an APPALLING SET OF FIG UREs.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue reports
that for the fiscal year ending June 80, there
we're produced 57,O00,O0O gallons of whiskey
and 3i7, 4S5,601 gallons of ale and beer. 1t is
difficult to know how much whiskey was con-
verted into alcohol and used in the mechani-
cal arts and for medicinal purposes. But al
lowing 100000 gallons for this-and The
Public, in an able article on the subject, plac-
es the amount at 100000 gallons, and we
have 100000 gallons of whiskey drunk ev-
cry year. Assuming whiskey to cost the
drinker Sc per gallon (and it costs more), and
beer at five cents glass to cost 81 per gallon
(ale costs more than this), and we have this
result:

The population of the United States is, say,
10000, 900, one half of whom are minors.
Assuming one-half of the 90 900, 600 adults to
be women who do not drink, and we have 10,-

short, occupying every station in life-who
spend over 5000, 100000 annually for drink,
being an average of $75 each, whereas the to-
tai Internal taxes paid by, say. 10000, 900
adults average $11.10 eleven dollars and ten
cents) per capita-so that while men inveigh
against this burden of Federal taxation, which
some find it SO hard to pay, they voluntarily
tax themselves nearly seven times the amount
for the purpose of gratifying an appetite for
strong drink Now add to this the amount
expended for cigars, cigarettes and tobacco
used for smoking and chewing and the manu-
facture of snuff as shown by Commissioner
Baum for the year ending Both of last June
here are the figures, averaging the cigars
at 10 cents each, the cigarettes at $3.50 per

Here, then, the appalling facts stand out in
burning characters the poor people of the
United States-poor men and rich men, its
working men, mechanics, merchants, bank
ers, professional men men of every calling
and every station, in life--spend over $780,
600, 00O-nearly one billion of dollars-for in
toxicating drink and tobacco. This amount,
II saved, in two years would exceed the en-
tire amount now on deposit in the savings
banks of the country, and in three years
would pay the entire national debt | And
yet the country will go on spending this mon
ey while fortunes are vanishing into thin air,
while industry is paralyzed, while labor and
values are deprecated, and the various
churches are begging for few thousand dol
lars to enable them to pay what they owe the
poor missionaries -Christias at Work.

missing. Chief Nathan ordered
her under arrest and close watch

room for controversy concerning
them II only the subject can be
discussed without prejudice.
Com I'M uu,sm ana Socialism.

It may be we'll to ponder on the
following reflections uttered by a
man whose great abilities recon-
mend him to all:
The schemes ending in modern
Communism and Socialism pre-
tend to have for their object to
prevent or remedy certain inequal-
tiles which grow up in society from
the unrestricted exercise of prop
erty or inheritance. The question
then Is, shall wealth of whatever
description, in single hands, be
limited? Such limit is gross in
justice. If a limit to the amouh,
of property prevailed so as to in
clude all kinds, it would act to the
prejudice of exchanges and greatly
embarass business. If only land
were affected by such limit 1t
would not be difficult to evade the
law by dividing property among
the members of one family. Inc
quality inevitably springs cut oil
differences Of vigor of mind, of in.
tslligence, of sobriety, eff thrift and
economy. The law of Inheritance
that law which is the great stim-
uleus to industry and the great
civilizer of mankind, only perpet.
yates differences of condition. The
advantages attained by the father
might he retained and increased by
the child. The justice of limiting
property in land in general to q
definite amount or to an amount
having certain money value Is
neither polite nor just, because the
i'm mportance OF landed property in
political science is relatively less,
as a country grows Older; the
other shapes in which the gains OF
labor can be put, become more MI.
merous and more important, while
land remains the same In quantity
and increases but slowly in value.
But all communism contains con-
tradiction in itself, because the
power of choosing their work and
of distributing their property is
taken away, it passes over to the
community. Thus new depend
ence arises, q veritable slavery,
which is opposed entirely to the
idea of equality. 1t Is clear that
every kind of communism would
put u new and more int0lerable
loss of freedom In the stead of So
ciaI dependence. The atOmistiC
character of communism condemns
it as being contrary to nature anc
mans destiny.

Intelligent persons entertain the
same error. Knowing that he dis
covered q number of islands in the
Western Hemisphere, they think
that he must of necessity have dis
covered this continent also. They
forget that he died in ignorance of

and the other lands be had found
to be remote parts Of Asia. Amer.
igo Vespucci, after whom North
and South America were named,
did not discover this continent
proper either. The land he dis
covered lay near the equator, and
he, too, was deluded with the no.
tion that it was portion of Asia.
John Cabot was the discoverer of
North Americl (some time in May,
1917 which he likewise supposed
to belong to the dominions of the
Grand Cham. He sailed along the
coast for 300 leagues, aid went
ashore without finding any human
beings, though he believed the
country Inhabited. 1t is remarka.
BILE that the three great discoverers
of the western world should have

ing been born in Genoa, Vespucci
in Florence and Cabot presumably
in Venice. The birth of Cabot is
uncertain, as are his age and the
place and time of his death. But
the fact that the license granted
him by Henry VII calls him Ka-
botto, Venetian, would seem to de-
termine the question of his nativ-
ity.
