The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1877-02-22

The liquor traffic drains a commu-
nifty Of money without doing l: any
good, just as circus does, and the
money that is spent for whisky would
educate every child in the State.
THERE are in our city, it is said,
Gfty.one saloons and fourteen others
who sell by the quart. They pay
$13, $50 license, and the criminals in
our jail cost $14, SSl. This is making
money in hurry-over the left.

mo CURE, NO PAY. I've author
1ze our agents to guarantee that our
medicine, if taken according to direc-
ltion, will relieve constipation, and the
diseases incident to u torpid liver; and
If any one will show by positive proof
that it has not produced what we
guarantee, they are entitled to re-
turn of their money, provided they
take the genuine Simmons Liver

THOSE who contend that revenues
would be lost under prohlbitory laws
should remember that heavy licenses
are paid out of profits made upon a
useless and demoralizing trade. The
money that goes toward paying these
licenses and enriching whisky men
will be saved to add comforts and hap
piL. ess to the family circle, instead of
enta ling penury and wretchedness
and neglected homes. The dollars
that chink on the counters of saloons
would edu cate and enrich nation.

SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN GOLD.
We refer our readers to the advertise
ment of the Detroit Commercial Ad-
csrtiser, in another column. These
distributions have been honorably and
successfully carried out by the proprie-
tor OF that paper for the past thirteen
years, during which time he has distrib-
uted $l27, 600 to his subscribers. His
references are unexceptionable, and
sufficiently attest his good faith in these
matters. Aside from the gifts, the
paper itself is more than cheap at the
subscription price asked.

closing OF the saloons would seriously
interfere with the business of the city,
