Mr. Wotmero in his letter says : "If the bill pase3, the wine makers cau use grape spirits us cheaply as (tralu spirits and will conso censo conse quoutly preler the former. It will alae re meve thu prohibition agalust exportation and our producers will be able te en ter into com petition with foreign couutrles whose ex perted products are untaxed. There will be also leas competition between California brandy and pure whisky from Kentucky. Fer this latter reason the Kentucky distillers favor the bill, whereas the Ohie and Illinois distillers oppeso it, as it will tend te diminish their market."
