Later he fouu?ht several rrear a a. a sr a a sri a . a aa . naval duels against the combined Lngush and rrench tlects,and while his victories were not decisive, he won tor tioiiand undying glory. The great de Ruyter abhorred tyranny of every kind, just as do the Hollanders of today. When prohibitory enactments are . proposed to three of the blood of Holland they vote to a man against it.They are wherever found unalterably opposed to any legis lation which VsXuld make the many sutler for die rauUs of a tew. Hollanders know that there is no evil in the barley brews and light wines of their fathers EVIL ONIY IS IN THE MAN WHO MISUSES THEM. In America we have thousands of these splendid people, and msonal Liberty always obtains where they reside, ror 57 years Anheuser- busch have enjoyed the trade of those of Holland blood because every day of these 57 years has been devoted to the honest brewing of Barley-Malt and Hop brews.
