That is, the duty on drinks, or on what readers
water palatable, produces twenty-five minims and.
half in Great Britain, whilst its entire revenue does
not reach fifty millioss. Of these twenty-five and a
half millions, at knit one-third is levied on what is
merely nutritive and restoring, one-fourth on the
exciting, end the rest on the intoxicating.
The result of this indefatigable war of the tax-
gatherer against all and every thing that an English-
man can drink is, that Englishmen drink infinitely
lees than the people of any other natioe, greatly len
than their forefathers, and altogether mach leas than
their wants require or than nature dictates. The French
produce forty millions of hectolitres of wine for a
population of thirty millions, their export being of
trifling proportion. The English brew some eight
millions of barrels of beer; that is, about
twelve millions of hectolitres for our present
population. The chief national, nutritious drink
IX thus twice as abundant to the Frenchman as
to the Englishman. lint in the last century the
Englishman had as much beer at his command as the
Frenchman sow has of wine. Whenever the remark
is made, in or out of parliament, of the shameful way
in which Englishmen are stinted of beer, so shame-
fully that a farmer can no longer give each beverage
to his workpeople, the reply is, that this privation is
voluntary, and is made up by the increased ocaeamptkin
of tea. This, however, is not the ease. The fact is untrue
altogether. The twenty million pounds of tea on-
mimed at the commencement of the century bee more
than doubled, no doubt, but so has the population.
Instead of plenty of tea making up for lack of beer,
the truth ie, we are stinted in both, having experienced
merely a little mere relaxation in one than in the
other. The sole article, in fact, included in the list
of drinks, which has found notable increase, is coffee.
Thin indeed, from the menmeociement of the century,
has sprung up from on importation, merely sufficient
to provide a luxury for the rich, to one that
supplies a necessary foe the poor. And even coffee
might be cheaper and more generally used. It is of
the exciting and non-spirituous drinks, that which
has meet of the effect of spirits, and which best and
most innotiosidy replaces them.
With the exception of coffee, however, then is no
drink, or the materials of drink, provided for the
Englishmen in proportion to his means and his
wants. And not only are these amesseries, or quasi.
nicesseries of life seams sad dear, but they are in
general bad and (deified of their kind. bleed we
