Prohibition Agitation Responsible,
Shown by Big Oregon Hop Grower
B u sin ess Generally Stagnated by R eason of
Fanatical Campaign—O rders Are Few
Pending Election R esults
The following letter has been received from Mr. C. A. McLaughlin, one of the largest
hop growers of the State of Oregon, and who has suffered with others through the present
condition o f the hop market.
His letter is most instructive at this time and we herewith submit it to you for your
consideration.
Yours very truly,

Gentlemen :—
I have been greatly interested in the view held bj a few of my neighbor hop farmers
on the present price o f hops. I have heard a number o f them blaming dealers, short sellers,
and manufacturers, giving reasons entirely wild and far from the real cause.
I think the Hop Growers’ & Dealers’ Association should send out a letter to the hop
growers showing them the facts in contradiction to the malicious misrepresentations o f those
directing the campaign for the prohibitionists. They would have us believe that conniving
dealers and manufacturers or the war are responsible, thereby hoping to cause discontent
among the members o f the organization.
As in every other case, the prohibitionists are holding up the "effect” instead of the
"cause.” I hope you will see the truth after reasoning out present market conditions and
resultant prices.
*
At present, prohibition agitation is being spread in California, Washington, Oregon,
Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, Texas, Virginia, Ohio and several other states. In other words
the manufacturers in those states cannot be expected to place orders for hops until the prohi
bition question is settled after elections are held. Manufacturers who also ship into these
states cannot be expected to buy hops until the same question is settled, for these states rep- *
resent 20 to 25 per cent o f their market.
From these statements of logical facts, the hop farmer should be able to place the blame
where it belongs, on the everlasting agitating prohibition “ reformer” whose record has al
ways reflected unrest and a general cheapening of everything everywhere.
The prohibition agitators are responsible for the low price o f hops. They agitate in
other states, shutting down industrial progress until they have been rejected at the polls.
Business in general comes to a standstill before elections. Normal conditions are rendered
abnormal. Yet they say prohibition in Oregon will not injure the future of the hop industry.
Misrepresentation, playing upon known sympathies and fanaticism will continue to
cause discontent, business unrest, galloping taxes and a ruined Oregon industry, unless the
voters arise in their might and crush these "reformers” by voting 333 X No on November
3rd.
