ADuLTERArIoN L1ouoRs-Eminent chemists
assert that nine-tenths at least, of all liquors
sumed in the United States less drugged.
To say that half of all that pretends to
the Atlantic is wholly manufactured this side of
it. would be to fall short of the truth.
There numbers who live and thrive by such
of lead capsicum, acid, aloes juniper berries, verdi
girls, logwood, &C., &c. in varying and nicely gradu
ated proportions has enabled them to bring the art
10 degree of perfection, that seems almost fabu-
lous. Cheap Monongahela whiskey brought into
their vaults by the hogshead, out bottled and
ready for sale as madeira" "Cognac," "Cham-
payne" Pale Brandy" "Cream of the Valley"
and "Old Port" In these the color flavor and
smell of the originals will be closely initiated that
experienced taste is deceived by them. So complete
and minute are their operations, that not only
foreign brands forged and the shape of bottles the
devices of the seals an corks Initiated but even
ticial dust and cobwebs fabricated to give them
air of respectable antiquity
1t other proof of this were needed, besides the
results of chemical analysis, it might be found in
the facts that more Port is drank in the United States
in one year than passes through the Custom House
in ten; that more Champagne is consumed in Amer
lea alone than the whole Champagne district pro-
duces; that Cognac Brandy costs four times much
in France where it is made, it is sold for in
corner groceries, and that the failure of the whole
grape crop in Madeira produced no apparent dimi-
mutton in the quantity, at all corresponding in
crease in the price of the Wine.
1t is these compounds that madden and destroy
such multitudes in our towns and cities. In Vine
growing countries where wine is cheap and plenti-
full, and its almost universal there none Of
these horrors of lntemperance that shock and alarm
us here. France, Italy, Spain suffer more from
the free use of their wines, than do from
Cider, or Sparkling Catawba."
Ii none but pure liquor was permitted to be sold,
its price would instantly become great to put
it beyond the reach of those who fall victims
to red eye" and "rot gut" Genuine brandy gin
and rum are the most costly of all ermened drinks,
instead of being, accustomed to think, the
cheapest To say nothing of the cost of transport
tation, they cannot be bought the spot where
they are made at any thing like the rates they are
sold at in our drinking saloons Brands that at
wholesale bring So bottle, sold at retail for
I" three cents glass;"
A law providing for the prohibition and punish
ment of these authorizations could be faithfully
red into effect, for all parties would have
interest in its enforcement 1t could be resisted by
few, for wants to drink these posons, and
no dealer would acknowledge that he sold them.
Temperance men would gain their end of driving
these beverages out of USE and all respectable liquor
merchants would profit by the rise in prices. Con-
sttutional rights would not be more infringed than
by the detection and punishment of any other fraud;
and no property would be destroyed except the IL
quid poisons and the implements of their manufac-
ture.-Al6any Journal
