To the Honorable the Senate and

XJni'ted States, in Congress. A
ssembled. ‘ ' 1 ,
The Memorial' of the ‘ unciorsigneffi
Brewers or the United States' of Arteri
es, respectfully represents: .:i
That'by the 50th.Section. of-the.-Act of
Congress entitled an Act to provide In
ternal Revenue to support the Coyer n
ment and pay interest on the pubife
debt, approved the Ist-’of July 1809 a
duty on one dollar was imposed on each
and every(barrel, containing nqt more
than tmrtynne gallons ofTieer, laier
beer, ale, porter and oihCr similar fer
mentedliqnors. (IStatutesat harge 1862'
page 450.) That by ,tbe -JSth Section o'f
an amendment to the said Act, approv
ed the 3d of March, 18G3, ‘it was pro
vided that from arid 'after the passage
thereof , till the Ist of April, 1804,' t here
shall be paid on all beer, lager beer, aid i
porter and other similar fermented li
quors, by whatever names such liquors
may be called, a duty of onlv sixty cents
for each and every Darrel," containing
not more than thirty-one gallons, and a
like rate for any other quantity or frac
tional parts of a' barrel. (Stat at
Large, 1863, p. 723.
Your memorialists further represent
that a recommendation has been made
to your Honorable Bodies by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, to in
crease the duty on fermented malt bev
erages,. by imposing a- duty on malt in
lieu thereof, or iq addition thereto.. .. ■ j
While your memorialists are prepared
to acquiesce in whatever measures your
Honorable Bodies may find it necessary
to adopt, for the purpose of : increasing
the Public Revenue and sustaining the
credit and authority of the Government,
they consider it no. less a duty to you
than to themselves, to remonstrate
against the measure proposed, as one
that will impose upon the i branch of
manufactures fat which they aie engaged
a grieyious andjoppre'ssive' bnrthenthat
mu&t inevitably destroy it.
The difficulties your m emorialists' en
countered in ihe prosecution of their
business during the last two years, led
them to seek information respec ting the
policy of Other countries, in the imposi
tion of duties on beverages used by 1 the
'people. Believing as they.do that the
result of their inquiries and experience
may not be unacceptable to your Hon
orable Bodies, and that it may possibly’'
serve as a guide to proper and juablegla
lation on the subject, your memorialists
respectfully submit .the sange to your
consideration, in Support of the prayer
of this memorial, for a reduction of the
duties on fermented malt beverages im
posed by existißg-law.a.

pays $59,440,189 of the-annual-interest
on this enormous deht. Malt-- and Su
gar used in brewing beer pay $27,29L,

consumed pay $5,912,833 annually:' ' "
It has been satisfactorily ascertained
in England, that distilled spirits will'
bear a rate of duty, yjbich,if imposed on
fermented liquors or other beyexuges
would prevent the manufacture of them
entirely. The duty of BritiSlf Spirits- at
the beginning of the present century,
was five shillings. Jour . and one-half
penee per gallon, ft has. fluctuated
since then, being sbntSthnfes'less, Tint is
now fixed at ten shillings,- or $2,22" per
gallon. Notwithstanding this high rate
of duty, the quantity, manufactured and
entered for consumption, has been hut
slightly diminished, aird the revenue de
rived from it for the- year ending in
March, 1863, amounted to $41,650,000,-
cxi-lusive ofiicenaes.
In striking contrast with the last men
tioned-ftict, is the effett of high' duties
on fermented drinks. In 1707, English
duties on malt and beer were introduced
into Scotland, which then contained ..a,
population 6f one niillionj and a duty of
two shillings three pence per barrel of
thirty-six gallons, -was imposed- on two
penny bper, the favorite beverage of the
people. For many years afterwards the
quantity of this beer that paid duty av
eraged 450,600 barrels, rather less than a
barrel to every two -person's. The'dbty
was subsequently _increased .to.- three
shillings four pence pec barrel, when. (he
consumption immediately fell off .100 -
000 barrels, and continueclio decline un
til its manufacture cessed etrtlrely. And
at the present time, out of 38,609 persons
in the United Kingdom who brew beer
for sale, 231 only are found in Scotland.
The most unhappy result of this ex
cessive taxation of a harmless and'pop
ular beverage, was the substitution- of
whisky or spirits. In no part of the
world has drunkenness been so preva
lent as in Scotland, and intemperance
and nnchastity continue to be the chief
vices of the people, - ~;_c.
For the year ending . ip March 1863,
the quantity of British distilled spirits
entered for consumption in Scotmnd,
was 6,189,356 gallons, among a popula
tion of 3,002,294, beiDg more than two
gallons for every man, woman and child
in the country. The effect of a high
duty on a cheap and wholesome bever
age, is thus shown to be the very oppo
site of that produced upon distilled
spirits.
From 1801 until 1859,'the duty impos
ed by Great Britain on- foreign wines,"
was not less than five shillings 9 pence:
per gallon, except on the Portugese and-
Cape wines.
In 1801, the quantity entered for
home consumption, was 7,000,000 gal
lons, and althongh in 1850, the popula
tion had nearly doubled, the quantity
then entered was proportionately less
than in 1801: But in 1859 the duty was
reduced to three shillings, and after
wards to two shillings, and to one shil
ling per gallon, according to its
strength, and the result was that, in
1883 the quantity imported, consumed
and charged with duty,.Tose to 10,787-
171 gallons being an increase of nearly
fifty, per cent.
The duties on fermented malt liquors
have varied considerably in Greirßri
tain, during the last sixty years.
For the first l»alf of that period .duties
were imposed on both malt and .beer,
and also upon hops, in 1830, the duty
on beer was 1 repealed. In 1862, the
duty on hops was repealed, aha Brew
er's licenses increased to 3d per barrel..
In 1804, the duty on malt was fixed at
4 shillings of pence per bushel. It was
reduced from time to-time til! 1823, when
it was fixed at 2s. 7<t In 1854, at -the
