Who Drinks the Whisky?

The ST. Louis Republican has taken
the trouble to collate the census Data
showing the number of retail liquor
shops in the States that voted for
Garfield and in the States that voted
for Hancock. It appears that in the
Republican States there are 1925
retail liquor dealers, an average of
one dealer to every $40 persons
This shows the astonishing fact that
the average the country over of re.
tail dealers in liquor is 40 per cent
greater in Republican States than in
the Democratic States. We do not
know how Republican, aasuists will
escape the injurious inference that
may be drawn from these facts
Possibly the Democrats who live in
Republican. States are very wicked
Democrats, whose bibulous habits
bring reproach upon their Republi.
can brethren. This must be the case.
How else could it happen that in the
cold, virtuous and prohibi:ory iuris.
diction Of Maine there is one LIQUOR
saloon to every 791 inhabitants,
while in hot-blooded and passionate
South Carolina they manage TO get
along with one saloon to every 9l9
inhabitants?

What IL Costs the People.

The incidental expenses of tho
Tariff Commission during its useless
tour, foot up like the bills for a Con-
gressional funeral. For example,
the hotel expenses at Long Branch
that great center of manufacturing
industries--were $4,000; two days
trip to New York cost 1914, of which
sll4 were for lunch on thetug, One
commissioner staid four days at a
Washington Hotel at the rate of s35
per day. The plain farmer and
working people will not look at these
items with entire satisfaction. 1t is
Il small sample Of Republican ex-
travagance.

might save something from the gen.

time still left them. 1t says:
The Republicans have good work.
ing majority IN the present Congress.
They unseated Democrats enough to
have things their own way. They
will have three full months in which
to show to the country that they are
not demagogues and plunderers.-
They can do the work for which they
were chosen in such Il prompt and
disinterested way as to make people
almost regret that they have not been
reelected. They can repeal the
whole internal revenue system and
thus reduce the burdens of the peo.
pie nearly s150,000,0OO. They can
revise the Tariff aud Navigation laws
SO mat industry, trade and com
merce may revive, and strikes be
done away with. Thay can abolish
the River and Harbor Committee,
and stop the payment of every unex
pended dollar of last summer'sappro.
priation. They can pass the Pendle.
ton Civil Service bill, and make the
assessment Of Federal clerks and EN-.
