Intoxicating Liquors.

More than 100, 100000 gallons of intox-
icating liquors are manufactured in the
United States annually. On these should
be an internal revenue of 5000 600, OO0
whereas there is only $25, 900, 600, thus
defraudiug the Government of SITS, 900, 900.
A traffic which thus originates in sin and
dishonesty, cannot beget very desirable re-
suits. Here is the record. More than
100000 drunkards die every year. More
than 200, 900 hard drinkers in the world. -
Thus the vast army Of rum victims array
themselves in frightful attitude before us.
One hundred and forty thousand every year!
During the late war, 100000 souls have gone
to perdition by rum. Where is there
parallel for this? War, with its missiles OF
death, is weak in the comparison.
