Sir W V Harcourt on the Beer Bill.

When the Beer Bill was before the JHouse of Commons recently, Sir W Harcourt congratulated the House on the novol character of the d bar p. They h«d bad the advantage of itifor. mation from the mrmber who knew naoit abr-nt the subject. He had to!d th<-m much that was interesting. He had gi?ea the House a warning as to how to deal with th-i matter, and he had pointed out fche interesting fact which waa unknown before that the Manchester arsenical poisoning was an indirect nons>qaenoo of the South African war. (Qre»t lauo;bte-) All th« sulphur m the world was consumed there, and there wna nothing elt>e to hope for until a freah eruption of .. Vesuvius (Laughter) It was always one of the most r.!nerfal incidents of the Pufliarnentp-iy Session to discuss a. Pure Beer ?MU — (laughter—which j used to be introduced by the hon member (Sir Outhbert Qailter) with that genial joviality which added an ornament to his eloquence. Best today there was a tone of depression The adjective had disappeared. There w*s no profession that this Bill was in tended to secure purity. The hon member who just addressed them had its.lied beer m those very schools m ■will ;h they .jail began-—ln the TJniver sitl©). (Laughter) These Univerei t 6i prided themselves more or less on c'muics or mathematics, but above all, ca the superiority of their beer. (Laughter) He (^ir W Harcoari)spoke as member of n. college which brewed the ' audit ale,' (Laughter) He did not know that that was a scientific brew, bat certainly its coosfquences were, as the hon member had said, mare cheer ful at the mr-nvant than later on. (laughter ) The country had asked for a Pure Baer Bill, but that was just what they had not got" Therefore he c m\i no no longer Biiute Sir C Quilter as the true 'Simon pure.' (Laughter,) He was an altered m»n. (Laughter). They were accustomed to a charming literary discourse on the origin «nd history of beer. Today the hon member did not go farther back than Egypt, (Laughter) He quoted Herodotus, He was surprised to hear tke hoo mem ber call Herodotus a moßt truthful historian. In that respect the hon member differed from tha poet Javenal, who described him as the moßfc snda cious liar of history. (Load Laughter.) The hon member appealed to them that day m the nsme of tha county of Buck ingham and of Hampden. Why did he not appeal to them m the name of Cromwell, who was supposed to have a close connection with the biewing trade, He (Sir Will'am) indeed imagined it was rather m that capacity th*t his statue whs allowed to be erected even outside the House of Commons (Loud laughter.) The hon member for Bat tersea bad been referred to as having won a victory, at which they all roj^icad on the basis of purity. The hon mem rer, it was said, h&d become the ori flamme of purify. Yes, bat what become of the oriflamme of purify now ? He was no longer a pun? beer man. He ' was a beer man. (Laughter ) As hsp- ; pened to man* men, the hon member for iMidbury had got Into b<d company. He had gone into partnership with the member for Sieaford (Mr Chaplin), (Laughter), He could uaderstand that coalition; It was like a famenq coali tion of old, and, if he might borrow an Image from Mr Pitt, he would say be- ! fore tbia ill om'ned alliance was con- i summated, ' In the name of Pure Beer j I forbid the banns.' (Loud Liughier). He could well understand rfae basis of the alliance. His hon. friend was a Bi so pie minded and innocent man, His parity wag. undoubted until he met with the aeducer. (Renewed merri men]). He went to the member for Sieaford, or the member for Slraford went to him, and said, ' Oh, Purity? Look, that's all nonsense—(Laughter) j what we want ia a beer market, 1 The member for Kudbury unfortunately succumbed, and struck • pare * out of j Ibis Bill, and tb.3 puri'y t,f tie style j waa not what it used to be, (Laugh- j ter). Bat the question was, supposing the object was to promo* c consumption of malt, and so advance the price of barley, would it really have that effect ? Before committing a crime it was worth while to consider whether it, would be profitable. He doubted whether the landed interest were going to get as muoh out of this Bill as they expected. (Hear, hear) What thpy expected waa fo have an increased con snmption of barley He dared say there would be, brt if; was oot go cer tain that it- would be an increased coo snmption of their barley. (Hear, hear) The landed interest had always been Bomewhafe defective'ln knowledge of their own interests. They hid for a ' long time desired the abolition of the malt tax, and now they found that its repeal had worked them great mischijf. It might possibly hap pen again _ m the caaa of this attempt to increase the price of barley, .It might raise the price of the best sorts of barley, but that was not the majority of the barley of this country. How would it effect the lower classes of barley? He was told on good authority that if the Bill were passed it would be better worth the while of the brswers, if they were to use barley alone, to take foreign barley rather than these second and third rate bar leys. Then, again, it was pretended that thia measure would enable people to order just what kind of beer they liked. That was not so. The thing; that prevented people getting the beer they wanted was the ti^d-house system, (Opposition cheers.) All people did j not like strong m>*lt beets, Many of their own friends liked to drink Pil sener beer, and he was told that there was a great consumption of it m the Horase. (Laughter ) That led him to inquire what Pilaener beer was, and he consulted his hon friend, the member for Sudbaryj. He asked him if he could order Pilsener beer from any public-hooBQ, «'Oh no," ;>aa the an swer. "It is made of rice;" But if the public ■ taste was tending m the direction of beer made from rice, what waa the value of OUuae 8, which would only allow'oftft to-order pore malt be* r? Ho suggested the addition of the word 'rice/ The Bill was » great disappoint ment to him, and he regretted that the member for Sudhnry should have h'-uled down the. flag which for so many yenr« had'- with tood the battle aod the breeze..
