THE ANNUAL COST OF A NATIONS
LIQUOR.-The New York Examiner has
compiled curious table, comparing the
cost of liquor sold by retail in this cOun-
try 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, ''as deduced from the
receipts of internal revenue" reaches
the sum of 81 ,4S3, 491 ,S65, that is, forty
three dollars for every man. woman and
child in the country. 1t is more than
one-eighth of the entire annual sales of
the merchandise of the country, more
than the entire product of the precious
metals from all that region west of the
Rocky Mountains for twenty years,
which is estimated by j. Ross Browne
at 81 ,155, 100000. 1t is nearly ten times
the value of all the church property OF
the United States, given in 1850 by the
census as S171 ,39S,532 1t is more than
one-half the national debt.
