According to the internal revenue returns
the hnnual production Of spirits from gratn
IN the United States is Overcome hundred
millions Of gallons. At seventy drinks TO
the gallon this would furnish seven thou
sand millions of drinks. Divide this by
forty millions, and you have an average of
one hundred and seventy-five drinks per
annum for each man. woman and child in
the country. At an average price of five
cents drink this beverage costs the con-
sumer $3.50, 00O, 900. to say nothing of the
increase of quantity (about twenty Ave per
cent? BY reducing In the process of com
pounding 1t. This article yields revenue
of SIC, O00, 900 to the Government. 1t kills
sixty thousand drunkards every year.
These sixty thousand men, estimating their
labor at 81 net per day each, takes from
tho wealth-producing labor of the country
$1s 0000 900. To produce this annual death
crop requires an army of habitual drunk
ards amounting to six hundred thousand
men, as only ten per cent. of our drunkartls
die annually. Suppose this army en-,
gagged In preparing the death crop makes
half time At labor, which Is high estimate,
and the country loses by them 800, 00O. 900
more of the wealth producing labor Of the
country. Here is sos. O0O. 900 dead loss
If we add to this the cost of the grain con-
sumed in the manufacture of the spirits, and
which may be considered worse than
wasted, especially the portion that is not
made into alcohol for manufacturing and
medicinal purposes, and which amounts to
about twenty millions of bushels, worth
an average of at least 81 per bushel to the
bread consumers, it will be seen that we
have one hundred and enty-eight mil
lions of charges against the whisky trade.
But this is not ALL. We have already seen
that the conversion of this large amount
of breadstufs into spirits costs the con-
sumner at least two hundred and fly
millions after it is put upon the marke: at
one dollar gallon, and before he drinks 1t
over the bar. Here is gross profit of two
hundred and fifty per cent. upon an article
universally admitted to be damage to the
interests of labor. If such q profit were

"uENERAL APATHY" seldom tails to get a
round rating from whichever party happens
to be beaten at any general election, although
the apathy is usually AS great on one side as
the other. In the late election, however,
either general apathy, or general cussedness,
or more probably, general disgust, seems to
have seized on the republican leaders of this
state, and though the opposition was lite else
than demoraized rabble, they had an easy
victory apparently through sheer inaction
and stupor or stupidity on the part of the
radical leaders. Take this congressional dis
trict, for example. Poor Corwin, who at his
best Is feeble enough, lay on his back during
the entire canvass from n bilious attack and
there was not another man TO make even one
speech in his behalf. \ single speech from
John \. Logan or Dick Oglesby in this dis
trict might so far have stifIened up the faith
full that Corwin could have been saved. But
Logan was sick" and Oglesby was tired.'

The announcement is made that there is
soon to be a radical change in the tone and
management of the Chicago Tribune. Ex.
Mayor Jas. Mcdill, cac of its former cdi.
tors, has secured controlling amount of
stock in the Tribune Company, and on the
9th inst will take charge of the concern and
change that journal from its present position
of independence to It's old position of an or
gan of the republican party. Or course, if
Mr. Medill owns a majority of the stock, he
has right To do what he pleases with his
own property; but we doubt very much
whether the Tribune will gain either financi.
ally or in reputation and influence by the
change. Organising just now on the part of
newspapers is essentially ont Of fashion.
We do no, recall any paper Of character and
influence in the country that pulls fairly and
steadily III the party traces, either republican
or democratic. Forney's Press and the Gin.
cnnatl Enquirer may be exceptions, but even
these would gain by casting off entirely the
shackles which at best they wear but loosely.
The Tribune, since Horace White became its
sol manager and threw off its party shacklcs,
has won a position second to no other in the
country as an independent journal 1t has
been fearless and terrible as foe to fraud
and shams. no matter what party, ring or
might be responsible for them
The idea that such paper is to sink back
into the weak, wishy-washy, sloppy drlvi of
the IaterOce1a is positively sickcning TO

five minutes, and brought in verdict OF
guilty. Kullmann was then sentenced to four
