in the whole. Another point of waste is
increased taxation. Three fourths of the
crime, and nine ,tenths of the pauperism in
the land, comes from drink. Sixty mil
liens are spent every year for the support
of paupers and criminals. In Potter coun
ty, Pennsylvania, where they have had no
license for ten years, at the recent term OF
court there were no indictments by the
grand jury, no criminals in The jails, no
poor in the county. Jails are empty in
several counties in Maine. No expenses
for police, no cases in court, year after
year, in Vineland, New Jersey.
There is no income from the liquor traf.

Ay THMENSE WASTE.

A blacksmith with good business al
WAYS found himself unable 10 meet his
rent. On investigation he was surprised to
learn that his daily expenses Tor drink
amounted to more than his daily dues to
his landlord. Stopping this leak he was
able 10 meet all obligations. Our Amer
can industrial and commercial system is
like the blacksmith. Now, there was paid
out in cash for liquors in this country at
retail, last year, $40, DOC. 600; nearly
enough in two years to pay of the nation
al debt This brings in nothing OF value
in return, and it comes largely out ct the
pockets of the laboring classes. II reduces
their ability TO live well, to clothe them
selves well. 20 educate their children liber-
ally, to enjoy travel and books, to advance
in the social scale, and to rise in wealth.
There is harmonious connection between
all the various forms of legitimate bust
ness, SO that when one prospers all pros.
per, and when one suffers all suffer.
How could SO enormous drain as that
of $74O, 000, 900 but effect the prosperity of
the country? Neither is this amount all
of the damage arising from the liquor
traffic The Engligh bureau Of statistics
says that for every shilling spent for drink
another is required to pay the consequen
ces. So add another $740. DOC, 900 to sup
port the first, and we have 81 ,4S0, DOC, 900,
besides the indirect damage that is done by
drink, and this cannot be computed; for
when we come to think of the moral effect
upon the man, his business, his family, his
position in society, and his citizenship, the
damage is appalling. The whole value of
all the property of the country, it is esti
mated, ia swallowed up by the people In
drink once in every twenty years; and it is

about the same interval. destroying the
business of all classes. Some people fail
TO see the connection between these two
things. because they look at the immediate
cause OF the crash. and not at the steady
drain that year after year is going on. 1t
