Promotion OF Tempetanee.


(FIom the Chicago Tribunc)
Ii Is not too late 10 assert that proven.
ton d better than cure; that u Is more
easy To avid evils than TO remedy them
This Is certainly true In tho matter Of
drunkenness. 4 taste Tor SlimulAnts Is 80
universal among men that Il may DO said
To bC natural Among remote tribes that
have never had communication with civ,
iliscL people, the puccSs OF producing
SOmr stimulating Or intoxicating drink Is
well known, and among such tribes In.
temperance exists Ia its worst forms
Among tho northern nations, alcoholic
liquors have always bCrn in use, while
the mildrr wines have generally satisfied
the tastes ii people inhahilinS warmer
climcS AT this time tho question Of the
drunkenness Of the people OF any nation
may Oc undetermined by the extent 10 which
spititUouS Liquors are GSC(i rs a common
beverage In these countries where light
wines and beer SrO the common beverage,
the aggregate consumption ot these Is
great, and thSir U.S. BY both sexes
Is AlmoSt universal, but drunkenness l.
rare. III France, where pure wines are
plenty, total abstinence Is very rare,
yVt drunkenness is seldom noticed, In
Russia and Scotland when brandy aud
whisky abound, drunkenness Is common,
and is believed 10 10 On tho Increase, In
this country, IN,>plcj by men and wOmen
irOM all parts " the WNEld. there Is u great
diversity " tastes and habits, but We
think Il is safe to say that drunkenness Is
confined to those who use whisky, rum,
Sin, " brandy, and dreS no, prevail
among those who drink wine and beer
Hence Il has occurred 10 several eminent
physicians and philSathrOpistS tina, = pro.
