Whisky is the devil that makes the
mischief wherever it is tolerated, wheth-
er in America, England, Scotland or
Ireland. There are 100000, 900 Of
people in Europe, outside of Great Brit
ain and Russia, who drink nothing
stronger than wine or beer; and, among
all that vast nass, out-numbering the
population Of the United States FIVE
times, there is less drunkenness and
fewer arrests made on the charge Of
drunk and disorderIy." than in the
single city Of Chicago, which contains
not one fye-hundredth Of their popula-
ton. This is an absolute fact-a naked
truth-which it would be well for both
liquor advocates and prohibitiOnists TO
turn over in their minds, digest we'll.
and draw rational conclusions therefrom.
A crusade against whisky as beverage.
would be a legitimate and beneficial
war, which if crowned with success by
the extirpation Of the socursed fluid
from the entire Union, would be most
inestirnable public blessing. As ten
peranee measure, the tax On whisky
should be quadrupled, while the one On
| light wines should be reduced one fourth
Of existing imposts.
