The National Brewers’ Association recon- vened at Germania Hall this morning @ 10 o’clock.

The following reported: Eugene Hack, Vincennes, Ind.; Schlanderman, Decatur, Ill.; Frank Fehr, Louisville, and Henry Penk, Louisville. ATTORNEY’S REPORT. Mr. Louis Schade presented his report for the year. It simply deals with legal affairs touching the manufacture and sale of malt liquors, and while quite valuable, it would not be of interest to the general reader. The following concluding paragraphs may, how- ver, be appropriately quoted: On the 16th of May, Mr. Frve, of Maine, of the Committee on Rules, lowing report in the House: ** Resolved, That a committee of nine mem- bers be appointed by the Speaker, to whom shall be referred all petitions, memorials, bills and resolutions touching the ‘alcoholic trafic,’ a commission on the same, any amendments to the Constitution limiting or controlling the importation, manufacture or sale of the same, -whose duty it shail be to eonsider and report thereupon. ’’ This resolution differs from the one hereto- additional delegates were fore reported and passed at different times by | the Senate, inasinuch as the Commission is to be composed of nine members of the House, by the Speaker, whilst the Senate bil! proposed the appointment of five | citizéns by the President. was adopted by a members not vot- Of the 128 voting for it, 19 were Demo- Or Mr. Frvye’s resolution ocrats. In conclusion, it is but proper to state that | affairs | in the many cases relating to brewers’ which during last year have compelled me to visit the Internal Revenue Department, I have at all fimes found the Commissioner Internal Reyenuc, General George B.

GREEN B, RAUM, Convention: I appear before you on this occasionin re- ’ however, that it is not my inten- tion to delay the proceedings under your pro- gramme by inflicting upon you a lengthy speech. Your mectings for the transaction of business are so supplemented with sight-sce- arranged by the local committees, that it would be pre- | Jength. ee ee - I observe that thia is your nineteenth annua! convention; itis evident that your organiza- tion has great vitality, meetings are to be judged of by the present one, | apprehend that the brewers of the | convyen- | United Statcs will have their annual tions for business aud for pleas- ure aS long as malt liquors form a staple beverage of the country. Aud if you are alwaus able to present as | splendid a pageant as was witnessed by 20.000 people at Schnaider’s Garden last night, your convention will be welcomed by hundreds of | | thousands of people in every city throughout | our country. The Government of the United States has | found it necessary to levy taxes upon the pro- | duet | reliance of of your breweries and upon its manufacture and sale—more than $ 10,000,000 | are realized to the public treasury from there source, and *Il deemit a auty and a plea- sur to bear witness that your association at all times manifest, its desire to aid the Govern- ment in its efforts to collect its revenue,and to | have the laws and regulations duly observed | and emforced. I learn that your convention has discussed the subject of the preparation of beer stamps, with a view to have them adhere more firmly to the packages. This is a matter of great interest to the Gov- ernment and all honest manufacturers and deaiers. It is helieved that the reuse of stamps is the main those who wish to defraud the Government of its taxes on malt liquors and it therefore becomes a matter of great 1portance to adopt such means and methods for securing the stamps upon the packages as will prevent their re-use. This subject I com- mend to your earnest consideration, and I will be glad to receive and consider officially any suggestions you may have to make in re- gard to it. While American manufacturers in gen- eral have been successful in - introduc- ing their manufactures in foreign countries. the brewers of the United States, unwilling to be left behind in this regard. have pushed their business with such energy that Ameri- can malt liquors are now successfully ex- ported to England, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia,and to the islands of the seas, and the people of Germany have opened their eyes to behold that American genius has gone so faras to even improve upon the national drink of the Fatherland. Mr. President and gentlemen, I thank you for your attention. I trust that you will en- joy the further proceedings and festivities of your meeting, and, when you shall have adjourned, that you will have a safe return to your homes and families. PRESENTATION TO PRESIDENT RUETER. At theconclusion of Gen. Raum’s speech, Mr. Wm. J. Lemp stepped on to the plat- form and read the following address to Mr. Rueter: Mr. PRESIDENT—I am deputed to repre- sent before you at this vime each individual member of the influential and beneficial asso- ciation over which you have long and worthily presided—the United States Brewers’ Associ- ation. I say influential, because I kaow of no branch of business employing so large an amount of capital and labor that exercises similar power upon the industry, agricul- ture, commerce and general welfare of this great country as this association represents. And I sav beneficial, because by united ef- fort it protects our time-honored calling from adminisirative and executive encroachments in tts relations with the4iovernment: it resists all attacks on the part of envieus or prejudi- cial self-etvled philanthropists: it corrects ail errors prevalent inthe public mind, the offspring of ignorance, and it repels all at- trcks upon fits honesty and integrity prompted and propageted J pirit.

Sir. from the first hour you became asso- ciated with us in our work, and again, from the first time when, in the year 1875, in the city of Cincinnati, you were called upon to preside over our. annual convention, and to supervise our executive action, you have been held by us in the highest esteem. Words would fail us, as practical men, were we to attempt to convey to you a tithe of our feelings to you as a President, as a gentle- man, a8 amember of our association, and as a noble representative of our ancient profes- sion. Actions speak louder than words. And, sir, you may remember when it was once intimated that we were likely to lose your valuable aid and presence at our annual meetings, the deep solemnity of regret that was then spontane- ously expressed by every one present, not in mere words, but even in tears. As a gentle- man, your unvarying courtesy and natural urbanity of demeanor have won all hearts and are appreciated and reciprocated by each one of us. As a member of our association we feel honored and do honor you; and as a representative of the brewing industry of the United States, our own profession, we hold you second to none. Sir, I cansay no more, but beg you to ullow me to present to yuu as a collective con- tribution of each member of this association this piece of silver plate. It is an epergne, artistically and emblematically designed to represent an honorable and ancient craft, to ornament your home, to grace your festive board and to remind youin your hap- piest hours of our friendship and esteem, and of labor nobly performed. The inscription we have placed upon it reads thus: Presented to Our Worthy President, Henry H. Rueter, HWsy., of Boston. Mass.. By the members of The United States Brewers’ Association, As a token of Individual Respect and Estcem, and in Recognition of Eminent Services Rendered the Brewing Industry. Nineteenth Annus! Convention, St. Missouri. [Great applause. | MR. RUETER RESPONDED ina very feeling little speech. He was so overcome that he could hardly give expression to his thoughts, but the words he chose with which to return his thanks were chaste and elegant. ruk TESTIMONIAL. Mr. Reuter was elected president of the United States Brewers’ Association, at the convention held in Cincinnati, Ohio, in June, 1875, by acclamation. And the singular abili- ty he has displayed in the discharge of that office has merited the gratitude and esteem, not only of the association, but also of the en- tire brewing community of the United States. To enumerate his eminent services would be impossible, extending, as they do, over four yeats of solid labor, during which period the United States has witnessed, through his exertions, an exhibition, unique in the world’s history, at the Centennial, held in Philadelphia, of a collective display of the matcrials, appliances, and methods of wsing them connected with the brewing industry; and the assoeiation has been renewed and Louis. stitution, anda charter of incorporation. Mr. | Rueter has presided over the annual convyen- tions held in the cities of Cincinnati, Ohio; Balti- more,Md..and St.Louis, Mo. The individual members of the United States Brewers’ Asso- ciation, honoring and esteeming him for his exemplary disinterestednuess, and unceasing activity in their cause, have thonzht preper, at the St. Louis Convention, June, 1879, to pendency abroad. present to him, as a slight testimonial of their | appreciation, a piece of silver plate in the form of an epergne, symbolizing the craft, and bearing mottoes appropriate to the man, , and the estimate in Which they hold his char- acter and services. The testimonial is very elegant, and manu- factured especially by the Whiting Manufac- | turing Company, of New York, upon whose | demands of the | attention artistic taste and industrial skill it reflects the | highest credit. The base of the epergne isa profiled triangle | | resting on three heavy wreaths of fir twigs, to each of which is attached an heraldic shield. These signify the honor in whieh the craft is ee ~ * escorted into the large hall by Mr.f{Johu Wahl, the president, and Mr. George Morgan, the secretary. The ‘*barley corner,’’ in close contiguity to the Secretary’s oflice,apparently was the center of attraction, as the brewers in a body, as if with one accord, marehed thither. After remaining in the ‘‘barley ecorner’’ some moments, the visitors bruke up into groups, walked about and chatted with the merchants, and there was a general handshaking and in- troducing. Some half a dozen ladies enlivened the secne, and, seated on chairs in close proximity to the Presidential dais, viewed the proceed- ings with lively interest. At12:30 President Wahl rapped with his gavel, called the mer- chants to order and spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Exchange and Fellow- Merchants: Ishall have to ask you to please try and keep a little more quiet. We have the honor to-day of being visited by some distin- guished visitors. Mr. Lemp, gentlemen, Vice-President. Mr. Wm. J. Lemp came forward and said: ‘‘Mr. President and Members vf the Mer- chants’ Exchasge: In behalf of the United States Brewers’ Association, whose members have xssembied in our city to hold their nine- teenth annual convention, it now becomes my pleasant duty to thank you most sincerely for the kind invitation you extended us to visit your Chamber of Commerce, and in proof of how keenly alive we are to all inter- ests pertaining to commerce and the desire to promote the kind feelings existing between us as merchants and manufacturers, and also to manifest our true appreciations of the kind invitation we came here in a body. And now, Mr. President and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you -our worthy and es- teemed President of the United States Brew- ers’ Association, Mr. Heury Rueter. President Rueter advanced to the front of the platform and said: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Mer- chants Exchange:To the general expression of thanks which we have just heard from vour fellow citizen Mr. Lemp, I will add the special thanks of the visiting delegates for vour kind invitation to visit the room and for the cordial reception given us. I wish at the same time here publicly to acknowledge the generous hospitality thut we have found in the city of St. Louis,and I assure you, gen- tlemen, that we are grateful, bighly grateful for the same. At the sume time, genticmen, I wish to express our thanks to the press, who ‘ame to bring our proceedings before the pub- li oe SE -—— tc. We are well aware of the fact, gentlemen, that with the sympathy of such men as I sce here assembled, and with the assistance of the press, such AS has been ren- dered us here to-day, our effort to secure a true understanding of the brewing trade on the part of the public and to secure a recognized position among the in- dustries of the land must eventually be suc- cessful. We are also awaic, gentlemen, that we are not so modest as not see that the brewers have a just and valid claim upon the good will of the public, and upon the sympathies of the commerce of the community. ‘The brewing trade has be- come a great and important branch of indus- try, employing large capital and many hands. It cannot be denied that the brewing trade is of benefit to all mechanical trades. I can only point out the growth for in- stance of hop culture as stimulated by our business. From a state of ile- we have grown to be exporters of hops, and with the wonderful resources of this country we wi'l be able to supply a large share of the hops to be used It is the same with the bderley State after State contributed to the brewer’s mash tub and I hope also contributed to the enjoyment and welfare ofthe people generally. I cannot step down without paying special to the brewers of St. Louis and their enterprise. From n local trade they have succeeded in making the brewing business a famous iadus- trv with all the attributes atthe same time of commerce. Their product supplies the mar- ket far and near. I assure you we brewers appreciate that, and the visit to your establishments cannot fail to fill us culture. | all witha feeling of pride and a fecling of held; the wreaths symbolizing the former use | | of tir twigs instead of hops.

The gnome holds a faucet in his hands, whichingenious invention he is intent- ly regarding—he represents the cellarman. The artist who designed the work is Mr. Chas. Witteck. The committee on RESOLUTIONS then made the following report: WHEREAS, The advocates of prohibition con- tinue to wage an indiscriminate war against the manufacture, sale and consumption otali alcoholic beyerages—distilled and fermented; and, WHEREAS, Any law imposing the same re- striction or prohibition on both classes of drinks will be found tooperate against fermented malt beverages, which are bul*y and perishable, much more harshly than against distilled li- quors, which readily evadethe law, because neither bulky nor perishable; and, WHEREAS, It is a fact, established by gencral experience, that, by the popular use of fer mented malt beverages in place of distilled liquors, the cause of temperance is advanced; therefore be it Resolved, That the members of this associa- tion makeevery effort, individually and joint- ly, to disprove and repel the unfounded and malignant accusations of the so-called tem- perance reformsers, and to disabuse the public mind of all misconception regarding the popular use of termented malt beverages. And be it further Resolved, That the members of this associa- tion use every means ia their pewer, especially by the support of proper candidates tor repre- sentatives only, to secure a just discrimina- tion between distilled and fermented liquors, in the legislative enactments ot theirrespective States. WHEREAS, The usetulness and general bene- ficial influence of the United States Brewers’ Association must be admitted, and its records give evidence that dangers, which have from time to time threatened the brewing industry of thiscountry, have, by its united efforts and > eoncerted action , been averted ; and, WHEREAS, The near future may bring issues gravely affecting the welfare of the brewing business of this country, requiring united — and strenuous exertion—theretore be t Resoived, Thatit isthe duty ofevery member of this association, by persistent personal effort, to extend its membership and influence as far as possible, and that itis a matter of duty and self-interest for every one, directly or indi- rectly connected with the brewing trade, to join its ranks ,and to labor for the advancement of its aims and objects. .
