the
successful man of business, managed it so judiciously and admir-
ably that the "Old W. S. Stone" brand has found its place in the
front rank of the most popular of Kentucky whiskies, and is dis-
tributed by the leading and largest wholesale dealers to a trade
extending from ocean to ocean.
In the spring of 1881 the "Daviess Co. Club" Distillery was
built, one and one-half miles west of Owensboro, Ky., and is also
owned by Mr. Mattingly. It is a sour mash distillery, and its
product, differing in the water used and formula of grain from
the "Old W. S. Stone" brand, is recognized as a beverage of the
fiixest quality.
The career of Mr. Mattingly as a distillery proprietor is
marked by prudence and conservatism in the number of barrels
annually produced at the distilleries, and with the single excep-
tion of 1888, he has annually produced a crop to meet the wants
of the patrons of his brands in the United States, but never for
"export trade."
The trade in general and the patrons in particular are familiar
with the fact that quality and quantity of yield is the aim at
these distilleries, and each brand synonymous for fine storage,
cooperage, etc.
The rewards of commercial honesty and integrity when
united to produce skill and unselfish conservatism has been re-
ceived and are being enjoyed by "Miles" Mattingly in an ample
competency of means, the confidence of his trade and enviable
fame.
In the future, as in the past, the management of the distiller-
ies and brands will be on the lines which have proven so profitable
and satisfactory to patrons and proprietor.
^7"^HE J. B. Wathen & Bro.'s brand of whisky has been on the
^'^ market since 1875. From that year to 1880 it was made in
Lebanon, Ky., and since the latter year it has been made at the
present headquarters of the firm at Louisville. They first made
"Kentucky Criterion" in the fall of 1886, during which season
they made 6,500 barrels. In the season of spring '90 they made
6,300 barrels, and also 7,500 barrels "Wathen." The demand
for their "Wathen" and "Criterion" has increased so materially
during the last three years that it is safe to say they could easily
distribute each year some 7,500 barrels of each, but they intend
to persue the same conservative course in the future as in the
past, and will limit their output to 5,000 barrels "Wathen" and
4,500 barrels "Criterion." At no time in the future will they
make more whisky than they have a legitimate demand for.
No brands have had to undergo a more crucial test at the time of
the memorable depression of all whiskies than these, and none
have emerged from the conflict more victorious. This is due to
the close attention bestowed on their manufacture and to the in-
domitable energy of Mr. J. B. Wathen in personally creating
avenues of distribution among the leading merchants throughout
the country. We can not forbear also to give due credit to their
ofiice managment, which is marked by prompt attention to the
wants of their customers. Their warehouses are unexcelled in
the State, which is evidenced by iusurance being but eighty-five
cents on the $100. No distiller enjoys to a higher degree the
personal esteem of his customers and general popularity among
the trade in a higher degree than Mr. J. B. Wathen.

The Pacific Wine and Spirit Review of San Francisco is
unrivalled in its special field. It is a large and handsome semi-
monthly publication, of which the wine and liquor interest has
just cause to be prpud. It is much above the average of class
publications in editorial ability and is conducted in a dignified,
oaanner. The proprietors, R. M. Wood and Winfield Scott, are
Did" and experienced newspaper men, who merit the patronage
which has been so liberally bestowed on them. May their Review
soatinue to prosper and to enrich them. — Fremio Republican,
The French strangler Eyraud, who was recently guillotined
in Paris, will be long remembered by many of the wine men and
others in this State. He was not known as Eyraud here, but
he cut a wide swath as a prominent wine merchant and distiller
of Bordeaux. Although actually fleeing from justice, he prop ojed
to establish extensive distilleries in this State for the purpose of
making cognac, which ho declared could be produced as well in
California as in Cognac. Whether or not he really intended to r
go into business will never be known, but he went so far as to- j
negotiate for the purchase of a distillery site and ordered the con- .
struction of twelve stills at one of the copper works of this city/'
The material was procured by the coppersmith but the stills w^ere
not constructed. Eyraud also contrived to borrow considerable :
money from some of the French wine makers and it is hardly •
necessary to say that they still hold his notes for the same.
One thing is certain and that is that the strangler was au
expert in all things connected with the brandy business, and had
he carried out his plans he would undoubtedly have done much
to improve the reputation of California brandy.
Captain Niebaum of the Inglenook vineyard, who received a
visit from Eyraud, declares that he was the most remarkable
"brandy sharp" he ever met. The strangler was an accurate
judge of brandies, could immediately detect their good and bad
qualities and describe them, and taking a half dozen samples of
different ages and by the senses of taste and smell tell the age of
each one. Captain Niebaum properly regarded Eyraud as a
wonder in this respect and heartily regrets that the fellow was
destined for the guillotine instead of the management of the still
house at Inglenook.
On the other hand there are several victims here who bemoan
the fact that Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard did not meet their
final destiny before they reached California.
OBITUAHy.
On Wednesday January 28th, Joseph P. Schardin, of the
firm of J. P Schardin & Co., this city passed over to the silent
majority. Mr. Schardin, a pioneer of 1851, was born in tlie
northern part of Germany in 1835, and at the age of three years
came with his parents to this country and settled in the then
almost unknown wilderness of Missouri, in the embryo city of
St. Louis. He remained n that place, receiving such education
as could be there afibrded, until the news of the discovery of
gold in the new El Do-ado stimulated his young heart and he
determined to join his "ortunes with the large army of fortune
seekers who then thronged the plains and crowded the decks of
steamers and sailing ves els to the golden shores of California.
Instead, however, of crossing the plains he decided to go by sea,
and in the early part of 1851 arrived in this city. Mr. Schardin
immediately started for the mines, selecting Nevada county as
his base of operations. After a more or less successful career in
the mines he engaged in the teaming business between Sacra-
mento and points in the interior, finally settling in North San ,
Juan, where he went into the wholesale and retail butcher busi-
ness. Here he was successful in accumulating a large fortune,,
which he invested in mining and water properties. By the de-
cision of Judge Sawyer in the debris cases these properties de-
teriorated in value, and hence Mr. Schardin determined to remove
to this city.
This he did, and associated himself with Frederick Loy in
the wholesale wine and liquor business, which he conducted up
to the time of his death. "Joe," as his friends loved to call him,
was one of the most lovable and truest of men. No one ever .
appealed to him in vain. He never lost a friend. He was the .
embodiment of all that was good and true in liie, and goes to his ;
long rest with the sincere respect of all who who ever knew him,, _

THE ASSOCIATION'S /NEGLECT.
The State Protective Association has let another session of
the Ijegislature go by without attempting to secure the adoption
of the much noe<led change in th? license laws.
For the past few months the belief that the Association would
do something to settle this vexed question, has l)een very general
among the wholesale tra<le the members of which l>ear the brunt
of the expense in supporting the oi-jjanization and who naturally
expect some return for tlijjjr money. It wsis a«serte<l at one tiiii-
that the Ass<K-iation had a measure drawn up and ready to intro-
duce, but those in charge of the inatt4-r have allowed things to
drift along until the si»ssion is uliout over and when a two-thirds
vote is necessary for the intrcKluction of any new bill.
We would respectfully inquire what the functions of the
Assm-iation are. if not to look after the interests of the tra<le?
The license question is l)eyon<l all others the most imiwrtant one
with which the California trade has to deal. Here is Oakland
with its high license, and its Prohibition element clamoring for
more, or preferably the closing of all drinking places; Riverside
with its 62,000 license and one saloon; and dozens of other places
with almost prohibitive licenses. Plainly the only relief was in
getting a State measure through, either for a gradwl or uniform
license as deemed best. But the Association allows the oppor-
tunity to slip by without so much as introducing a bill and
ascertaining the feeling on the subject. Two years must now go
by before there can be any change and by that time the situation
is certain to Ijc much more strained.
The only possible excuse for the present failure is that in
case the Association asked for any legislation some ambitious
legislator with a desire to attnw-t a sack to Ssieramento might
have brought in a fine cinch bill. We do not want to be to criti-
cal but we do not think that there is a single member in the
present Legislature who has enough brpins to get »ip a really
formidable bill which would attract a ssu-k of any dimensioiis
The lM)ys have failed to do it yet and they have triinl it on tli<'
gas c<»mpanies. the water companies, the street railroad an<l cal>l>'
companies, the proiM)se<l electric railway c-ompanies. the insuraiK i
coinimct and in a mild sort of a way against the Southern Pacific
n)ad in the shape of a Re-assessment bill. This would have IxM-n
the s«'ssion for work and success but the chance ha« been
neglwte<l.
We now ask the Association's leaders what they propo.se t..
do to get relief? Do they expect to fight every high licen
|>ro|M)Hition sprung on them in every city, town and county? II
they do they will Ih' kt-pt gloriously busy.

CABE-R/NET AS A BLE/St) WITH
ZI/NFA/NDEL.
It is eight years ago since I was first struck by the effect of
the Cabernet in blend with the Zinfandel. I had been searching
for some fine wine and liad met witli indifferent success, tlirough
my own fault I suppose, when I received a consignment of
Noireau, including one bottle marked "Zinfandel Blend," from
Mr. Gillet of Nevada City. I drank the Noireau, thinking
nothing of the Zinfandel blend, because I had become rather
dubious about Zinfandel owing to certain disappointments I had
had in connection witli that name. The Noirean was very good,
if not up to what I had been accustomed to in Europe though,
because it was but two years old and having no more of
it, and nothing better as I imagined, I essayed the blend. I was
hardl V ever in my life as astonished as I was then. The Zinfandel
blend was altogether another thiug from the Zinfandel I had been
accustomed to, and enthusiastically calling to me a friend, the
two of us tasted it, and sipped it, and sipped and tasted till
there was nothing left of it, and the virtue of it is on our palates
still. The blend was a ten per cent Cabernet Franc in a ninety
per cent Zinfandel.
When Mr. Gillet hit on the idea of blending his Zinfandel
with Cabernet he must have offered an extra propitiatory sacrifice
to the vine-crowned God of wine, and obtained in return one of
his precious secrets, for the action of Cabernet on Zinfandel is
like raising earth to the sky. The excessive if clean sharpness
of the Zinfandel, like ones mouth were touched with the bite of
bi-artrate of potash, retires from it, aiul softness with fullness
steals into it. That tendency which the Zinfandel lias to thinness
is toned up to towards fullness. The delicate lightness of the
Zinfandel — that is of mountain Zinfandel — is not impaired,
while its bouquet happily married to that of the Cabernet is
chastened.
There was a board of wine experts sitting in San Francisco
not much over a year ago, and the question was put by a member:
" What am I to do with Zinfandel; now you California
fellows tell me, for I am from New York, and I happen to have
a lot of Zinfandel and I don't like it."
"Do you mean the vine or the wine?" said a Napa man,
"If the former, root it up, and if the latter, throw it away."
I thought it was not worth the knowing what a Napa man
does not know. "But hold" I cried, "I have a tip worth two of
that, blend your Zinfandel with Cabernet, of course
provided your Zinfandel is Franc de Pied as a Frenchman
' might say, and a product of the hillside." I was laughed at,
when I asked in some astonishment "Has no one here tried
Cabernet upon Zinfandel, if any one has not, why let him try and
speak afterwards?" "I tell you," I added, "that the table wine
of California and the vin ordinaire, aye vin superieure of the
world is Zinfandel — mountain Zinfandel plus Caberuet." Who-
ever at the board was convinced I had overvaulted myself, I was
not, nor am I now, nor likely to be.
The ten per cent blend of Cabernet to ninety of Zinfandel is
naturally much behind that of twenty Cabernet to eighty Zinfandel,
but I don't know but it is the most useful blend since you convert
what is good into excellence by it at little cost, whereas if you
carry the good beyond excellent and into my denomination of the
fine by a twenty per cent Cabernet, look at the concomitant cost.
I should say that for a vin ordinaire, by which I mean a wine
unsurpassable for the strict daily use of mid-day and evening
meals, the ten per cent Cabernet should not be exceeded, while
for a vin superieure, by which I mean again a wine fit to be used
at dessert on all except high days, and holidays, and grand enter-
tainments, the twenty per cent Cabernet is hardly too nnich.
I can't see why one should go above a twenty per cent
Cabernet blend. Above that you begin to lose more than you
gain. There is a balance in all blends and I think the balauce is
lost at any figure above twenty. I may come to the twenty, but
when I would surpass it, I feel my Cabernet is too precious to me
and I stop.
The open arms so to speak that the Zinfandel has for the
Cabernet, and the perfect enthusiiism, if I may use the word,
with which it gives and accepts from the Cabeniet, accepting
even more than it gives, is a fretpient source of wonder to me.
I do not know a more unwilfish wine than the Zinfandel, yet
there are only two conditions in which I would put its nature on
trial. I would not subject it to the Cabernet except when in the
fermenting vat or within a month after the first racking from the
vat.
This is my manner of procedure: Five days before I vin-
tage my Zinfandels, I calculate how much of them I am likely to
have; proportionate to that, say in ten or twenty per cent pro-
portion, I pick my Cabernets and set them to ferment. The five
days over, my Zinfandels are in their vats, and the Cabernets
proportioned to them are in tumultuous fermentation; then I
pour the Cabernets in all their tumult into the Zinfandels, stir
the two well up and leave them together.
I see there are Gironde vignerons who now write to the
Feuille Vinieole that the addition of the Cabernet while in a state
of fermentation to the yet unfermenting Saint Macaire for instance,
or Gros Mancin, gives to these second class vines the qualities of
the first. Their theory is that every vine has its own particular
micoderm, and that it is this particular micoderm which deter-
mines the particular wine, and not the cepage, though the cepage
is of no account, but of course it is a help. Hence if you start
up the Cabernet micoderm in the Saint Macaire, or Gros Mancin,
mass, and give that the sway before a Saint Macaire or Gros
Mancin mic!)derm can get on its feet, the Cabernet intruder won't
allow a Saint Macaire or Gros Mancin native to as much as
move, and what ought to have been a Saiut Macaire or Gros
Mancin wine, will be a Cabernet or thereabout. At any rate,
not so prodigiously far from it.
Whether or not Girondists are wild in their theory I have
too high an opinion of their powers for self defence to attempt to
defend them, but this I do asseverate, that Cabernet grapes
mixed while fermenting with Zinfandel as I have told, does give
the resultant wine a Cabernet cast; and that beyond what could
be expected in my opinion from the proportion of Cabernet to
Zinfandel. I think it might be expected that the Zinfandel
would drown the Cabernet and not that the Cabernet would im-
press so much of its own character on the Zinfandel.
What affords me as good, if not even better success than
adding Cabernet in fermentation to Zinfandel freshly crushed
into the vat, is as follows: At my fii-st racking, which is in
November, or about a month after the withdrawal of the wine
from the vat, and just as soon as the Cabernet issues out of the
puncheon it begins to lose its clearness, I stop the racking, and
pour Zinfandel upon the residue. That is, I rack my Cabernet from
any given puncheon down to the initial appearance of the lees,
then I fill up the puncheon with clear Zinfandel, itself newly
racked, bung, and leave things to themselves for a month or six
weeks. By that time the Zinfandel has lost its objectionable
sharpness, and its rather unnecessary thinness; it has become
mellow or soft, taken on color and more body, and has begun to
afford promise to seve. Now I rack this Zinfandel from the
Cabernet lees, and after attending to it properly for a year or
two, it is as good a wine at any rate as the Bordeaux merchants
make out of good Roussillon and selections of Medoc, and which
the not over rich but ambitious Frenchman places before his
guests as "Chateau" this and "Chateau" the other. I have paid
fifteen dollars a dozen, free on board at Bordeaux, for such
"Chateau" and did not deem mj'self cheated.
The immediate pouring of a lower wine upon the lees of a
higher I have learned from French practice, and take no credit
for it.

•• Distinct jjrogreHS wax inmle by the wines of California laat
year. The j)roduccrs are evidently ao^iuiring greater skill in the
"preparation of the wine, and a larg.' proportion of the consign-
ntents to this market is now well suitinl to the English ta«te.
In nsl and white wines alike improvement is noticeable, and
ju<lging by some of the more favorable siimples we have tasted,
w.' slumUi sjiy the growers in California are fully justifitnl iu look-
ing for a considerable expansion of their trade with England. A
good deal of the wine made is sent to the distillery, and the
brandy produced from it has some of the highest qualities well
d'vebiped. At present the brandy industry is quite iu its infancy,
but we shall be surprised if it fails to exercise an appreciable
influence upon European markets."
IMP-ROVEME/NT I/N CALIFOR/NIA
WI/NES.
Within the the la«t eiglit or ten years there lias been a revo-
lution in the character of California wines. Any one familiar
with the output of (California vineyards of ten years ago would
not recognize the wine now put on the market. Instead of a
coarse, rough, fruity wine, we have now as smooth, pleasant a
iK'venige as one would wish to drink. Most people ascribe this
to the improvement that has fciken place in the character of the
grapes, but as a matter of fact this has very little to do with it.
The grapes of ten years ago were nearly as good as they are
now, but few people knew how to treat them. When wine mak-
ing first liecame an imiwrtant industry, the owners of vineyards
went to F^urope for experts to superintend the manufacture of
their wine. The result was disjistrous failure. Each manager tried
to treat wine as he had been accustomed to at home, to press it
in the same manner, and to keep it in tlie same kind of cellars,
without nuiking any allowance whatever for difference of climate
and difference of gra{>e. A crude, rough wine was the result.
The vineyar*! owners were greatly discouraged, and the super-
intendents went ba<'k to their native countrit» convince<l that there
was no future for California wine. A few remaincHl and under-
t<M)k to adapt their F]un)pean experience to changed conditions.
FAperimenls wen> made. Where one nuKle of treatment failed,
another was tried, and finally the secret of handling the differtMit
kinils of California wine was discoverwl. To-day, not only is the
home (Mmsumption largt\ but millions of giillous of claret are an-
nually sent to France to In- re.shipped from that country with a
French laln-l, and pronounced excellent. The grapes are about
the sanu' as tlu'y were ten years ago, but inij)roved methods of
of treating the Juice have revolutionized the California wiue in-
dustry.— Amrrioni A)i<ilij*t.
[The uImivc remarks re^irding the improvement in the
qimlity of California wines are correct, but the statement that
"millions of gallons of claret are annually shipped to France
to Im- reshippe<l from that country under a F'rench lal)el", is the
veriest rot. California wine dcM-s not need to go to I'>]ince to be
nmske<l under a French label. That can 1h' and is accomplished
in New York and Cliiiago mu<li to the detriment of the win«
industry of the tsUitc— l',n. Hi- vii:w].

and adulterated wine is made a misdemeanor, punishable
by a fine of ?200 to $1,000, or by imprisonment from six
months to a year, or both. The offender is also liable
to a penalty of one dollar, for each gallon manufactured,
sold or ofTerecl for sale, and the wine is dec-lared a
public nuisance and forfeit«Hl to the State. Any wine contjvining
iHJtween fifty and seventy-five per cent of pure grape or other

"half wine," and the words "half wine" mu8tl>e branded on every

as "ma<le wine" and so labeled. To sell any "half wine" or
"made wine" without the proj)er label or brand, is a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine of 8200 to 81,0(K), or imprisoiunent for three
months to a j'ear, or both. The law would be very benefical if
it were enforced. To enforce it is another matter.

SITUATIO/S.
ON THE
The wine merchants, or rather makers have during the past
year, done more to elevate the quality of wines prtMluced in Cali-
fornia than during any preceding period. A large part of the
low grade wines have been run into brandy, so that everything
offered of this year's product has boon first-class and sound. The
large increase in the consumption of wines has been something
phenomenal. In 1888, two years ago, New York reoeive<l 2.800 ,-
0<K) gallons, while this year the receipts at New York show
3,(M)<),000, an increase of almost 800,000 gallons. The increasetl
demand for California brandy in the Ka.st has also shown a very
large increase, In 1888 New Y'ork receivcHl 3;i,()00 gallons, while
in the year 1890 receipts wore 230,000, an increase of almost
2(K),000 gallons. If this increase, or anything api)roaching it. is
kept up for the next few years to come, the wine interest of Cal-
ifornia will lx> the largest sectional industry in the known world,

Qkica^o ^Q'partment,
Chicago, February 18, 1891.
A calm always follows activity in any line of trade or busi-
ness, and the wine and liquor interest is no exception to the rule.
During the holidays the trade was unusually active hero in
Chicago especially in tlie line of California wines. During the
run of the exposition last fall Mr. H. W. Crabb did a good lot of
very profitable advei-tisiug for his business by having a fountain
of pure wine playing in the sunlight and glinting 'neath the
shafts of the electric arcs.
But the clouds are lightening up a little of late, and the ten-
dency of tlie market is toward better feeling and more activity.
Restauranters and caterers are beginning to make active pro-
visions for the coming summer's trade, which gives promise of
being the best ever known in the city, owing to the fact that the
town is being filled full to the brim, and even to running over,
with strangere who have been attracted hither by scheme's con-
nected with the World's Fair. It is probable that within the
next two weeks most of tliat stock will be ordered, as the
spring now gives promise of being very forward, and they must
needs keep in advance.
The retail trade has been absolutely quiet, and will remain
so for the next two weeks, or, more likely, a month.
There is a growing disposition on the part of social clubs,
for, which, by the way, Chicago is quite noted, to use California
wines exclusively on their tables and sideboards. There are
many strong advocates of such a course among their membership.
This is simply the result of the fact that many of Chicago's club
men are wealthy, and use their money often for purposes of
traveling. In their journeyings they have not slighted the
wonderland by the sun-set sea, yclept California, and while there
tliey drank of the smiling juice of her purple vintage, and lost
their hearts to the blushing wine.
That any objection to California wine is more prejudice than
fact was amply demonstrated not long since in one of our leading
clubs. The caterer was fully satisfied that California wines were
the equal, if not superior, to anji;hing that was in the house in
the way of an imported article, but could not induce some of the
club members to yield the point to him. One day a party of
three of the strongest opponents to California wines chanced to
sit at the same table and the wiley caterer saw his opportunity.
The gentlemen ordered Pont e Canet, and the caterer ve^y
dextrously served them with some California Cabernet Sauvignon.
"When they had finished the wine they were asked how they
liked it, and replied that it was the best Ponte Canet they had
ever seen, going even so far as to assert tliat all others they had
drank must have been adulterated. When the caterer, midst an
outburst of merriment, told them what he had done, their as-
tonishment knew no bounds, and from that day on California
wines had a trio of very strong advocates upon all occasions.
One very undesirable feature of the California wine trade in
the city of Chicago, is the method pursued by some firms. They
announce to the world that they are the owners of certain vine-
yards in California, and that the stuff they have for sale is direct
fiom their own cellers. I have in mind a case that meets my
eye almost daily, of a firm advertising its wines as being from a
certain vineyard, when I happen to know that there is positively
no such vineyard in existence, and never was. If there had been
it would have been destroyed by the phylloxera years ago, as
were all the vines within miles of the place. No good wine ever
came from the sections of the State where it is claimed that
most of their cellars are located, and even those said to belong to
it in Napa county were seldom ever mentioned in my hearing
during a residence of many years in the county and almost con-
tinual association with wine men, L. L. Palmeu,
February 18, 1891.
U/NFAI-R e'RiTieis/v\.
In a recent number of Belford's Magazine, Cliampion Bissell
under the head of "The Truth About Wines" has considerable
to say regarding the products of the wines of California- While
some of his remarks about our wines are correct and interesting,
lie makes some statements regarding the qualities of our wines
that probably would not have been matle had Mr. Bissell been
better posted on the subject he treats. He passes by the merits
of our best wines with the offTiand remark thafsome day" "they
will be called for at high-class restaurants by connoisseurs and
will deserve to be". The gentleman is very kind in thus holding
out a little encouragement to California wine men by telling them
that their wine will be sold in first-class eating houses. It would
presumably hardly be proper for a connoisseur such as Mr. Biasell,
to acknowledge that our wines have these merits at the present
time and that they are justly entitled to admission in the best
restaurants, but that they are kept out by the silly prejudice of
fishy brained Americans who see no good in anything that does
not appear on its face to be foreign.
If we are to believe Mr. BisseU, we are not "in it" when it
comes to the question of champagne making. In fact he has not
one word of praise for the success that has been attained in this
branch of the industry. We venture to suggest that Mr. Bissell
is not and does not deserve to be aware of the fact that California
champagne, for which he has only a sneer has heretofore success-
fully masqueraded among connoisseurs, such as Mr. Bissell, in
the guise of the imported article, and at the same time received
unstinted praise for its excellence. At least these are facts which
the gentleman's position would not permit him to comment upon.
For our sweet wines Mr. Bissell has a kind word and he
really "does himself proud" when he refers to the brandies of this
State in the following language:
"Now comes California with a pure, sound brandy, made
from distilled wine and grape pomace, as it ought to be; and we
buy it at an average price by the barrel of two dollars a gallon;
so that the retailer can furnish it at a dollar a bottle, and can
afford to furnish it in purity. When the brandy has acquired
age, we can snap our finger at the Cognac district of France and
its fraudulent efforts to furnish to the world more brandy that
it can honestly come by."
Mr. Bissell, judging from his foregoing remarks, is better ac-
quainted with California brandies than with her wines. We
know and he ought to have known before he attempted to instruct
the public on the subject that in point of excellence the best wines
of California are equal to her best brandy, and that whatever
praise is due to one is also due to the other.
Taking all these facts into consideration Mr.Bissell's criticism
may fairly be regarded as having been written in an unfriendly
spirit.

A new work on distillation entitled "Die Cognac und Wein-

by A. Hartleben who has houses in Vienna, Pesth and Leipsic.
The work is one of 152 pages and is profusely illustrated with
thirty-seven cuts. While there is little that is new in the book it
tells very well what is known of distillation and distillery appar-
atus up to the present time, and all the processes are faithftilly
described. The book is one that should be read and possessed by
brandy distillers.

THE MA-RKET.
/©A LIFORNI A WINES- The market is exceedingly quiet, and
^ what trtiding is being done, is not at satisfactory figures.
The feature of the fortnight haa been the sale of about 400,000
gallons from tlie Bourn cellar at St. Helena, to a local house. Th«
demand for sweet wine.s, wliile paor, is batter than for dry wines.
p]xports by sea during the past fortnight aggregated 210 cases
and 69,(518 gallons, valued at $31,194. The rail shipments for
February will be found elsewhere.
/©ALIFORNIA BRANDIES— are strong and the demand
^^ good. The last of the '90 goods are fast passing out of first
hiinds, aud it will not be long before only a few scattered lots will
remain so. The denumd is reported as good. '90 are quotable at
forty-seven and a half and fifty cents, and '89 at fifty-five cents.
Exports by sea during the past fortnight to domestic ports,
were 1060 gallons valued at $1489 and to foreign ports 61 cases
and 11,710 gallons valued at $5158. The shipments overland by
rail will be found in the usual monthly table.
*1I>ENTUCKY WHISKIES— Handlers report the market as
^^ very good and with the promise of a fine year before the
itate, the trade is looking for correspondingly heavy orders.
Merchants are watching the Eastern situation very closely aiul
"Jie progress of the movement to limit production inaugurated by
he leading distillers, is being carefully noted.
T^YES — Are not as strong as two weeks ago. The market
J^ V never large, is well supplied with goods.
Exports of whisky by sea during the past fortnight were 31.3
cases and424 gallons, valued at $3,536. The receipts by rail and
sea will be found in the usual tables.
THE THCIST'S STATEMEMT.
The Distilling & Cattle Feeding Co., has furnished us the
following statement concerning the charges against Ex-Secretary
Gibson in relation to the Shufeldt Distillery:
We are holding our regular monthly meeting in Chicago
instead of Peoria, for the purpose of ascertaining, as far as possible,
the truth in respect to the charges against the Secretary of the
company.
Such widespread publicity has been given to these charges
and so many false rumors are being spread, through the press,
that we deem it our duty to make a brief statement.
Since our election, as directors, we have devoted our time
and best endeavors, by honorable methods, to the establishment
of the business of this company upon a paying basis.
We have made such progress, in this direction, that for many
months the company has been earning and paying monthly
dividends of a half of one per cent. , equal to six per cent, per annum
on its stock and has, in addition, put aside a surplus each month.
Our business is showing continually a large increase in out-
put for every month over the output for the corresponding month
in preceding years. Outside competition has never been felt as
little as during the last six months.
In the midst of such unexampled prosperity, that any one
interested in the company should imperil the immense interests
of its stockholders in such a scheme, as is charged, we think no
sane man will believe.
In regard to Mr. Gibson we have to say that he is a gentle-
man of character and high standing, that he has been a faithful
and efficient Secretary to this company, and that we do not credit
in the least that he is guilty of the crime charged against him.
The interests of this company will, in our judgement, be in
no wise affected by this charge. Mr. Gibson's resignation has
been tendered and accepted.

THE CHAMPAG/NE GOCIGE-RS.
The hotel and restaurant me:i who have seized upon the
"McKinley Bill do<lge" as an excuse for charging $4.50 and $5.(K)
per bottle for imported champa.?ne do not like the statements
made in the last iasue of the Rkview in regsird to their imiK)si-
tions.
Jo.seph Hord, of Hord & Kinzler, the proprietors of the
California Hotel, has sprung to the defenses of the ban.l of roblnM-s,
yclept hotel k.'epei-s, with whom he is iuss<Knat<'d. He says that
the fizzing fluid co.sts them $2.70 to $2.75 per bottle and thinks
that is an excuse for charging $4.50 and $5.00. Then he claims
that at Iwist two bottles in every tsiseare worthless which practi-
cally raises the price of cjidi lK)ttle to $:{.;!0 or therealKjuts.
Then, with petniliar irritation, he SJiys that as each host hius to
carry a big stock no one can sell for less than $5.00 and make
anything.
This is all rubbish as any one conu»M,'ted with the trade
knows. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Hord and his fellows
thought they saw a chance to squeeze the public and they seized
it quickly. There isn't a house in New York, Delmouicos in-
cluded, which charges over $4.00, and $3.00 is the figure at the
Gilsey House.
We think that the best thing the champagne men can do is
to go in and stop this infamous steal practiced by the local men.
Five dollars for champagne is too much and the public will not
stand it. The agents, such as W. B. Chapman, Wni. W'olfT &
Co., MjU!ondray & Co., A. Vignier, James De Fremery & Co.,
Hellman Bros. & C'o., Harry Veuve. Jont^s, Muudy & Co., and
sonje othei-s are in a |)o«ition to settle things and down the r.'-
tailers ring inside of a day. Four dollars is sufficient, at most,
for im|K>rt.Hl champagne, <and the agents am compel this rate and
increase their sales by doing so.

SUPP-RESS M-R. HILGA-RD.
The sweet wine situation has been needlessly complicated
during the past fortnight by a series of tests made at the local
Internal Revenue office to decide on the best methods of determin-
ing alcohol in sweet wines. The question which is not by any
means a new one, was raised by Professor Hilgard of the State
University and the sole result of the inquiry has been to foster
the breach already extending between him and the department.
The lat33t trouble aross after the last issue of the Review
went to presa. At that time Commissioner Mason had assured
us in a letter evidently intended for publication, that as fiir as he
could do so he would aid the swijst wine producers of the state;
he had promised a thorough investigation of the matter, and he
has and still does treat with the utmost courtesy and attention
any one who calls in person on him.
Early in the month Hilgard went to the local Internal
Revenue office and wanted to test the accuracy of the spindles in
use there. He was politely informed that to do so he would have
to get permission from the Washington office. This was of course
promptly given as a matter of courtesy and Hilgard set to work.
He made his tests and officers of the Internal Revenue Depart-
ment made theirs, and no material variance was found. With
this avenue to pick a flaw in the office closed, Hilgard raised the
old, old question of the differenca between the ordinary tests and
the results obtained by the use of the Salleron still. In a few
days he had the local office all torn up with his useless tests to
prove what was already known. The tests ware made in due
time and the result was what the daily papsrs call "an ex-
tremely length}^ and abstrusely technical" document, aimed at
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the meat of which is
that the Salleron stills are usually more accurate than the sacchar-
ometer method. The experiments showed higher percentages of
from one, to three and six-tenths by the Salleron. All of which
is, of course, very new to Hilgard but is hardly new to others in
the business.
We are at a loss to understand this latest movement on the
part of the Sage of Barkeley, unless it was laid on the same lines
as all of his work has been. We do not see what he had to gain
by making these tests except the pleasure of seeing flaring head-
lines in the daily papers reading "Professor Hilgard favors the
use of the Salleron." If notoriety was his aim, he has certainly
gained it and in a manner not at all to the benefit of the wine
men. The saccharonieter method which has long been in use
has given results satisfactory to the wine men and to the Depart-
ment; and if the Salleron method is substituted the sweet wine
men will merely have Hilgard to thank for the privilege of hav-
ing less alcohol in their wines or paying for one to three per cent
more in case they are assessed.
It was not to be expected of course that Professor Hilgard
would let slip the opportunity to get into the papers and accord-
ingly, on the 9th inst. the Chronicle and Examiner had a full state-
ment of the contents of the letter which he sent to the Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue on the 7tli.
We have not the slightest doubt but that copies of this letter
were taken to the journals in question either by Hilgard or his
agents. It was a gross piece of official discourtesy to give out
the contents at all and when that "lengthy and abstruse" docu-
ment on the virtues of the Salleron still and the saccharometer
gets to Washington its contents will be stale and spent and the
afficial to whom it is addressed will very naturally and justly
?ive it little attention.
We think that the time has come for the suppression of the
Dfficious gentleman from across the bay. He has sufficiently en-
ieared himself to the Internal Ktevenue Department .already to
warrant his retirement. Every California wine man who has
ately been in Washington has wired back to keep Hilgard out of
;he papers as much as possible.
To the Commission 3r of Internal Revenue we offer the
apologies of the wine men of California whose misfortune it has
been to have Hilgard meddle in this matter and delay a settle-
ment. We would beg the Commissioner to remember that Hil-
gard represents nobody except Hilgard, and that the sweet wine
men have formed an association of their own. They are ready,
through this Association and through the other Viticultural
bodies as well as the State Analyst, to give him all the assistance
in their power. All that we ask from the Department is fairness
and right and we ask it not seeking notoriety, but in the interests
of the industry we serve.
HAg/NE TO THE FQ-RE.
F. W. Hayne, the New York wine manipulator has published
a circular of which the following is a part:
"I propose publishing a paper in the interests of the
California vineyardists. I shall endeavor to make it dependent
on subscriptions; therefore at first it will not be an extensive
publication. If it has merit, I hope to make a success without
either blackguarding, blackmailing or puffing in order to obtain
advertisements. The circulation cutting no figure as an
advertising medium it will be perfectly independent.
"P. S. — My next Trade Auction Sale will take place next
September."
We are pleased to see Mr. Hayne in the field, but we are
rather dubious about his success in his newly chosen work. He
might learn something to his financial advantage by applying to
the erstwhile proprietor of the Whistle- Vitigraph,-CaHfornia
combination of San Francisco or Mr. B. F. Clayton, of New York,
with referenc3 to their exparienca in publishing a paper for
subscription only.
We have already paid our respects to Mr. Hayne's wine
auction scheme, but would say that with a level-headed man to
conduct it and $1,000,000 to back him, it might possibly be made
a success.
OU-R eHieAGO EXHIBIT.
Governor Marknam has approved the bill appropriating
$300,000 for a separate State exhibit at the World's Fair. Active
preparations for arranging the details and collecting the materials
will therefore soon begin.
With the sum at the disposal of the State it is possible to
make a splendid showing at the P'air and at the same time it is
possible that most of the money may be frittered away. There
will, to a certainty, be a sharp attack on the fund by the politi-
cians and it stands to reason that some friends of this or that boss,
great or small, will have to be "cared for."
But with an ordinarily great drain from this source there will
still be enough left to make a creditable showing. It is expected
of course that the developments of Viticulture and Horticulture
will be under the control of the State bodies devoted to these
pursuits of life. This is only just, proper and right. The Viti-
cultural Commission is in a position to do more effective work in
collecting a suitable and decently representative display of Cal-
ifarnia wines and brandies than is any other organization in the
Sta,te. The Horticultural Commission is similarly situated and
it is to be hoped that to these Commissions will be assigned the
duty of bringing together the materials which will go to make up
the greatest attraction to visitors in the entire California exhibit.

Under the caption of "A Few Corrections," our friend Min-
use the New York manager for the Ixmisville Wine and Spirit
Bulletin, pays his resi)ect8 to us in the following terms, regarding
our attitude conceniing the Hayne auction plan of selling wine
in New York:
To treat our contemporaries with justice and to regard them
without prejudice, is one of the principles upon which we stand
a« a trade journal. To enter into personalties in protecting a
principle or in proving a fact, is an abhorence to us; but to stand
by and uphold our convictions, is to us l»oth a matter of right and
of justice. Some time ago we learned that one of our conimis.'<i(m
merchants, Mr. F. W. Hayne proposed holding auction ssiles in
this city, of California wines and brandies. We looked carefully
into the idwis he presented to us; we attended pi'r.<(niuny tlie first
sale he held here, and have given from time to time such partic-
ulars reganling this matter as would be of interest to our n-ad-
ers. Our friend, the /fmni', .commenting upon this sale, and also
upon the position of the wine trade here, states that there are
comparatively few American buyers, especially in the Jjist.who
know what wines are. Aside frtmi the absurdity of such a state-
ment, we are sorry that the editor of the iWi/Jc Wiue and Spirit
]{rrinv <leriv(Hl such little Inmefit from his re<'ent trip pjist, and
we iH'g to state for his information that then' is prolmbly more
cxiHTt judg«*of winw and brandiw in the city of N«'w York
alone, than there ar»' in all the States west of the Mississippi river,
;mt If. It re<iuires very little argument to show that where the
consumption of wiue is the largest, that their knowle<lge regard-
ing thesubjwt is more apt to prevail than in wctions where wine,
as an article of consumption, is almost unknown. In answering
another question which the Jifvlmv puts to us we would say '''iit
fine wines, aside from those bearing French labels, are want*" »»

this city, aud are used here. We would go a little further and
say, that were it not for the very large amount of refuse stock
thrown on this market, the appreciation which the sound products
of the California wine grower deserves here would be greatly ex-
tended, and the 20,000 gallons of wine which our friend says is
offered at fifty cents f. o. b., San P>aucisco, could, if it showed
proper quality, find a ready sale here. The Reveiw states further
that buyers in London attending auction sales purchase goods of
established merit and reputation, and liow foolish is this state-
ment, when nine-tenths of the goods he refers to are sold strictly
on their merits and are of comparatively unknown brands. We
are ashamed of our contemporary for saying that Mr. I. de Turk
has dissolved his relation with Mr. Hayne, owing to his (Haynes')
auction plan, when he certainly must be in a position to know
that such is not the fact. To show our California friends that
there are some people besides ourselves who do not look with dis-
favor upon auction sales of California wines and brandies in this
market, and for the benefit of the Review, which calls such sales
"A rattle-brained scheme for the demoralization of a market,"
we give below a copy of a letter received from Senator Stanford
in reply to our inquiry as to whether he intended to dispose of
som3 of his enormous stosk of brandy by auction in New York.
Office of Leland Stanford, U. S. S., ")
1701 K Street, [•
Washington, D. C, Feb. 7, 1891. )
Mr. Wm. T. Minme, Room 12, No. Jf5 Beaver Street, New York City :
Dear Sir: Your letter of February 3d to Senator Stanford in
relation to sales of brandy at auction has been received.
In reply I am directed to inform you that the matter has not
been fully determined as yet, though under consideration.
Yours respectfully,
John B. McCarthy, Private Secretary.
Casting aside the little homily, which friend Minuse indulges
in at the opening of liis article, we are in a position to repeat and
do repeat that there are comparatively few Americans East of the
Rocky Mountains who are able to judge of wines on their merits.
That there are many experts in the trade in New York, and
among the importers, is not to be questioned for a moment, nor
did we question it. But the fact still remains that American buy-
ers of our wines are few when compared to the foreign buyers.
If the Bulletin knows what it is talking about as far as New York
J8 concerned, it must admit that the bulk of California wines is
consumed by the French, Germans, Italians and other foreign peO"
pie resident there. California wines in incst cases are looked up-
on with disfavor in the clubs, altliough they are making headway
against this false prejudice. Some day it will be the fad to drink
them under their own labels exactly as it is the "proper thing" in
the East, to use California fruits. Wiiile the importers are un-
doubtadly expert judges of wine on their me rits, veiy few ofthtm
buy California wines, for sale under their tru3 colors. They regard
them as of sufficient excellence to be entitled to masquerade un-
der such alluring labels as " St. Julien ", " Hochheimer ", " Deides-
heimer," "Liebfraumilch", etc. This is at the same time a tribute
from the importers to the merits of our wines, and a sorry re-
flection on the American wine drinkers of New York.
The idea that wine as an article of consumption is unknown
in California, is, to say the least, very amusing.
In regard to the wine auction scheme, the facts and figures
that have been purchased in connection with the first (and we
hope the last for some time) effort to sell onr wines in New York,
is the best answer that can be made. The auction was a failure
and we see no reason for qualifying the statement in the least.
As to Senator Stanford's consideration of the plan to di.spose of
his brandies at public sale, it seems to have been limited to "filing
away" the letter of the auction promoter, inasmuch as he has
sensibly established special agencies for the sale of his product,
in New York and Chicago and gives no evidence of dependence
on fleeting auction sales. Referring to the relations of Mr. De
Turk and Mr. Hayne, we have nothing further to say and have
no qualifications of our statement already made, to offer.
VALE LOCAL OPTIO/N.
Oakland has beaten the local optionist clear out of siglit, and
henceforth the city across the bay will be governetl bj^ license laws.
The victory is decisive; aud the W. C. T. U. will have to take a
back seat in consequence. The election clearly demonsti-ated that
the male population of Oakland will be governed just so far by the
women, but that at local option, they di-aw tlie line.
• Vale local option.
Alameda has raised the license from 8200 to $501) annually and
the most satisfactory results are anticipated by the high license
party in that place. We are less sanguine.

The Napa Valley Wine Co. is so pushed with orders from
the East, that it is all but impossible tiO got out the wine fast

goods they offer their patrons.
Julius P. Smith is now placing his wines on the English
market under their own label. The first sale publicly reported

Riesling at 17s 6d. The prices are not large it is true ranging
from $3.12 to $4.20 per case but this cannot long be so when
their merits are better known.
Madeira bids fair to become a popular wine in society once
more. Ever since Ward McAllister, the leader of the New York
Four Hundred, has set his seal of approval on this famous wine
in h's book, "Society as I Have Found It," there are indications
of a general revival of Madeira drinking among the wealthiest
classes. McAllister has all the old Southern fondness for this old
wine and he can popularize it to no little degree if ho sees fit.
We have been recently shown a sample of a sour ma.sh

proud of the ijuccess so far attained, and if the whisky should
continue to develop with time as it has shown up for the past
few months since it was made, we predict for this new grade a
most brilliant future. — Criterion.

of business he is the soul of geniality and the life of the com-
pany. He has recently established his headquarters in Chicago.

The trade in spurious Cognac brandy has assumed such pro-
portions that the municipality of the town of Cognac, whence the
beverage derives its name, has found itself called upon to issue a
public notice warning purchasers and consumers of Cognac that
there are over two hundred fictitious firms who respresent them-
selves as manufacturers of the article, and brand their cases with
an address in Cognac, but who have no existence whatever in
that city. The work of returning letters addressed to these
imaginary houses is a serious source of trouble to the Cognac
post-office.
Adolphus Busch, of St. Louis, and the San Francisco gen-
tlemen who are associated with him in the plan to erect a new
brewery here are making considerable headway with their scheme.
The great difficulty thus far has been to get a suitable site.
Several locations have been proposed and it is understoo<l that
the Company has about closed with several parties for the neces-
sary land. It is a difficult matter to get all the property necessary
for such a large establishment in the central portion of the city
at a reasonable price and necessarily the Company does not dare
to announce that it will buy in any location until all the property
has been bonded.
One of the best known brands in the State is the "J. H.
Cutter," owned and controlled by Messrs. C. P. Moorman & Co.
The brand was first introduced to the trade by Mr. J. H. Cutter
in the year 1850, Mr. C. P. Moorman becoming associated with
him in '58, and in '60 purchased the brand at the death of Mr.
Cutter for something like $51,000. This was, perhaps, the high-
est price that was ever paid for a brand of whisky. Besides
owning the above brand, the company carry a large assortment of
the principal brands of the State in bond and free, always using
care in selecting goods made strictly under the old-fashioned
hand-made sour-mash plan. The trade of the house extends all
over the country, being represented by local agents in as remoto
points as Boston on the one side and San Francisco on the other.

In the following extract from an interview in the Louisville
Thnes, Major D. W. Sanders pays a handsome compliment to
Capt. George H. Moore, of Moore, Hunt & Co., and of Moore &
Selliger and Jesse Moore & Co., of Louisville. So modest is Mr.
Moore regarding his military exploits, that this little bit of history
will come as a revelation even to many of his intimate friends:
"I once had a view of Sherman's entire army, and the sight
was a most magnificent one, and one which I will never forget.
It was at the time when Johnson's army occupied the line on
Kenesaw Mountain. Stretched out to the north at the base of
the mountain was one of the most beautiful and fertile valleys of
the south, every inch of ground being under cultivation. Into
this valley marched Sherman's entire army of 110,000 men, with
their muskets, artillery, camp utensils and stores. From the
top of the mountain they could be readily seen as they marched
and countermarched in the valley. At that tim3 a spiritsd con-
flict took place. Major Stores planted two batteries of artillery
on top of the mountain and opened fire on Sherman's men.
Capt. George H. Moore, of this city, was in comnmnd of the
skirmish line, and was well down on the mount.iin side in Sher-
man's front. Capt. Moore, who was considered one of the
bravest, coolest, and best of the young officers, covered himself
with especial glory on that occasion. Sherman, with his char-
acteristic decision, massed one hundred and thirty pieces of
artillery, and opened a continuous fire on Major Stores' men
while he shelled Capt. Moore's skirmish line with sixty pieces of
artillery. It was a sight never to be forgotten, and every move
could be seen from the summit of the mountain."
It is doubtful if any other house connected with our trade
has ever succeeded in doing a business of so great magnitude as
that done by C. P. Moorman & Co., of Louisville, with so little
stir and noise. Mr. Moorman is by nature a quiet, unobtrusive
man, and so well has he handled the famous J. H. Cutter, that it
has naturally fallen into his ways, and without a bit of fuss,
without any contention with rivals, without any beating of drums
or waving of banners, it just "gets there."
Mr. Moorman has never followed in the beaten tracks of
trade, but with ideas of his own he has quietly cut out a path for
himself. His plan has never been a selfish one, but based rather
on the conception that to make money himself he must help
others to make money. Acting on this idea, he has always
worked through agents, and by protecting them in their
territories, by giving them only good whisky to sell, and by in-
spiring them with his wonderful faculty of waiting in patience
the development of appreciation on the part of the public of a
superior article, he has placed more than one on the high road to
fortune. Mr. Moorman is opposed to "hurry" in our business.
He holds that Time is our great friend — Time, the great fiictor in
the development of a fine whisky. The bonded period is never
too long for him, and after his goods are tax-paid, he stores them
away for yeai-s on his capacious floors. Tiiero he blends them
after his own peculiar methods, and again stores them away to
complete their maturity. Nor does this satisfy him, for in ship-
ping to California, for instance, he does not use the fast freight
lines, but rather ships in large lots by the slow-sailing vessels
around Cape Horn. For six long months these consigunu>nts to
the Golden Stiite are tossed upon "old ocean blue," crossing the
equator twice during the voyage, and when finally they are
greeted by Messrs. A. P. Hotaling & Co., of San Francisco, they
send up a fragrance that fairly rivals the scentetl flowers of that
favored clime, and the fortunat;; C'alifoi-nians, whr)se i)alates are
ever tickled with the good things of life. ar(^ always ready to
admit that "it is a nectar fit for the gods." The J. H. Cutter
whiiky is au institution in itself. — T. M, Gilmore in Bonforts.

■ji,, I iix. son .-pi fits for the year ending 1889 brought the
Hii-iaii <i..\.niiiicnt -.'Tri.iMMi.tMKI roubles, alwmt 1(I,(HM).(KM» more

conn- for tell y«at> previous.
C.orgc F. Kibling, of Norwich, Vt., has been fined $8,00()
foi s.lling 71 ■"> drinks. . As he didn't have the money, he was
.-.•iit.n.-.! to si.\ty-(meyeai-s. seven months and twenty days haixl
lalHir. l-Acn Kditor Sheahan and the Prohibit'wnid couldn't ask
for more than this.
The viiita^'c of 1890 inSmilli Au.stralia was very gooil owing
to till- fiivorable weatlier. The wines show a marked improve-
ment in jMiint of elegance and lightnws of character, (jualitics
wliicii will be appreciatL'd in the English market. Victoria was
als'> favored witii a splendid crop, and the wiaoj of 1890 will be
rememlK-red for (juailty and be much sought for in the future.
An ingenious invention has lately iKH'n patente<l for oj)ening
soila water Isrttles. which forms at the same time a stand for the
Isittle. Everyone knows the perverse way aerated waters havi
of freeing themselves from their corks, usually at the expense of
the clothes around. But in the "indispensable," the corkscrew
iH'ing firmly attiiched to the frame holding the bottle, the cx)rk
can only escape at the will of the opener. The only points to
observe are to insert the corkscrew before removing the wire, and
not to take the cork out too suddenly; moreover, if only half the
contents of the Iwttle are recjuired, the cork can be imme<iiately
replaced by reversing the action of the cork.>screw.
The j)rohibition law has been in effect in North Dakota since
June 30th hist, but was not enforced owing to the original ])ackage
controversy. Since the recent decision by tlie Supreme Court on
this point, for the first time in the history of Bismarck the sjiloons
have closed their doors for an indefinite periotl, an^ not a drink
cau be had. A crisis luu* now been reachetl in the fight for i)ro-
hibition in North Dakota. The State is now al)out evenly divided
.on this question. A strong effort will be made to secure the
passage of the re-submission bill. The probability is, however,
that the measure will l)e defeated, as the latest canvass of both
Houses shows a majority in favor of the present iron clad pro-
hibition laws.
It is gratifying to note the increasing demand for California
wines in the East, but this demand ought not to mislead some
California w ine growers to plant more vines. The quality of the
wine should lx> improved rather than the quantity. Only a small
l)roportion of the California wine which comes here is first-class
wine. The great bulk is heavy and somewhat deficient in flavor
and delicacy, which does not suit palates jccustomed to the light
wines of the Garonne or the better grades of Burgundies. Our
wholesiile dealers as a rule are gocnl judges of a first-class wine.
California nuist ctmcjuer the wholesjile trade if she desires a
permanent market for her wines here at remunerative price.s,
(Quality is as important as quantity. — N. Y. Wine and Spirii Gn-

We can supply Caramel or Burnt Sugar Coloring at seventy-
five cents per gallon in barrels, as strong and as brilliant as any
that was ever manufactured. Not one complaint has reached us
the quality of our Sugar Coloring for over a year, and our sales
extend to every State in the Union.
If the price was $10, instead of seventy-five cents per gallon,
we could not produce a superior article. Every package guaran-
teed. Samples on application.

BUeHA/SA/N'S BOOK.
tinder the title of "Whisky Trade Facts", George C. Buchanan,
the well-known Louisville broker, has published a little book which
contains a vast deal of information to the trade. Among the facts
presented are: tables showing production on Kentucky, Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee and the United
States for ten years; withdrawals from bond, withdrawals for ex-
port, Stocks remaining in bond June 30th in the same states for
the same time; and a mass of statistics well arranged, in regard to
the status of old whiskies. Mr. Buchanan's well-known reliabil-
ity as a compiler coupled with his soundness of views, makes the
work particularly valuable.
The work of the National Protective Association in checking
prohibition fanaticism, has been very effective, and a great num-
ber of our trade deserve credit for the liberal way in which thej'
supported the organization. With the matter of prohibition well
in hand, we now have time and should employ the means of let-
ting the public know the exact position of our trade as regards
temperance or good government. During the period of existence
of the National Protective Association, it was taxed to its utmost
to defeat prohibition in the different States and territories. We
would like to see the organization continued in existence with
sufficient funds at its command to distribute literature setting
forth our real position regarding intemperance and our complete
contempt for the lawless. We owe it to society and to ourselves,

He was lM»rn in Kl Donulo eounty, April 7, 1868, and has never

Stiitf line into Mexico. AVhen lie wan but two years old, his par-

att«-n(Ied stliool until he was fifteen ye^rs old.
Willi one liundred dollait* in Iuh pcx-ket, he came to San

trade. Wiien his apprenticeship was over, he had wived up two
Inuuhtcl doihirs with whicli he wtaldished tlie Mechanic's Koun-
ilry on First street. At the close of the first year, he bought out
all his partners, and managed the business alone for the next
four yeai-s. At the end of this time, the business collapsed, and
he was left with a debt of $3,(M)0 on his hands.
He I(M>k('d ab<mt for some other occupation, and took up a
patent oil burner with success, but after a year went back to min-
ing, amid the first scenes of boyhood. Tliis proved very unprofit-
able, aiul after a year and a half, he returned to Ssm Fi-ancisco

The following additional trade notices are taken from Mtda's
( 'literion (Holiday Number).
Tlie M. V. Monarclj Go.
SHOW us a man of success and \vt! will show one who posses-
ses the requisite elements which are bound to assert them-
selves, and raise him above the masses. Such men, like oil on
water, are bound to rise to the top, and M. V. Monarch has proved
to be such a man. He seems to be endowed by nature to take a
commanding position everywhere, and his physique is in perfect
harjnony with his mental force. He is not alone valuable as a
friend, but even as an antagonist he is appreciated, being bold,
open and above-board. There is neither hypocrisy nor deception
about him, nor about anything he does. Such characters cannot
produce anything second rate or allow themselves to be surpassed
by any one. This fully exj lains why "M. V. Monarch," "Sover-
eign," and his entire cordon of braiuls, have always maintained
so enviable a place in the realm of Kentucky whiskies. His con-
stant and vigilant study has been to attain the best, and the ap-
proval of dealers in every secticm of the country, which is the true
basis of actual demand, at all times testifies that he has attained
this end.
In the selection of his very able corps of assistants, Mr. Mon-
arch has also demonstrated his judgment, for no better nor more
loyal and efficient co-workers can any firm boast of than Mr. Fred
W. Clark as an office manager, and P. E. Payne as a representa-
tive on the road.
Barrett & Go. of New York.
(^^TmONG other important New York concerns that have had
^Ta. to move into much larger premises may be mentioned the
prune juice manufacturing house of Barrett & Co., now at 127
and 129 Broad street. These gentlemen found their business
growing at an extraordinary rate of lata, so that greatly enlarged
facilities became absolutely necessary, and hence they secured
the spacious five-story and basement building at 43 Front street,
to which they removed about the first of December. Those new
premises permit of a production of 1,000,000 gallons of prune
juice per annum. "Barrett's Unrivaled" prune juice is unques-
tionably as fine an article of its kind as can be found in any of
the markets of the world, and it is on this basis of absolute
supsriority that the enor.nou? d3niind has been built up. And
not only is the home demand growing at a wonderful rate, but
the company are also shipping it to Great Britain and Australia
— in fact, all over the world.
The new building is admirably adapted for the conduct of
such a line of business as this. The basement is used for the
storage of raw material; the first floor for shipping rooms; the
second for offices; the third for gauging and stamping depart-
ments, and the fourth and fifth for manufacturing purposes. As
already stated, there will be a capacity for producing 1,000,000
gallons of prune juice annually.
High praise is due to Messrs. Barrett & Co. for the ability
and energy and integrity they have brought to bear in the build-
ing up of their splendid business, and the future now lies brighter
before them than ever.
Wiley Searcy.
0NE of the oldest, if not the oldest, distillery in Anderson
county, is that of Wiley Searcj% at McBrayer Ky., whose
"Old Joe" first saw the dawn of light in 1818. The same mode
of distillation has been strictlj'' adhered to ever since the incep-
tion of the brand, and at the same old place. Mr. Searcy has
had an experience of over twenty years in distilling, and has
witnessed many innovations during that period, but as none of
these has commended itself to his judgment he has.preferred the
good old way and the result is the incomparable "Old Joe." He
is using a two chambered wood burr still, and the whisky is
doubled in a copper still over a wood fire. No steam whatever
goes into the still.- He mashes one bushel at a time in small
tubs. In short the whole plant is a living type of the old-fasii-
ioned hand-made sour mash whisky, which has created the de-
mand for that justly meritorious product of the Kentucky still.
Dealers throughout the country handling sour ma«h goods should,
in their own interest, when visiting the Kentucky distilleries,
not miss seeing this one, and compare the results of distillation
as between the old and the new methods. Facts speak more
forcibly than theories, and while some may claim that nuishing
in large tubs is as good as in small, and that using Hungarian
yeast in place of natural yeast, and wood fire instead of steam
makes no difference in the results, a visit to Mr. Searcy's distillery
will, he claims, help to solve the question.
He has just finished a new and perfect warehouse in which
every barrel is well aired and the utmost care and attention are
bestowed upon the proper storing and maturing. The capsicity
of the distillery is but one hundred bushels a day, running six
months to the season, hence the output can not exceed 1 ,500
barrels in all. No over-production need therefore be apprehended
from this source at least. "Old Joe," although old in years as a
brand is full of youthful vigor and is steadily gaining with each
year in popularity, and the consumption is bound steadily to
increase, for every gallon of "Old Joe" reaching the consumer,
speaks for itself.
A-RTIFieiAL WI/NES.
The production of artificial wines has been greatly de-
veloped. It is divided into two categories, viz: sugared wines
and raisin wines. The first ones comprise natural wines, to which
the growers add sugar to increase their alcoholic strength (in
France we grow natural wines containing only six to seven de-
grees of alcohol). These sugared, or i-ather those alcoholized
wines, the strength of which is increased three degrees by the
help of refined sugar, are evidently a little less good than wines,
which are naturally rich in sugar, but their quality is greatly su-
perior to that of raisin wines, or of wines, the strength of which
is increased by the addition of spirit, such as those, which
were made up in Spain and which are still being made up
in Italy. Wines made from marcs, commonly called piquettes,
are also looked upon as sugared wines, growers adding sugar to
them. These marc wines form a very healthy beverage, but one
of inferior quality. The crop having been a very abundant one,
sugared wines have been made up in larger quantities— 1,946,720
hectolitres against 1,479,122 hectolitres.
The making of raisin wine appears to be on the increase
also; it would appear to have more than doubled (4,292,850
hectol. in 1890, instead of 1,826,129 hectol. last year). The law,
which puts the works, where these wines are made, under a very
.severe control, has very much contributed to this enormous in-
crease. In looking over the Custom House returns, we fiiul that
the consumption of raisin wine went up from 7.3,835 tuns in 1889,
to 95,306 tuns in 1890, during the first ten months of the year.
From this we calculate that the production of raisin wine in 1889
amounted to 3,200,000 hectol., and that it increased one-third in
1890. As to the 2,000,000 hectol. omitted in 1889, they were got
secretly out of works. (It was discovered that, about a year ago,
defrauding to the extent of a 700,000 francs to the Treasury was
committed in one establishment alone).
On the whole, according to the official retui-ns. France would
appear to have produced this year 33,655,9(X) hectolitres of
natural or half-natural wines. — Remie Des Vim Et Liqueurg, Paris.

either. How this is done, is Takamine's secret. The fact that
tlie additions need not be made, of courae, reduces the cost of man.

of the value of the wines has since been made, and, according to
this, the years wine crop was worth nearly 40,(KKJ,0()0/. Figures
like t lies*" convey a good idea of the vast im|)ortanee that the cul-
ture of the vine still hoMs amongst the industries of P'rance. Fur-
ther evidence of a similar kind is to be found in the annual return
of imports and exports which is issued by the French (iovem-
ment. I^ist year, it seems, the value of the imiM)rts was 4,423,-
25.5,000 francs, and of the exports 3,720,121, 0(M) francs, and
towanls these totals, wines, spirits and beer contributed 42.'),479,-
(KK) francs and 320.646,000 francs respectively. It will be of some
Interest to our readers, however, to have the particulai-s in detail.

Italy, which occupied a leading position in this list prior to
the lapse of the commercial treaty, fell further tehind last year,
and there was also an enormous diraiuutiou in the imports from
Portugiil. On the other hand, Spain sent a much gi-eatcr quan-
tity of wine, and considerable progress wsismadeby Algeria, and,
on a smaller scale, by Tunis. In the aggregate the imports show
an increase, contrary to the experience of the previous year. As
to the exports, there was a slight augmentation of value last
year, but it was due entirely to spirits, wines, indeed, falling

Spcakiug of the retention of carbonic acid in wines and the
possibility of increasing it artificially, Die Weinlaube, the organ
of the Research Station at Klosterneuberg, near Vienna qnotes
some remarks of Dr. Hermann Muller, of Thurgau, at the Wine
Growers' Congress at Triers last year. Dr. Muller observed:
The researches of Delbruck, Hayduck, and others have
demonstrated that in beer fermentations the carbonic a«id affects
yeast growth, but its influence on fermentation is inappreciable.
Similar researches relating to wine fermentations, which have
engaged my attention for some years past, have given analogous
results. The carbonic acid has no appreciable effect on the
progi'ess of fermentation, even with an increased pressure of a half
to one atmosphere at the surface of the liquid. Initial yeast
formation was not materially affiected by it, so that the total fer-
mentative effect, the resultant of the numerical aggregate of
yeast cells, and the activity of each individual cell, was not
altered to any material extent by the evolution of carbonic acid.
But my researches likewise showed that, as regards renewal of
yeast growth in finished wines, and the invasion of disease germs
and other affections therein, the case is entirely different. The
carbonic acid contained in the wine exerts an exceedingly power-
ful influence, and if present in sufficient quantity, constitutes an
excellent preservative. Finished wine, with some added sugar,
was treated with different volumes of carbonic acid, and it was
found that the multiplication of the fugitive traces of yeast was
in onecase rapid, in the other tardy, or wanting altogether.
These results, which are somewhat at variance with the preceed-
ing, may be explained on the ground that the wine contained
alcohol enough to all but prevent further yeast growth. Under
the repressive influence of carbonic acid in quantity such further
growth was impossible; with a small amount of carbonic acid, it
was possible to a limited extent. These points are of much im-
portance in the wine cellar. We know that after fermentation
is over new wine contains an abundance of carbonic acid, and
that large quantities are lost in racking and replaced by atmos-
pheric air. With common wines, in their youth, this loss of
carbonic acid entails no risk, as it is compensated by the oxida-
tion changes which quickly follow. It however, should not be
carried too far, and with weak wines repeated racking, such as is
often recommended for the improvement of the wine, appears to
me to be an expedient not to be generally resorted to without
careful consideration and a fuller understanding of the results in
practice. With older wine, in which experience shows us the
oxidation changes are less, any considerable loss of carbonic acid
will involve greater risks. Not only should the empty spaces
above the wine in the cask be kept filled, but every effort should
be made to enable the wine to retain its carbonic acid as far as
possible. Such wine will sample better, and will find in its car-
bonic acid a safeguard against various maladies. Not only
mould and acetic ferment, but various bacteriological agencies
affecting the color and soundness, have here to be kept in mind
Although at present commercial carbonic acid is not employed
as an aid in vinification, nor used for the conservation of wines,
or the treatment of sickness therein, I am firmly convinced that
the day is not far distant when such will be the case. For the
present, it remains to recognize the importance of carbonic acid
in wine, and to do all that is practicable to insure its retention, a
few points need to be further touched upon. Although the sepa-
ration of the carbonic acid and its replacement by atmosperic air
may be good for young wine, there comes a stage — sooner or
later according to the vintage and character of the wine — where
loss of carbonic acid should be prevented as much as possible.
Such wine should not be i-acked periodically according to any
hard and fast rule, but only when absolutely necessary. The
racking should be done with the pump, for the reasons already
insisted on. In filtering, the loss of carbonic acid is especially
ip«at, as the wine is brought into cohtact with the solid substance
of the filter in so highly comminuted a form. Practical men
know how wine suffers in this respect, and how long it is in re-
covering itself, particularly more aged wine. Filters should be
used in which the loss of carbonic acid is least, and the filtering
should be 3one out of the reach of the air and under pressure, the
pressure being maintained not only during filtration, but some
time after the wine is in cask. An excellent method of retaining
acid in wine is not to defer the bottling too long. Carbonic acid
introduced with the wine or subsequently formed in the bottle,
not only acts as a preservative, but is a recommendation of the
wine in the opinion of experienced judges. By keeping wine that
has been bottled young in sound condition, it meets one of the re-
quirements of consumers.
In the discussion that followed. Dr. Barth spoke of the appli-
cation of the principle to the wines of Alsace, which are very lia-
ble to clouding and are then difficult of sale. Commerzieu-Ralk
Wegeler, of Coblentz, called attention to a new filter employed in
France for small wines, which has a supply of carbonic acid. Dr.
Muller spoke of the effects of temperature in bottling — the lower
the temperature, the less the loss of carbonic acid. Dr. Pulisch,
of Giesenheim, cited instances of the practical value of retaining
the carbonic acid in wines. The Swiss high-class wines in the
Lausanne district are bottled when four months old. If kept
longer they are apt to cloud. W'nes of a like description in Ba-
den are very liable to clouding. There the bottling is deferred
till later, when the wine does not contain carbonic acid enough
to preserve it. Dr. Pulisch's researches showed that fruit wines
contain a relatively larger amount of carbonic acid than grape-
wines, to which he attributes their keeping properties with a very
low alcoholic percentage. Some of the carbonic acid appears to
be produced by the decomposition of constituent principles other
than sugar.
The Weinlaube, whilst acknowleding the value oi the carbon-
ic acid in wine, attaches little importance to the foregoing sugges-
tions. The retention of much of the carbonic acid now lost in
racking and fining would not compensate for the disadvantages to
which wine wherein the albuminous matters have not been elim-
inated by aeration is liable on the slightest changes of temperature
on exposure to the air. Bottled wines, too, must always form an
inconsiderable part of the total consumed. The idea of retaining
carbonic acid to a greater extent than at present is, therefore re-
jected as impracticable. The supply of carbonic acid by artificial
means may be effected in three ways: 1. By decomposing lime or
other mineral in a receiver with acid, and leading the gas into the
volume of the wine. Experience has shown that imless mechani-
cal means are provided for agitating the wine in contact with the
gas, the amount of the latter taken up by the wine, whether it be
supplied by the decomposition of mineral substance or led from
fermenting must, is insufficient for any practic il purp3se. The
addition of carbonic acid in this way is, accordingly, too complex
an operation for general use. 2. By fermentation with added
sugar. This method is likewise impracticable, inasmuch as the
fermentation set up does not end with the production of the car-
bonic acid sought, but induces other undesired changes in the
wine. 3. By the employment of the commercial carbonic acid
now sent out in a highly compressed form in cast-iron cylin-
ders. Whether this costly and difficult method would admit of
practical application, remains to be proved. If the object be
merely to increase the volume of carbonic acid in a particular
wine, it is suggested that mixing with a younger wine of the same
kind, containing a larger proportion of the gas, would be the sim-
plest and most effectual method.

DISTILL MOKE B-RA/NBg.
Ill view of the jircHi-nt (|uietue88 of the wine market and
t!ic viiiljigc of last year, many of the leading distillers will in-
crease their jiriMliict this sea.-^on. It is a well-known fact that the
brainlv market is in a far better wmditiou than the wine market.
Distillers have the advantage of a lj<'tter demand for their
jtnslucl. of an ability to 1m»itow money on their goods and of a
mure widely spread demand.
Of late orders have come to many distillers from the Kjust
anil KurojK' for large ((uaiititii-s of brandy, which up to the proB-
cnt they have Ix-en unable to fill. For instani-e George West
& Sons, the well-known Stockton hou.se, has an order for a large
i|uantity for shipment to England, and the L. J. Rose
<"o. is r.'|(ortc(l to have another large one from the ssimc dirwtion.
The I'jistcrii orilci-s are undeniably growing and it would not be
suijirising if the shipments in that direction would Ihj sixty to
seventy-live per c;'nt greater this year than tliev wen- in IXSK).
Altogether the outlook for brandy is promising and a move-
ment is suggested in the Napa Valley for the distillation of say
one-fourth of the crop of 1 800. Such action would inevitably
hi'lp all couceriuHl and it has even been suggested to the banks
in St. Helena and Napa that they back up such an enterprise for
their own good and for the prosperl y of the valley from which
they make their earnings. The banks could well aftbrd to see
that distillation is carried on in a satisfactory manner and few
investments that could be made would pay better.
Various estimates of the product of 1891 are already being
made. If distillation is conducted on the scale that it should be the
product will be large. We would like to see the output reach
1,5(M).()00 to 1 ,800,(KM) gallons and with a product a« large a.s this
there would be no danger of oM-r production a.s it is a well-known
fact that a«ide from the Stjiuford brandy there is now ])ra<.'ti(silly
no old brandy in first hands and the total bonded stocks do not
greatly exceetl oneyesir's priwluction.
Prices arc low we admit, but the moment some relief is given
the wine market, the price of brandy will go up in sjmpathy.
The reverse; is true at present, but it would not be were 18!K) wine ,
stocks rcducwl 2,.50<),O00 to 3.(M)0,0()0 gallons by distillation.
IMPROVED GOPPER PLANT FOR DISTILLERIES.
The attention of distillers may b3 usefully directed to the
new description of copper piping known as the Elmore copjH-i .
The specialty consists in the fact that the pipes or tubes ai(
seamless, whilst additional advantages arc found in the great
purity of the copper, and its superior conductivity to heat, li
may be added that the process of manufacture is extremely inter-
esting. A mandrel of the diameter of the pipes to be made i>
taken and suitably coated; it is then immersed in a trough con-
taining a saturated solution of copper sulphate, and when the
whole is at a suitable temperature, a current of electricity is
passed through the metallic mandrel, so that jturt; copjMjr is de-
positee! from the salt in fine particles, and these adhere to the
mandrel, which meanwhile is kept slowly revolving, so that all
sides get equally coated. The acid set free by this electric action
gnulually dissolves more of the rough copper crystals, which lie
in a heaj) at the bottom of the trough, so that the solution is
always satumtwl with the sulphate. The mandrel lies in a hori-
zontal iK)sition in the trough, which can Ik- of any length or
depth, and it is nuived along gradually so that the dcpo.sit of
copper is regular. The piiw can be ma<le very thin or tan be
i-qually made very thick, according to the period of exiH>sun> to
the eltitrical action. Eventually the eovcnnl mandrel is remove
fnim the trough, burnishers are applied to smooth of the ro«_
ness, and the mandrel is then withdrawn, leaving the hollow tuli
or piiH>, The marks of the buniishers are plainly visible u{K)|
the pi|K-s. For use as copper coils for heating or CH)oling, fa
worms, and for many other pur))osos, these seamless
pilK» will be found extremely serviceable.

A/NOTHE-R -RAISE I/N CH AMPAGME.
Dispatches from Paris indicate that there is shortly to be
another raise in the price of champagne. The dispatch is as
follows:
"The vintners announce an advance of twelve and one-half
francs per dozen on champagne. The reason given for this ad-
vance is that they apprehend considerable damage to future vin-
tages by the ravages of the phylloxera. This, however, is
considered to be only a pretext to obtain higher prices. Experi-
ments made in various parts of France prove that the wine-growers
are now able to successfully combat the phylloxera. The real
reason for the advance in the price is that the growers, who have
hitherto been at the mercy of the shippers, have formed a com-
bination and raised the price of champagne. The shippers, in
turn, have increased the price to consumers."
This is a pretty prospect for consumers of foreign chami)agnes
considering the advances already made on account of the ])iissage
of the McKiuley Bill and the determination of hotel men to
cinch the public.
/NEW METHOD OF -PUKIFgiA^G
LIQUO-RS.
We "find in our esteemed contemporary, the Brewers^ and
Dealers' Journal, of Philadelphia, the following in its January
issue:
A new process for the purification of distilled liquors is at-
tracting considerable attention. Dr. Ira B. Cushing, of Brookline,
Mass., made a discovery some ten years ago, the outcome of which
is the " Cushing Process" for the mellowing and refining of
liquor.^. From time to time attempts have been made to hasten
results by an artificial process, but all such have proved either
too expensive or were found to abstract important properties.
The Cushing process, however, claims to do its work without
detriment to the quality or flavor of the liquor. The company
does not manufacture liquors; its sole business is to purify them.
Heat and air are the factors employed in the process, the work-
ings of which, in miniature, are exhibited in the window of the
New York store, and as described by Dr. Cushing, are as follows:
" First, the air is washed and purified by Tyndall's well-
known method, which destroys animal and vegetable impurities.
It is then moderately heated and is forced by a steam air pump,
through perforated pipes, into a large tank. It enters the liquor
in minute streams, which permeate every portion and create a
violent agitation. The air thoroughly oxidizes the fusel oil and
at the same time volatilizes and expels into the open air the
light, poisonous ethers, leaving the liquor.s perfectly pure and
free from the aldehydes which produce headache, stupify and
destroy the brain tissues." ,
The liquors treated by tliis company ara obtained from the
United States bonded warehouses.

it Into spirit by means of a primitive little still which most of them
pawwwiMHl. Thorn who were without a still, Iwirrowed their neigh-
bors*. When thi-y want4><I money, they clap]H-d on their Sunday
blouse, put a i-ask of bnindy on a truck, and went off to nmrket
to nit^t the brokent of the greait blending Hous(>s. But thcBO
good people were elthw grwsly or fiwiish. They exliauste<l the
hUMl yearftfter year, and n-turne<l nothing to it. And so when
thi' fihylloxern came, the vines suc<-umlM>4l at once. After the la«t

ucr.'. Ihit so (lishearteiKHl were the peasants, that comparatively
little progress wsis made till 1K88, when something happened to
ivvivc th.ir hope. In (.ne si>ot near Cognac, a few withertnl vines
had Ihhii allowe<l to n-nuiin in the ground. In "that year— the
year of a splenilid vintage, it will Ixi reuieml)ered— thest; planta
nturned. a.- it were. unexfKK-tedly to life. The phenomenon
s4M'me«l of g<sMl augury, and since then, the replanting haspro-
c.-<-d.Hl Silt isfactorily. .Nor is it likely, after their piwt exis-ri-
en<-.-. tliat thes*' chess-l)oard agriculturists will agsiin so nt^lect
their pat.lic.x as to render their vines an e^asy prey to the first
mis<-hievous grub that comes strolling along.
Indeed, it would seem that after years of vicissitude, and
.•vcn threatened extinction, brandy is gaining ground all alon-;
the line; for simulta:i:>ously with the revival in supply and quali-
ty which enabk's it to silence traducers, then' has been an increase
in c->usumi»tion. The whirlgig of time brings aljout strange n-
vengcK. and good old brandy, the universal medicine of our griind-
niothers. is at last emerging from the cloud. 'Brandy and .Salt"
was an elixir of life within the memory of people not particularly
ohl — not older than gentlemen may confess to be; and a good gla>
of brandy-and-water was once the favoritj beverage of Philistin
fiction, from Mr. Pickwick to the late Lord Lytton's philosophic
rogue, who ssiid there was no earthly trouble it would not teniiw-
rarily alleviate. The craze of fashion — medical fashion particu-
larly— ."xalts this stimulant and depresses that, according to it-
whim; and the swing of the pendulum denotes that brandy is ju>i
now on the upwarn turn. Fortunate are they who {ws-sess that
rarity, a decent cellar of it; and next to the.se, fortunate are those
who. having confidence in their merchant, can seize the present
oi)pi)rtunity of purchasing and laying down with confidence what
will undoubtedly 'earn its money,' and much more, during the
years immediately before us."
THE THI-RB STAMP SCHEME.
The Kentucky distillers who produce the fine hand made
whiskies are discussing the third stamp idea but up to the present
tlu'v have not agreed upon any definite plan of action. The plan
is for the producers of su<th whiskies to adopt a thinl stamp for their
goods so as to distinguish them from the flood of cheap early
maturing whiskies which aree<iually entitled to the double stamp.
Should this have been carrietl into effect there would have Ikhmi
three instesid of two classes, the single stamp whiskies beinj;
blended or compounded, the double stamp Ix^ing the quick matin
ing goods and the triple stamp whiskies rei)rescuting the ohl
fiushioncd hand made, sweet or sour ma^ih whiskies which an
suitable for agi'ing.
It is a matter of regret that the distillers did not com& to an \
.igret'ment at their recent meeting in Louisville when the mattc'i-
was discus.sed. The objwtion wa.s that were there to l)e a third
stamj) it might guarantee that all whiskies produced in the
manner specified would be of iniual merit. However as the
distillers are to meet monthly there may yet be a way of over- j
coming this objwtion. The thinl stamp would effectually prevent
the sjile of cheap goods as "fine Kentucky whiskies", and would
«U» away with some of the c<nniH>titioii to which the distillers by
the old proc-esses are subjecttnl.
Thest' goods, which we are selling largely to wine and cha
pagne.manufactun'rs throughout the country, are jH'rfectly
from the smallest sjK'ck of dirt or dust, and are iK'autiftilly tr
]iarent. They are not like the sugary stuff sometimes .sold
rock candy.
In ten loirrel lots, we sell the crystals at a slight advance
the<-ost of refined sugar. Sampleson applicjitioii.

Amendment of Warehovsing Bond.
Tbkascbv Department, January 19, 1891.
To Collrrtori nml other Offirrrf of the Chutottu:
In I>epiutment circular No. 53 of 1890 it was decided "that
s.rt ion 20 of the new law (act of June 10, 1890) pennite the
retcutioii of merchandise in Inrndeil warehouses for more than one
vear, and not more than three years, from date of imimrtation,
without the imjMwition of the additional duty often per centum
vidi-il by section 2970, Bevised Statutes, upon its withdrawal for
consumption."'
In a<-(!ordance with the alwve decision, the clause "with ten
|M'r centum addtMl up<m the amount," should be stricken from
the (-(uulitiou in the "warehousing l>ond'" as it api)ear8 in Form
137, General Customs^Catalogue No. 704, and New York Customs
Catalogue No. 697. A. B. Nettleton, Acting Secretarj-.
KxTKv OF Goods Valued at Less than $100.
Treasury Department, January 3, 1891.
Sir: The Department is in receipt of your letter of the 10th
ultimo, transmitting the application of Messrs. S. L. Jones & Co.
for a cliange in the practice now prevailing at your port concern-
ing the entry of importe<l merchandise without consular invoic-es
value<l at less than 8100.
It appears that when satisfied that the claim is valid, and
that the importation was not purposely broken up into small val-
ues to eva<lc the requirement of the statute, you allow entry to lie
made by appraisemuut, while the applicants claim the privilege of
making such entries by pro forma invoices in the same maimer as
is now custonmry at the port of New York and elsewhere.
Upon investigating the matter, the Department is of the opin-
ion that while it is right that you should exercjse all projH'r dis-
cretion under the provisions of section 4 of the act of June 10,
IHHO, in such matters, yet that no objection exists to allowing en-
try of merchandise where the value is $100 or leas on uncertified
invoices, and without exacting bond for the subsetjuent production
of consular invoices, provided that the importer comi)lit-s with
the conditions of such section in the manner indicat<Hl in the
blank affidavit herewith inclosed.
The collector's action must, of cxjurse, be dependent upon the
conditions and circumstiinces developed in each case.
This practice which prevails at the port of New York and
elsewhere, is believed to be the safest and best course to pur-
sue in order to insure the proj)er collection of the revenue on
such importations. Y'ou will be governetl accordingly.
Respectftdly yours,
O. L. Spaui.dixo, Assistiint Secretary.
Collector of Customs, San Francisco, Cal.
^7*'HE custom of "toasting" our favorites, appears to have had
^ its rist^ in the reign of Charles II. Dr. Johnson observes
that the meaning of the word at its first ust> was " a celebrated
woman whose health is often drunk;" and the reason of her In-ing
BO ternuHl may be found in the "Tatler," which says: — "It haj -
pt'ued that on a public day a celebrated Ixaxuty of the these tinn -
(King Charles II.) was in the Cross Bjith, at Bath, and one of tin
crowd of her a<lmirers took a glass of the water in which the fair
one sto(Ml, and drank her health to the company. There was in
the pliuH-, a giiy young fellow half-fuddliHl. who offered to juni|>
in, and swore, though he liked not the liiiuor, he would have tin-
toast. He was opjwstHl in his r»>s<)lution, yet this wliiin g-.r
foundation to the present honor which is done to the lady w
mention in our li(iuor, who has ever since been called a 'toast."

Til a iv(!ont article ivfjanlins I-'r)e Turk of Santa Rosa, the
I>()uisvillo Wine and ,Spirlf Bulletin says:
Mr. Do Turk dates his exporienco as a gi-ower from the feehlo
befrinuing of the pr()(luctioii, down tiirongli tlio dark and profitless
years of exjK'rinient, stL-niniiugtlie tide of prejudice and opposition,
until to-day he stands on the apex (Sf success and views with satis-
factory pride the grand results of his own and confreres' years of
labor.
His wines have always been sent out under true colors,
labeled '-Califoi-nia Wines," and tlie enviable reputation they
have attained wlierever introduced speaks volumes for their
l)urity and general excellence.
California owes much to such men as Mr. I)e Turk, who at a
sacrifice of priceless years of life and private fortunes have com-
pelled attention and admiration from people of every clime for
the golden dew and purple tear.s, crushed from the oldest of the
world's known fruits, nurtured on the sunny hillsides of California.
Mr. Do Turk is an extensive shippar of wines to this market
and has established in Chicago a central de]K)t where the wines
are received from his vineyard, clarified, racked and re-shipped to
his many customers throughout the East.
This depot is controlled exclusively by the well-known house
of Delafteld, MctJovern & (;o., in whoso spacious cellar Mr. De
Turk's wines are rested and where all the bottling is done for
the trade east of the Rocky monntains. In thus placing his
wines in the care of a reliabl,e house, Mr. Do Turk feels assured
that his interests are ably and faithfully represented.
THE CHICAGO CAFE.
On the 5th. inst. the final mooting of the merchants and
producers who aro identified with the plan to establish a Viti-
cultural Cafe in Chicago, was held at the Viticultural Commission.
Nearly all of the parties who are going to have their wines on
sale at Messrs Franckx & Ruhlemann's Chicago estiiblishment were
at the meeting.
The final arrangement between the wine men and Franckx
& Ruhlemann were concluded. On the Gth. Mr. Franckx took
a run up to St. Helena where he was entertained by Tiburcio
Parrott and others, and on the 7th. he left for Chicago.
By this time Mr. Franckx has arrived in Chicago and the
active work of establishing the Cafe has now begun.
Mr. Franckx should make a great hit with his place in Chicago.
Ho is an indefivtigable worker and will push the place prominent-
ly to the fore. Mr. Ruhlemann, who is not a whit loss capable,

The Chicago trade will find Mr. Franckx's place well worth
visiting once it is established.
A WINE DEALER of Odcssa has conceived the idea of manufac-
turing champagne out of Caucasian, Bessarabian and Crimean
grapes. He put himself into communication with manufiicturers
of that article in the Champagne district, and succeeded in interest-
ing in his nndertaking some of the wealthiest among them. A
careful trial was made of the Russian grapes, and it was found
that they would yield the finest qualities of champagne. Accord-
ingly a company of French wine producers has been formed, a
largo factory with all the necessary machinery for producing
and bottling champagne has boon built in Odessa, and experts
have been engaged. The whole outfit of the factory was import-
mI from France; and oven the first million of bottles wore
wdored from there. But if it will bo found that bottles strong
Jnough can bo made in Russia, a special glass factory will be
Juilt in Odessa to supply th(> roquiroments of the neiv company.
Cincinnati ^QtavtmQni.
[special corkkspondence.]
Cincinnati, O. February 24, 1891.
Being located in the principal wliisky market of the country,
and having had years of expt^rience in the trade, I desire to give
the readeis of your valued journal, a warning as to the situation
in this city and Kentucky.
In a previous letter, I said that business was somewhat back-
ward; this is still the condition of trade. Nevertheless prices
have not receded, but on tho contrary they have strengthened
somewhat.
Tho older have almost all gone into consumption, and the
time for the withdrawals of the '888 still in bond has arrived.
They will all bo withdrawn during the next three months, leaving
the trade dependent on the '8!)s and '90s. As time goes along,
these goads are bound to advance in price, and holders of them
have every reason to bo confident over the situation.
As for the '91 crop, it is only right to say that great uneasi-
ness is felt. Buyers are not as numerous as the distillers would
like to see, and it is undeniable that the crop is to a largo extent
left on the distillers' hands. The distillers have two obstacles
confronting them; one the high price of grain, and tho other tho
reluctance of purchasers to invest. Consequently a reduction of
the crop is to be anticipated and it would not surprise me in view
of the recent dotormination of tho loading distillers to shorten
their output, to see a considerable reduction from last year's quan-
tity. Po.ssibly this reduction of Bourbons may amount to one-
half. This is the safest and most conservative plan and the fore-
most distillers are prompt to see it.
The prices of Eastern ryes are not so firm as they have
been. Still there is a fair movement in the different brands of
those goods.
The California wine trade is good. In the city of Cincinnati
tho demand is constantly improving.
R. Culbert of Culbert & Taylor, New York, stopped over here
a few days recently. He reports a fine trade.
Nicholas Oester, distiller of the Greendale Bourbon, Law-
renceburg, Ind., was in the city recently and reports having
pla33d S3veral nica lois of his goods of different ages.
George C. Buchanan, the prominent Louisville broker, was
one of our recent visitors. Old whiskies are his specialty, and
he has placed some lots of favorite brands.
Mr. M. Mihalovitch, of Mihalovitch, Fletcher & Co., fruit
brandy distillers, will leave New York next Monday for Europe,
and will bo gone for two months.
Mr. W. S. Hume, distiller of the celebrated W. S. Hume, paid
Cincinnati a short visit of one day, last week.
Mr. Lehman, representing I. De Turk of San Francisco, was
here and reported sales large in his line.
Mr. Fred Lyons of Louisville, was here representing the firm
of Weeks & Campbell. Fred is a hustler from wayback. Keep
it Up Freddie, we are with you.
Mr. Coblens was on change recently in the interest of the
Phillip Hamberger Co., Pittsburg. Mr. Coblens sold some large
lots of Eastern rye and bought several lots.
Mr. E. H. Taylor Jr., of the Old Taylor fame, calle<l la.st
week.
Mr. Charles Schubert, one of the largest wholosal(> dealers o(
Ft. Worth, Texas, was one of tho visitors on change last week,
Shaw.
We have just received a copy of the first issue of the Antl-
Prohibitionist, a monthly magazine, published at Mount Holly, N,
C. The subscription is fifty cents per year. It is well put to-
gether, and of a very convenient size. It will be devoted to the
interest of personal liberty and equal rights against all class
legislation. The editors state that it's columns will always he
o^jon to a full and honest discussion of any theory. We wish
our bright littl(> contemporary all success and prosperity.

Toi,Buo,.0., Jan. 10, 1867.
Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co*— Gentle-
men;— I have been in the general practict
of medicine for most forty years, and
would say that in all my practice and ex-
perience, have never seen a preparation
tliat I could prescribe with as much con-
fidence of success as I can Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by you. Have pre-
scribed it a great many limes and its effect
is wonderful, and would say in conclusion
that I have yet to find a case of Catarrh
that it would not cure, if they would take
it according to directions.
Yours truly,
L. L. GORSUCH, M. D.,
Office, 215 Summit St.
We will give $100 for any case of Car-
tarrh that cannot be cured with Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Taken internally.

BUSINESS SUCCESS.
If yon have a line of ^oods. or a Bpecialty, ])os<>esslnK quality and merit
IT PAYS TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW IT.
Every business man who consults his health and cuccess in business must eat
and not on!y eat reKularlv. but must eat such food as will be readily digested, with
lueh surroundings as will make his meal not only
A BUSINESS MATTER OF NECESSITY
but a pleasurable digression from business care.
When such a meal can be nl>talned at a trilling expense, and be productive of
haiipincss and renewed, if not lncrease<l energy, a business man Is foolisli Indeed to
not embrace the prosiiectlve i>pi>orlunlty.
Such a meal can be obtained, and tlie above described results attained by taklni'
a lunch with us, between the liours of 11 a. m. and 8:80 r. M. We aerre a six coui -
lunch for 50 cents.
In the evening we serve, from 4:80 to 8::)0 p. M.. an cigbt-coursc dinner for
75 cents
Besides our service a la carte receives prompt attention, and our rcslauranti
most eleganllr furnislie<l.
Referring' to our ex|wrlcnoc. both In llie Old and New World, as restauranteurs
with the fact that the cuisine and dining room Is under our direct and continua
*u|iei vision, we gimranlee the U'st satisfaction.
Being confident tliat wc can iiiease jou in the smallest particulars, we re»|ieol-
fully solicit your iwtronage.

THE MA-RKET.
California wines— Tliere is little change in the trade
^ situation, the spring business having only fairly opened,
ransactions between the merchants in the city, and the produc-
•s are many, and the prices which have been realized, while
irdly up to the ideas of the sellers, are better than was expected
>me time ago. Sweet wines are in fair demand. There is a
iarcity of Angelicas and Sherries, while Ports are in full supply
id are somewhat weaker under a poor demand.
Exports dul-ing the past fortnight were 88,927 gallons and 153
ses, of which 69,843 gallons and 10 cases went to New York,
sceipts from the interior during February aggregated 954,318
illons.
California brandies— The brandy situation continues
^ to be satisfactory to holders of goods. There have been ru-
ors afloat recently of the possibility of a combination among the
incipal holders for the purpose of putting up prices, but the
itter seems to be all talk at the present writing. It is not be-
ived that any combination is possible. Prices range from for-
-seven and a half to fifty cents for '90 brandies. Exports dur-
; the past fortnight have been very small. Receipts from the
terior during February were 44,795 gallons.
"f!>ENTUCKY WHISKIES— The spring trade is opening up
4 ' ^ very favorably for the best brands. The dealers are all
:i aiting the result of the movement of the distillers to decrease
tji production, with considerable interest. Every one looks for-
Vrd to a fine year's business.
Exports of whisky during the past fortnight amounted to
77 cases and 590 gallons, valued at $1389. Receipts of whisky
in the same period, by rail, were 729 barrels, and the receipts of
spirits in the same were 1,350 barrels.
^^YES. — There is little of interest to note in the market,
^ V The demand, as with the bourbons, is picking up. The
coming of several representatives of the best distilleries to intro-
duce in a more satisfactory manner their brands is the only event
worthy of note.
OUR SEeOMD BIHTHDAg.
The Review has now been under its present management
two years, having been purchased in March 1889.
Since that time it has made such a remarkable and in fact
unprecedented growth in circulation, size and position that the
facts concerning its developement may well be referred to on this
the second anniversary of its real existence.
In March, 1889, the journal was one of sixteen pages, with
little or no original reading matter and printed in the cheapest
possible manner. One year later it was greatly improved in ap-
pearance, and had had a healthy growth of eight pages, being
then a paper of twenty-four pages.
To-day we take pleasure in calling attention to its forty -six
pages of matter, interesting to the trade and producers; its varied
departments; its correspondence; its statistical tables, which are
the most complete of any class journal in America; and not the
least, the latest feature of giving illustrations which has never
yet been attempted by any trade paper with such care and artistic
attention to details.
The future of the Review is plainer and more definite now
than it was in March, 1889, when it languished as the San Fran-'
cuco Merchant. The outlook for the wine industry is brightef
than it was then, the liquor trade is in a better situation and gen-
eral business is in a more satisfactory condition. The growth of
the Review in the future can best be predicted by what it ha
been in the past.
The wholesale liquor dealers of the State of Minnesota ard
actively engaged in working up publiC sentiment in favor of a
modification of the high license law which was passed in 1887,
The present effort is to be especially directed towards the repeal
of the part of the law relating to cities of ten thousand inhabi-
tants or over. This would reduce the license fee in Minneapolis
and St. Paul from $1,000 to $500, and put these two cities on the
same plane as other Minnesota cities. It is understood tliat the
members of the Alliance party are not pledged to high license,
but favor the submission to the people of a prohibitory constitu-
tional amendment. The fortj'-two Democrats would doubtless
favor the repeal, and if enough Alliance men can be secured a
bill will be introduced in the Legislatui'e.
Mr. B. R. Kitteredge, of the Sanoma Wine and Brand}' Co.,
of New York, is on the Coast on his annual visit. He reports
that business prospects are excellent, and that the West wines
and brandies are going better tlian ever.

Youre Verj' Truly,
C A. Crampton, Cliemist,
Ofllce of Internal Eevenue, Washington, D. C, March 13, 1891.
Dr. Crampton has had no open and public oratorical set-to
with Pr«>f. Hilgard. it is true. Htill, Prof. Ililgard has done any
amount of indirect fighting at the gentleman and Dr. Crampton
lias r«'iM-at4><lly shown his ability to look after his own interests
in that sort of liattle.
And now comcH the funny part of the whole performance.
Hilgjinl angrily denies that he aiKdogi/.ed, and here is our letter
from Dr. ( rampton to the effect that he did. Hilgard has further
liackwl up his proposition with a communication to the Chronicle
which we rrprint for the Ix^aring it has on the case.
Tu Ihf Fjlitnr of the ChroiiieU — SiK: In correction of the mis-
Htatements ma<le in the telegrams sent from Washington con-
M-ming the n'Hulti< of the invt>Htigation on the alcohol determina-
tion ill swwt win»w. I state tliat so far as the practical outcome for
the winemaker is concerne<l the caw stands precisely as at lii-st
Mated, the discre|>aiicies arising from the (Jovcrnment methml,
Muhown in the public n-<-onl. iM'ing so great as to render the
raultH utterly untrustworthy and mischievous. The only change
mnilting from the t.-sts is the shifting of the resiwiisibility from
the (Soveniineiit tables niMHi the inethwl its«-lf, and this is tlio
onir retnwtion made in my letter t<» the commissioner. It is
difficult to conceive on what tenable ground the chemiail experts
of the de|mrtnient eouhl n-cominend so grossly inaccmmte a pro-
tcm for the estimation of s«i highly taxwl a sulwtanc-e as spirits,
for every gallon of which the (Jovenimeiit t-xacts an account
from the distiller. How the latl«'r could iK>sMibly s«|uare his ac-
oountit under the showing nia«l<' by the sa<-chaiomet«'r inctluMl in-
volving differeDoai ranging froin nothing to one-fifth of the
whole, is not Rtated in the telegrams, but the Commissioners ex-
premed intention of dis<-ardiiig it for the one n-eommended by
me provm that a comprelieuiiioa of tlie question liasdawn<sl uiKm
the fiowcrH that l>o.
1'. W. HlliAKI).
Vp to the pnwent time Dr. Crampton has decid.Hlly the
better of the situation and we do not blame liiin for Iniiig annoyed
and h irt at Hilganl iuti(m— it was <mly natunil that he should
be, not knowing Hilganls as well as he is known hen-. In Cali-
fornia where Hilgiird's '•i)Osition and reputation as a scientific
nuin" arc tN-tt<'r understowl, it is generally the custom to ignore
th.' .'^agc of Berkeley alt«igether. This is the policy which haa
Ikcii found most desirable by the State Boartl of Horticulture,
the Hoard of State Viticultural Commissioners and other bodies
whose ctaiiding is above (luestion.
We fail to see bow Prof. Hilgard has "rendennl oflficicnt and
distiuguisluKl services to the wine growers of California." If Dr.
Cnimptfin inti'nde<l that as a balm to soothe the distinguished
Professor s ftn-lings. he will learn bt>tter next time. Hilgard is
not the kind whose hurts are assuaged in that manner. We in
California, are more qualified to speak of Hilgards services and
results. He has succeeded in involving the producers in a use-
less row with the Department ami has fostered the idea in Wash-
ington that he represents somebody, when as a matter of fact no
man is more cordially disliked and ignored by the Ixist wine makers
of the State. Otherwise his sole achievement during the past
few years has been to advocate the Pasteurization of all wines
lx>fore shipment. We all know what this is worth, if Dr.
Crampton does not.
As to Dr. Crampton 's remarks concerning disrespectful treat-
ment of Hilgsird. we have only to say that Hilgard brought it on
himself. His passion for public notoriety — for newspaper no-
toriety— surpasses belief to those who do not know him. He
will go entirely out of his way and out of his province at any
time and place, to get a paragraph or two in the papers exalting
himself. He hindered and delayed the settlement of the sweet
wine qu««tion, and needlessly exasperated the Internal Revenue
Department until we concluded that the time had come to give
him notoriety of a kind he did not crave. We have assurances
of the hearty support of our present course from the principal
sweet wine makers of the State and while we appreciate the
magnanimous spirit of Dr. Crampton toward one whom he has
so completely used up, we feel compelled to say-that the tliorough
beating which Hilgard has received was richly earned. — Ed.

OUK P-ROTECTIVE ASSOCIATIO/N.
In republishing one of our recent articles on the State Pro-
tective Association, Mida'* Criterion says:
It appears they have a State Protective Association in Cali-
fornia which, according to the Pacific Wine and Spikit Review,
seems to be so named because it does not "protect." If so, it ap'
pears to be like its prototype, the National Protective Associa-
tion, which seems to be in a comatose condition, and allowed to
die out of sheer lack of energj'.
We do not know so much about the National Protective As-
sociation as does our friend of the Criterion, but if it is anything
like our State Association it needs galvanizing into life. The
California Association permittt'd the present Legislature to slip by
without so much as turning a hand to settle the trouble over the
license and local option issues. This was pre-eminently the -
Ix'gislature to get such a measure through; it could have betMi ,
passed had one active man gone to the Capital and done hisj
duty.
We must confess we do not see what the Assoi*iation lead< i
have been thinking of to have allowed the matter to lapse througli
inaction: probably it was because everybotly's business is no-,
lH>dy's business.

[regular correspondence]
Various causes have arisen of late wliich produced a rather
dull market. Tlie stringency of the money market, the general
dullness of business throughout* the country together with unfa-
vorable spring weather, causing bad roadSj and the unchecked pro-
duction of '9l8 are no doubt the causes of the present dullness.
Nineties have gone somewhat backward in value; '898 are
not as firm as they were and '88s are at a stand-still. However
we must expect at this season of the year, just at the beginning
of Spring, a retrograde movement, and when Spring is fairly upon
us, we have no doubt the uneasiness of values will have passed
away and better prices will be maintained, especially for older
goods.
The trade has been.complaining of slow collections in tlii j sec-
tion and business is not as brisk as they anticipated, which nat-
urally produces an inactivity in the market.
In what we have said as to the cause of this drop in the val-
ue of whiskies, we have spoken plainly and put the responsibility
where it belortgs — on the distillers who are running when they
should not ruu, thereby depreciating the values of goods made
previous to this time.
The united action of the distillers of Keutucky and Pennsyl-
vania, as well as the trade, should be taken towards making but
a half crop of goods, in place of making an unlimited quantity as
they are doing at present.
Mr. George Dieterly, Secretary of the Union Distilling Co.,
has bought Mr. H. H. Lipelman's interest in the firm.
Mr. Charles Robert, of "Rolling Fork" fame, called on
the trade this last week.
Mr. H. Hahn, of L. Sonenschem & Co., wholesale dealers of
Chicago was introduced on change the last fortnight.
Mr. Victor E. Tagliaferro, who represents the American
Champagne Company of California and New York, was seen at
the Gibson House and said he succeeded in placing in one whole-
sale house in this city three hundred cases of his brand, "Reihlen
Extra Dry."
Mr. Culbert, of Culbert & Taylor, importers, New York,
spent a week with us. So from the stay he made, Cincinnati
business must have been good.
J. T. Megibben Jr., of the T. J. Megibben Co., called. He
tells the trade his firm will only make a small crop of '91s and
has placed nearly all of it.
Mr. Joseph Wolf, broker, of Chicago, was on change this
week and was very successful in placing several lots of whiskies.
Mr. Harry Traub, known on the road as "The Adonis," and
Eastern representative of J. & A. Freiberg, returned home after
an absence of six weeks. He says trade is not very brisk but he
got his share of business.
Mr. John Horn has charge of the Cincinnati office of the
Louisville Bulletin and will welcome all callers.
Mr. Bullitt, of Bullitt & Gilmore, brokers, Louisville, was
with us last week.
Duke (George) Washburn, of the Wine and Spirit Bulletin,
has opened an office at 113 Sycamore street. So far nothing but
hydrant water is the beverage offered to callers.
Mr. Louis Poock has been confined to his home with La
Grippe, but Lou has not lost his grip on the trade and has sold
several good sized lots of "Mattingly" and "Honeymoon."

Cmomnati, March 21, 1891.
A CHA/NCE FOn "OLD KgE."
The announcement that Messrs. H. H. Livingston, of the
Thompson Distillery Company, Clarence Hoffheimer, of Hoff-
heimer Bros., and Charles Jacobs, of the Sunnyside Company, are
all on the way to this Coiwt in the interest of the brands of rye
whisky which they handle, is one which promises very satisfac-
tory results for the future of the trade in ryes.
Up to the present time the Pacific Coast has not borne a very
high reputation as a market for ryes. The first whiskies which
were sold here were the compounded bourbons. An evolution is
going on in the trade which is resulting in the displacement of
these goods by blended whiskies, and straight whiskies are daily
finding new friends.
The leading merchants such as A. P. Hotaling & Co.,
Moore, Hunt & Co., Naber, Alfs & Brune, Siebe Bros. & Plage-
mann,^ Carroll & Carroll and others have had fine success with
the best class of goods, the last named firm however, inclining to
straight whiskies more than the others. It is believed by many
of the merchants that were the best ryes properly introduced
and pushed, they would make theu- own friends exactly as the
best bourbons have done.
The fact of the matter is that consumers in this western half
of the continent have not had nearly the chance to learn to like
and call for a fine rye, as have the eastern consumers. The
standard bourbon brands are known but the consumer does not
know the ryes.
This is a state of affairs which the rye distillers propose to
revolutionize. They understand full well that from Denver to
San Francisco and from Seattle to San Diego, there is a splendid
field for these goods, now scarcely occupied at all. It is safe to
say that in all that vast expanse of territory — and it is a territory
which is fully capable of absorbing in a ratio greatly in excess of
the per capita consumption of the United States — not to exceed
one barrel out of every forty sold, is rye whisky. Compare that
with the records of Pennsylvania, Maryland and all the older
States, and the rye distillers will see what enormous possibilities
are before them.
HIGH LieE/NCE BEATE/N.
High license has been smashed in San Jose by a vote of fivfl
to three in the City Council. The fight will have to be made
all over again as the license people announce that they wilF make
license an issue at the next election.
We are not a little amused at the declaration of the San Jose
Herald to the effect that the people of San Jose will rise in their
might and "wipe the liquor traffic out of existence" unless its own
particular cure-all is applied in the place. The idea of Prohibi-
tion, which don't prohibit — in a city in Northern California — is
in itself a jest. It will not do, even if our friend of the Herald
thinks that it will. The people ot San Jose are not of the hide--
bound sort — ^not at all.

The high standard of excellence that oiu- goods have at-
tained is due entirely to the patient, assiduous and unremitting
care of the constant perfecting of our line exclusively for the
wholesale trade, together with the most scrupulous attention to
the endless details connected with the manufacture of high grade
liquors. None but the most skillful and careful scientific people
are employed, the result being that each and every article wo
manufacture, when completed, will bear the critical test of the
most exacting.

SktUb No. 2. Isaac D« Turk of Santa Rosa.
Few. if any men among the California wine producers or
nicrf hanU. are better known to the trade eaat and west, than
Imuic I)e Turk, the subject of this sketch.
Mr. Do Turk ha« achieve<l in the few years that he has been
placing his win** on the market, under his own name, a most
enviable name, and has established a reputation second to none
for the ex<-»'llence of his gootls.
Mr. De Turk is a IV-nnsylvanian by birth but is descended
from an old French family. He was bom in Berks County in
IJCM and wh«Mi a m»-re l>oy his parents moved to Morgan County
ludiaua. l(K»ting alxnit thirty miles east of Indianapolis. From
the time he was Ave years old, until attaining years of manhood
he s|»ent his life" as <Ud all of the boys of the period, at-
tending the district school in the'day time and doing the farm
boy druilger}- mornings and evenings.
He started for Califtmiia in 1M.'>K and arriviil in the stat«
October l»Uh of that year. The first year of his residence was
*pent in traveling from one s«>ction to another l(K>king for a de-
idnible plaw to locat4'. Finally in I WJ he d*>cided upon So-
.noma county as his plac** of residena^ and bought a ranch
near Hanta Kosa. In \W2 he S4>t out twenty acres of
vineyard which was suliHe<|uently increas***! to thirty acres and
then to fifty. His first vintage aggnyated only 10,000 or 15,000
gallons. Iiut he wion entered the l)UHin<'SH more extensively and
U^gan buying grape* ftt>m his neiglilxtrs.
Year by year his business under (".ireful niiuingenu-nt, gradu-
ally aMwmed larger pro)>ortioiut. His will' aim in t lieM<> y(>ars of
experiment and hardest work waa to phmIuim' a iM-tter wine than
hifl neighbors* for at that time he had not liniiichefl out as exten-
idvely as now. In 1K78 the growing dcmnmlH <>f his trade made
it imperative for him t4> supplant his wiuerv* in tlie eiiunlrv with
a lai^ger one in Kantji Roita and a few years afterward another
one waa built at Cloverdale. It was not found wise however to
M r .he busim^s over too much territory and after a few years
;i:i tL ClovenJe winer,- w^ sold and the plant at.Santa Rosa
""' rMl"T^Lng«. came lat*r when the vineyard interest was at
•. ... four vears ago. The original vineyard m liennett
'C,.:;' whtl. wL Tt o^t in I8«2, was .>ld and a still larger one
i„ I^,H(;uilieos Valley was purchased.
Mr I)e Turks iM)sition in the wine industry is founde<l on
,he r.Mk of solid merit. His establishment is one w-hich leaves
„.„l,i„,, to Ik- desireil. Aside from the vineyard in the Los Gud-
ieos Valley which alone couUinsone hundred acres, he has one
.,f the n.ost complete wineries in the state at Santa Rosa, where
,he pnKlu.t of his own vineyanl is made up as well as a large
proportion of the grapes from the vineyards of the dujtrict. The
annual pnKluction of wine is not short of 300,000 gallons. There
is e.H)iH-rage for atout 600,000 gallons while the total capacity of
the vaults were all the room utilized, would be 1 ,000,000 gallons.
Mr I)e Turk is one of the firmest believers in the policy of
placing wines on the market in glass. He believes that the very
key note of success in the industry for all time to come is in
the cased goocls and repeatedly states that were he in a position
to do so, not one drop of his best wine would go out in bulk. His
motto for five years past, for which time he has been extensively
in the cased goods trade, has been the single word "Bottle."
His business connections are extensive and "De Turk's
Wine" in Chicago and New York is a synonym for excellence
and merit. He has an establisliment at 212 Sacramento street in
this city which is ably managed by Mr. C. M. Mann. In Cliicago
his agents are Delafield, McGovem & Co.; in New Orleans he is
represented by Graham & Boswew and his New York agency i>-
ably handled. His wines are known and esteemed wherever the
California product is sold in America.
Personally Mr. De Turk is a rather quiet, reserved man but
who is at the same time forcible and decisive in his speech
and action. Integrity and honesty are his cardinal virtues. To
those who have not the privilege of knowing him personally th<
merits of his wines into which he throws all his abilities, are the
best indications of his character. In his quiet circle at Santa
Rosa no man stands higher and none could stand higher in pub-
lic esteem.
Mr. De Turk has never married. Like most men who have
been successful in life, and still remain in business, he has his
outside hobby and with him it is horses. On the trotting
circuit in California he has achieved a remarkably good reputa-
tion and last season his winnings were very large. He is the
owner of the trotting stallion Silas Skinner, 2:19, and others of
less note. His stable at Santa Rosa near his winerj' is the wonder
of the county, not only for the fine stock which it contains, but
for its convenience and adaptability for its purpose. Altogether
there are about fifty high bred horses in his stables, many of
them being by the famous trotting stallion Anteeo, 2:16|, which
recently sold at auction for 85.5,000 and later at private sale for
$G0,0O0; and indtMid up to a short time ago Mr. De Turk was one
of the owners of that famous animal. Business can never be too
pressing for him to refrain from talking "horse" or condemning
the poor California roads which forbid fiist driving to the owners
of fine horses.
Mr. De Turk has never held but one public office — that of
Vitieultural Commissioner for tJie Sonoma District. Nomina-
tions to various positions have been oflfered him, but always in
vain. In 18«7 when Mr. Arpad Haraszthy retired from tlie Vit-
ieultural Commission and the Presidency of the body at the
same time, Mr. De Turk was made Vice-President of the Com-
mission, to succeed Mr. Charles A. Wetmore who ha<l In'on
elected President. In 1890, when Mr. Wetmore retire<l, Mr.
De Turk succeeded to the Presidency and still holds the office.

S. GLASER. Manager.
A WO-RTHy MOVEME/NT.
A Step WMcli Will Benefit Injporters and Domestic Wipe
Producers. •
The local importers, and to a less degree the California wine
men are taking considerable interest in the movement to have the
Internal Revenue Department assume the responsibility of protect-
ing consumers from the numerous frauds which are now perpe-
trated upon them, in the way of selling goods under false foreign
labels. The matter was first agitated by the New York "Wine
and Spirit Traders Society and protection was asked against the
successful counterfeits of many brands of champagne. Commis-
sioner Mason in reply notified the society that tlue persons who
use the words "From France," "From Germany," etc., etc., on
any domestic article, champagne or what not, could and would
be proceeded against under Section 3449, R. S., which reads:
"Whenever any person ships, transports, or removes any
spirituous or fermented liquors or wines, under any other than
the proper name or brand known to the trade as designating the
kind and quality of the contents of the casks or packages con-
taining the same, or causes such act to be done, he shall forfeit
said liquors or wines and casks or packages, and be subject to
pay a fine of five hundred dollars.
It is a satisfaction to know that the society in question pro-
poses to follow up the fraudulent dealers. The importers of San
Francisco are large contributors to the revenue of the Govern-
ment and it is equally to their interest to see that their brands
are protected. Should the Commissioner of Internal Revenue be
unable to proceed to the necessary lengths under the law now in
force, new legislation should be secured which will cover all
possible cases. This is a duty which the importers owe to them-
selves and to the public.
The extent to which this fraudulent traffic under false labels
is carried on in this country is beyond belief. Take the case of
wines alone. Many houses in New York offer to sell bottled
wines without labels for $2.25 per dozen and the goods, once in
the hands of jobbers are labeled to suit. In every large city are
establishments where "skeletons" can be had. For instance we
select at random the catalogue of the "Chicago Specialty Box
Company" 226 and 228 East Kinzie street, Chicago, and among
the offerings we find are those of "skeletons." Under the title
of "Brandy Skeletons" the following information is given, which
we give free of cost to the Company.
"Brandy Skeletons — Contain Twelve Imported French Cog-
nac Bottles, Branded Corks, Stamped Caps, Imported Labels,
Tissue Paper, Straw Covers. Boxes neatly-printed or branded.
We carry every imaginable brand in this line. If desired we
furnish Bottle Wires at a small additional cost, and also put up
this skeleton in pints !"
Accompanying the announcement is a cut of a sample case
bearing the brand "Latour et fils. Cognac."
Admirable plan !
Under the Caption "Claret Skeletons" is this inscription —
"Contain Twelve Imported French Claret Bottles, Fine Imported
Caps and Labels, Corks, Tissue Paper, Straw Covers, and Boxes
neatly-printed or branded, and if desired, chestnut straps are
furnished free of any extra charge." The case accompanying
bears the stock inscription "Pontet Canet" and the name of Jules
Hegis & Co., Bordeaux.
Under the caption of "Rhine Wine Skeletons" is a full de-
scription of a similar outfit and a case bearing the inscription of
"Niersteiner."
Now does any one doubt for one instant what these "skele-
tons are used for. We admit that some imported wines are
brought to this country in bulk, but the relative quantity is small
considering that only one gallon in ten drunk in the United States is
imported wine. There cannot be the slightest question but that
these skeletons have their greatest use in concealing the identity
of California wines. This is not a new story, either. In fact it
is a very, very old one.
The counterfeiting of labels and the sale of wine under false
labels is not by any means a rarity even in this blessed State.
It is only recently that the defunct firm of Bamberger & Kaempfer
was worsted for counterfeiting the Martell Brandy label. Only
a week ago the writer saw another clever imitation of the Mar-
tell label displayed in the window of a small house. The label
bore the name of a fictitious house in "Cognac" and stupidly
enough had a small imprint of a local printing establishment at-
tached. Time and again we see bungling imitations. In the
window of one of the most prominent restaurants over in Oak-
land there are displayed various bottles of wine. Among the
others are several quart and pint Bhine wine boUles hearing flaring
labels "Haiit Sauterne, Bordeaux !" Just imagine offending a
Frenchman's taste and sense of national honor by professing to
have a Sauterne in a Rhine wine bottle. Labels such as "Pontet
Canet," "St. Julien," "St. Estephe," "Chateau La Tour," etc.,
etc., are numerous, all being on cheap American bottles.
It is to be hoped that the Internal Revenue Department will
take hold of this matter in earnest. The importers will gain
immensely in their business if this is done and the interests of
the California wine and brandy men will at the same time be
greatly aided.

Toledo, O., Jan. 10. 1887.
Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co. — Gentlemen- I have been in the general practice
of medicine for most forty years, and would say that in all my practice and ex-
perience, have never seen a preparation that I could prescribe with as much con-
fidence of success as I can Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by you. Have
prescribed it a great many times aud its effect is wonderful, and would say in
conclusion that I have yet to find a case of Catarrh that it would not cure, if they
would take it according" to directions. Yours trulv,

Ki>!l> & Denhanl are having remarkable success in introduc-
ing the •• Nonpareil " whisky. It is making headway against the
iM-st t-stabilslied of the older brands. The detnand for the whis-
ky is not only due to the fact that it is produced by one of the
iM-st ilistilh-ries of Kentucky, but e<iually as well to the energy with
which it is p\ished liy the young men of the firm.
"Davy (Vocketf — frontiersman and judge of goo<l whisky.
That wiw long ago; now it is "Davy Crockett" — fine old whisky.
The well-known firm of lley, Grauerholz & Co. which handles
this well-known brand, is having a fine spring trade. The whis-
ky comes dir.^ct from the old Blue Grass region, and Messrs. Hey,
(}rauerholz & Co. are meeting with a fine demand for it.
Mr. II. W. Mclntyre, of Vina, Cal., on his way from the
Ejist made a visit of a couple of days in this city, establishing
busini»ss ccmnections which we have no doubt will prove remun-
erative and will tend largely to popularize the excellent cla.ss of
goods which his house offers, and at the same time extend the
reputation of California's best products. — Midd't Criterion.
The Southern Pacific Company has reduced the cjirload rate
on wine from St. Helena to San Francisco from $26.00 to $2.3.50
l>er carload. This was done on account of a disparity of rate
from St. Helena and from Bello. But the rates from St. Helena,
Bello and Rutherford are still unequal when distance is consid-
eretl and another attempt is to be made to secure an equalization.
The receipts of brandy from the interior have lately been
very heavy and the bonded warehouse men are consequently in
good humor. Messrs. Bode & Haslett are doing particularly well.
Their facilities for storage are appreciated by the leading pro-
ducers; their rates are low and the brandy which leaves their
warehouse can be relied upon as having been stored to the best
advantage for improvement. The firm is deservedly successful
and popular.
H. Brunhild & Co. are making a big hole in the Pacific Coast
trade with their lino of imported goods. The local agent of this
well-known New York house, is S. Ghiser who has an office at
414 Front street. The firm is agent for Gebruder Eckel, Deides-
heim Rhine wines; H. Eckel & Co., champagne; J. Dupont & Co.,
Cognac: Riuz. .>[ata & Co., sherries; Blaukenheym & Nolet's gins;
Chr. Motz & Co., clarets and Sauternes; Archambeaud Frores,
cordials; and also import Ramsay Scoth whisky, Otard, Dupuy &
Co's. brandy, and a full line of port, sherries and other wines.
Through the kindness of Messrs. Grierson, Oldham &Co., of
London, .Mr. George (Carroll, of Carroll & Carroll, has been en-
abltnl to wnd the Vitienltural Commissioners a case of the best
Port for exaininati(m and tasting. It will be remembered that
when Mr. Oldham was in California he criticizctl our Ports,
Sherries and other fortifitnl wines very freely indeed and sjiid
that he would take occsision to send out a case of Port which
might b<^ considered a sample of what sort of wine suited the
English taste. The wine is exciH'dingly dry and in all respects a
remarkable one.

could be accomplished only after years of unremitting attention
to business, giving their customers entire and perfect satisfaction.
— Mida's Criterion.
The most famous Madeira ever known was the " 1814 pipe."
It was fished up from the bottom of the Scheldt, a short distance
above Finishing, in 1814, having remained there since 1778 in a
ship which had been wrecked at the mouth of the river in that
year. It was sold by auction at Antwerp, the greatest portion of
it having been secured for Louis XVIII., who despatched an
agent with instructions to secure it regardless of expense. Sev-
eral dozen were presented to the French Consul at Antwerp,
which he sold to the Due de Raguse. In 1858 after the death of
the Duchess de Eaguse, four dozen remained in her cellars, and
they were sold for something over their weight in gold to Baron
Rothschild.
Mr. Swigert Taylor, the junior of the Old .Taylor Jr., has
recently paid a flying visit to Chicago, and put in solid work
where it would do most good. Of Swigert it may truly be said
that he is a hustler from away back, and he can do more work
aivl see more parties in one single day in Chicago than the great
majority of his seniors could do in a week. He Avas accompanied
on his tour by Mr. John Meagher, of Frankfort, who, although
not universally known as a dealer, has been handling whiskies
almost from boyhood, and is thoroughly conversant with all the
minute phases in that line. — ilida'g Criterion.
The following extract from a letter received during his re-
cent Western trip, by Mr. Barrett, of Barrett & Co., New York,
the well-known prune juice firm, from the home office, on Feb-
ruary 28th, speaks more eloquently of the steady increase of
their trade than any words that we can use :_ " With all our
modern improvements we have difficulty in keeping up with
orders. We have shipped this month more than double the
amount in February, 1890, and exactly five times as much as in
February, 1889, and we have orders on our books for as much as
we shipped in February, 1890, waiting for the opening of navi-
gation.
Among the firms devoted to the interest of pure California
wines, the Napa Valley Company stands firstamong the leaders for
the fine grades of goods they carry in stock. This firm originated
in St. Louis, and gradually grew to such proportions that they
ibund it indispensable for their Eastern trade to start also a
Ijranch house in California, whence they can readily distribute
their product. The company handles wine in cases and in bulk.
Devoting, however, their attention mainly to fine grades of
goods they make a specialty of case goods. Such firms as the
Napa Valley Wine Company are doing a grand work for the
popularization of California wines among the masses, for each case,
as it reaches the consumer or the medical faculty, carries with
it the conviction that for wholesomeness one need seek
no further, but should seek only the right firm to get it from.
For the best and most wholesome wine that may be required for a
beverage or stimulant we can confidently recommend the Napa
Valley Wine Company of San Francisco and St. Louis, to the
entire trade. — Mida's Criterion.

Without any intention to enlarge on the statistical situation
shown in the foregoing tables, we beg to direct the especial atten-
tion of the trade to the fact that, notwithstanding the unpreceden-
ted proportion of the crop of '89-'90, the output for the present sea-
son, to January 31st ultimo, as compared with the former, shows
an increase of some three hundred and odd thousand gallons.
This increased production is in the face of the extreme high
price of grain, which high price, it was argued at the beginning
of the season, would have the tendency to keep manufactur*} with-
in reasonable bounds, combative to which we took, in our Circu-
lar of August last, the following position, which the time seems
to have verified:
" One optimist says: 'But the com crop will prevent excesses.'
We think the indications are that the probable price of com will
figure little in the present crop. The crop of com, with an ordi-
narily favorable future, will be a good one — not the redundant one
of last year, but a good one. In Kentucky it is an unusually
good crop. The cry of short crop is as yet premature.
"The smaller crop will have more value, and will, for that
reason, be better cared for, and will go farther. The 'Wichita
Eagle' takes in and humorously illustrates our idea when it says:
"It took five bushels of corn to get into a circus in Kansas last
summer. This summer you can get into the main t«nt, stay to
the concert, go to the side show and get a picture of the Cfrcassian
beauty all for one bushel.'
With this attractive purchasing power, no corn will , be
burned in Kansas.
We have distillers in Kentucky and elsewhere, who will
manufacture at any price, and take any chances whatever, and
the encouragement extended them by the dealer, the past season,
measurably justifies them.
To-day grain is yet higher than was then anticipated, and is
daily advancing, and still overproduction continues unabated.
Your obedient servants,
E. H. Taylor Jr., & Sons,

(SWEET WI/NE MAKERS.
The Hweet Wine Maker .4 met on tin' IStli inst. to diHeuHH the
■itoation. Among thow imw^nt were Charle.H Kohler, Frank A.
Wewt, C. K. Kirl.y. H. W. (Val>l>. K. I'. Drexler, V. V. Roiwi,
Ilerman ('. K^itt-VA, V. Korln-I and otIierH.
Theai-tion of l*rof«"«iHor IlilKuni in |irf4-i|MtatingthediHeui«<ion
with the Internal Kevenne Dipartnient «iv«'r the merits of the
Kallerrm Htill and theHne<-harom*li'r. was wry fre^-ly eoniinent<>d
njMjn, and the Intent aM{>e<-tM <)f llie sitnation wen- stattni by
Charlw Kohler who hait jtiat rctumi-<| from his FJiHtern trij».
No definite action was taken in regard to the proposition to
send a man to Washington. It is generally understowl that the
('omuu.ssioner of Internal Revenue has been shown that his posi-
tion establishing a maximum of twenty-six and one-half per cent,
of sugar as what musts can legitimately contain, is untenable.
The common opinion was that the Commissioner must see the
injustice of establishing such a limit or any limit at all, in fact,
in view of the variations in sugar percentages which are obtained
from year to year.
BAMBE-RGE-R & KAEMPFER
FAILUKE.
The creditors of the defunct firm of Baml)erger & Kaempfer
are managing to make things pretty lively for those worthies.
During the past fortniglit, both partners were convicted on one
mis<lenieanor charge, and were fine<l $.500 apiece which waa
pnmijjtly pai<l. This shows that they are not without funds,
however nuicli is said to the contrary. Another mi.s<lcineanor
charge, the evidence being tlie same as the one on which they
were convicted, is hanging over them and will 1m> vigonmsly
pushed. The creditors regret that they cmilcj not make the
charge of grand larceny hold, but on this cOupt, tlie men have
Ix'en at-iiuitt^nl. • '
R«H'eiver Simcmson has been advised from New York of the
sale of the linn's wines there, amounting to about 700 barrels. Of

THE SA/N F-RA/MCISeO CAFE.
A Handson?e Establishrnept Where" Epicures '^Gongregate.— The New
Chicago
The accompanying illustration is a faithful reproduction of
the interior of the Viticultural Cafe on Pine street which is al-
ready well-known to San Francisco lovers of good living as one
of the most famous places in the city. The establishment needs
no description to the San E'rancisco trade, but its reputation has
not extended east, yet, on account of the short time which it has
been in existence. It is comfortable, cosy and everything that
the epicure demands can be had on application. As the sole
restaurant in San Francisco where California wines bottled by
Cafe" has been shortened by the short speaking San Franciscans
into "The Viticultural." As such it is known and visited by lovers
of the best living and who have pride enough to drink the native
wines.
The latest news from Mr. Franckx, who is now in Chicago, is
that he has leased commodious quarters at 294 Wabash avenue
just a few doors from the Auditorium, in the heart of the busi-
ness portion of the city, and in close proximity to leading hotels.
The location is only a few blocks removed from the wealthy resi-
dence portion of Michigan avenue.
Mr. Franckx expects to open the establishment about the Ist
of May and in all respects it will be equal to any restaurant in
the city.
The National Hotel Reporter of Chicago says the following
about Mr. Franckx 's plans: Mr. Franckx and Ruhlemann, pro-
Galifornia Viticultural Restaurant and Gafe, San Francisco, Gal.
the producers and the best merchants can be obtained, it has al-
ready achieved a wide local reputation.
The restaurant is owned by Messrs. Albert Franckx and Otto
Ruhlemann, who are two of the most capable caterers in the
West, Mr. Ruhlemann now has entire charge since Mr. Franckx
went East a few weeks ago to establish a similar cafe in Chicago.
The new place in Chicago will soon be running but it is
doubtful if, with all Mr. Franckx's love for the best features of
the high class restaurant, it will be any cosier or more popular
than the little room on Pine street where daily the best that the
market affords the best wines that the State produces are
dispensed.
The Viticultural Cafe is a feature of San Francisco life. The
cumbersome title of "California Viticultural Restaurant and
prietors of the California Viticultural Restaurant and Cafe, in San
Francisco, have leased the second floor of the building Nos. 294,
and 296 Wabash avenue, Chicago, and will fit it up in a manner
similar to their California establishment, and open for business
about May 15th. Mr. Albert Franckx, of the firm, is now in Clii-
cago making the necessary arrangements. The restaurant will ac-
commodate about one hundred and fifty persons. It will be elab-
orately decorated and appointed in first class manner. The wines
served will be all of California growth, bottled at the vineyards
under the supervision of Messrs. Franckx & Ruhlemann, and
be of the choicest quality. The restaurant will be kept open
from 8 a. m. to 1 a. m. The building in which it is to be located
will be enlarged next year by the addition of three stories, all of
which are to be devoted to the catering business.
The largest whisky blending operation that has ever taken
place in England was witnessed in Glasgow, The vat used is
said to be the largest of the kind in Great Britain, and is capable
of containing no fewer than twelve thousand gallons. In connec-
tion with the present blend it was filled to its utmost capacity,
the contents being made up of twenty-five different whiskies, all
of a first-class quality. In order to give some idea of the enor-
mous quantity of liquor contained in the vat, it may be stated
that in weight it represented about sixty tons. The blend is said to
have been a very fair specimen of what a Scotch whisky ought to be,
The jjer capjito consumption of spirits in this country is 1.37
gallons per annum. This is only seven drinks apiece every four
weeks, or supposing that one-half of the inhabitants never con-
sume any spirits, there will be left an average of three drinks and
a half a week apiece for the rest; that is, one every other day.
This seems pretty light for our climate. Our wine consumption
is about one quart /)er capita per annum, or about one-half of the
diurnal consumption of the Herault. In other words, our aver-
age wine drinking capacity is only 1-730 of that of the dwellers
in that happy land.

(Alifornia may Im- divid.-.! into tlire<. gra|M-growing districts :
The Coant. which inclu<h-s Sonoma. Uike. Najm, Alameda. Santa
Clara and Henta Cruz ccmnties ; the Siemi Neva<la FoothillH and
Bwramento Valley district, which inchuh-s Placer, El Dorado.
Calaveras. Tuolumne, Yuba, Yolo, Butte, Sacramento and

J..a.iuiii. M<r<-e«l. Fresno. Tulare, Kern, Ventura, Santa Barbara
.Siiii |l.riianlino, Ixjs Angeles and Ban Diego counties.
In th<- first district the finer grades of white and red dry
wintv arc made. The choice varieties of the French and German
t YIN'S w-cni to come nearer to reproducing themselves here than
cIm-wIhtc. In this district are successfully grown the finest var-
ieties (if I'rtiich champagne grapes, which yield a handsome pro-
Ht to the iiurchasers. There is one cellar in this district with a
capacity of S(M».(M)0 bottles, producing. champagne by natural fer-
mentJition in the lM)ttle. The champagne industry in California
is a growing one, and its future is bright with promise. While
wine is the leading viticultural product, fine table grapes are also
produced in this district.
Some gooil, wholesome dry wines are produced in the second
district, but they are of a different character from the German
types. GraiMjs for table use and raisins are extensively grown,
a large portion of the new plantings being for raisins.
In the Ssicramento and San Joaquin Valleys, and in the
southern district, some excellent dry wines are produced, but
these valleys excel in their Port, Muscatel, Angelica and other
heavy sweet wines.
For the purpose of this bulletin it is only necessary to treat
of the principal counties in each district where the heaviest viti-
cultunri products are found.
In Napa county, in the first district, there are 20,763 acres.
Phylloxera has destroyed many acres of vines in this county, but
the acreage has been kept up to about the same point by replant-
ing on resistant stock and the planting of new vineyards farther
up on the foothills, where a choice variety of grapes is grown and
phylloxera is not such a scourge. There are 142 wine cellars in
Napa, many of them of modern construction, containing all the
appliances for the raanufticture and handling of wines. There
were 3,000,000 gallons of wine made in this county in the census
year 1889.
Sonoma county, in this district, in 1889 had 21,683 acres of
bearing vineyards. The same conditions exist here relative to
the quality of grapes and wines produced as in Napa. The rav-
ages of phylloxera were felt in Sonoma at an earlier day than in
Napa, appearing about 1874, and a great many vineyards were
destroyed. It is now generally believed that the destruction
caused by the phylloxera can be stayed by growing the native
resistant stock and grafting upon that the foreign vinifera.
In Sonoma county in 1889 there were produced about
1,756,300 gallons of wine and 250,000 gallons of brandy. The
quality of the dry white wines was marked.
Santa Clara county, in this district, contains some 12,600
acres of bearing vineyards, and should enjoy a reputation for
fine white and red wines equal to Sonoma and Napa. This and
Santa Cruz county in 1889 produced 2,544,000 gallons of wine.
As yet the phylloxera has troubled the vineyards but little in
comparison with the counties before mentioned. There is said
to be a deep gravelly bed underlying this whole surface, in which
the growers say the phylloxera does not work with success.
AlanuHla county, in the first district, has 6,500 acres of
bearing vines, and produces a type of wine resembling the white
and red wines of France, and in this part of the district, known
as the " Livermore district," a high grade of Sauterne and claret
is produced. The geological formation of the valleys and slopes
of the Mount Diablo range more nearly repro<luce the soil condi-
tions that characterize the department of the Gironde in France
than any oth(>r sec-tion on the Coast. In this district there were
produced in 1SS9 some 6(K) ,000 gallons of wine, noted more for the
quality than for the quantity which it produces. This is com-
paratively a new w ine district, and has grown up within the last
di'icade. The first systematic planting of high grade grapes be-
gan in 1882.
There is in the second district a great viticultural interest,
embracing table grapes, raisins, swwt and dry wines, and
brandies, excelling in the latter. Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado,
Tehama, Yuba, Butte and Yolo counties proiluce large quantities
of table grajH's, an<l quit<^ a quantity of raisins is shipped from
wune of thest! counties. Tehanui has the largest vineyard in the
world, 3,800 acres, to which the manager says 1,000 aores of new
f/cGlfie WIJNE /rJMD Sflf^lT (REVIEW.

vines are to be added within a year. There was in the distillery
on this vineyard in April, 1<S!)0, when visited by the special agent
of the Censns office, 300,000 gallons of brandy and 1,000,000 gal-
lons of wine. Another large vineyUrd, the second largest in the
State, contains 1,500 acres, and is situated at Folsom, Sacramento
county. The winery belonging to the vineyard has a capacity of
(JOO.OOO gallons. Many table grapes are shipped from this vine-
yard to the eastern markets. The sales in this direction have
largely increased during the past two seasons.
Tlie third district is composed of San Joa^iuin, Merced,
Fresno, Tulare, Kern, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San
Bernardino, Orange and San Diego counties. Near Stockton, in
San Joaquin county, is located one of the largest vineyards and
wineries. Fine brandies are made in this district ; also sherries,
ports and some excellent clarets. Fresno county contains at this
time some 25,000 acres of bearing vines and 15,000 acres of new
plantings, the larger portion of which is grown for raisins.
Tliere are, however, a great many gallons of wine and brandj'
made in tliis county. The wines are mostly sweet, and of excel-
lent quality. The raisin pack in 1889 was 620,595 boxes ; the
wine produced, 1,200,000 gallons. The California "Wines and
Vines," speaking of the Muscatel de Gordo Blanco, the true rai-
sin grape, says : " The soil seems to impart a vigor to the vines
tliat is unknown elsewliere in the world. The second crop is
often very nearly equal to the lirst, and the third comes before
the leaves fall off." More than half the raisin grapes grown in
California are prodnc-ed in Fresno county.
San Bernardino county, in this district, is also principally
devoted to the growing of raisin grapes. There are 9,562 acres
of bearing and 4,125 acres of non-bearing vines, and the raisin
pack for 1889 amounted to 375,000 boxes. Two wineries in San
Bernardino county produced 279,000 gallons of wine in 1889.
Tliere were also shipped from tliis district 1,700 tons of table
grapes.
Los Angeles county has 18,120 acres of bearing vines. A
new and mysterious disease attacked the vines of the southern
portion of this district about 1885, and ruined more than one-
half of tlie acreage. Every effort has been made to discover the
cause and remedy the evil. The mo.st expert scientists have been
consulted by the State Board of Viticulture in California, and
the De[)artment of Agriculture appointed an expert to investigate
and report upon the matter. There were produced in 1889 in
Los Angeles county 25,820 tons or 51,640,000 pounds of grapes
foi- wine, and 1,(J00 tons or 2,000,000 pounds of grapes for table
purposes. The wines in this county are justly celebrated, and
were the first shipped from California to eastern markets. This
county excels in its sherries, ports and brandies. There were
20,000 boxes of raisins packed in 1889, the new disease having
reduced the product about one-half. The product of Orange, a
county lately formed from portions of Los Angeles county, is
included in the above figures.
In San Diego county there is an acreage of 6,000 bearing
and 7,500 non-bearing vines. Of the latter, 6,000 were just com-
ing into bearing in 1889, and did not add much to the product.
W'iiile this shows a fair increase in the growth of the industry
during the last four years, the increase is accounted for by the
fact that the new disease that was so injurious in Los Angeles,
did not affect San Diego county. It is in the El Cajon valley
of San Diego county that the most progress has been made in vit-
iculture. Tliere are 27,000 acres adapted to fruit growing, and
3,0!J0 of bearing raisin vinej^ards in El Cajon. The rasins from
this valley are among the finest produced in California. The
product of the El Cajon valley in 1889 was 75,000 boxes; in the
balance of San Diego county, the pack was 75,000 boxes; in all,
150,000 boxes. Another successful branch of viticulture in this
district, is tlie shipment of table grapes to the eastern market.
Many of the elevated localities are so free fi-om frost, that grapes
can be left on the vines until January.
As it has been noted in this bulletin that California has the
largest vineyard in the world, it may be well to state that she
tias also tlie smallest. It is a vineyard consisting of a single vine,
in Santa Barbara county. It was planted by a Mexican woman
about sixty-eight years ago, and has a diameter one foot from the
ground, of twelve inches, its brandies covering an area of 12,000
feet, and produces annually from 10,000 to 12,000 pounds of grapes
rf the Mission variety (many bunches weighing six and seven
pounds), the crop being generally made into wine. The old lady
who planted this one-vine vineyard died in 1865 at the age of 107.
Viticulture, already a great industry in the Pacific tlivision,
Momises to become still greater in the near future. -
ESTABLISH MOHE BRA/NDS.
The tendency of the principal producers and merchants
during the past three or four years ha« been toward the establish-
ment of distinct brands. We have encouraged it by every
possible means, believing that the future of the industry does
not rest so much in producing wines for bulk sale only, as in
the cased goods business.
It is a pleasure to note that the journals of the principal
wine producing valleys of the State are waking to the neoessititw
of the situation. In a recent article Editor Bartlett of the
Livermore Herald has the following to say on this point:
"Before Livermore wine makers began to bottle their products,
the only opportunity we had to determine it's quality was in the
competitive exhibitions at the annual conventions of wine-makers.
The public had no opportunity to judge of their quality, because
they were never sold under the Livermore Valley name. Bought
by wholesale dealers in bulk they were either used in blending, or
sold under general labels. We have been bottling but two or three
years, yet our four or five brands are known quite well in this State
and in many localities in the East, and several foreign countries.
Within a fortnight, we heard a number of professional gentlemen in
Oakland discussing the merits of "Wetmore's Claret, and Chauche's
and Smith's Sauternes," with an earnestness and directness of
favorable comment that showed that the vintage had in the
opinion of these connoisseurs, stepped into the front rank of
California wines. These wines are selling freely at many times
the price of bulk wines. True, they are of good quality, some being
from high type grapes, and of sufficient age. But the valley could
soon put on the market twenty other brands, nearly, if not quite
as good. This is the only way in which we shall ever secure a
great reputation, and high price for out wines. Bulk goods will
probably increase in value, to a considerable extent, but the
reputation of local districts is never made by their production.
And reputation only can make the vintage bring extra prices."
Eight and true every word of it. The fact of the matter is
that the truth is being recognized by the wholesale houses of
San Francisco as well as the producers. The cased goods houses
and those which sell solely in bulk are having their interests
divided more than ever before. Such houses as the Napa Valley
Wine Co., J. Gundlaoh & Co., Arpad Haraszthy & Co., F. A. Haber
and Beck, Pyhrr & Co., as well as others understand the value of a
brand just as fully as do such gentlemen as the JTeraWnames. We
like to see it too.
There is another grgLtifying feature of the cased goods trade
which we are pleased to note, though some of the pioneers do not
like it. Some man, Mr. A. for instance, goes figuring around
with a small lot of fine wine which he has nursed and cared for
like a baby. He thinks it ought to have a name and he casts
about for a price remunerative to him. Almost before his new
brand is launched, the other men who have a nice little lot are
after the same trick. In this way a heathy rivalry for the
name of having fine wines starts up and before any one under-
stand just how or why it is done some one steps to the front and
buys in a nice lot of really good wine from a producer unable to
hold it, and pays a price which seems fabulous in these latter
days.
The establishment of brands is par excellence the encourageing
feature of the wine trade. It is the beginning of that better time
when all the fair to fine wine will not be dumped into the same
cask with the poorest wine in the State.
Ten years ago no one knew much about the wine of this or
that valley let alone of the separate vineyards. Now we hear the
leading men discussing the merits of " Inglenook," "Napa Valley
Private Stock," " Rhinefarm," " Chauche," " Sehramsberger,"
" Cresta Blanca," " Haraszthy's Wines," " Olivina," " De Turk,"
" To-Kalon," " St. Hubert," " La Loma," " St. George," " Beck's
brands," etc., etc. It is a recognized fact that this, that or the
other vineyard produces distinctive wines and deserves distinc-
tive brands.
This is but the beginning. The end will be worked out with
time and will be greatly hastened by the establishment of other
cafes where wines are sold, similar to that in San Francisco and
the one .soon to be established ui Chicago.

DK.1K Hik:— I have read the letter from Mr. C. A. Crampton
which you have submitted to me. and wliich refers to the special
(|UitttioD of how high a (h-gree of sugar may be obtained in a nat-
ur»l must extracted from the grape without any artificial means
or anistaoce. other than that of the pressure in crushing.
I am sorry to say that I have never heard of any line of ex-
periments that would enable me to answer this question fully.
I know that I have seen grapes picked from the vines in a
condition of partial desiccation which would yield a must of at
leaxt liny {jer cent.— if not more— of sugar. I have frequently
•sen grapes in an apparently fresh and unshriveled condition,
•bowing as high as thirty-five jmt cent. In my own jmictice of
making certain gra<K>s of Sjiuternes, some of the grapiM not being
up to th.- rts|uir.Hl standard, I have ha«l them laid out on paper
for a few .lays, with the result of obtaining a must of thirty-seven
per eiMit. which- Hows very easily from the press. It has never
be«'ii my intenwt to a.HcerUin in any way how high a degree of
•wgar might Ik- obtaine<l. having Irh^h satisfied with wliat hiw
been acromplish.Ml.and not dwiring in my own experiments more
than thirty-five to thirty-seven jK-r wnt.
I have inten.l.Hl, h».wever, to attempt a reform in ordinary
meth-Jsof HW«.t wine making, and have imrtially succeeded in
winning over to my side s<Hne who will h.-r.-after p:irtially <lesic-
«te their gra|N-s inteiide.l for sw.H-t wines, in onler to iniprovo
thegeneml quality, and avoid the large degree of .listille<l spirits,

|.ri--i<rv.<l lor experimental piiri>OBe8 by Mr. Henry B. Wagon
of l.ivcruuire. lie has promised to give ine, under oath, the tr
liisiorv of" this experinu-nt. and to furnish a sample for the exai
iniition of llie Department. This. I will furnish to you a^ ho<
us I <au. In this cas«-. the strength of the must has a particul
.-.i;;nirnan(«'. and illustrates one of the necessities of the wine ina
ei-s wliicli should not In- overlooked by the Department. AVe hi
during the liist si-ason. a long sjK'n of dry weather during the vi
tage time, which enabknl the late ripening grape« to become ful
niatur«'<l; and even what is generally known as the "second crop
which ai)iH'ars usually only on certain varieties of vines such :
the Zinfamlel and a few others. Tliis second crop springs fro
lat<'n»Is grow ing from the main shoots, and is usually when picke
fit only for distillation, because it does not thoroughly ripen. ]
some localities where dry weather prevails in the fall, the secoi
crop, as in Livermore last year, runs high in sugar, but it com
at a time when cooperage in fermentation time, is generally 0
cupied, aud these late grapes are often lost or left for pigs to gat
ex.
Now, as it happened in Mr. Wagoner's case, he had a fe
loads of second croo Zinfandel come to his winery, and being u
prepared to ferment them, he laid them out on paper to dr
Being so late, however, it was impo-ssible to dry them sufficient]
for grocery uses as dried grapes; so, as soon as he wa« able to pr
vide the facilities, he took them up. The grapes, then shrivele
in appearance, were stemmed aud crushed as usual, and Mr. Wa^
ogner found that he had a must containing forty-two per cent,
sugiir according to the saccharometer. Now he might have U8(
this pure sweet must with great advantage by adding to any 1<
of sweet wine which he might have been making, and which niigl
have contained too low a degree of sugar. Such a practice is tl
one which I have been trying, and still am trying to haveadoptc
throughout the state, in order to perfect our methods of makin
this class of wines. But in this particular case, Mr. Wagont
preferred to make an experiment in preserving the must in tl
unfermentcd form, in order to ascertain whether it could Ik» don
should he desire to make unfermented wine for communion pu
poses or otherwise, with these late grapes. His process of prese;
vation was the simple and legitimate one known as mittage, whic
is accomplished by burning sulphur in the barrel, then filling ha
full of the must to be preserved, and rolling the barrels, until b
this and repeated processes of the same kind, the living ferments
tion germs are destroyed. I only mention this to explain how i
happens that at this tim3, this small lot of must is to be founc
At the same time that I last saw it, at Mr. Wagoner's winery,
slight fermentetion had taken place, which had reduce*! the sa<
charine strongth to about thirty-eight per cent. This will serve
however, to inform Mr. Crampton as to the practicability of ol
taining perfectly limpid musts with the degree of sugar as high a
forty per cent. In many districts, with certain kinds of gnipes,
am sjitisfied that a perfectly limpid must could be expressed wit
sugar as high as fifty per cent.
I know of no other practical illustration at present, tha
would be of any use to the Department, except in the case of som
pure juice of Sautorne grapes, which I have myself preserved will
the aid of sulphuring. I will furnish you a sample containini
about thirty-one per cent, of sugar, and you will be able to se
how entirely limpid a fluid it is. If required, I could jus
as easily have had forty per cent. I should say therefore, in re
ply to Mr. Crampton's inquiry, that a must may naturally hav
as high a degree of sugar as fifty per cent., and at the saiii
time tlu- jui(-o may bo easily expressed from the skin ant
pulp. I am inclined to think that the expression of tin- .juic
coOld Ix- cjirried on in the ordinary manner were the 111 u-i- ii
show a still higher siu-chariiie content.
If by way of exiwriment, sugar is added to the natural nm-f.^
which I will send, the strength can be increased to any de-

imount, and it will be poBsible to ascertain at what point the
fluid conditions necessary for expressing would become checked.
With respect to what shall be considered the maximum
imount of sugar for fregh grapes, as plucked from the vines with-
out desiccation, my previous remarks ought to show that it is whol-
ly a question of season and locality, and is also dependent on the
variety of vines cultivated and other conditions. For instance,
it was the practice at the vineyard of Mr. F. T. Eisen at Fresno,
for several years, to permit the Muscat grapes to remain on the
vines until they were ready to pack as raisins. Now it can be
readily seen that Mr. Eisen could have chosen any time he pleased
between the ordinarj' condition of maturity, and complete desic-
cation, for picking these grapes for wine making, and of course
he alone should be the sole judge of when they were ripe enough
for wine making purposes, in case he wanted them for that. I
have already stated that I have repeatedly seen grapes picked at
thirty-five per cent, and still looking fresh and unshriveled. The
only reason why we have not more record as to what is possible
in tliis line, is because it has been more to the interest of the pro-
ducer to get a large quantity of the juice rather than a smaller
quantity with a higher degree of sugar. Where men sell grapes
to wineries, there is always a conflict between the wine maker
and the grape grower, in case either brandy or sweet wine is de-
sired, the grower desiring to pick his grapes as early as possible
with the greatest weight, and the wine maker desiring more ma-
turity and less weight.
These remarks, I think, answer fully the inquiries contained
in the letter of the Chemist of the Department. I do not think
that the establishment of any limit of the saccharine content of
musts is possible, because of the different conditions which pre-
vail from year to year, and the changes which are made in the
practice, as demanded. As I said in a letter to Hon. I. De Turk,
the President of this Commission, sometime ago, I think that the
establishment of any artificial limit is not in the best interest of
the producer, the consumer or the Government, so long as the
conditions imposed by the Sweet Wine law are met.
Respectfully,
Chas. a. Wetmore, Chief Executive Viticultural Ofiicer.

M-R. HILGA-RD SUPPRESS ED.
Professor Ililgard has retired from his struggle with the In-
ternal Revenue Department uttarly worsted. . He has confessed
that all the trouble he rais?d over the alleged inaccuracy of the
Sweet Wine tables was unwarranted and premature, and very
properly he has left the field. Let us hope that he will remain
in retirement until the Sweet Wine troubles are settled, at least.
Professor Hilgard presents the sorry spectacle of a scientific
man who set a trap and then walked into it. He has "digged
his own pit" and stumbled into it. Will he please remain caged?
His advice and interference are not wanted or relished by the
Sweet AVine makers.
In the absolute defeat which has overtaken him, he strives
to explain matters by attributing his mistakes to an "assistant in
whom he had every confidence." We do not like to have to ex-
pose Professor Hilgard to further ignominy, but we are in a posi-
tion to assert and we do mo^t emphatically assert that he luas not
misled by any "asskfant" at all. The gentleman to whom he sub-
mitted his tables is a member of the faculty of the University
and is not conmected in any manner with the Hilgard outfit.
Had Hilgard beaten the Internal Revenue Department he would
have claimed all the credit — now that he has been beaten, the
other gentleman very promptly and decidedly refuses to be
dragged into the same ditch.

Dr. W. S. Manlove, one of the oldest, best-known and most
highly respected citizens of Sacramento county, died at his resi-
dence near Brighton at six o'clock on the morning of the 1 7th
inst. Four week ago he was attacked with pneumonia, which
was developed from a malignant form of la gi'ippe.
He was a native of Virginia, aged 67 years. He was one of
the first in this section to engage in grape culture, and about one
hundred acres of his vineyard were devoted to the finest varieties.
He also had one hundred acres in small fruit. He was an authority
on all subjects relating to fruit culture, and in 1887 was appointed
a member of the State Board of Viticulture, a position which he
filled with ability and credit. Sixteen years ago he was chair-
man of what was known as the Farmers' Aid Association, which
organization was merged into the "Patrons" or "Grangers"
movement. Dr. Manlove being first master of the new organiza-

BUSINESS SUCCESS.
If you have a line of goods, or a specialty, possessing quality and merit
IT PAYS TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW IT.
Every business man wlio consults his health and euocess in business must eat
and not only eat regularly, but must eat such food as will be readily digested, with
such surroundings as will make his meal not only
A BUSINESS MATTER OF NECESSITY
but K pleasurable digression from business care.
When such a meal can be obtained at a trilling expense, and be productive of
happiness and renewed, if not increased energy, a business man is foolish indeed to
not embrace the prospective opportunity.
Such a meal can be obtained, and the above described results attained by taking
a lunch with us, between the hours of 11 a. m. and 3:30 p. M. We serve a six course
lunch for 50 cents.
In the evening we serve, from 4:30 to 8:30 P. M., an eight-course dinner for
75 cents
Besides our service a la carte receives prompt attention, and our restauranti
most elegantly furnished.
Referring to our experience, botli in the Old and New World, as reetauranteurs

I am glad to be able to state, and truly too, that California

will have won the day completely. Of the several places I visit-

one gave me a discouraging n'jKirt. They all say that the call
for wine is increasing rapidly, Iwth for Iwir and family use. Itoth
featureii are certaiply encouraging, and one augments the other
to a certain extent. The call over the bar is almost exclusively
for white wine now. which goes to show that Chicagoans are be-
coming educatetl up to a full understanding of wine as a bever-
age. When they were first introdueeil everylMxly who was not
familiar with wine naturally <iille<l for Port, Sherry or Angelica,
»M-«-am«e thi-y were swwt and more pleasant to the taste. I am

[SPKCIAL CORRKSPONDENCE.]
Louisville, Maccli 20th 1891.
A inoetin<i; of distillers was held at the Gait Honse on the
3rd inst. Ainong those present were: Thos. H. Sherley, Jno. M.
Atherton, J. B. Wathen, Edward Rabbit, representing the Amer-
ican Distillinji; Company ; James S. Cunningham, representing
the Mattingly Distillery ; George T. Stagg, of the O. F. C. Distil-
lery; R. W. Slack, of the M. V. Monarch Company ; Charles
Lemmon, of the Old Times Distillery; Jnliiis Wanner and Thos.
S. Jones, of the Nelson County Distilling Company ; Tom Moore,
of the Tom Moore Distillery ; Charles Graves, of Jno. G. Roach
& Co. ; T. M. Gilmore and Max Halle, of 3fi(la\f Criterion.
As soon as the meeting was called to order Col. T. H. Sher-
ley was chosen as temporary Chairman, and Mr. Thomas M. Gil-
more as Secretary. Mr. Gilmore arose and recited the object in
\ icw in the meeting, which was called by a circular signed by E.
L. Miles & Co., J. G. Mattingly & Co., Belle of Nelson Company,
J. M. Atherton, Old Times Distillery, Nelson County Distillery
and H. McKenna.
A motion was put and carried to appoint a committee of
seven to call a meeting in which all of Kentucky's five whisky
districts will be represented. The committee will draft a plan of
organization for the Distillers' Association of Kentucky. The
committee was chosen as follows : Thomas H. Sherley, Chair-
man ; T. M. Gilmore, Secretary ; R. Monarch, Owensboro ; R.
N. Wathen, Lebanon ; Richard Stoll, Lexington ; T. B. Ripy,
Lawren(!eburg ; James Levy, Cincinnati.
THE AFFAI-RS OF THE THUST.
The Distilling & Cattle Feeding Company has advanced the
price of spirits two cents per gallon, presumably on account of
the higher price of corn.
A most serious blow has been aimed at the rebate system
now enforced by the Trust, in the form of an act just introduced
into the New York Legislature. Section 1, of the act, provides
that all individuals, firms, companies and corporations doing
business in the state, which issue rebate vouchers or certificates
shall deposit the same in banks or trust companies designated by
the State Comptroller, or else that such rebate vouchers shall
not be legal.
Section 2 provides that the vouchers shall be a lien against
the property of those issuing it, and when properly endorsed
shall be transferrable and negotiable the same as notes.
Section 3, of the act, makes it imperative to those issuing the
vouchers to make a monthly statement to the State Comptroller
and requires a deposit of such sums as may be necessary in
some reliable bank to secure the payment of the vouchers.
Section 4 provides for the payment of interest on the money
tied up by the system; and Section 5 provides penalties of a fine
of from $1,000 to $5,000 and imprisonment of from one to two
years for violation of the act. This section also makes the same
penalty for entering into contracts with corporations which have
not complied with the law.
The Trust will of course oppose the law with all its influence.
It is said that similar bills will be introduced in the Legislatures
of other states.
These goods, which we are selling largely to wine and cham-
pagne manufacturers throughout the country, are perfectly tree

Ipgletiook Vineyard and Its Products.
/f^ALIFORXIA winesare particularly wholesome when sufVi-
^V cient care has iKH'n bestowed on their preparaticm. In
Inglenook we have a particularly liai)py instance of what can be
accomplished by a man who has his whole heart and soul.in his
work.
Captain Niebauni. the juoprietor of this lovely vineyard, de-
termined to pnKluccMis nearly as |M)ssible jR'rfect wines in Cali-
fornia, and how well he has succeeded most of us know.
The great feature of the Inglenook wines is that they are
guaranti-ed to be the expressetl juice of fresh ripe grapes, and
that alone. No expense is spared to improve the character of
the vines, and no trouble is too. great to perfect the maturing
prfK'ess.
The«e wines are never sold except in glass Ixittles, be it
hock, sjuiterne, claret, sherry, jwrt or what not, and every bottle
sold is sold with the " pure wine law " lal)el.
The table wine«, a« well as being pure, are exceptionally well
blended, and their sherries and ports are manufactured and rij)-
<>ned by the best Euroj)ean iiu-thod.s.
The brandy produced by Inglenook compares very favorably
indee<l with importe<l cognacs, and is made from true <'Ognac
grapes, especial types having been imported for that puri>ose. It
hiis the distinct flavor of the old-style cognacs, and is undoubt-
edly inedi<'inally pure. Some idea as to the character of the
Inglenook pnMlucts may be gathered from the fact that, whilst
only from four to four and a half gallons of wine is generally
used to make a gallon of brandy, Capt. Niebaum invariably ex-
jK-nds seven or eight gallons of wine, especially grown for the
purjM)se, to accomplish the same result.
The watirhword throtighout the whole of the establishment
is " quality." " Quantity is not necessary, but quality and purity
we must have."
F. A. Haber of 122 Ssinsome street is the sole iigent for the
Side of Inglenook's products, and he is quite an enthusiast on the
subject of i)ure beverages. Mr. Haber has a right to feel iiroiid
of the fact that he is the blender of these wines, and he wa.^; the
first to place California wines in gUiss on the F^isteru and foreign
markets. We think he has still greater right to be proud of the
excellent products of Inglenook.
California is jjioud of the wine industry, and in the very
front rank of the producers of good wholesome beverages stands
Caj)t. Niebaum of Inglenook vineyard.
Peruvian Bitters.
/T is not proposed to discuss the merits of any beverage
which cannot lay claim to wholesomeness and purity.
Bitters, if composed of sound and pure ingredients, may ln' sjiid
to bti the most useful, if not the most palatable, of our beverages.
Peruvian Bitters — probably the best preparation of its nature
on the market — is compounded with great csire. it's principal in-
gredient Ijeing Peruvian Bark, which has for al)out three hun-
dre<l years been celebrated as a sph'udid t«)nic, esjHH'ially in <'ases
of disorder of the stomach, or when there are symptoms of mala-
ria. HjH'akLng generally, Peruvian Bark has a tendency to in-
vigorate as well as to give tone to the system. In the Ijist, as
well as here, they are found in all fheprinciiml hotels, clubs, etc.,
and of <'ourse everj* drugstore kiH'jis tliem.
Messrs. Wilmenling & Co. of 21() California stVeet are the
proprietors of this excellent stomachic, and, as an apjH'ti/.t'r as
well as a splendid, though by no means distasteful tonic, Peruvian
Bitters cannot be excelled.

MELLWOOD DISTILLE-Rg CO.
A Interesting Description of its -Magnificently Appointed Estab-
lisliment.
Tlu> lioliday miiuber of Mida's Criterion contains a finely
illustrated description of the magnificsnt establishment of the
^lellwood Distillery Co.. of Louisville. There were in all six
illustrated pages by the photographer showing the principal
features. The description of the distillery is as follows:
The development of a great manufacturing establishment on
a grand scale, incorporating within itself the latest improvements
and innovations in every department, offers an interesting study
to every one in any way connected with the line it represents.
It crystallizes all the highest experiences of the past, and much
of that, which to a casual obisrver may appaar of little moment,
has taken in many cases a full g,}ueratioa to bring to perfection.
The reflections suggest themselves to our mind after a visit
of inspection to the ]Mellwood Distillery plant. On approaching
the establishment a full view suddenly presents itself, and the
imposing structures, spread over an area of twelve acres, fill one
with amazement, creating the impression of solidity and grandeur.
Almost involuntarily the exclamation rises to the lips: "I
had no idea the establishment was on so extensive a scale."
This first impression becomes continually strengthened as the
spectator progresses in his tour. ,He is of course first received in
the office, which he finds to be the equal in its appointments of
any banking office he may have ever seen. Highest elegance,
with the refinement of simplicity, unite to create tlie impression
that the guiding spirit combines the practical and the esthetic.
The abundant supply of light and air has evidently been the first
study of the designer. The private office adjoining the general
office, from whence Mr. Rudolph Balke, the president of the
company, gives his orders for the conduct of the whole business,
is fitted up both with comfort and elegance.
After having expressed our admiration of the office, we start
out to go the rounds and are conducted through the different de-
partments comprising the distillery proper. The scrupulous
cleanliness of every department becomes at once strikingly ap-
parent, and to those accustomed to see the general slovenliness
prevalent in the average distillery the contrast is refreshing.
The mill room where the grain is being assorted, cleaned and
grt)uiui. is finished in hard wood, which shows the pride and care
the proprietors take in their establishment. The mills are of the
latest and most approved pattern, and are equipped with patent
rollers for mashing the grain.
On entering the distillery proper, both flooi-s can be taken in
at a glance. Everything connected with this department is of
copper, the still, mash coolers and doublers are all of that metal,
tlie last named being operated under an open fire. And, here
again we find that no exj)ense has been spared to secure the best
a[)purtenance8. The floor is cemented and overlaid with asphalt,
and is as clean as many a parlor. It has evidently been laid for
futurity and the large expense was a matter of secondary con-
sideration
The mashing tulw (19 in number), stand in a line like silent
giants, and their capacity both for receiving and discharging, gives
one a vivid idea of the immensity of the establishment.
The visitor passes in rapid review the boiler houses, barrel
rooms, and receiving cistsrn building. It would be a mere rep-
etition to go into details as to each of these departments, for
they arc all in harmony with the thoroughness and completeness
prevalent over the entire establishment.
In t)rder to have sufficient pure limestone water, the ^lellwood
Distillery Co. has opened its own artesian well, aff'ording at all
times an inexhaustible supply. The pumping station is well
wort'ay of a visit. Here again we find tapper pipes connecting
it with the distillery. The advantages of water, which plays so
important a part in distillation, are here at their very best.
Our next visit was, of course, in the direction of the immense
warehouses, six in number, five of which are devoted to whiskies
in bond, and the remaining one to free goods. The array of
barrels in one single warehouse, with a capacity of .Sfi.OOO barrels,
is quite sufficient to sustiiin the impression of the immensity of
the plant. Few can realize what 36,000 barrels, under a single
roof mean, and that of straight Kentucky whisky: to forui an
adefjuate conception, one must makti a pilgrimage to tlie Mellwood
shrine to see it for one's-self.
The warehouses are built on a rock foundation, hence are
absolutely dry; light and air, being the principal essentials for the
proper development of whiskies, are receiving the mo^t careful
consideration. In order to give whiskies stored in winter season
the advantages of heat, the warehouses are warmed by steam
pipes, and the samples of the different ages of Mellwood drawn
out of barrels convince the visitor that no Kentucky whisky can
claim better advantages of storage and maturing than is the case
with Mellwood.
The cattle pens, which have been of late thoroughly remodeled
are also exemplars in their line, light and ventilation having been
abundantly supplied. No wonder cattle feeders are vieing with
each other for the privilege of having their stock fed in this
model distillery. Large copper pipes convey the slop to the
pens.
"Mellwood" has attained a national reputation for the uni-
form superiority of its quality, which is well earned and well
deserved. To attain such a standing just such a combination of
capital, skill and lengthened experience was required.
The "G. W. S." Sour Mash is being mashed in small tubs,
and is also justly recognized as the finest that Kentucky is able
to produce.
"Dundee," the brother of "Mellwood," which has but recently
been introduced to the trade, is paving its way to the forefront at
a rapid rate, and keeps step with "Mellwood" itself.
"Normandy" pure rye, also of recent creation, crj'stallizes
the best efforts of the managers in that direction. The desire to
produce the very finest in this country, entirely irrespec^tive of
expense, has certainly been attained. Only the very finest rye
and rye malt, with not a particle of com, is used in the manufact-
vire of "Normandy." This is best attested by the fact that who-
ever secures a sample lot keeps it permanently in stock as one of
his standard brands, and the demand therefore is steadily and
constantly increasing.
The location of the distillery is so favorable that it affords
easy transportation by several lines of railroad to every section
of the country. It has ever been a rule of the firm to educate
and retain in their services a trusted corps of employes, each of
them thus acquiring the highest proficiency in their special de-
partment. In order to wed them to the establishment and create
a personal interest of solidarity, the company has erected a large
number of comfortable cottages, and the result of such wise and
liberal policy is that all work harmoniously, and remind one of a
happy family.
Mr. Rudolph Balke, the president, although young in years,
has, by his success, proved to possess ability and adapt-
ability for this business, unsurpassed by any one. His whole
ambition and life's dream are concentrated upon the Mellwood
distillery plant and the judicious distribution of its product.
Speculators are kept sedulously at bay.
Mr. Geo. W. Swearingen, the vice-president, the founder of
the distillery and at present the president of the I'nion National
Bank, of Louisville, is so well known to the trade, that the mere
mention of his name in connection with this great interest will be
sufficient to give it the highest business standing.
Mr. Edmund O. Luthy, the superintendent, is universally
recognized as most efficient in his department, and as a most
skilled chemist and scientific distiller.
Mr. W. H. Jacobs, the secretary, has beeii (connected witii
the management of the office from the very inception of the liouse,
over a quarter of a century ago, and the mention of this fact is
the highest endorsement.

THE MARKET.
S^ALIFORNIA WINES— The market is generally dull.
^^ Much more buying is going on than is commonly supposed
and several houses have established the long desired and excel-
lent rule of reserving the right to pick what wines they want in
the producers cellars. This is an improvement on the old man-
ner of buying everything — good, bad and indifferent at the same
price. The result will be that the average of all wines offered to
the public will be gradually raised and more bad wine will be
sent to the still.
There has been no dearth of topics for discussion by the trade.
Tlie movement of the Santa Clara producers looking toward
organization, the organization of a new Champagne Company at
Cloverdale, the Gallegos seizure and other matters giving plenty
of room for talk. Sweet wines are steady. Receipts of wine
during the month of March were 997,085 gallons. Exports by rail
overland were 111 cases and 34,063 gallons. Exports by sea dur-
ing the past fortnight amounted to 611 cases and 427,689 gallons.
/California brandy— The market is very firm and
1^^ prices are well sustained. Exports during the past fort-
jaight were 32,213 gallons to New York by sea, and 4 cases and
i4() gallons to foreign ports. Exports by rail in March were
4,124 cases and 615,.509 gallons. Receipts from the interior in
March were 47,055 gallons.
^ENTUCKY WHISKIES— The local trade is very good
^ ^ and the volume is considerably larger than it was at
jthis time last year. The dealers are watching the situation in
phe East very closely. The weakness of the market there will
I pe taken due advantage of by buyers in proper season.
T^YES — In sympathy with the general trade the demand for
A V i*y6S continues excellent.
In response to our inquiry Messrs. A. Overholt & Co. dis-
tillers of the ''Overholt" rye have favored us with the following
views on the present and future of the market for ryes.
Pittsburgh, Pa., April 4, 1891.
Messrs. R. M. Wood & Co., San Franckco, Cal. — -Gentlemen:
There has been the cry of over-production in Eastern Ryes and
it may be correct, but we are of the opinion that if the goods of
each season of '90 and '91 have been properly distributed there
should be no cause for alarm. The amount of 88s remaining in
bond are not sufficient to interfere with the market and prices
on this age are being held with firmness. 89s are being withdrawn
to supply the demand that necessarily follows the shortage of 88s
and ^^^8 they are being unbonded very rapidly there, should be no
uncertainty or uneasiness with the holders of 90s. As to 91s.
We fully expect to see them ruling higher, and a gradual increase
in their values, although in the meantime there may be a little
sluggishness, they will show themselves as a good investment.
As to our production. We have not increased the same.
In fact, we will produce less this year than last, and feel confident
that our buyers will appreciaie our interest in their behalf, to
produce no more than the actual market requirements. Our dis-
tribution each year has been perfect and our crops of Fall '90
and Spring '91 was sold to eighty-four houses throughout the
United States. It shall be our aim at all times to cater to the
wants of our customers as to production and distribution.
Very Truly Yours,
A. Overholt & Co.
The receipts of whisky by rail during the past fortnight
were 1 case and 628 barrels. Imports of spirits aggregated
600 barrels. The exports of whisky by sea were 333 cases and
785 gallons.
A GOOD APPOl/STME/NT
The appointment of Mr. John C. Quinn as Internal Revenue
Collector, to succeed the lat« William H. Sears, was a foregone
conclusion some weeks ago. When it was stated that Mr. Quinn
was sure of the position, a sketch of his life was jjublished in the
Review and he needs no further introduction at this time. Mr.
Quinn, judging fi-oin his past official record, will make an effi-
cient and worthy official and the wine and liquor trade and wine
producers are to be congratulated on having him in the position.

flWinot Uy our winw down in tVance for le«H than 47 centH jht
heotoUtre or about 31 ccntM per gallon, at which figure he says
that they cannot compete with the SjMinish winet*.
The Examiner, ihefrM trade organ, iuime<liately seizes upon
the atatements as a ba«i8 for a long free tra<lo article, in which the
wine makcm are roundly ahuHod for being protection ista. No
doubt the wine market might have be«in slightly relieved by the
Mie mentioned above, but the wine makers of this state do not
want to romain pennanently in any business whi.ai promises no
better renult than -'G cent* or even 31 per gallon for wine delivere<l
in Oette, cooperage included. It is nibbish to talk of fighting for
that sort of market. There is no money in it as a jwrmanent
thing, though we must oonfeas we would like to see 5,000,000 gal-
lonii removed from this State at any price for the good it would
do th« producers.
Had the Examiner cared to investigate this question at all Ije-
fore indulging in the e<litorial remarks it did, several questions
might have occurred to the e<litor. Let us ask the Examiner :
Ist Wan it not this McKinley Bill which secured the wine
producers their privilege under the Sweet Wine law?
2d. Did not the late Senator Htarst and the Examiner's free
trade friends in Congrees vote against this Sweet Wine law ?
3d. Did not the McKinley Bill secure the right to wine pro-
dnoeni and merchant* to fortify dry wine for export without pay-
ment of the internal tax on brandy so used?
4th. Did not the McKinley Bill retain the duty of 60 cents
a gallon on foreign wines, which keeps all the low grade French
and (Jerman wine« out of the country and secures the wine pro-
ducent a (air market?
5th. Did not- the McKinley Bill raise the duty on French
brandy from tl to I'-'.-V) a gallon and is this no advantage to the
difitiUere of this State who have tlie American market well in
hand?
6th. Does our erteomed contemporary, the Examiner, think
that tlie wine producers of this State are going to be forever sat-
iiiAed aith a businetw which promimw no l)etter returns than 26
oent« a gtillon for dry winew in CetteV If so, the Examiner mis-
takes the men in the industry.
As Htat'**! alwve, we regn;t exce«'«lingly that Mr. Carpy did
not make his siile. We ntgret that some way has not yet been
devised to get rid of alwut 5,(NM),()(K) gallons of wine in the State,
Imt if the wine growers of California thought they had no better
future than wincM sold on a iNUiis of 2(i cents in Cette, they would
retire from the industry.

thousan.ls of dollai-s. an<l all se* m full of \x»\^ for the whole year. ■
Otli.rsana little more e<mservative, and are anxiously waiting
to WH- what tiiiie will develop in the market.
"Wiiisky is verj- »iuiet now, and has betn so for the last six
months or ni«")re," remarked one wholesaler to-day. ^'The reason ,
that whisky has not advanced a single point in price for the past
six montiis'despite the fact that it is that much older, is that the
whole market is glutted through over-production; and the worst
of it is there seems to be no hopeful outcome in the matter for
some time. The Kentu<;ky distillers have contracts with cat-
tle men to supply sh>ps for their stock , and these contracts
run till June. Meison Morris, the Chicago cattle king, has 'iO,000
heiul in that State alone, and there are many more, of course.
The distillers, realizing that their business was going to ruin un-
der the prewnt rate of production, endeavored to c^ill a halt.
They went to Mr. Morris and asked him what he would take to
give' them a release from the feeding contract. His answer was
twenty dollars a head. So the whisky producers find themselves
between two very hot fires and of the two evils, they have prob-
ably chosen the one which they consider the least dangerous."
Another wholesaler said that so far as he could see ahead, the
outlook for the year was not at all bright. '-Money is scarce and
times are hard in much of the country where we are in the habit
of doing a great deal of business. Take Nebraska for instance;
this year theiv has been such a general failure of crops there that
they are glad to keep the wolf from the door, let alone indulging
in the luxury of liquors of any kind. That has always l>een a
good market for us. and we feel it« loss to our trade very much."
Brandies of all kinds are stiff, and such goods as Hennessey's
have gone to that point where there is nothing in handling them.
They are selling at $18,75 cents a case, and that does not leave a
margin of more than five per cent, for the jobl>er and he cannot
afford to keep his capital tied up and to run all the risk incum-
bent upon the business on any such a margin as that. On an
average there are about fifteen drinks of brandy to the bottle, and
at ten centa a glass the retailer is looser by a "big majority."
The result of this is that the jobber is pushing this grade of goods
out of his hands just as fast as possible, and does not intend to
load up with it again till there is more in it for him than at pres-
ent.
California brandy with any age on it at all, commands a
ready market and at gootl figures. A price list before me quotes
'86 at $.3.25; '87 Spring, $2.75; Fall, $2.50; '88 Spring, $2.25; Fall,
$2.15; '89 Spring, $2.10; Fall, $2.05; '90 Spring, $2.00; Fall, $1.90;
'91 , $1 .80, f. o. b. Chicago, in 25 barrel lots, tax paid. F'rom these
figures it will be seen that California goo<ls are coming to the
front very well, and it is evident that it is only a matter of time
when they will rank with the best in the market. "California'
brandy is Ix'ing letter made all the time now," said a dealer to-
day, "and it only remains for age to develop the flavor and
smoothness that characterizes the more popular grades and then
California can compete with the world."
Coming now to California wine, I find that there is a lietter
feeling in the market as a whole, and that some seven car-loads
have arrived in Chicago since my last letter. The To-Kalon
Wine Company have received two car-loads of sweet wini' from
Stanford's Vinii vineyanl, and J. K. Nolan has phwed live car-
loads of Port for Steiiiacher & Bruner. of Ix)s Angeles, F^our car-
loa<l8 of this lot is already here and the other will follow shortly.
The sale comjirises 12,000 gallons, and the prices are private and
BO are the takers.
One wholesale firm told me that the reason C\ilifornia wine
did not command higher prices ^vas an oversupply in the local
market. He stated that there was still considerable of the sto<k
on hand that was shipi>ed hert^ a couple of years ago when freight
rates took such a tumble. But the fact that the past two wt'cks
has seen seven car-loiubi of sweet wine placed on this market
would indicate that there is more room for wine here than there
was a few years ago. Ten years ag<), that much wine of any
grade would have siijiplied all the houses in the city for a year
and now we see two firms taking this amount and thinking noth-
f/reifie WIJME /rJSID SflF^IT [REVIEW.

iug of it at all. The chances are that theymay order more before
the season is over.
Spaaking of the wine trade fropi all standpoints, one of the
most extensive merchants in the city says that it is growing all
the time, and that the next five years will see it so well estab-
lished that there will be a fine outlet for California wines afforded.
The family trade is on the increase, and since the "grip" devel-
oped so strongly, there has been a greater demand than ever. All
this helps as it gets people familiar with it, and that is all that is
required to make it popular.
The To-Kalon Wine Company has secured the services of T.
D. Cone to represent them in the territory east of Chicago, and
J. S. Scliwab for the territory west of this city. The selection
will prove very satisfactory to the company and to the trade, for
they are two very active and courteous gentlemen, and both of
them understand their business thoroughly. Capt. Shillaber will
look after the city and he is able to do it in good shape. This
Company has just received four car-loads of brandy from Senator
Stanford's Vina distillery, and are inaugurating a very active
campaign for the summer with a view of disposing of it and as
much more as possible.
Mr. Franckx is very busy at work with the preliminaries of
();>ening his California restaurant. By comingas early as he did,
lie has had ample time to take advantage of every circumstance,
and has thereby made a saving of several thousand dollars. The
contracts for all the work are let, and on the day he gets posses-
sion of his rooms there will be a full force of men put on.
The entire room is 150 by 30 feet, and it will be divided as
tullows: Ladies' restaurant, at the front, 23 by 32; restaurant and
cafe, 100 by 20; kitchen, 30 by 30. Off from the ladies' restau-
rant thare will be an office and wine closet, and off the cafe there
will be tjn private rooms, six of them nine feet square, and four
of them 8 by 9. Four orthem will be so arranged that they can
be thrown into one room for private banquet purposes. There
will be 52 tables in use and 160 persons can be seated at one time.
There is a fine, cool basement for storage purposes, a very impor-
tant factor in Chicago. Altogether no better or more desirable
location for the cafe could have been secured. It is on the street
along which the tide of better business is turning very rapidly.
A lease for five years has been secured, and long before that time
the' wisdom of the choice of location will have been amply dem-
onstrated.
Speaking of the cafe to a large wholesale dealer to-day, he
said: "That is the best move California wine men have made yet.
It will have theeffect of thoroughly introducing their wines during
the World's Fair, and will open up markets that could not have
h(>en reached in any other way. It will also help the trade very
materially right here in Chicago, for there certainly does exist a
sort of blind prejudice against the California product, which can
be overcome only by bringing the people into contact with the
wine by degi-ees, as it were, and thus educating them up to it.
This will be best accomplished in this way. If an excellent dinner
is served, and with it fine and excellent grades of California wines,
it will not be long until they become very popular, and all the
other restaurants in the city will be compelled to keep a full
stock on hand. Another good effect it will have, will be to edu-
cate the taste of wine users up to a recognition of pure California
wine, and then the base adulterations which some irresponsible
firms are now foisting on the public as California wines will be
driven out of the market except for use in the cheaper saloobs."
J. B. Greenhut, son of the AVhisky Trust President, con-
cerning the Gibson-Shufeldt case, says: "There are no new devel-
opments or discoveries in the case that I know of. The trust peo-
ple are working on it to be in readiness for the trial. The trust
members will be morally on trial with Mr. Gibson, and they will
defend him so far as the evidence affects his connection with the
trust as Secretary. Mr. Gibson is at his home in Peoria, attend-
ing to his private business."
J. G. McClure, representing the Roscoe vineyard in Los An-
geles, arrived in Chicago yesterday. He placed a good order in
Omaha as he came through, and expects to do a good business all
through his trip.
A mysterious meeting of whisky men was held recently.
Several directors of the Mutual Distilling Association, of Philadel-
phia, held a consultation with H. H. Shufeldt & Co. There seemed
to be a strong feeling that the charge against Secretary Gibson,
of the Distilling Trust should be thoroughly investigated,
as they feared the Trust might resort to some bold tactics, nust
of their distilleries being in Kentucky. It was resolved that if
necessary, they would furnish means to carry the. prosecution to
the end.
It is reported that a company of capitalists are in Peoria, 111.,
looking over the groimd with a view to establishing a large dry
kiln for converting the slop from the distilleries into dry feed.
This move is worthy the commendation and support of evei y dis-
tiller in the United States. If there can be some plan arrived at,
or process discovered, whereby the slop from the distilleries can
be reduced at a profit to dry feed, it would be a Godsend not only
to the distillers, but to the trade at large. It is a known fact that
cattle-slop contracts, as wrilten at the present time, do more to
cause an over-production of whisky in Kentucky than any other
thing.

This is a very good showing for the holders of this celebrated
brand. Weiler Bros, here deserve great credit for placing this
brand so prominently bsfore the trade of the country.
Mr. M. Goldsmith of Messrs. Rheinstrom Bro.?., the favorit3
Blackberry House, was with us recently. He is a strictly reliable
man and does a big trade here.
Mr. H. Livingstone of the S. Dillinger & Son's Distillery,
(not as stated in the last issue, of the Thompson) will call on the
trade on the Pacific Coast in the interest of the Dillinger Co. soon.
You will find him an excellent gentleman and a man who will
gain friends in the solid trade.
Mr. W. Elliot of the Overholt Distilling Co., speaks with con-
fidence on the ease he will have in placing next year's crop. He
is all right on this matter. If he cannot get a good market, who
will?
R. Raphael says that the crop of Spring and Fall '90's White
Mills bourbons and ryes are sold out. This speaks volumes for
this brand. Hoffheimer Bros, are sky high in this market, and
have an immense trade with the best dealers.
Adler Roedelheim & Co. have now got a great call on Penn-

of Samuel I..aohu)an, head and founder of the well-known and

To his inilouiitahle will and energy, together with surprising

the earljr 80*. In commou with the general trend of the hardy

county, 'hoofing if from Marysville to Weaverville, where he

advice of Mr. I.acliiiian. whose knowledge and sagacitj' enabled
liiin to always speak knowingly on the subject.
I'l rsoiially Mr. Lacliiiian is rather stout and below the med-
iiiiii lni;;tit: yet nature lias dealt kindly with him and although
a|ipioa(liiiig tlie aliotteil tliree-scorc-and-ten, he looks forward to
many years of life with the hope of realizing the aim of bis ambi-
tion—tiie rapid and certain attainment of perfection of the wines
of California and to supply the world with the noblest of her
priMluctions. He is business all through, yet of a very jovial dis-
position, and many delight to hear him relate some of the old-
time incidents with which his interesting career is well-fraught.
Tlicrc is no doubting the fact that he is among the foremost in
the wriic liusincss and an acknowledged leader in many ways, of
the mctlKxls tiiat have been devised for the advancement and
improvement of the wine industry at large.
The firm makes a specialty of old wines and brandies, but
give espef'ial attention to Sherries and is the acknowledged
Sherry house of the United States. Owing to the increased de-
mand for California wines, a branch house was opened in New
York City at 22 to 26 Elm street and is under the jiersoual 8uj>er-
vision of management and Mr. Albert Lachman, eldest sou of 8.
Lachman; therefore making the branch a part of the parent
house and under the immediate control of the firm.
In all his business career Mr. Lachman has aimed at offering
a high standard of wines and brandies, and the result is that his
house is known all over the country as first-class and strictly re-
liable. Of late years Mr. Lachman has entrusted the manage-
ment of affairs to the younger members of the firm but still exer-
cises general supervision of matters pertaining to the business.
Few men can point with more pardonable pride to the for-
tunes carved out by their own efforts than that of the man whom
we have the honor to number amongst our prominent wine men
and whose faithful likeness adorns the pages of this Journal.

The Litigation Between Him and George T. Stagg Approaching
An End.
We have received the following telegram, from Messrs. E.
H. Taylor, Jr. & Sons, the distillers of the "Old Taylor" whisky:
Frankfort, Ky., April 9th.
-R. 3/. Wood & Co., San Francisco — The Court has rendered a
decision in our suit against Stagg, granting every prayer in our
jietition.
[SuiNED.] E. H. Taylor, Jr. & 8oK.
This decision comes at the close of protracted litigation In
the Kentucky Courts over the right to use the well-known sig-
nature of Col. E. H. Taylor, Jr., and other matters.
Some years ago Col. Taylor, Mr. George T. Stagg and others
were associated under the name of the E. H. Taylor Jr., C\).,and
manuf.ictured among other brands the "O. F. C." and "Carlisle,"
which are now among the best known to the tratle. Colonel
Taylor withdrew from the partnership and established the house
of E. H. Taylor, Jr. & Sons, asscK-iating with him his sons J.
Swigert Taylor and Kenner Taylor. Mr. Stagg organized the
George T. Stiigg Co. to operate the business of the old hou.se of E,
H. Taylor, Jr. Co., and continued to use the name of Taylor,
the barrel heads either In'aring the name of "E. H. Taylor, Jr.
Distiller" or '-E. H. Taylor, Jr. Co. Distillers."
This was at onco objected to by Col. Taylor and the suit
which has just Ikhmi diviiled result<>d. E. H. Taylor, Jr. & Sons
claimed an accounting for all the ilamage that had bivii don©
them through the Stagg Company retaining C<ilonel Taylor's
name, for loss of triule resulting, and also prayed for a jwrpetual
iigunction.
All of these prayers, aa wUl be seen in our telegram, have
been granted.

The trade of Marysville are gloating over what they regard
as a great joke on a well known San Franciscan. The story is
c<jnsi<lered so good that the Marysville Democrat devotee a half
column of space to relating it. It seems that a few days ago "a
distinguished looking gentleman wearing a plug hat bought a
ticket for San Francisco" and boarded the three o'clock a. m.
train Iwund in the direction of Shasta. In this fact the jesters of
Marysville <liscovered that the gentleman had "got on the wrong
train and was carried to Gridley, where he took the down train
and tried a fresh start for Frisco.' The distinguished looking in-
dividual referred to was one of the most prominent and jKjpular
members of the San Francis*-© trade and he is also a great joker.
He did announce that he wii.s going to San Fraucis<-o and he
bought a ticket for this city, but he (juietly boarded the Oregon
Express and went to Biggs where his house has a customer; and
returned a few houi-s later with a healthy order in his inside
pot-ket. He says the joke is ou the Marysville crowd and that
he will drink champagne at their expense on his next visit there.
The fellow who laughs last is generally "the people."

Special Correspondence.
Cincinnati, Ohio, April 7, 1891.
Nothing important has transpired since my last letter to you,
but, no doubt a few words from this section will be of interest to
the readers of your valued journal.
I note there have not been many large lots sold during the
last month, but nevertheless the market is in a healthy state.
While prices are not as firm as they were, and goods not
sought after as they have been heretofore, good reason exists for
this inactivity at this particular time. The money market has
been exceedingly close in the last thirty days. Rain, snow and
storms throughout the country have had a depressing efl'ect ou
trade in general; however, as soon as Spring opens, I am warrant-
ed in saying that we will have a fair and prosperous sejison.
Gowls will not advance to a speculative value, but will bring
a fair profit to the holders. '89s I believe, will be stronger than
they are to-day. The '88s are almost all tax-paid and housed,
and already thousands of quick aging '908 have l)een tax-paid
for consumption. The price of spirits have so materially ad-
vance<l as to stiffen the price of quick maturing '90s and '91s.
Eastern ryes are not in demand as thej' were, and the dull-
ness that affected the bourbons, has, likewise, affected the eastern
ryes.
The California wine market is quite brisk, and we note a
great many (-ar-load sales for future delivery.
If the "Koch Lymph" ha<l l)een the cure of consumption as
we were led to In-lieve at one time, it might have Ixn-n iiyoct^
into the sj)irit market and revive*! the briskness of last Soring
when everybody was ready to buy regsinlhws of pri(M». But we
will have to Im> satisfied with the prtH«mt (-ondition of affairs, am!
enlist our sympathies with Professor K(k-1i.

J. B. Wathen distiller of the famous whiskies "Criterion"
"Wathen" Bourbons and "Lackawanna", rye graced the floor of
the Chamber of Commerce last week. He did not leave, without
an order either. He will reduce the crop of "91s, one-half.
Mr. Durner luis returned from his southern trip looking
well. Now look out for some sales as Mr. Durner has of late
made several nice ones.
Pretty Fred Lyons can't keep away from Cincinnati. He
paid us another call and made some sales, for Weeks & Campbell.
Harry Traverse called on the trade last week. Harry did
not forget to bring his little looking glass. Now, he is very often
taken for Joe Emmit.
Mr. R. Monarch called during the past fortnight.
C. A. Bennett of the Minneapolis Distilling Co. called during
the fcrtnight.
Mr. P. E. Payne of the Sour Mash Diltilling Co., paid Cin-
cinnati a visit recently.
The Union Distilling Company has been re-organized, Mr.
George Deterly having purchased the interest formerly held by
H. H. Sippellman. The firm now consists of Mr. Deterly and
Mr. George Gerlie, the President.
Messrs. J. B. Wathen Bros. & Co. state to the trade that
they will not make over 4,000 barrel of "Wathen" and 3,000
barrels of "Criterion" this season. This is fully fifty per cent.
less than they made during the season of '90. Mr. AVathen says
that they have no spring '89s or '90s on hand. That these goods
are distributed among a large number of customers who buy in
lots of fifty and one hundred barrels. They have also sold under
contract a considerable portion of this season's run of both brands.
Messrs Jas. E, Pepper & Co., have just completed the erec-
tion of a new iron-clad warehouse at their distillery in Lexington.
It is said to be one of the most complete in Kentucky. This
company a few years ago commenced bottling goods for a few
of their customers, and found that the goods in that form took so
well with the trade that they continued to push this branch of
their business, until at the present time it has grown to enor-
mous proportion. 8

OHGA/NIZATIO/N l/N SAMTA CLAKA.
The grape growers of Santa Clara Valley have organized
under the name of the California Grape Growers Protective As-
80 ciation of Santa Clara Valley, West Side. None but grape
growers, wine makers and vineyard owners are eligible to mem-
bershi p, and the entrance fee is five dollars. There is an advisory
board of eleven members and a committee on membership has
been appointed to organize similar associations in other sections
of the State. Thirty members signed the roll. The officers are:
President, Capt. J. P. Crossley; Vice President, A. H. Wood;
Secretary, J. B. Kerwin; Treasurer, E. G. Hall; Advisory Com-
mittee— J. P. Crossley, C. P. Howes, W. C. Miller, A. Malpas, J.
C. Cottle, A. H. Wood, N. Hall, T. Kerwin, E. G. Hall, D.
Gartleman, B. Radovich and J. B. Kerwin.
The Association will devise methods of disposing of the
products of the vineyard of the valley about 1,400 acres of which
are represented at tlie outset. It is proposed to lay tracks from
Murphys to Saratoga if a free right of way can be had. It was
agreed that from eighteen to twenty dollars per ton is a fair price
for grapes and some plan will be devised to work up in other
manners all that can not be sold to the wineries at this figure.
Mr. Bozo Radovich who is one of the two State organizers of
the association, says that if possible, similar associations will be
organized everywhere.
In Santa Clara a new wine vault is to be exerted with a ca-
pacity of 250,000 gallons and the grape men will try to market
their own product.

BUSINESS SUCCESS.
If you have a line of goods, or a specialty, possessing quality and merit
IT PAYS TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW IT.
Every business man who consults his health and success in business must eat,
and not only eat regularly, but must eat such food as will be readily digested, wltli
such surroundings as will make his meal not only
A BUSINESS MATTER OF NECESSITY
but a pleasurable digression from business care.
When such a meal can be obtained at a trifling expense, and be productive of
happiness and renewed, if not increased energy, a business man is foohsb Indeed to
not embrace the prospective opportunity.
Such a meal can be obtained, and the above described results attained by taking
a lunch with us, between the hours of 11 A. M. and 2:30 P. M. We serve a six course
lunch for 50 cents.
In the evening we serve, from 4:30 to 8:30 p. m., an eight-course dinner for
75 cents
Besides our service a la carte receives prompt attention, and onr restaurant is
most elegantly furnished.
Referring to our exjjerience. both in the Old and New Woild, as restaurantenrs
with the fact that the cuisine and dining room is under our direct and continual
supervision, we guarantee the best satisfaction.
Being confident that we can please you in the smallest parttcnlars, we respect-
fully solicit your patronage.

" The regular champagne glass," said a man about town to
a Chicago Tribune reporter, " is the straight-up, thin glass with
a five-pointed star ground in the bottom of it. Men who drink
nothing but champagne won't take it out of any other sort of
glaiss. My attention was called to this by an old' wine man. I
asked him what this star had to do with the wine, if anything,
and he told me it was for the purpose of testing the wine. He
said if the wine was the pure article it would sparkle from that
star in the bottom of the glass as long as there was a drop of wine
in the glass, but if the wine was bad it would become flat the
minute it was poured into the glass. I asked him if good wine
wouldn't sparkle any way, unless it is a still wine, and he said
yes, that is so, but all the same, he insisted that no wine drinker
would take his vintage out of a glass that hadn't the star ground
in the bottom of it."

Detailed Statement of the Vineyards of the Gountry and their
Production.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
rg. CENSUS OFFICE,
WASHiNGTOif, D. C, February, 27, 1891.
For the first time the Census Office has made a special inves-
tigation for the purpose of ascertaining the exttnt and value of
the grape, raisin, and wine indufctrics of the I'nittd Slates. The
results of this inquirj-, while not all that could be desired, have
certainly cleared the way for future reports. An industry repre-
senting a total value in land, improvements, machinery and ap-
purtenances of 8155,661,150, and furnishing employment to 200,-
780 persons, deserves a special place in tne decennial iuventory
of tlie nation's wealth and resources. Unfortunately there are
no reliable data by which a comparison of the growth of this im-
portant branch of agriculture can be made. Unless retarded by
the ravages of those destroying insects and the fungoid diseases
that have played such havoc with vineyards in some sections of
the country, a still more remarkable development of viticulture
may be expected, especially in what are termed established dis-
tricts.
The accompanying bulletin, relating to the culture of the vine
in the United States for the production of table grapes, raisins,
and wine, has been prepared by Mr. H. Gardner, special agent,
under the supervision of Mr. Mortimer Whitehead, special agent
in charge of the Division of Agriculture "B." It shows the loca-
tion of the several grape-growing districts in the United States,
with a total of 401,261 acres in 1889, of which 307,575 acres were in
bearing, producing 572,139 tons, of which 267,271 tons were table
grapes and 240,450 tons were used for producing wine, making
24,306,905 gallons, 41,166 tons for raisins, making 1,372,195 boxes
(20 pounds each), and 23,252 tons for dried grapies and purposes
ther than table fi-uit. The material fi'om which these exhibits
ave been compiled was obtained direct by the Census Office from
he producers and by traveling special agents, and is regarded as
trustworthy in every particular.

VITICULTURE.
STATISTICS OF GRAPE GROWING AND WINE PRODUCTION IN THE
UNITED STATES.
BV H. GARDNER,
Viticulture as an industry is comparatively in its infancy in
his country. For more than one hundred years efforts were
Qade to grow the Europetm varieties of grapes in the open air,
Iways, however, resulting in failure, except in California,
'oniologists then turned their attention to the improvement of
ative vines, and the result is the development of many choice
ml valuable varieties. It is only since these improved varieties
f native grapes have been planted and cultivated that the indus-
py has become profitable and has grown to its great proportions
1 various parts of the country east of the Rocky Mountains,
rhile in California the foreign varieties have found a most con-
enial home and are grown to perfection. Viticulture was in-
'oduced in California by the Franciscan fathers before it came
ito the possession of the United States.
In New York State, in what is known as the Lake Keuka
ifltrict, a grower of grapes shipped his first crop, amounting to
fty pounds, to the New York market about 1845 byway of the
ew York and Erie canal. The grapes were delivered in good
jndition, and the commission houses handling them wrote en-
jiiiragingly to the shipper, advising further shipments. The next
Bar the grower was able to ship some 200 or 300 pounds. He
J'erdid the matter, however, and the New York market on
•apes broke under the pressure. It is estimated that during
as last season (1890) there have been shipped from, this same
district and carried by the different railroad and express com-
panies to New York, Boston, Philadelpliia and other distribut-
ing markets, about 20,000 tons or 40,000,000 pounds of grapes,
and probably one-quarter of this amount was, in addition, sold
to wine manufacturers.
The Hudson River district, in the same State, is estimated
to have shipped to the New York and other markets during the
same time between 13,000 and 15,000 tons or 28,000,000 pounds
of grapes, while the Chautauqua district of New York, where
the industry has been growing and prospering only through the
past decade, furnished as its 1890 crop for the different markets
of the country, probably about 1,200 car loads or 30,000,000
pounds of table grapes, making a grand total of 98,000,000 pounds
as the product of what is known as the New York State district.
This does not include the large amount of gi-apes used in the dis-
trict for wine, the figures and report upon which will be found
elsewhere in this bulletin.
As a further instance of the proportions to which the indus-
try has grown in the United States, as will be seen by the accom-
panying tables, the product of California for the season of 1889
was 14,626,000 gallons of wines and 1,372,195 boxes of raisins.
The product of 1890 is estimated, by schedules sent directly to
the Census Office, at 16,500,000 gallons of wine and 2,197,463
boxes of raisins, with young raisin vineyards enough to increase
the yield of raisins within the next five years to 8,000,000 or
10,000,000 boxes.
The area in which the industry may be found has been sep-
arated into five divisions, some of which are again subdivided
into districts. These divisions are as follows:
First, The Eastern division, comprising about 51,000 acres
in cultivation in the States of New York and Pennsylvania, in-
cludes the Keuka district, Canandaigua district, Ontario and
Wayne district, Seneca district, Chautauqua County (New York)
and Erie County (Pennsylvania) district, and the Hudson River
district.
Socond, The Middle division, with 42,633 acres in the States
of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the latter including the Islands
district and the Euclid district.
Third, The Western division, with 17,306 acres in the States
of Kansas and Missouri.
Fourth, The Southern division, with 17,092 acres in Geor-
gia, North Caroliua, Tennessee and Virginia.
. Fifth. The Pacific division, with 213,230 acres in California,
including its several districts, aud Arizona and New Mexico,
Outside of these five divisions all other States and Territor-
ies show upward of 60,000 acres in cultivation.
For the purposes of this investigation, the products of viti-
culture have been classed under three district heads, namely,
grapes for table use, grapes for raisins and grapes for wine.
The following table shows the area and production of vine-
yards, capital invested in land, buildings, etc,, and labor employed
in the United States by States: , '
Eastern division, — Viticulture in the Eastern division is
mainly confined to a few counties in New Jereey; the Hudson
river district of New York state, eomprising about 13,000 acres,
situated in the counties of Orange, Ulster, Rockland, Putnam and
Westchester; the Keuka district, of 14,500 acres, on Lake Keuka,
including Yates and Steuben counties; the Canandaigua district
of 3,200 acres, comprising parts of Ontario and Yates counties
bordering on Canandaigua lake; the Ontario and Wayne district,
of 1,200 acres, including portions of counties of the same names;
the Seneca district, with 5,000 acres, found in portions of Seneca
and Schuyler counties; the Chautauqua district of 10,800 acres,
near the shores of Lake Erie, in Chautaqua county. New York,
and Erie county, Pennsylvania; in addition to which Niagara and
other counties of New York have vineyards aggregating] 3,300
acres.
Four-fifths of the grapes grown in the Eastern division are
used for table purposes, the crop of 1890 amounting in round num-

In the states of Illinois and Indiana, with 4,740 and 4,8.^

with '_'2.H|.5 acres, viticulture has hardly held its own during tl
last deca<le. P'ungoid diseases have found the vines an easy pre
in tliesc statcss. and the vineyards in many localities have bw
jinjctic-ally abaudoned. There are some vinej'ards in the Missii
sippi valley and in favored localities where both wine and tab
grapes are grown for local markets. As growers Ixicome familit
with the use of spraying apparatus and fungicides, their liop<
and interests are being renewed, and brighter days seem to I
dawning ui this direction.

MiDni.R DIVISION. — This division comprises the states of Illi-
nois, Indiana and Ohio. In Ohio the industry is mainly fbund on
the I^ake Krie islands and in the northern tier of counties border-
ing on the lake. To some extent, however, it exists in almost
every |>ortion of the state. The I.«ke Erie islands and the lake
counties were iK?rsonally visit^nl in the month of 8epteml>er last.
There are in this district, in all, 10.2*28 acres. The islands fur-
nish to the markets about one-half of their product for table
grapes, the remainder being m-nt to the wine cellars. Erie coun-
ty funiishiw four-fifths of its pro<luct for table grapes and one-
fifth for wine. In Cuyahoga county, embracing what is known
•e the Euclid district, nmrly all the prmluct is shipped to various

mentaJ agent for the state of Missouri, says: "In Newton coun
ty there are but 20 acres left, but this does not apply to grape
grown in gardens on most farms. From 1866 to 1875 there wer
several hundred acres of vineyards in Newton and adjoinin
counties. Most of these were grubbed up and abandonetl. owin
to the prevalence of black rot. Now that we are certain that w
can prevent black rot and mildew with spraying, replanting iia
commenced, and will probably become general in a year or tw
more. As far as I know, the situation is similar to this all ove
southwestern Missouri."
For the purpose of this investigation, Hermann, in Gasconad
county, Missouri, was visited, but no devastation was seen in th
vineyards. One of the largest and iH'st vineyards in the state i
lo{«t<>d here, and contains 80 acres, apparently nearly all win
grapes.
Mr. Miessner, of Bushburg, Jefferson county, Missouri, i
well-known and reliable authority, reports to this office that tin
ravages of the black rot did not l)ecome ruinous until 1875. whei
the disease developed over a large jwrtion of the southern half o
the stat«> and resulted in the greatest damage to the grajH? cro]
of that se<'tion. Since that year, black rot has been of annual re
currence, marked by more or le««8 disastrous consequences to th<
grapp crop. In some years the loss would be no less than hal
the crop, or even more, while in other seasons it would be but i

small percentage, confined chiefly to vaiieties most subject to the
disease. Mr. Miessner further says: "The growth of viticulture
in nuvny sections of our state has received a check. A large num-
ber of the vineyards have been abandoned. The planting of new
vineyards has been reduced in some localities. Spraying the
well-foundo<J hope that by the intelligent and persistent use of
the cop})er salt remedies, we shall conquer the black rot, as well
as the milderw, perenopora, and other fungoid diseases.

h^iilnr Wine ami Spirit lieriew — SlK: In a Febmary issue of
your jouni.il von do n>e the honor to mention and quote from an
arti. 1. ciiiitled ■ liie Truth al>out Wines'* contributed by me to
Itillord's Maga/itic of NovemlK'r 1890. You close with the as-
s.rtion that tlif writer (.Mr. Bissell) manifests "an unfriendly
spirit'" to California wines.
Thi!< raises an issue to which, in justice to myself, I must
bc< nine a defendant. I have no jK'<-uniary interests to serve. I
mil imi a wine dealer, and I have no connection with any wine
ill al< IS. Kut having devoted a gcMMl deal of attention to wine*'
(luring tlu' past twenty years. Mr. Ik'lford was disj)08ed to Ijelievc
that he <'ould safely trust me to tell the numerous readers of his
magazine the •Truth alwut Wines." so far as this could be done
in an essjiy of eight thousand words.
If I ha<l said that the California wine growers, liaving ob-
tained the stocks of the most renowned vines of the world, and
having employed skilled labor imported from Europe, had sinct
1H60 produced the best wines, or wines etiual to the best wines,
on the planet. I should not have stated the truth, and Mr. Bel-
ford would have rejected the manuscript. The great ma«B ol
consumers have decided that, as yet. California wines are not
o<jual in quality to the choicer products of Europe, and in all
matters of taste, consumers are a jury fVom whose verdict thert
is no appeal.
Permit me to repeat a few statements which I made in the
article referred to. "California has an immense area kindly tc
the vine. There are whole counties, in almost any part of whidi
the vine produces a choice grape, among which are Santa Clara
Napa, Sonoma, etc. Her vineyard possibilities are as great a*
France would have if she were all vineyard" page 842. "Cali-
fornia produces excellent red and white wines;" page 843. "Cal-
ifornia, as yet. has furni.slied to the gayety of nations no re<l
wine equal to the fine classed growth of the Gironde, or ol
Bourgogne; no white wines equal to the high grade Sauterncf
and the white high grade Burgundies. But California is young
yet. Somewhere in this vast extent of territory, the juice of it*
grapes may have the aroma and flavor of the superb wines ol
France." "In sparkling wine, generally known as Champjigne,
California is as yet deficient" page 844. "Still it is neither the
possibilities, and Califomians say neither the probabilities, that
there will yet Ik" discovered in that noble state, districts in which
the grapes now cultivated on the Mame will produce a sparkling
wine equally good with that of the renowned vineyards of East-
ern France;" page 845-6. Now as to matters of fact, these asser-
tions are true, and as to matters of opinion, they are friendlj-,
If they are unfriendly, they were at least intended to be friendly,
This City especially abounds in cultivated men who know
what good wine is, and they would not keep on, year after year,
paying thirty or forty dollars a dozen for I^afites, Latours, Mont-
rachets and Yqueras, if California would furnish them with equal-
ly good wines at less money. Even the richest men look care-
fully after their expen.ses; they want the l)est wines and are
obliged to pay the market prices; but they will buy of the people
who break these prices and furnish equally good commodities.
Consider for a moment the accumulated advantages of P'rance as to
light win«'s, and of Spain and Madeira as to heavy wines. These
countries have lieen making wine during many centuries; tmdi-
tions an' solidified and converted into inestimably valuable nieth-
o<ls: the right soils have Imh'u lo<'ated experimentally; the prod-
ucts here and there attain almost absolute perfection. How can
California compete with them as to quality at the outset of her ca-
re<'r as a wine |)roducer. Let us be candid and admit that she
has just iK'gun the endeavor, and let us hope that she will suc-
WHsd.
Meantime for daily use on our dinner tables, California
claretaare good enough, when fairly rijH'nwl and proiH'rly l»ottle<I.

stitution can stand them. They are to be reserved for grand
occasions and festivities, and we innst buy them from Europe.
For our daily tables we look to California, and it is for the best
interests of California to send us nothing but sound, well
matured, wine.

Champion Bissell.
MR. DE TURK'S COMMENTS.
There seems to be much truth in what Mr. Bissell says about
the bulk of our wines. At the same time I think that he is
laboring under some misapprehensions.
It is not to be denied that there is much poor wine produced
in California^ — to contend the contrary would be untrue and un-
wise. I do not know, of course, ivhat wines fi-om this State Mr.
Bissell has tasted, but fi-om what he writes, I would conclude
that he has seen only those that are offered in the general market
as "California Wines." In other words Mr. Bissell seeks to com-
pare our vin ordinaire (or what is offered as such) with the grand
wines of Frange. This, he must admit is manifestly unjust to
us.
I believe that the great mass of our 17,000,000 gallons of
wine which is produced annually, will compare very favorably
with the bulk of the 750,000,000 gallons produced in France,
as to quality. Connoisseurs like Mr. Bissell do not see or taste
the poor or ordinary wines of France, all of which are consumed
at home.
It is commonly understood that out of an annual production
of 750,000,000 gallons of wine, France produces from 9,000,000
to 10,000,000 gallons of the finest quality. Assuming this to be
true, the ratio is one gallon of fine wine to seventy-five gallons
of other quality. At the same ratio, we in California should
produce, say 225,000 gallons of fine wine annually. I think that
we do produce at least this quality of really excellent wines,
which will compare favorably with the best wines from abroad.
Nearly every producer in California who takes a pride in
his work, has some wines of excellent quality, with which he is
experimenting. These wines do not get into the general market.
Some are consumed by the producers themselves, more is held
for ageing and a little works its way to San Francisco, where it
is sold at high prices to those who know a good article when they
see it, regardless of the country of production, or of price.
Though I have not the pleasure of Mr. Bissell's acquaintance,
I should judge him to be one of the class which will have the
best no matter where it comes from. It will not do to proclaim
to this class that all our wines are the best on earth. They are
not, and no one knows it better than the producers of this State.
Bluster never convinced a connoisseur. We should aim to con-
vince this class of wine drinkers that we have begun to make fine
wines, in a small way, it is true, but with a future full of promise;
that as has been happily said by Mr. Arpad Haraszthy in one of
his contributions to the Review, there are scores of men who are
working at the problem of producing fine wines' in a modest way,
unknown to the outside world; that they may not gain the rep-
\itation in their lives, but that their children will; and that all
we ask from the drinking classes whose opinion is worth having,
is that they judge our wines by the best, and not by the vin
orditiaire, exactly as they judge the wines of France or any other
country.
We in California believe that we have all the requisites to
produce as fine a wine as France or any other country. We
think that we have the soil, the climate and the grapes. We
are constantly learning more about the adaptability of various
grapes to the different soils of the State. Our wine makers yearly
gain in experience, improve their methods, and make a better
average wine. As far as quality goes, the bulk of our products
is vastly better than it was ten years ago, and a still greater im-
provement has been made in the higher classes of wine.
Mr. Bissell, I am glad to see, says that the future is a bright
one. I know that the wine makers try to think so, burdened
and discouraged as they are. Our greatest troubles are that he,
in common with others, does not know or comprehend what ad-
vances liave been made on a limited scale, in the way of pro-
ducing wines which will compare with any.

The qiiextion at* to what constituteH good brandy may be
l>riefly anhwen-*! an followH:
It w the "npirit of the grajio" carefully dihtille<l so as to
fiepiinite it fniin the impure and deleterious parts of the wine.
It must retain the fine (pialities and the pleasing tlavors which
remilt from the jx'rfwt fermentation of sound grain's. In other
wonls it it« a pun> s|iirit (Hintaining those alcohols and ethers
which render true brandy so superior in its medicinal virtues to
all other spirits, and at the same time being an agreeable and
imlatable U-vemge. Hut this is not all, as the variety of grape
and quality of soil and climate have also to be considered. Ko
then the <|uet«ti<m change« to, "Can C'alifomia produce good
Brandy?
To arrive at our eonclusioD we must first know what is
ne«'4le<I to attain this n<Mult. and then can its conditions be ful-
Hllwl?
Ex|K'rien«' is always the In-st tea<'her; therefore, let us look
to the e<nintry when- brandy is a su«"cess and study the metho<ls
of operation and In- gui<le4l by the knowledge evolvtHl from the
experience of many generations.
Franoe, though but one of the numerous wine growing
eountriea of Kuro|K-. is yet the only one in which bran«ly is suc-
cesi4fully pro«luc<'<l. Following it u|i still dom'r we find that
brandy-making ia confined to a verj- few <listrictsof that counlry,
which in area could bo i-overe*! by a few c!ounties of California
In a very amall |M(rtion of even this cireums<TilK'd territory is
a fine brandy iirtMliice^l (the Charente District). Other countries
whoM' yield runs annually into hundreds of millions gallons of
wine liave utterly faile<l to pnxlu.T lirandy of a satisfactory
chamber. NotwithstandingtheHtiuiulusgiven by the destruction
of the viiu-s in the French limndy District in n'oent yearn by
the phylloxera, the only Huc<>et«s attained out of France has In'cn
in .Mgiers and Hjniin. and that «mly in HO slight n degree as to
prove rather than cont4'st France's claim to b<iiig the only bnindy
prtKiucing country of the world. All wine priMliicing <-ountrin«
how.-ver, makea grajw spirit with which they fortify wiiu.« and
for other purpoaen, and in many caaca for a chea)i iH-venigc for
the [MHirer ilaKs«.f«; but they make no preteneiona to put it in the
Worl.lV market as brandy.
It is tlieref<»re deiiionstrat<Hl by European exjierience that
g.Hi.l brandy <aii only Im- pnalucwl in a very limited area, and
that certain varieties of grajH-s are alone fitted for the purpose.
With th<'s«' conditions and in a<ldition, let the utmost crare and
attention l»e exercised, wliit-h experience has demonstrated is nec-
cKsjiry. from the ]iicking of the grape, thnmgh its fermentation
and treatnunt as wine to its distillation and jn-rft'ction as brandy.
\a'1 inferior grapes Ix; thrown out, imperfectly fermented wine
jtut aside, and the greatest care exercised that only the best
mati'rials go into brandy.
Notwithstanding European experience, outside of France,
which is so unpromising for us, it has l)een clearly demon-
strate<l that California can and does prwluce (though it
is true as yet in very limited quantities) a really gootl brandy,
probably superior to any but the finest product of the C^harente.
This is subject to tlie ssiine conditions as in France, i. e. locality,
variety of gri>l>»'- *i"d cart? in the manufacture.
It would seem therefore, the part of wisdom that, possessing
this rare ability to produce good brandy, California viticultiirists
would be extremely anxious to learn all the facts which bear
upon it — what localities of the State are best adapted to the
growth of the brandy grape, and which varieties are best.
It is manifestly impossible that this brandy producing area
should extend from the semi-tropical portions of the extreme
south to the mountainous north; that all varieties of grap<' are
equally good; and that any process that best serves the con-
venience of the producer in the manufacture is just as efficacious.
Such a position is absurd on the very face of it, and as yet no
general effort is made to learn these cardinal points. So called
brandy is made every season in all parts of the State, and all
sorts of materials are used. The great mass of it is merelj' the
distillation of imperfectly fermented or spoiled wines, or {Kmiace
washings which otherwise would have no value. "You cannot
make a silk purse from a sow's car,'' is an old adage, and to
make good brandy from bad wine is etjually impossible. As the
concentration of ssiy five gallons of wine into one gallon of
brandy is in quant itj', so is the fault in the wine magnified when
put into brandy. The older such brandy becomes the more
prominent does its bad qualities appear. Again, while the
French distiller deems but one kind of still proper to use, stills
of various principles and constructions are used in California,
where the question of economy rather than quality of the product
is paramount.
Can it be wondered at, then, that brandy-making in California
has not been a success'? As a mere business matter turning
spoiled wine and waste material of a winery (which otherwise
would have no value) into a bad spirit that finds a market at a
very low i>rice may be a success, but the product is far from
Ijeing brandy, and would never find a market outside of limits
protected from competition by high tariffs.
We have a Sfcite Viticultural Commission whose laliors
amid be employed in no better field than to learn the capacities
of the different portions of the State in growing brandy gra{>es.
While each locality in the old wine producing countries has its
specialty, California with a charming disregard of the conditions
pertaining to the eff'ete countries of the Old World, claims
throughout its entire lengthand breath to produce anything and
everything equal to the most favored localities elsewhere. This
is tlu' worst feature of the matter, for acting on the assiunption
that we have achieved the highest, we have nothing to learn,
and go (m season after season repeating blunders, which less self-
confidence would have enabletl Us to recognize as such.
The time will come no doubt, when wine and brandy will be
produced in ('.ilifoniia according to the best capacities of each
liK'ality. but we have much to learn before we attain that posi-
tion and the first great step in that direction is to unlearn a large
part of our presi-nt su|)erficial know ledge aiul build again from
the foundation up. in a spirit which enables us to profit by the ex-
IM^rienw of others, rather than evolve systems and results from
our own opinions and inclinations.

THE GALLEGOS SEIZUHE.
Ab is no doubt already known ta most of the r,3ader8 of the
KK.vraw the immense plant of the Gallegos Wine Company at
Irviugtou is in the hands of the Internal Revenue Departmetit
for an Alleged violation of the Revenue laws.
The charge against the company is the familiar one of using
brandy for fortification of sweet w iiies (before the Sweet Wine
l^w went into effect) without payment of the tax of ninety
c^'nts a galhm. and to this is added the charge of evading the
tax on brandy pla<;iHl on the market assuuh theseizuri! wa.sin ide
for alleged infractions running back as far as 1S8!>.
The case for thedlallcgos ("ompuny is in the hands of attor-
neys who will decide what course of action will lie j)iirsinHl —
whether to compromise or fight.
The seizure is a large one. The totsil value of the plant is
estimated at something like $200,0<X). All of the wine is detained,
amounting to several hundred thousand gallons as well as the
brandy in warehouses^ etc.
Mr. Gallegos will have plenty of l)acking in the litigation
by those who csinnot afford to see the Company worsted. Much
Bympathy is felt for Mr Gallegos and hopes are expressed
by the wine makers that he will come out of the present difficulty
without loss.
WA/NTED-A/S EXPLA/N ATIOM.
Here is a dispatch which was recently received from Tiffin ,
Ohio:
Temperance crusaders attacked William Miller's saloon at
Bloomfield last night and oreate<l sad havoc with the proprietor's
cigars and whisky, after which the doors and windows of the
building were demolished. Great excitement prevails and Milln
hiis had to flee for safety.
We would be pleased to hear from editor Sheahan, of tln'
J'rvhihitioiii^L on this (|ue.stion. We have always been taught by
that remarkable journal, the Prohibitionint, that every one con-
nected with the liquor traffic is j>er <te a law-breaker, and that tin

CLOS DE VOCIGEOT.
When, in 1889, the celebrated Clos de Vougeot was divided
and sold in separate lots to several firms, it was foreseen that
difficulties would probably arise amongst the new proprietors.
All estate, whi(!h in England would constitute only a very small
farm, has been cut up into eleven parts, and each owner, having
paid a price in which the reputation of the Clos de Vougeot was
taken into account, naturally desires to benefit by that reputation.
On January 14, the applicaAions advertised in the Trade Marks
/o/ovia/ of January 22, 1890, JiTos. 91,855 and 91,859, by Mr.
Leonce Bocquet, of Savigny-le.s-Beaune, to register as trade marks
a label bearing the words "Chateau du Clos de Vougeot- Grand
Via— Leonce Bocquet, Seul Proprietaire," and another bearing
tlio words "Chateau du Clos de Vougeot," came before the Regis-
trar, Mr. Griffin, for hearing, on the opposition of Messrs. Cte.
Liger-Belair and Paul Laboure, who opposed registration on the
ground tliat they are part proprietors of the estate Clos de Vou-
geot. and that the description adopted by Leonce Bocquet would
lead to confusion and act to their prejudice. After arguments,
the Registrar refused Mr. Bocquet's application, and declined to
allow him to register the label and mark in question. Mr. Boc-
quet informed us that the matter was to come before the Regis-
trar, and, if it had been possible, we would have published a full
report of the proceedings, which would, doubtless, have possessed
much interest for the trade; but all applications in regard to trade
marks are heard in private, and in this case we are only able to
give the result. The subjoined statement is of some value, as
Showing the division of the Clos de Vougeot at the beginning of.
;he yeai-. The hectare, it should be explained, is equal to two
icres, one rood, thirtj'-five perches; there are to 119.6046 square

— Wine Trade Review.
B-RA/NDg.
This spirit is obtained as a distillate from certain kinds of
anes, the operation of distilling being the only process necessary
3 convert the wine into brandy. The trade of brandy distilling
carried on extensively in the South of Europe, that of Cognac
nd Armagnac being the most noted. Cognac brandy is esteemed
•om the absence of a certain fiery flavour found in other varic-
es. The brandies distilled in Bordeaux, Barcelona, Rochelle,
irleans, Languedoc, Saintonge, Naples, etc., contain some well-
nown samples. Genuine brandy possesses a peculiar agreeable
fomatic vinous odor, containing the characteristic aroma of the
ine from which it lias, been distilled. A chemical analysis of
pandy shows it to contain alcohol, water, volatile oil, a trace of
jetic acid and acetic etlier, senanthic ether coloring matter —
hich may bo either derived from the wood cask or added to the
)irit in the shape of caramel. Tannic acid is also present, and
partly or chiefly derived from the wood. Infusion of tea is
«d to be sometimes added to impart the color and astringency
srivel from the wood by old brandy. The richer the wine in
jirit, the greater will be the yield of brandy, but wines for bran-
dy distilling are not selected on this account merely. The white
wines yield a better quality than the red, owing to the former
containing more of the essential oil of the grapes.
The high-colored white or pale-red wines of the South of
Europe are selected for distilling the best brands. Inferior brands
are distilled from refuse wine and the marcs of the wine press.
The Eau de vie de Mara is produced by distilling the red
winesof Portugal, Spain, and the South of France mixed with
wine lees, the refuse of the grapes from the wine press, etc.
Most of the inferior kinds of brandy have a somewhat un-
pleasant taste and an acid re-action, but on account of their being
more hot and fiery, they are sometimes preferred in northern
countries and in England.
Cognac and Armagnac brandies preserve the odor indigenous
to the kinds of wines from which they are derive<l. When gen-
uine brandy is evaporated, the residue strikes a green color with
the salts of iron. It should contain no sugar or Grains of Par-
adise which are sometimes found in sophisticated samples, and al-
so catechu may sometimes be detected.
Brandy when newly distilled is as clear and colorless as water.
The distillation is carried on in the ordinary way. The spirit
comes over in any strength required up to 60 deg. When the or-
dinary still is used, the vapor given off from the boiler only fee-
bly ignites, and the Eau de vie geconde is collected by itself till the
spirit in the wine is all exhausted.
The quantity of brandy annually made in France is about
25,000,000 gallons, of which about 6,000,000 are imported to the
British Islands.
A large portion of the brandy sold in England, however, is of
native manufacture. British brandy has been the subject of nu-
merous patents, all of which aim at producing by fictitious
means, a spiritous liquor resembling the foreign article, each manu-
facturer having liis favorite recipe. The best malt spirit is fla-
vored and colored by various substances, varying from French
plums to oak shavings.
Brandy seems to bo the form of stimulant which finds most
favor in medicine, and without much apparent reason; for our-
selves we should prefer good Old Irish ^yhisk.y.— Whisky Trad4

THAT VE-RMO/NT OCIT-RAGE.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Wine and Spirit GazeUe, of
London, doubts the truth of the statement published in these col-
umns, that a sentence of over sixty years' imprisonment in the
House of Correction was imposed on George F. Kipling, of Nor-
wich, Vermont, for having sold 715 drinks in violation of the
Vermont prohibitory law. We have taken special pains to ascer-
tain the facts in the case. They are as follows: At the December
term of the Windsor County Court, Kipling was convicted of 715
ofiences of selling liquor, the prosecution being pushed by the
£iculty of Dartmouth College. Kipling's place was near the line,
and was a favorite though forbidden place for the students. The
whole sentence was 22,047 days, or over sixty years, and is the
longest ever known to have been imposed. Kipling is at present
employed as one of the boxers in the marble shop in the House
of Correction. He is quiet and an excellent prisoner. When
Kipling first came to the institution, he talked very freely about
his sentence, but of late has said very little. He has frequently
told Warden Richmond that he expected to be pardoned after
serving a few months, but the Warden has cautioned him not to
be too hopeful. The outrageous treatment of this man is by nO
means a solitary instance in the history of the infamous Vermont
prohibitory law. Kipling's case recalls the Kennedy cases which
became famous in 1882. Bridget Kennedy, of Rutland, was con-
victed of a violation of the prohibitory law. and sentenced Dec-
ember 7, 1882, to 17,847 days' imprisonment in the House of Cor-
rection. By order of the Supreme Court, she was discharged
from custody January 29, 1883, after having served fifty-three
days of her sentence. Her husband, who was sentenced Decem-
ber 21, 1882, to 4,297 days' imprisonment, was discharged on the
same day as his wife.

This cut repicsents the latest improvement in continuous stills, and a glance at
the construction of it in comparison wi'hany otherstill manufactured, will convince
any practical distiller of Its immense superiority overall others. I claim Ihcfolli'W
Ing iH)lnl« of buiK'riority: 1st. The amount of heal lu my still is only two (H-r cent,
thus affecting an enormous saving In stenm and fuel. 3d. Distilling double amiAint

THE MA-RKET.
/©ALIFORNIA WINES— Notwithstanding the complaints
^^ that are made by the trade, the movement of wines east-
ward is exceedingly heavy. The March shipments were very
large and while the April movement will not attain such pro-
portions it will still be large. The movement from the country
to the vaults in San Francisco is also heavy and yet the pro-
ducers are complaining that it is next to impossible to make
sjvles. Considering the monthly receipts for the first four months
of the year, this is hardly to be believed and is only to be ac-
counted for by that interior holders are already preparing for the
of 1891 and think that the cooperage will not be equal to the
occasion.
The market is in the same old rut that it has been for
months past and the only encouraging feature is the support
given to the leading cased goods houses.
Receipts of wine at San Francisco in April were 1,295,820
gallons. Exports by sea during the past fortnight were 193
cases and 66,606 gallons.
ALIFORNIA BRANDIES— Strength is noticeable in the
market. Holders have very decided views as to the value
of their goods and are not by anj' means in a hurry to dispose
of what they have. Prices range about fifty cents for '90 goods.
Ivi'ceipts during the month of April from the interior were 45,.3.50
gallons. Exports by sea during the past fortnight to do-
mestic Eastern ports were 2 cases and 946 gallons. Exports to
foreign ports were 2 cases and 6,221 gallons.

Snobs !
Why?
It is a short story and easily told. These individuals, by
common report and common consent, were the active members of
the Harrison Banquet Committee. They were supposed to get
up a loyal California and loyal American banquet for the Presi-
dent.
But did they?
Not at all. After several days resistance they put California
wines on, but "did not recognize brands for fear of advertising
some one." They did not have the same fear regarding foreign
wines.
They partially succeeded in discrediting native wines by
lumping all as California "sherry," "claret," etc., assuming that
no producer or merchant has a brand worthy of a place on the
list.
But worse than all they outraged all decency by attempting
to draw the line at California champagne.
No one objects to the presence of the foreign champagnes,
but the California producers were entitled to the distinction of
having their brands mentioned as well.
It was only after a desperate stand against public opinion
that California wines had a place at all.
Snobs!

T. M. Gilmore has again raised the agitation looking to niak

a crisis ahead of them and they are looking to Congress to assisi

There is relief for all if Congress will extend the bonded period; L

EXPOHTI/NG WI/NES TO FKA/NeE.
The exportation of California wines to Fi*ance has been often
agitated and yet never actually put into practice on a large scale.
There has been much talk of obtaining a regular and good mar-
ket for the wines in such quantities as would do away with the
actual annual surplus production, and even induce further plant-
ing of vines.
A.n open market exists which will take all the wine Califor-
nia can supply, paying a price that leaves a reasonable profit to
the wine growers. That market is in France, and as one simple
example of the importance of the wine trade, it can be stated that
during the year 1890, while the United States from the Pacific to
the Atlantic only consumed forty millions of gallons — including
California and imported wines — Paris alone received in her im-
mense warehouses and quays of Bercy, one hundred millions of
gallons, or twice and a half as much as the whole of the Uniied
States. Then come the two other important markets of Cette and
Bordeaux, at least as important as Paris. During the last four
montlis of every year, over fifty millions of gallons are thrown on
the C^tte market imported principally from Spain, Algeria, Ma-
jorca and Dalmatia. Bordeaux also receives almost as much, but
principally from Portugal, Algeria and Dalmatia and less from
Spain. Bordeaux only takes the good Alicante, Valencia and
Tarragona wines, whereas Cetts absorbs every thing from wine for
blending purposes down to a colored liquid made from the juice
of the grape, but which is only good for distilling purposes and
sold by the alcoholic degree according to its strength.
Last year a prominent wine firm in Cette having heard about
California wines, concluded to try them, and ascertain whether
they could compete with other wines or what they could be blend-
ed with; In one word, if they could be sold for a price on the
market which would lead to a regular business. Three casks
were ordered and sent over by a large wine firm here. One cask
was Zinfandel, one claret and one Hock; all of the vintage 1889.
These wines went by way of Panama and Hamburg, and back to
Dunkerque, Paris and Cette — almost a three months run, with
several transhipments. On their arrival they were tested by
the most qualified merchants in Cette and found to be very much
superior in taste (the bouquet having been developed during the
voyage) to what had been previously received in bottles. They
had thus been greatly benefited by the voyage.
This was the first important point in their favor. The sec-
ond point was that the blends obtained with several French ordi-
nary and medium wines, produced a good average quality of
wines, which could, when placed on to the market, have their
own denomination and value, competing with the very best Span-
ish. It was found that what was missing in alcoholic strength
was gained in bouquet. The Alicante and Priorata averages
thirteen to fourteen per cent of alcohol whereas the California on-
ly average eleven and a half to twelve and a half.
Another point in favor of the California wines is the amount
of "Extrait sec" they contain, running from twenty-six to twenty-
nine grammes per litre. Of course the higher the alcoholic de-
gree obtained, the better; at least up to fifteen degrees which is
the maximum allowed by the French customs at the regular duty
of four francs; fifty centimes per hectolitre.
A great drawback to shipments is the distance and the de-
fective communications with Europe. Those lines which already
exist either by way of Panama, or New Orleans, or New York,
charge such excessive freight rates that large shipments become
all but impossible. Of course sailing vessels might be used, but
that involves months of time. Moreover, as no line of eailng ves-
sels goes regularly to the Mediterranean, it would become necessary
in p^se of effecting sales to load one ship completely which means
that at least one thousand puncheons at a time would have to be
shipped. Australia is far ahead of California in this respect, as
large quantities of wines are sent regularly to England and France
by steamer at a far lower rate than we can obtain from San Fran-
oisco by sailing vessel.
These difficulties might be overcome were there not another
Emd greater one. If not met immediately, it will put a complete
stop to all oxportations of California wines to France. The
French Government as a retaliation for the McKinley Bill which
placed prohibitory duties on some of France's leading articles of
xportation, has raised the actual duty on California wines from
four francs fifty centimes per hectolitre, (about three and a quar-
"^r cents per gallon) to thirteen francs or nearly ten cents per
lallon. This is almost as much as the wines is worth; it being un-
derstood I am only speaking about ordinary good quality of Zin-
fandel and claret. Should such duties be maintained and the
United States Government not enter into immediate negotiations
with France, with a view of making such concessions as are nec-
essary to prevent the increase of an already sufficiently high duty,
to a rate which means prohibition, many of the wine growers in
California will have nothing left them but to pull up their vines
and plant potatoes, which at least will always find consumers in
the United States and Central American republics and on which
the McKinley Bill cannot have sucih disastrous eflfects.
With facilities of transport at a moderate rate, and with du-
ty which does not mean prohibition, but allows the delivery of
California wines on the F'rench markets at a price which can
compete with the best Spanish wines, the sale of all the ordinary
wines that may be produced from one vintage to another is as-
sured.
I will make the consideration of better class wines the sub-
ject of another article.

We have received the Annual Register of the University of
California for 1890-91. A portion of it is set aside for an elabo-
rate description of Prof. Hilgard's College of Agriculture (and
alleged college of Viticulture.) This is the outfit that costs the
State of California over $.30,000 per year and from which no
practical results in viniculture for practical men are ever attained.
This year the "College" has eleven students of which one is a
FVeshman, one a Sophomore, three are "at large," five "special"
and one "limited." Two of the eleven are from Mexico and four
of the others are from that intensely agricultural county, San Fran-
cisco.
The Berkeley Viticultural College is a truly remarkable in-
stitution.

&ketcl) No 4. H. W. Grabb of Oakville.
Among all the wiiiepnMlunTsorCalironiia none Htaud high-
er in |>uhlio cxtimation than H. \V. C'rahh of Oakville, whose por-
trait aci-oiu|>anieM thitt Hket<-h. A Hkillfiil wine maker, an able
man in handling hin winew and ])la<-ing them In-fore the public,
and a moHt uiuH>liiHli man in his willingneHs to ini]>art the knowl-
edfte he ban gaine<! through year« of co«tly experience, he com-
mands the wliH'ni of all claHHett. ni*>rchants and producers alike.
Mr. Cralih is a native of Jefferson county. Ohio, and was
born in 1828. When he waH a mere child his pan^nt8 moved to
AdamH «-ounty in that State, and there the years of hisljoyhood
and early nianli(NHl were s|H'nt. He came to California in 1853 and
tried his luck at gold mining, remaining three months at Auburn
and then thn-e months at Nevada City. Tiring of what proved
an unremunerative employment, he returned to the bay country
and in 1S54 lu<:at<>4l at Haywanls. First be tried grain raising
and then wt out fruit. su<-(XM><ling fairly well with both.
Whfle in Ifaywards he wa« ele<-te<l to an a«sossorshij> which is
the Rntt public office he ever had and the last he ever wante<l.
Arter n-siiling fourt«'en years at Hay wards. Mr. Crabb decid-
ed to renmve to the Napa Valley, and in that year he pun-ha«ed
the pla<v which he now owns at Oakville. Year after y«'ar vines
were wt out until the total area in vitu-s reached about .'{(iO acres.
The firttt winery was ere<-t<«tl in 1K72, but it wa« Boon found to be
amall and additions were ma<le from year to vear.
At pntu-nt. Mr. Cnibb has one of the most compleU' wineritw
and distillerii-K in the Stale. His wine vaults are c<Hnmo<lious.
accomodating over H<)(»,(HH»gs»llons of wine and bis sto<k of old
wine* is one of the moMt extensive to Iw found in the country.
Hilt priwent annual pr<Nluction is not as large as it was some
yeantagn, the phyMoxera having de«imat«'d part of his vineyard;
but re-planting with n^istant stwks is going on every y.-ar. and
it will not Im> long until the forunT an-a is restored.
Mr. CrnbbhaM d«me inestimable wrvice «» the pr<Klucers of
the State in the way of te»<ting varieties of gni|H>s and his exjM'ri-
enw* will Im' of value iw h.ng a*, the industry exists. Meginning
in 1874, he made It his invariable rule to se<Mire and test every
variety which be conid obuin in any manner. He had at one
fin... ..„ |,i- ,,1,,,.,. over four bundrwl varieties, and carefully tested
all. lK»tli tu* to the quantity of grapes produced and the quality ol
wine made. He distributed varieties all over the State frw ol
ex|M'nse and cheerfully gave to those about to engage in yiticul-
lure, the n-sults of his olwervations. In that way he conferred
;. lasting l><M)n (m allengagt'd in the industry and a<lded very ma-
icrially t<> the vineyards of the State. At one time he probably
hail the largest coibn-tion of vines in the worbl; this bi'ingjiisl
alter the (iardens of Luxembourg in France bad been destroyed
l»y the phylloxera.
.\bout six years ago after the Viticultural National Conven-
liuii in New York, he d«'<'ide<l to place bis wine,s on the mar-
ket under his own name, and l>earing the now familiar brand ol
••To-Ka!«m." the name of his plm'C. An agency was established
ill Washingtim. which af^er some changes of managenn nt. is now
one of tiie most successful in the Ea«t operati'd by a producer.
This was followed by another in ('hicago, which is now ably con-
ducted by ('apt. C. K. Shillaber. The New Orleans agent is P
N. Verneuille. J. L. Davis & Co. are svgents in San Francis<.f
and have surprised the old hands at the business with their abil-
ity an<l energy. There arc also agencieA in Minneapolis, Seattle
San Diego and Kansas City.
Mr. (Vabb is a firm believer in the cai*ed goods and familj
trade. He does not aim to obtain a large bulk trade but rathei
at placing a fine quality of wine before the consumei-s direct, al
roiisonable j)riccs. This policj* has proved a first-class one ever
in the earliei«t stages and he is very sanguine of a large extension
of business as time goes on.
Mr. Crabb has been unusually successful in competing foi
prizes offered for the quality of wine. He was awarded a medal
at the Paris Exposition, several in the East and in California the
prizes afid awards that have been made to him are Ik; num-
l)ered by the score.
Personally he is a spare man, below the medium height. In
demeanor he is quiet, but is pleasant and genial after Umg ac-
(juaintance. His one great weakness is hoi-ses and these he loves
with all the warmth of a horseman's heart. He has fifteen high-
ly bred animals in his stables, and not the least part of his outfit
is a three quarter mile track on his place which has few suj^eriois
in the State, affording every opportunity for training and speed-
ing his pets.
LIVE-RMOHE PKODCICE-RS.
The wine producers of the Livermore Valley met in the Liv-
erniore Town Hall on the 23d ult. Every prominent produce!
of the Valley was present or represented. After a long discus-
sion, it was decided to organize, and a temporary organizati'm
was effected.
The following resolutions relative to the Sweet Wine law
were adopted:
Retohed, That there is no distinctive class of Calift>rnia
wine-makers known as the sweet wine-makers, but that cm th«
contrary all our wine districts and nearly all wine-makers ar«
dirwtly interested in the oi)eration of the sweet wine law; alsQ
that in making amendments to the regulations of Internal Reve-
nue Dejiartment care should be taken to consider the wants of the
small producers as well as the large operators.
Mftssrs. C. A. Wetmore, Wente, Kauffman, Wagner and
('rellin were appointe<l a committee to look after the association's
interests in this respect.
The association will be organized permanentlj- on the patt«rn
of the one alrea<ly formed at Los Gatos.
One of the handiest and most valuable inventions coniiecttd
with the wine and liijuor interest which has been put before the
public in recent years is the bottle pa<'king manufactured by tiie
Thompson & Norris Co.. of Brooklyn. .Although it has been in-
trodiu-ed but a few months, it has met with a remarkably -
cessful sale throughout the East and West and will doubt I
uiH't with e(iual favor among the wine bottlers of California. It
is cheaji. durable and thoroiighly effwtive in pres«'rving glass
packages from breakage.

A SPLE/NDID OFFE-R.
J. D. W. Sherman, the well-known bonded warehouse man
in New York, has come forward with a splendid offer to the dis-
tillers and holders of brandy. When lots of brandy are sent to
him for sale, he offers to pay all freight and cartage on the goods,
and to make no charges for storage until the brandy is sold and
transferred to the purchaser. The only restriction that Mr.
Sherman places on his offer is that a fair market price be placed
on the goods so as to enable him to make sales within a reasona-
ble time.
This is a most advantageous offer to the brandy distillers of
the State, and one that will no doubt be appreciated by them.
Mr. Sherman's well-known standing in the commercial world
and his thorough reliability are additional guarantees of the good
faith of the offer. We trust that brandy distillers and holders
will give the matter a thorough consideration.
The Napa Valley Wine Co., shipped over 2400 cases of wine
East in March. This is the kind of business which aids the repu-
tation of our wines in the East.

W'illiam Wolff & Co. are circulating copies of the "Pommery

Mr. Geo. Forman, of Brown, Fonnan & Co., has just re-

Mr. Forman repoi-ts fine trade fairly good. The firm of Brown,
Fonnan & Co., by the way, are pushing their brands of Old For-
ester, Old Forman and others rapidlj' to the front, and much of
their success is due to the excellent quality of the goods they offer.

Messrs J. B. Wathen & Bro. Co. have decidtnl to reduce
their crop of Fall '90 and Spring '91 to 50 per cent, of what they
ma<le the previous season. Their output of Wathen will not ex-
ceed 4,000 bbls. and the Criterion will be confined to but 3,(M)0
bbls. In order to illustrate the judicious and conservative dis-
tribution of both brands, suffice it to state that the average is
but 25 bbls. for each customer. This must be admitted by all
as being as const^rvative a run as any distiller of a popular brand
can confine himself to. — Criterion.
Barrett & Co., of New York, the well-known prune juice

titUnl "How to Achieve Success in the Wine and Spirit Trade.''
The canlinal requirements of application, ix»nR>verance, careful-
ness, e<'onomy, honesty, civility, attentiveness, punctuality,

ginal cost, a table showing the cost of carrying .whiskies, value
of foreign <!oins, etc., etc., together with many new and striking

Jones says there m but one remedy for the track> and that is plenty
of printer's ink. No sooner had he arrived home than he jumped
into the editorial chair of the Coon Hollow Herald, and it is safe
to say the trade will be surprised at the edition of his paper. It
will be illustrated throughout and mailed to the retail trade in
the interest of Coon Hollow and Big Spring. The trade is seldom
complimented by such an enterprising concern as the Nelson
County Distilling Company. Mr. Miller, the President, superin-
tends the making of the whisky; Mr. Wanner, the Secretary and
Treasurer, takes charge of the office, and Jones sells you the
whisky.
After the whisky is sold, Thos. S. rushes to printer's ink,
and to-day the Coon Hollow and Big Spring stand as solid as the
rock of Gibraltar.
Jones is a crank on advertising, so is John Wanamaker who
paj^s his head advertising man $10,000 a year. — Bulletin.
Two new appliances for the cure of oidium and mildew are
about to be placed on exhibition at the Viticultural Commission.
These implements have met with a successful reception in France
and Algeria. The bellows for the sulphur is of a very ingenious
pattern, being provided with a breaker and sieve in the sulphur
box, which is continually in motion. At the end of the bellows
spout there is a pulverisator, enabling the sulphur to be distribu-
ted mider the leaf as well a.s over it, this being a very important
point. The machine pulverisator for the application of sulphate
of copper or Bouille Bordelaue also has peculiar advantages and
can be used on vines or trees. Donald Bankhardt who has his
office with John T. Wright, (MO Market street, is agent for both
appliances.
What a first-class firm, determined to furnish a first-class
article, can accomplish in a few years, is well exemplified in the
case of the Susquehanna Pure Rye. Messrs. James Levy & Bro.,
only three years ago, made a new departure, introducing the
above brand, bringing before the notice of the trade its unsur-
passed qualities. The success achieved the first year svirprised
even themselves and the steady progress the brand has since
made, is a surprise even to their competitors. Three factors
have contributed to the attainment of this end. No effort or
expense was spared in producing the very finest that skill or ex-
perience could suggest; the wise and judicious management of
Jas. Levy & Bro., in selecting only the best distributing firms in
the country to handle it, and the judicious advertising making
tlie brand as well known as a household word throxighout the
trade. Although its status is already assured, its future growth
can be estimated only by its past record, which can surely be
depended upon to be steady and unintermitting. — Criterion.
The Pacific Distillery, at the foot of Steiner street, has been
dismantled by the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company of
Peoria, 111. After the trust was formed, nearly five years ago,
the Pacific and Bay View distilleries were bought out, $100,000
in cash being paid for the former and $70,000 in cash for the
latter. It was given out then that the combine would shut them
down and compel purchasers to buy from the East. This was
done within a short time and since then the only distillery run-
ning in the State was the California, at Antioch, owned by C.
Jost & Son. A short time ago it was rumored that parties
liacked with considerable capital wanted to buy the land and
buildings of the Pacific Distillery for other purposes than dis-
tilling spirits. This was a roundabout way to again start the
distillery with California capital and fight the trust. The.
scheme was exploded and the trust decided to break up the
machinery. The large iron tank or boiler used to cook the grain
; and mash, with its accompanying machinery, were sold to the
Joshua Hendy Iron Works, and the alcohol and beer stills,
made of copper, were broken up and sold for old metal. The
buildings are being allowed to go to decay and the wharf is fall-
ing to pieces. The full capacity of the Pacific Distillery was
over 10,000 gallons of spirits per day.
In publishing a picture of Victor E. Tagliaferro, one of the
eastern traveling men of the American Champagne company, the
Louisville Wine and Spirit Bulletin has the following to say of the
successful introduction of "Reihlen" to the public: This is the
first year the company have ever oflFered their champagnes to the
trade, and their sales will reach something over 25,000 cases in
the twelve months. The capital of the American Champagne
Company is $500,000 and is fully paid up. With the introduc-
tion of their Reihlen Extra Dry they ofier connoisseurs one of
exceptionally fine qualities. Mr. Tagliaferro says' that he has
introduced the brand into most of the sections of the southwest,
and a large territory east, and wherever the goods have been
sold duplicate orders have invariably come in. He claims that
all he desires from any one is a trial, knowing that the quality of
the wine will recommend it«elf to those that are accustomed to
using a good article. The company's cellars, bottling premises,
etc., are among the most extensive in the United States, located
at 839 to 849 Folsom street, San Francisco, California, and their
New York offices are 52 Broad, and 50 New streets. They also
have a branch office at 2.S8 La Salle street, Chicago. The busi-
ness of this establishment is under the supervision of Mr. George
W. Sessions, Vice-President and General Manager, a man of very
superior business ability. The stockholders of the company are
practically eastern men prominent in the financial and commer-
cial interest of New York. They were very fortunate in secur-
ing Mr. Tagliaferro as a salesman, he being able to speak fluently
French, Spanish, English, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic,
and can approach all clat-ses of the trade.
A POI/NT FOK KE/NTClCKg.
In the course of a lengthy article on viticulture, in the
Examiner^ B special welcome edition to President Harrison. Charles
A. Wetmore in speaking of the needs of the viticultural industry
said:
"We need more legislation. The government should not
compel the distiller to sell new brandies in order to avoid con-
fiscation. The tax should fall upon consumption, not upon pro-
duction. If the goods produced at the sole expense of the pro-
ducer are never offi^red for consumption, the government should
claim no interest in them. In other words the producer should
be permitted to withhold his own products from sale as long as
he desires to perfect them or as long as the conditions of the
market compel him. When he offers them upon the market for
consumption it is time enough for the government to step in and
claim its revenue. The bonding period, therefore, should be un-
limited, as demanded by all producers of fine distilled beverages.
The Government has no right to refuse this demand, especially
when it is known that the opposition springs from the rivalry of
those distillers and rectifiers who compete against straight goods
matured by age, with raw alcohols flavored and doctored in im-
itation of superior qualities.
Again, the laws relating to distilling should not be framed
so as to operate principally to the advantage of the middleman
and against the liberty of the producers. A distiller shoxild be
permitted 'under distillers' stamps, to blend and improve his pro-
ducts by all legitimate methods, and to put them up in whatever
sized packages trade may require.
We need effective protection against commercial frauds;
against adulteration; against the absorption of all our profits by
middlemen and transportation companies; against unjust restric-
tions. The interest of the great body of American consumers is
in common with that of our producers. Laws intended for the
benefit of producers should not be perverted by Departmental
rulings and regulations so that the producer loses his rightful
profits and rewards and becomes subordinate to tradesmen and
manipulators.
The provisions of the Internal Revenue law affecting sweet
wines which were intended by a liberal Congress to benefit and
make easier the lot of wine growers, have not yet become prac-
tically operative.' What is needed now is the mo8t liberal con-
struction of all those features of the law which were intended to
relieve the producer from taxation; the simplest fqi-ms of regula-
tion so that the smallest and most humble producer may share
in the benefits, as was intended, and so that the building up of
monopolies may be avoided, and such precision in rules as will
enable all producers to understand their rights, and so act under
the law as not to feel the hand of the Government pressing
off"ensively upon the sanctity of private rights."
The first paragraph is one that the Kentucky distillers who
are contemplating a movement to extend the bonded period, can
take right home to themselves and reflect upon. The grape
brandy distillers are with them whenever such a law is
proposed. By all means let the attempt be made, though it would
meet with determined opposition in another quarter. California
distillers and Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Maiyland distillers
are ready and eager for the change

HIGH LICE/NSE AGAI/N.
The State Protective Assotdation is now confronted with a
Hi^h License proposition in San Francisco, the fate of which is
still iu the balance. The High License party includes manj- cler-
ical gentlemen such as Rev. Father George Montgomery, and
practically all the influential Episcopal clergj'men as well as
many of the solid citizens.
The onlybar to the success of the High License people is that
they are not united on any measure. They do not know them-
selves what they want. But the very fact that they are clamoring
for a higher license and that they are a solid compact body of men
on the proposition, ought to be enough to arouse the Protective
.\ssociation from its lethargy.
The Association has slept long enough if it is to effect any-
thing at all. The local Association of beer saloon keepers is al-
most the only body of li(juor men who have evinced any energy
in the matter. We trust that the error in allowing the last scis-
sion of the Legislature to go by without making an effort to settle
this license question, is now fully seen.
The l)eer and wine men are endeavoring on the side to get a
separate and lower license for their goods. While they are about
it, it would be a good plan for them to have an amendment pre-
scribing no license for selling bottled beer and wine not ronxiimed on
tlif premiiteg of the render. This would enable grocers to sell bot-
tled beer and wine the same as household supplies of any other
kind ami would be a distinct advantage to the wine makers and
beer bottleix.
A TgPOG-RAPHICAL E-R-ROR.
In the last issue of the Rkvikw. on the table of overland sliij)-
ments, the headings of "wine" and "brandy" were reversed
through a typographityil error. The shipments were made to ag-
gregiite 1 1 1 cases and .'{4,0t);} gallons of w inc and 4,124 caws and
(il.'),.')0() gallons of brandy. To read <H)rrectly, the heads of wine
and braiuly in the part showing the points of shipment in Cali-
fornia should be reversed.
CELLAR TO LET.
The basement under the CommenMal Hotel. Montgomery
Ave. and Kearny street, formerly occupied by J. (lundlach & Co..
as one of their wine cellars, is now for rent. The cellar has a
sixteen foot ••eiling. is dry and well ventilated, has elevator full
width of the sidewalk. Anj-one in need of agoo<l cellar in a tirst
class location is invited to call at the Commercial Hotel and
inspect the above.

Chicago, April 25, 1891.
[special correspondence.]
During the paHt fortuiglit there have been no new develop-
nents in the wine and Hquor trade. In a general way both may
)e said to be very quiet, and yet there is a good deal of move-
nent, montly in a small way. In whiskies '86s and '87s are the
"avorites, and there is some activity in them, but outside of that
here is little doing. The older whiskies do not find a ready
narket. If the goods are newer they are cheaper on account of
ihe stock that is on hand, and which is as yet accumulating very
ast. The distillers contract with the cattle men continues in
bree and the output of whisky in Kentucky is still fast swelling
he overstock that is already on hand.
The wine trade is growing better all the time and the firms
vhich are handling first-class and straight California goods have
lotliing to complain of. The family trade is growing gradually,
md it is to that, largely, that California wine must always look
or consumption and market. Wine is not a favorite bar drink
lere nor anywhere in the United States, though it is growing in
)opularity here in that respect very fast. But upon the table
md in the social intercourse of American life is where it will be
rowned queen of all.
The California Company tell me that they are doing more
)usiness this year than at any time during the five years they
lave been here, and that their trade is on the up grade all the
ime. They carry a full stock of fine, pure California wines, and
hey never lose a customer who has once tried their wine.
At the To-Kalon Company's sales-rooms there is a goodly
«tivity all the time, and Captain Shillaber reports the business
« good, and the outlook as better. The Spring orders were
airly large, and from such sources as will expand the trade and
ixtend futui-e orders.
One thing is evident, and that is that wine, and especially
lalifornia wine, does not come under the ban of temperate peo-
>le to the same extent as whisky, brandy, beer, or even foreign
nne. The reason of this is that they have come to look upon
lalifornia wine as the pure fermented grape juice, and that it is
lot pnly harmless, but really a pleasant and health-imparting
leverage. The result of this is a large increase in the family de-
nand for it, and it is no uncommon thing to see elegantly dressed
adies on a shopping tour down town, stop in at California wine
lepots and take a bottle of Port, Sherry or Malaga wine along
?ith them.
The California brandy trade is still at the head of the pro-
ession, and so long as the goods keep up to their present standard
ir grow better with experience in making, their is but little to
ear. As the matter looks now it would be more profitable for
11 concerned, if those wine growers who have distilleries would
onvert all their product into brandy. This would afford them
, better return than they can possibly get from the wine, and
?hat is better, it would relieve the market of just that much
?ine, and thus give the other wine men a chance to get better
irices for their goods.
''Takamine" is the name given to a new kind of ferment that
ras discovered by a resident of Japan, and it is claimed that it
rill do wonders. A company for handling it has been formed
lere for the purpose of pushing it to the front. A meeting of
he stockholders of the Takamine Ferment Company was held
ecently w'hen it was decided to increase the number of direc-
ors from three to nine. An election to choose the six new mem-
ers will be held April 27th.
The Distilling and Cattle-feeding Company has declared its
isuaJ monthly dividend of 1^ per cent, for May.
The weather has at last turned warm, a thing that it seemed
3 have almost forgotten to do, and as a result the saloon trade
as increased from $20 to $30 per day.
Fifteen barrels of To-Kalon wine have been placed in New
York lately, and at a very fair price. It was a high grade of
goods, and the buyer would have made his order much larger
had the goods been in stock.
The Mt. Vernon whisky is having a great run here at this
time. It was placed on the market forty-five days ago, and
already it is to be had all over the city. It is put up by the
Hannis Distilling Company , and is being pushed here by M. A Itman.
J. Silverstone, representing Cook & Bernheimer, of New
York, is spending the week here and is busy placing orders for
the fine whiskies, wines and other licjuors which that firm carry.
Mr. Franckx reports that matters are progressing most sat-
isfactorily with his California cafe. He will not be able to open
until the 15th of May, but at that time there will be a grand
"whoop-up."
Mr. Walter Werner, of the Mellwood Distilling Co., has
been making a trip throughout the West, taking in, of course,
the metropolitan city of Chicago. It may appear somewhat
paradoxical, but the present apathy as to buying '91s seems to
be working in the interest of the Mellwood brand, for the output
of this season has already been nearly all engaged by the perma-
nent patrons of the brand. We abstain from giving the reasons
for this, but the mention of the actual fact is more potent than
any verbal explanation can be. That confidence between manu-
facturers and patrons must be grounded on a most substantial
basis, as to conservative management of Mellwood distillery,
uniform excellence of quality and judicious distribution, goes
without saying.
George J. Gibson, formerly Secretary of the Trust, has been
indicted for complicity in the plot to blow up the Shufeldt dis-
tillery. He was at once arrested on a capias but gave bond.
The firm of H. H. Shufeldt & Co. will use every fair means to
have a speedy trial. L. L. Palmer.

Louisville, Ky., April 24, 1891.
Editor Review: — I think that as a rule, the trade cares less
for reports and news regarding the whisky market at the dift'er-
ent points in good times than in slow ones, and as the present
moment is characterized by an extreme slowness and dullness I
will try to give you reasons and explanations for the present
state of affairs.
Business in our line was extremely satisfactory for the two
years prior to March 1, 1891, and every holder of whisky not
only made money on his holdings by the advance in prices, but
found a ready sale for his goods at satisfactory prices. It is only
a natural consequence that in the face of such prosperous times
the trade allowed itself to be carried away to a certain degree
and enabled the distillers to unload nearly the whole crop of '90
whisky.
The distillers in turn, finding such a ready sale for their '90
goods did not see any reason why they should curtail the pro-
duction of whiskies in '91 and so we will have to face at the end
of this distilling season two successive large crops of whisky,
which under some circumstances might result verj' disastrously,
but fortunately as matters stand will not be able to cause much
or any calamity.
In the first place the '90 crop of whisky was manufactured
with very cheap grain and was marketed and sold at verj^ low
prices. The '91 crop, manufactured with very high-priced grain,
has not been sold and is held almost entirely by the distillers
who will have to protect it. Consequently they will be almost
entirely unable to produce during the season of 1892.
But there appears the "Deus ex machina" for the whisky
business in the form of an advance in corn, which at the pree-
ent moment commands as much as 80 cents for cash corn. The
consequence is a raise in the price of high-wines and as the ten-
dency of the produce market is rising, a farther advance in high-

( "hampagne making is to be experimented with at the Stan-
ford winery at Vina, Senator Stanford having just secured the
service of one of the foremost experts in France to conduct the
operations.
Ever since the success of Arpad Haraszthy's first under-
taking was assured, and particularly since Mr. Haraszthy's house
has mule such remarkable progress in the market others have
been sedulously working on the same line. It is said that the
experinu'uts of Lefranc & Masson of San Jose have been highly
8uc;v'ssful and there are one or two others who are reported Ki
be doing well in their experimental work.
Senator Stanford brings to the cause all the advantages o1
immense capital wliich enables him to secure the best foreman
obtainable. His new man is Etienne Douspis, a young French-
man who has recently graduated at the Viticultural School a(
Lyons. He has besides had a long and varied experience in the
caves of two of the largest producers iu the champagne district.
Accompauying him are two geutlemen almost equally expert in
the business.
Mr. Douspis will at once set about his work at Vina bul
naturally it will be a long time before "Stanford Sec" yvill 1>«

the death of the late William H. Scars. On the day Mr. Quinii
was sworn in, the assistants in the office presented Captain
Younglwrg with a handsome gold watch as a testimonial ol
their esteem. The gift was one which was \vell deserved by the

THE T-RUST'S CO/NDITIO/N.
Statenjent of President J. B. Ereenhilt Read at tlie Annual Meet-
ing—Business Transacted.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Distilling and
Cattle Feeding Company was held at the office of the company
at noon in Peoria on the 15th nit, and was well attended by
representatives from all parts of the country, most of whom
came armed with the proxies of those who were unable to attend.
The roll call showed that 295,21.3 shares were represented at
the meeting. This being the first annual meeting of the stock-
holders since its reorganization, a full board of nine directors had
to be elected, divided in terms of one, two and three years. The
result of the election showed that eight of the old directors were
re-elected, and one new one, as follows: Joseph B. Greenhut,
Adolph Woolner, Warren H. Corning, for three years; William
N, Hobart, Louis H. Green, Herbert L, Terrell, for two years;
Peter J. Hennessy, Nelson Morris, Julius E. French for one
year.
Mr. Julius E. French, the newly-elected director, is a pro-
aainent and wealthy business man of Cleveland, Ohio, and a
decided addition to the directors, and was recommended and
endorsed by the largest eastern stockholders. The executive
officers of the company are J. B. Greenhut, President; Adolph
Woolner, Vice-President; William N. Hobart, Treasurer; P. J.
Hennessy, Secretary; N. E. D. Huggins, Assistant Secreta,ry.
We are indebted to Messrs. Lilienthal & Co., for the annual
•eport of President Greenhut which is as follows:
Gentlemen: I take pleasure in greeting you at the annual
meeting of the stockholders of this company.
The board of directors who have served this company for
she first year feel .special pride in reflecting over the work ac-
jomplished the past year, and they hope to have earned in their
jndeavors to promote the true interest and prosperity of this
ompany, the approbation of the stockholders.
The year preceding the organization of this company was
)ne of general depression and low prices in our business, owing
» excessive competition with tliose who were endeavoring to
jxtend their business by seeking our trade. It therefore became
lecessary for this company to make a new departure in. order to
secure the continued patronage of our customers, which change
Rras accomplished last May by inaugurating the rebate system,
nrith which, by this time, I presume every stockholder has be-
X)me fully acquainted, and it will not be necessary for me now
» explain the system in detail. I can state, however, that the
lystem is in good working order, and is of great benefit to this
jompany in being able to maintain a steady market for its pro-
iucts, at a fair manufacturer's profit, varying prices only as the
X)st of production necessitates such changes.
This company is not the only beneficiary of the rebate
lystem as our customers have realized the fact that the system is
ilso a benefit to them, and while some objected, the trade, as a
nrhole, finds that the system insures them a steady market and
jetter profits than they have been able to obtain heretofore, and
[ feel confident that if the question of retaining or abolishing the
■ebate system was put to a vote, a large majority of the trade
vould vote in favor of the rebate system rather than have the
)U8iness relapse into the unsatisfactory condition of low basing,
md varying market quotations, which prevailed heretofore.
Besides this, the trade has our guarantee that being assured
)f their patronage, we will not only maintain a steady market,
rat at all times only exact a fair manufacturer's profit for our
jroduct. This guaranty is of great value to the trade, which all
•eadily admit and appreciate.
The best proof that we have not lost favor with the trade is
he fact that the business of this company has been steadily in-
■reasing, as will be seen by the following comparative statement
)f sales of our product covering the last three fiscal years, viz.:
Gallons.
Mes for fiscal year ending March ,31, 1889 .35,867,211
" " " " " March ,31, 1890 40,8.32,220
" " '• " " ■ March 31, 1891 44,7.38,171
^\\ of which show a healthy and steady growth, the last year's
ales being an increase of about twenty-five per ceat over the
sales of the fiscal year of 1889. The sales the past ten months^,
since the rebate system has been in operation, show a stt^ady in-
crease over the sales of each of the corresponding months of
the previous year.
We have labored unceasingly in the direction of reducing
the cost of production, and to establish the greatest amount of
efficiency and economy in every department. Tliat our efforts
have not been in vain is in part exemplified by the following
comparative statement of our yields of finished spirits per bushel
of grain used for the last three fiscal years, viz:
Gallons
per bushel.
Average jaeld of finished goods, for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 1889, was 4.56
Average yield of finished goods for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 1890, was 4.67
Average yield of finished goods for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 1891, was 4.71
showing a gain for la^t year of fifteen points over the average
yield for the year 1889.
We have also introduced improvements of various kinds,
tending to economise in labor, materials and expenses, as we con-
sider it of the greatest importance for us to lead in the line
of cheapening the cost of production to its lowest limit, and
therebybe enabled to solidify our position, and overcome any
competition that may arise.
In this connection I wish to state that this company has re-
cently secured the exclusive control for the United States of a
new patented process in distillation, commonly known as
THE JAPANESE PROCESS,
which we are now giving a careful and crucial test in one of our
plants in this city. While it is premature to state the full ex-
tent of the savings and benefits we can derive from this process,
I can say that the indications and results of the preliminary
tests have been very favorable, and point to a great saving in
the cost of materials, and increase of yield over our present
process of distillation. If further tests confirm the results
already obtained, then we are surely on the point of revolution-
izing the conditions heretofore prevailing in our business, and
the advantages which would accrue thereby to this company are
incalcuable. It is estimated by the patentee that there will be a
saving of about fifteen cents per bushel of grain mashed.
We have secured the control of this patented process on
very favorable terms to this company, viz: We have no royalty
or other payments to make, unless a saving is established over
our present process of distillation. When this is established, we
shall only pay as a royalty one-fifth of the amount of such net
savings.
Under such circumstances it is hardly necessary for me to
state that with an advantage of such magnitude in our favor
this company would occupy in the competitive field, an impreg-
nable position.
A summary of the company's

IOWA'S OPPO-RTU/NITg.
It ill a pleamire to know that the Iowa prohibition law is to
be fought over onc«- inon- in the .Supn'ine Court of that Stat«,
■a it may be the lieginning of emancipation of the people from
their prewnt "temperance" priMliciuncnt.

A SE/^SIBLE JUDGE.
In the course of his charge to t le Deadwood S. D. Grand Jury
Judge Thomas recently sail :
"Since our admission to statehood, we are confronted with i
new law prohibiting the sale of liquors of all kin is, and under m]
oath as judge, it becom3.% my duty to instruct you to invest!:- *
any and all violations of this law. You and I may have v.
for it, and the majority mu-«t rule in this country.. General Gran
said, 'The best way to get rid of an obnoxious law is to strictly en
force it.' I do not know that the law is violated, neither do you
for we don't indulge, but it is generally understood that liquor i
sold here in Deadwood openly, and it is your duty to conside
the.se matters, and if the testimony warrants it, I want you to iu
diet those parties. I will say here that I do not believe in th
policy of this law of prohibition. I do not believe in taking i
man by the nape of the neck and the seat of his trousers am
throwing him over the ramparts of heaven. I do not believ
that the legislature can pass a resolution to save any man, els
we would ask them to pass a general resolution and 'resolve' a
all to heaven. And while personally I might feel like atandin]
in with these people, I propose to do ray duty toward enforciuj
this law, and so should you. It will require some nerve, som
backbone, some courage to do this, but under your oath it is you
duty, and if any of you will get up and say that you are not abl
to do this, I will excuse you."
Sensible man!
OHIO'S PUHE WI/SE LAW.
A bill of great interest to the Ohio w ine trade has passed t h
Legislature and become a law. It was introduced by Mr. Beiizi
and amended by Senator Sonerant. The provisions are that a
adulterated wines shall bear a label stating that they are adultei
atetl, what the specific adulterants are and what quantity of eac
is iise<l per gallon. This will be a great help to the Ohio trad(
as it strikes a heavy blow at those houses who have been sellin
bogus wines under cover of the well-established reputation of th
Island and other Ohio wines.
Here is the way prohibition marches onward and upward
The receipts for Fed6ral liquor licenses in the I'nited StaU
revenue district com^wsing the northern half of Iowa in 1S8
were «14(),.r20.44. In 1890 the rweipts were $191,172.58 — ov*

VITieULTCJ-RE l/N MEXICO.
MoNTEMOKELOs, NuEvo Leon, Mexico, March 28, 1891.
Editor Wine and Spirit Review:— Your valuable paper has
(llowed me in my wanderings through various states of Northern
[exieo, and has afforded me an excellent opportunity of keeping
p the interest I always took in viticulture in California. Now
lat I have carefully selected a location in which to establish my-
iW permanently, I redeem my promise to you to write about the
idustry in Mexico.
Having come to Mexico with the purpose of engaging in vit-
iulture and horticulture, I naturallj' studied everything connected
■itli them with a keen interest and made it my business to col-
sct all the information obtainable. I spent nearly two years in
le center of the viticultural section of Mexico, which is Parras
1 the State of Coahuila. An idea can be had of the insignificance
f tlie wine and brandy products of Mexico, when it is considered
lat the whole product of the district of Parras in 1889 was less
lan one thousand tons of grapes, and that the same figure would,
isily cover the product of the rest of Mexico. After Parras, the
rincipal district, comes Quatre Cienegas, also in Coahuila, but
3me200 miles nearly due north of it, where several Italians have
lanted vines and dispose of their products mainly to the silver
lines near by. I should have stated here first that Parras is sit-
ted about one hundred miles east of Torreon, the junction of the
nteruatioual Mexican Railroad with the Mexican Central.
About twenty miles north of Torreon junction is now the larg-
3t vineyard in Mexico, consisting of more than half a million of
ine.s from one to three years of age, some of them from cuttings
nported fi-om California, others from Europe. Another exten-
ve vineyard set out three years ago, exists in the southern part
f the State of Chihuahua about two miles north of the station of
tiaz on tlio Mexican Central Railroad. This vineyard is the first
f the modern vineyards to give fruit, and I was agreeably sur-
rised to find in August last, some very nice bunches of Crabb's
iurgundy fit to eat. A very good stone cellar was recently built
lere, and it is stocked in part with excellent oak casks fi-om San
rancisco. There are a number of small vineyards scattered
long the foot of the mountain from Chihuahua to Lerdo, but they
re not sufficient to supply the demand for table grapes, conse-
aently it is usual to see them sold at nine to twelve cents per
ound.
The next important place for grapes, is Agua Caliente at
le junction of the Mexican Central with its line to San Luis
otosi and Tampico. There are many small vineyards here and
)me wine is made, but the distribution of both grapes and wine
scarcely sufficient for a few small towns accessible with the us-
al mode of transportation — donkeys.
Some excellent grapes and wines are produced in Cedros in the
orthern pai-t of the State of Zacatecas. The soil being thin and
lineral, the grapes are darker and the wine better than the aver-
se. There are several vineyards near San Luis Potosi that may
reduce in all seventy-five to one hundred tons of grapes, most
f which are retailed for the table and very little made into wine.
Several new vineyards were lately set out near Celaya in
aanajuato and in San Miguel de Allende and Dolores Hidalgo in
xe northern part of the same State. In this latter place the soil
nd climate are wonderfully well adapted to the production of
ne wine, and I do not wonder at all at the patriotic fire which
'as kindled in the breast of the hero of Mexican Independence
'hen it is remembered that he was the curate of this interesting
illage, and that he had his own private vineyard and private
iMlar.
With the exception of the most modern vineyards, the only
ariety grown in Mexico is the same old Mission gi-ape, and the
nly variation from that found in California is in the color which
1 lacking here generally on account either of the lack of irriga-
on or want of cultivation.
The modes of planting and cultivation in use here, are on a
par with the progress of agriculture which is simply nothing,
and the wonder of it is that nature persists in rewarding this apol-
ogy of iiidustry, by giving the people enough to subsist on. With
landn reasonably cheap, water in abundance, an excellent market
for wine, and brandies, it is a wonder that no more progress haa
been made in the establishment of viticulture.
In noting the diversified methods in use iu the vineyards and
in the cellars, I am reminded of a man lost in tlie woods who was
never known to stumble in the right road to his destination.
Yours sincerely,
L. D. Combe.
CALIFOK/NIA P-RODUCTS l/N
LO/NDO/S.
I looked in the offices of Mr. Hugo Lorcnz, of seven and
eight Idol Lane recently, when I had the pleasure of tasting sam-
ples of the California brandies distilled by Messi'S. Walden & Oo.
of Geyserville, Cal. The 1888, landed in July, 1889 is a specially
fine spirit, and should all the California brandies distilled be like
those of Messrs. Walden & Co., the sale of California brandies in
London would soon develop. The 1888 is an exceptionally
good spirit, and will probably greatly improve with age. I have
submitted samples of the Walden Cognac to several experts in
the trade, who were higlily pleased with them.
Messrs. Walden & Co. have appointed Mr. Lorenz their sole
agent and consignee in London and the south of England.
In 1886 large quantities of Italian brandy were shipped into
London, but nobody would purchase them, and, as a consequence,,
they were thrown on the market, where they had to be disposed
of by means of public auction, where they realized something like
Is. 6d. per gallon in bond. There is a good demand for Spanish
brandy at the moment, but this spirit, although very clean and
distilled from pure grapes, is not so near like the genuine cognac
as that distilled in California, and at a recent auction sale in Lon-
don some twelve butts of Spanish brandy only realized the small
sum of 1 s. 9d. to 2s. 3d. per gallon in bond.
In a recent sale of wines and spirits in Dublin by a firm of
brokers, amongst other parcels were some 100 casks and 187 doz-
ens of California wines, the prices realized being as follows: In.
bond, at per cask, 1 hogshead sherry, Is. duty, £3 5s.; 2 barrels
Madeira, £5 15s.; 4 barrels Muscatel, £2 7s. 6d.; 1 barrell sherry
£3 10s.; 8 barrels Angelica, £3 12s. 6d; 2 barrels Riesling, £1 8s.;
1 barrel port, £4 17s 6d.; 8 barrels port, £3 12s. 6d.; 1 barrel clar-
et, £3 2s. 6d.; 12 barrels claret, £3; 4 barrels Zinfandel, £3. 10s.,
19 barrels Hoch' 17 s.; and 5 barrels orange juice at £1 7s.
Bottled wines at per dozen (bottle Is. 6d.) — 35 dozen Ries-
ling, Is.; 30 dozen port, 4 s. 6d. to 4s. 7d.; 11 dozen claret, 5s. 6d.;
10 dozen Burgundy, 7s. 6d.; 60 dozen Hoch, 2s. 9d.
At another recent sale in London the following prices for Cal-
ifornia wines of the "Olivina Brand" were realized. The wines
were bottled at the vineyards, and are from 4 to five years old.

We niiy doubt thpsuc-L»s-t of the invention, but if wo aasunie

■todu will lie considerably re^luctHl, and the interest on the capi-
tal which thi-H»- repr«i«>nt, projs)rlionatcly d«>crea«ed. Moreover,
it i* claim«-<l that in employing IIofineister'H procenH, breakage is
neariy exdiideil if the bottles are of gtKxl (juality and able to
■tand the pnwHure of four atniosphen-w. This item of expense,
although ikr U-mh than in years gone by, owing to the iniprove-
mcvit whi(-h hai* taken plac(> in bottle manufacture, is Htill for-
midable, and it.H avoidance would still be a gain of no small
importance. This Iteing sr), it is at lea.st worth while to consider
whether the |iatent really d«t««-rveH serious (consideration or not.
Aerording to InMntioH, the wine thus made is wholly natural; no
ebemicaU or chemical combinations of any kind are used, but
only Buch elementi« a«« are to Ix- found in tin- j)ure«t I-Yench

champagne, with which it has \wvn cohiir-KhI a<lvantageou.sly in

"A recent special census bulletin on viticulture makes an en
eimraging showing for Georgia. We have heard so much al>ou1
the vineyards of California, that we have been lead to underrat<
the possibilities of this industry in our own State. It is true thai
California makes a specialty of viticulture, but the c-ensus repoi-1
brings out the astonishing fa^rt that, while the lowest averagi
yield is that of (Jeorgia. with 1.33 tons per acre, the market valui
of her grajM-s is the highest of all, l>eing $96 per ton. The Cali
fornia grapes command only 817. G6 per ton. Tennessee come*
next to Georgia, selling her grapes at 889 per ton. Anothei
point. Georgia wine briug^i the highest average price, $1.15 pei
giillon. If the figures in this report mean anything, they mean
that the grapes and wine of Georgia can be made to yield a hand-
some profit to thos'3 who are prepared to give the proper attention
to viticulture. Doubtless the strong temperance sentiment in thi.'
State ha.s had the effect of retarding the industry, but it shouli
1x3 recollected that many enlightened students of the drink prob-
lem hold that the cause of temperance will make a great stride
wlien our cheap and pure native wines drive out the fiery ami
adulterated wliisky and brandy now so generally consumed. Tliis
branch of tlie question, however, may be considered later. Tht
point of immediate interest is the census report's revelation, that
there is gold in Georgia grapes." — Atlanta Comtitution.
Don't be too fast about advising everybody to plant vines. Ii
is true Eastern wine producers get better prices than those of Cal-
ifornia, but then the E-astern men have plagues which we nevei
meet. There is a certain demand, too, for so much Eastern win«
and the limit can easily be exceeded. Then it will be found thai
over-production is just as great a curse in the East as it luu
proved to be here. And don't believe all that that report says

T-RABE ei-RCULA-RS.
Chicago, March, 1891:
To the Trade: — In order to keep in a measure abreast with the
8t(^adily advancing grain market, we are compelled to change our
schedule of prices, although this change does not by any means
cover the recent advance of all kinds of grain. We quote to take
efftict on and after Monday, March 30th, as follows: Spirits, 101
per cent., $1.14 proof gallons; spirits, 188 per cent., $1.12 proof
gallons; alcohol, 188 per cent., $2.10 wine gallons. All F. O. B.
Chicago. Terms, sight draft on bill of lading- In event of your
esteemed favors, we assure you of our faithful services, remaining.
Respectfully yours,
Calumet Distilling Co.
the ruling price, for April delivery, every manufacturer in our
line began taking orders for April on the same basis. In every
case, since that time when receiving orders for more syrup than
we thought our customers could use, we have advised them to
buy for immediate needs only, pending the reduction in price on
April Ist.
Trusting that if any of our customers among wholesale liquor
dealers or compounders have been induced to place their orders
elsewhere, owing to any misapprehension of fact«,they will coun-
termand such oi-ders, and mail them to us, just as they would
have done, had they not been imposed upon; we remain,
Youi-B very truly,
Dkyden & Palmer.
New York, March, 1891.
To the Trade: — On April 1st, rock candy syrup will be reduced
in price fifteen cents per gallon, and rock candy crystals two
cents per pound, at which prices, all manufacturers in our line
will be glad to sell the goods.
It has come to our notice that one of our many would-be com-
petitors has succeeded in indulging a few orders for syrup, from
regular customers of ours, by intimating that in making a reduc-
tion in the price, as above, for delivery in April, he was confer-
ring a great favor, and that no other manufacturer of rock candy
syrups intended making any reduction in price unless forced to
do so.
Our attention was directed to the neat little trick by the re-
ceipt of sevcj-al letters from good customers, having standing or-
ders for a stated number of barrels of syrup to be shipped each
month, requesting that we cancel such orders. Inquiry devel-
oped the fact that our enterprising (sic) competitor had either
written to or sent his agent everywhere among the trade, offering
inducements (?) as above narrated.
It gives us a great deal of pleasure to be able to state that in
every case where cancellations for April delivery occurred, orders
were allowed to stand, when our customers learned from us the
true state of the case. The facts are these: When, on February
15th, sugar refiners, imitating the action of Congress, in reducing
the duty on sugar at two cents per pound, to go into effect on
April 1st, began selling sugar at two cents per pound less than
East Cambridge, Mass., March, 1891.
To the Trade: — The Bay State Distillery (,'ompany has pur-
chased from Messrs. Sortwell & Co. all their superb distilling
property at East Cambridge, Mass., and all their stock of New
England rum (made in copper) on hand in bonded warehouses,
together with their accounts receivable, good will, and the busi-
ness just as it is now in operation. Everything will go on for
the present just as heretofore; all the operatives continue the
same as though no change of ownership had taken place, and
any changes that may be made hereafter will be positively in the
interest of improvement whereYcr we find it possible. Old brands
will be delivered to old customers if they so request.
The Bay State Distillery Company, with its great equipment
— superior to any and all others — and its abundant cash capital
to work with, will deliver to its patrons who favor the company
with their orders, nothing less than the best grade of New En-
gland rum that can be made in New England of the l)est molasses
stock and by the aid of the highest skill in the business. And
this we guarantee to every purchaser.
To the old customers of the house we wish to say that the
Bay State Company understands fully from Messrs. Sortwell &
Co. the spirit of the treatment they have heretofore extended to
their friends, and it shall be the pleasure of the company to con-
tinue such good treatment without any abatement whatever.
May we therefore ask the kindness of your continued favor?
Very truly yours.

During the lapse of the present prilific century the older indus-
trial arts have everywhere j,iven place to newer and more perfect
uu'th.Kls. The manufacture of alkali has been revolutionized by
the intrwluction of the ammonia proce.s», the fabrication of iunum-
enible dves from coal-tar has almost rendered ob.^olete the use of
coloring matters such as madder, obtiiiued by the cultivation of
plants or from animals. Even the pharmacist and the perfumer
th-pend much less than formerly upon the vegetable and animal
kingdoms, and iiidire<:tly .Iraw from the deep store-houses of the
iiiin.-ral worl.l. the odoriferous substances that minister to the
suppose.1 or real neces-sities .if humanity. These are but a few
examples among the many of wRat hsis Ijeen done, and it may
be that even foixl itself will sometime before long Ijecome a cheap
pr«iduct of the chemist's art. In the me^inwhile, whisky hsis
ilK'(!n left to the successors of the monks and alchemists, aided by
the mechanical engineer.
Let us, however, try to inuigiuc what might happen if soiiie
.lay or other, chemistry, wandering iu< is her wont, where steam
and smoke pollute the aii-, should set her foot once for all deter-
min.'dly inside the distillery. She will see the alcohol and the
fusel oil. and trace them into the bonded store, where, by the ac-
tion of time, they are slowly and wastefully converted into nia-
tur«Ml spirits. She will patiently nnravel the deliberate working
.)f natural oxidation, separate each resulting body and place it in
a vial, upon which she will set her sign manual of hieroglyphit*.
Then, seeing in each new substance some feature and lineament
of the parent, fusel, she will lock the door of this store, and re-
trace her f(M)tsteps to the still-room, where, standing at the right
hand of the distiller, she will turn the alcohol into one nn-eiver
an.I the fusel oil into another. Leaving the former under double
l(K-k t<i the care of the exciseman, she will take the latter to the lab-
orat.iry and thert^by fractionation, separate the higher akH)hols of
which it is con8titute<l. From thesi' she will prepare the acids, and
from them the corresponding ethers, performing in a week the

a way as to prtnluce the '•cr*»aniiness" or the "dryne88,"the "palate-

ORIGIN OF STHQ/NG LIQUORS. ETHER BRI/NKI/NG l/N~ IRELAAID.
strong liquors are a modern invention. The ancients knew
of nothincr more powerful than lightly fermented wines, and
have left warnings enough of tlie abuse of them. Alcohol was
not discovered till the seventh century, although an older story
exists of a monk. Marcus, wiio collected and condensed in wool
the steam of heated white wine and then pressed out fnmi the
wool a balsam which he applied to the wounds of those who fell
at the siege of Rheims, in the reign of Clovis I. He also mixed
this balsam with honey and produced a cordial which brought
the moril)und back to life. Clovis, however, did not wait for the
approach of death before claiming his share of the cordial. Ac-
cording to Dr. Stanford Chaele. the distillation of spirit from
wine was not discovered until the twelfth century, and spirits
did not come into common use until the fifteenth, sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. Professor Arnoldus Villanova, in the
fourteenth century, made a panacea of the water-of-life. which
gave sweet breath and fortified the memory, besides being good
for sore eyes, toothache and gout, and having othei- won(U^rful
properties.
Distilled spirits came into use in London in 1450, and had to
be prohibited in 1494. Michael Savonarola produced a treatise
on the making of the water-of-life in the fifteenth century, which
A startling statement has been laid before the Executive
Government of Ireland by Mr. Thomas Mackenzie I^dlie on the
subject of ether drinking in Ireland. Mr. Mackenzie Ledlie, who
has given the subject careful consideration, and has made an
extensive tour in the ether drinking distri<;t, gives some startling
facts in connection with this pi-actice. He <alculates that 17 000
gallons of im]>ure etlier of the vilest form is annually consumed
by the people; in the districts situated in the counties of Derry
and Tyrone, as well as parts of Armagh, Monaghan, and
Fermanagh . No fewer than 1 00,000 people, .spread over an infect-
ed area of 190,0)0 acres, indulge in the baneful habit. Mr. Ledlie
is of opinion that the practice is a degrading and demoralizing
one, and the effects upon the moral, social, intellectual, and physi-
cal welfare of the nation are baneful in the extreme. He suggests
six ways of getting rid of the practice, the chief of which maybe
summarized as follows:— The introduction of naphtha into the
preparation of all ether, save that used purely for medicinal
purposes, wliich would give it a nauseating odor and taste; the
re-imposition of a prohibitive tax, which was taken off the liquid
by the A^t of eigat^an and ninet33ii Victoria, and the making of
the practic3 illegal, and placing it on the criminal code, as well
became a standard authority on the subject, and was followed bv ^^ f °'^«"'ig t'\e-«'^»« "f ether illegal by all persons save chemists,
theworkofMatthioli, of Sienna. These books gave the start '^ '"' '''' of persons only for bona fide mediem&l or
of brandy nwking in Italy, whence the trade extended to France.
About 1520 the Irish usquebaugh began" to acquire reputation in
England. Before 1601 " brand-wine " had begun to be distilled
in the Low Countries from apples, pears and malt ; and in that
year an ordinance was passed at Tournay forbidding the sale of
the liquor except by apothecaries, '• partly because of the dear-
aess of corn and partly because of the drunkenness which this
I Bheap brand-wine caused, to the great prejudice not alone in
liomes and lives, but to the extreme danger of the souls of its
Iriukers, many of whom had died without confession."
commercial purposes. It is understood that the Government will
at no distant dat J, take steps for carrying out one or more of the
suggestions of Mr. Mackenzie Ledlie. It is now recognized that
this vice must be promptly and effectually dealt with.

ALCOHOL l/N WI/NE.
Many chemists believe that alcohol does not exist in a free
iiate in wine. They rest their theory on the fact that profes-
sional tasters will readily discover even the smallest addition of
spirit to a liquid. It has been, however, clearly demonstrated
that alcohol forms an obsolute constituent of wine. The marked
flavor noticeable in alcohol may be less attributed to the latter
than to the foreign substances that adhere to alcohol, even
luring distillation. If we could obtain an alcohol perfectly free
Trom these flavors, its artificial presence in wine would be no
more noticeable than its natural existence in the same. It is
isod by many to veil defects in wine. Although the flavor, the
-te, and, iu a few instances the color, determine to a certain
ifnt the commercial value of wines, the refreshing and stiniu-
iug properties imparted to it by its natural alcohol are, to no
iill degree, amongst the most important factors to its pecuniary
' cess. In most instancas nature provides sufficient spirit in
\viiie to preserve it, and where, in spite of this state of things,
^\ ine degenerates within a short period, it may be owing to a
■ '■i-k of tannin, or some other defect in its constituent parts
^\ liich can be found out and, in most cases, rectified by scientific
""luiry. ^^ •
From a Consular report, we learn that the total value of
ivine exported from Spain in 1889 touched the sum of over
11,300,000/. The wines, with their values, may be clsssed as
■"Hows: Common red wine, 10,000,000?; sherry, 1,000,000/;
\'iaogenero.so,'" .30!),000/. The very large supply of common
ed wine sent to France is used there for blending purposes with
iM-ench wines. Nearly all the sherry wine and the "generoso,"
■vluch is of much stronger quality, finds a market in England. —

ACIST-RALIAM BKA/NDg.
Messrs. Joshua Bros., distillers, Melbourne, have decided to
open up a new branch of Victorian industry, in the shape of the
manufacture of brandy from Australian wines. The firm has
been engaged in the preparation of the spirit for over two years,
and has in stock about 150,000 gallons of br.indj-. The system
used by MessKS. Joshua Bros, is supervised by experts from
Europe, and the machinery is of the most complete character.
The opening-up of this industrj' should have a good effect upon
the wine growers, as during the past two years Messi-s. Joshua
Bros, have purehas'd nearly all the wine on offer from the
Eutherglen district.

The following report of the Committee of the Kansas Assem-
bly, which has been investigating the working of the prohibitory
law in that State, embodies some of the views we liave frequently
1 A pressed on this topic: "We have heard no testimony that induc-
frt us to believe that the prohibitory laws have been enforced in
any city of the State through the agency of the metropolitan
police or any other machinery of the law. In all the cities lines,
or forfeited recognizances called fines, are imposed. There is
usually no other punishment inflicted. The statute which impos-
es a one-hundred-dollar fine and imprisonment for selling intox-
iiated li([uors is abrogated by ordinances that impose fines of
1 wenty-five dollars to one hundred dollars without imprisonment
and recognizance being forfeited. The offense itself is thereby
I Diiipromised in a manner which, if done by any other official
action, would be a criine. The more vigorous the effort made to
lutbrce prohil)ition in the cities, the more irresponsible and de-
l)ased are the men engaged in the traffic, the more deceptive are
their devices, and secluded their places of business."
Be not restrained from the use of p'lre, natural wine by any
prejudices or religious misconceptions. Solomon said: "Drink
thy wine with a merry heart" (Ecc. ix., 7), King David sang
praises to God for "the good wine that rejoiceth the heart of
man" (Ps., e. iv., 15), and even Jesus Him.self drank a cup of
wine with His disciples when taking leave of them," and at the
Wedding Feast of Cana, Himself provided the wine.
FU/SGUS "DISEASES.
The United Stivtes Depaitment of Agriculture has just issued
a special bulletin (No. 4) on "the Fungus Diseases of the Grape
and Tlieir Treatment." The work is l)y B. F. Galloway the Chief
of the Division of Vegetable I'atliology. As there are but four
fungoid diseases which oct^asion sufficient damage to warrant
s|>eciai attention, the Imlletin is confined to these four— peronos-
pera. powdery miklew, black rot and anthracnose. The bulletin,
which is one of twelve pages can Ije had by addressing the United
States Department of Agriculture.
THEg A-RE LEA-R/NI/NG.
C'alifornia, after many failures, is siiid to be turning out a
really wholesome and fitirly good chami)agne. Of course, it is
not etiual in delicacy of flavor to the best French brands, but
the Califoruian wine-makers hope to improve the quality with
practice. Meanwhile, seeing tliat no really good French cham-
pagne can l)e bought in the States under four dollars to five dol-
laj-s (say £1) a bottle, it is no wonder that the sale of the Cali-
forniitn substitute is largely increasing.— Bretwrie* aiid Distilleries,
London.
The good news spreads slowly but it is evidently extending
across the water. It may surprise our London contemporary to
know that this same California champagne is being successfully
introduced in London itself and that English connoisseurs speak
highly of it. For fiirther pai-ticulars we Would refer Breweries
awlDiMUlerle^i, with our compliments, to Messrs. Grierson, Oldham
&Co., 11 Regent street, 8. W.'
MARCH TRADE.
March was pre-eminently a month for moving wine, in spite
of the many complaints made by the trade that times were dull.
Tlie overland shipments were 4121: casss and 615,509 gallons, and
the sea exports were remarkably heavJ^ The extent of the trade
is shown by the following tables :

Grand Total 4,6.53 1.052,289 ^
Estimating the value of the overland shipments at four dol-
lars psr case and forty cent.^ par gallon for bulk wines, the total
value of the shipments domestic and foreign is $470,787. This
is a truly remarkable showing for the month of wine.
Turkish wines must be added to the long list of wines now
imported into France. A French correspondent on the Darde-
nelles cites the rise in price of Turkisli wines from 18-19 francs-
per hectolitre in 1S87-S to 21-23 fiancs in 1888-9. Tlie annual-
production of fine dark-red Turkish wine is 150,000 to 200.000
iiectolitrcs. It much resembles Greek and Dalmatian wine of
the cliiss. The chief wine districts are in Roumelia, on the Sea
of Mamoni. where are 3.000 hectares of vineyards (of which two-
thirds produce red and the remaining tliird a much-esteemed
white wine); Anatolia; the .Gulpli of Isniid, and Tenetlos. In-:
ferior red wines are produced in many piTrts of Roumelia, Anato-
lia and Macedonia.

MA-RKET -REVIEW.
/©ALIFORNIA WINES— There is little to say regarding
^) the situation in the market regulating transactions between
first and second hands, other than that there is nothing new to
report. On the other hand, trade in the East, the Pacific Islands
and Southern countries is steadily improving and must eventual-
ly bring about a much needed improvement in the local market.
The exports for April, overland, were still greater than those of
the preceding month, the total reaching the handsome and hith-
erto unequaled figure of 645,224 gallons and 3363 cases. Ex-
ports of wine by sea during the first week of May were : To
New York, 27 cases and 480,310 gallons ; to Central America,
12,723 gallons and 581 cases ; to Mexico, 19 cases and 2962 gal-
lons ; to Honolulu, 8798 gallons and 30 cases , to British Colum-
bia, 665 gallons and 33 cases ; to China and Japan, 1577 gallons
and 22 cases. Miscellaneous foreign shipments, 29 cases and
H014 gallons, making the total sea exports for the fortnight 741
cases and 515,059 gallons, which shows a good healthy export
movement.
Sweet wines are doing fairly well, stocks of well made goods
holding firm and being in good demand.
Receipts of all wines in San Francisco from the interior, for
the first 15 days of May, were 746,316 gallons. Brandy receipte
for the same period were 20,770 gallons.
/©ALIFORNIA BRANDIES— The market is firm and gives
^^ every indication of not only remaining so, but of improv-
ing. The demand is fully as active as it has been for several
months past and a good healthy volume of business is being done
both from first and second hands. Ruling prices for '908 at dis-
tilleries are 40 cents naked, which is equal to 45 to 49 cents with
cooperage transportation, etc., chargable to buyers; all of which
indicates a slight improvement in the situation. Exports over*
land for the month of April aggregated 199 oases and 44,561
gallons. By sea to domestic points during the fortnight, 20,727
gallons ; by sea to foreign ports, 12 cases and 131 gallons.
Through an error in the report from the 4th District we are un-
able to present the production of bonded goods in that district.
The product in the First District for April was 34,199 gallons j
and the total of all bonded stocks in the State on April 80th, as
per official reports piiblished elsewhere, was 1,414,559 gallons.
^j^ENTUCKY BOURBONS— The local whisky trade is in
^^^ a fairly healthy condition, considering the dullness pre-
vailing in all other lines of trade. Owing to the immediate de-
mands for money to harvest and move the big crops that are now
at hand, money is scarce and collections correspondingly slow.
Notwithstanding the occasional ominous reports that come from
the East regarding the whisky market the Coast trade pin their
faith to the '89s and regard them as first-class property that has
a bright future. The '90s are not very popular here, but appear
to have a slightly better standing than they had a few months
ago. As to '91s the attitude of the trade here as elsewhere is
that of hands off', and goods of this age not of standard brand
will not receive a very cordial welcome in this territory. Hand-
lers of re-impoi-ted goods report trade good and prices all that
could be expected. Receipts of whisky during the fortnight by
rail were 503 cases, 703 barrels, and of spirits 1383 barrels.
*7^ YES — The market situation presents nothing new in ryes.
J^^ The volume of trade holds about the same and notwith-
standing the allegations of over-production, prices of well-estab-
lished brands hold firm.
•R EACH I /S G~OUT IM~ E/N G L A/S D,
We have appointed Mr. Alfred M. MacGrotty of Chesterfield
House, 98 Great Tower Street, London, as our agent for the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. At the same
time we have appointed a regular correspondent in London, who
is an editor of one the foremost traile journals in the world.
This step in entering the English field was rendered a nec-
essity in view of the extension of the California wine and brandy
trade abroad and the ever-increasing interest felt in California in
the foreign markets.
We trust that the new news service will be of value to oui*
patrons.

Copies of Mr. D. Bankhardt's able article on the possibility
if ci-eating an export trade in wines to France, have been sent
I) Secretary Blane for his perusal, by several houses in the local
lade. We know of at least four letters which have been sent
>\ as many different firms. A portion of a letter which we ad-
Inssed to him at the request of several members of the trade
is as follows:
■'It would appear that a splendid market for our poorest
grades of wine is to be found in France if the French Govern-
ment can be prevailed upon to reduce the retaliatory duty.
An examination of the French statistics or of a recent re-
port by the American Consul at Bordeaux will convince you
that France is an exceedingly heavy buyer of foreign wines for
Mending purposes. Until recently nearly all except the Algerian
w in I's came from Italy. Now the F'rench blenders have had to
1 11 111 from Italian wines and seek others on account of the altered
I'oinmercial relations with Italy. At present much wine is ob-
tained from Spain, a little from Italy and some from Turkey.
( J recce and other countries. It would seem a fine market would
()|)eu to California producers were the French duty lower. Our
wines are admirably adopted for blending with the light French
fiidwths. As a class the clarets are full bodied, fine in color and
inn high in alcohol qualities which the French buyers seek above
all others. That section of the Sweet Wine Law which forms
part of the McKinley Bill, which permits the fortification of dry
w iiies for export, free from the payment of the Internal Revenue
ta\ im brandy or graps spirit so used, is an additional advan-
tage in our favor.
Concessions from France in this respect would be especially
welcome at this time. The domestic wine business is in a
wretched condition at present, in spite of the fact that not one
gallon in eight drunk in this country is foreign wine and that
our national imports are no larger than forty years ago. Over
production is the secret of our troubles.
There is no doubt that once the French blenders become used
to our wines and are assured of steady commercial relations, the
sale of California wines will grow rapidly. France could easily
take many times the present production of California wines an-
nually, and were relations established which could make expor-
tations possible our industry would not only be placed on a satis-
factory basis but would be extended in every particular."
SIG. HHEI/NST-ROM IM TOW/N.
Sig Rheinstrom, of the well-known Cincinnati house of
Rheinstrom Bros., is on the Coast and during the past fortnight
has passed much of his time flitting from San Francisco to the
Hotel del Monte at Monterey with his young w^ife, to whom he
was married only last March.
Mr. Rheinstrom does not take the extreme pessimistic view
of the market which is shared by many of the alarmists. "Busi-
ness is really not in the desperate state that some of the more
easily frightened members of the trade would have us believe"
said he recently. "The course of trade is running along very
smoothly and the whisky market should ere long be in a fair
condition. It is very generally recognized that the high price of
corn has been one of the principal causes of the salvation of the
business and if corn only keeps up, as it has every indication of
doing, a short crop of whisky is assured in 1892. Distillers will
make big runs when corn is low no matter how squally trade
appears. It is my own opinion that very little cheap early ma-
turing whiskies will be made in Kentucky in 1892; though there
is no reason in shortening to any marked degree on the estab-
lished brands of recognized merit.
"I find that there is a very general inclination among dealers
the country over to look upon '89s as very good properties indeed,
especially in view of the light stocks of older whiskies. The '90s
are regarded with some suspicion and the '9l8 are religiously
avoided. The aversion with which the '91s are regarded at
present will necessarily force the distillers to carry them. This
will not be felt so much by those distillers who have goods fit for
ageing but it will t«ll on the others.
"Altogether I anticipate a light crop of '928 and general
prosperity among the trade and the distillers."
Messrs. Barrett & Co., of "Barrett's Unrivalled" prune juice,
have recently issued a post card to their friends in the trade, in
which they say:
"The importance of using an absolutely pure and perfect
prune juice is not to be over-estimated, yet, occasionally, we
hear of a firm buying outside brands, because they are repre-
sented to be like 'Barrett's Unrivalled,' and at a lower price.
"The ablest blenders, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, know
from experience that there is only one perfect prune juice; that
one is 'Barrett's Unrivalled,' and no such value as we are now
shipping has ever before been offered to the trade.

Alfred Sanderson is authorized to collect all accounts, and

Refering to the above I beg to announce that I have opened
an office at 19 and 21 Wabash avenue, Ceylon Building, under

ing the whisky brokerage business.
My past experience in the business, together with the fact
that I have had entire charge of and transacted the business of
Sanderson & Co., for the past 18 months, should be sufficient rea,-
son for asking a continuance of the favors bestowed upon me by
my friends here, and elsewhere.
The new firm will be pleased at all times to execute orders
entrusted to their care, in the most prompt and satisfactory
manner. Respectfully yours,

Mr. C. C. Mclver says that the orders received from the
Pullman Company for his wines, exceed the most sanguine ex-
pectations he entertained when his wines were first adopted by
the company. He says that new trade is constantly springing
up in consequence of having his wines in the dining cars.
"Ever since I was East last year," he says, "I have been con-
vinced that an unlimited market is to be found for good bottle ripe
wines in the territory east of the Rockies. My opinion is that
too much stuff has been placed on the Eastern market and too
little time and study has been given to the actual wants of the
consumer. I have no difficulty at all in getting remunerative
rates for bottle ripe wines or bottled wines of the best type and
it seems to me that no one else efjuipped with a stock of good
wines should meet with any difficulty.
"I am more than pleased with the result of the venture on
the Pullman cars and with the experiment of selling my own
wines."

/NEVEH LEA-R/NS, MEVEH FOH-
GETS.
We have had the pleasure, during the fortnight, of tasting
a bottle of "Eclipse" that Col. Arpad Haraszthy is now shipping,
and it gives us sincere pleasure to say that it is by far the best
wine of the class that we have ever seen shipped from California.
It is perfectly sound, of good body, well blended, admirable
Ijouquet, fine, clean, of good flavor, and will hold its own in com-
parison with any American, German and many French sj)ark-
ling wines. Dear brethren of the press, in copying this, do not
say that we have said that the Eclipse is as good as any cham-
pagne; it isn't, but it is a good wine that does credit to the
grower, blender and handler, and it deserves praise and success.
— BonforU.
Poor old Leoser ! He had to admit that Eclipse is worth
notice even if the notice was not soothed with the balm of an
"ad." Leoser is a fine old Spartan. He never forgets and he
rarely learns. He has learned a little though it seems.

Julius P. Smith has not yet returned from his Eastern trip.
J. Leo Lilienthal, of Lilienthal & Co., has gone East on
business.
Edward Walden, Jr., of Walden & Co., is on the Coast on a
business trip.
Captain H. B. Hunt, of Moore, Hunt & Co., has joined the
Union League Club.
J. H. Mundy, of Jones, Muudy & Co., has gone east on a
two months' business trip.
P. Musto, the well-known Stockton producer, has appointed
Achille Starace as his agent in New York.
Attention is called to the advertisement of a Chicago broker,
elsewhere. He desires to handle only the best wines.
■I Ernest Dichman, of New York, head of the Edge Hill Vine-
yard Co., is in the State on his annual business trip.
Capt. J. Chamon de St. Hubert reports a prosperous spring
trade. The California Wine Growers' Union is in able hands,
evidently.
The Viticultural Commissioners are making a series of experi-
ments to determine the value of alternating electric currents in
clarifying wine.
John D. Siebe is rapidly making for himself a reputation as
the most efficient Assessor the city ever had. We said he would
long before the election.
Martin Hencken expects to spend the summer — or part of it
—at Paraiso Springs. He will be accompanied by Col. Koster of
barrel fame. What a team I
F. A. Haber, the agent for the Inglenook wines, will ship
about 2500 cases of wine east this month. One recent ship-
ment to New York alone was over 1000 cases. *
E. H. Taylor Jr., the well-known Kentucky distiller, has
just returned to Frankfort from his trip to Florida and the South
in better health than he has enjoyed for years.
William Wolff & Co. imported 4250 cases of Pommery
champagne in April. That fact alone speaks wonders for the
popularity of the wine and the skill with which it is handled.
Harris, Kingston & Keynolds are building up a fine business
since they moved into their large and well equipped quarters on
Eddy street. Good business management and good wines will
always win.
Joseph Melczer & Co. are having the best spring trade ever
known since the firm was organized. Joseph and William
Melczer know how to catch on with their customers and their
success is deserved.
Eeports from Col. Herman Bendel indicate that the Natoma
Vineyard Co. will be a large factor in the future in the New
York market. The wines of the company have taken well
wherever introduced in the East.
" Jesse Moore " has been introduced into the Cosmos club,
one of the most exclusive organizations on the Coast. What is
more, " Jesse Moore " was introduced without special solicitation.
That speaks volumes for its merits.
During the past fortnight Geo. West & Son dispatched a
special train of ten cars of wine to the Sonoma Wine & Brandy
Co., of New York. This will be followed up by a further ship-
ment of five cars to the same company.
It is understood that H. W. Crabb's To-Kalon- wine depot
will be moved to the new Crocker building as soon as that
structure is completed. A Market street frontage adapted to the
cased goods family trade will be secured.
C. Holtum & Co. are doing finely in their new quarters at
100-102 First street. Mr. Holtum's push and enterprise are
building up a splendid reputation for his house. The new vaults
are well adapted to the wants of his trade.
John Carroll, father of George and the late Richard T.
Carroll, of Carroll & Carroll, died recently at his apartments at
the Palace Hotel. The deceased was 73 years of age. He came
to California in 1850 and soon accumulated a handsome fortune.
Notwithstanding the general quietness of trade William
Wolff & Co. report that their straight whiskies are selling
rapidly. The firm has no cause for complaint either with these
goods or with the large lot of re-imported whiskies recently re-
ceived from Bremen.
W. B. Chapman has recently imported an extensive line of
foreign still wines and the ever popular "Perrier Jouet" cham-
pagne. Mr. Chapman understands thoroughly the art of placing
his wines before the highest class of consumers and to this fact
his success is in no little degree due.
The trade has it that Ronald G. McMillan the well-known
specialty dealer will soon go on one of those hunting trips which
have made him famous. McMillan knows how to have a good
time when he, gets in the mountains and this may be considered
as a warning to game to take to the thick brush.
The business of the Johannaberg Wine Depot at 565 Market
street, which was formerly conducted by F. Rosenbaum, the
owner of the vineyard in Napa county, has been purchased by
Holtum Bros, who propose to conduct the establishment on a
first-class basis.
The California Wine Growers Union shipped two carloads
of cased "St. Hubert Cognac" East during the past fortnight.
The "St. Hubert Cognac" which is blended and bottled under
the direct supervision of Capt. J. Chamon de St. Hubert is evi-
dently making as many friends in the East as it is in California.
Naber, Alfs & Brune report a steadily increasing business.
The volume of their trade for the first four months of 1891 was
away and above the trade for the corresponding period in 1890.
Not a little of their success is due to thorough and judicious ad-
vertising of "Phoenix" old Bourbon and the other excellent
goods carried by the firm.
It is said that the purchasers of the Monticello distillery have
formed a company under the title of "The Monticello Co." with
Mr. Bernard Calm, of the firm of Cahn, Belt & Co., as president,
but it is not yet certain when operations will be commenced.
Doubtless, the advanced period of the season and the high price
of rye will exert some influence.
Fi'ash & Co., of New York the well-known bottlers of Amer-
ican sparkling wines, having added largely to their facilities of
late, are now in a position to offer to the trade matured wines,
under their well-known brand of Imperial Cabinet Extra Dry,
at very &vorable prices. They also put up their American
sparkling wines under special brands in lots of not less than
fifty cases.
Messrs. Charles Meinecke & Co. inform us that according to
the estimates of J. R. Parkington & Co., the total quantity of
champagne forwarded from the champagne districts for the year
ending March 31st amounted to 25,776,194 bottles (the largest
quantity on record) being an increase of 2,451,623 bottles, as com-
pared with 1890. Present stocks in cask and bottles equal about
110,256,000 bottles, or about five years consumption.

lK'<'onie sole agents for the I'nited States, except Pennsylvania
and Haltimore, of the well-known Belle of Nelson owned and
lM»ttle<l by the Belle of Nelson Distilling Company of Louisville.
The whisky is case*! and shipped direct from the distillery and
is guaranteed to be ten years old before being bottled. An emi-
nent Louisville physician whose reputation is national says: "I
can nH'OHjniend the Belle of Nelson as being thoroughly well
made, honest straight and mellow, and for these reasons being
esiRfially fitte<l as a remedy where alcohol is needetl."
The amount involved in the caae of Taylor vs. Stagg, it is
said, will aggregate about a quarter of a million. The case will
now Ih' carried to a higher court, and many years will probably
elapse before a final settlement is had, although a bond for the
full amount will have to be given and sureties will need to qualify
for as much niore. One effect of this decision will be the pusb-
iug of other and somewhat similar suits. It will be well for dis-
tillers and dealers to read carefully and preserve this decision,
for, if sustained, it must hereafter bring about the exhibition of
less lax practices than have heretofore existed in the use of
names and trade-marks on whiskies.
AMAHEIM -DISEASE.
J. Cazad, of Lapresa, San Diego County, has announced to
the Viticultural Commissioners a new and, he claims, a certain
remedy and preventative of the Anaheim Disease. The matter
will probably be investigated by Viticultural Commissioner J. De
Bartli Shorb. Mr. Cazad claims to have twelve acres under suc-
eossful treatment.

[regulak correspondence.]
Chicago, May 9, 1891.
"The spring time has come, gentle Annie," "tra-la," etc.,
and as a result the picnic, baseball and racing season has opened,
and that means increased business for the wine and liquor men
of Chicago. The racing season is especially good for them. I
am told that the state of the weather at this time, whether it is
warm or cool, makes a vast diflference in the volume of the sea-
son's business.
There is no change in the wine market since my last letter,
but that is a good report to be able to make, for so long as there
is no change it is not getting any worse, and that is something to
rejoice about. The fact is that the goods are finding a more
ready and steady market than they did a year ago; arid by this
time next year at the present rate of increase in demand and
consumption, the trade will be something to be truly proud of.
While not saying it in any invidious sense at all, the fact is
that To-Kalon goods are meeting with an unexpectedly large
run. This is readily accounted for on the gi-ound that this extra
trad« is simply the harvest from the advertising done at the
Exposition here last fall. Mr. Crabb has not been any more nig-
gardly about advertising his goods than he has about any other
part of his successful business, and the large trade which he en-
joys is but the legitimate result of his liberal policy. All the other
California wine dealers report an increasing demand for their
goods, and say they are satisfied with the way things are going
in their line.
California brandy is still in big demand. The people of
Chicago don't seem to have awakened to the fact that there ever
was any California brandy until lately, and now that they have
learned of its existence, they want it and want lots of it, and
what is best of all, want it "just awful bad." This is all the bet-
ter for the producers out in California, provided they can always
keep things as well in hand as they are at this time. The
amount of future output is not apt to break the market nor
weaken the demand for the brandy, but the temptation to adul-
terate or to try to work off inferior and low grade goods will be
enhanced just in proportion to the extra demand, and the increase
in price, and that is what will give California brandy a black eye
quicker than anything else. It is because the goods are pure
that California wines are as much sought for as they are, and it
behooves all producers of California goods to see to it that her
present reputation is maintained.
While the general market is reported as quiet by the whole-
salers and jobbers, yet there is a considerable doing. All the
traveling men who have been here for the past month have been
able to place fair orders, and some have done extra well.
Despite the present overstocked and congested condition of
the whisky market the Wine and Spirit Bulletin of Louisville,
takes a very cheerful view of the future outlook. This is the
way that it reasons: " We find that the scarcity of the older
goods will serve to keep the '89 crop at about present market
values. Though the '90 crop is in excess of any immediate de-
mand, yet it was made of such cheap stock that nothing made
later can begin to compete with it. The ruling and prospective
price of corn and other grains will doubtless deter the majority
of distillers from running this season, and the result will be a
nearly bare market of '91s. From this it will be seen that there
is but little to fear from a declining market in whisky."
An effort is being made to have a full exhibit of Kentucky
whiskies made at the World's Fair in '93. It will doubtless be
one of the most striking features of the exposition, as the exhibi-
tors will all be men of wealth, and will have an ambition to
outdo all creation. The California wine men should see to it
that their Kentucky friends do not take off the palm in the way
of an exhibition of liquid products.
In 1859 T. G. Shaw, an English traveler, visited California
and like all his kind who have followed after him, be published
a book. In it he says: "California seems better adapted to pro-
ducing wines. Its best known growths are Angelico (sec) Aliso
porto, and champagne. One firm — Sausserain & Co. — is stated
to have produced in 1858, 9,400 gallons white and 4,000 red
Aliso, 9,000 Angelico, 1,900 of brandy; in all 23,000 gallons. It
is stated that in the district of Angeles there were produced in
the same year about 200,000 gallons of wine of various qualities."
Turning to the census figures given in the Pacific Wine and
Spirit Review of April 18th, it will be seen that California in
1889, produced 14,626,000 gallons of wine. That is quite an ad-
vance over the reported yield of 1868, and will serve to show
how the industry has grown in the State despite all it has had to
contend with.
The Western Wine MerehanVs and Brewer's Gazette made its bow
to the public about the middle of April. It is published by
Adams & Corbett, and presents a very creditable and financially
healthy appearance. There is doubtless a good field for such a
publication in Chicago.
The well-known firm of Sanderson and Nolan has been dis-
solved by mutual consent, and Mr. Nolan has opened an office at
19-21 Wabash avenue.
Julius P. Smith, of the Olivina Vineyard, Livermore, is in
Chicago looking after a few orders in the way of introducing the
wines of the Livermore valley to the eastern public.
I visited the Chicago branch sales rooms of the Gast Wine
Company of St. Louis, the other day, and sampled some of their
vintage. It was the first domestic wine I had ever tasted that
had not been grown in California, and I must say that I was
greatly pleased with its flavor and bouquet. Judging from the
fact that there were seven packages in a row all addressed to
"Reverends" I took it for granted that the Gast people had a
monopoly of the ministerial trade of the whole Mississippi valley.
A sign painted in large flaming colors over the entrance to
the California restaurant and cafe announces to the public that
it will be opened for business on May 16th. Mr. Franckx is
making arrangements for a grand opening. He will have the
whole California colony present and in flowing bumpers of ruby
wine the "boys" will drink to the days of o".d, the days of gold,
the days of '49.
One of the Nestors and most respected members of our trade,
Mr. Elias Block, of Cincinnati, stopped over for a few hours in
Chicago, and during his brief sojourn all those who had a chance
to meet him, were pleased to observe how gently time was deal-
ing with him, both mentally and in his physique. Few men
have been more fortunate in having raised a family so well able
to relieve him from a large share of the burdens of so extensive
a commercial enterprise. Four such co-operators as Louis, Sara
and Joe Block, his sons, and Mack, his son-in-law, can well fill
any parent's breast with justifiable pride.
Mr. Ernest Dichman, the President of the Edge Hill Wine
Co., New York, on his way to California, stayed over in this city
for a couple hours, but of course his time was too brief to make
any calls on the customers of his house. We hope that on his
return he will find time to circulate among his friends in this
section, who would be glad to see him.
We understand that the Calumet Distilling Co. is so rushed
with business that they have had to refuse upon several occasions
to accept orders, unless the would-be buyers are willing to wait
until such time as the company can fill them. This house has,
like Chicago, had a really remarkably rapid rise, and richly de-
serves it.
Henry H. Shufeldt is in Florida, and we are glad to learn
that he is deriving much benefit from the change.

In speaking to a memljer of the trade recently he stated the
great drawback in the sale of California brandies was that
through the Merchandise Mark act of 1887 they could only be
d.«crilK'd a« California brandy in the United Kingdom and not
as Califoniia Cognac as in the United States. There is in my
opinion nothing to stop the sale simply because they cannot be
des<.ribe<l as Cognac. I say place the brandies on their own
merits, and call them California. They are worthy of it, and
as before stated with hard work will prove a complete success.

CiNcrNNATi, May 10, 1891.
Concerning the condition of the trade in general, since our
last letter to your valued journal, we have nothing of any im-
portance to communicate to you.
Trade is not as brisk as we anticipated, owing to various
causes. Nevertheless we anticipate a healthy market and fair
prices, especially for '898 and older goods. The handlers of re-
tail trade in this and other cities are comparatively busy filling
orders, trade having increased.
The '9 Is are still in the hands of the distiller, and there are
yet no takers for the goods. We think they will be very largely
the holders of the "91 crop. Vast quantities of the '90 crop have
gone into consumption, which will make that crop a good invest-
ment and good property this fall.
Eastern ryes of all ages are still dull, but, most likely will
hold their own for the present. We know of several brands o!
same that are firm, high and scsirce.
We note the arrival of several car lots of California wine*
during the last fortnight, and we regard that trade as thriving
Prices are firm and sale* etjual to that of last year. As the warn
weather advances on us the demand for California wines w il
still increase and buyers will purchase more freely of that com
modity.
Houses engaged in the case goods business and manufactur
ing of cordials, and summer beverages are very busy and are no
complaining of a lack of orders.
The season has about closed for distilling, and most of th
houM's have shut down their distilleries. The production of th
coming year will be far less tliau that of the present one, and a
soon iw this fact lHMX)mes known and verified, we will see trad
better.
Mr. G. P. Set^ley, representing Culbert & Taylor of Nei
York, was with his trade the last fortnight. He succeeded i
placing with the comijounders st^veral goo<l orders.

lie largest single bill of whisky in his six years' experience on

THE p-RESmE/NTlAL BA/NQUET.
Shas. A. Wetmore Reviews the Action of the Banquet
Gommittee.
[special correspondence.]
LoTiisviLLE, Ky., May 7, 1891.
I was verj' much elated when receiving the returns from the
111 k'ctor of Internal Revenue as regards the withdrawals of Ken-
uiky whiskies during the month of March. We have unbonded
it 'S8s and '89s together in March 797,000 gallons. On the 1st
if May we had in bond of '88 goods less than one million gallons,
mil of the '89s about fourteen million gallons.
The quantity of '89 goods will be reduced to about seven
uid one-half million gallons by March 1, 1892, the time '89 goods
,\ ill be due for tax paying, and we can feel to-day already an ad-
rancQ of some brands of '89s.
All the standard brands of sweet mashes are held firm at
ifty-two and one-half to fifty five cents, and I think those goods
*ill be worth from sixty to sixty-five next spring. Some brands
)f the '89 sour mashes have advanced from two and one-half to
lev en and one-half cents during the last three weeks and we look
"or further advances as '89 sour mashes have been heavily un-
)onded during the last two months.
According to the statistics compiled by Mr. Geo. C. Bu-
ihanan the stock of export whiskies has been reduced since the
irst of October 1890, 19,425 barrels. The stock of all ages of
jxport goods to-day consists of 41,109 barrels of which 17,282
jarrels are '80s, '81s and '82s. The balance 23,827 barrels con-
iists of '83s, '848, '85s, '86s and '87s.
The largest part of all the exported goods will be consumed
within the next ten months and the oldest goods which will then
;ome into consideration, will be the few million gallons of '89s
eft in bond by that time, and their intrinsic value must be ob-
vious to every body even if only slightly acquainted with the in-
lide of the business.
A large number of distillers have closed their houses and
ihe balance will soon have to follow suit; if it were not for the
slop contracts no distillery would be running to-day as the owners
are losing money on account of the excessive high prices on corn.
A meeting of the Kentucky distillers was called at the Gait
■oase and an organization was formed under the name of "Ken-
■cky Distillers Association." This association will make efforts
tttwards curtailing production of Kentucky whiskies.
f H. M.
A eOMME/N-DABLE ACTIO/N.
Attention is called to the trade circular of R. Monarch,
which appears elsewhere, relative to the fact that the crop of this
season is half of the ordinary output. It is safe to say that the
conservative action of Mr. Monarch in reducing the production
of the brands which he controls, will meet with due approval
from his customers and the holders of the whiskies older than
'91s. If every distiller in Kentucky had conducted his operations
this year on the same safe and thoughtful plan, there would be
no wail of distress over the inability to di.spose of '91s and the
dullness in '90s such as is now heard in the land.
The holders of Mr. Monarch's whiskies can have no reason
to be afraid of the outcome of their investments.
The surprising conduct of the committee in charge of the
banquet given to President Harrison on his recent visit to this
city, in which the "snobocracy," represented by Messrs. Barnes,
Boruck and Bouvier, did all in their power to cast disrepute upon
California's wines, is fresh in the minds of the readers of the
Review. It will also be remembered that these same gentlemen
(?) were forced by the power of public sentiment to grant recog-
nition to the products of California's vineyards. In this connec-
tion, the following contribution by Charles A. Wetmore, on this
subject will be read with interest. Mr. Wetmore says:
Let us review the situation of cur vine growers briefly.
They have waited patiently, a long time, for the fulfilment of the
prophesy — "Cast your bread upon the waters and it shall return
unto you after many days." We have recently made known for
President Harrison's — for the Nation's consideration — our
achievements, our numbers, our social importance and our
political power. We have stated without disposition to contro-
versy our obstacles, our discouragements and our needs at. Wash-
ington. Foremost of all we have claimed national and social
recognition, respect and honor. We have gently intimated that
we, who were the bodyguard of the protective tariff on the Pacific
Coast; we, who are loading the earth with the aroma and per-
fume of the vine and making joyful the family fireside, shall not
tamely submit to any injustice, to any social slights, to any indig-
nities at the hands of the government, or of snobs. We demand
full recognition, respect and fellowship; and, further, in all cases
of diplomacy, treaty-making and extension of commerce, we de-
mand participation in national and State, political and commer-
cial consultation.
We desire to correct the impression created in the mind of
the President's Postmaster-General "Juannamaker" that it is an
easy thing to succeed in our agricultural pursuits. The novelties
of industrial complications, the difficulties of skill and local
adaptations and the commercial obstacles, which we have over-
come or resisted, are so great and manifold that they would
astonish the President and the Postmaster- General, if either of
them shoiild happen to give audience for one evening to a delega-
tion of our producers.
We have encountered ignorance in labor, inefficiency in
tools, misapplication in locality, inexperience and lack of facility
in trade, hostility in society and absolute indifference and neglect in
government. Yet after many years we have won victories enough
to have secured scores of crosses of the Legion of Honor, if our
citizens had been Frenchmen. Little by little local fashion was
conquered and we fairly hoped that we were only facing the
enemy in front. Off in the distance, from scattering centers of
good taste and refinement, were sounded the welcome notes of
praise and invitation. Beneath the surface the blood of our Cal-
ifornia grapes was circulating throughout the land and giving to
the French and German cosmetics of trade a decidedly Califor-
nian vivacity. The highest possible medals had been won in
foreign lands, and attention towards our wines was attracted
from all parts of the world. The merchants from England and
France have been visiting us ; offers for agencies have been ex-
tended from France, England, Germany, Belgium, Norway and
other countries ; and yet we suffered under the difficulties of
trade. Still, in the height of «uccess, while the President was
rolling in soft cushions, our producers were vainly appealing to
capital for aid to carry their products, and buyers were taking
in the treasures of nature for less than the price of buttermilk.
With all our successes we were still struggling under these ob-
stacles, as well as the ban of fashion. Partially recognized at
home we were pushing with the zeal of desperation to scale the
walls of prejudice and fraud in eastern cities. Our advance
couriers, backed by our small capital, were in every great city.
Eighteen of our most advanced producers and merchants had
combined and were opening in the city of Chicago the most
fashionable restaurant resort of the west.
The contest between the banquet committee and public
opinion, resulting from the President's visit, has been instructive
to all. It has shown to the President that our complaints were
well founded. It has shown to petty aspirants for public favors
that our influence is not to be despised. It has shown to our
concealed enemies that they cannot hide under the cloaks of

Mackenzie, Driscoil & ' Go., Oporto.
Oporto, Februarj', 1891.
To the Trade — We have the pleasure of waiting on you with
«ar annual report.
The shipments from Oporto were as follows: —
1890. 1889.
Great Britain 37,425 38,596
Other Countries 47,227 46,420
84,652 85,016
Home deliveries in Great Britain for 1890 exceeded those of
889 by 316,725 gallons, or an increase of over 9 per cent.
The vintage, which was very short in qusuitity, not being
irger than in 1889, was gathered in the last few days of Septem-
3r and beginning of October, in very favorable weathw. The
rines show tine flavor, body and character, and cannot fail to
am out well.
Prices, which were high in 1889, were considerably higher
1890; this, combined with short crop a all over Portugal, must
fcve the effect of stopping shipments of the lowest priced wines
ntil we get a vintage large enough to bring prices to former
jyel.
We are still able to offer you selected parcels of 1887 vintage
t £.50 per pipe.
Hoping for the continuance of your obliging orders, either
farect or through our agents, Messrs. M. Lienau & Co., 2, Jones
(ftne, New York. We are. Yours faithfully,
Mackenzie, Driscoll & Co.
a fair average, and that about one-third of the crop is finding ita
way to the distillers; the other two-thirds are very promising as
regards good quality, and wo may expect a large proportion of
this to equal the fine wines of the vintage of 1885.
Notwithstanding the vintage of 1889 being much damaged
by bad weather, the greater part of the selected mostos of this
vintage is developing better style and quality than was expected,
and will be found useful.
Prices rule firm for all classes of medium well-matured wines.
We hold a well-selected stock of all kinds, also of very
choice high-class Soleras, which enables us to meet all require-
ments of our customers, and to sKTp excellent quality and value.
The shipments from Jerez during the year were 50,217
Butts, making an increase of 2,507 Butts over 1889.
In soliciting the continuance of your esteemed ordei-s,
either direct or through our agents, Messrs. M. Lienau & Co., 2
Jones Lane, New York, we beg to assure you that every care
will be taken in their execution. We remain,
Yours faithfully,

Editor Pacific Wine and Spirit Review, San Francisco, Cal.: —
The Davies County Distilling Co., K. Monarch and theGlenmore
and Eagle Distillery Companies, have about closed for the season
of 1890-91. making less than half a crop of the well-known and
celebrated brands of whisky produced by each.
Customers can easily make their calculations as to what
amount of these goods they desire to purchase, without any fear
of overproduction doing them any damage.

ALLOWANCE FOR BREAKAGE ON CHAMPAGNE.
Before the U. S. General Appraisers at New Y'ork, March 18, 18!U .
In the matter of the protest, .519.3», of John Osborn, Son* Co., aKainst the aeaei
mtnt of duty without an allowance for breakage by the collector of customtj
New York on cerliin champagne, imported per Westernland, September 34, '
Opinion by Somfbvjllb, General Appraiser. -
The claim interposed by the appellants is one for an allowr
ance of deduction for breakage, either actual, or of five per cent.,
on an importation of certain champagne wines contained in
bottles. "*■
"Schedule H, liquors," of the tariff act of March 3, 1883,
paragraph 307, levies certain specific duties on champagne and
other sparkling wines, and paragraph 308 like duties on still
wines, in casks or bottles. A proviso to the latter section de-
clares "that there shall be no aUmmnts for breakage, leakage, or
damage on wines, liquors, cordials, or distilled spirits."
It is contended that the last proviso does not repeal the ict of
February 8, 1875, which provides that "there shall be an allow-
ance of five per cent, and no more on all effervescing wine«.
liquors, cordials' and distilled spirits in bottles, to be deduci
in lieu of breakage.^''
The two provisions are clearly so repugnant and irreconcil-
able that they can not stand together. The allowance of the five
per cent, specified in the act of 1875 related to effervescing
"wines, liquors, cordials, and distilled spirits," and was de<lared
to be "in lieu of breakage."
The act of 1883 abolished all allowance for breakaj;e or
damage on any of said classes of wines, without regard to their
effervescent qualities. (Decision of Board G. A. 90.)
This is made clearer by the provisions of section 23 of the
act of June 10, 1890, which declares that "no allowance for
damage to goods, wares, and merchandise imported into the
l^nit^Hl States shall hereafter be made in the estimation and
liquidation of duties thereon," and the policy of abandoment is
sulmtituted in place of such allowance on certain ])rc8crilH'd con-
ditions. (Dwision of Board G. A. 106.)
In addition to these considerations, it appears from the re-
port of the collector that no application was ^ver made to hiuu
for the as<'ertainnient of the damage alleged to hav6 Wmi done
the goods, as required by the Treasury RogulatioOB under th? old
law.
The decision of the collector is affirmed.

The Pacific Wine and Spirit Review, in the issue of March
18th, devotes almost a page to what the editor calls "Some more
corrections" regarding an attack on auction sales of California
wines in New York. We look upon it as a regular "take-water
article." The editor of the paper really believes now that there
are a few judges of wine outside of the State of California, but
limits it to a comparatively few east of the Rocky mountains.
Enough said, friend Review, we accept your apology, and will
add that you will find connoisseurs of wine the country over.
No apology was offered and no water taken, friend Wash-
burne. We hold that there are more native wine experts in this
state than in all the other States of the Union put together.
Our challenge in regard to your wholesale dealers of Louisville
is still open. We assert that there is not one who can tell wheth-
er a new wine is worth ten cents, fifty cents or one dollar a gal-
lon, or whether it is worth nothing. Duke Washburne does ad-
mirably in evading this issue.

iiuette.'"
\nd so it was done. General (irant sat down to the notible
ban.iuet in the Pala<-e Hotel, and not a glass from first to last
was filliHl with ought but a Californian— an American— product.
F.xtraonlinary to relate, not one of the leaders of fashion who
were prew-nt experienced an eartlMjuake! On the contrary, it
ban lieen fashionable ever since in California to search for select
native pnMlucts for the fashionable tables. . ,„ .
When the next Pan-American banquet is given in Wash-
ington might not a lesson be learned from the Grant banquet in
San Francisco? Our leaders of American politics appeal to the
people to sustain, to foster and to protect American industiy.
The President talks nobly of carrying our products under the
\merican flag to all countries. Our citizens on this Coast may
iw\ their patriotism deeper than iutheir intellects— deep down in
their hearts— if thev see their leading statesman proudly and
art'ectionately honoring the work of their fellow-citizens. Let
there be a law. we might dream, indeed, retiuiring the emblem of
the American flag to be stamped on all pure and American pro-
ducts and then let the American people honor their flag wher-
ever it is seen or floats!
A large quantity of wine in the aggr^ate is produced in
States east of the Rocky mountains, especially in New York,
Ohio, Missouri, Virginia and North Carolina. It has been esti-
mated that the entire consumption of wine in the United States
in 1888 was 36,.3:io,068 giillons. Of this amount 5,0()0,()00 gallons
were received as imiKirtations from all foreign countries. It
therefore appears that less than one-seventh of the wine con-
sumed was of foreign origin. The total consumption of wine in
the United States in 1840 was 4,873,096 gallons, practically all of
which was imported. It is plain, therefore, that the increased
consumption since 1840 has lieen provided for by native produc-
tion.
Every reader will bear in mind the vast increase in the
numlwrs of pla<«es where wines are sold which has taken place
since 1840, and he will also reflect upon the fact that in nearly all
such places the pretense of selling only foreign wines is still kept
up. He will naturally wonder, if he has not been initiated into
the secrets of the wine trade, how it should happen that there
should have been such an increase in the places where foreign
wines appear to bi' sold without a corresponding increase in the
importations.
In the humid atmosphere east of the Rocky mountains, the
rid* vlniffra. by which terms the cultivated sjMK-ies of European
vines are known, cannot Iks successfully grown in the open air.
Recourse is had, therefore, by necessity, to the various species
of wild American vines and their cultivated hybrids. Notwith-
standing this restriction of natui-e the improved nature stocks
have be<-oine already the basis for quite extensive viticulture in
many Easter Middle, Southern and Central States. The dry,
sumiiu-r <-limate lu-evailing on the Pacific Coast si-cures to the
European varieties practical immunity from the mildew, which
destroys them on the Atlantic side. The great range of latitude
over which the climate suited to the vine in (.California extends,
and the great variations caused by proximity to or distance
from the sea. by altitude and by geological changes of soil con-
ilitions caused "to be reunited ill California all the known con-
ditions of successful viticulture of France, Germany, Switzerland,
Spain, Italy. (Jrewe, Asia Minor and Algeria. Here, with
intelligent care and experienct? by proper selection of locality for
wu'h variety of vine we are already producing fair counterparts
of the lM>st'gi'n«'iiil qualities of the vintages i>eculiar to the Rhine
as well as the Mediterranean, of Burgundy as well as Bonleaux.
of Xeres as well as Malaga. In some limited instances we ha\ .

trictions. The interest of the great body of American eonsumert
is in ••ommon with that of our prmhicers. I.,iiws intended for
the Isnefit of i)ro<lu(H'rs should not Ix" perverted by dei)artnu'ntal
rulings and regu)ati«ms so that the prwlucer loses his rightful
pi-ofits and rewards, and beconit* suliordinate to tradeemen and
manipidators.
The i>rovisious of t lie internal revenue law affecting swtM't
wine*, which were intcnilwl by a lilH-nil CcHigress to benefit and
make easier the lot of the vine growers, hjvve not yet bc<H)nie
practically operative. What is net'dtHl now is the most lilx-ral
construction of all those features of the law which were intended
to relieve the i)ro<lucer from taxation, the simplest forms of regu-
lations, so that the smallest and most humble producer may
share in the IxMietits. as was intended, and so that the building
up of monopolies may be avoided, and such precisions of rules
as will enal)lc all jiroducers to underst^md their rights and so act
under the law as not to feel the hand of the Government preK-^ing
oflensively u|M)n the sanctity of private rights.
We nwMl more legislation. The Government should not
comi)el the distiller to sell new brandies in order to avoid confisi-
cation. The tax should fall upon conHumption, not upon produc-
tion. If the g(KMls produced at the sole expense of the producer
are never sold and offered for consumption, the (loveriiment
should claim no interest in them. In other words, the producer
should 1m> permitted to withold his own products from >^ale as
long as he desires to perfect them or as long as the conditions of
the uiarket com|)el him. When he offers them upon the market
for consumption it is time enough for the Government to step in
and claim its revenue. The bonding period therefore, should Ije
unlimited, as demanded by all producers of fine distilled In'ver-
ages. The Government has no right to refuse this demand, es-
pecially when it is known that the opiwsition springs from the
rivalry of those distillers and rectifiers who compete against
straight goods matured by age. with raw alcohols flavored and
doctoretl in imitation of superior qualities.
Again, the laws relating to distilling should not be framed
80 as to ojjerate principally to the advatage of the middlemen
and against the liberty of the producers. A distiller should be
permitted under distillers stamps to blend and improve his i)ro-
ducti<m by all legitimate methods and to i»ut them in whatever
sized packages trade may require.
Permit me to say that the vine growers of California extend
a hearty welcome to our distinguished visitors, and that they
look forward to vast national benefit to follow this ever-to-be-
remembered tour of President Harrison.

WHO IS -RBSPO/NSIBLE?
Tlie ^Mechanic's Fair directors may just as well give
1]) any idea of having California wjnes and brandies exhibited
it the annual show in this city. Year by year the produc-
jrs and merchants who made a display, have been subjected to
ill sorts of petty pilfering on the part of visitors to the fair. The
due of the fair for exhibition and advertising purposes is prac-
:ically nothing, a fact which is recognized by the leading wine
men, and the exhibits have dwindled away correspondingly.
It is not at all probable, judging by the latest report made
jn the exhibits, that any California wine man will consent to
ace his products on exhibition. Here is a portion of the report
Ml Class 42:
CLASS 42.
The Jurors appointed to examine and recommend awards in
["lasses 42, 4.3, 44, 45 and 46, have complied with your request,
IS well as the limited time would allow, and submit the following:
H. W. Crabb. — Display of California Wines and Brandies
h-om the To-Kalpn Vineyard, Napa County.
For the finest display of California Wines and Brandies a
Gold Medal was offered in the Premium list. We regret that
but one vineyard displayed sufficient enterprise to make an ex-
hibit, and it is with us a source of still greater regret that the
iiuiiierous brands of wine and the exhibit of brandies was of a
quality so much below the average standard of California excel-
ciice that we deem it our duty to pass the exhibit with the fore-
going remarks.
In accordance with the Premium List, the Board of Mana-
gers awarded Mr. Crabb, for the best display of wines and brand-
ies. Gold Medal.
Henry Postel & Co. — Orange Cider.
We deem this worthy of a Diploma.
CoBVHN, Tkvis & Co.^ — Mott's Cider (Westchester County,
Nt'W York) is of an indifferent nature and does not require any
commendatory comment.

Too late for competition.
Now this report would be all verj^ well if the gentlemen who
took it upon themselves were competent to criticize Mr. Crabb's
wines in this ugly manner.
Appended to the repoi't are the names of W. D. Johnson,
M. D., Wm. M. Searby and Robley D. Johnson, M. D. The only
'\\'. D. Johnson, M. D. in San Francisco, of whom we have any
knowledge, is one who was connected with the State Mining
Bureau and was a more or less interested person in the Heyden-
fcldt lunacy case. We do not know whether the two are iden-
tical. If they are, we have about as much respect for his opinion
on wines as we would have for a Patagonian's. W. M. Searby is
a retail druggist. We never before kirew him to be a wine ex-
pert. Of Robley D. Johnson, M. D., we know nothing.
The "Report" of these alleged experts is made all the more
ludicrous when it is stated that they also reported on the follow-
ing classes:
Class 43 — "Fermented Products." They awarded prizes
and diplomas for beer, bitters and several appetizers. •
Class 44— "Tobacco. 'I
Class 45— "Geology, Mineralogy, Zoology, Botany, etc."
Here they awarded prizes for coal, building stone, marble, fossils,
curios, woods, coins, abalone shells. Big Tree bark and buttons.
Class 46 — "Farm Products." And here they awarded
medals, etc. for grapes, honey, milk, seeds, figs, prunes, hops,
cotton fibre and seed, jellies and jams, beet sugar and ramie,
supplementing the ramie awards by testimonials, etc.
A most talented and versatile committee, forsooth, but one
whose tender attentions are not wanted by the wine men.
SEGHBGATI/NG FERME/NTS.
What George Payne Proposes to Do For Galifornia— A Theory
Which May Have hm Merit.
George Payne an English chemist is expected to arrive in
this State very shortly to introduce the supposed separate fer-
ments for separate wines. He is coming directly from England
and it is said will also go to Australia.
Local experts here have not much faith in his idea, but foi*
the sake of publishing the news about the matter we give the
substance of a letter he lias already sent out here, as follows;
The vitalistic theory of fermentation, thanks mainly to the
labors of Pasteur, is now firmly established. By the vitalistic
theory of fermentation, it is understood that fermentation is the
result of processes of life and vegetation in lower organisms, as
fungi and bacteria.
The practical advantage of ferments is found in the conduct
of the modern brewer, who, instead of leaving his ferments to
chance or uncertainty makes a careful cultivation of his leoure
or yeast, thus gaining complete control over his fermentation.
Following out certain views on fermentation, a French
microbiological chemist and a Burgundy wine grower, thought
that the special bouquets of Bordeaux, Burgundy and other
wines were caused by special ferments. Seven years of patient
study have proved the soundness of this view, and to-day the
special ferments of a long list of wines, e. g. Bordeaux, Margaux.
St. Emilion, Grand Champagne Cognac, Chablis, Sauterne,
Riesling, Pommard, Beaujolais and many others have been segre-
gated.
In 1889 the experiments were concluded and special samples
of ferments were given to about three hundred wine growers in
Algeria and France, for trial, with the result that for the vintage
of 1890, leoures equal to 350,000 gallons of wine were purchased
by the wine growers, while for the vintage of 1891, leoures for
11,000,000 gallons were demanded. This lifts the matter out of
the domain of experiment in the region of fact.
It is not pretended that any change can be made on wines
already made or fermented; nor is it contended that with grape
juice giving a bad wine, excellent Bordeaux and Burgundy can be
made, but the quality can be much improved and the value
increased by the use of the appropriate ferment at a very slight
cost.
The ferment must be added to the grapes when they are
crushed. The fermentation will be found to be more rapid, com-
plete and even and all the sugar is fermented out, thus avoiding
secondary fermentations and the production of a mawkish and
unpleasant taste. The ameliorating or improving effect will be
recognized as soon as fermentation is complete, especially when
one cuvee is left to ferment in the ordinary manner."

ILLUST-RATIO/NS OF WI/NEHIES.
Major H. Gardner, the Viticultural Agent in the Census
Office has notified the Viticultural Commissioners that the final
reports on horticulture and viticulture will be published in the
final census reports on agriculture. It will appear in divisions
and districts, the same as in the bulletin already published.
It is desired that each division and section be illustrated with
views of wineries, vineyards and pictures of grapes. Cuts are also
wanted to illustrate the progress in the raisin industry.
The wine producers of the country east of the Rockies, are
intending to take advantage of this, to show up their business,
and a liberal invitation is extended the California producers to do
the same. ^
These goods, which we are selling largely to wine and cham-
pagne manufacturers throughout the country, are perfectly iree
from the smallest speck of dirt or dust, and are beautifully trans-
parent. They are not like the sugary stuff sometimes sold as
rock candy.
In ten barrel lots, we sell the crystals at a slight advance on
the cost of refined sugar. Samples on application.

The '91 product to March 31st, ultimo, shows nearly 1,000,000
gallons more than the '90 crop did at the like date, the total pro-
duction of the current season then being 23,006,477 gallons as
against 22,043,738, gallons '90s., and the indications are that the
April production will add yet more to the increased volume of
the '91 crop as compared with previous ones.
We think, in connection with the increasing overproduction,
it might prove interesting to examine the withdrawals for the
past three years, taking, for instance, those of the month of
March '89, March '90, and March '91:
There was unbonded in March '89, from the
regular bonded stocks of the three seasons of
'86, '87, and '88 1,687,181 galls.
There was unbonded in March '90, from the
regular bonded stocks of the three seasons of
'87, '88 and '89 1,293,109 "
There was unbonded in March '91, from the
regular bonded stocks of the three seasons of
'88, '89 and '90 1,154,354 "
This comparison of the official figures shows a falling off in
the withdrawals of March '90, from those of March '89, of say
300,000 gallons, and in those of March '91, from March '90, of
150,000 gallons more.
It is unnecessary to make any comment in regard to this ex-
hibition, as the figures speak for themselves, and quite forcibly,
too.
We will take this occasion, however, to refer to the reception
accorded our circulars in some quarters in '89 and '90, when we
used every argument to persuade the dealer to refrain fi-ora the
purchase of new whisky. We hope to curtail the threatened
overproduction, which we believe (and we say it with due mod-
esty) we did do to a great extent, in both of these seasons.
Several of the trade papers, and some of the dealers, took the
position that we were "not up with the times;" that we had lost
sight of the fact that consumption was increasing along with the
increased production, and that there was no overproduction. We
think these same people will, after a present review of the situa-
tion, acknowledge the error of their judgement and admit that
we at least were correct in our positions.
Your obedient servants,
E. H. Taylor Jr. & Sons,

These figures indicate a complete exhaustion of stocks of
aged whiskies in the not far distant future.
The foregoing statistics are respectfully submitted with the
hope they may prove of value and interest to the trade, to whom
I offer my services as a broker. All Orders entrusted to me to
buy or sell whisky will receive careful attention.

Han Marino, the PrcHident and General Manager of the San
(tahrii'i Wine f'onipany, an institution favorably known where-
ever California viticultural products are sold.
Mr. Khorb sprang from an old time Maryland family, though
his father l>r. Jame«« A. Shorb. was bom in Pennsylvania. His
mother's maiden name was Miss Margaret McMeal' whose father
(^ptain FeHx MeMeal was at one time a i)rominent ship owner
of Ftaltimore. It it« a matter of history that before the Colonies

alK.ut the time that the Civil War broke out and falling under the

time and Mr. Shorb lH'c«me Assistant Superintendent under Dr.
Letterinann. He took active charge of the operations in the field
of Newhall, Ixw .\ngeles county, but the field was not a produc-
tive one and he resignwl and retired for a while from the service
of the compjiuy. He then m-cepted a civil appointment in the
P^ngiiuH'T Corps of the United States Army and began the original
surveyof Point LoIjoh near San Francisco for the purpose of e^
taliiishing fortifications there.
In the mean time J)r. J.iettermann resigned the Superintend-
eiicy of the Petroleum Company and at the earnest solicitation of
Col. Scott, Mr. Shorb accepted the vacant office and gave up bis
place in the army, remaining with the company many numtlis.
While thus engaged he became identified with an enterprise to
bring water down the San Feliciana, some twenty-five mib^
southwest of Newhall for the purpose of washing gold from tin
gravel there. In this enterprise he wa« engaged with H. ( .
PeiK';hy and a Mr. Harpending.
The prospects for a successful undertaking were excellent
but the scheme was never carried out as about this time, on Jum
4, 1SB7, Mr. Shorb was married to Miss Maria Jesus Wilson.
daughter of Don Benito Wilson, one of the oldest pioneers ol
Southern California. At the earnest request of Mr. Wilson, Mr.
Shorb transferred his interest in his mining venture to his asso-
ciate's, so as to enable him to devote his entire time to the wine
and fruit industry, then in its infancy in this State. He leaned
the properties of Mr. Wilson and others, formed the Lake Vine-
yard Co., and established commercial houses in New York, Balti-
more and San Francisco. This business was successful from the
start and continued until 1870 when Mr. Shorb sold his interest
and associated himself with his father-in-law, Mr. Wilson, under
the firm name of B. D. Wilson & Co. This connection continucil
until May 11, 1877, the date of Mr. Wilson's death.
From this time until 1882 the business was continued under
Mr. Shorb's name. He then incorporated the San Gabriel Wine
Company and in 1882 and 1883 planted some 700 acres in vines,
selecting the leading foreign varieties which had already proved
a success in the n(.rthern portion of the State. Mr. Shorb was
first President of this large and successful institution and has
continued at its head since its incorporation.
Few of the enterprising men of Southern California have had
a greater part in the recent marvelous development of that
section. As early as 1874 he organized the Lake Vineyard I..aiid
and Water Association, one of the first institutions in Southern
California to acquire large tracts of land, subdivide them and
offer them for sale in five and ten acre tracts. The San Pasfjual
Ranch on which the second city of Los Angeles county, Pasadena .
is located, as well as the beautiful settlement of Alhambra, was
among the first properties to be so divided. Mr. Shorb was the
first General Manager and succeeded to the Presidency on the
death of Hon. B. D. Wilson. He also organized and incorported
the Alhambra Addition Water Co., in 1883, and was the first
President continuing in this office ever since. In 1887, together
with other prominent men, having in view the development of
the resources of the San Gabriel Valley, he incorporated the San
Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit Railway. Mr. Shorb was first
President of this Company and continued such for a year, when
owing to press of other business matters, he handed in his resig-
nation and was succeeded by Hon. E. F. Spence of Los Angeles.
The company built and equipped about seventeen miles of road
running through the heart of the well-known San Gabriel Valley.
<!onnectiiig Los Angeles and Monrovia.
When the State Viticultural Commission was established in
1880 he was appointed a member of the Board, representing the
State-at-large. He has held this office continuously from the
first and is now Vice-President of the Commission.
Mr. Shorb has always been an active, energetic man whose
counsels are sought by many in his section. He is fully alive t"
the needs of the State and the industry and his public spirit is
everywhere recognized. Publicoffices could havebeen had by him
many times for the asking and it is well known that had he
desired he could easily have had his party's nomination for Con-
gress la.st year.
Physically he is tall and well made, and his striking face at
figure would command attention anywhere. By his associates 1

A MEW Hg-D-RAClLie WIME PRESS.
We print in another column a cut of a new style of hydrau-
lic press which commends itself to the attention of wine-growers.
It is, in our opinion, admirably suited for those who are crowded
with work and whose prime object is to save time. We speak of
the hydraulic wine press now built and offered for sale by Messrs.
Toulouse & Delorieux, of 620-622 Commercial Street, this city.
These gentlemen, who are long since noted for their practical in-
genuity in catering to the wants of wine men, have introduced a
new feature in the construction of hydraulic wine presses, which,
to say the least, is strikingly novel and reflects great credit on
their inventive skill. We refer to that peculiar arrangement
which permits the withdrawal of the basket as soon as the press-
ing is done, and the substitution for it of another one previously
loaded. The platform is stationary, and in the center of it is
laid a track which runs between the four columns of the press.
Upon this track travels a circular trough mounted on wheels
which contains the basket. Tlie basket and trough being
independent of the platform and movable, it matters not
where the press is set up, since they can be wheeled
about from one tank to another, in the wine cellar, and
returned to the press as easily as they are taken out. Two
baskets and troughs are provided, so that the pressing may be
continuous, one basket being loaded while the contents of the
other are being pressed. All transfusion of the marc is also
avoided, as the movable troughs and baskets will reach the re-
motest corners and go through the narrowest alleys. The
hydraulic press built by Messrs. Toulouse & Delorieux can give a
most powerful pressure and can be operated without much exer-
tion. No experience is required to handle it and it can be used
anywhere. It is made in several sizes and sold at a very moder-
ate price.
Edward Walden is still on the Coast superintending the ship-
ment of brandy aboard the next ship — the J. C. Pfluger — for
Bremen. Walden & Co. and the Natoma Co. will both make

DEUOHIEUX,

A MEW PA-RTg.
The past fortnight has been marked by the creation of a
new national political party, the organization being effected at
Cincinnati. The components are the political disafl'ectants of all
kinds and degrees, the Farmers' Alliance being the central rally-
ing body.
The platform which was adopted is what might be expected
fromsuch agathering. Thej' endorse all the "reform" movements
which have been raised since the war, with one exception — and
that is that the Prohibitionists were thrown out bodily. They
made one strenuous attempt to get their peculiar fad indorsed
with the rest, but Prohibition was more than the new party
could stand, even though its leaders are Kansans and the most
of the rank and file may probably be Prohibitionists in principle
if not in practice. Curiously enough a Californian fought hard-
est for the cold water idea, but he wasn't an old timer. We are
informed that he is a recent one-lung importation.
The rejection of the Prohibition clause by the Natioi^al or
People's party is a cause for considerable satisfaction. Had the
party adopted it, there was a chance of Prohibition becoming a
national issue and it should be the consistant effort of the liquor
interest to confine it to State lines at least. There is yet no
means of determining to what limits this new movement may
reach and it is best for all concerned — and certainly for the party
itself — to start without a Prohibition ball-a*id-chain at the
ankles.

than one i)er cent, of alcohol, and its sale is permitted under the
laws of that State. This is what is said of the beverage by a
l)rofcssor at Bowdoin College, who submitte:! it to a chemical
analysis:
It is far better for a man to stick to plain raw whisky than
to indulge in this prohibition beer. The injurious effect of this
beer lies in the fa(;t that quite a percentage of the compound is
salicylic acid, which is added to stay fermentation, which would
Oi'cur on account of the absence of alcohol. Salicylic acts with
a terrible effect upon the kidneys, and a frequent use is almost
sure to bring on Bright's Disease. There is hardly any beer sold
in this country which doe« not contain some of this acid.
This might serve as a text for a sermon either on the dangers
of prolnbition or of drinking any kind of beer.

To the Trade:— In putting on the market our vintage of 1890,
we would call your attention to the merits of our goods, which is
1 icing rapidly demonstrated by the increased demand we have
found for them in Eurojiean markets, where they go into con-
sumption on an equality with the best brands of French cognacs,
I );iying precisely the same rates of duty.
This current month we are shipping on orders to Germany
and Great Britain of over 60,000 gallons, direct from San Fran-
cisco by sail. As the buyers have used our goods for several
years past it is no experiment, but shows a healthy demand based
upon former trials.
Our Glasgow correspondent, one of the oldest spirit
merchants in Scotland, writes: "Your brandy reminds meforci-
lily of the old cognacs we used to secure from the Charente dis-
tricts before the phylloxera attacked their vineyards." The
^ <ierman Imperial Sanitary Commission, whose duty it is to pro-
tect the people of the Empire from injurious adulterations in food
and drink, have in their official report print«d the following
statement of a chemical analysis by Prof. E. Sell, as follows:

No. 1 is a French cognac. Chateau de la Sabliere, vintage
1874, from the cellar of a French gentleman who kindly pre-
sented it to the Gesundheitsamte for analysis.
No. 2 is from the stock of a well-known Bremen firm, also
presented to the commission.
No. 3 is a California cognac from the distillery of Walden &
Co., to which the professor added the unofficial statement that it
was one of the purest brandies he ever analyzed.
While we have no difficulty abroad to obtain recognition of
superior quality and consequently better prices than are claimed
for other California goods, it is at home alone that we meet them
in competition.
When our distillation is confined exclusively to thorosghly
fermented, fresh, young wines, whose subtile ethers give the fine
flavors and delicate bouquet to the goods, we are met with a
spirit distilled from spoiled wines, pomace washings and all other
waste products of the wineries, which it is the habit in California
to utilize in this manner, giving a product ranging all the way
from inferior to nasty.
In all other wine countries such spirit is made and after
proper rectification is used to fortify wines, but owing to the lack
of flexibility and adaption of our Internal Revenue system it is
called brandy and offijred to the trade as such, and is generally
disposed of at very low prices, which would not cover the cost of
the material used by us. We therefore protest against having
our goods classed in this general category of "California brandy,"
but claim a place for it in competition with French cognacs,
which position we have gained in the critical markets of Great
Britain and the continent of Europe and which is now, we are
glad to report, being accorded us at home.
We have stock in U. S. Bonded Warehouse in San Francisco,
New York and Chicago. Shall be pleased to wait on you with
samples on your application. We are, dear sirs,
Yours very truly,

To the Trade — Urgent need of larger facilities has induced us
to change the location of our city office to 213 and 215 Fifth
avenue, where the advantages of improved arrangements will
afford us additional opportunities for prompt services.
Incidentally, we take pleasure in pointing to the constantly
growing demand for our "Calumet Gin." It is the best endorse-
ment we possibly could desire of its merits. If it is not already
one of your staples, it would please us to receive your trial order.
All ten, fifteen and twenty-five-gallon packages are bound with
galvanized iron hoops, and, being double sampled, make very at-
tractive packages.
As to the rest of our products, such as perfection spirits,
cologne spirits, alcohol and whiskies, comment is unnecessary.
They are standard.
We hope for an early opportunity to extend to you a most
cordial welcome at our office, remaining,
Respectfully yours,

To the Wholesale Wine and Spirit Trade: — Sir: We desire to
express our appreciation of the liberal patronage which has been
extended to us by the wholesale wine and spirit trade since open-
ing business connections in Chicago and the Northwest, and to
notify the trade that owing to the increasing popularity of our

SWEET WI/NE MEETI/MG.
A special meeting of the Sweet Wine Maker's Association
was held on the 29th ult. to prepare final instructions to be sent
to Frank A. West who is now in Washington conferring with
the Internal Revenue Commissioner on the Sweet Wine Regula-
tions. Those present at the meeting were Arpad Haraszthy,
John T. Doyle, George West, I. De Turk, C. A. Wetmore, H.
W. Crabb, Chas. Stern, L. P. Drexler and one or two othei-s.
A talk of two hours ensued over the situation, and at the
close a letter was formulated to send to Mr. West. Mr. C. A.
Wetmore, on behalf of the Livermore producers, presented an
exceedingly well written article analyzing the law and regula-
tions which will be sent to Mr. West. On the same day the
Executive Committee of the Viticultural Commission met and
authorized Mr. West to travel through western New York and
Ohio in the interest of the brandy and condensed must industries.

Mr. Frank A. We8t who camo liere some days ago as the
Of^ent of the Sweet Wine makers of California is nipidly complet-
in|{ the ta«k a><8ignc<rto him — that of going over the regulations
governing the use of brandy for fortifying wine.
Mr. We«t was well received by the ('ommissioner and other
officials of the department and is working with Mr. Bates.
It is understood that there will be no difficulty in arranging
the regulations so a« to protect the Government and give the
wine men all the nec««8ary facilities.
It is said that the Government will abandon the ruling that
no must can contain over 26J^ per cent, sugar. The regulations
will have a provision for a "'Sweet Wine" room in wineries and
will otherwise be simplified. Many unnecessary forms and re-
port* will be done away with. Blending will be permitted in the
Bweet Wine room.
The stamps, which are merely required for identification of
packages, will probably be done away with the moment that the
wine maker settles with the Government.
Mr. West will probably remain here a fortnight longer in
the interest of the wine men. N. Thompson.

DEATH OF ADOLPH WOOLMEH.
A(lt»li>li WooliuT, tlie well-known distiller of Peoria, and
Vicc-PtcsidiMit of tlie Distilling & Cattle Feeding Co., has in the
priini' of lift' and at the height of his worldly prosperity, after a
very sliort i!liies.'<, jya^ssed away. This unexpected and sad news
proved a shock to the largo circle of his acquaintances and friends
throughout tlu; I'nited States, both in and out of the trade.
Mr. Woolner's nihilities as a business man were of a high
order, and the prominent position he had wrested for himself in
the commercial world was due entirely to his own right arm. He
wa.H born in Hungary fifty years ago, and came to this country
twenty-five years ago, locating first in Louisville. Five years
after he moved to Peoria, and engaged in distilling. His genial
and aftable deportment won friends for him wherever he went,
and he h eld a innnber of positions of honor in Masonic and other
societies, also that of President of the Peoria Board of Trade. He
has left his family, consisting of a widow and four sons, to mourn
his sudden and untimely decease.
At the regular monthly meeting of the Directors of the Di-
stilling and Cattle Feeding Co., they adopted the following mem-
orial as a tribute of respect and affectionate remembrance of their
associate and friend on the Board, Adolph AVoolner:
"During the life of the Western Export Association and the
Distillers and Cattle Feeders' lYust, the immediate predecessors
of the present Distilling and Cattle Feeding Co., a period cover-
ing ten years, he has been an active and honored member of the
different boards.
"An earnest worker, he devoted his time and energj' in ful-
filment of the duties of his position. Faithful at all times in
his work, with remarkable capacity for it, and intelligence in the
manner of performing it, he made his value felt, and proved of
the greatest assistance in the charge of the immense interests en-
trusted to his care; of unswerving integrity, he could be relied
upon to do justice to all, and to take the course which he knew
to be the right one. His kindly disposition and desire to assist
all with whom he was brought in contact, made him many and
warm friends, while his enemies, if any, were those who found a
well-deserved rebuke from him. The members of the board have
lost an earnest worker and a warm friend, and Peoria, a valuable
citizen; and in deepest sympathy for his family in their great loss,
we record this as a testimony of our regard, and direct that a
copy be sent to them.

Chicago ^Q'pavbment,
[eegulab correspondence.]
Chicago, May 28, 1891.
I ivigret to say that I am unable to report anything of much
interest in the liquor market since my last. The fact is that
while there is about the usual run of jobbing business and retail
as well, there is a sort of lull — a waiting, as it were, to see just
how the market is going to turn next. The eifect of the over-
stock is still felt and will be for some time to come. It is re-
ported that the local distillers will shut down in the near future,
and that will have a tendency to stiffen up prices in time, but not
right away. It is also generally believed that the Kentucky dis-
tillers will stop operations just as soon as their contracts with
the cattle men expire, which will be the first of June, though
there has not yet been any combine formed for that purpose.
The high prices of grain now ruling will cause the distillers
to "slow down"' in self defense. AVith grain almost out of sight
in prices, and whisky at bedrock on account of overproduction, it
stands to reason that a halt must be called just as speedily as
possible or some body will have to go to the wall. It is hardly
to be expected that it will be allowed to go to that extreme, and
a i-adical adjustment of affairs may be looked for in the very
near future.
In the midst of this depression in the whisky market it is
encouraging to note the fact that California goods are coming to
the front in great shape, both in demand and price. That the
outlook for California wine was never better in its history than
at this time is very patent to all who are in position to judge.
The trouble is that the producers are not able, financially, as a
rule, to sit down and wait for the good time coming, and at the
same time allow their wines to grow better by the waiting. In
talking with an Englishman the other day whom I had seen en-
joving a glass of California claret at dinner, he said: "For its
age the wine I was drinking was very fine, much better, indeed,
than any I have ever seen on the other side of the water, at that
age. But what it lacks is age. Why, we do not think a claret
is fit for use till it is ten years old at least." And then I thought
how it would stagger a California wine grower, or even merchant,
to tell him he must keep his wine ten or even five years before
it could be put on the market.
But that is the other extreme, of course, and there is no
reason in it. But the point I wish to make is that with age and
care the demand for C^ilifornia wine will increase many fold every
year, especially if due care and effort is made to introduce it to
the people of the East. As an example of persistent and intelli-
gent work in the way of introducing California wine and making
a market for it, I will state the following. Not long since I was
talking with a gentleman who makes a business of handling Cal-
ifornia wine, and he remarked that Milwaukee was the best mar-
ket in the whole east for that class of goods, considering its size,
and he said he was at a loss to know why it was.
I at once recalled a little incident that occurred away back
in 1878, and which I had long since forgotten. I was tramping
through Grreen Valley, in Solano county, visiting the wine cellars
gathering data for a newspaper article. At the very head of the
valley and well up on the side of the mountain there was a little
cellar with an adjoining vineyard of a few acres, and I should
scarcely have climbed to its elevated site had not my love of na-
ture, and the prospect of a beautiful view of the valley prompted
me to do so. But I was amply repaid for my exertion both in
tiie view I had of the valley, and the delicately flavored wine
I which I found stored in that little mountain cellar. Upon in-
i quiry as to where he marketed his product the owner told me
that it was all sent to Milwaukee to a brother, I think, who knew
just how to handle it and who had worked up a trade that con-
isumed all and moi-e than they could produce. This was in 1879,
'remember, and now in 1891 1 am told that the best market in the
I .ast for California wine is at Milwaukee. I put this and that
tDgether and conclude that it is simply the result of placing an
I 'vcellent article upon that market year in and year out, and
w aiting for results. That is all that is necessary in any city, and
it is only time and good wine that is necessary to work up a
trade over here that the whole state of California will be unable
to meet.
Mr. Geo. Husman, of Chiles Valley, Napa county, has lately
shijjped a carload of wine to Alma, Wisconsin. Thus is the trade
and Dusiness expanding and extending.
Mr. Holden, of the California Company, has returned from
an extended visit to California. He brings back a cheerful re-
port and as a earnest of the way business is with him, has been
receiving carloads of wine at his cellar ever since his return.
The To-Kalon people report a very active and increasing de-
mand for their goods, and they are making a number of internal
improvements in their place of business to meet the require-
ments of the trade.
The opening of the California Viticultural restaurant and
cafe on Friday evening last was simply a blaze of glory. Cer-
tainly nothing could have been better provided for, more success-
fully managed, nor more charming, entertaining, and satisfactory
in every respect than it was. The attendance was good and
those present will be often guests at Mr. Franckx's most generous
tables. As a caterer Mr. Fi-anckx placed himself at the head of
the list in one dinner. It is not necessary for him or his friends
to blow horns any more. The old Yankee proverb is: "The
proof of the puddin" is the eatin' on it," and so it is with his
dinner, and all those whose good luck it was to eat there that
first night will vote him a grand success all the days of their
lives. The service was prompt, courteous — cjuite in contrast with
the colored service one usually gets at restaurants here. The
tables were nicely arranged and richly set off with silver and
crystal. The room is a veritable boudior, and with a liberal dis-
play of palms and ferns one who was accustomed to California
did' not have to stretch his imagination much to believe that he
was once more in the city by the sunset sea. Delightful music
was rendered all during the evening, and added much to the en-
joyment and success of the occasion.

deliver them to buyers on an order of their representative, but
billed from their office in California, is liable for wholesale deal-
er's license here as well as in California. You are informed that
if the goods stored in local warehouse are sold and delivered by
the distiller's representative here, without first forwarding the
order to California and by the California house authorized to
deliver, such representative becomes liable to special tax as retail

•ROBE-RT BAHTO/N DEAD.
Robert Barton, manager and part owner of the widely knoAvn
Barton vineyard, died at 11:50 o'clock on the night of the 25th
ult. The deceased was taken down with the grip early in the
year and he took to his bed again about the last of March, and
with the exception of two days he has not been out of the house
since. A complication of diseases was developed, among which
were pneumonia and pleurisy. The deceased was about 47 years
of age. He leaves a widow and four children.
Robert Barton was one of the pioneers of the industry in
Fresno county but he has not taken the active industry in viti-
culture he once did, before he sold his property to the Euglisli
Company, the "Barton Estate, Limited", some years ago. His
death will be keenly felt in Fresno however where he was konw ii
as one of the most enterprising citizens.

WITNE MOST SUITABLE
eOG/NAe.
FOR
By Antonio dal Pias.
The quality of wine used for distillation has the foremost
place in determining the grade of the distillates, for which
raason upon the suitability of the wine chosen for cognac manu-
fiicture will very largely depend wJiether a really first-class arti-
cle is produced. Unfortunately, this result is too often missed
owing to the prevailing belief that any inferior or damaged wine
will make cognac, and that richer and more alcoholic wines
should produce good cognac. From the former and alcoholic
wines a larger yield of alcohol is, of course, obtained; but in all
other respects the product, although rich in cenanthic ether, is
80 very indifferent that only in exceptional cases can it be ranked
even as inferior cognac. Equally unsuited for the fabrication of
cognac is wine that has been left long in contact with marc, as
rM wines, or "petiotised" wine, the distillate from such having a
taste and odor of marc-brandy, which only disappears after long
keeping.
The best wine for producing a fine aromatic cognac is a light,
brilliant, white wine, not too old. Light wines from grapes not
perfectly ripe are much more suitable for the purpose than more
highly saccharine wines made from overripe grapes.
A fine natural bouquet in the wine of the foremost import-
anc3 to the quality of the distillate, in which it is manifest in a
fine aroma, quite distinctive from that obtained with commoner
wines. Different wines only yield the finest description of dis-
tillate up to a certain definite stage in cask, and when this
particular stage is past, like older wines, yield an inferior product
for which reason young wines are preferable to old. Care must
be taken that the wine to be distilled is not fermenting or inter-
mixed with yeast, as brandy from j'easty wine has an unmistak-
able taste and odor of yeast or lager-brandy. A good sound
young wine should therefore be used for cognac manufacture,
but the greatest care is also requisite that by means of repeated
racking, filtering and fining it comes to the still in perfectly
bright condition. "With this precaution, young wines, so long as
fermentation is over and complete, can be employed for cognac,
and their use is the more to be recommended, as by keeping them
the stages at which they furnish the finest description of distill-
ate is soon passed. A preliminary trial on a small scale is indis-
pensable, as it can thus be determined whether the whole distill-
ate is suitable for cogna<!, or whether the runnings must
be separated from the rest, as the total distillate is not of
uniform quality in every wine. It scarcely need be added
that the greatest care must be ob.served at every stage of
the process, and that the distilling plant should be of the best
and most approved description.
WHE-RE IS THE FOOL-KILLER?
A companion of George Busby, a butcher at Jackson, Ky.,
proposed to pay for all the whisky he could drink. George got
away with twenty-four drinks and died the next morning.
John Kenny of Elizabeth, N. J., for a wager of ten dollars,
ate fifty-one fried eggs in nine and a quarter minutes. He died
the next morning.
A woman in New York drank twenty-seven cups of tea.
The funeral was largely attended.
A man in New York drank fifteen glasses of water. He
now lies among the daisies.
A man in Ohio ate ten quarts of peanuts. He's a corpse.
A man smoked twenty boxes of cigarettes in New Jersey in
one day. He will smoke brimstone hereafter.
The prohibition theory is that because one fool killed him-
self by drinking too much whisky the 21,000,000 of people should
be deprived of using it in moderation. If this is correct, then
eggs, tea, peanuts, cigarettes and water must be put on the pro-
hibitory list.

The nvwt prominent and far,rea<-hing in all it« evil ettects ih
U.e <leftnition of the term "winery." Should thifi dehnitioii be
allowwl to remain unehang.il, then the wine and brandy inaustry
of thi« State would l>e completely ruined, bringing great liardshipb
and HufferingH to the manv thousands <lepending upon this in-
dustry for their very- existence, not to speak of the enormous
lotw of capital invested in plants throughout the length and
hrea<lth of the State.
In onler to overcome this difficulty, it is earnestly recom-
nieuded to mo<lifv this definition so as to read as follows:
"The term 'winery" shall be held to be that place or estab-
li8hment which is regularly e<iuipped and used solely for the
manufacture of wines or brandy, or Iwth, from grapes exclusively,
and which depends for its supply of grapes, either upon the vine-
yanl or vineyards owned by the proprietor of the winery, or on
vineyartls not so owihhI, but owned by grape growers residing in
the "vicinity of such winery, and which winery relies upon its
supply of grape« by purchast> in the open market during the sea-
son of the year when grajH"** are ripe, commonly termed 'vintage,'
and embracing the i>eriod of time from July 1st to December Ist
of each year; and further that Regulations Number One and
Two in.sued to CoUec-tors and Gangers, on Page 4 of Appendix 2,
to Supplement 2 of Series 7, No. 5, be changed to conform to the
above definition."
In order to point out the imperative necessity of making the
above change, it will only be necessary to state, that, from the
nature of circumstance*, the wine industry of this State is divided
into two branches — the grape growers and the wine makers or
winerie«. By far the greater number of grape growers have no
wineries of their own, but depend upon the sale of their product
to the local wineries for their verj' existence. With equal truth,
the wineries, as a class, do not own their vineyards and depend
on the purchase of their grapes in open market from the grape
growers in their vicinity, just as the grain distillers in the East,
de[>«nd ujwn the purchase of their raw material in open market.
While it is true that a few wineries own vineyards and are
located on the same, yet none of these wineries can or do raise
miflicient grapes to supply their wants, and all rely mainly on
purchase. There is to-day but one establishment of the kind
that could comply with the regulations as they now stand, and
that is the establishment of Senator Iceland Stanford. Unless the
regulations are change<l as suggested, this industry will find itself
kilUnl at one blow, inst«Mi<l of being benefitted by the Sweet Wine
Bill; ami it is c«'rtainly not the intention of the law, nor of your
Honorable S<'lf. to make regulations that shall so seriously inter-
fere with the succ«'ssful pursuit of an industry that has given
the Htat*' its prosjwrity, afforded employment and furnished
homes to many thousands, and paid annually a fair amount of
internal revenue.
Another |)oint of great im{M)rtunce is presented in the poor
and to some extent impnu-ticable process laid down by the regu-
lations giving dirci'tions for gaugersiu exiimining musts, etc. In
lieu of issuing transfer stamps and stMiling i)a<!kages (mly to be
open<*<t again, et<'., the following plan is submitted for considera-
tion. As far as pr*?sent4Kl to the consi<leration of maiiufacturei-s,
it has met with their iiiKiualified cons<'nt and ajjproval:
1. All wineries and distilleries producring more than twenty
thousand gallons of braii<ly jkt season for entry into special
bonded warehouse, should be placc<l on practically* the same foot-
i„. MS -la.n distilleries, and be provided with one or moi
,riii"-rr-^ and slorfkccjicrs.
> ihcv <li ill liave their bonded distillery warehouse fo
.l..|M.'itin- tlie brandy distilled by them, the same as whisky di
" •{' ^ riiev sliall have a cistern room, suitably arranged wit
f.nkV -auLn^d. et.'. It shall, however, not be necessary that
1 ' run s^.all h. kept separate, but successive distillations mt
; n.n into the same tank until the same is filled. Tins excej
., , is made ..wingto the fa.>t that the disti lat.on of frmtbr^C
\l not a c.ntim.ous operation, as is the distillation of spir ts froi
grain, but the same depends upon circumstancas beyond the corf
trol of the distiller. , ,. ^ .
4 Constitute the cellars of all such establishments as man-
ufaetiiring warehouses under the charge of a proper officer
This Dlaii has the advantages of simplicity in execution and
„racticahility. and will afford protection to the government
whih- facilitating the legitimate business of the wine make- and
distiller Not only (!an the ganger and storekeeper be utilized to
gauge brandy intended for deposit in the warehouse, almost as
fiist as made, l>ut he is always at hand to superintend the fortif, -
<.ation of sweet wines whenever demanded, thus protecting tu
wine maker from unnecessary loss. Furthermore, instead of tlic
old-fashion -d per diem method of pay, under which a gauge.
would not care to gauge more than thirty packages per day, and
which plan has long siuce proved inadequate to the demands of
the legitimate brandy industry, he should be allowed a fair rate
of compensation on the basis of every hundred or thousand gal-
lons gauged by him. , . , . .^ . ^
,5 Whenever the wine maker desires to use spirits tor tor-
tifvin^ purposes, he should be permitted to draw from the cistern
room "so much as needed. This shall be done under the super-
vision and in the presence of the gauger and storekeeper, and
the latter shall also supervise the actual use of such spirits; and
shall make out on a special form prepared for such ptirpose, in
quintuplicate. a statement certifying that he has used, or per-
mitted to be used proof gallons of spirits for fortification pur-
poses only. Two of these copies ought to be handed to the dis-
tiller or wine maker, the others to be forwarded to the Collector
of the District, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washing-
ton, and one to be kept by the gauger or filed with the local -
office. Of the two copies handed to the distiller, he shall keep
one on file in his office, the other to be attached to his monthly
return of the distillery's operations; the object being that this
shall be his voucher for the use of such brandy as may have been
used during the month for fortifying purposes.
(5. The use of transfer stamps to be continued as laid down
in the regulations at present, in the case of such wineries or dis-
tilleries whose output of brandy for entry into special bonded
warehouse shall fall below twenty thousand gallons; and which,
from the limited nature of their operations may not require a
gauger and storekeeper permanently located on the premises
during the season.
7. It is considered unnecessary as well as useless to seal
the tanks in which the spirits and sweet wine have been dumped,
as the mere fortifying does not complete the wine ready for the
market, it having to be racked off, clarified or blended, as neces-
sity may demand, to suit the needs of the wine and the conveni-
ence of the business.
8. Finally, Section 42 of the Sweet Wine Bill should be
supplemented by a ruling of the Commissioner, permitting the
use of such spirits as may be necessary to fortify sweet wines to
an alcoholic strength of twenty per cent, by volume, without re-
gard to the limitation of the quantity of spirits used to accom-
plish this result, should such require an addition of spirits in
excess of the fourteen per cent, by volume required under the
present law.
In conclusion, these matters should receive the prompt and
careful consideration to which they are entitled. The industry
is too important, and its interests in the State too vast to permit
any more unnecessary delays. Already inquiries are being made
on all sides as to the prospects for operations next season, the
prospective prices for grapes and other matters connected with
the industry; and it is high time that this industry and all con-
(^erned be relieved from this long continued spell of doubt and
uncertainty which has so seriously interferred with the prosperity
of the business for a number of years past, and that it be
fU5Corded the real protection and care which the government is
so careful to bestow upon all other lines of legitimate industry.

"Die business of distilling New England rum is confined to
seven concerns in and around Boston, and these concerns make
95 per cent, of all the rum made in the world. The purest of
water and the finest grades of molasses are used. Rum is one
of the purest liquors, and this recommendation together with its
comparative cheapness, is the reason why it is sold among savage
and half-civilized people to the exclusion of everything else.
Rum and missionaries do go together everywhere. More than
half the rum made is exported, most of all to the west coast of
Africa, next to the Barbary coast and Gibraltar, and lastly to
the islands of the Pacific Ocean. Time was when Boston ships
carried it direct to the East Indies, but now it is exported to
London and distributed from there. There is a concern in
France that manufactures rum, but the amount is inconsiderable.
The rum of the whole world has been made in Boston for half a
century, and the business has been handed down from father to
son. The distilling of rum is a simple process, but the standard
of puiity maintained has enabled the seven old concerns to defy
competition.

new t». Ik- familiar witli the notorious fact that the IukIi tax on
whisky is r.-allv rwiM)iisihIe for adulteration and for the forcing
into <-.«) sumption of voung and immature whisky. An iiuhmiti'd
extension wouhl. it istrue. <h) away with the latter evil, hut by no
means witli the former. A tax of ninety ceiitH per gallon, on a
comm<Klitv soeaiMd)le of adulteration as whisky, is a most potent
encouragi'inent to im-n who love money more than an approving
caoMcientv. and «> l<mg assueh a hiirden is sustainetl. so long will

of ante Mli'm (hi vs. when tJiere was no internal revenue t:ix,
there wa« likewise no adulteration of spirits, for the simple rea.sou
that there was no pn>mium on such practices. It is only under
a tax that we uwd f«ir a eheaiM-niiig process; And so, the higher
the tax is. the more et)m|)Ounding there will Ix'.
As to the Review's de<'laration. that a reduction of the tax
on 8piritM would Ik- follow«'<l by a continuous season of drunken-
ne»w upon the |mrt of the people, we have only to say that a pro-
hibitionist, a woman, or some one interested in a competitive in-
dustrj- must have inspired the expression. A reduction of the
tax to fiftv cents would not mesin cheaper whisky so much as
older and "pim-r whisky, but even though the effect should be to
reduce retail values jM'Veeptibly. we have confidence enough in
the common sense of the peojAc to b«'licve that they would find
nothing in this to cans*; thein to lose their heads, throw away
their self-resjiect. and make sots of themselves. Such an argu-
ment might go with a prohibitionist, but not with one familiar
with the fa<-t that there are no* more temperate people, as a rule,
than distillers and dealei-s, who can drink as often as they wish,
and of the best, without once going into their pockets to pay for
the same.
But there is little probability, we fear, of the tax on whisky
being re<luced so long as the expenditures of government are in
k(>eping with thost> established hy Mr. Reeds Billion Dollar Cou-
grcHH. so there is no nee<l for the editors of the Review losing
Bleep over the matter, for the present at any rate.
While there are some points on the above with which we
agree, there are others from which we must dissent. The exten-
sion of the Imnded jM>ri(Ml will meet with determined opposition
in some quartei-s and more so in the case of whisky than with
fruit brandy Hut we are with the Bulletin that the period ought
to be made unltinite<l. and if that is impossible at this time, it
Hhould at least be made five years. The brandy distillers not
having such large lM)nded st<wks as compared with the demand,
a» the whisky distillers, there is less immediate need for an
extension for them, than for the men from Kentucky, Tennessee,
Pennsylvania and Maryland. There is to-day not over one
year's ctmHiimption of brandy in bond, while the whisky men
have all they can look after. But our ultimate needs are just as
prewing an those of the whisky distillers.
With P'-<lit<)r Washburne w<' do not think that there is the
leant prolMibility of any reduction of the internal revenue tax on
Hpirits U'ing attempt«>d at this wssion. Indeed if any changes
are (^mtemplate<l we Indieve that it would be in the direction of
an increaw to sjiy $1..V» per gallon. This w(nild of course be re-
HiMted by all the grain distillers but we are not so certain that the
leading distillers of this State would offer no objections. As a
matter of fact we ihi not know that any one here would objc<'t to
a tax not of 81 ..Vt but of 8'.'.(li», and there is at least one man who
would weh'imie an int4>rnal revenue tax of $4 if the bonded
pericHl wen- extended indefinitely or as to allow his product to
mature profM-rly U-fore Ix-ing marketed.
We do not s*-*' the force of the argument that a fifty cent
tax would stimulate the sah- of lH'tt»'r giKxls. If so. whv is it
that tlietiigii
We think as a matter ol ^. , . .u a c ^u
lu.liniited, the distillers of ageing whiskies, the producers of the
old-fashioned .sour mash goods could well afford to see the tax go
up to 81 50. It is the cheap, early maturing whisky and spirit
distillers who would lose trade and prestige. The brandy distill-
ers of ( 'alifornia do not care one whit if the tax on distilled spirits
is iiureascd. They will contest to the end any proposed reduc-
As to the point that cheap whiskies will not breed Prohibi-
tionists take the example of ante helium days. There was a time,
as stated by the Bulletin, when there was no internal revenue tax.
The habits of the people were such then, that a wave of prohibi-
tion sentiment swept the country, the like of which has never
been known. Prohibitory laws were passed in enough states to
make the present array of dry states look miserable by compari-
son. We hold, all that the Bulletin can declare to the contrary,
that that internal revenue tax acts as just so much license, puts
the price up and prevents every man from having a barrel in his
cellar. For a liquor trade journal to oppose license is something
new in class journalism.

tam (Hty liquor firm, an.l wa^ arr.-wt«'d tho day aftor tho Original
Package IJiw went into effect. He clainii-d that the law was
unconstitutional, and also that it could n-.g" into operation until
the State reT<'!:act«Ml its pr(.hil.it<.ry law.s.
The Circuit Court dwidcl agjiiiiHt the State and the case was
broiight here on api)oal. The Supn'nie Court says the power of a
8Ute to iinpoHe rt^traintH and burdens upon persons and property
in promotion of puhli.- h.-alth. R(K)d order and prosperity is a
power always iK-lonRiiiR to the State. The power of Congress to
regulate comment among the several States when the subjects
are national in their nature is also exclusive, but it was left free
by U>e Constitution ex.-ept sis Congress might undertake to regu-
late it. Intoxicating liquors are undoubtedly subjects of com-
merce like any other commodity, but. nevertheless, it has often
been held that laws prohibiting the manufacture and sale of
liquor within the State limits do not necessarily infringe any con-
stitutional privilege or immunity. This right rests upon the ac-
knowle<lg«Hl right of States to control their purely internal
affairs.
The Iowa laws held to be unconstitutional in the Leisy orig-
inal package ca«e were enacted in the exercise of State police
power, but as it amounted to the regidation of interstate com-
merce it waj* held that so long as Congress did not pass any law
to reflate specifically the traffic between States on intoxicating
liquors nor act in such a way a« to allow State laws to operate
upon it. Congress thereby indicated its will that such commerce
gliould be free and untrammeled, and therefore the laws of Iowa
were inoperative, in »o far as they amounted to regulation of
foreign interstate commerce in inhibiting the reception of such
articles within the State or their sale upon arrival in the form in
which they are importe<l. It follows that when Congress acted
at all, the re«ult of it« action must be ta operate as a restraint
upon that perfect freedom which its silence insured. Congress
has now spoken, and declared that imported liquors shall, upon
arrival in a State, fall within the category of domestic articles of
a similar nature. Congrt-ss did not use terms of permission to
the State to act, but simply removed the impediment to the en-
forcement of State laws in respe<'t to imported piKikages in their
original condition created by the absence of specific utterance
upon its parts.
The Act of Congress removed the obstacle, and no adapiate
ground is |K-rceive<l for holding that the re-enactment of the
State law was r(.<|uire<l l)efore it could have the effect upon im-
ported which it always had upon domestic property. Jurisdic-
tion is attachwl. not in virtue of the laws of Congress, but because
that law pla<,-cd the property where jurisdiction could attach.
The de<'ision is in the line of ke«!ping the Prohibition .(ues-
tion from becoming a national issue and confining it to State
lines.
The wntents of a Inittle of claret added to a quart of water
which has siinmere<l for half an hour in company with sugar,
clovw. and ciiinanion, and allowed just sullicient time to become
thon.ughly hot and to impregnate its<'lf with the spiced water,
pro<luc<w half a gallon of a m.wt comfortable beverage, a whole
tninblerful of which may be taken without fear of consequences
by the most alwteminous.
eURI/NG ACID WIMES.
Italian wine journals attach much importance to a proposal
,,(■ a w.'U-knowii Koinan .enologist, Signer Fl. Mengarini, to re-
mnvf the a.vtic acid from acid wines by subjecting them to the
.„.li„;, „r uasccnl of hydrogen developed by electricity.- The
ai.i.aratus and mode .>f procedure may be briefly described as
follows:
\ decu enamelled earthenware vessel, of one hectolitre
(twentv-tw.) t;alloiis) capacity, with close-fitting lid, is provided
for the" wine. On the bottom of this vessel rests a carbon disc,
a foot in diameter, with a carbon rod or point enclosed in a glass
tube rising through the lid of the vessel, and connected with the
negative {.ole of an electric battery. Through the lid is also in-
serted a smaller earthenware vessel, about a foot in diameter,
with a stout parchment bottom, which rests in contact with the
surface of the wine in the larger vessel. This smaller vessel,
which is filled with a mixture of spirit and water, contains a
similar carbon disc and point connected with the positive end of
the battery. When the electric cir(!uit is completed, oxygen is
liberated from the positive pole externally, whilst volumes of hy-
drogen are liberated from the negative pole at the bottom of the
larger vessel, and, rising in currents through the volume of wine,
destroying the acetic acid, and escaping through perforations pro-
vided for the purpose in the lid. In Mengarini's first experiment
a sound wine with 7.200 per cent, of total acid had become
pricked and the total acid increased to 8.228 per cent. Treat-
ment with nascent hydrogen for eight hours reduced the aeid to
(>..">,3 per cent. In a second experiment, the same wine was left
until the total acid had increased to 10.0.3 per cent. After nine
hours treatment it was 8.07 per cent. only. After the treatment,
the wine is put in a well-sulphured cask with a dose of fusel-free
spirit, oris heated to (.0° C. (140f Fahr.), to destroy any lingering
germs of acetic ferment. Mengarini uses two to eight zinc and
carbon elements, and a solution of one hundred parts by weight
of bichromate of potash in three hundred parts sulphuric acid
and six hundred parts water. He reckons that the electric por-
tion of the apparatus can be provided by any filter of electric
bells, at a cost of about three lire (francs) per element.
Dr. J. Bersh, a well-known Austrian authority, regards
Mengarini's method as the only practicable w^ay of dealing with
acetic acid in wine without introducing iindesired soluble coni-
pountls. He recommends that the earthenware holder be replaced
by a wide shallow vessel of paraffined wood, capable of holding
20-2.5 hect. (450-500 gallons) of wine. In this, should be placed
a number of carbon discs, all connected with each other with tlu^
negative end of the battery. As the acidity can be tested in a
few minutes, samples should be drawn and tested repeatedly
during the process.
EASILg EXPLAI/NED.
Will the Pacific Wine and Spiuit Review explain the
causes that led to the defeat of the license measures at the last
session of the Legislature? — Prohibit'wni»t.
Certainly. It is a short story and easily told. The Prohi-
bitionists with their .307 votes in San Francisco, have sunk to
such a low ebb in public estimation that the State Protective
Association, which is virtually maintained by the San Francisco
wholestile trade, did not deem it worth while to move. It taki -
considerable ■'temperance" agitation to arouse the trade. The
license measures could' have been had easily enough, friend
Sheahan, had some one taken hold in earnest.
eHA/NGE AT THE VI/NA -RA/NCH.
There has been a change in the administration of the Vina
Ranch of Senator Stanford. The management of the entir.^
plac^has been centralized instead of being conducted in separate
departments.
AV. 11. Smith, the Superintendent of the ranch aside from
the vineyard, has resigned and both the vineyard and outside
properties has been brought under one head. Captain 11. W.
Mclntyre the able superintendent of the vineyard becomes gen-
eral manager of the whole ranch of 59,000 acres including the
:5,800 acres of vineyard, while J. S. Copeland becomes general
superint4'udent under Captain Mclntyre. The change is one that
is peculiarly gratifying to Captain Mclntyre's friends and is a
deserved testimonial to his ability as a manager.

A MOO/NSHI/NE-R'S PROFITS.
A Word About Those Who Kive the. Internal Revenue Department
So Much Trouble.
lu spite of the dangers of his trade, the moonshiner sehloni
makes more than a bare living says a Louisville correspondent
of the New York Herald. In the first place, he is usually poverty-
stricken. It takes but little to start him in business. A capital
of $100 to $150 is all that is necessary. Still this generally taxes
his slender resources to the utmost. He must first go or send to
some city and get his still and worm. These have to be made by
coppersmiths, and such mechanics are not found in villages.
The manufacture of these is required to be registered by law, but
the moonshiner is not the only violator of the regulations of the
internal revenue department. This is shown by the fact that
during the past six or seven years, over seven thousand stills have
been destroyed by revenue raiders, and yet during that time the
twenty-dollar tax assessed on the manufacturer for each still
made has been paid on only 2,000. There are two reasons for
this. One is the temptation to evade the tax of twenty dollars.
The other is that when the tax is paid the still is registered, and
can thus be easily traced by the Government. The moonshiner
would never buy a registered still for this last reason. He has
the still and worm secretly made and shipped to his mountain
home in the guise of a music box, organ or case of dry goods.
An ox team, possibly hitched to the primitive sled, hauls the
contraband goods to the place where the distillery is to be located.
Tliis is always on a small stream, and the lonelier and more in-
accessible the spot is, the better. The distillery must be moved
every few months, and this adds no little to the expense of the
business. A great deal of this work must be done by man labor,
as neither horse nor ox teams may penetrate to the most favor-
able distillery sites. In a few weeks or months the place of the
still becomes well known to the neighbors. Then it must be
moved again, lest it be visited by the prowling raider.
The most valuable part of the moonshiner's plant is not the
still nor the mash-tubs. The tubs he can manufacture himself, and
some ingenious mountaineers show great skill in making rude
but serviceable stills. But the worm is indispensable, costly,
impossible for him to make, and hard to get from a coppersmith.
The worm is easily destroyed by the raider, who can chop it up
beyond repair in a few minutes. Not so with the stills. Some-
times raiders discover a still which has been patched up almost
beyond recognition and unless entirely destroyed the patient
'"shiner" will manage to get it again in shape to do good work.
As this can not be done with a worm, the latter is always carried
carried off if possible. Often and often have the mountaineers
risked liberty and even life to save their worm from the fierce
raiders. Mr. Wilmore says, and all acquainted with the product
of the moonshiner will agree with him, that "mountain dew"
is a villianous drink. It is pure white, raw and fiery. It is
never ripened by age, and the distillers pay no attention to the
principles of scientific fermentation. They run off the spirits
when hot, and so depraved are their tastes that they drink it
fresh from the still. The liquor is little like genuine Kentucky
hand-made "sour-mash" bourbon, carefully distilled and mellowed
by age until not a trace of fusel oil remains, with a beady sparkle
that rests .upon the thick amber surface, as it is possible to
imagine. Yet the mountaineer prefers his white whisky to the
choicest product of the finest distillery in the "Corn-Cracker State.
Such is taste after all — merely a matter of usage and cultivation.
The moonshiner never ventures to keep more than a small
stouk of spirits on hand. The risk is too great. At any time a
neighbor may inform upon him, or any enemy revenge an insult
by bringing the raiders to capture and destroy. When a few
gallons have been run off the raw spirit, rank with fusel oil, it is
peddled out and drunk up before a fresh supply is distilled.
Disposing of the product is one of the riskiest parts of the busi-
ness. Sometimes this work is intrusted to the women and girls
of the moonshiner's family. A little cabin is built near a town,
and the well-known "blind tiger" is operated. More frequently
the distiller peddles the stuff" around in villages after dark. Pic-
nics, revival meeting, political speakings, and all sorts of gath-
erings, are bonanzas for the trade. The liquor seller conceals
himself in bushes, or some secluded spot, and starts out runners,
who makes his presence known. Business is always brisk. Men
will buy whisky of whatever manufacture, no matter where it is
sold or what price is asked. No wonder that so many picnics
and political meetings end in drunken quarrels and bloodshed.
But, as I said before, the business is not profitable. The
stuff usually sells at two dollars a gallon, or from fifty to seven-
ty-five cents a quart. Usually two gallons is the quantity of
spirits distilled from a bushel of grain. Corn is always scarce
and high in the mountains, where the farms are small, the land
poor, and the farmers shiftless to a remarkable degree. The
distiller buj's or "swaps" liquor for a few bushels of grain, sends
it a "turn" at a time to mill on horseback, and slowly ferments
the meal. All the work is very slow. Another thing that re-
duces the profits is the necessity the moonshiner is under of
keeping a gang around him for purpose of defense and other as-
sistance. These drink up much of his liquor and never pay. He
does not dare to offend them; they might tell the "raiders" if he
should. Or the distillers may be fond of his own brand, and
drink up the profits in that manner.
Trulj' the way of the moonshiner is hard.
DIFFE-RE/NCE I/N WHISKIES.
A chemist speaking of whiskies says: When one drinks a
glass of whiskey and the palate or stomach revolts instanter;
and another brand is tried and the entire system receives the
draught with satisfaction and delight. What makes the differ-
ence? Whiskies are not one and the same thing. Some are raw,
irritating and unwholesome; others are mild, delicious, and in
every way conducive to health. It is the same with apples. A
green one plucked from the boughs or gathered from some force-
ful windfall is deleterious in every respect. The child who eats
it is stricken with cholera morbus and the adult with gastritis.
The powerful oil and chemical compounds which are evolved in
the growth of the fruit and which are not destroyed until ma-
turity, when the sunshine, soil and fresh air convert them into
healthful compounds act as mere drugs or even poisons, and ex-
cite the digestive system to such an extent, that Nature in her
desire to expel a dangerous intruder, calls upon disease, to aid
her in her attempt to dislodge the newcomer. Whisky in this
regard differs in no wise from apples. When raw or green it
acts as a drug or poison. The amylic spirit and compound
ethers and alcohols it contains act as powerful cathartics or
drastics, and so occasion pain, sickness and sometimes even
graver injury to the physical organization. As it ages and
ripens these elements undergo a change into agreeable bodies
which chemically is exactly the same as the change in unripe
fruit from the irritating and poisonous ingredients into the de-
licious nutriment and equisite flavor of the ripe article. This
is the reason why every expert prefers an old to a new whisky,
and why the mild, rich brands are superior to the harsh unripe
fusel oil, grades so common in the market of to-daj'. There are
but few whiskies at the present time which represent in the best
way this ripening process.
These goods, which we are selling largely to wine and cham-
pagne manufacturers throughout the country, are perfectly tree
from the smallest speck of dirt or dust, and are beautifully trans-
parent. They are not like the sugary stuff sometimes sold as
rock candy.
In ten barrel lots, we sell the crystals at a slight advance on
the cost of refined sugar. Samples on application.

THE eHAMPAG/NE TKAIDE.
Tlie annual statistics furnished by the Reims C'hamber of
Commerce show that a large increase has taken place during the
twelve months ended April Ist in the amount of trade done, the
figures for the last two years evidencing that 1890-91 Was ahead
of its predecessor to the extent of 6,078,040 bottles. Turning to
the amount of bottled stock, the falling oflf which We had to
record last May still continues, the amount now being 60,2'73,995
bottles as compared with 63,796,719 bottles in 1889-90, and
75,573,232 bottles in 1888-89. An increased consumption and a
decreasing stock are antagonistic facts to which our friends on
the other side must give their closest attention. We annex the
following figures showing the variation in trade and in bottled
stock since 1860, as given by the Reims Chamber: —

Beware of OintmentH for Catarrh
that contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering il through the
mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions from
reputable pliysicians, as the damage they 1
will do is ten-fold to the good you can
possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and
is taken inteinaily. and acts directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tem. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be
sure you get tlie genuine. It is taken in-
ternally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F.
J. Cheney i% Co.

IT PAYS TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW IT.
Every business man who consults his health and ;;ueceBS in business mnf.t eat,
and not only eat regularly,- but must eat such food as will be readily digested, with
such surroundings as will make his meal not only
A BUSINESS MATTER OF NECESSITY
but a pleasurable digression from business care.
When such a meal can be obtained at a trilling expense, and be productive of
happiness and renewed, if not increased energy, a business man is foolish Indeed to
not embrace the prospective opportunity.
Such a meal can be obtained, and the above described results attained by takinx
a lunch with us, between the hours of 11 A. M. and 2:30 v. H. We serve a six coarse
lunch for 50 cents.
In the evening we serve, from 4:30 to 8:30 P. M., an eight-course dinner for
75 cents
Besides our service a la carte receives prompt attention, and our rcstauiant U
most elegantly furnished.
Iteferring to our experience, both in the Old and New World, ae restauranteurs
with the fact that the cuisine and dining room is under our direct and continual
supervision, we guarantee the best satisfaction.
Being confident that we can please you in the smallest particulars, we respect*
fully solicit your patronage.

MA-RKET -REVIEW.
/California wines — The spring movement of wines to
^ the East has been unusually large, as the statistics already
published in the Review will show. It would be a pleasure to
report that the price has been correspondingly satisfactory, but
such is not the case.
The movement of wines from the country is not as great as
the producers would like to see. There is still a large stock in
most of the interior cellars, much of which, must of necessity be
cleared out before the next vintage. The Santa Clara vineyard-
ists are reported to hold unusually large stocks of red wines, and
Napa county has still many unsold lots.
Prices remain unchanged and no improvement is looked
for inasmuch as the summer slackness is coming on.
Sweet wines are dull and nominal. There is some demand
from Eastern blenders for angelicas but otherwise the situation
is not promising.
Exports of wine by sea during the past fortnight were 774
There has been enough trouble over the chief of the Depart-
ment of Horticulture and Viticulture of the World's Fair to dis'
gust and embitter every bona fide viticulturist and horticulturist
in the State.
The row was started by M. H. De Young and was entirely
due to politics. Not content with attempting to thrust Max-
well the nonentity, into a position he was absolutely incapable of
filling, De Young deliberately defeated the confirmation of Gen-
eral Chipman, who, as every one knows, would have been satis-
factory. William Forsythe, a raisin packer, who knows abso-
lutely nothing about any other branch of viticulture and horti-
culture is now up for the place. We hope that he will be beaten,
inasmuch as he was virtually responsible with DeYoung for the
appearance of Maxwell on the scene. His confirmation will
mean that Maxwell will have a soft birth in any event.
We are unqualifiedly in favor of J. DeBarth Shorb, who is
more capable and better fitted for the place than any one yet
named. But DeYoung dislikes him and were he to be named it
is very likely that the DeYoung poinard would be unsheathed.
It is an outrage on the patient public that this creature
DeYoung has had so much to do with the matter already. If
DeYoung is to use the Fiiir as a means for providing offices for
his friends and iucidently filling his own pockets, the State
would be much better oft' without an exhibit.

Bend, at IiIh option a 7J for Mr. \Voo<l or a "j} for Mr. S<rott, just
an the faney plej»m»s.
We have read with eonsiderahle aniuwinent tlie diatril)0 in
the hwt isHue of the IMlrtin, in whieh the hedging act is very
laboriously p«>rfomied. In this connection we would offer our
CBteeme<l e6-lftlH)rer the Duke, the same suggestion which the
elder Janiet* Uortlon Bennett once gjvve his editorial writer. It
wai< this:
"Never let your op|>onent see that you lose jour temper.
Don't hack him with a meat ax hut tlay him with a razor."
Duke Washburne like all juvenile h.ands, essays the meat ax.
The Rkvikw however still lives and continues to grow in the
the fittlUlin'- field.
The article which the Duke no doubt considers the ablest
effort of his short career, contains a large wad of balderdash —
upon which the outage is not guaranteed — relative to his sending
canvaMsers all over the East in a bootles.s search for subscribers.
These canvassers, according to his say, never saw a Wine and
Spirit Rk\'ikw ki';king around any wholesale liquor house. This
is undoubt<Hlly true inasmuch as the Review is almost invariably
filed away for reference, while the few copies of the Bulletin our
Pacific Coast canvassers have ever seen, were, we deeply regret
to say, either carefully filed away in a waste bat-ket, or else were
promising candidates for that exalted position.
We have ma«le the Duke one flattering offer on our circulation.
He has seen fit to hedge on our proposition but comes back with
an offer of a paltry «100 that the Review has not 750 subscribers
in the Viwt. If the Duke will increase his offer somewhat so
that our California charities will receive something substantial,
we will guarantee to show not 750, but more than 1,200 bona fide
subfli-rilKsrs in the East principally among the importers and
wholesale liquor dealers. The list still grows.
In conclusion we would beg to refer the Duke to George P.
Rowell & Co's. .\merican Newspaper Directory the recognized
authority on newspaper circulation in the United States. This
authority gives the circulation of the two papers as follows:
PACIFIC WINE AND SPIRIT REVIEW. San Fran-
CI.CO. exceeding 2000 Copies
WINE AND SPIRIT BULLETIN. Uui.ville. exceed-
500 Copies.

Further comment is unnecessary except to say that it may
be a little cruel to the Jiullrtin to publish these facts. We beg
leave to remind the esteeme<l editor, Duke Washburne, that the
old saying alnnit chihiren playing with edged tools should have
been reineiubered by him.

And yet we are told that Prohibition prohibits.
SOME OF OUK F-RIEA^DS.
Although Duke Washburne of the Bulletin does not approve
of the Kevikw iind the manner in which it is conducted the same
is hardly true of other Eastern publishers.
Mida'a Criterion in a friendly article stated that the Duke
now has an oi)poitunity for his white alley and our $.3,000, to
say nothing of a hal.
The South Wext of (Mncinnati has this to say of the differencea
that have arisen:
The handsomest, best-edited, most readable and altogether
valuable li(iuor trade journal on our exchange list is the Pacific
Wine and Si'ikit Review, i)ublished by R. M. Wood & Co., San
Francisco, California. Its growth of circulation and rapid at-
tainment to the fii-st rank of journalism is phenomenal, speaking
volumes in praise of the managers for ability, energy and enter-
prise. Naturally such old fogy mud-turtles and leeches on the
trade as the Loui-wille Bulletin are envious of and spiteful toward
this new candidate that within a year or two has jumped away
in the lead, and in a recent issue intimated that the Occidental
bright light claimed too much circulation. Whereupon the pub-
lisher s(iuelehes the Athert(-n price list thusly:
(Here follows our challenge.)
The Rcriew man is safe. If Washburne don't get a hat till
he wears one so secured he will go to his grave bareheaded !
We have to thank our friends for their courtesies extended
on this occasion and beg to extend them due acknowledgement.
A/NOTHEK SEIZU-RE.
George Lang, the well known wholesale merchant is in
trouble. His distillery and winery at Calistoga and his establish-
ment in this city have been seized for an infraction of the Intern-
al Revenue laws. According to the statement of the Revenue
oihcials they have made an excellent case against him.
Last September several boxes labelled "frames" and "grapes"
were received at the Lang distillery at Calistoga. The Deputy
Collector at that place had the boxes opened, and instead of
"frames" and "grapes" the boxes were found to contain barrel
heads taken from empty whisky and brandy barrels. The
numbei-s for the stamps, etc., were taken by the Deputy, and the
boxes were carefully closed up. A sharp watch was thereafter
kept OQ the distillery. On May 5th one barrel of brandy came
from the distillery having one of the heads sent up months before.
June Ist two more barrels came from the distillery. Finally
others were detected, and on the 8th the distillery was seized.
A search was made in the city establishment, and the illicit
brandy was found there, all identified by the tell-tale barrel
heads. The case will no doubt be compromised.

AN AGKNOWLEOgEMENT.
THE TIMES' OPPORTU/NITg.
The New York Times has joined in the general attack on
California wines. Here is what that journal had to say in its
issue of April 21st anent the banquet of the American -Protective
Tariff League in New York:
It is only the prohibitory clauses toucliing wines and t<i^
bacco that have any real terrors for the protectionist of a culti-
vated palate. It is all very well to pretend that the loaded
clarets and the earthy champagnes of our native land are as good
as the imported fluids of the same name, when they are ofiered
to us by insensitive and patriotic friends. But to look forward
to a public dinner moistened only by these beverages and by a
native imitation of Apollinaris is an ordeal from which the ex-
perienced diner-out may not unjustifiably shrink.
This appalling prospect it may be which accounts for some
extraordinary lucuna; in the list of speakers who, when flown
with Zinfandel and Eclipse, are to address this remarkable
assembly upon sundry blessings of protection.
The Times is away behind the times. For its instruction we
might suggest that Zinfandel is considered by Californians at best
a second-class wine and is usually rated third-class. The Times
evidently does not recognize the merits of our wines if the French
experts at the Paris Exposition did.
We make the editor of the Times the following offers:
One hundred dollars in cash if he will pick a California
claret which we designate from five foreign clarets. All labels
to be i-emoved.
One hundred dollars in cash if he will pick Eclipse Cham-
pagne, cuvee to be selected by us, from five foreign champagnes^
labels and corks to be removed.
Here is a chance for the expert on "heavily loaded clarets
and Apollinaris."

IT PAYS TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW IT.
Every business man wlio consults his health and cuccpss in business must eat,
and not only eat regularly, but must eat such food as will be readily digested, with
such surroundings as will make his meal not only

but a pleasurable digression from business care.
When such a meal can be obtained at a tritiing expense, and be productive of
happiness and renewed, if not increased energy, a business man is foolish indeed to
not embrace the prospective opportunity.
Such a meal can be obtained, and the above described results attained by talcing
a lunch with us, between the hours of II A. M. and 2:30 P. M. We serve a six course
lunch for 50 cents.
In the evening we serve, from 4:30 to 8:30 P. M., an eight-course dinner for
75 cents *
Besides our service a la carte receives prompt attention, and our restaurant is
most elegantly furnished.

PROMI/ME/NT WINE MEM.
Sketch No. 7. Clarence M. Mann, Agent for I. De Turk.
Clarence M. Mann, the Pacific Coast representative of I.
Dc Turk, belongs to the new school of California wine merchants,
who are just l)eginning to make their influence felt in the busi-
n»>j«. Young, active, and with high business ability, he has
alrwuly achieved a fine reputation for himself in his chosen
ciilHng. He is one of the coming class, which rejects old tradi-
tions and the time honored practices of the trade.
Mr. Maun is a young man in years, and is comparatively
yi)ung in the trade an compared with many who have been in it
Hince the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. He was
iHini in New York thirty-one years ago, and was educated in his
native city, eventually entering Trinity College, one of the best
known e<iucational institutions in the East. On leaving college,
he entennl ujwn an active business life, first in New York, and
tlien in Chicago, in which place he secured a position with the
EiHcn Vineyard CJompany.
Eight years ago, he came to San Francisco, and for some
time he was cashier and lMM)k-keeper of the company, afterwards
becoming secretary, a position which he held for three years.
While with the Eisen Company, he gained a thorough insight
inU» the Hwoet wine business, and then, turning his attention to
tiry win.-H. lie identiried himself with the old house of William
T. Coleman & Co. which at one time had Mr. Do Turk's agency.
While with the- Coleman firm, he attracted the attention of
Mr. De Turk, luid when Colenuin failed, Mr. De Turk decided to
nwike Mr. .Mann his I'a<:ific coast representative.
.It was just twoytsars ago that the branch was opened at
210HacnimentoHtnH-t, inoneoftheold frame buildings in that
quarUT. The facilities for handling wmm were very limited,
«.nly a small sUxk .-ould Im- carried, and everything depended
u|K.n .Mr. Mann-s push and enterj)rim^ to make the business a
HUcccHs. That he Buc<-«HHled, and that tern beyond the most san-
guine ex|M'<-tationH is evidenced by the recent removal of the
brunch to the new and infinitely better quarters at 218 Sacra-
nu'uto street, which are in every way suited to the present re-
(luircnicnts of the city trade.
The main floor which has an area of twenty-five by one
liundrcd and twentv-flvc feet, fronts on Sacramento street and
extends through to Commercial street. This floor is devoted
principally to a suite of handsomely furnished and well equipped
ofllces, and the to storage of cased goods, which are a specialty
of the house. The cellar is considerably larger th'an the main
floor, extending under an adjoining building for a distance of sixty
feet. The total capacity of the place is about 75,000 gallons, which
is surticient for the ordinary requirements of the city trade. The
principal stock of wine, is, ofcourse, carried at the De Turk vault>
iu Santa Eosa.
^\r. Mann was married last October to Miss Hattie Gage,
daughter of Mr. W^ S. Gage, one of the best known citizens in
San Francisco. He and his wife are prominent figures in San
Francisco society, and their circle of friends is very extensive.
In person Mr. Mann is about medium height, and the photo-
graph of him here given is a very fair one. Courteous, bright and
accommodating, all business in business hours, he is winning a
splendid name as one of the rising young business men of the
city.
THE SAMDE-RS STILL.
It is
Endorsed by George West & Son of Stockton.
Messrs. Sanders & Co., the manufacturers of brandy stills,
have received the following letter concerning the merits of their
continuous .still :
El Pinal Vineyard, George West & Son.
Stockton, Cal., June 10th, 1891.
Me^m-g. Sanden & Co. Gentlemen^ — W^e can recommend your
still with pleasure, for we value it more than ever. We can get
more brandy out of wine with your still than we can out of any
we have ever used. Another advantage is we find that if we
have a very poor brandy we can mix it with say four or five
parts water and then run it through and get a good brandy.
While if the wine is good, all the brandy will be alike and all
good even down to the singlings. There does not seem to be
any poor stuff coming out at any time. If every distiller had
your stills we should get ten cents more for our brandy.
Yours Truly,
Geo. West & Son.
Among the other distillers that are using the Sanders stills
are the following : J. H. Wheeler, Bello Station ; W. B.
Bourn, St. Helena; Ewer & Atkinson, Rutherford; J. Crellin,
Pleasanton ; Buhach Producing and Manufacturing Company,
Atwater ; Kohler & P'rohling, San Francisco ; Barton Estate
Company, Fresno, and many others.
A BOOM TO SAMTA CLARA.
The purchase of the Pacific Winery by C. Carpy & Co., which
was noted in the last Review, ought to be a boon for the Santa
Clara grape growers. Heretofore they have had no steady mar-
ket for their grapes, the combined capacity of the wineries not
being sufficiently large to handle the yield. Last year large
quantities of grapes were shipped to Mr. Carpy's Napa Winery
from the Santa Clara Valley to say nothing of what went to the
West Winery in Stockton and to other buyers. Mr. Carpy an-
nounces that he will greatly increase the facilities at the Pacific
Winery assuring a steady market to all grape growers of the valley.
T-RADE ei-RCULAK.
From A. Overholt & 60.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 10th, 1891.
Dear Sir: We beg to call your attention to the above popu-
lar brand of pure rye whiskey and ask a comparison with any
other brand of pure rye whiskey offered for sale on the market.
Our goods are stored in heated brick warehouses, and our
cooperage the best that can be obtained. We ask for our goods
a trial, feeling assured they will give the highest satisfaction.

H. W. Crabb will soon depart for the east on business.
W. H. Castner the owner of the St. Helena Wine depot is
insolvent.
Frank West is expected back from Chicago in the course of
a few weeks.
pagne are steadily growing, the dry wine trade of the house is
increasing at a remarkable rate.
The ship Clan Macfarlane just in from Antwerp brought a
fine lot of re-imported whiskies. The total importations aggre-
gated 525 barrels of which 235 were for William Wolff & Co.,
the balance being divided into several lots. Mr. Wolff" says that
trade in these whiskies was never so good as now.
Felter Son & Co., the well-known Sacramento wholesale de-
alers have moved to this city.
Colonel Hermann Bendel writes from Germany that he is
meeting with gratifying success in introducing the Natoma brandy.
Edward Walden still remains in the State supervising the
shipment of brandy on the J. C. Pfluger. He expects to make
about 125,000 gallons of brandy this year.
Attention is called to the announcement of Bode & Haslett
which appears elsewhere, relative to their increased facilities for
storing brandy.
Kolb & Denhard have introduced a specially bottled "Bon-
anza" to the local trade and it is meeting with a splendid re-
ception. The firm will shortly introduce a large line of novelties.
Adolph Beck states that in spite of the general dullness of
trade the spocial brands of Beck, Pyhrr & Co. are holding up
well in the market, illustrating the value of having a meritorious
brand.
Grierson Oldham & Co., will soon receive another lot of
Eclipse Champagne especially prepared for the English market.
This cuvee Mr. Haraszthy considers as one of the finest he has
ever produced.
Australian producers are pushing for recognition as cham-
pagne makers. The first effort is called the "Great Western."
This is the same title as that of the Pleasant Valley Company
production.
The works of the American Champagne Co., are, it is report-
ed, soon to be removed to New York. The company has made
all its efforts for trade East of the Rockies and the change if
made, will be of benefit to them.
E. C. Priber will go east very shortly in the interest of the
Napa Valley Wine Co. The Company has lately made very heavy
shipments to New York. While in Chicago Mr. Priber will look
into the World's Fair situation.
Fred Siebe, of Siebe Bros. & Plagemann, says that the sales
of Belle of Bourbon are constantly on the increase. The firm
handles only the bottled goods. The demand for "Rosedale" the
special brand of the house keeps up steadily.
In our last number it was stated that Kohler & Frohling's
. dry wines were the only ones served at the American Protective
League banquet at New York. This is not entirely true.
Inglenook Burgundy had a proper place on the list.
Ninety barrels of wine were shipped to London to Grierson
Oldham & Co., on the 13th inst., per the steamer City of Sydney.
Mr. Oldham is evidently making it go in the old country. The
firm had an exhibit at the recent Royal Naval Exhibit in London.
Messrs. Blandy, Brothers & Co., 16, Mark-lane, London E.
C, inform us that they have been appointed sole agents in the
United Kingdom for the sale of the "Big Tree" brand of Cali-
fornian Wines and Brandies, the former of which they off"er in
bottle only.
Eugene J. Cantin one of the most active travelers in the
trade is back from an Eastern trip in the interest of Arpad Har-
aszthy & Co. He says that while the sales of "Eclipse" Cham-
The re-organized firm of Carroll & Carroll ought to be an ex-
ceedingly successful one. The business ability of George Carroll
is well known, and Messrs. McDonald and Graham, who are as-
sociated with him are bright young business men who have al-
ready made their mark. The Review wishes them all success.
The Amtraliav, Vigneron wants to know how much of the
wine imported into England and reported by the English trade
journals as from "othes countries" is California. We can
answer that question. England now takes about 50,000 gallons of
California wine annually, and shipments thither are rapidly
growing.
Thos. Kirkpatrick, of Moore, Hunt & Co., has returned from
a trip through the Northwest, in the interest of "Jesse Moore."
Kirkpatrick feels lost unless he makes this trip at least once in
four months, just for the sake of "Auld Lang Syne," to say noth-
ing of the handsome increase of business that follows his incur-
sions in Oregon and Washington.
Paul Husson, a prominent French resident, well-known in
banking and mercantile circles, died at his home 2011 Webster
street, recently. Mr. Husson came to America while a youth and
settled in New Orleans. Subsequently he came to this State and
engaged in the sheep-raising business, which yielded him a for-
tune. He was a heavy dealer in wines. He was 61 years of age
and leaves a family.
Mr. S. Glaser the energetic Coast representative of H. Brun
hild & Co., of New York, has moved his office from 414 Front
street to 217 Front street, the new quarters being in every way
more desirable. Mr. Glaser has returned from an extended busi-
ness trip, travelling all the way from El Paso to the British Col-
umbia line and the trip was the most successful he has yet made.
Business is reported as booming both by him and the parent
house in New York.
The Chamber of Commerce banquet was marked by the
liberal policy forced upon the Harrison banquet committee. Only
California dry wines were served, and California champagne had
a place of honor. The dry wines were Napa Valley Wine Co's
Hock, Wetmore's Haut Sauterne Souvenir, Inglenook Sauterne,
Inglenook Burgundy, Napa Valley Wine Co's claret, M. M.
Estee's Hedgeside claret. It is needless to add that Eclipse
champagne of Messrs Arpad Haraszthy & Co., was there.
Captain Harry Hunt, of Moore Hunt & Co., in the opinion
of all horsemen now sports the finest team of steppers in the
Park. Both are bays and are by Brigadier 2:21. They can
come very near to 2:35 on the speed track in the Park and many
an ambitious driver has had dust thrown in his ej'cs by the turn-
out. It is understood that Captain Hunt will shortly issue a
challenge to any member of the trade, driving single or double,
Arpad Haraszthy preferred. Stakes, one case of champagne.
Mr. Frank A. West, of the firm of George West & Son,
owners of the El Pinal Vineyard, at Stockton, Cal., was in New
York during the fortnight visiting their representatives in this
market, the Sonoma Wine and Brandy Co. Mr. West is in the
East in the interest of the Sweet Wine Makers Association and
the Viticultural Commission of California, to confer with the In-
ternal Revenue Department about the regulations governing the
Sweet Wine Law. Mr. West found the Commissioner very
kindly disposed, and the growers will be allowed the most liberal
interpretation of the law. — BonforVs.

In tho Democratic primary to-day, by secret ballot, Hon. E.
H. Taylor, Jr.. late Mayor of Frankfort and well-known distiller,
w(m the nomination for Representative from this county in the
next (J.«neral Assembly over Col. Thomas W. .Scott, a well-known
farmer, who once represented the county in tho Legislature. The
vote in the city for Mr. Taylor is so large it is known that it can
not b.> overcom3 by the vote in the county precincts that Mr.
Scott will receive. The nomination insures Mr. Taylor's election
unless the Farmers' Alliance takes a hand in the contest and
knocks out the Democratic majority that has heretofore been
given the nominee of tlie party. The Alliance is variously es-
timateil at between 1,200 and 1,800 members of the county, but
as Mr. Scott, though a member of tho Alliance, is a rock-bed
Democrat of the old school, it is not apprehended that he will
encourage his Alliance friends in any movement they may desire
to take to make a separate nomination. With Mr. Taylor as the
mcimber of the lower hou.so and Judge William Lindsay as a
hold-over Senator, the interests of Franklin county and especially
the city of Frankfort in the matter of an appropriation for the
State Capital buildings are not likely to suffer from want of at-
tention or ability. — Frankfort Dispa/ch in 7jOn!«ville Courier-Journal,

No firm in Kentucky enjoys the Confidence and respsct of
the trade for integrity and responsibility in a higher degree
than that of W. S. Hume & Co., of Silver Creek. Their fticilities
for making a high grade of bourbon and rye whisky, equal to
any made in the State, are well recognized and conceded, and
their brands are. therefore, constantly growing in favor and with
each year extending the area of their distribution. "Hume" is a
strictly sour mash whisky and the fermentation, in the point of
hours, is identicral with that of the hand made process in small
tulm. many distillers claming that greater uniformity of qual-
ity can Ik! attained by the mash being broken in large tubs
by steam power, than by the old process of mashing by hand in
small tulm. Messrs. Hume & Co., are extra careful in the selec-
tion of their grain and malt, buying none but the best. Mr. E.
n. Hume is a pnvctical distiller of many years' experience and
leaves no jwint undeveloped toward the production of the best
grades of >M>urlK>n and rye. One stH;ret in the results attained is
du«! to the large [)er(M;ntage of small grain they use. Their ware-
houses are cf)mpleto in every detail and so safe and substantial
that their insurance is the lowest in the State — 85 cents per SIOO.
The ccstperage is unex<!elled. Tho water is also the finest, being
from the famous Silver Creek. They guarantee "outs" in accor-
<lan<-e with the ('arlisle bill, and ship promptly f. o. b. In the
int<-r<'«ts of their patnms they elose<l their distillery on the 5th
inst., making 2,000 barrels less than in 'yo. The popularity of
their "Hume Rye" has grown so rapidly and especially in tho
VauX, they have been comiM-lled to make each year, for some
time pant, a double quantity, and have faiUnl, so far, to supply
the demand. With such a ie<'ord of merit as to (piality and
their manner of conducting business, there can be nothing but
success in the future for the firm and their patrons.— CVt<eno»i.
A few y««rs ago the suggestion that anyone could have
stepped into and filled the shoes of shrtwd and successful Geo.
W. Swearingon, at that time the President of the Mellwood Dis-
tillery Co., would have been treated as idle, indeed as impossible.
As a distiller of fine whisky Mr. Sweariugcu had, by quietly
followin'^r a well defined, conservative and most logically con-
ceived policy, attained a position so impregnable that his name
iM^came a synonym for a successful distiller, and the few express-
ions that he could bepersuaded to give utterance to were at all
times prized by distiller and dealer as worthy of their attention.
But the time came that Mr. .Swearingen, grown rich and ambit-
uous to give his talents play in other fields of endeavor, desired
to leave the business of manufacturer and entar upon the career
of a banker. In time he discovered on whom to cast his mantle,
in R. F. Balke, son of tho great billiard table manufacturer, and
brother-in-law of that prince of good follows, the universally pop-
ular Jake Schmidlapp, of Cincinnati. Fortunately Mr. Balke
wius young, open to suggestions, quick to see and appreciate,
steadfiust in his devotion to the teachings of experience, conser-
vative and executive. Seeing at once the wisdom of Mr. Swear-
ingen's line of policy he adopted it bodily without once consulting
vanity. Tho result is that the transition from Geo. W. Swearin-
gen President to R. F. Balke Pi-esident was accomplished without
so much as weakening the fiiith of one holder of the Mellwood
brands. Mr. Balke is about thirty years of age, although he
looks, speaks and acts like a man of forty. He is sociable in his
nature, attentive as a listener, slow to anger, broad and public-
spirited, careful of the minutest details, slow to change from a
beaten path, modest and retiring by nature. His offices are hand-
somaly fitted up, and he denies himself none of the comforts of
life. In a word, he is a healthy man with a healthj' mind, a
healthy business, and his brands are, in consequence, in a healthy
condition. — Bonforts.
A QUESTIO/N OF POLICg.
Our rural friends who own the St. Helena Star are the next
gentlemen to intimate that they, could conduct the Wine and
Spirit Review in a more satisfactory manner than we can. The
Star editorial writer takes his cue from Washburne of the
Wine and Spirit Bulletin and the principal cause of his complaint
is that we refrain from taking sides in what is supposed to bo the
eternal enmity between the wine makers and the wine mer-
chants.
Itlias been our fixed policy, and always willbe,nottobomixed
up in any contests such as have occurred in the past. It is our
aim to make the Review the exponent of the entire industry and
not of any part of it. We think that the wisdom of this course
has been fully endorsed by the leading producers as well as the
wine merchants. If the St. Helena Star doubts it, we might sug-
gest to the owners that we probably have as many staunch
supporters in the Napa Valley as they have.
The Star goes on the assumption that there must of neces-
sity be a perpetual clash and dispute between the two classes.
We fail to see why, any more than that there should be constant .
trouble between buyers and sellers in any line of trade. Indi-
vidual dispute and disagreements there may be, but we should
despair if we thought that hot-heads, such as the Star men, would
again precipitate the open ill feeling of three, four and five years
ago. It is to the interest of neither producer nor merchant that
tho trouble should be unending.
These goods, which we are selling largelj' to wine and cham-
pagne manufiicturers throughout tho country, are perfectly tree
from the smallest speck of dirt or dust, and are beautifully trans-
parent. They are not like the sugary stuff sometimes sold as
rock candy.
In ten barrel lots, we sell the crystals at a slight advance on
the cost of refined sugar. Samples on application.

[regulak correspondence.]
Chicago, June 10, 1891.
The old statement that there is nothing new under the sun
certainly holds good at this time in the matter of liquor markets
in Chicago. The heated term has been very slow in coming on,
and the result is that even the retailer has only had a few days
of good work. The races at the Spring meeting came' while the
weather was still very fine for beaver overcoats, though it was
the last week in May, and the refreshment business languished
accordingly.
There is no great movement of goods at this time, as most
buyers are of the opinion that they will b j able to stock up later
on an ecjually as low if not lower rate. The orders that are
given are, therefore, just for the requirements of the time being.
They are necessarily small, and thus the trade is lagging fear-
fully. While it is not probable that there will be any sharp
advance in prices, in the immediate future-at least, yet there is
a well-defined hope that before this time next year there will be
better demand for goods and at much better rates.
California goods are still in the ascendency, and unless some
bad blunder is made they will remain at the head of the proces-
sion from this time on. The time has come when consumers
have ceased to haggle over the price, and only ask for the guar-
antee of the quality. The firm that will place only tiptop Cali-
fornia wines on this market, and suffer none other to pass under
its label, has onlj' to come here and establish that fact to build
up a trade that will be at once remunerative and gratifying. But
the whole State of California must not move over here next week
and expect to get right into a big, fat trade the week following
their arrival. While the demand for California goods is increas-
ing very satisfactorily and rapidly, it cannot bo forced. If let
alone it will grow into a wonderful giant with a most capacious
maw, but if forced it will dwarf and lose much of the lifj it now
possesses.
This is California's golden opportunity, and if due judgment
and honesty is exercised the time is not far distant when her
wines and brandies will rank with the best products of the old
world. The California producer must keep in mind that the
people of the east are not fools, and that they have notions of
their own about things which must be catered to if their trade is
secured. They can do without the California product much
bett'jr than the California growjr can dispense with the eastern
consumer. There are two things to overcome— prejudice and
C3mpetition. The former is fast disappearing, but it is a sort of
cat having nine lives, and may ba readily and suddenly resur-
rected at any time that the California goods do not keep up to
grade. The latter lives forever, and must be downed in the in-
evitable contest as best it may be; but it must be remembered
that when it is quiescent it is only back in its corner regaining
its wind for another round.
That there is a great amount of California wine sold under
foreign label there can be no doubt, and the worst of it is that it
is not always of an inferior grade. There is only one "way to suc-
cassfuUy combat that evil, and that is to educate the people up
to the fiict that there are certain houses where the pure goods
may be had and that nothing but first-class goods are to be had
for love or money from that place. It will soon be that the peo-
ple who want the best of goods, and they are about the only
consumers of wine, in homes especially, will go at onca to those
places where they are sure they will not be swindled.
Mr. H. W. Crabb will visit Chicago very shortly and will
probably add some new features to his already most successful
business here.
Mr. Cone, representing the To-Kalon Wine Co., is out on
the road with a line of samples of Vina brandies. He is sending
in a very satisfactory line of orders. " -
The California Viticultural Restaurant and Cafe is doing a
very satisfactory business for a starter. It is one of those things
to which the people must become educated. That Mr. Franckx
is a most excellent caterer then can be no doubt, and it only re-
quires a little time to have the people of Chicago discover the
fact.
James Barrett, of "Prune Juice" fame, has on his return
trip from California stopped oif at Chicago and other Western
points to gather in the remaining straggling orders for the cur-
rent season. The success Mr. Barrett has achieved with his
"Prune Juice" is unparalleled, and this is certainly due both to
the intrinsic merits of the goods aa well as to the indomitable
energy he displays and the judicious advertising he gives it.
Ernest Dichman, President of the Edge Hill Wine Co-., of
New York, passed through Chicago on his return from California,
stopping off a few hours to shake hands with his friends here,
who were sorry his stay was so limited. Mr. Dichman promised,
however, to return soon and make a longer stay. The wines of
the Edge Hill Wine Co. are known to belong to the class that
will redound to the best interests of California, as the company
is ambitious to introduce only the best goods into the market
and establish a reputation for purity and quality.

Cincinnati, June 10, 1891.
It is to be expected that at this season of the year the whis-
ky market will be dull and featureless, and will remain so until
the summer months have passed.
About the only feature of the market has been the sharp
advance in the leading brands of Eastern ryes. This was
certainly a surprise to the tradd. Nothing of the kind was
expected in the face of the large crop of whisky made during
the past season. We are glad to say, however, that it shows an
undoubted confidence on the part of buyers occuring at a time
when whiskies are not expected to advance; and in spit3 of the
fact that so much whisky has been made during the coming sea-
son. It shows that there has been established a confidence which
is a necessity at this time to maintain the whisky market.
Kentucky goods are about stationary in price, with a
slight advanca on some goods. All who are able to hold
over goods are doing so, and I do not know of many lots that
have been sold under market price. Such sales are like the an-
gel's visits "Few and far between." All the trade seems satisfied
with the present state of affairs, and are holding their stocks for
better prices.
The recent advance in Eastern ryes has had an excellent ef-
fect on Kentucky goods, and especially on ryes, and the trade
seems to thiuk that t'.iere will be a-.ioth)r a^rjeable surprijs in
store for them shortly.
There has been much talk recently in regard to the flurry in
New York about the Government seizing re-imported whisky for
alleged violation of the revenue laws. It is a boon for home-
stored goods, but we hope such a sensation will prove a "myth."
Col. E. H. Taylor Jr., the prominent Distiller of Frankfort,
K> ., paid us a visit last week on his way home from Florida. Mr.
Taylor reports the sale of "Old Taylor," good.
Mr. E. M. Branible, of Cynthiana, was in the city the past
fortnight.
Col. J. B. Testes, of the firm J. B. Testes & Co., Detroit,
called and reports trade satisfactory in his section.
Mr. James Megibben, of T. J. Megibben Co. Distillers of the
"Edgewater" and "Shawhan", w.is in th3 city the past week and
was successful in placing a round lot of '91s of both brands, rye
and bourbon.
W. Culinan, of the St. Louis Branch of the Napa Valley
Wine Co., called last week. Mr. Culman with the assistance of
the Cincinnati representative, Mr. J. Shields, succeeded in plac-
ing several good lots of wine.
Mr. J. B. Watheu, the distiller of the celebrated "J. B.
Wathen & Bro." whisky, was in the city last week. The many
patrons of "Wathen" have induced the Company to bottle the old
goods at the distillery ,^ and they have met with great success.
The Company has placed 500 ciises in this city alone, and as
many in New York and Boston.
J. M. Atherton was a visitor on Change last week.

P-RA/SK WEST AB-ROAD.
Advices from Washington state that Frank West is securing
a.s liU-i-al an interpretation of the Sweet Wine Law as the Com-
missioner of Internal Revenue thinks possible under the wording
of the law.
The only point on which a dangerous hitch is made and ont
that evidently will have to be settled in the courts, is the word
" vineyard " that occurs in the section of the law requiring tln'
fortilication of the wine to be done at the. vineyard of the pm
ducer where the grapes ar crushed, etc.
The Commissioner thinks that a winery on a railroad line a
little removed from the vineyard is not a part of the "vineyard:
and we are informed that several companies, the Pomona Wiii'
Co. for instance, will not be allowed to make sweet wine thi~
year, using free brandy.
We would especially call attention to the argument of
Charles A. Wetmore on this point, which appears in another
part of this issue. The law was intended to benefit all sweet
wine makers and not a certain class by a twist on that word
" vineyard."
If the Commissioner insistson this point acase will have to he
taken to court and if it is, Mr.Mason and his office will be thoroughly
beaten on the points at igsue. If this point is not conceded,
as in all fairness and right it should, the sweet wine men should
all assist in bringing one test case to issue. It can easily b'
done, without the Department getting a chance to assess, by
fortifying sweet wine with brandy distilled at one of the wineri( -
tabooed by Commissioner Mason and then refusing to paj' tli<
90-cent tax. This will necessitate seizure and then the court>
can easily settle the question.
The Internal Revenue Department has thus far been
exceedingly fair in its dealings with the wine makers and we
should regret to see the necessity of making a struggle of the
kind outlined, forced upon our wine makers. We only want
right and justice and we can assure Commissioner Mason that
confiscation of any winery by the courts under the circum-
stances mentioned would be absolutely impossible.
SAVED $2,000 BY SPRAYING WITH THE I X L COMPOUND.

IX L Compound Co., Room 5, 218 California St., San FrancMco:
— Gentlemen: My experiment with your I X L Compound has
convinced me that it was money well invested with prompt div-
idend beyond my expectation.
December 16th, to 20th. I sprayed to destroy all insect pests
during the warm bright days when the bugs were lively.
March 22nd., to 26th. Again I sprayed Bartlett pears with
the I X L to remove the pear blight and used the "Excelsior"
wash with twenty pounds of whale oil soap to 100 gallons of watt, r
on early apples for the Codlin Moth just after the apples were
formed. At this date the pears aiul apple* are free from worms and
blight of any kind.
May 18th. The canker worm made its appearance for the
first time on the cherry trees. One days spraying with the I X L
saved twenty tons of Royal Ann and Black Tartarian Cherries..
May 27th. The rainfall of .72 removed every particle of
sulphur on the vines so they had to be immediately sulphured
again; while some old vines sprayed with I X L and Whale Oil
Soap for mildew, using it on the vines for a substitute, was not
removed by rain. The grapes are well set, the foliage is healthy
and vigcjrous, the orchard appears to be free from insect pests.
The iruit crop on this place is estimated at five hundred tons this
season. Yours truly,

/NOTES.
British Consular reports from Spain and Portugal announce
he remarkable success of the system of grafting American on
lative vines, which results in preventing phylloxera and produe-
ng a good wine. The Consul at Madeira writes that a large
imount of new vines, mostly American, have been planted in the
listricts most celebrated for tlieir wine and produces a superior
[uality. On the north side of the island, where all the vines
vere destroyed by phylloxera years ago, the new vines have
[iven their first fine crop.
the proprietors by the superior quality of the yield over the un-
grafted American vine, which gives a good, though inferior
quality of Wine, suited for consumption in the Island. At Sao
Vincente, on the North side of the Island, where all vines were
destroyed by the phylloxera some years ago, the new vines have
given their first crop. The vintage of 1890 may be taken as a
fairly good one, though prices of 'musts' have ruled high, and
will continue so until the peasantry can get their loved beverage
of sugar-cane rum, of whi(^h none has b(»en made for some years,
owing to the disease in the sugar-canes."
"Heywood's Rape of Lucrece," 1638, has a verse:
"The Russ drinks quass; Dutch, Lubeck beer,
And that is strong and mighty.
The Briton he Metheglin quaffs.
The Irish Aqua vitse;
The French affect the Orleans grape,
The Spaniard tast^^s his Sherry;
The English none of these can scape.
But he with all makes merry."
"Then give us wine to drown the cares
Of life, in our declining years.
That we may gain, if Heaven thinks fitting,
By drinking, what we lost by eating.
For tho' mankind, for that offence.
Were doomed to labor ever since.
Yet mercy has the grape empowered
To sweeten what tho apple soured."
— Canto IV., Tavern Tormentors.
Consul Keene in a report on the trade and commerce of
f Madeira for the year 1890, writes as follow.s: —
"Of lata years there has been a considerable number of new
ines planted, mostly the American vine, on which, in the districts
lost celcb.-ated for good Wine, the proprietors graft the Verdelho,
r Tintu. This grafting of the batter kind of grape naturally pays
The wine production of the Austrian empii-e (as distinct
from the kingdom of Hunnary) in 1890 is returned as follows:
Lower Austria, 1,017,000 hect.; Styria, 477,000 hect.; Carinthia,
6,700 hect.; Carniola, 1(>4,000 hect.; the Tyrol and Yozarll>erg,
250,000 hect.; Coast districts. .545,000 hect.; Dalmatia, 9.37,000
hect.; Bohemia, 6,300 hect.; Moravia, 216,100 hect.; making a
total of 3,()13.00O hect., against 4,106,000 hect. in 1889. Com-
pared with the annual averages of the fifteen years, 1875-89, the
production of 1890 shows a decrease of 10.33 per cent, in Lower
Austria, and an increase of 15-18 per cent, in Moravia and the
Coast Districts.
The French Consul at Quebec writes: Within the last two
or three years efforts have been made by various French firms to
introduce pure French wines into Canada, and, still more re-
cently, the representative of an important Bordeaux syndicate
of wine growers has come over here with a view to starting an
import trade by the proprietors themselves. The high import
duties imposed on our wines are one reason why they are pur-
chased only by the well-to-do classes, and a further cause which
hinders their sale is to be found in the iiiinous system of credit
which prevails throughout the country. The finer kinds of
French wines and liqueurs are not appreciated, the Canadians
generally preferring Spanish and Portuguese wines, which are
much more highly alcoholised and of a very inferioi- quality.

Pnrifif Wine and Spirit Revietv, /Son Francisco. Col., — Gentle-
men: We notice from the trade circulars that there is some
Spring '90 "Glenmore" (under special bargains) being quoted at
32J oentn. We desire to enlighten the trade generally as to the
fraud being practiced on our customers in the following manner:
In the season of 1890, we were earnestly solicited to manufacture
some whisky at the Glenmore Distillery, under special brands, for
parties who claimed they desired the goods for their own special
trade. In making these goods, we sold them cheaper than our
straight -Glenmore.'' These goods are now being thrown on the
market and privately sold as "Glenmore." Such, however,is not the
case and we desire to open the eyes of our friends and customers
l>efore tliey suffer the injustice that miglit be done them. We
warn all parties dealing in our Glenmore to be very particular
alK)ut se<'ing that they are getting straiglit Glenmore and not let
spurious brands Ije palmed off on them. »
Yours respectfully,
Glenmore Distilling Co.

There is now nothing like it in the market, excepting some which
are made from «t«««-nces. V^ory respectfully,

Dear Sir:— We have now brought our champagne to perfec-
ti.m. It is made from the Ix-st California wine, is light in color,
will remain clear, and not change color. It sparkles well, and

this line. Very n-spect fully,

represented to be like "Barrett's Unrivalled," and at a lowe
price.
The ablest blenders, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, kno^
from experience that there is only one perfect prune juice; tha
one is Barrett's Unrivalled, and no such value as we are noi

THE T-RCIST'S COUP.
The facts concerning the absorption of the Shufeldt and Cal
umet Distilleries at Chicago by the Distilling; and Catt'e Fecdir
Company, have long sinc3 bee.i learned by the Trade. The Trus
in securing the control of these two establfshmenls, has places
itself in an unassailable position until some new company cai
get into this field. We think that the eslablishinent of a ncA
opposition distillery with a plant of sufficient size to give th
Trust plenty of trouble is one of the certainties of the nea-r futurt
Such an institution could be started if only for the purpose c
being bought out, and the opportunity is too alluring to be re
sisted by F^astern capitalists.
In this connection it might be well to state that the indict
ment against George J. Gibson, ex-Secretary of the Trust, fo
conspiring to blow up the Shufeldt plant, has been quashed. It i
not generally thought that he will be prosecuted as vigorouslj' a
he would have been had H. H. Shufeldt & Co. remained on thi
outside.
The Eastern dealers apparently do not like the situation a
all. Dispatches from Chicago state that eighty of the prlncipa
rectifiers have already started up a movement to build anothe
independent concern. Most of them bought of Shufeldt and th
Calumet Company before the latest combination was effected, am
could get their spirits cheaper and have no rebate system. Thes^
men use about 3,000,000 gallons annually. Four of the leadin,
Milwaukee dealers are also reported to be on the point of runn
ing their own distillery.
All of these movements will depend, though to a great ex
tent on the practical results obtained by the use of "Takamine,
the new ferment discovered by a Jap, whose process is controlle(
by the Trust. The claim is made that fifteen cents is saved oi
each bushel of mash when this ferment is used. If this is sc
intending competitors will probably be scarce.
The new change does not affect the situation on this Coaa
where the Trust spirits are and were used almost exclusively
The dealers who support the California Distillery at Antioch, sa]
that they will remain true to the local company and so it is diffi
cult to see how this new order of affairs will work any changes

Senator Blackburn was out in the Indian Territory hunting.
He went into Shelby ville, Ky., a few days ago to tell the boys
about it. He said that one of the strangest things to him was
the Indian's love of whisky. He said: "You fellows all think
that you like a good dram, but you are nothing to an Indian.
I'll tell you what happened to me. I was riding along by myself
when a great big Indian overtook me. He could talk a little
English and I could talk enough Indian to pass a few remarks
about the weather. He seemed to be such a pleasant old fellow
that I took out my flask and gave him a touch up with some old
Kentucky whisky. Well, that Indian brightened up like a new
dollar, and in less than five minutes wanted to trade for the
whisky. At first he offered me a deer he had killed, but I
wouldn't take it. Then he threw me a pair of moccasins, but I
wouldn't trade. He offered me his rifle and I refused that. And
finally, gentlemen, that copper-colored inebriate offered me his
horse, saddle, rifle, moccasins and a dead deer for that half pint
of whisky. Did you ever hear of a man that fond of whisky?" -
The crowd thought it was wonderful, but one fellow said:
"Say. Joe, why didn't you accept his offer?"
"My God, man!" said the Senator, "it was thelast half pint
I had."

to be rwluMMl pro|Kirtionately as the sujfar shall fall uuder 22
por cent, hut no variation in price for sugar contained above the
stanilanl. If variation in prici- should be (ixe<l for gra|)es above
the standard it would probably defeat the puri>os«> of the organi-
zation by causing growers to refuw to pick early when rwiuire<l.
Pnwtical men will l>e fnn' to say that grapes distilled and
sold within six months aAer vintage will return an income of
more than 810 [M-r ton. so that this figure for nominal prices is
within reason.
.\s s4ion as llu" grajHw have Im'cu by these trustees fermented,
iliHiilUHi and soUl. the distillery buildings, cooperage and other
appurt(>nan(*es which have been created in order to work this
plan, nwy Im« then fmt of debt and transferred to tlie proposed
<t>in|mny an«l stm-k issuet| to those who furnished grapes in pro-.
pitrtion to the nominal value as agreed. In this way an effective
plant for distilling can Ik' created and paid for witliin six months
fn>m the time of vintage, and there would probably bt; also a
profit out of which a dividend might be declared or which might
be Itetter usetl in adding further facilities and cooperage, so that
during the next year, if deemed a<lvisable. a portion of the crops
offered by the stockholders might be kept as wine without dis-
tilling.
Now. an to the practical method of perfecting this plan in
the diffen-nt ItKriilities. the trouble with the vine growers is that
not many of them csin [my assessmente iji cash, but nearly all of
them could furnish from one-half to the entire amount of their
crops in lieu of cash; some might not be able to furnish more
than half, reserving the other half for sale elsewhere to cover
their current ex))enses. The tru.stee, or trustees, who undertake
to ««rry out such a plan after they have procured valid contracts
for thegnifK* with authority to dispose of them as has been sug-
gfxti'd. would find little diflSculty in procuring capital or credit
to create the nect-ssary plant, with the assurance that they oould
gtvp. that the pnHlm-t in brandy would be realized upon' within
Hix months: in faet. I know now that contracts with responsible
IMirtiifi could Im- pro«-ured for the sale of this brandy before the
vintage-, so that those who would 1h« lending credit to these asso-
HatiouH would take no risks.
.Now as to the prolmble cost of such an operation. Roughly
e»<timate«l. «1.5.(KH» would Im- ami)le to 8(H-ure land, construct
cheap buildinp^ for f«-rmentation only, thinks for fermentation, to-
gether with an adjac«-nt distillery of the most improved and
eflw-tive iwttern, (-apable of managing 2.(HH) tons of grapes in one
Neaiwn. Thew- 2.tMH» tons of grapes would realize when sold as
brandy within six months not less than 82(».(MMl. so there would
lieasuri.luM for managenu-nt and expenses of operation It is
won- than prolwbh- that there would Im- an income of at least
$r,,HiH) mon- whi(-h could In- us4-d to increjwe the fa<-ilities of this

Reports were submitted by Manager C. J. Wetmore and
Secretary Scott.
The Board det-ided to employ W. C. Spencar to continue his
(-xperiments in treating wine with alternating electric currents.
Mi-. West oflered tin- following resolution relative to the
pr.-paration of a work on brandy distillation:
Rrmlivd, That the Chief Executive Officer be and he is
hereby directed to l)egin at once the preparation of a thorough
and exhaustive work on ])randy distillation and that the same he
published at the earliest possible day.
The resolution was adopted. Action was also taken on the
rwiuest of the Department of Agi-iculture at Washington for a
r(-i)ort on wiue adulterations by referring the same to Prof. Rising
for a special report.
When the election of officers was called up, Charles A.
Wetmore sent in a letter thanking the Commiasion for the cour-
tesies extended him in his official connection and declining re-
election as Chief Executive Officer. The election was then pMV
ceeded with as follows:
President. J. De Barth Shorb of San Gabriel; Vice-President,
(jriH)rge West of Stockton; Treasurer, John T. Doyle of Menlo
Park; Secretary, Winfield Scott of San Francisco; Chief Execu-
tive Officer, Clarence J. Wetmore of Livermore.
Mr. Blanchard offered the following resolution which was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of this Commission be and the
same is hereby tendered to I. De Turk, our outgoing President,
for tlie able, impartial and gentlemanly conduct in presiding over
this commission for the past year that we realize the fact that he
has been and is an indispensable factor in the efficacy of this
Commission.
Mr. Blanchard also offered the following resolutions which
was unanimously adopted:
-Remlved, That this Commission fully realize and appreciate
the valuable and indispensable services of Mr. C. A. Wetmore as
our outgoing Chief Executive Officer and some recognition of his
value to us. We hereby tender him our thanks and acknowl-
edge ourselves, and the State through us, under lasting obliga-
tions to him.
CE/ST-RAL PACIFIC WI/SE LIST.
steps should at once be taken by the Southern Pacific Com-
pany to revise the wine list used in the Dining Cars on the lino
of the Central Pacific. The list as now printed occupies a full
page. There are four foreign champagnes mentioned, three for-
eign clarets, wo foreign Burgundies, two foreign Hocks three of
other white wine^, and a miscellaneous collection of miueral
waters etc.
California wines are represented by "Ziufandel" and "Ries-
ling," with no brands and nothing to distinguish them.
This is not the sort of list that the Central Pacific should ,
permit on the cars on its line and we are certain that the man- |
agers will speedily rectify' the wine list to conform with what is
right and proper. We do not object to foreign wines for those
who want them, but a California railroad dining service should
have something aside from "Ziufandel" the cheapest of our ordi-
nary wiues, and one unknown "Riesling" on the list. The Cen-
tral Pacific- people are good honest Californians with none of the
Barnes blood in their veins. They must know that eastern peo-
ple traveling into the State, naturally want to try the wines.
\V by not have a collectionof the wines of reputable producers and
merchants with the brands given, to greet these people with?
W hat is the use of offering our guests second-class wine on the

they go to some fivshionable hotel like the Palace and find our

ports as to materials and i)ro<lncts, us the ("omniissioner of In-

Tn>asurj'. may prtvtTilK', so much of such wine spirits so
M>|»arHtiMi by him as may be nect*s.S!»ry for the preservation of
the Ka«vharine matter containecl therein:
First: This portion of Section 42 indiwites one class of pro-
duoen of Hwcet wine, who are entithnl to the benefits of the act.
The langua^' indicati's that it was the purpose of the law, that
Hwe«»t wine nntkers, who are also distillers of grape brandy, shall
eiyoy the privilege subject to departmental regulations, after
compliance with official rules riMjuiring such notices and bonds,
an the de|>artment may nyjuire. It is indicated also, that it was
exp<'cte<l, that the (iovernnient wiuiid demand the keeping of
some fonu of reconls and the rendition of reports concerning
materials and pro<IuctM. It is not to be presumed however, that
tlie department in exercising its authority' under this section,
will demand any unnecessary act on the i)art of the producer,
but rather that such regulations and demands shall be limited
only to the necessary rer{uirements of the Government, in order
to enable the purpose of the law to be fully attained without
chance of fraud. R^>gulations for the purpose of obtaining in-
formation other than that to which the Government is entitled in
iiH sup«'r>isory capa<'ity, would be foreign to the purpose of the
act.
Provided, that the wine spirits so used fret; of tax shall not be in
exoem of the amount required to introduce into such sweet
winenan alcoholic strength «|ual to fourteen per centum of the
volume of such wines after such use; provided further, that 8U(!h
wine containing after such fortification more than twenty-four
|)er centum of alcohol, as define<l by section three thousand
two hundre*! and forty-nine of the Revised Statutes, shall be
f<irfeit<'<l tr> the United States;
Secrmd: TheHe provisos indicate limitations proposed origin-
ally by the sweet wine proclucers, in order to indicate to the
(Jovemment their good faith when making their petition for re-
lief. It is plain however, from the context, that figures con-
tainwl in these provisos to measure limitations as purely
arbitrarj-. and might, with wisdom, have been more or less mod-
ine<l. Sulwtantinl c<unpliance with these restrictions is all that
the (iovernnient interest rwjuire.s. and it is not to be presumed,
that slight ern)rH innJicently committed, shall be the cause of
Ht^vere punishment, without previous op|)ortunity having been
given by the (Sovernment for corn-ction. where the same is prac-
ticable. For instance, it is not to »xj sup|K)sed, that it was the
intention of the (iovernnient to take advantage of any slight
clerical error in computing aWholi.. strength of a fortified wine
by cauMing m-izure to be made, when the error can \w re<-tified
before Oie goo«lH are releaw<l from the supervision of tlie gov-
eniment. Thin construction therefore would imply, that cases
might arise, where wine on.v fortified might n-.iuirc to be blended
with other wines, in onler to reduce strength a<(identallv f^)0
high. Iiefiire (iiiaJ rejMirt is ma<Ie.
In prmitical wine making the most careful wine niakers are
neoBUHarily dependent im.rc or 1.^, ui)on |M>orly e«lu<;il.Ml. though
Bkilled lalwr; errors in cnlcnhitions may easily be ma<le. an.l the
Uovernmnnt will sundy provi«le for their nM-tiflnation wbeiever
it is p()ssil>le ixf'mc proceeding to any severe measure in tin
nature of a jicnalty. Tlic restrictions provided for in this law
do not conti-niplatc |>eiia]ty. except in the case where fraud has
iM'cn iiiteiidcil. In this matter of Internal Revenue regulations,
the (iovernnient is practically the silent, though irresponsible
partner of tlie {»roducer, autliorized by law to insist upon its
rights, but not expected to bully its active partner, upon whose
energy and capital the business depends. This remark is only
tiirown in here ii.s suggestive, because the right of the Govern-
ment in such (piestions as this, is too often consided the only one
of importance. In the attempt to prevent fraud, the honest
man should not be subjected to ignominious treatment.
Prodded further, that such use of wine spirits free from tax shall
Ik- confined to the months of August, September, October, No-
vember, December, January, February, March, and April of
each year. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue in deter-
mining the liability of any distiller of fermented grape juice
to assessment under section three thousand three hundred and
nine of the Revised Statutes, is authorized to allow such dis-
tiller credit in his computation for the wine spirits used by him
in preparing sweet wine under the provisions of this section.
Third: The first portion of this proviso was in the original
draft of the law limited to the months of August to December
inclusive; the additional months were inserted to satisfy the de-
mands of wine makers East of the Rocky Mountains, who
followed the practice of adding saccharrine matter to dry wines
after perfect fermentation, and at a time which they could choose
at their pleasure, when they might need also to fortity with
spirits. The wine makers of California can avail themselves of
this extended period in some cases with advantage to themselves
and the Government; bilt inasmuch as the purpose of the law is
clearly indicated by this passage, to extend the privileges of the
act to those who are accustomed to practice fortification after the
first of January and before the first of May, it is to be presumed,
that where practicable, the department will construe this law for
the benefit of such producers.
Section 43. That the wine spirits mentioned in section forty-
two of tliis Act is the product resulting from the distillation of
fermented grape juice, and shall be held to include the product
commonly known as grape brandy;
Fourth: This portion of Section 43 plainly indicates, that
it was the intention of the Government to provide that the jmri
sweet wine to be fortified free of tax under this law should be
fortified only with pure grape brandy; it is to be expected there-
fore, that the department will make regulations to determine ac-
curately what "pure grape brandy" is under this section. The
question may be raised as to whether the distillates of grape
pomade fermented a second, third or fourth time, with the aid of
sugar and water added, can be considered grape brandy. ,
And the pure sweet wine which may be fortified free of tax as
provided in said section, is fermented grape juice only, and
shall contain no other substance of any kind whatever intro-
duced before, at the time of or after fermentation.
Fifth: This portion of Section 43, indicates, without any am-
biguity* that the relief granted by this law is intended solely for those
who make wine out of grapes and not for those who make arti-
ficial compounds or adulterated products, and means this and
nothing more and nothing less; it should not be construed to the
disa^lvantage of any one making pure sweet wine from grapes by
any methods recognized as legitimate among respectable wine
makers in countries where grapes grow to perfection and not
under protcist of nature. This provision should also not be con-
strued in any manner loosely, or so as to defeat the plain object
of the act. In order to fully consider the scope of this provision
of the law, it will be necessary to refer again to it when consider-
ing other sections and provisions.
.\nd such sweet wine shall contain not less than four per centum
of saccharine matter, which saccharine strength may be d«
termiiied by t<;,sting with Balling's saccharometer or mu9
scale such sweet wine after the evaporation of the spirits conj
tamed therein, and restoring the sample tested to origiua
volume by a<ldifi(m of water.

Sixth: Here again is a purely , arbitrary restriction inserted
in the law. as is known by the department, at the re<}uest of the
of the same producers who now ask for liberal construction of
the provision. In construing the purpose of the provision it is
hoped that the departmcMit will bear in mind the object that was
intended to be obtained and in all cases wliere such object is
practically obtained that it will consider the law complied with.
In asking the Government to fix this limitation at four per
cent, on sugar, the department should recognize that the sweet
wine makers of California were actually imposing upon them-
selves an injustice, but they did this in order to prevent the
purpose of the law from being perverted. There are many
cases when ligitimate sweet wine makers reciuire to fortify
wiue.i which have not more than one or two per cent of sugar.
This is true especially with regard to sherries. Limitation at
four per cent, was proposed in order to prevent producers of dry
wine from fraudulently fortifying clarets and other similar wines
under pretense that they were sweet which may often happen in
a slight degree. Such a fraud would only be practiced for the
purpose of creating wines to suit an ignoble trade, the object of
which is to add fortunes to retailers and not producers by giving
them materials which will "stand" watering.
To protect dry wine producers the sweet wine interest was
to some extent subordinated in this respect, and it was for this
reason that our producers insisted upon having the privilege of
fortifying sweet wine up to twenty-four per cent of alcoholic
strength. This degree is not necessary in practical work; ordi-
nary sherries are not fortified above eighteen per cent, seldom
above twenty. The sherry wine makers were told that under
the law they could fortify their sweet sherries up to twenty-four
per cent, and then after settling with the Government they could
cut them down with dry sherries to eighteen per cent, and not
have their sherries sweeter than required by trade.
The department should understand tliis little inside history
in order to thoroughly comprehend how to deal with this restric-
tion of four per cent. There is nothing in practical win j making
which should indicate that four per cent, should be the limit
rather than four and one-half, three and one-half, or five or six.
It is purely an arbitrary figure fixed for convenience. Therefore
in preparing this law it was considered sufficiently accurate for
the purpose intended to test the wines by the method indicated
with the aid of Baling's scale, and it is not intended that there
should be any hypercritical discussions to the accuracy of this
determination, because for practical purposes and for the interest
of the Government it is really immaterial whether the wine con-
tains three per cent, or five per cent, provided only it is sweet
enough that the purpose of the law shall not be perverted. All
Scientific discussions as to the accuracy of this method of deter-
mining the sugar are out of place; what is in order is something
simple and practical for the purpose intended; let the wine be
recognized as sweet wiue and distinguished as such from dry
wine — that is all that the law contemplates.
Slight technical inaccuracies are of no consequence either on
bjhalf of the Government or behalf of the producers in this
connection. Substantial compliance with restrictions of this
kind is all that the law retjuires. Producers should not be bur-
dened with troublesome questions as to precise scientific accuracy.
Section 44. That any person who shall use wine spirits as de-
fined by section forty-three of this Act, or other spirits on which
the Internal Rsvenue tax has not been paid, otherwise than
within the limitations set forth in section forty-three of this
Act, and iu accordance with the regulations made pursuant
to this Act, shall b3 liable to a penalty of double the amount
of the tax on the wine spirits or other spirits so unlawfully
used. Whenever it is impracticable in any case to ascertain
the quantity of wine spirits or other spirits that have been
used in violation of this Act in mixtures with auy wines, all
alcohol contained in such unlawful mixtures of wine with wine
spirits or otlier spirits in exc3ss of ten per centum shall be
held to be unlawfully used; provided, however, tliat if water has
been added to such unlawful mixtures either before, at the
time of, or after such unlawful use of wine spirits or other
spirits, all the alchol contained therein shall be considered to
have been unlawfully used. In reference to alcoholic strength
of wines and mixtures of wines with spirits in this Act, the
measurement is intended to be according to volume and not ac-
cording to weight.
Seventh: The provisions of Section 44 require no analysis
nor explanation of purpose. It is presumed however, that the
department will consider the penalties prescribed in this section
as applicable only in cases where intentional fraud is shown.
Section 45. That under such regulations and official supervision
and upon the execution of such entries, and the giving of such
bonds, bills of lading, and other security as the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, with the approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury, shall prescribe, any producer of sweet wine, as de-
fined by this Act, may withdraw wine spirits from any special
bonded warehouse free of tax, in original packages, in any
quantity not less than eighty wiue gallons, and may use so
much of the same as may be required by him, under such reg-
ulations, and after the filing of such notices and bonds, and
the keeping of such records, and the rendition of such reports
as to the materials and products and the disposition of the
same, as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, with the ap-
proval of the Secretary of the Treasury, shall prescribe, in
fortifying the sweet wine made by him for no other purpose, in
accordance with the limitations and provisions as to uses,
amount to be used, and the period for using the same, set forth
in section forty-two of this Act.
Eighth: The portion of Section 45 herein referred to requires
little analysis, it shows however, that the law contemplates a de-
mand for the use of free grape spirits during the full period
refjrred to in Section 42.
And the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, with the approval
of the Secretary of the Trea.sury, is authorized, whenever he
shall deem it necessary for the prevention of violations of this
law, to prescribe that wine spirits withdrawn under this sec-
tion shall not be used to fortify wines except at a certain dis-
tance prescribed by him from any distillery, rectifying house,
winery, or other establishment used for producing or storing
distilled spirits, or for making or storing wines other than
wines which are so fortified, and that in the building in which
such fortification of wines is practiced no wines or spirits other
than those permitted by his regulation shall be stored.
Ninth: This provision was specially intended to cover iso-
lated cases of application of this law. in regions East of the
Rocky Mountains, for which the withdrawal from bond was pro-
vided. It was presumed that there might be cases difficult to
supervise and that in such case the Commissioner might need
extraordinary powers to enable him to prevent fraud. By the
strict words of this section and this portion of this section it
will be perceived that the power of the Commissioner to compel
these peculiar acts is limited to cases where brandy for fortifica-
tion is withdrawn from the bonded warehouse and does not
apply in any case to wine makers who distill their brandy.
Cases may arise, as for instance in some states where only one
vineyard existed or in soms isolated region difficult of access,
where the officers of the government would find it difficult to
visit the scene of operations often, in such cases it might be
found necessary for the government to adopt extraordinary rules
to prevent fraud; all regulations therefore which presume the
necessity of such store houses or store tooms for the management
of sweet wine, should be considered in connection with this sec-
tion only and not in connection with distillers uuder Section 42.
To make this clear, look particularly at the specific words of
this section which says "that wine spirits withdrawn under this
section" etc., etc.
The use of wine spirits free of tax for the fortification of sweet
wines under this Act shall be begun and completed at the vine-
yard of the wine grower where the grapes are crushed and the
grape juice is expressed aud fermented.
Tenth: This limitation must necessarily be construed so as
to harmonize not only with the purposes of the act a.s a whole
but also with carefully specified details such as those expressed
in the first sentence of Section 42 and also the first sentence of

HultiMl. The pr<Mhn'«Ts in California did not know that any
ohanKi* wiu* eoiitemplated until after the law wiis finally enai'ted.
Xeverthelew they had repeatedly railed upon their members of
Cougrcjw to he informed whenever any change was proposed; this
explanation however, diHW not help the situation any, except an
it may have a hearinjj upon the lihcral construction of the t^rnis
uwmI. In the iK'^nnniuK of S;'ction 42 and also in the h.'sinning
of Swtion 45 it is plain that the (iovernment intended to grant
relief to "any producer of sweat wine" who otherwis;? fell within
the pur|iow of the act.
With the exwjition of this one word rineyard there is no in-
dication in the whole act. of r^'itriction of privilejea to the pro-
prietorn of vineyanls. In the sentence preceding the one con-
taining the word under- coU'^ideration the word winery is used and
it Ih plain that it was the intention of Congress to refer to wine-
riea where pure sweet wines are made rather than to vineyards
alone. A hrief review of the a<'tual condition of sweet wine
niHking on the F'acilic Cojwt would show that it would be absurd
to «uppoj*e the Congr^ws of the United States intended by this
law to di.scriminat? b;!twe3n the wineries where pure wines are
m:ul? upon vineyards oaly and wineries where similar pure wines
are made though situated for convenient reasons along the lines
of railwaj- where the grapes of wine growers are purchased. It
in a fact that two-thirds of all the sweet wines of California are
made at wineries from grapes grown in vineyards not controlled
by such wineries; to prevent such wineries from baneflting by
this act, would lie, in effect to give a manopjly to those other
wine makers who do not make and have not the facilities to
make more than one-third the market supply; it would be also
alwurd t<» suppnsi* that the many thousands of vine growers in
I'alifornia would have }H*titioned and consental to the enactment
of a law diminishing the nund)er of those to whom they could
wll grapiw. The strict construction of this sentence would in
many district* prc'vent all competition until new wineries are
created and would destroy the value of many valuable plants now
create!. It is n<Hther in the interest of the Government nor in
the interi-Ht of the grape grower that this word vineyard should
Ije construMl strictly; oidy those intarested in creating a monop-
oly could |>OHsihly gain any advantage from such construction
This statement is made forcildy in order that the department
may thoroughly understand the grievance that may be caused by
a nocc.*arily strict construction and not for the purpose of giving
oflenw to th(js3who <lo not fully appreciate this point. There is
at this junctiim a chance for a divergence of opinion; it is un-
doubte<lly int-nded by this act that itw measure of relief .should
be only t'l actual producers.. The provisions of the law plainly
indicate that it was inf :«nded to exclude tho.se who were only or
mainly dealers and not producers. It is eiwy eiu>ngli therefore
to «leviMe a m •thf)d of construing this word vineyard in harmony
with the whole act. in fa<t to <leline it as though it was written
winery and not vineyard. The law however must be taken as it
reads, and inasmuch as the word rlnnjard has been substituted
for irinrry, (iuery— are not thosi- wineries which have Iweik hntated

vvcrv vini'vard district in tliis State a great number of wineries
located along fl'i' l'"'"'' *'* railroad and in towns where labor is
available w liicli are imniediately connected in interest with vine-
yards in their vicinity whether it be a question of one, two or
more miles distant; in the ca«e of such vineyards or wineries the
department should construe the law as it was intended for the
benefit oi' '-any iiroducers of sweet wine."
It would be of course absurd to argue that a winery situated
in San Francisco connected with vineyards in Santa Clara county
shoul'l b;' considered integral parts of a vineyard within the
ra janing of this act; it is therefore only necessary in order to
harmonize these p-ovisions that the departmsnt shall declare
under what circumstances a winery not surrounded by a practi-
cal vineyard shall be declared to be aa integral part of a vine-
yard in that vicinity so as to permit the proprietors to enjoy the
b.ineftts of this act. If the department should be induced to
tiike a more strict view of this situ i ion it would be necessary to
conclude that Congress intended by this important word vineyard
to destroy the practical value of a large number of legitimate
win erie-s and to creat3 necessarily an uncalled-for monopoly. I
can cite a most notable case in point, viz.: that of the Gallegos
winery at Irvington in Alameda County, California. Here is an
instance of a large estate, having many hundred acres of vines
and much unoccupied land. The winery for this estate is located
at the railroad station for convenience of annual crops and trans-
pii-tation; the immediate adjoining lands have been segregated
and sold for community purposes, so that the winery, as I under-
stand it, has become detaehed from the main vineyard. Now
this particular winerj' is not only 0113 of the great prides of Cal-
ifornia but would be admired anywhere in the world. It has
cost a great sum of money and it would particularly ruin the
company to reduce its usefulness. If it should be decided that
because this winery is not immediately surrounded by the vines
which supply it with means for activity, a vast injustice would
be done. The Government would suiFer as well as the industry
and no one would be benefited. Similar cases exist all over the
State. Wine makers who have established themselves at avail-
able points for the purchase of grapes, who have not contemplated
this contingency, can easily connect themselves with the actual
vineyards which supplj' their grapes by legitimate contracts or
leases or purchase of lands, and the substantial intent of the law
will be provided for. It will not be necessary in making this
liberal construction of the word vineyard so as to conform with
the plain intent of other sections of this act, to o;)ea loap-holes
for the diversion of its benefits by construing the winery located
in one county in the midst of a large city to be coanscted as a
part of a vineyard in another county. It will be easy enough to
define within practical limits the connection between winery and
vineyard, so as to make this law practical and just.
Such use to be under the immediate supervision of an officer of
Internal Revenue, who shall make returns describing the kinds
and qualities of wine so fortified, and shall affix such stamps
and seals to the packages containing such wines as may be pre-
scribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue with the
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury;
Eleventh: Within the intent and meaning of this law, the
provision now (juoted should be transposed so as to follow the
connection of the succeeding and terminal part of this section re-
lating to the time within which wiiies fortified under this act
shall l)e held subject to inspection, and for accounting with the
(lovernment. The supervision provided foras well as also the
stamps and seals, cannot properly be construed except after prop-
er construction of the purposes of the succeeding lines relating
to period for inspecrtion and accounting. Therefore I pass on to
these lines and will discuss both together.
And the ('oiiiniis.sioner of Internal Revenue shall provide by
regulations the time within which the wines so fortified witlj
the wine spirits so withdrawn, may be subject t« inspection,
and for accounting for the use of such wine spirits, and for re-

warohousing, or for payment of the tax on any portion of snch
wine spirits wliicli remain not used in fortifying pure sweet
wines.
Twelfth: Tlie most important feature in this bill, is con-
tained in these lines, and it is because this has been overlooked
or misunderstood that most of the confusion under the operation'
of the law up to the present time has been occasioned. The
clause under consideration now, provides iu fact for a bonding
period variable in length according to circumstances during which
period the goods aifected are under the surveillance of the Gov-
einment. In every case of application for the privilege provided
foi- in this law, there should be determined a period during which
tlie inspection shall be exercised and all questions of accounling
shall be adjusted. Having properly construed this clause, it be-
comes plain what is intended by the use of stamps and seals pro-
vided for in the preceding lines. ,
In some cases there will be 'demand only for one single act
ol' fort i heat ion which can be concluded in a single day, after
which the (Jovernment has no further interest in the matter ex-
e.'pt to hold the goods under inspection until the linal accounting
for thc^ use of free spirits has b3en acsamplished. In such cases
the minimum time of inspection only will be required, and to this
tlu> producer will be entitled. The maximum period for the time
of supervision and accounting should bo granted to those "whose
work in preparing for market use, their sweet wines, necessarily
extend over various repeated operations for a considerable length
of time. Not having determined the time within which the su-
pi'rvisory control of the Government shall last, it is easy to uii-
derstand what kind of supervision is intended by the preceding
linos, and why stamps and seals ara provided for, as well as also
the time during which the use of such stamps shall be enforced
by the Government.
It is not to be presumed that the Government has intended
by this law to interfere in any way with any legitimately secret
or practical methods of conducting private business, so long as the
G.)vernment is satisfied that nothing but pure, sweet wines as
dclined by the act are subject to the privileges of this law. No
oHicer of the law should in any wise be permitted to exercise any
further inquisitorial powers. Producers who have succeeded in
pleasing the public by reason of superior skill, either by selection
of varieties of grapes, choice of location from which they are pro-
cured, etc., etc., should neither be subject to restriction, hindranca
nor inquisition on the part of a subordinate revenue officer, who
may be neither qualified to advise, nor honest enough to respect
the legitimate secrets of private business.
What then does the Government need? Certainly it is not
intended by this supervision to pry into the private business of
producers under any pretended plea that the Government rights
are in danger. The Government fears what? That the producer
will put in more spirits in his sweet wine than the law provides.
It is possible that some contingency might arise when such an
act might be profitable, but it is scarcely conceivable under pres-
ent conditions of sweet wine making and the market prices of
8])irits and wine. It takes an average of four and a half gallons
of wine to make a gallon of brandy. In making sweet wine it is
not to be presumed that the producer will in his own interest
seek to condense any larger portion of his wine into the form of
8] )irits than necessity compels him to do. There are very few
cases where any producer could use more brandy than the law
provides for in fortifying sweet wine, with profit. A good way,
therefore, for the Government to persue in making regulations to
prevent fraud, would be to first investigate what kinds of fraud
are likely to exist and be profitable, for I never heard of any one
in pi-actical business pursuing fraudulent measures for any other
business than to reap profit. The pure cussedness of human na-
ture which is a characteristic more of children, low politicians
and cranks, cuts very little figure in economic public questions.
Therefore the Government need not be alarmed for fear that more
than the quantity of spirits allowed by the law in making pure,
sweet wines will be used in tlio.se districts where grapes are plen-
tiful and where sweet wine production is normal.
Regulations under this law should be made to have local
significance. It would be unfair to the normal sweet wine pro-
duction of California to apply the same cautious restrictions and
supervisions that might be necessary in Ohio, Missouri or in ■
New York, where there is no such thing as normal sweet wine
making; therefore we have aright to ask the Government to rec-
ognize by regulations the characteristic distinction between dif-
ferent large districts of our country, and to relieve lis in Califor-
nia from certain inquisitorial regulations which might be suitable
for other (tommunities. Further discussion on this point is out
of place in this analysis of the law.
The supervision required under this act is not intended to
be paternal to the production of wines but simply watchful on the
part of the Government. The local officer immediately in contact
with the wine grower is not supposed to be capable of deciding
disputes and controlling the final accounting provided for in the
succeeding lines. Such a conclusion as would otherwise be drawn
would produce boundless confusion. The supervisory officer pro-
vided for herein is witness to acts done by the wine maker and
the agent of the Government to prevent tampering with the evi-
dence. It is the wine maker who will make the wine under this
act and not the agent of the Government; it is the Government's
witness who will testify as to the acts in case of disputes; and it
is a superior officer to whom accounting is made, and before
whom disputes are argued when necessity refjuires it; and it is
because such disputes are possible that in this law provision is
'made
First. For stamps and seals to identify packages during
the period of possible controversy and for the time within which
such possible disputes shall be decided. No stamps or seals
should be used in any manner so as to interfere with the practi-
cal work of the wine maker. It is a duty of the Government to
find its own means of self-protection without in any way injur-
ing the producer.
Second. For reports based upon the supervision required
under the law as to the acts of the wine maker supported by the
evidence secured by the stamps and seals; if there is to be a pos-
sible delinquency, there must bo detained by the Government the
goods delinquent; therefore the necessity for identification of pack-
ages by stamps and seals; but this identification should not be ob-
tained at the cost of the producer but at the cost of the Govern-
ment.
Third. The decision of the District Internal Revenue Col-
lector on final accounting between the producer and the Govern-
ment. It is pi-esumed that the local officer has fixed the time for
inspection sufficiently long to enable the Government to decide
any disputes that may arise. Having decided these possible dis-
putes and having given official receipts on final accounting, the
producer becomes once more a tree American citizen. His goods
are free from stamps and seals and supervisions.
I Now, having reviewed the three practical acts oftheGov-
ijrnment done in its own interest and in the interest of the pro-
ducer; viz.:
First. Fixing the period of protection which might be
termed bonding;
Second. Seals and stamps to identify goods under inspec-
tion.
Third. Official accounting with the local District Collector.
It is plain however, that some complication may arise where-
by a modification of the period for inspection and accounting
must be contemplated. Suppose for instance, a grower having
done what he thinks he is entitled to do under the law without
intending to defraud, has been carried before the District Collector
by the supervising officer and the decision being unfavorable to
the producer, the grower appeals to the Department in Washing-
ton; in such u case the producer demanding further time should
grant the Government further time in holding his goods and for
the pui-po.se of appeal, he should be allowed to ask for an exten-
sion of time for the surveillance by the Government. The time
for settlement should be subject to amendment or extension of
time, in case a producer demands it in order to protect himself
against adverse rulings. Assume however, that after final ac-
counting and the release of the goods which have been held un-
der supervision, the Government discovers some evidence to in-
dicate that it has been defrauded; in such a case the Government
should proceed against the bondsmen and not against the goods
• — in other words, the Government should not become the cause
of disorder in trade through its own negligence and incompetency.
Further than this the Government should limit the time during
which the bonds shall by subject to enforcement, and this limita-
tion should be as short as possible. No private citizen should be
required to guarantee the Government against incompetency of
public officers ifbr any longer time than is absolutely required for
practical purposes.
The other provisions relating to sweet wines and fortifica-
tions continued in sections 40, 47, 48 and 49, are not necessarily
included within the purposes of this analysis. To discuss them
now would be confusing to the main issue.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the
mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions from
reputable physicians, as the damage they
will do is ten-fold to the good you can
possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and
is taken internally, and acts directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tem. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be
sure you get the genuine. It is taken in-
ternally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F.
J. Clieney & Co.

We can supply Caramel or Burnt Sugar Coloring at seventy-
five cents per gallon in barrels, as strong and as brilliant as any
that was ever mai>ufactured. Not one complaint has reached us
the quality of our Sugar Coloring for over a year, and our sales
extend to every State in the Union.
If the price was $10, instead of seventy-five cents per gallon,
we could not produce a superior article. Every package guaran-
teed. Samples on application.

The churches of Meadville, Pa., are waging war against the
liquor business, and have held a mass meeting of the ministers
of the county. Rev. J. J. Dunn, pastor of St. Bridget's Roman
Catholic Church, who, in his absence was placed on one of the
ministerial committees, has declined to serve, and in a publishetl
card says: "I believe in good air, good water, good bread, good
beer, good wine, good whisky, gootl drugs and good people; and
I believe in punishing according to law any one who would cor-
upt or abuse any of these."

some years of depretwion.
We regret that we are unable to give the rail shipments
overland for the same time and thus give in this issue a complete
statement of the exports for the first half j-ear.
The railroad statement, however, cannot be obtained before
the 12th of the month and it is our intention to publish in the
next issue the complete statistics for the State, by rail and
water, inchuling the shipments going from Southern California
over the line« of the Atlantic and Psicific.
There is room for abundant thought and study, however, in
those sea statistics.
THE NEW YORK TRADE.
First in importance of all the sea exports are those to
New York by steamers via Panama and by sailing vessels via
Cape Horn. There has been a handsome increase in such ship-
ments as the appende<l statement will show. The Pa<;ific Mail
Company in dispatching three steamers each month has added
greatly to the transportation facilities, and that the clippers have
been well patronized the fact that five sailed in the first half year
of 1891 well attests. The statement of exports to New York by

the i.riiu-ii)al wine lioiiscs, and is divided between them and the
various commission houses in the general trade. This business
shows a handsom.' growth, and there is every promise of a better
showing in the future, inasmuch as several wine merchants intend
to enter the field very sliortly. The demand is for sweet wines

EUROPE.
Exports to Europe — and particularly to England and Ger-
many— are on the increase all the time. The business has more
t lian doubled in the past year and were it not for the heavy
duties assessed by France, shipments would increase many fold.

There has been, we regret to report, a very material diminu-
tion of the Tahiti trade, due in great part to the poor communica-
tions by sailing packet only and to the fact that but two wine
firms are in any manner interested. The regular island traders
give the business no attention worthy of the name. The exports

SWEET WI/NE p-RODUeTIO/N.
In the last issue of the Review there appeared a statement
of the sweet wine production of the State, embracing the First and
Fourth Districts. The aggregate of the production was 1,083,272
gallons.
If, however, it is thought that this is the aggregate of the
procfuction, mistakes are liable to occur. As a matter of fact,
there are several of the largest producers of the State who did
not take advantage or the law last year, and if the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue insists on the absurd definition of the word
"vineyard" to which he now appears wedded, there may be
many more who will work on the old plan. It may as well be
taken for granted that the owners of wineries which are shut out
by the unfair ruling now in force, will not retire from the busi-
ness at the action of the department and will be heard from
later, though not in the official figures of the Department.
It is safe tj say that the total production of the State last
year in sweet wine was not short of 1,200,000 gallons, and no
matter what the returns are the product will be greater in the
coming season.
It is to be hoped that the Honorable Commissioner will see
the injustice of imposing unduly severe regulations before the new
season opens. If he does not, the wine makers will be driven by
force to the ancient and old-fashioned methods of getting along,
and the law instead of being a benefit to all, will become some-
thing entirely different.

Arpad Haraszthy and a number of gentlemen in the wine
business are experimenting with a new — and yet old — process of
handling brandies, which has up to the present time given the
most satisfactory results. >
The process was first known some years ago, but its merits
have not been thoroughly appreciated until the present time.
What it is, the holders of the secret will not say. It is capable
of being protected by patent right, but the patents are not yet
Mr. Haraszthy says that the brandies already produced have
been submitted to several members of the trade, and to all of the
importers and other judges, and that all to whom the samples
have been shown are surprised with the excellence of the prod-
uct. The brandy is almost like a true Cognac — and in fact it
has deceived many experts. There is none of the musty flavor
ob.servable, which characterizes many of our brandies and makes
them difficult to blend.
Mr. Haraszthy and the others interested in the scheme have
not yet decided how they will operate after the letters patent are
obtained. Either a new" company will be formed to take charge
or else the secret will be sold with certain reservations.

whisky waa hard to obtain by the M)n8un]er, and when the com-
pounded goods almost entirely controlle<l the market. That the
new era is here and has come to stay is evidenced by the an-
nexed statistics in which it is shown that wherea.s tlic importa-
tions of spirits by rail for the six months ending .June -'JOth. 1891,
have fallen off l.KCJ barrels as compared with the same period of
1H{H». the receipts of whiskies by rail, by sea from New York and
from tsmded warehouses abroad, (re-imported whiskies) have in-
crease<l 1.().55 barrels. This growth of the trade in first-class
whiskies is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that it
has taken place in one of the dullest business years which (Cali-
fornia has ever known. Especially is it to be noted that the
greater part of the increase is in re-imported whiskies and in
whiskies which are imported by clipper from New York. These
whiskies are not only gilt edged goods, but they have the added
virtue of having made the 1B,0(X) mile voyage around Cape Horn
which develops in them a perfection of flavor and bouquet which
can be obtained in no other way.
We are gratified to note this improvement in this class of trade
and feel confident that the entire current year's business will show
an even more marked change than has marked the first half of
the year. If those whose interest it is to promote a more gen-
eral intrwimrtion of Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Maryland
whiskies throughout the coast will increase their efforts iii this
direction, they will certainly be well rewarded.
Herewith we give the statement of the receipts of whiskies,
etc.. from all sources for the first half year of 1891 and the com-
parative receipts for the same period of 1890.

IMPORTS OF CHAMPAGNE.
The importation of foreign champagnes continues in the rapid
manner which has characterized the trade in the past two <MP
three years. The total for 1891 promises to be the heaviest on
record. For the first six months of the year, the imports were
2,945 cases greater than for the same time in 1890. This bears
out the statement made in the Review some time ago that the
California public would drink champagne no matter what the
season. The increase in the consumption of foreign goods does
not seem to interfere with the producers of the domestic article in
the least.
Herewith are given the imports for the first six months of
this year and for the same time in 1890.

TOUGH O/N THE BCIKE.
The following contribution has been received from a mem-
ber of the Louisville trade who is evidently an interested reader
of the .jolly discussion that is going on between the Review and
the Louisville Bulletin. We publish it for the benefit of the Duke
and his many admirers:
Tlie Duke and His Hat.
Though the night was dark and dreary
Nor moon noi star did shine.
The Duke he puffed his cigarette
And thought "The world is mine."
"I'll dip my quill in pur'jst gall,
And strike both right and left
And both "Criterion" and Review
Will sink beneath my might."
The deed was 'did,' the gall was shed.
Serene "Criterion" smiled,
But the yell that 'rose out on the Coast
Was eke both loud and wild.
"Great Scott!" cried Wood,
"But this is good,
That a poor apology
For the editorial 'We'
Should rashly dare assail
A jour, beyond his pale.
'Tis a clear case, that's flat.
Of his royal nobs, the Duke,
A 'talking through his hat.'"
"Before he is Scott free
And gets out of the Wood
He must pay penalty
And assume a humble mood."
The Wine and Spirit Review
Then held the Duke at view,
And lo, throughout the land.
The smile was broad and bland.
All did at once agree.
That they ne'er expect to see
An ass in lion's skin,
So quickly taken in
And shown to be a "flat"
A 'talking through his hat.'
One broadside was enough
To make him pant and puff.
To waste on him more lead
Is to shoot the Doke that's dead!

THE "HA-RVEg," CH I e AGO.
We are pleased to learn that there is another restaurant and
cafe established in Chicago where California wines of high grade are
served. The "Harvey" which has but recently thrown its doors
open to the public, makes a specialty of California wines upon its
tables and residents of the Pacific Coast visiting Chicago, will find
a home-like air pervading everything about the "Harvey." All
the rooms are elegantly furnished, the service is excellent, and

the "Harvey" is perfect in all its appointments. The private
billiard-room deserves special mention; it is simply "a thing of
beauty." Around the walls are seats for thirty spectators com-
prising easy rockers and finely upholstered chairs, no two of
which are alike.
The silver used in the restaurant and cafe is all heavy weight
and Roger's best goods. Another charming feature about the
"Harvey" is the thirty-two private Club rooms, which are fur-
nished sumptuously. Only the finest of China is placed upon the
tables.
The "Harvey" is located over the To-Kalon Wine House on
Wabash Avenue, near Jackson Street within a short distance of the
Auditorian, Richelieu, Leland, Willington, Palmer House, Clifton,
Grand Pacific, the big New Chicago, the Post Office, the Custom
House, and the Union League Club. It is nearly at the center
of a circle which would include the above well-known and pop-
ular Chicago hostleries.
A HIGH eOMPLIMEMT.
Although J. De Barth Shorb was not successful in securing
the appointment as Chief of the Department of Viticulture and
Horticulture at the World's Fair, and the position has gone to
one whom we believe far less capable, he certainly received en-
dorsements from the producers of both classes which neither the
Maxwells and Forsythes could obtain. The most flattering part
of it was that the endorsements came unsolicited, and it is safe
to say that had Mr. Shorb been in the field earlier he would have
received such a support as would have made the De Young
school of politicians give him their support.
Mr. Shorb received the endorsement of the State Viticultural
Commission, the State Horticultural Society, the San Francisco
Wine Dealer's Association and local and county horticultural
societies in northern and southern California, too numerous to
mention.
The latest endorsement, which came too late, was that of the
Wholesale Liquor Dealer's Association of New York, the resolu-
tion passing without a dissenting vote.

Skstci) No. 8, 6. G. Mclver of Mission San Jose, Proprietor of
The Lipda Vista Vineyard.
C. C. Mclver belongs to the Kmall but energetic and enter-
primng cXbbb of wine prcMlucers. who, sacrificing quantity to obtain
excellence in <|uality of their products, are leading the way, in
the effort to demonstrate that this State can produce wine and
bran<liei4 second to none of PVance and other foreign countries.
Endowed with a natural aptitude for the work, and possessing
ample capital with which to carry out his ideas, he has made re-
markable progress in the eight years in which he has made a
study of the busjness. and has established a reputation second to
none among all the producers.
Mr. Mclver is a native of Canada and was born at Montreal
in 1M58. He was educate<l in his native city completing an
acsdemic murse, and for some time was engaged there in busi-
neMH pursuits.
Eight years ago he resolved to come to California, and,
carrying out this idea he located at Mission San Jose. Since that
time liis life has lx«en that of a typical country gentleman.
Imme<liately on his arrival, the Linda Yista Vinej'ard was
set out on the I'almer and Cook ranches. In early days the
Palmer vineyard had Ix'en a note<l one, but when Mr. Mclver
took charge. th<- entiii. vineyard wiis replante<l and improved.
Th«- vincyani now covers alM»ut .T'lit acres of the entire 1,000
of the ranch. The vines are all on resistant sto<-k and include
only the finer varietien of elaret and Sautcrne grapes as well as
the higlM^t Rhine wine tyiw-s. The vaults are commodious,
having a total cjipacity of .'►((D.immi gallons, and in the winery
every fa4;ility has b?en provided for the perfect handling of grapes
At pr.w.nt about 400,000 gallons of sele<-ted wines are agoine in
the vaullM. * *
Mr. M.Ivcr has no agents. Wh.-never he desiri* to sell
wines he g,H-s FJist and attends to their disposal for himself He
has fre<|uently sin<l that he luis never experiencwl the slightest
dilflciilty in finding ready buyers. for all the high class bottled
wines which he could furnish. Consequently he is one of the
firmest believers in the future of the trade in cased goods, think^
iiig that it is the keystone of the industry. At present his wines
have the distinction of being the only California wines on the
dining cars of the Pullman Company on all their lines in the
United States, and the reputation which they have there made is
most flattering to thfe producer.
Mr. Mclver was married nine years ago. His home at
Mission San Jose, is famous the country round for its hospitality
and good cheer. In all ways it is the typical home of the coun-
try gentleman of the State.
•RBeE/NT LEGAL BECISIO/NS.
The Supreme Court of Georgia held, in the case of Grant vs.
The State, that in a prohibition county a person who receives
money from another with a request to procure whisky, and who
shortly afterward delivers the whisky, may be treated as the
seller if no other person filling that character appears, and if ii
is not shown where, how or from whom the whisky was obtained.
In the case of th& Chicago Distilling Conjpany vs. Stone.
Collector, the Supreme Court of the United States decided in
favor of the appellant, holding unlawful the government method
of assessing at the end of each month what it termed "mulct
money" to make up any distillation by distilleries in excess of
the capacity from day to day.
In the case of The Commonwealth vs. Brown, recently de-
cided by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, it appeared that
the defendant was the agent at Lowell of the New England Dis-
patch Company and also the driver of one of its wagons. He was
indicted for bringing into the city of Lowell certain intoxicating
liquors, having reasonable cause to believe that the same were
intended to be sold in violation of law. In overruling exceptions
taken by the defendant, the court sustained the position taken ,
by the trial judge, who said: "If the jury are satisfied that the j
Dispatch Company, through its appropriate officers and agents, j
for its own lucre and gain, undertook thebusiness of transporting
intoxicating liquors to Lowell indiscriminately, and as a general
and habitual practice to transport such liquors where they knew
or had reasonable cause to believe that the same were intended :
to be sold in violation of law, and the defendant knew that such |
was their course of business, and knowingly assisted and aided
in the same by his own acts, and these liquors, or any part of
them, were brought into the city of Lowell in pursuance of such
general scheme or course of business, which the defendant so
participated in, and these liquors were, in fact, so illegally trans-
ported, then he may be held liable therefor; that is to say, if he
voluntarily went in and aided' and encouraged a general business
of transporting intoxicating liquors, then he is liable for specifi<-
acts of the kind, because he aided and participated in the business
which led to the taking of such goods. If he performed any
necessary part of the machinery in carrying on this illegal busi-
ness, then he became a participator in the business, and would be
liable for acts done in the usual aud ordinary course."
In the English High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, a
decision recently given in the case of J. & F. ^lartell vs. the (\)-
operative Wine and Spirit Co., covering the use of the MarteJl
labels. The Court was moved, on behalf of the plaintifls in this
action, for judgment against the defendants in default of appear-
ance in defence. Counsel stated that the action was brought bv
Messrs. J. & F. Martell, the well known brandy merchants, tn
restrain the defendants from selling a certain brandy, which was
not bottled by the Martells, under the description of Martell s
Three Star, Two Star and One Star Brandy. The motion asked
for an injunction to restrain, for an account of profits, for tlic
production of all bottles of brandy under the control of the de-
fendants bearing any marks or labels calculated to give rise to
the Iwlief that it was Martell 's brandy in order to obliterate such
nuirks; the obliteration of similar marks on defendants' trade
catalogues, circulars, etc., and the costs of the action. Judgment
was given in terms of the notice of motion.

Several meetings of the wine producers and merchants who
are interested in the Chicago cafe experiment have been held
lately, and while the management has not been all that could be
desired, the projectors are determined to carry out the enter-
prise at all hazards. The patronage of the cafe is very satisfac-
tory, but the management, as yet, has not been so.
F. Albertz of Cloverdale, has rented the Moulton Hill Vine-
yard for a period of five years. He has added to the winery, a
syrup making establishment, where he makes an excellent article
of grape syrup. This year he will increase the capacity and ex-
pects to make in the neighborhood of 40,000 gallons. He will
also make about 50,000 gallons of wine this year. He has fitted
up a complete bottling outfit and proposes to sell his old wine
in bottles.
The Napa Valley Company is having considerable inquiry
for the "Vine ClifT' Claret, which has been placed on the market
recently. This claret is one of the finest that has ever been pro-
duced in the State, and the only drawback is that there is not
enough of it. Mr. E. C. Priber the Manager of the Company
states that if he had five or six thousand cases at his disposal
instead of the relatively small stock on hand, he would branch
out more extensively for the cased goods trade.
It is said that Capt. Harry Hunt is to have a new rival for
the supremacy on the Park roads. I. De Turk the well known
Santa Rosa producer is thinking of bringing one of his steppers
to town expressly to give Capt. Hunt a "rattle." Mr. De Turk
has plenty of high class stock to pick from, and if all horses fail,
he may ship the re'loubtable Silas Skinner .2:19, here for the pur-
pose of letting Captain Hunt have a chance for his team or for his
favorite single driver. There is no doubt that were Skinner
given a trial on a specially prepared track he could make what
Mr. De Turk calls "tin horn" of at least 2:15. As it is, the
record of 2:19 was made in the hardest kind of a race, and Capt.
Hunt will have to look well to his laurels.
Kohler & Van Bergen's New York office has been moved

CHABLIS AMD SILLEKg.
Dr. John A. Stewart's Interesting Views on the Future Product of
the Santa 6ruz Slope.
It was a most ruinous error that California wine makers
committed when they tried to make good claret from a Spanish
seedling vine fit at best to produce a common Sherry. When
they were beaten at that they shouted "Zinfandel for ever" and
tried to make good claret out of valley-raised Zinfandel grapes
though they should have sacredly kept to the mountain. When
this did not suit the market they cried "I have it,'" aud struck in
for ClKirbono. AVhen this utterly failed they raised the paean of
the Mataro.
It seemed that nothing could teach the California producers
that neither heaven nor man can make a silk purse out of a sow's
ear. They knew everything; the French knew nothing, and
what to our zealots was the experience of centuries in Europe, to
us whose soil was virgin, whose climate the one unique thing of
the universe and whose touch far better than that of Midas which
turned (h-oss into gold?
California producers are awakened to their true situation
and recognize in the light of truth, capacities of theirs which,
admitting every drawback are unexcelled. Still, how much
would have been saved and what would not have been our posi-
tion to-day if we had begun our career as vignerons where the
Australians did. who, happily for them, had no Mission vine and
little self conceit but who had hard English heads to begin with, and
who accordingly planted the Cabernet and the Syrah and Cognato
— grand vines from the start.
California not only erred in relation to claret, but also as
regards white wine to a certain extent. But they could not err
far in this direction had they early in their time cultivated the
Frauken Riesling or Oestereicher, as well as the Weis Riesling
or Gentil Aromatico. It was too daring though for Californians
to attempt making white Burgundy, not to mention champagne,
out of the Chasselas. This brings me to what white Burgundy
should be made from.
True white Burgundy which many of the ablest and most
reliable connoisseurs place before Sauteme, White Hermitage or
Joliannisberger, is the product of the Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris
and Morillon. The Morillon, if not the Pinot Gris, is absent from
the very noblest Bui-gundy such as Montrachet while it
may and does enter along with the Pinot Blanc into Chablis.
White Burgundy, then, should be made from the white or light
colored Pinots; Montrachet from the Pinot Blanc solely and
Chablis from the Pinot Blanc by preference — still simply by pre-
ference, since the Morillon can enter into it.
Now leaving Montrachet aside as something beyond discus-
sion and taking up Chablis which is second in line to it, though
far behind, how does the production of Chablis from only the
Pinot Blanc or Morillon, or both, suit California? Well enough,
provided, however, that the two points should be never forgotten
— first to plant the Pinot Blanc on the limiest hillside to be
found and at the rate of over three thousand to the acre, and
second, to see that the Morillon does not get too rich soil or
richness of any kind, the Morillon being a good vine to have a
taste of starvation. When planted on rich soil it is apt to give
the "grasse" to the wine.
"Three thousand vines and over to the acre!" I hear some
true Californian exclaim as he lifts his hands in horror. Well,
three thousand vines is no cause for any exclamation on the part
of a Burgundy vigneron, but the opposite. All I can add is
that the vigneron who intends to cultivate the Pinot Blanc or
any Pinot excepting maybe the Morillon, on a less rate than
three thousand to the acre, had better not face the business, for
of all the vines I have, it is absolutely the poorest bearer. I
may be a greater fancier of poor bearing vines than any other,
and it seems I am, if I believe all I hear. But I will say this,
that while I put down my Cabernets to yield two or possibly
three pounds to the vine, I put down my Pinot Blancs at one
pound and a half.
Chablis, when made from the Pinot Bl,anc, which is its
proper source — the Morillon being only a most excellent substi-
tute— is a pale, dry, lively, sparkling, heavy wine possessed of
body, finesse, perfect transparency and a peculiar bouquet. It
ought to be bottled after being two years in the cask and the
year after it should be in all its perfection. Thus it does not re-
quire long nur.sing and can bring its owner in quick time its
highest value.
I think though that there is a better thing for California
than Chablis. I am fond of it, and when I had more pence than
sense used to drink it freely. I think that one of the great wines
that California is going to have — nay has begun to have — will be
Sillery, or the wine of the Pinot Gris. The Santa Cruz slope is
splendidly adapted to this wine and while I am pleased with my
Cabernets, I amsurprised at my Pinot Gris. To begin with, what
wine I have made from the Pinot Gris affords me every promise I
could a8k,while the vine itself, well attended to and raised on wires,
gives me an average yield per vine of five to six pounds or more.
Let us compare Chablis and Sillery, I don't mean in the pal-
ate, but the pocket. Though Sillery used to have the advantage
over Chablis of being pre-eminently tonic, and is by the manip-
ulation of a little alcohol such a delicious cremant . Chablis in
its best days might fetch new at the Grenouilks forty cents a
gallon, Sillery at the Bruyeres ^1.40.
There are but four kinds of vines for me on the Santa Cruz
slope — -four I wish to hear of or see. The Cabernet is one, the
Sauvignon two, the Semillon three, and the Pinot ferris is the fourth,
and I tell you I have arrived at this conclusion by hard knocks.

A DISG-RACE TO eALIFO-R/NIA.
The continual wrangle and jangle over the position of Chief
of the Department of Horticulture and Viticulture is a disgrace
to California. It is made all the more so from the fact that one
man, M. H. De Young, is responsible for it all.
It is a perfectly safe proposition that if any member of the
DeYoung-Maxwell-Forsythe ring is made Chief of the Depart-
ment, the exhibits from this State will be neither as large nor as
creditable as they would be were some person, less disinterested,
given the place. Mr. DeYoung's character and that of the news-
paper he runs are perfectly "well-known. Mr. Maxwell is a no-
nentity who had his name pushed to the front, possibly as a
shield to hide any scheme that De Young may have had in
connection with the financial management of affairs. Of Maxwell,
the least said the better.
As for Mr. Forsythe he is not known to be an American
citizen. His knowledge of Viticulture and Horticulture is com-
fined to raisin growing and packing. His character has been
well shown up by Mr. A. T. Hatch who is worth twenty De
Youngs, Maxwells and Forsythes combined.
California had two creditable candidates. One, General
Chipman, was knifed without cause. The other available man
is J. De Barth Shorb. If he does not get the place we presume
it will go East.

THE LieE/NSE QUESTIOTN.
The license question still hangs before the Board of Super-
visors. The high license people are as active as ever, and while
they have hopes that the license will be raised, they do not ex-
pect it to be placed as high as they would like.
Numerous compromises have been suggest«d. The Super-
visors proposed fifty dollars a quarter and then seventy-five dol-
lars a quarter instead of twenty-one dollars but without avail.
The proposition to let the matter go before the people for vot« is
too idle for consideration and was only suggested in the first
plaee because the Supervisors desired to shirk the matter entirely.
We do not think that the license will be changed. There
are too many small politicians in the Board, who have an eye to
the main chance and other political preferment for that. The
Board will probably "consider" for awhile yet and then renew the
old order.
eOMIMG TO eALIFOK/SIA.
Mr. George Payne, the Englishman who is most interested
in the project to introduce separate ferments for separate wines
and varieties of wine, is now on the way to this State, and savb
that he has a sufficient supply of ferments to demonstrate the
value of his theory.
He will be at the Palace Hotel early this month, and ex-
pects to hear from some of the foremost viticulturists of tli<
State in regard to the matter.

THE BO/SBEB PERIOD.
The time is approachiug when the taxes upon the '89 crop
will mature, and during the twenty-four months following the
last payment on that erop, nearly sixty millions of gallons of '!)0.s
and '91s will expire by limitation. Now. if it be true that our
consumption amounts to but 15,001 1,000 gallons per annum, we
will have a surplus during the coming three years of about 30.-
000,000 gallons on our hands, upon which the Government will
demand, during that time, some $27,000,000. We think, how-
ever, that the consumption of Kentucky whisky averages fully
20.000,000 gallons per annum, which would leave a surplus of
about 15,000,000 gallons, on which the tax is $13,500,000. This
is an enormous sum of money to withdraw from circulation in
payment of taxes upon goods not needed for months or years,
and it does seem strange that the business interests of the coun-
try can contemplate it so coolly as it is doing. We do not think,
however, that the general public realizes the millions that will be
demanded by the whisky trade during the next three years, and
we believe that the trade should bagin at once to awaken them
u'vjn the subject. The way to avert the approaching trouble is
for Congress to pass the unlimited bonded bill that California is
preparing, and every Board of Trade in the I'nited States should
consider resolutions looking to sucli an end. It is none too soon
to begin this important work, and the way to succeed is through
arousing a demand for an unlimited extension, from the business
interests of the country. The tax upon whisky should be due
and payable when whisky is ordered out of bond, and not before.
What we want is an unlimitid extension and not exportation. —
Wine and Spirit BitUetin.
Sensible, and to the point. The time is now. The Califor-
nia distillers are heart and soul with this movement and will
command the support of all the Pacific Coast Delegation.
Let Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Maryland and the
Pacific Coast unite on this point. Success is certain.
Extension not exportation ia needed.
The WeMern Broker of Chicago has taken up the good cause.
In the last issue it says:
The present regulations regarding the bonded period and the
payment of taxes on distilled spirits entail unnecessary inconve-
nience on the trade and are arbitrary and vexatious in their ap-
plication. The law requiring a tax of 90 cents to be paid on
every gallon of spirits that is produced at the expiration of 36
months after distillation, whether it is required for consumption
or not, is wrong in principle and an injustice to the community
since, being based on production rather than on consumption, it
is a fine or penalty against an important industry. Its effect on
the trade is detrimental, since it fiDsters mercantile immorality.
If, at the end of three years the whisky has not been already con-
sumed, the Government claims its "pound of flesh" and if the
owner is unable to pay 90 cents per gallon into the coffere of
I'ncle Sam, on goods which cost one-third of the price to prwluce,
he must adopt means to circumvent the law, or his property will
be confiscated. To avoid this alternative, and postpone the pay-
ment of the tax indefinitely, he resorts to exportation, as the
most expedient means. In order to carry out this scheme, our
manufacturers are placed in a humiliating and ridiculous position
in having to invoke the aid of foreigners to enable them to cir-
cumvent the laws of this country, and in having to pay to for-
eignei-8 heavy charges for transportation, storage, labor and in-
cidental expenses. Such an anomaly as this, which compels our
merchants, for their protection against too stringent revenue laws
to empty our warehouses and deprive our own people of the ben-
efit of storage ratios in favor of foreigners in foreign countries,
calls for a change in our Internal Revenue department regula-
tions which would render these laws more in keeping with our
free institutions.
Within the last two or three years the immense production
of 1890 and 1891 which are now stored under government lock
and key will have to be tax paid, and the years 1893 and 1894
will call for about $55,000,000, in order to pay Governpient claims
on whisky stored in the state of Kentucky alone. This amount
of money will have to be withdrawn from other legitimate sources
of trade and will undoubtedly tend to create a financial disar-
rangement, affecting more or less every other industry in the
country.
It would be more in accordance with the laws of social
economj' if taxes were based upon consumption instead of pro-
duction. If this were the case the natural law of supply and
demand — which our revenue laws so ruthlessly break through
and ignore, — would regulate or modify many of the evils com-
plained of and we would hear but little about surplus stocks of
whisky. If the bonded period were unlimited as in some parts
of Europe, the burden of over production would not be so oppres-
sive as it now is and money now unnecessarily diverted from its
proper channels would tend to renewed activity in this and
other industries, whilst our Government would sacrifice no in-
terest and lose no revenue.
The Hawaiian trade is constantly growing and is receiving
attention from all the merchants to a greater and greater degree.
The wine merchants are already well represented, and the liquor
men are selling whiskies in constantly increasing quantities.
The ''Temperance" people of the Islands are becoming very act-
ive, notwithstanding the fact that one of the principal breweries
of the Island is operated by the Missionary party.

The warnj wtiither in ii|Mm iih at liisi. iiikI uh a result tin- n-
tail trade in pioking up ni<vly. The Spriiij; races are on also
and that in connwtion with the warm weather iiiakts the retail-
ern wear a very p-nial HiiiiU'. And then aiuither drop of Hweel-
neM i» addwl to the eup of ji>y from whieli the said retalU-rs are
juat now quaffing "jfrt'enhiiek niH-tar" and tliat is the presence
of ForeiMUiKhH hig c-in-UK in the city. Tiieri' was a hig fight
against having the eireiis on tlie Lake Front hut the circus came
dot (V> top 1M4 usual, and now the retail trade in the way of "wet
gooda" can have a ehanee to get at the thronjjs who are not sat-
i»fie<l with painte<l leniona<h'. Another great i>ig drop of sweet-
newt in their eup is the fact that so long an a place of Imsiuess is
run any way wjiiare at all the Mayor has refused to have any
hand in int<«rfering witli the husiness of saloons. He told the
committee that wait«Ml upon him that he was thoroughly a (Jer-
maii in re^ni to that t|uestion. and helieved in letting men si'll
juat whatsoever they chose so long as it was done decently and
in order. On the other hand he hiworderwl the closing up of all
'•joints" where women and thieves do congregate and "'got in'"
their fine work. \ numU-r of such -dives " have heen closed up
Hince Mayor \Va«hhuriie took his chair.
.\fter a most desperate fight la.stiiig for a long time the two
outaide diHtilleries, Shufeldt's and the Calumet, have had to suc-
cumb to the inevitahle. and are now safely swallowed up by the
combine. This is as it should be. viewetl from a businesR stand-
point. The fact of competition argues divisipn of interests, and
the houae that is dividwl against itself is said to be on the verge
of falling. It may not l>e as well for the niiddleniau and jobber,
but for the ciiatomer it will be a blessing, for there will not be
the temptation to a<liilterate when the price can be regulated by
the ipse dixit of one concern rather than the result of close com-
petition. Moreover the liquor will not come any higher to the
consumer than it did at this time last year, nor will it ever come
higher than now. The full capacity of the Shufeldt distillery is
ft,000 bushels per day and that of the Calumet .'?,.500 bushels.
The purchase price of the Shufeldt distillery is said to have been
•1 ,000,000 in cash, $1 .(M(O,0<M) in stock of the Trust at a valuation
of 45, and $I,(KMI.(MK) in six jH-r cent, bonds, with a guarantee
that the distillery would Ije allowwl to run. The transfer of the
Oalumet is reported to have been made on the basis of $1 ,.')00,000
— one-third cash, the remainder in stock and debt^ntures of the
Trust, paying interest at the rate of six jK«r cent, per annum.
I was talking with a wholesjiler the other day about the sale
to the combine and its effect ujMjn the trade generally, and he
was emphatic in his opinion that it was the bw<t thing that could
have happened. "SupjKjse,' said he, "that all the distilleries in
the country were under one general maiiiigeinent, do you think
for a moment that we would now l)e suflering as we are from an
orer stock? Not at all. but on the other hand the supply and
demand would l»e so wpialized that it would be far better for all
oonoemed."
As for California goods it is the same old story right over
■gain. The tide is <m the flood, and it s«'eins possible that in
time it will sweep everything liefore it. l<:asteni prejudice is fast
vaniahiog in regard to many things that are produced in Califor-
nia. They are becoming letter ae<iiiaiiited with their neighbors
beyond the western mountain ranges and they are inclined to
like them and their pro<lucts very well. They still irhhI a little
"taflTy" to make them right sure alnmt it. and the smart Califor-
nian who wmes over here to place goods of any kind i)ioceeds
along that line exclusively. You cannot force trade with these
people. They an' conservative, and are strong in their habits
and customs, and to get them to take hold of something new is
"imply a matter of eduwUion, and of course it goes slow. But
the man or firm who works and waits will liud them the best
n,.ople in the the world to deal with when they do take hold of
his goods. siin])ly because they are good stayers.
As a sample of the fast growing popularity of California
wines 1 niav state that a new restaurant and cafe has been
thrown o|)eii to the ])iiblic during the past week where the serv-
ing of ( 'aliforiua wines is made a specialty. Colonel Harvey has
fitted uj) the whole block over the To-Kalon wine store at 244
\Val)ash av«>nue in a most elegant style for the special purpose
of introducing California wines of high grade, such as are likely
to find an al)i(ling demand at the east. This will prove a great
advertisement for California wines, for Colonel Harvey has a
host of friends who will rally around him in his new quarters
and thus become familiar with good California wine. In this
wav the merits of these wines will soon secure a wide and prop-
el- recognition.
Colonel Harvey was manager of the Richelieu hotel in this
city for five years and his acquaintance is very extented among
the more, wealthy people of the city. The rooms have been sump-
tuously fitted up at a cost of $20,000. All Californians visiting
Chicago will find a royal welcome at the hands of Colonel Harvey.
This is no sense an opposition scheme to the California Viti-
cultural restaurant and cafe, but simply a widening out of the
same idea — the introduction of California wines to the eastern
public. One of Chicago's brightest businessmen, when he heard
of Colonel Harvey's [)ropo.sed venture, said: "You Colifornia
wine men are the mo.^t enterprising peojde in the world. AVhen
you .start out to do a tiling you never stop till you are there at
the head of the procession."
Albert Gottschalk. tha millionaire distiller of Baltimore, Md.,
has opened war on the Trust. The Gottschalk company, of ,
which Albert Gottschalk is the head, has been the distributing
agent in this locality for the whiskj- trust and now claims that
the trust has broken its contract with the Baltimore agency which
no longer represents the Illinois company. The Gottschalk com-
pany claims that the whisky trust is largely indebted to them for
rebates on purchases which they will take proper means to re-
cover.
The proposal by the rectifiers of Chicago to build a disjillery
in opposition to the whisky trust has taken a definite shape. It
is understood that the capital is already subscribed; that the new
distillery will probably be called the Rectifiers' Co-Operative
Distilling company. A plant, it is said large enough to supply
the wants of the rectifiei-s will cost but $150,000. The question
of getting spirits pending the erection of the distillery is not both-
ering the rectifiers, as they claim the trust could not refuse to
sell to them if they paid cash. Then, too, establishments outside
of the trust exist at Cincinnati and at Pekin, 111.
L. L. Palmer.
NO T-ROUBLE gET.
When the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company absorbed
the Shufeldt and Calumet distilleries of Chicago, some apprelien-
sion was felt by the local wholesale dealers that inasmuch as
all opposition worthy of the name had died out in the East, some
effort would be made to crush out the less formidable opposition
offered by the smaller distillers, and that the California Distillery
at .\ntioch would be either bought out or an attempt made to
crush it from the field.
Messrs. C. Jost & Son, the owners of the distillery, state that
up to the present time no attempt has been made to get their
customers away from them. The company has several steady
customers, who, when the distillery was started up some months
ago. guaranteed to stand by the local concern. This they have
ilone and the California distillery is running at about the same
capacity as ever.
The com])any, it is said, has guarantees that it will receive
all possible suj)port in case an attempt is made to change the
present state of aflairs.

Cincinnati, June 25, 1891.
Business is very quiet, the summer dull season having fairly
begun. Prices on all goods of established brands are firm and
on ryes the advance previously noted has been sustained.
Distillers are already thinking of the coming season. The
most conservative recognize that the production must be less
than in '90 or '91 or else exportation will have to be resorted to
unless the bonding period is ma(?e unlimited.
The Joseph R. Peebles' Sons Co. handle exclusively the
"Private Stock" wines of Napa Valley Wine Company and, as
this firm has the elite trade of the city, they only handle first-
class goods. Mr. Peebles himself is a connoisseur of wines, and
he has a reputation second to none in the city. We see by the
Pacific paper.?, whicli is a matter of record and not an advertise-
ment, that, while President Harrison and Cabinet were visiting
tlie Pacific Coast, a banquet was given to them at San Francisco
and the Napa Valley Wine Co's "Private Stock" was one of the
principal win3S on the mjnu. President Harrison had a supply
of "Pi'ivate Stock" sent to Washington for his own cellars. The
Napa Valley wines are noted for their similarity to the celebrated
Rhine wines, having their delicate high flavor, and we think the
time is not far distant when they will take the place of imported
wines. Mr. Cullman is just returning from the East, where he
was quite successful in placing the Napa Valley goods. He is
on his way to St. Louis.
Dodworth's distillery, it is said, will furnish the anti-trust
men with spirits. It is an independent concern, and will have a
capacitj- of 2,800 bushels per day. The opposition of the whole-
sale dealers and rectifiers against the anti-trust is assuming a
definite shape, a mammoth distillery will be built by them, which
will supply all of their wants. The capital stock will be $200,-
OOD, which will be readily subscribed. S.
WORLD'S FAIK P-REPA-RATIOMS.
Many of the leading bottlers of wines and brandies in this
State are beginning to prepare their exhibits for the World's
Fair, and before many months have elapsed the preliminary
work will be well under way.
This is the season when stocks are being selected and set
aside for special care, when blends are being experimented with
and other operations of like character conducted. There are
many who have been at this sort of work for months and if care
and attention will insure a fine stock of wines being sent to
Chicago the success of the display is assured.
Necessarily much of the wine that will be sent will be 'SOs
and '90b though some there are who have stocks running back
several years. Of course the older wines will be placed before
the judges and as far as possible in the cafe which is to be con-
ducted on the plan of that in San Francisco. But the consump-
tion in this cafe, which is to form a part of the California build-
ing, will be enormous and the bottlers may have to call on their
younger stocks.
The cafe and its management will come before the World's
Fair Commission of this State and it is therefore advisable that
those who are given chargeshould have had experience in the same
line. There is no more thoroughly fitted man for this function
than Mr. William H. McNeil the present clerk and store-keeper
of the Viticultural Commission, who has the ability and energy
necessary to make this department a success in every particular.
The exhibitors of our wines one and all — and they form an
influential and respectable body — would be entirely suited were
Mr. McNeil appointed, knowing that he would give absolute sat-
isfaction.
Our exhibits now being prepared should be in competent
hands.
A man over at Independence, Kan., was fined $1 for whip-
ping his wife, and the same day another citizen of that place was
under bond of $2,000 for selling whisky.

The Wine Trade Review of London, has just published a bit
of poetry on the ills of the liquor trade and founded on the solilo-
(luy in "Hamlet" which with a few alterations would fit the
American trade to a dot. It is as follow^s:
A TRADER'S SOLILOQUY'
To be, or not to be? — That is the question: —
Whether 'its nobler for the trade to suffer
The snubs and stings of ev'ry Government,
Or to take arms afiainst a sea of troubles.
And by opposing end them?— To louse; To sleep
No more- and, rousing, thus declare we end
The worries, and Ih' untold thousand shocks
We have put up with. We sleep! We dream! —
We sleep and dream too much; — Ay, there's the rub! —
For while wc sleep and dream, what ills may come? —
When we have shutfled off this morbid sleep
We may find out that we're all behind—
.\iul that from sleeping we have lost the grasp
We should have had upon the Parliament,
The Exchequer's Chief,— the "pump" man's contumelv,
The hosts of 'toiler faddists, and such like,—
Those mad fanatics, who, with jibes and spurns.
Say we're the miners of all that's jfood—
Forgetting llieir folks sad appearance make
At the Police court!— Should we fardels bear,
And grunt and swear tmder a weary life.
But tliat wc knew wc did our coiuiiry good.
And to tir Excheciuer sent a good return?—
This gives ns peace and reconciles our will —
And makes us rathei bear those ills we have
Than seek the remedy we're worthy of.
Thus conscience dots make heroes of ns all;
And thus the Empire gains by resignation
On lb' part oi those, who, harassed and oppressed.
Makes imtriotism tlie th,)ught of ev'rv moment,
And very willingly pay in their fourth
Towards their nalion^s 'Checquer.— But soft now!
All this may change!— Chancellor! In thv broodin^s
Be all these things remembered! —

A/NAHEIM DISEASE -REMEDg.
Ethelbert Dowien Makes a Report upon the Alleged Discovery
of J. 6ozad.
Ethelbert Dowleu has prepared the foUowiiig report upou
J. Cozads alleged remedy for the Anaheim disearte. Tlie vine-
yard is at Lapresa, San Diego County.
"At Mr. Cozad's own ranch, the vines (all of the Muscat
variety) were in good health, and were reported never to have
been diseased. They were three years old. On the adjoining
ranch, the vines, also Muscats, and from five to six years of age,
were with a few exceptions, in good condition. This vineyard
was reported to have been diseased for the past two yeai-s. M
present, the only signs of disease were a few scattered leaves
which showed some suspicious yellow markings, and a stunted
growth on a few of the vines. Last year, the fruit on many of
these vines was said to have dried up before reaching its full
growth. At present, there is promise of a good crop. All the
vines on this ranch had been treated except seven rows on the
western side of the block on the west side of the main road
through the ranch. These untreated vines were not quite so
vigorous as the others, but they were on considerablj' lighter soil.
All of Mr. Cozad's own vines have been treated.
The treatment consists of:
First. Pruning as close to the internode as may be consis-
tent with safety, leaving one or two buds to the spur as may be
necessary, and
Second. The immediate application of a paint of white lead
and oil, of the consistence of cream to the freshly cut surface,
which stops all bleeding from the pruned spiir.
Mr. Cozad's views is that the vine is weakened by the loss of
sap consequent upon pruning, and is thereby rendered liable to
disease; or being already diseased, cannot gather strength suffi-
cient to recover its health. He claims that his treatment will
not only prevent a vine from becoming diseased, but that it will
also enable a sick vine to regain its strength and health.
Mr. Cozad relies upon the above treatment to either cure or
prevent the Anaheim disease. Should any insects appear on the
vines, he applies a wash composed as follows:
Water, 1 gallon: Whale oil soap, 4 ounces; Eucalyptus oil. 1^
teaspoon fuls; Carbonate of Soda, 2 teaspoonfuls. Boil the soap
and water until thoroughly mixed; add the Eucalyptus oil and
soda together and mix well. Apply warm at from 80° to 100°
F. This wa.sh is claimed not to injure fruit or blossom in the
least degree, but is fatal to all insects. Mr. Cozad has applied
for patent rights to cover the composition of the above wash, and
also the use of the white lead paint on the vines. The applica-
tion has been allowed by the United States patent office.
As the vines have not been under such treatment for an en-
tire year, the paint having been first applied during the last
pruning, it is not possible to say how far the vines may be bene-
fited, or whether they will be unaffected by the treatment. In
so far as the paint prevents bleeding from the pruned spurs, ben-
efit would no doubt accrue. The treatment would also he bene-
cial in preventing fungus spores or other germs from finding an
easy entrance into the tissues through the freshly cut surfaces.
It is not possible to give any opinion beyond the above at the
present time as the most trying time of the year has yet to come.

I do not take offeiise. because to be' called a saloon keeper is
neoe»«ariIy opprobrious, but b -cause the statein-nt is a wilful lie.
intendtnl to inspire, an unchristian malevolence toward me.
I know many saloon-keepers who are more worthy to be called
(liristians and gentlemen than is the Reverend Dr. Dille.
\ reply t<»an as.-<juilt from a pulpit orator is generally difti-
cult for a gentleman to indulge in. becau.se it is assumed that the
context <'annot be a fair one. A leader of a Christian flock is
BuppoHcd to pra<'tice. for the sake or appearances at least, the
Christian precept which re<iuires him to be non-resistant, to turn
hia other che<'k. and to love his enemies; he is 8upi)0sed, also, to
stand under Christ '.s benediction — '-Blessed are the peacemakers"
an<l the -jHwr in spirit." To assault such a man. defenceless in
word and detnl. deprived by his religion from retaliation, would
\h- a cowards part. There need, however be no compunctions of
honor in this rmpect as regards the Rev. Mr. Dille, for he has so
often violate<I all Christian rules and sought the public arena
with vitup«»ration as his weapon, that his Christianity may be
overlooked and he may be called to account as any other man
would be. The only danger is that in scratching a parson, we
may find a blackguard.
The public that listened to Dr. Dille are, however, entitled
to the truth in a matter that affects public institutions. Let them
therefore l)e told that if Mr. Dille said, as he is reported to
admit, that the Statu Viticultural Commission conducts, main-
tains, or in any way manages a saloon, within the meaning of the
word as umlerstood by all in this connection, he made a false
Htatement for which he should either publicly apologize or be ex-
pelled from the pulpit. The State Viticultural Commission main-
tains a ]M>nnanent exhibit, under the sanction of the State law, in
the intercHt of viticultural industry, purity of products and prog-
nwB in quality. Not so much wine is consumed or tasted in this
exhibit hall or anywhere in connection with the direct official
work of the commission as is dispostul of at the communion table
of any orthmlox church. The word ''saloon'" is more applicalile
to Dr. Dill's church than to the State Viticultural exhil)it. The
(Mimmiwion has leiwd to rewjiectable and most accomplished res-
taurantours. space for a first-class model restaurant, the object of
which is to demonstrate that such an institution can be success-
fully wnducted without recourse to foreign wines, false labels or
adulterated comjtouuds. This is also to enable the public to uii-
denttand the real merits of the exhibits in the hall of the com-
mimion. without l)eing compelled to tipple their samples. No
wineH are iHinnittetl to 1«- sold by the glass and none are served
except in the irivilixed manner of a gentleman's dining rooirt. The
restaurant is patronize<l by the iM'st elements of societ v. by sisters
with their brothers: by mothers and sons: husbands, wives and
daughters. Inde«><l. so far as ladies are concerned, there are few
If any of those who visit this r.stamant whose social reputation
and pride of chanu-ter are not of such a s«>nsitive nature that
they would fear public suspicion, if thev were to be seen in com-
pany with thos<' rattle-headed persons', whose ideas of morals
have men educated at <'ainp-ineelin;;s.
.u !"•• l*'"® «^!'« t'r '•*'«t'""-anl"u •Siaf saloon," meaning
thereby to class it with places where drinks are sold by the glass
—where drinking is the sole attraction. If he means to change
our popular lanj,'uage and have it understood that the word
■saloon" applies to all places where wines are used, let him dt-
linV himself and we shall hereafter refer to his communion table
■IS ■Dille's free lunch saloon." I do not wish to appear uuncc-
ci-ssarih- sacreligious, but I wish to bring Dr. Dille to the peni-
tent bench and force him to feel what others feel when institu-
tions which they respect and honor are publicly assailed with
contemptuous epiUiets.
In tills connection I will recall his blackguard attack on Miss
Kate Field, when he publicly called her -'a procuress for the halls
of hell." because she differs with him in opinion, as nearly every
well educated person does. Such language merits a pul)lic cow-
hiding. Suppose that the Catholic priest of Oakland, who p<>r-
haps believes that the teachings of Dr. Dille are fatal to the soul
should single him out of all the thousands of Methodists, on
account of his creed, and publicly denounce him as "a procurer
for the halls of hell!" Would the cause of the gentle Jesus be
subserved by such anger-kindling words? Or would not the two
belligerents be expected to prove their manhood with their fists'i
Are there no cowhides for pulpit blackguards and slanderers?
As to my own record, this occasion does not require me to
sav more than that I never have been interested in. never have
established, never have managed, directly or indirectly, any
saloon such as Dr. Dille desires his congregation to understand.
Why, then, did he use my name in such connection? Did he
wish to provoke a personal difficulty? Or does he create villains
in order that he may show how valiant he is — with his tongue'i
Some day he may assail personal character once too often and b(
forced to^ show his physical valor. No; there's no danger ol
that! A blackguard, who would publicly insult a lady whom
his superiors in society honor, and shield his pusillanimous jaw
under the clerical garb would be in no danger; his legs would
save him.
I have too often published my opinions concerning alcoholic
intemperance and the saloon question to need to say much fur-
ther. If Dr. Dille were a gentleman I would challenge him to f
public discussion; his name however, would deprive the occasion
of all dignity. I will, however, challenge any one who think at
he does on prohibition, provided his record indicates that in diS'
cussion he will confine himself to statements to which he is will
ing to swear before a Notary Public. The advocates of prohi
bition have generally acquired the habit of lying and misrepre
sentation to such a degree that with them there is little grouiic
for honest discussion.
I believe that alcoholic intemperance is a great evil, as is
gluttony or avarice, or libertinism or hypocrisy-. The subject de-
mands just appreciation of all facts and circumstances bearing
upon it. The intemperate zeal of one set of reformers, \vh(
differ in opinion with another set, should not be permitted to be
fog the public's mind.
Chastity and sobriety are alike desirable virtues. Prohibi
tion as a popular cry will not make men and women purer am
stronger. I think that somewhere in Dr. Dille's religious pre
cepts will be found one which teaches self restraint and self cul
ture as the safeguards of character. The God of his teaching!
does not prohibit the devil, but says: "Resist the devil and h(
will flee from you." God needs the devil in order to weed lui
manitj' and to insure the survival of the fittest.
Dr. Dille: If you will read your Bible more and restraii
your vanity of speech, you maj' perhaps lead more lambs to th<
fold of (Christ. First Christianize yourself.
For the further information of Dr. Dille, who should try ti
keep better informed where he persumes to criticise, let me say
that it is two years since I ceased to be President of the Stat
Viticultural Commission and that now I have no connectioi
with it whatever.

Thii4»' two wmii/v. have iiiixi'd in a solution of sugar and
wat«T a littU' of the soil of tlif country. Tiiey have s -vtral tinu s
kept thr misttiirf at a l.-uilM-iiiturc of .{') (U-f;. <".. and wlun tlic

a Icoholn, ami HOJni' projjort ions of acetic, hutyric and j)ro|)ionic
acids, tht-w rcprtwntinjf very nearly a half of the sugar employed.
This phenomenon pn-sent-* nothing contrary to <'stablislied
theoriit*. It wasalreaily known, in fact that agricultural soil.
over itM whole sHrfa(v wa« jH«ople<l with an infinity of microbes.
The experience!* of M«*rtr». Maquenne and Deherain show
that the part of these inlinit-ly small things is complex, .since.
whilst some play the onlinary part of yeast, the others have the
fiu-ulty of (HMiverting the sugar into a series of ditferent products
the niiwt prominent properties of which manifest themselves by
a strougly-develo|H'«l and not very agreeal)le snu'll.
If. iiiHt4-ad of pure sugar, the sitme authors had taken some
p:isteiiriz*Hl must of grapes, that is to say. sterilized previously
liy heat, it is not very hawirdous to predict that the similar
n-sults would have shown them.selves. In the meantime, it is
quite |M>.-<.sililc to understand that the products produced by the
inicrobei<t of the same soil would have been still more complex
and more varie<l; for the jtiic;' of the grape, more than su^^ar,
contains several orgsmic j)riucipals that the ferments in (juestion
would not have respectwl any more than the sugar itself.
But with grape must obtained in the ordinary way, without
any |>artieular wanning, the jwwer of action of the microbes of
the cultivated ground would be least, because the grape at its
maturity esj)eeially. always carries on its skin numerous normal
germs of ferment, the propagation of which is rapid, so that they
always overiM>wer the sin-ondarv ferments. Meanwhile, the work
of these last, although les-sened. is never absolutely stopped, iyid
the eonwHiuenees of their presence are, generally proportionat«
to their numlN'r. that is to say. in this case, in proportion to the
quantity of soil of the fields that there happens to be.
But in viticidtunil practic* it often happens that the soil
fnmi the fields wmiw, with its microbes, to make trouble in the
fermenting of the grapes.
.Vfter the eiiM-riene** of Messrs. Maquenne and Deherain,
we can show its injurious work and, from this day by attending
to it, aftinn that all other things being e<iual. a wine contains so
inui-h the nipre sup -rior alcohols and acetic, butyric and propionic
a!-ids in the same proportions as the grapes at tiie time of vintage
were i«iile<l with mud.
If we recollect that these alcohols, these acids and the ethers
that they form in the wine have all of them a strong and
more or less diwigrei-able smell, the results of which take
the form «)f what is called an '-earthy taste" it will be an
easy inattiT t<» explain how this special ta.ste properly belongs to
iMTtain vine growiiig districts, how its intensity varies every
yn-ar. and ino<litie« itself also according to the calcareous, argil-
laceous or si I iciouM character of the soil.
This .-arthy taste manifests itself, in fact, especially in cer-
tain southern countries, where the heat of the sun. ami a desire
to be economical, induce tl,r vine grower to i.ractice a low grow-
ing style that allows the vine branches to -sprawr' around as
they pleas,.. I„ these- IcKuilities this particidar flavor increases or
diminishes every year. Thiw, when at the end of crop time
dri/,iily and iH-rsistent niins «.t in, which wash the- grapes or
when the autumn is dry and devoid ul storn.s. the win.- r.-miiins
neutral and right in taste; if, on the contrarv. thcr.- c<» late
showers that dirty the grapes, the wines they will produce
p„s.sess this fault, which disgusts the wine expert, and prejudic
forever the commercial value of the wine, for no treatment and
no bit-nding can make it disiippear.
Hut bi-vond these natural causes there is another very com-
mon one. ill certain southern districts at least, and which is wer
c-alculat(-d to e.xaggerat-e the fault that we are now studying. W^
wish to sjieak of the vexatious habit that the wine makers havfl
of diluting c-artli in the must, and of putting this "hasty-pudding''
in the vintage, when it causes badly coopered vats to leak.
The experts that we have consulted suggest the absolute
doing away with this practice, so as not to confirm the proverbs
so often repeated: "That the earth is too good to do harm to
wine," or "that the vintage in fermentation, like the sea, rejects
from its bosom all strange bodies."
In short, whetlier the soil be silicious, argillaceous or calcar-
eous, it must be understood that its direct intervention in the
fermentation will l)e variable, and that calcareous soil is always
more injurious than the others, for it diminishes the natural
acidity of the must favorable to the development of normal fer-
mentation, and it favors, on the other hand, the probabilities of
secondary ferments setting in.
In a different order of things, let us see now what takes
place in the vineyards, where not only is the "earthy" ta.ste un-
known, but where it is also endeavored to in every way favor
the development of the fine bouquet of their own growth of wine.
There, in fact, or where the practice of growing the vims
high i-i adopted, or where the branches are supported with props,
wire o;- ties of rushes, so that the grapes can never come in con-
tact with the ground, and where, when the vintage time ccnn s
round, not only are the grapes never resting on the soil, but
even the fruit that has been accidently soiled is set apart in
wicket baskets capable of allowing the dried soil to pass away,
or when they are damp these baskets are replaced by very seam-
tight wooden boxes.
In the larger vineyards, the wine-making plant is itself
the .subject of cares that would amuse others besides the men
of the southern districts, for not only is it most carefully scrubbed
with clean water and scraped "to the quick,"' but it is as a last
precaution washed with a white napkin soaked in alcohol or
good brandy.
The last precaution is very sensible, for alcohol alone is ca-
pable of removing certain injurious extractive matters that are
insoluble in water, but still as it is naturally antiseptic, that is
to say, free from all germs, it is able to remove the various for-
eign germs always carried by ordinarj' water or outside dust.
In fine, modern experiences are establishing the fact that
not only <;an the fresh "vinous" taste only be obtained by the aid
of a perfect .system of fermentation in the air, but that there also
exist in this system different qualities pertaining to certain vines,
and also to certain growths of wine, and that these are the prin-
cipal causes of the characteristic bouquets of their produce.
The originator of this idea was our illustrious Pasteur; but
the experiments in support of it have only been accomplished
during the past few years by Messrs. L. Marx, Rommier and,
lastly, by M. Jaquemin. These different authors, after having
sterilised common grape-must, or even the must of tartarised
barley, have sown in them the pure j'east of grapes of Champagne,
of Chablis, and of Bordeaux. And they have obtained wim s
having each the bouquet characteristic of Champagne, of Chablis
and of Bordeaux.
Better still, if, as M. Jacquemin did, the same must of tai'-
tarised barley be sown with the ferment of cider or of perry, the
fermented liquors obtained possess the special aroma of these
drinks.
All these facts show very clearly that the "taste value" of
wines, and consequently their commercial value, is closely bound
up with the purity of the ferment that nature deposits in its own
good time on the surface of the berries of the grapes, and that
at the period of wine-making, more than at all others, there is
cause to mistrust strange ferments whic-h are constantly floating
in the air, deposit themselves in the shape of dust on the surface
of all solid bodies, and remain there in the state of germs, at the
risk of their being brought into contact with a fertile and suit-
able medium for their development.
In other words, starting from the moment when the grapes
are cut from the vine, they ought never to be soiled by aii\
foreign body, and the vats in which they are fermented ought to
be most scrupulously clean.

OHIO PUKE WJ/NE BILL.
[House Bill No. 406.]
AN ACT
To amt'iul sections 1, 2, :> ami 4 of an act passed Marcii U, 18S9 (O. L , voi. S(i, p Idi),
entitled "An act to define pure wines, wines, compounded wines and adult, rated
wines, and to regulate the manufacture and sale of compounded wines, audio pro-
hibit the manufacture or sale of adulterated wines witliin the Stale of Ohio.'"
Section 1. Bf It enacted l)i/ the Uetieral A.*!<emt>lii of the State of
Ohio, That sections one. two, three and four of above named act
he amended so as to read as follows:
Sec. 1. That all liciuors denominated as wine containing al-
coiiol, ''except such as shall be produced by tiie natural fermen-
tation of pure, undried grape-juice," or compounded with dis-
tilled spirits, or bj- both methods, whether denominated as wine,
or by any other name whatsoever, in the nature of articles for
use as beverages, except as allowed in section four of this act. or
for compounding with other liquors for such use, and all com-
pounds of the same with pure wine, and all preserved fruit-juices
compounded with substances not produced from undried fruit, in
cli ii-acter of, or intended for use as beverages, and all wines (in-
cluding all grades and kinds) which contain, or in the production
o.- manufacture of which, any glucose, or uncrystalized grape or
starch sugar, or cider, or pomace of grapes out of which the juice
lias been pressed or extracted, known as grape cheese, has been
used, and all wines, imitation of wines or other beverages pro-
duced from fruit into which carbonic acid gas has been artificially
injected, or which shall contain any alum, baryta, salts, caustic
lime, carbonate of soda, carbonate of potash, carbonic acid, salts
of lead, salicylic acid or any other antiseptic, coloring matter
(other than produced from undried fruit or pure sugar), essence
of either or any foreign substance whatever, which is injurious to
health, shall be denominated as adulterated wine, and any per.son
or person.^ who shall manufacture or cause the same to be done
with intent to sell any of such wine or beverage, shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a fine of not less than
two hundred dollars or more tliaii one thousand dollars, or be im-
prisoned in the county jail for a term of not less than thirty days
or mor.- than six mouths or by both such line and imprisonment
in the discretion of the court, and shall be liable to a penalty of
one dollar for eaeh gallon thereof sold, offered for sale or manu-
factured with intent to sell, and such wine or beverage shall
be deemed a public nuisance and forfeited to the State and shall
be summarily seized and destroyed by any health ofttcer, marshal,
constable or sheriff within whose jurisdiction the same shall be
found and the reasonable expense of such seizure and destruction
not exceeding the amount paid for similar services, shall be a
county charge and paid out of the county treasury in the same
numner as costs in criminal cases where the State fails to convict,
are now allowed and paid out of such treasury.
Sec. 2. For the purpose of this act the words -'pure wiiie"
shall be understood to mean the fermented juice of the undried
gi-ap js. without the addition thereto of water, sugar, or any for-
eign substance; and all such wines shall be known as "pure wine"
aiul shall be stamped, branded, labeled, designated and sold as
'•jjure wine,'" and the name and kind of wine, and the locality
where such wine is made and of the manufacturer may also be
added: and it shall be unlawful to affix any stamp, brand or label
containing the words "pure wine" (either alone or with other
words) on any vessel, package, bottle or other receptacle con-
taining any liquid, any imitation or counterfeit of such stamp,
label or brand of such form and appearance as to be calculated to
mislead or deceive any person or cause to be supposed that the
c(m tents thereof be pure wine or to use any ve.^sel, package, bot-
tle or other receptacle having such stamp, brand or label affixed
thereon, except for pure wine as in this section defined; and if
the name of the manufacturer is added, then only of such manu-
facturer's make providing the same is pure wine. And any per-
son selling such wine shall in the invoice thereof plainly state
and designate the same as ''pure wine."
Sec. 3. For the further purpose of this act the word "wiiie"
shall be understood to mean the fermented juice of undried
grapes: provided, however, that the addition of pure, white or
crystallized sugar to perfect the wine or the using of the neces-
sary things toclarifv and refine the wine which are not injurious
to health, shall not be construed as adulterations, but such wines
shall contain at least seventy-five per cent, of pure grape juice,
and shall not contain any artificial flowering whatever; and all
"wine" shall be known as "wine," and shall be stamped, branded,
labeled and sold as "wine," in the same manner as is provided
in section two of this act in case of pure wine, except the words
in this ease shall be "wine" without the prefix "pure" and all
the provisions of said section two, as far as applicable, shall gov-
ern the manufacture and sale of 'wine" as in this section defined.
And any person selling such wine shall in the invoice thereof
plainly state and designate the same as "wine" without us-
ing the prefix "pure."
Sec. 4. For the further purpose of this act, the word "com-
pounded wine" shall be understood to mean any wine which con-
tains less than seventy-five per cent, of pure undried grape-juice,
and is otherwise pure, and all wines containing alcohol or any
other distilled spirits not produced by the natural fermentation
of pure undried grapes; such wine shall be kuown as compounded
wine and shall be branded, marked, labeled, and .sold as com-
pounded wine and the name of such wine may be added, or
sudi wine shall be branded, labeled and marked by using the
word "compounded" next preceding the name of such wine, such as
"compounded sweet catawba,'" or compounded port wine," or the
like (and an addition of pure distilled spirits not to exceed eight
per (^ent. of its volume shall not be taken to be an adulteration
of such wine); and upon each and every package, barrel or other
receptacle of such wine, which shall contain more than three gal-
lons there shall be stamped upon both ends of such package, bar-
rel or other receptacle in black printed letters at least one iuch
high and of proper proportion, the words "compounded wine" or
the name of such wine preceded by the word "compounded" as
in this section i)rovided and upon all packages or other recep-
tacle which shall contain more thtm one quart and up to three
gallons there shall be stamped upon each of said packages or re-
ceptacle in plahi, printed black letters at least one-half inch high,
and of proper proportion, the words "compounded wine," or the

Wm. Vance Marquis,
Passed March 26, 1891. President of the Senate.
William, the famous Broadway New York bartender, says:
Blending liquors is like blended words or colors. A man's got to
be endowed with more than ordinary ability to make a good
drink-mixer. He should know the quality and adaptability of
every liquor fermented distilled or brewed. Acquiring this
knowledge alone will consume several years, and experiments in
blending them with the view of making a palatable combination
will occupy his time for several years more. I can make over
500 different sorts of mixed drinks. By studying the subject for
twenty-five years I have acquired the art of giving a man just
what he wants without asking him. If a man's a trifle seedy, I
know how to brace liim up; if his head is kinky inside, I have a
concoction to draw the kinks out, and so on. A little knowledge
of human nature is a powerful aid. and by using it at the right
time a barkeeper can make himself very popular. When a man
comes in here and doesn't know what he wants I size him up
and fix a drink for him. I am seldom mistaken in my estimate
of my subject, and he generallv goes away satisfied. Sometimes
a man will come in with weary step and haggard features— been
out the night before. He says: ''Pain in head, WiH'um: pain
in every bone; feel like I want to die." That man wants a "life
preserver" or two, and when he has got outside of them he's him-
self again. The new things in liquid combinations are "the
Gladstond cocktail," the Jeune d'esprit," ''the cobweb chaser,"
"the Italian wind" (and delicious it is), "the Tammany tepee. _
"the General Sherman." "the voung-man-afraid-of-his-squaw,"
"the winter girl," and a half dozen more These are made with
various liquors properly blended and are all very palatable.

GEO. TOURNF.Y Secretary.
THE GE/NCiS CO/NStiL.
Consular reports are often valuable, sometimes amusing and
occasionally dangerous to be relied upon as guides. It would
be difficult to properly classify the recent consular report of Mr.
Warburton, British Vice-Consul at La Rochelle. This gentleman,
with commendable zeal, began an investigation of the French
brandy trade. He lias succeeded in making a vigorous attack
upon it all along the line, but with what truth is another matter.
Ridley'* and all of the English wine trade journals have gone
after the official scalp of the Consul and expect to have it soon.
Hbdley'g in attacking the report once expressed the sentiment that,
after the phylloxera, the worst enemy of the wine trade was the
genu* Consul. It now amends its platform and awards the palm
to the Consul.
The American wine trade has suffej-ed considerably from the
Consul from other countries. We sympathize with the English
trade, knowing how it is ourselves.
A-RTHU-R MeEWE/N'S IDEA.
Anything that Arthur McEwen, the well-known journalistic
free lance of the (3oa«t, has to say on the Prohibition question is
well worth reading. Here is the latest he has s«mt out to his
syndicate of over a dozen of the foremost coast publications:
There are signs that the temperance (luostion is going to
occupy a good deal of the public attention here for a while.
The high license advocates have become rather prominent, with
Rev. J. Sanders Reed and Rev. Father Montgomery, an Episco-
palian and a Catholic clergyman, in the lead. They and others
have petitioned the Hoard of Supervisors to close the grocery bars
and small saloons by taxing them out of existence, and the pro-
posal me;>ts witli widespread, ses'ular favor. But the Prohibi-
tionist— narrow, fervid and impracticable, here as elsewhere — is
to the fore. Liist Suudiiy night a Methodist preacher attacked
tiie high license people fiercaly from the pulpit and at a meeting
of the Presbyterian ministers on Monday, Proiiibiton had it all
its own way.
One would think that anybody with an atom of sense ought
to know that Prohibition has no chance in California. This is a
wine growing State, iiiul millions of capital, to say nothing of
public opinion, are ho-ttile to Prohibition. At the very time
when our reverend friends are clamoring for what even they
must know there is not one chance in ten billion to get. Senator
Stanford is going t;) op.m a university which is largely endowed
with wina and brandy. The great Vina ranch depends for its
income upon these productions. Moreover, Mr. Stanford an-
nounces that in behalf of education he is about to engage exten-
sively in the manufacture of (champagne, which is a new depart-
ure for him. and on which he is receiving the felicitations of the
press. This link of the cask and bottle with the higher educa-
tion of our young men aiul women gives no shock to the people
of the State, who regard the grape as a good thing and the sale
of its juice to the wliole world as of vast importance to Califor-
nia. Nevertheless there is in this city and the other cities
and the towns a very decided inclination to curb the power of
the saloons. If all those who hate the sight of <lrunkenness and
deplore its consequenctes to tlie innocent were united, it would be
(liiite possible to obliterate the groggeries and confine the sale of
intoxicants to a comparatively few establishments. But the
Prohibitionists won't have any such "compromise with Satan."
They prefer the selfish satisfaction of -'standing up and being
counted" to any restriction upon the sale of the pleasant liquids
which (God forgive them!) they lump under the name of "Rum."
They are bound to have their logic at whatever cost to other
people's bodies and souls. From the style in which the holy
men speak of good liquor, one is persuaded that only solicitude
for their salvation restrains them from indicting the Almighty
principle. It bothers them, for it interferes with their fre-
(juent declaration that their Maker is like their own modest
selves, a Prohibitionist.
EXTRAORDINARY SALE OF HOGKS.
A sale of old Cabinet Rhine wines has taken place lately at
Coblenz, which is unique in the annals of this branch of the
trade. But such a cellar as that of the late Mr. Anthony Jor-
dan, at Coblenz, in favor of whose heirs the sale took pla«e, will
scarcely be met with again in the whole of the Fatherland, and
we are not surprised to hear that the salerooms were crowded,
that the represeutatives of nearly all the foremost wine merchants
vied with each other in securing some portions of this rare col-
lection of the most distinguished vintages, consisting mostly of
18(52, 1865 and 18()8 cms, and that the prices obtained were
throughout — and in some cases fiUiulously — high.
This sale may no doubt be looked u[>on as the hist of
the public auctions, tit Avliich iiny of these now rare and greatly
coveted vintages have been oftered. and it does not surprise us to
hear that a cask (routaiuing 800 pottles realised the extraordinarj'
high price of £74'2 U).-*., that is to say, nearly a sovereign per
bottle. It appears also that the valuation made by three of the
leading brokers was actually exceeded by the results eventually
obtained by £2,000. The total receipts of this sale amounted to
£8,511, in our opinicm the largest sum ever registered as the
product of the sale of a private collection of Rhine Wines— >Fin«

without uw of antiseptics such as salicylic acid, naphthol, benzol,
or other similar prepanitions. With port wine the grapes, ac-
cording to ItK-ality where grown, are allowed to get the highest
attMinable sweetness, from 2.S deg. Balling's scale up U) 37 or
more. The juic*' is then fermented to reach the highest possible

fermentitl to so gn-at a length as the port, so as to retain more

It will be oljserved that the l)usines.s of France in wines with
thette countries has doubled in four years.
Taking the countries in detail we find that the Argentine
tra«le has more than doubled. In Brazil the French merchants
have held their own. "No statement is made of the Chilean
trade because Chile is a wine producer making probably 25,000,000
gallons annually — or more than California. Columbia is the
only country where the French have not lield their own, the
decreaae in the four years being in round figures $150,000.
The Central American countries have taken more French
wine than ever, the imports in 1889 being valued at $57,837.
The California wine men in the same year sold $43,6'}9 worth of
wine in the same countries. In 1890 our .sale.s had increased to
$<US,'i37 wiiich is prolMibly as much as France sold there.
But it is in Mexico that our business ouglit to increase
8till mor». We pnd that France sold $604,557 worth of wine in
that country in 1885, while our exports were worth only $19,242.
In 1889 France sold 1703,-348 worth of wine to Mexico— we sold
133,648. It is true that our exjiorts in 1890 were valued at
$44,123 but this is nothing to what they should be.
Peru. I'ruguay and Venezuela all show a handsome increase
at import* in flie four years named.
Now what has the California trade done to capture this
buaincMt or at laast secure a slice of it? Practically nothing.
Central America is the only field in the south to which any at-
tention is given and the results are shown in the fact that we
have at least half of the business and are getting more all the
time.
Arj^-ntine, Brazil and Uruguay are possibly not within our
reach and the chanor* are that the totals for these countries are
larjK^y due to champagne which is consumed in the gay csipitals
of BnenoH Ayres, Rio de Janeiro and Monte Video. But Bolivia,
Coljimbia, Pern and Venezuela are witliiu our reach. We have
nothing to fe^ir from Chilean competition on the west coast of
8<mth America, inasmuch as Chile is not an exporting country
and our communications area* go<Ml as those of France. All
wines shipped from Fran';e to these c..untri..M make tiie transit
at Panama and our exports at the preoent time would haUb to do
the same.
D SPIRIT REVIEW^
li) to .Juni' of this year, and in fact for several years back,
the exports of winc to South America were practically nothing.
Thcr." were a few scattering shipments to Buenar Ventura and
Tuinaci) in C()lunil)ia. to Guayaijuil in Ecuador and to Callao in
IVru. .
All of a sudden, however, conies a bright spot. 'CljeJDhilean
r.-volution breaks out. The Chilean line of steamers connecting
Panama with tiie west coast falls into the hands of the insurgents
and becomes a thing of the past. The Pacific Steam Navigation
(!i)nipany's line, which goes over the same route, retires from
busini-ss practically. France has thus lost her trade for the
time being, communications being interrupted. The republics of
C:i)luml)ia and especially of Peru and Ecuador can get no wine
from Cliile, and the opportunity arriving several steamers have
been sent to the West Coast with plenty of wine from this State
aboard. The shipment by the Montserrat to Callao in May was
100 barn'ls containing; 5,050 gallons valued .'at $2,525. The
steamer llounslow has just taken 4,050 gallons valued at $2,300
destined for Iquiqui, Chile. We unlerstand that several ship-
ments are to follow.
This, of course, is desultory trade, but it is to be hoped that
the quality of our wine once established in the South, the de-
mand will continue.
F-RA/NK WEST BACK
Frank A. West, who was sent to Washington by the Sweet
Win? ^lakers' Association, to confer with the Internal Revenue
Department concerning the new rc^gulations governfng the use of
free brandy in fortifying wines, has returned to California. Jlr.
West reports that he was shown every possible courtesy by the
Commissioner, and that every facility was offered for a complete
and thorough revision of the regulations.
He is of the opinion that the new rulings will, in the main,
be satisfactory to thegrowers of California. The definition of the
term vineyard will not in his opinion, work such great hardships
as are predicted, and will in the end. be to the interest of the
producers. The Eastern growers interviewed by Mr. West, ex-
pressed their satisfaction with the rulings, and those whose win-
eries are not now located at their vineyards, will simply put up
cheap buildings at the vineyards and foi-tify in accordance with
the rulings. The Eastern growers realize more fully than Califor-
nians the importance of confining the fortifying of wine to the pro-
ducers exclusively. We hope Mr. West is correct in the opinions
he expressed, and that most of the. wineries located at shipping
points will be able to comply with the regulations of the Depart-
ment. If this object cannot be accomplished, the rulings will
unqestiouably work an injustice on the wine makeis so affected.
H. Brunhild the head of the well-known importing house of j
H. Brunhild & Co., New York, has just gone to Europe on a '
business trip which promises to be of the utmost importance to
the Pacific Coast trade. Before his return he will visit England,
France, Holland, Germany, Spain and Portugal and arrange for
closer trade relations with the Pacific Coast branch which, under
the management of S. Glaser has proved to be such a success
Increased facilities will be provided for importing directly frofn
the principal houses abroad, in bond, giving an assiirance of the
character of the goods disposed of Mr. Brunhild has manj- fine

THAT WO-RD "VI/NEgARB."
In another column will be found a letter from Internal
Revenue Commissioner Mason to Collector Quinn, in which the
principal changes made in the Sweet Wine regulations in conse-
(pxence ofj,Mr. Frank West's recent trip to Washington, are out-
lined. The new regulations are satisfactory with the exception
of the Commissioner's adherence to the definition of the word
"vinej^ard" in section 45 of the law.
The Commissioner, we think, is making a most serious error
in interpreting the law as he does on this point. There are many
wine makers in this State who fought, spoke and worked for
this law, who are excluded from its benefits because of the Com-
missioner's action. The Commissioner contends that he mnst take
the law as he finds it, but there is nowhere else in the law any
word or phrase which would indicate that the proximity of a
vineyard is necessary to insure a legitimate sweet wine maker
his rights and privileges. The law distinctly gives the right to
any producer whether distiller or not. To carry the interpreta-
tion he plac3S on this word to an absurdity he could just as well
forbid fortification in any winery located at a vineyard. In the
strictest seme the law says the fortification done must be done
at the "vineyard where the grapes are crushed," etc. Now no
fortification is done at a vineyard but at a winery; no grapes are
crushed at any vineyard, but in a winery. Why not shut out
every producer then?
The Commissioner's ruling, if enforced, will bring disaster to
many sweet wine makers in this State and in some sections will
seriously affect the price of grapes. It will also preclude the
possibility of producer's combinations such as the Pomona Wine
Company.
It is understood that many wine makers now shut out, who
are able to do so, will plant vineyards of an acre or so around
their wineries and thus secure the benefits to which they are en-
titled without any such subterfuge. To compel them to do so
and to shut out equally riglitful applicants who may not have
the space on which to plant a small vineyard, is puerile.
We know the motives which actuate Commissioner Mason in
making the ruling which he does, and we give him all due credit
for the same. We know that it is his aim and desire to shut out
the "brick vineyards" of New York city and other large cities
as from securing the benefits of the law. We are reliably in-
formed that applications by the score, yes by the hundred have
come to him through the principal cities of the East — from places
far removed from bona fide vineyards as San Francisco is from
the snow line. He has refused each and every application of
that sort, and for that he is entitled to the thanks of the legiti-
mate wine makers of California and the East. He recognizes
that once fortification priviljges are granted in the Eastern cities,
the law will be inetfective, a proposition to which all producers
will agree.
There is a solution of this difficulty to which we invite the
Commissioner's attention. It is known that during the past
fortnight a high official of this District sent a lengthy communi-
cation to the Commissioner calling attention to the hardships
which his rule, if enforced, Avould entail upon legitimate pro-
ducers here. He has made a thorough analysis of the law, show-
ing that the intent of the law is to give every legitimate producer
the Ijonefits. He proposes that the Collectors in the several dis-
tricts east and west be given authority to establish vineyard
districts in which wineries will be entitled to the law. This, if
adopted, would settle the whole trouble and be entirely satisfac-
tory to the producers who are now wrongfully excluded.
F-RA/NK WEST'S WOHK.
Chicago, III., July 2, 1891.
Editor Pacific Wine and Spirit Review. Sir — The work of re-
vising the Sweet Wine Regulations of the Internal Revenue De-
partment, is now complete and they will soon be ready for dis-
tribution.
In reviewing them, the grower must remember that while
soma of them are very strict, the sole object of the Department in
making them so, was to prevent fraud in the manufacture.
Numerous applications have already been ijiade to the De-
partment for permission to fortify, by persons who are undoubt-
edly intending to go into the business of manufacturing wines in
"four story brick" vineyards in large cities; hence the Department
has been stronglj' impressed with the necessity of preventing the
fortification of sweet wines in any wineries not directly connected
with bona fide vineyards, taking tlie view that if any deviation
is made from this stand, the line cannot be drawn at all. All
fair-minded growers can but admit that if the manufacture of
sweet wines is ever permitted in large cities and in establishments
of the kind I have mentioned, the industry will not only be
ruined, but the market would soon be flooded with cheap aloo-
holic mixtures which would unquestionably bring the whole bus-
iness into such disrepute as to cause the early repeal of the law.
These regulations were submitted to Collector Eldridge, Special
Revenue Agent for the Pacific Coast, who was called from San
Francisco, and also to Mr. Charles Kohler who wa« in Washing-
ton at the tima when the revision by Collector Eldridge, Mr.
Bates and myself was completed, and while the strict definition
of the term "vineyard" will affect Mr. Kohler personally to a
certain extent, he could but admit the soundness of the stand
taken by the Department.
I have visited many of the New York and Ohio wine makers,
and they, fully i-ealizing the importance of the measure, are more
than anxious that the manufactureofswei^ wines be forever con-
to fined the vineyard. It is erroneous to suppose that the in»er-
tiou of the word "vineyard" in Section 45 of the law, was acci-
dental, for it was, on the contrary, inserted at the instance of
the Internal Revenue Department with the express intention of
confining the fortifying of wines to the vineyard.
The provision requiring the gi'ower to state the quantity of
grapes received at his winery during each month and from whom
purchased, is made solely for the purpose of enabling the Gorern-
ment to trace fraud whenever suspected, and while it will involve
a little extra work, the growers must not lose sight of the fact
that these provisions are made in their interests only. It is the
intention of the Department to grant all producers of honest
sweet wines the full benefit of the law so far as possible.
I am aware that some of the regulations will be severely
criticized, but as a representative of one of the largest sweet wine
establishments in California, I am willing to comply with t5ie
strict letter of the rulings and know from experience during the
past season that there will be no difficulty in the practical work
of manufacturing under the new rulings.
The principal provisions are as follows:
First. Fortifying rooms will be required in all wineries. It
was at first proposed to make this provision apply only to pro-
ducers of over 1,000 gallons, but as few, if any, of the wine-makers
in California produced so small a quantity, it was decided to
make no exceptions. The object of the Department is to have
all sweet wines strictly under its charge during the process of
manufacture. The grower may, if he so desires, have a sample
of his wine taken immediately after fortification and can then
remove it from the fortifying room and traat ifeas he likes. Seals
are abolished. Gangers will be required to take samples before
fortification of all wines offered showing more than 15 per cent,
of alcohol and 4 per cent, of sugar. The object of the Govern-
ment in making this provision is simply to analyze abnormal
musts. There can be no possible objection, as it simply protects
the growers against fraud.
Second. The Saleron still will be adopted with corrections
for specific gravity. A Deputy Collector will be assigned in each
district where a sufficient amount of sweet wine is made to war-
rant it, who will test all samples and only such samples as are
deemed questionable will be sent to Washington.
Third. Wine-makers will be required to thoroughly mix
and blend the brandy with the wine in fortifying, in order that
the sample taken may be a fair average. This is to avoid such
confusion as has arisen during the past season from imperfect
samples.
Fourth. Samples will be taken in triplicate and properly
sealed, the grower retaining one for his protection, as these sam-
ples will be final and no appeal from them can be taken.
Fifth. The six hundred foot limit for the use of brandy
from special bonded warehouses has been abolished, except where
the Collector may deem it best.
Sixth. On or before April 30th, the producer vriU account
for all brandies withdrawn for fortification either by use, pay-
ment of tax, or re-warehousing.
In conclusion, I am convinced that our growers will find no
difficulty in operating under the revised regulations, as the wine
is simply released to the grower as soon after fortification as h»
desires. Respectfully Yours,
Frank A. West,

Sketch No. I. Henry B. Hunt of Moora. Hunt & Co.
Hcnrj' Brown Hunt, the active head of the house of Moore,
Hunt & Co., is one of the foremost figures in the trade of the
coast, and occupies a most enviable position in the estimation of
all clawes.
Mr. Hunt is a native of New Jersey. When about six years
of aije, his parents niove<l to \ew York, where he received his
ru linientary eilucjition. While he was a youth the news of
the gold discovery in California reached the East and in common
with thousands of others he determined to locate in California.
He left New York February 1, 1849 in company with his uncle
on' iKMird the st«'amer Falcon. He crossed the Isthmus the
journey taking three weeks and on his arrival in Panama, he
taok part in publishing the first number of the Panama Star,
Ninoe the Panama Sfrir aiul Herald, which is now known as one of
themo8t widely circulated journals in the two Americas. The first
number wa« printed ou foolscap paper and cost ten cents each.
A brief season in connection with the Panama .Sfeirsufficed him
and he embark hI on the steamer Oregon ariving in San Francisco
on the Ist of April 1H4». The Oregon wa« the second steamer
to arrive from the Isthmiw, the first being the steamer Panama.
Although but a boy he went intobusine.ss with his uncle J. B.
Beidleman. He hiwl not been here long until it was determined
by his people to give him further instru(;tion and accordingly in
18*»l he went E%»t remaining two years at Russell's Collegiate
Inntituti'. New Haven, Conn. On finishing his coui-sp, he re-
tume<l t » California RrM going to Sa^-nunento where he was con-
nnct«d with the old Orleans Hotel. A year later — in 1855— he
went toOroville and engaged in general merchandise and liquor
businew. The Frazer river gold exciU-ment turned him for a
short time from mcroaiitile pursuits, but he soon returned to
Orovilh" r.!maihing until liHUi when he went to Huramento and
oonne<;ted himself with the house of Powors & Co. In 18(;7 he
came to Han Francisco and entere<l business remaining ever
ainoe.
Here his success hiw b««n remarkable. At first he was with
K. Martin & Co. remaining from 18«7 until 1872. Then he wasa
partner witii Chelovich for three years and 1875 the firm of Moore,
Hunt & Co. wius organized, Mr. Hunt associating himself with
(ieoigc 11. Moore, the well-known Louisville banker, capitalist
ami distiller. Thomas Kirkpatrick was afterwards admitted to
tiu' firm.
The hou.se of Moore, Hunt & Co. is one of the most success-
ful ou the coast, and this is in no small measure due to his energy
and business ability. He has been a leader in making "Jesse
Moore" a household word on the Pacific Slope.
Though once taking an active part in politics, in the interior,
he has carefully kept out in San Francisco. At one time he held
the office of County Treasurer of Butte County, but here he has
followed a conservative course. While a resident of Oroville he
was Captain of the Oroville Guards, and was appointed adjutant
by General Bidwell. He was afterward in command of the Fifth
Brigade, N. G. C. while the General was in Congress. He is a
prominent Mason and Knight Templar, and is a member of the
Odd Fellows. He is the youngest pioneer of 1849, and is a most
active member of the Pioneers' Society.
Mr. Hunt was married in 1871 to Miss Emma Cole of
Brookljm, N. Y., the marriage taking place near Dowuieville,
Sierra County, in 1872. He is the father of three children, two
daughters and a son.
Physically he is tall — standing over six feet — and he is
accounted one of the finest looking men in San Francisco. Per-
sonally he is a prince of good fellows, commanding the respect
and esteem of all who are associated with him in business or so-
cially.
AVOID A/N ACICTIO/S SALE.
We are informed that another auction sale of California
wines and brandies is projected in New York this fall. It is
proposed to hold the sale some time in October and the same
parties who conducted the last sale to such an unsatisfactorj' is-
sue, are to have charge.
If the wine makers and distillers of this State have any re-
gard for their own financial welfare, they will let this New York
auction plan alone. Conducted by men of brains and backed by
suflicient capital it could be carried to a successful issue, but
those who have the matter in hand are endowed with neither of
the above requisites. The first sale last year was a failure in
every particular. Many lots of wine were slaughtered at ruin-
ous prices— others were withdrawn by the owners.
To enter any wines on the list this year is decidedly un-
wise. As at present conducted the sale only impairs values in
New York and that market — and in fact all markets, for our
wines j'ust now have serious enough drawbacks to contend
with, without suffering the infliction of the auction plan, un-
backed by any ability or capital.

Charles Koliler has returned from the East.
J. Leo Lilienthal, of Lilieuthal & Co., is back from his
Eastern trip.
E. C. Priber, Manager of the Napa Valley Wine Co., is East
on business.
A. Werner, the champagne maker, has returned to New
York after a six months pleasure trip.
Charles Bundschu, of J. Gundlach & Co., is in Victoria on a
business trip. He will be away a fortnight.
R. E. AVood, of Rutherford, is making an effort to organize
the grape growers of his district into brandy distilling socities.
A Guckenheimer & Bro., of Freeport, Pa., are at present
erecting a $30,000 grain elevator with a capacity of 300,000
bushels.
A new wine Company, the Middle Georgia, hfi.s been formed at
Griflfin, Ga. The capital is $50,000 and a winery will be erected
at Griffin.
Wilmerding & Co. have made another shipment of Peruvian
Bitters to New York by way of Cape Horn. The bitters are
having a fine sale in the East.
F. Korbel has just returned from the East after a visit ex-
tending over several weeks. He has established agencies for F.
Korbel & Bros.' wines in all the principal Eastern cities.
The W. C. T. U. of Sutter County is trying to abolish the
three saloons in the county by getting the local option law at
work. The license is now $200 quarterly.
The license at Riverside has proved too excessive, and sev-
eral retailers have petitioned the municipal authorities to revoke
their licenses. Still the prohibitionists are not happy.
The Belle of Bourbon Co. informs us that their business for
May was the largest in their history. The business this company
is doing in cased whiskies is in the nature of a revelation to the
trade.
Albert Lachman, the manager of the New York branch of
S. Lachman & Co., is in the city for a few days. He says that
business in New York is rather dull at present which is only
natural for the season.
R. Monarch is building a $100,000 residence in Owensboro,
Ky., and is organizing a big woolen manufactory. Mr. Mon-
arch's residence, when completed, will be by far the handsomest
in Kentucky, if not in the west.
E. C. Bichowsky, of the Sunny Slope Vineyard of San
Gabriel. California, has been visiting the city during the fortnight.
He left home in May, and has been calling on his customers in
the larger cities in the west and northwest, and started for home
on the 24th inst. — BonforVs.
F. A. Haber, the able manager of the Inglenook wines, has
spent the past fortnight at Lake Tahoe. Several members of
the finny tribe — magnificent specimens all — had reason to testify
to the piscatorial skill of Mr. Haber.
A. P. Hotaling & Co. have just received another 100 barrel
lot of "J. H. Cutter" via Cape Horn. The whisky after the
16,000 miles sea voyage develops a perfectly exquisite flavor,
which can be obtained in no other way.
The Mellwood Distilling Co. is preparing to erect a 100,000
bushel grain elevator, which when finished will make the plant
oue of the most complete distilling establishments in the United
States. This concern has about completed the placing of the last
of the '91 crop.
Another lot of "Jesse Moore" came per the ship A. J. Fuller.
The importation consisted of 160 sixty gallon packages and the
demand for the whisky has lately been such that this quantity
of whisky was badly needed to stock up the depleted storage
floors of Moore, Hunt & Co.
During the past few months, in which the Sunday saFoon-
closing ordinance has been in (^fi'ect in Los Angeles, the police
report that drunkenness has largely increased. I^ast month
there was 102 arrests for this cause, a greater number than in
any month during the past three yeare. '
Clarence M. Mann, I. De Turk's energetic Pacific ('oast rep-
resentative, is introducing a new sj)arkling wine to the trade
under the name of "Golden Gate champagne." The wine from
which it is made is (carefully selected and the utmost care was
taken in its preparation. The reception which it hae met is very
flattering.
Charles Meinecke & Co. will hereafter exclusively control the
sale from first hands of M. Cheva'lier-Apperts Oenotannin.
This arrangement has been made by Mr. Meinecke who is at
present in Europe and from this time the goods will be handled
exclusively by the firm. The arrangement is entirely satisfactory
to the producers of the coast to whom the reliability of the house
is well-known.
Two distilleries are soon to be put in operation in Oregon —
one at Medford, Jackson county, and the other a few miles east
of Portland, on the line of the Union Pacific. These distilleries
will, on starting up, use probably about 500 bushels of wheat
each per day, which will soon be increased to 1,000 bushels each
per day. Both of the distilleries will be ready to begin opera-
tions as soon as the new crop is in the market.
F. Albertz, the well-known wine maker of Cloverdale, ex-
pects to manufacture a large quantity of grape syrup this year —
possibly as much as 75,000 gallons. He has already secured con-
tracts for over .35,000 gallons. He will erect the necessary fac-
tories at Cloverdale and at any other place deemed advisable.
This adds his name to those of G. H. Malters of Fresno and the
Yolo winery of Woodland, as among the foremost producers in
the State of this excellent article.
F. McElarney of Cloverdale is leading a movement to estab-
lish a new distillery there. He says he has received a letter from
San Francisco parties who are considering the feasibility of start-
ing a brandy distillery in Cloverdale. They oftier to put up a
first-class brandy distillery, pay all the expenses themselves, the
grape grower to market all his grapes there, and credit will be
given him for same as so many shares in the distillery. In one
years time it could be paid for and consequently next year there
would be more of a demand for grapes and prices would accoi'd-
ingly be high.
Siebe Bros. & Plagemann have just received a carload lot of
the celebrated "Belle of Bourbon" whisky direct from the
distiller, the Belle of Bourbon Company of Louisville. This
whisky is admittedly one of the finest that is produced in Ken-
tucky. Every care that can be exercised in the distilling opera-
tions is observed, and only the oldest and selected stocks are
bottled. Messrs. Siebe Bros. & Plagemann carry these goods in
glass only and are meeting with flattering success in introducing
them to the best class of customers of the coast. The "Belle of
Bourbon" has many friends out here and is making more all the
time.
At the must condenser at Geyserville everything is
in tip top shape, and the machinery looks as bright
as a new dollar. Walter Scott of Healdsburg is in charge
of the establishment, and is living alone on the place. Last
year fifteen hundred tons of grapes were condensed into
must at the establishment; which has all been shipped, mostly- to
foreign countries. This year at least 1 ,500 tons of grapes will
be used, and it is more than likely that the condenser will run to
its fullest capacity. Seventy tons of grapes can be handled every
ten hours, so that over 4,000 tons of grapes can be shipped in a
season.
The new liquor license ordinance passed by the Alameda
City Trustees took effect on the 1st of July. It fixes the license
at $500 per annum, payable semi-annually. All applicants must
furnish the names of twenty-five heads of families living within
a distance of 600 feel of the proposed saloon as indorsers, while
no license will be granted where any other gocnls are sold, and no
saloons will be permitted within 100 feet of a public school. The
board also reserves the right to refuse licenses where considerwl
necessary in the judgment of the Trustees. There is still much
trouble over the ordinance.

What is a ViQtyard?
Collector (iuiiin ha** rwfivwl the Aillowing It'tttr outlining
the n«w Swwt \Vin»> Kt-jiulutions wnm to bo pul)Ii«lu><l:
Tkkamiry Department,
Office of Isteknai. Rkve.m'e,
WAMIINCiTON. I). C, July 10, 1891.
John C. (^litin. Ki»i.. Collrrlor of Firrt Di^trirt, San Franrisco,
(hl.—HiH. I have to inform you that the rt'gulations concerning
the withilrawal. frw of tax. from diHtillorion and Hp; cial bonded
warehoumw. of wine spirit.s or graix" biandy, and the u.se of such
npirita or brandy in the fortificsition of i)urt> Hweet winoH and the
fortifiration of wine for exp >rt, have been revised and as revised
were approved on the 7th instant by the Hon. Secretary of the
Treiwury.
Th«ie revi!»ed regulations and revised forms 256, 257, 261
275 and 21H) will Ih> printe<l and distributed as soon as possible
but w it is feared the distribution may not be completed before
the 1st proxim-). it is thought advisable to give you an outline
in this letter of the changes made in the regulations and to
specify what chang** in said forms already printed are necessary
to adapt them for use under the new regulations.
The changes in the regulations are as follows:
That provision is stricken out of the bond. Form 256, which
requires the use of the brandy within a certain number of hours
of the arrival of the officer designated to supervise such use.
I'nder the head of "Instructions as to execution of bonds
an<i qualifu-ation of suretii's." the collector is directed to satisfy
hinisi-U that the princii>al is a person entitled to give a bond and
that he intends to fortify the article for the purpose and at the
place dewrilHHl in the law, and within the limitations specified
in the law. also that he has set apart a fortifying room as pro-
vided in the regulations. Such portions of the law as define the packages, serial numbers
person, the article, the purpose and the place and set forth the
limitations are (|uoted or referred to and the decisions on these
points heretofore made have been inserted in the regulations.
As matter of siKH-ial interest, the following is quoted from
this part of the regulations: "The place at which the fortifica-
tion is to 1)0 iK'gun and completed is at the 'vineyard of the wine
grower where the grapes are crushed and the grape juice is ex-
pressed and fennente<l.' In order to comply with this section,
it is not ne<'ee8;iry tliat all the grapes shall be grown at the place
where the winery is situated, but it is ab.iolutaly necessary that
there shall l»e connected with every winery as a part of the
premisi's a vineyard, and while this office will not attempt in
these regulations to determine the acreage or the number of
grape vines neceasary to constitute a vineyard, it will insist that
it must be a bona fide vineyard.
"A wine maker cannot fortify under the bond any wine ex-
cept that expri-SR«Kl fr(jm grapes at his own winery. As his wine
must be made exclusively from the juice only of grapes crushed
at his vineyard, he cannot use in the preparation of wine to bo
fortificil fre<' of tax the juice of grapes crushed at another vine-
yanl or phut-, nor can he so use any product of such grapes, such
as wine, concentrated must or condensed must. He may, how-
ever, purchase fr.wh grapjs from other parties and crush them at
his vineyard."
The limitations refpiire that, in every winery where pure
swe<'t wines are made and intendeil to be fortified with brandy
fre»' of tax, a nmm to be known as the fortifying room will be
set ajMirt. This r.Kiin will be secur«!ly built and partitioned so as
to Ix' enlin-ly s«'|)anite from every other part of the winery with
all its wind((ws and d(K>rs or other openings leading to or from
the Hiune so arranged and built as to be mniurely locked, bolted
or Imrred from the insi<l«', the entrance door to be lo<-ked with a
government seal Iwrk, the key of which must l)e at all times in
<'harge of the United States ganger. Collectors will make
requisitums for the neciiamiry hn-ks and seals and the necessary

The fortifying n)<)m must be entirely under the control of
officer detailed by the Collector of Internal Revenue by his order
Part 2, Form 257. This officer will attend for the purpose of
gauging, taking sjimples and supervising the fortifying of wines
in jnirsuance of the re^iuests of the wine maker of Parts 1 and
3, Form 257.
When the wines to be fortified are ready for fortification,
thev will be drawn into tanks or vessels in the room and the
officer will proceed to take samples and ascertain the quantity
and the saccharine and alcoholic strength. If the wine oflfered
for fortification indicates zero and less by the saccharometer,
before evaporation, also if it contains more than 15 per cent, (by
Salleron t«st) of alcohol by volume, and 4 per cent, of sugar by
weight, the gauger will take samples of such wines before forti-
fication for analysis before he allows the wine makers to add
grape brandy.
If the wine oiferod for fortification contains not less than four
per cent, of saccharine matter and otherwise complies with the
law, the officer will allow the wine maker to add grape brandy,
but not in excess of the fourteen per cent, and twenty-four per
cent, limitations fixed by the law.
■ The wine maker will thoroughly mix and blend the brandy
with the wine in order that the alcoholic and saccharine strength
ofthewino fortified maybe unifo.-m throughout tlie tank or
other vessel. The gauger will then take quart samples of each
tank in triplicate as provided.
If it is impracticable for the wine maker to add to the wine
at the tim3 of the arrival of the gauger, pursuant to his notice on
Part 1 or 3, Form 257, a sufficient quantity of grape brandy to
preserve the saccharine matter in the wine, he rauot, at some
time daring the season, notify the gauger of his desire to complete
the fo.-tification at a sacond operation. Such notica to be in du-
plicate anl to accompany Form 257, the ganger's reports on which
will cover tha brandy used at both operations. The notice will
be in the following form :
Form 312.
The undersigned distiller and wine producer, finding that the
quantity, proof gallons of grape brandy contained in
to , is insuffi-
cient to preserve the saccharine strength of. gallons of
pure sweet wine produced by him, desires to use proof
gallons of grape brandy in addition to that already used, the to-
tal quantity used and desired to be used being within the 14 per
cent, and 24 per cent, limits fixed by law and which additional
brandy he will have ready for use on the day of. 189 ,
at the hour of. M.
This request is therefore made by him that such brandy be
gauged and its use supervised on the day and at the hour above
named.

Under the heading "Stamping Packages Fortified in the For-
tifying Room," it is provided that "When a tank or other vessel of
wine is fortified in a fortifying room, the gauger will affix a stamp
thereto, and such package so filled will be designated in all re-
ports by its serial number and the serial number of such stamp.
Whenever the contents of one or more packages are transferred
to one or more other packages, in the reports of such transfers
the serial numbers of the original packages, and the serial num-
bers of the stamps on the original packages together with the num-
bers of the new packages and numbers of the stamps on the new
packages will be given as well as the contents in gallons of the
new and the old packages. Whenever the wine maker desires to
remove a vessel filled with fortified wine, or the contents of a
vessel of fortified wine, from the fortifying room to another por-
tion of his winery, the gauger will remove the stamp from such
vessel.
"The contents of such vessel may not, however, be returned
to the fortifying room or be eligible for ftirther fortification with
brandy free of tax. If, however, the wine maker so desires, the
gauger may leave the stamp upon such package and mark the
package as hereinafter provided, so that the wine maker may sell
or dispose of such wine in the stamped package.
"All brandy withdrawn from a distillery or a warehouse, for
fortifying wine, must be accounted for by April 30th of each year,
either by use, payment of tax, or, in case of warehouse withdraw-
als, by re-warehousing.
All fortified wine and brandy must be withdrawn fi-om the
fortifying room on or before April 30th of each year, and the Gov-
ernment lock, will, upon such withdrawal, be removed by the
gauger and returned to the collector."

ner of Fortification," it is provided that "Samples of pot leeB

than one quart each for purposes of careful analysis will be ta-
kon in triplicate." Also that "The stamp will be affixed to the
I lead of the cask or package except in the case of standing tanks
when the stamp will l)e affixed to the bung stave," and the guager
is only required to cut upon the bung stave, tlie letters and tig-
iires indicating the saccharine and alcoholic strength when the
wine maker desires to have the wine shipped under the Govern-
ment stamp. All instructions under this heading relating to af-
fixing seils are stricken out, the use of fortifying rooms render-
ing the use of seals unnecessary for the protection of the United
States and their use for the convenience of the wine maker not
having been thought desirable.
Under the heading "'Reports of Wiue Makers," the require-
ments as to "kind of grapes" is stricken out and the wine
maker is required to state J;he quantity of grapes received from
his vineyard or vineyards and tlie quantity purchased from other
grape growers, giving the names and locations and the quantity
of grapes used by the wine maker in the manufacture of sweet
wines.
Under the heading "Prohibition under Section 45 as to use
of Wine Spirits," the portion of this section relating to this
matter is (juoted and the following is added: "Pursuant to this
section, the collector will make' a special report to the Commis-
sioner as to each case whenever he deems a distance limit neces-
sary for the prevention of the violation of the law, stating what
distance is necessary with reasons for his recommendation.
"Storing or having on storage in the fortifying rooms any
wines or spirits other tlian those permitted by these regulations
is forbidden.
"The use, in the fortification of wines, of wine spirits on
which the Internal Revenue Tax is overdue is also prohibited."
Under the heading "Directions for sending Samples for
Chemical Analysis," provision is made for taking samples in
bottles in sets of three. Each bottle to have a label. Form 279,
Rivised, affixed. There shall be stated on the label the date,
name of producer and location and number of the winery; •var-
iety; serial number of package and when sample was taken; per
cent, alcohol by volume; and per ceut. sugar by weight. The label
will also be signed by the ganger and the producer and will con-
tain a statement to the effect that each signer agrees that the
wine in the bottle to which the label is affixed is a fair average
sample of the wine in the package described therein. The
gauger and wine maker will see that the wine in the tank is
thoroughly mixed and blended with the spirits before the sam-
ples are taken.
The gauger is required to send a detailed report of the case
on Form 27.5 to the Callector and Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.
Two of the three samples taken, all carefully sealed, are to
be forwarded to the collector of the district, the third to be re-
tained by the wine maker.
No antiseptics are allowed to be added to samples taken
after the brandy is added, but in the few cases of samples of
wine taken before fortification, the officer will add to each quart
sample the contents of a six-grain package of salicylic acid.
The wine maker will retain one of the samples and will send
the other two to the collector by express. The wine maker will
pay for boxing and expressing tlie samples to the collector and
unless one of the samples is to be tested in the collector's office,
the collector will send both to the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, the express charges covering the samples sent to the
Commissioner to be paid by the Commissioner. If, however, one
of the samples is to be tested by a deputy as herein provided, the
collector will send to the Commissioner only oiie sample and
then only in the cases herein provided for.
Where, in the opinion of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, the quantity of sweet wine produced and fortified in
any collection district renders such a course necessary, the Col-
lector of Internal Revenue for the district may detail one or
more deputy collectors of sufficient technical skill, to whom all
samples of sweet wine taken as herein provided shall be sent for
analysis, under supervision of the collector, and the said collector
will be furnished, for the use of said deputy or deputies, with
suitable chemical apparatus for that purpose. The deputy col-
lector will make tests of one of the two samples in each case sent
to the collector, and if such tests show that alcohol in excess of
one or both of the limits fixed by the law has been used, or that
the wine had, before fortification, less than four per cent, of
saccharine matter, or is otherwise not of the kind and character
which may be fortified under the law, he will report the fact to
the collector who will take appropriate action. If, however, the
wine maker is of the opinion that the findings of fact by the
deputy collector are incorre(!t, he may have the sample retained
by him analyzed by any chemist whom he may select, and if the
result of sucli analysis sustains the wine maker's view of the
matter, the collector will forward the third sample to the Com-
missioner of Internal Revenue for a final analysis. The box
containing the third sample will be addressed: "Laboratory,
Office of Internal Revenue, Treasury Department, Washington,
D. C, and forwarded by express.
Under the heading " Method for Daterming in Alcohol," in-
structions are given for the use of the Salleron still in connection
with tables II. III. and IV. which are furnished:

The stockholders of the American Champagne Co. are to
have a meeting in New York on the 27th inst., at which time
the future policy of the company, and in fact the future of
the Reihien process in America will be decided.
First of all it is certain that in case the company continues
operations, the factory will be removed to New York. The lease
of the present quarters on Folsom street will expire shortly and
has not been renewed. The local agents of the company are
rapidly disposing of their cooperage and other appurtenances
and we understand that a cracker manufacturing company wil
occupy the building from the first of September.
In case the company decides to continue business it will un-
doubtedly do so in or near New York-, necessitating a removal of
all the machinery thither. We understand that there are several
matters to be decided at the New York meeting aside from the
question of removal, in connection with the patent rights in this
country.
From a recent issue of RidhifK of London, we learn that
there will have to be several improvements made in the machinery
and methods at the Wachenheim factory in Germany. Ridley's
states that whilst the profits of the Wachenheim factory were
221,.395 marks in 1888 and 119,176 marks in 1889, the year 1890
showed a deficit of 127,334 marks. The capital of the company
is 1,000,000 marks of which 349,401 marks is invested in build-
ings and 55,414 marks in machinery. Ridley's also states that
some improvements on the process must be made.
WIMES FOK FKA/SeE.
Mr. Duncan Bankhardt the California representative of the
firm of Couderc & Yenn, Cette, is engaged in shipping several
carloads of wine to his house. The wine will go overland and
will be sent by steamer from New York.
Mr. Bankhardt is endeavoring to charter a sailing ship of
say 700 tons burden for the Mediterranean. If he can chartsr
one at once so that she will arrive in Franc3 before February 2,
1892, he will ship 100,000 gallons of wine to France for blending
purposes.
These goods, which we are selling largely to wine and cham-
pagne manufacturers throughout the country, are perfectly tree
from the smallest speck of dirt or dust, and are beautifully trans-
parent. They are not like the sugary stuff" sometimes sold as
rock candy.
In ten barrel lots, we sell the crystals at a slight advance on
the cost of refined sugar. Samples on application.

[kegulak CX)EEESP0NDENCE.]
Chicago, July 10, 1891.
A correspondent gets very tired of saying at the outset of
all his letters that there is nothing new to report. First of all
it greatly offends his newspaper sense, if he has any, and if ho is
honest he feels that lie is admitting that he is neither doing
his duty or earning his money. And yet when I read that state-
ment in the first paragraph of all the letters from all sections of
the Union, and see it standing, as if it were stereotyped, at the
lioad of the market reviews in all the wine and spirit trade papers
iu the land, I try not to feel lonesome when, time after time, I
am constrained to open the ball with that old chestnut about
tilings being "dull.'- I try to "skirmish around" and to get on to
all the news that is afloat in Chicago that will interest the Cali-
fornia readers, but after I have visited a dozen people in the
liquor business, and they have all said that there is nothing do-
ing, what am I to do but take their word for it, and so report to
the public.
One day last week I dropped into the office of a broker to
learn what was new in his branch of the business, and he told
me he was not earning his salt. While talking with him the
traveling man for one of the best known brands of Kentucky
whiskies came in. He has just made a month's trip, and it was
really amusing, though sad, to hear him tell of his experience on
the road. City after city was visited and not an order secured.
At last luck changed and an occasional small order broke up the
monotony of life for him. The result of the eonferenc3 between
the broker and the salesman was the conclusion that business
was extremely dull all over the country, and especially so in this
city. But like the California land agent in a "boom-busted-town,"
things are going to be lively in the fall. Certainly let us hope
.so. Tii:\t the prices will rule higher there can be no doubt, for
all the distilleries in the country are either shut down or limiting
their output. Naturally the run of trade consumption is ex-
hausting the older goods rapidly, and as newer are required to
take their place the price will be advanced by the commercial law
of demand.
The whisky trust has reduced the output of all the distiller-
ies under their control and has sent formal notice to that effect to
the Collector of Internal Revenue. Shufeldt's will hereafter util-
ize only 1,800 instead of 4,500 bushels of grain, the Calumet
2,200 instsad of 3,203, and other trust plants in like ratio. De-
spite the invariable dullness of the summer season in the whisky
market, Shufeldt's was never before known to reduce its output.
Consequently this action of the trust is regarded as the first of a
series of acts calculated to curtail the supply and raise the price.
The move has already had one effect — the cutting down of the
force of gangers and storekeepers.
Just now there is a lull in California goods as well as in all
otlier.^ in the same line. Of course the regular run of local trade
is about the same, and on the increase, if changed at all, but the
tlealers have all stocked up for the summer, and that makes it
hard tD place new orders. During the past fortnight some half
dozen California m'>n have been here, and it is said that all have
gone on disappointed. I have sounded the warning note in these
columns, and will do it again for the benefit of the friends "over
there." Positively there is only room for just so much California
wine in this city, and when that limit is reached that settles the
whole matter. It is useless to try to force more than that
amount upon the market, for if it is taken at all it must be at a
great sacrifice. That is the way the wholesale men like to get
it. It is business for a man to get a thing as cheaply as he can
and sell it for all he can. Now the thing to do is to keep out of
the market when it is overstocked. The wine business is well
in hand, and it is easy to learn where every gallon of it is, and
how fast it is being consumed. By judicious pocking, the supply
could be so adjusted as to meet the demand and always command
a good figure. As pooling is the order of the day why not pool
the wine interest as well as on the whisky and beer?
Another drawback to the wine trade is the miserable custom
of giving six months' credit on sales made. When a man buys
a bill of whisky he either pays spot cash or arranges to meet it
in thirty days, but to the wine men he says that he must have
six months' time to turn in or he cannot handle it. The sales-
man is here on expense, and wine is, or has bean in times past
when the custom was established, very slow of sale at best, and
so the terms demanded were met by force of circumstances. This
could also be remedied by a proper system of pooling.
That the local trade in California wine is on the increase
there can be no doubt. The fact that there is hardly a street
that has not a California wine room on it, is evidence that there
is a big and growing demand for it. I am told that there are
several new enterprises on foot, and that a number of wine men
in California intend to place houses in this city for the sale of
their individual wines. Again, gentlemen, let me warn you.
You are all Californians, and you know how, in the old mining
days, when reports came of a new find, everybody would pick
up and rush off to the new "diggin's." They often left paying
claims for the merest chimeras. That spirit has followed us
down till even at this late day, if reports come that a boom has
struck a town, off the people rush, pell-mell until it is all over-
done, and times get worse than they were in the place where thie
people came from. So now, learn a lesson. There is a growing
demand for California wines. It is healthy now, but is not able
to stand any crowding, and just as sure as a whole colony of
California wine men come over here at once, the whole business
will receive a backset that will take a long time to overcome.
This is not written in the interest of those who are here, though
I am free to confess that I think they should have some recom-
pense for pioneering the Chicago market. I should be glad to
see the Eastern market take every gallon of California wine as
fast as produced and at "way up" figures.
The "Harvey" restaurant and cafe is doing a great deal to
help bring about that very thing. Colonel Harvey reports the
sale of over $300 worth of California wines at his tables for the
past two weeks. A big point in this is that this wine has reached
a class of people who would not have tasted it under any othec
circumstances. Having tasted it they will order it again and
again till they become regular customers. Colonel Harvey is
proving himself to be a veritable friend to the California wine
industry, and deserves the thanks of all the wine men on the
coast.
M. Von Klitzring, representing the Napa Valley Wine Com-
pany, has just come in from an extended trip through the north-
west. Unfortunately he is not able to report any flattering
sales. The bottom is out of llie boom in the northwest, and
people find they can do without liquid refreshments much easier
than the more substantial bread and butter; hence they cut the
former off as soon as times begin to pinch a little. Wholesale
whisky men tell me the same thing about the country between
the Missiouri river and the Rocky mountains where there was
such a miserable failure of crops last year.
H. A. Merriam, representing the Los Gatos Wine Company,
is here introducing their wines to the trade, but with what success
I am unable to say.
Ariel Lathrop, general manager for Senator Stanford, was
here last week. He expressed himself as well satisfied with the
manner in which the To-Kalon Company was handling the Vina
brandies.
A. Brun, proprietor of the well-known Nouveau Medoc wine
cellar at Oakville, Napa county, was here a week ago visiting
with friends, and incidentally making new friends among the
trade. He gave a pleasant little dinner to a few of his friends
at the "Harvey" which was fully in keeping with his well-known
hospitality and Colonel Harvey's well-establishe<J abilities as a
caterer.

EXTE/Nt) THE SO/^t)E'D PEHIOD.
From all quarters of the country where whisky and brandy
•re distille<I corner a cry for the extension of the boadsd period.
The Kentucky, Tonnewsee, Pennsylvania and Maryland whisky
producers as well as the California brandy distillers are one and
all unanimous on the point. There is neither reason, justice nor
a?nse in the present law, and the demand that it be changed is in
•ooordance with every dictate of public policy.
Of course such a measure as an unlimited bonding law
will have stormy oppo.sition. It is well-known from what quar-
ter It will come and the motives which will inspire it. Neverthe-
less there is every reiison to believe that the measure can be
carried through at the coming se.-*.-»on of Cangress.
The mode of opjwsition is equally well known. But it is in
reason that a fair and etiuttable showing (;an be made by the dis-
tillers and thus counteract the effect of the attack that will be
made.
By all means let the good work go on. Let the distillers of
the East exhibit the same enegy which will be developed by those
in Ohiifomia, and the bill can be put through no matter what the
opposition may be.
eCIHIOCIS BUSIMESS METHODS.
During the past fortnight P. A. Lamping & Co., the Oakland
agentft for the Ivos Gatos and Saratoga Wine Co., were attached
by Sroufe & McCrum, the Market street dealers for a bill of goods
payment of which was not due until the first of September.
There is a story Indiind this attachment which illustrates the
peculiar businem nu>tho<l of the firm calling the Sheriff's assis-
iMloe. Some time ago Lamping & Co. decided to purchase more
eztamdvely in the East, and only nvently received several in-
voices of goods. Mr. I>amping says that he can think of no
jOther reason for the attachment of the local firm. Their bill
amounted to |4«1. 13 which .Mr. Lamping states was not duo
until September.
Mr. lumping says that afler the attachment was made Sroufe
& McCrum attempt«d to compromise by having Mr. Lamping
give his note payable Heptemlier 1st. This he would not do
and released his pro|M'rty valued at «7.(KMI by giving bonds.
Mr. Lamping is informed by his atlornev that the firm is
liable for damages for it« proco<lure in the maftcr.

Duncan Bankhardt Thinks that the New French Tariff Will Operate:
Very Unfavorably to California Producers.
San Feancisco, July 14, 1891.
FJifor Wine and Spirit RevieuK— Some time ago I promised
you an article on the value of California bottled wines in the
French market. If I have not kept my word it was because I
was waiting for the resultsof the discussion of the French Wine
Tariff in the "Chamber of Deputies" which has now come to an
end, by the vote establishing the duty on foreign wines at one
franc fifty centimes for each degree of alcohol up to eleven per
cjnt. as a maximum and seventy centimes as a minimum. It
now remains to be seen how California wines will be rated at the
maximum or the minimum. Owing to the McKinley Bill there
can be very little doubt. They will almost certainly be quoted
at the maximum, in which case it means prohibition, as the follow-
ing figures will prove.
The old tariff stipulates 4 francs 50 centimes per hectolitre
up to 15 degrees, showing therefor per 26 gallons or hectolitre
4f. 50c.
The new tariff stipulates:
Maximum If. 50c. per dogree on 11° 16f. 50c.
From 11 to 12^° (average strength) 1^° @ 2f. 65c 3f. 97c.
Maximum new duty 20f. 47c.
The minimum is as follows:
Minimum Of. 70c. per degree on 11° 7f. 70c.
U°@2f. 65c. 3f. 97c.
Minimum new duty Hf- 67c.
It will easily be seen by the above figures that there has
been an enormous increase in the new tariff bill and if the max-
imum means prohibition the minimum means little better. The
difference between the present 4f. 50c. to llf. 67c. is almost three
times as much, and with the enormous rate of transportation
there would be little chance of competing with similar wines
from Spain and Hungary. On the other hand owing to a decrease
of importations to this country there will be fewer vessels avail-
able, thereby augmenting the rates of the vessels bound out.
Who will be the loser? The California wine grower, who
will have to sell his wine cheaper, to allow for extra expenees on
duty and transportation which is the natural result of the
Mckinley Bill.
I may add that as a result of sending some samples of '90
California wines to Cette two months ago, I have received tele-
graphic order to ship several carloads via New York which will
undoubtedly be followed by a good many more, so as to reach
France before the new tariff comes in force. When the act takes
effect the exportation of wine to France will probably come to
an end and our wines will be left completely to American con-
sumption.
What will then become of the surplus? McKinley will
perhaps be able to dispose of it.
Accofding to the latest advices I have received from Paris
the California wines were being seriously taken into considera-
tion in the three principal markets of France, but the letter was
written on the 26th of June, and the new tariff was passed in
July.
Considering the situation it is useless for me to trouble you
any more either about bottled wines, or otherwise, and I will not
take up your space further, unless some radical change is made
in the actual new wine tariff. If changes are made I shall be
pleased to advise your readers of some news which may give
them more pleasure than what I have been compelled to write
you to-day.
Yours truly.

Hopiug^ to be favored with a share of your patronage, we
are. ■ Very Respectfully,
Bheinbtrom Bitoe.
OwENSBORo, Ky., June Ifi, 1891.
Dear Sir: — My distilleries closed down May 2nd, the pro-
duction being less than half of that for last season, and strictly
hand-made sour-mash whisky.
The experience of years proves to the trade that conserva-
tive production, united with superior quality of goods, and small
outs, insure a safe and profitable investment. lu these partic-
ulars my brands are worthy of your attention and comparison
with any other of the standard Kentucky brands of sour-mash
before buying.
The average outage during past eight years at unbending —
36 months — was about 5^ gallons per barrel, and this season the
storage, cooperage, etc., is the same kind — quality, proof and outs
guaranteed on each barrel.
Correspondence re(juested. Samples and prices upon appli-
cation, and satisfaction guaranteed.
Yours truly,
M. P. Mattingly.

with information we published to the trade that par annual crop
of 01<l Taylor, rye and Ijourbon combine<l, has never exceeded,
and under our m'anageiuont. will never exceed 4,000 barrels. Our
Old Taylor is strictly a high grade specialty and the over-pro-
duction of whisky in Kentucky will in no wise affect its position."
W. B. SAMUEIi* & CO.
The brand of this firm, controlled at pre93nt by Messrs.
Hoffhcimer Bros., Cincinnati, proves that the stock of '89s and
following ages have b^en kept strictly within conservative limits.
There were mule of '89rf, 1.210 barrels, of which up to May 31st,
466 have already been voluntarily tax-paid, and at the time of
writing fully 50 per cant, has baen withdrawn from bond. In
1K90-91 there were produced but 2,000 barrels for each season,
and this certainly must l)e considered conservative production,
particularly with the large 8ourt!v« of distribution backing it.
WHITE MILI-S.
This brand, «l8o controlled by Hoffheimer Bros., shows that
in '89 there were ma«le 2,278 barrels, of which up to May 31 ,
there waH voluntarily tax-paid 1 ,892 barrels, leaving but 386 bg,r-
rel«» in bond, or 20 per cent, of the entire prod«ce. This may
nerve an a good |)ointer for brokers who may be trying to secure
some of this brand in IkjihI, for it may save them pousiderable
diH{iatching. and also a jKjinter to the holders of the remnant to
hold on to what they have, an l)cing practically not replaceable.
The output <if '90 consistwl of 4,463 barrels, 1 ,631 of which have al-
n«dy l)e«'n withdrawn. Such a large withdrawal of '90s spetiks
for itaelf and for the care bestowed upou storing and maturing
the brand. At this rate, not a barrel will be in bond long before
the taxpaying s«'ai«oii comes round. In the current season there
was ma4le less than in '90.
The same firm also controls White Mills Rye, of which there.,
was made in '89, 1,100 barrels, every gallon of which has alrc^ady
been tax|)aid. There uei^l therefore, be po fear as tojthe'9j7

,, 1,1) TIMIvS, (U,.M)8TONE AND KENTUCKY COMFORT.
Mr t;iiarles Lcminon, the owner of the above three brands,
should b.' givini due recognition by the trade for the conservative
ouli.ut.s he has made during the current season. This can be
l,t«l atl<'.stcd by the statistical exhibit:
or Kentucky Comfort, there was made in '87, 2,100; lu '88,
o 500 and in '90, 4,200, which indicates a steadily increasing
trade for the brand. In '91, Mr. Lemmon reduced the production
to 1 ,9(iO bbls., which is a reduction of 60 per cent, from the former
season, and less than in the two previous seasons.
Of Gladstone, there was made in the current season but 676
bbls., which is less than one-fourth of that made in '90, and every
barrel is sold.
Of Old Times this year had a smaller out-put than m 90,
and every barrel is sold.
When it is considered that all the above three brands have
been 'steadily growing in popularity with steadily increasing con-
sumption, the status commends itself so forcibly as to require no
further emphasizing.
THE A/NAHEIM DISEASE.
Etiielbert Dowlen States that tlje Disease Seen?8 to be Disappearing
in the South.
In response to a letter of inquiry from us Prof. Ethelbert
Dowlen, the expert who investigated tha Anaheim Disease for
the Viticultural Commissionerd, has sent the following statement
of the condition of the vines in the south:
Sajj Gabriel, July 6, 1891.
The present condition of the vineyards in the Los Angeles
. Viticultural district is, on the whole, encouraging. The Anaheim
diseiise has not yet disappeared, it is true, but the proportion of
vines newly affected by the disease ii not so great at present, as
at the corresponding period of last year. In a few vineyards,
the disease has done considerable damage since the last pruning.
Many vines which, in the fall were only slightly diseased and
were in fair condition at the time of pruning, having died duriug
the winter. This is a repetition of what occurred in the winter
of 1889-1890, but this state of things is not general.
The first signs of disease were apparent this year about the
first week in June, and were mostly confined to those vines which
showed signs of sickness last year. The continued cool weather,
and late rains of spring appear to have been of considerable
benefit, enabling the vines to build themselves up before the
hot weather set in, and thus be better able to resist the effects of
excessive heat.
The vines generally started well this year, and made an ex-
ceedingly healthy and vigorous growth, which, up to the present
time, has been maintained. The crop promises to be a good one
though not perhaps up to the mark of last year. The Blaue Elba
and Burger varieties especially promise a heavy crop.
One correspondent writes that, though last year he gathered
eight tons pei"- acre from his Blaue Elba, and ten tons per acre
from bis Burger vines, he expects the crop to be nearly, if not
quite, as large this year as it was la«t; he also sends a good ac-
count of the Mataro, and Trousseau vines.
From San Diego county, also, good reports have come to
hand. In the Sweetwater valley the vines, chiefly Muscats, are
reported as making a very vigorous growth, with prospects of a
good crop. In this county also the disease appears to be gradu-
ally lessening in strength.
Cuttings planted out this year have generally done well,
making even a better growth than those set out last year. Cut-
tings taken from local vineyards have done quite as well as, and
sometimes even better than those obtained from vineyards in the
northern part of the State.
Of course there is plenty of time yet for damage to be done,
but as the vines have had a better start this year, it may happen
that they will be able to maintain their present condition.

that the wubstance contains certain elements of alcohol. It is
not otherwise specially provided for iu the new tariff, but is em-

SPARKLING WINE VINO NEBIOLO (1883).
Before the U. S. General Appraisers at New York, May 6, 1891.
In the matter of the protest, 73i b. of A. Vensano, against the deeirion of the col-
lector of customs ;it San Francisco, Cal., as to the rate and amount of duties
chargeable on certain wine, vino njbiolo, imported per San Bias.
Ojiinion by Wilkinson, General Appraiser.
The merchandise in question is a red wine invoiced and la-
boljid "'Vino Nebiolo." Daty was assessed upon it as a spark-
ling wine at $7 per dozen bottles an 1 3 cents a bottle, under T.
I., 307, act March 3, 1883. Appellants claim that it is a still
wine, and dutiable at only $1.60 per dozen bottles, under T. I.,
308.
The bottles containing the wine are of a character similar to
champagne bottles, with the corks strongly wired down. The
wine effervesces with every movement of the bottle, and when
the wires are cut, the cork pops out, there is a discharge of gas,
and the wine foams.
It is a tparkling wine, and according to expert evidence ta-
ken by the Board, Italian wines of this character are known as
sparkling wines.
The decision of the collector is affirmed.
(11,214.— G. A. 573.)
CORDIALS — PROOF GALLONS.
Before the U. S. General Appraisers at New Y'ork, May 6, 1891.
In the matter of tlie protest, 7752a, of F. H. Stemmler &Co., against the decision of
the collector of customs at New York, as to the rate and amount of duties
chargeable on certain cordials, imported per La Bourfjoyne, November 26, 1890.
Opinion by Shahketts, General Appraiicr.
The importation under consideration, consists of thirteen
cases of cordials in bottles. It is admitted, and we find that the
cordial contained less than 50 per cent, of alcohol. Duty was
assessed upon the merchandise at the rate of $2.50 per wine gal-
lon of measurement, under the provisions of paragraph 332 and
330, act of October 1, 1890.
Rejecting so much of the claim of the protestants as relates
to the constitutionality of the act of October 1, 1890, we turn to
the consideration of their contention concerning the rate of duty
properly applicable to the merchandise under the said act. In
their protest they say:
"We claim said merchandise to be dutiable under the provis-
ions of the act of October 1, 1890, Schedule H, at $2.50 per proof
gallon, and that your assessment of duty is not made upon the
proof gallon; that there was not in each or any of said gallons as
assessed 50 per cent, of alcohol; that one-half of the volume of
said cordial was not alcohol of the specific gravity of .7939 at 60
degrees Fahrenheit, as provided in section 3,249, Revised Stat-
utes."
We do not consider the objections thus raised against the
rate and amount of duty assessed upon the cordial as being based
upon sound principles of law. We hold that so much of section
3249 of the Revised Statutes as conflicts with the provisions of
the act of October 1, 1890, stands repealed. The Treasury De-
partment hiis held as early as 1874 (Synopsis 1849), and since,
that cordials in bottles are liable to duty upon each wine gallon
at the rate provided for each proof gallon when under proof.
The pertinent portions of the several paragiai)hs in the pres-
ent act applicable to the merchandise are as follows:
Par. 330. Eaeh and every gauge or wine gallon of nieasure-
mentb hall be counted as at least one proof gallon.

The cordial in (juestion is of less strength than first proof.

ALCOHOLIC COMPOUNDS FORTIFIED LEMC)N JUICE (1883).
Bjfore the U. S. General Appraisers at New York, May 23,1891.
In the matter of the protest, 999, a, of J. B. Morrell & Co., against the decision
of the Collector of Customs at New York as to tlie rate and amount of duties cliari;e-
abl J on certain lemon juice, imported per Britannic, August !25, 1890.
Opinion by Tichenoe, General Appraiser.
The merchandise in dispute is described in the invoice and
bill of lading as "fortified juice," and was entered as "fruit juice"
containing less than 10 per cent alcohol. It was returned by
the appraiser as "fortified lemon juice, absolute alcohol by volume
7.50 per cent., by weight 5.94 percent." and duty was accordingly
assessed thereon at the rate of $2 per gallon for the alcohol con-
tained and 25 per cent, ad valorem, under the provision in T. I.
103 (act March 3, 1883), for "Alcoholic compounds not otherwiie
specially enumerated or provided for."
The appellants claim (1) that it is entitled to free entry un-
der T. I., 543, which provides for "lemon juice and lime juice,"
or (2) if not free is dutiable at 20 per cent, ad valorem, as "fruit
juice," under T. I., 301, which reads: "Fruits preserved in their
own juices, and fruit juice, 20 per cent, ad valorem."
In the act of 1883, as well as in the new tariff act. Congress
adhered consistently to the policy of imposing high rates of duty
upon spirituous beverages and intoxicating liquors of all kinds.
That it was its purpose to safeguard our system of internal revenue
taxation by levying upon all compounds, preparations, etc., con-
taining alcohol or distilled spirits duties equal to and exceeding
the excise taxes laid on these latter articles, is abundantly manifest
from the numerous provisions (other than T. I., 103), on the sub-
ject in Schedules A and H of the act of 1883, and in the present
act. This purpose is indeed further emphasized by the imposi-
tion in these acts of discriminating rates of duty upon various
articles in the preparation of which alcohol is used, even though
such articles in their complete condition as imported may not
actually contain any of the alcohol thus used.
Juices of the lemon and lime to which 7J per cent, of alcohol
has been added are in fact alcoholic compounds, and are intoxi-
cating beverages.
It is a matter of common knowledge that the simple juice of
the lemon does not contain alcohol, and has been known to com-
merce for many years as "lemon juice." It appears plain to us
that this is the article intended to be made free of duty by T. I.,
543, and by paragraph 631 of the new act, and not such a com-
pound as the article in question, which, according to the invoice
and bill of lading, appears to be known iu the trade as "fortified
juice."
The importers having had notice to submit to the Board
such evidence as they desired in support of their contention. Mr.
Joseph B. Morrell, one of the firm appeared before us on the 17th
ultimo, and, among other things, testified, in effect, as follows:
That lemon juice fortified with spirits was not bought and sold in
this market prior to 1887; that "fortified lemon juice is the sim-
ple juice with the addition of spirits to preserve it in hot climates;
the juice is clarified before being fortified;" that both the plain
juice and the "fortified" article are known as lemon juice; that if
filling au order for a British vessel his firm would furnish the
"fortified juice," but if for an American vessel they would fur-
nish the phiin juice, because it is the cheaper; that in ordering
for themselves from abroad, they ordered "fortified lemon juice,"
as they never imported the plain juice, but if they wanted the
latter, they would simply say "lemon juice."
The Treasury Department decided, under date of July 17,
1888 (Synop.sis 8948), that "fortified lemon juice" containing 7^
per cent, alcohol, claimed to be added for the sole purpose of pre-
venting fermentation, was not the lemon juice of commerce, but
was dutiable under T. I., 103, as au alcohol compound. Con-
gress has sanctioned this decision by providing for the article in
the same terms in the new act as in the old, without extending
the exemption to "fortified juice" or to juice containing a fixed
percentage of alcohol.
We find as matter of fact that the merchandise in question
is not the article provided for as "lemon juice" in T. I., 543, also
that it is not the article provided for as "fruit juice" in T. I. 301,
as alternately claimed by the appellants, and we hold that the
same was correctly assessed for duty at $2 per gallon for the alco*
hoi contained and 25 per cent, ad valorem, under T. I., 103.
The action of the collector is accordingly affirmed.
THEg AT^E A SUGCESS.
The tarifi" debates in the French Chambers brought to the
fore again the question of phylloxera and American vines, which,
it is again admitted, are important agents for the restitution of
vineyards. The Associated Press correspondent having asked
the opinions of eminent specialists concerning the condition of
the vine growing regions, received numerous replies all of which
confirm the statement.
Pasteur says: "I have often heard our wine growers praise
American vines."
Senator Meinadier says: " My department, Gard, was first
invaded by phylloxera. We had 93,000 hectares of vineyards,
of which only one-eight escaped. Today we have about 1000
hectares treated by submersion, about 1000 by insecticidee and
nearly 30,000 planted with American vines."
Dr. Menudier, Vice President of one of the departmental
phylloxera committees, says: "Since 1889 the territory in the de-
partment of lower Charente covered with American vines is nearly
doubled."
In the department of which Marseilles is the capital, the
region planted with American vines is equal to that planted with
French vines.
The Professor of Agriculture in the department of Puy de
Dome writes: "French vines grafted on American stock yields
wine as good as, if not better than, that given by uugrafted
French species."
The report from the famous Burgundy vineyards is most en-
couraging, and shows that the day is rapidly approaching when
that region will stand where it did before the phylloxera inva-
sion. Similar reports have been received from other great wine
districts, and it is now generally an accepted opinion that within
ten years the vintage of France will be greater than ever before,
and not inferior in quality.
Canadian wines, especially those of Pelee Island, are coming
to the front in Canada, and to a large extent replacing the foreign
article. Their greater purity and comparative cheapness have
much to do with this. Pelee Island, the most southern part of
Canada, is situated in Lake Erie, and enjoys great climatic ad-
vantages. Here the Catawba, Isabella and Virginia Seedling
can be thoroughly ripened, an impossibility in other sections of
the Dominion. The first vineyard was e8tabli8he<l in Pelee Is-
land in 1866, and is known as the Vin Villa Vineyard. For the
last seventeen years the entire sale of its wines has been under
the control of the well-known wine firm of J. S. Hamilton & Co.,
Brantfort, Ont. Nine years later they took control of the West
View Vineyard. Three years ago the Pelee Island Wine and
Vineyards Company (Limited) was chartered, with offices and
warehouses at Brantfort, Ont., and wine-house and vineyard at
Pelee Islands. Mr. J. S. Hamilton is President of the company,
and his firm was given the sole agency. This year Messrs. J.
S. Hamilton & Co. took control of the South View Vineyards,
Pelee Island. They also control the Fairfield Plains Vineyards
and St. Malo Vineyards. Tilsonburg. Messi-s. J. S. Hamilton &
Co. stand at the head of the trade in Canada, and will make an
extensive exhibit at the Jamaica Exhibition in Januarj , 1891.

ELECT-Rie T-REATI/NG OF WI/NES.
The experiments which were undertaken recently by the
Viticultural Commissioners to test the vahie of the treatment of
wines with alternating electric currents, are being pursued to a
satisfactory conclusion. One of the principal difficulties is that
the facilities for making such experiments are crude, but results
have been obtained which demonstrate that the treatment is of
benefit in certain cases. Mr. William C. Spencer who is making
these experiments, has extended them to brandy and one sample
of brandy which he treated showed such a remarkable improve-
ment as to surprise Mr. Charles A . Wetmore and others in the
business.
The treatment is receiving much attention abroad. Ridley's
Wine and Spirit Trade Circular for June, says as follows concern-
ing it:
Under the direction of the Minister of Agriculture certain
experiments have been made in Algeria, which are more or less
interesting. The object in view has been the destruction of such
therms of an obnoxious chara<!ter as fnay be contained in wine,
and to achieve this desired end a rapid su(;c«SHion of electric
shocks have been applied to a large number of different wines in
bulk. These operations have been carried on for a period of
tlirec years, and the Conimission appointed to conduct an enquire
lias now issued its report. The substance of the latter is to the
following effect: "All the wines treated are now in a good state
of preservation, and have the aspect of wine in fine condition,
whilst the wines not treated are more or less altered, and are in
a condition that does not admit of their being delivered for con-
sumption. Tlie wines which had begun to be pricked before
treatment have remained stationary since. The malady seems
to be arrested, while the same wines not treated have continued
to turn sour; the malady having been progressive. The electric
treatment has not communicated any particular flavor to the
wines, but, on the contrary, the quality has been improved, be-
cause they have begun to mature. A chemical analysis of the
wines treated and not treated shows that the nature of the wine
electrified remains unaltered, and that the parasites which are
dead in the wines treated, are still vital in the wines not treated."
The above results are remarkable, but as to their value we
are as yet in no position to speak. We hear freciuently now-a-
days of such marvellous inventions, which are ultimately found
to succeed, that it would be rash to predict failure — especially
in the face of the Committee's report — of this new electrical
wine cure, but still we must know more about it before we can
speak in its favor. As regards costs, it is stated that a dynamo
machine driven by an engine of five or six horse-power, will
suffice to produce an alternative current, communicating from
12,000 to 15,000 shocks a minute to the liquid, and will enable
200 gallons per hour to be electrified.

The annual beer product of the world is about 17,700,000-
000 quarts. The contributions of the greatest beer producing
countries to this total are substantially as follows:
When wandering one evening toward the Villa di Tiberio I
stumbled on a curious scene. A mother sat on a wall by the
roadside with her infant in her arms, while the father, a strap-
ping young farmer, poured wine from a black bottle down the
eager throat of the baby. My remonstrances were met by a
smile at my ignorance and the assertion that there was nothing
better that wine for it. Oh my return I found the boy partaking
of its natural food as heartily as it had done from the wine bottle.
"That", I said to the mother, "is the proper drink for your child.
You will lay up misery for it if you exchange it for wine." "Do
you think so, Signer?" she replied, and, showing me the legs and
cheeks of the fattest young rascal I ever saw, she added,. "Does
that look like disease? Can you find in your country a baby of
six months to equal him. On mentioning the incident to an old
man at the hotel, he assured me that it was quite the usual prac-
tice in Capri, and on the same evening pointing to his son, a
handsome young fellow who was dancing the tarantella, he said:
"Had that lad not got wine from the time he was four months old
he would not have been here to-night. It saved his life. — Oood

f>fkeif\e WIJ^E /cJ^P Sflf^lT REVIEW.
A CHOICE SPECIME/S.
Every now ami then we <-<)nie iwnies a clioico Hpeciineu o
Prohibition nittle-tnip in the eolumiis of our estoenietl eonteni
porarie.<. the i^.l<l water i)re».. The hU<-st choice bit comes from'
B. F. Tavlor, who 8tyl<w himself a "Minister of the Gospel oi
JeAUS fhriHt." It is mich a refresliiiiff. ehanning selection that
we would fain giv.< it a larg.> <ircuhition. In the courwe of an
opun adilr»>w to l'rtwi<lent Harrison, regarding the latter's CaJi-
r»n>ia trip, the reverend gentleman says:
But therein asiulnexs, a fearful curse r^^ting on our fair land
tthat han Iuhmi hidtlen from yon. Yon have not seen that frail
womin plying her niH«dle. or toiling over a washtub to supjwrt
her fiimily and a drunken husband. You iiave not seen the
squalor, and wretehe<lne8s, where a whole family was lying oa
th:« floor in a state of bt«.stly intoxication, caused by California
wine. You have not seen those low dives of vice and iniquity,
that would make the very blo<Kl curdle. You have not seen the
a«iylum.<«. refo.-m st-hools, jails and State prisons where hundreds
of our young mea and even boys, and girls are confined, brought
the influence of intoxicating drink. You have not seen the
thousands that pour out of our large cities on the Sabbath day,
and make the verj- air hideous with their i)rofanity and drunken
deliaueher}-, even endangering, and in some cases taking the life
of peaceable people. You have not seen the inebriate lying in
gutter with the blood gushing from his wounds. You have not
seen that woman rushing from her house envelope<l in a flame
of fire, her garments saturated with coal oil by a drunken fiend,
railed a husliand. Tliese and worse things, if possible, exist, but
they have been concejiled from you. They exist, in a great
meanure. Ix-cause of the U8«» of intoxicating drinks.
In all your spewhes what have you siiid to counteract this
influence, or to encourage those who are laboring to turn back
this fearful current that is sweeping .so many of our young men
and worn m down to ruin? From a natural, or an acquired love
for intoxicating liquors, or from an unwillingness to face the
criticiam of those addicted to a vicious social custom, upheld by
the worst els'ments of society, your influence, on this coast, has
been in favor of wine drinking; in favor of sustaining and per-
petuating a heAthen social custom that has existed, at least, from
that fatal night the King of Babylon, with his lords and ladies
drank wine from the golden ves.sels taken from the house of God
at Jerusalem, and that mysterious hand wrote on the walls of
tha royal palace, "Tekel," down to the last Presidential banquet
in Ban Francisco.
How many of those beautiful, and now innocent children
whdgreeted you with songs and flowers, will, by trying to follow
the example of a Christian President of the United States in the
moderate use of wine, but not having his firmness, will ultimately
sink into a drunkard's grave and a drunkard's hell? Your ex-
ample, which should have been a benediction to all lovers of pur-
ity and sobriety, has been a cause of sadness and deep sorrow to
those who are laboring for the suppression of intemperance, and
for the elevation of humanity.
If E<litor Sheahan wants his .367 voters in San P'rancisco to
become influential, he will have to shut down on such rubbish as
this. The Prohibition editors of the East who do not have a vit-
icultural industry with its sober men confronting them when
they utter such rubbish, t^an i>oint to the awful horrors that fol-
low theoretical wine drinking. But as long as the wine industry
exints, it stands a fitting rebuke and answer to such outcries.
We can answer the Rev.'B. F. Taylor as well as the Presi-
dent can in this instance. President Harrison did not see any
of the dreadful s<!ene« painted by the gentlemen; neither has the
Key. B. F. Taylor.

easily oiH-ralcd and separates the alde-
hyde and other infeiior oils and makes t
pure and liiirh cla«s brandy, and reduces
the cost fully ninety per cent in
labor and fuel. It requires very little or

This cut represents the latest improvement in continuous stills, and a glance at
the construction of it in comparison wiihany otherstiU manufactured, will convince
any practical distiller of its immense superiority overall others. I claim the follow-
ing jMiints of superiority: 1st. The amount of heat in my still is only two per cent,
thus affecting an enormous saving in steam and fuel. 2d. Distilling double amount
of any other still. 3d. Facility of handling and regulating. 4th. Simplicity of con-
tsruction.

BUSINESS SUCCESS,
yon have a line of goods, or a sijecialty, possessing quality and merit
IT PAYS TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW IT.
Every business man wiio consults his health and success in business must eat,
and not only eat regularly, but must eat such food as will be readily digested, with
such surroundings as will make his meal not only
A BUSINESS MATTER OF NECESSITY
but a pleasurable digression from business care.
When such a meal can be obtained at a trilling expense, and be productive fo
happiness and renewed, if not increased energy, a business man is foolish indeed to
not embrace the prospective opportunity.
Such a meal can be obtained, and the above described results attained by taking
a lunch with us, between the hours of 11 a. m. and 2:30 P. M. We serve a six course
lunch for 50 cents.
In the evening we serve, from 4:30 to 8:30 p. M., an eight-course dinner for
75 cents
Besides our service a la carte receives prompt attention, and our i-estauiant is
most elegantly furnished.
Referringfo our experience, both in the Old and New World, as rcstauranteurs,
with the fact that the cuisine and dining room is under our dii°ect and eouliunal
sui)ei vision, we guarantee the best satisfaction.
Being confident that we can please you in the smallest particulars, we respect-
fully solicit your patronage.
