Over 200 jdele-1 gates are present, representing nearly every State in the Union and estimated capital of $500,000,000. Albert Lieber, on behalf of the Indianapolis brewers, welcomed the delegates. He said; "Considering that the use of fermented beverages is as old as mankind; that fermented decoctions of cereals have been popular among the Teutonic nations for thousands of years, and that the preservation of a custom or habit through all the stages of development and progress of a nation from barbarism to civilization permits the conclusion that such custom or habit satisfies an actual need or irrepressible desire, so that its eradication is impossible; indeed, I am of the opinion that we are entitled to thanks for the perfection of the art of brewing, and that there would be more wisdom and practical prudence In legislation favoring the popularization of beer than in legislation dictated by the unjustified prejudices of the over-zealous temperance advocates. "The production of beer In the United States has grown from a little over 6,000,000 barrels in 1870 to probably more than 50,000,000 barrels in the present year. It has grown nearly four times as fast as the population.

If we w-ere not furnishing the people a good, pure and healthy product, this remarkable Increase would have been Impossible." Mayor Bookwalter delivered a brief address of welcome.
