The Annual Cost Of Nations Liquor.

The New York Examiner has compiled a
curious table, comparing the cost Of liquors
sold by retail in this country during one year.
Mr.. Wells, in his report for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1867, shows that the cost OF
liquor to the consumers, that is, the value OF
the retail liquor trade, Gas deduced from the
receipts of internal revenue, reaches the sum
of 81, 4s3, 49l ,s65, that is, fortythree dollars
for every man, woman and child in the coun-
try. 1t is more than one-eighth of the entire
annual sales of the merchandise OF the eoun-
try, more than the entire product Of the pre-
cious metals from all that region west of the
Rocky Mountain for twenty years, which is
estimated by j. Ross Browne at 81, 1863 600.
600. 1t is nearly ten times the value of all
the church property in the United States
given in 1850 by the census as sl7l BPS,
$50. 1t is more than one-half the national
debt.
