Injurious Effects of Moderate Drink
ing"

The insurance companies have always
| refused to insure the lives of those so
addicted to Intoxicating liquors as to be
called dlunkards," but according to
an address recently delivered by Presi-
dent Green, of the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Company, there should
/ be still further discrimination. 1t has
been his duty, he says, to read the rec
ords and make careful inquiry into the
last illness and death of many thousand
persons OF all classes in all parts
of the country. Every man is
born with an amount of vital
force that ought, accidents apart,
to carry him specific distance
on the scale of years, and each mans
inheritance of vitality can, on the aver
age, be fairly determined. Among
those selected with due care, the death
rate is more profoundly affected by the
use OF Intoxicating drinks than by any
other cause apart from heredity. That
is to say, of a dozen men equal
ly equipped at birth with vital
ity and health, those who use liquor
will die earlier than those who do
not use it; and man of great vitali-
ty may, by the use of liquor, impair
it almost as much as if he had not
been born healthy and strong. Among
the insured there are not many sots or
victims OF delirium tremens; there are
few with "hob-nailed lives,' but the
greater number OF those injured by the
use of liquor, have reduced their vitali-
ty so as to fall victims to disease. This
disease may be called malaria or
''overwork, " or other scape-goat names,
but, as matter OF fact. Indulgence,
even by moderate drinkers is, in a large
number of cases. the real cause of the
trouble; the use of LIQUOR having so re-
duced the vitality that the system is
rendered unequal to resisting violent
shocks, or unusual exposure.
Next to whisky, Mr.. Green attributed
indulgence in beer as injurious to the
vitality. He declared. as the result of
series of observations carried on
among a selected group of persons who
were habitual drinkers OF beer, that, al
though for two or three years there was
no hing remarkable, yetpresently death
began to strike, and then the mortality
became astounding and uniform in its
manifestations. There was no mistak-
ing it; the history was almost invariable;
robust, apparent health, full muscles,
a fair outside, increasing weight,
horid faces; then a touch of
cold, or a sniff of malaria, and in
stantly some acute disease with, almost
invariably, typhoid symptoms, was in
violent action, and ten days or less
ended it. 1t was as if the system had
been kept fair outside while within it
was eaten to a shell; and at the first
touch of disease there was utter col
lapse; every fiber was poisoned and
weak And this, in its main features,
varying in degree, has been his observa-
tions in beer-drinking everywhere. 1t
peculiarly deceptive at first; it is thor
oughly destructive at the last. Detroit

comes to pass that the larger the bust
ness done the more evil is wrought.
This bar-woman said she took in thirty
dollars as the fruit of last evenings
carouse. That she thought was dong
well. There were probably half dozen
men;' men of families, who spent five
dollars each, and went home drunk.
Follow them there. No ink is red
enough to describe the scenes in the
drunkard's house.
And such mill is run in every VIII
lage, near eve y railway station, in the
midst OF Christian churches, and school
houses and INTEL gent citizens, in State
where laws are made and executed for
the protection of the people! And in.
each of these mills is hung up in full
view license from the State, by which
it is made the right of woman to deal
out this ruinous stuff !! I! The State al
lows it, takes pay for allowing it, itself
sells the authority by which the citizen is
authorized to poison his neighbors and
I'LL the community with vice, poverty and
misery. 1t is wrong to license such
traffic. 1t is not only right. but it is
also eXpedient and duty, to forbid it.
ltis the highest absurdity for q Gov
eminent of the people, existing for the
| good OF the people, 10 enact laws by
which ten thousand men in New York
may be licensed to traffic in that which
makes it necessary also for the same
GNernment to support PRISONS and
poor houses, hospitals and asylums, at
a cost of uncounted millions of dollars
raised by taxing the same people! And
this is self-government.
Mans worst enemy is man. He
puts into his mouth not pistol to blow
his brains out; that were short and
simple mode of doing the naughty
business; he puts into his mouth a
liquid that browns his reason, con-
science, self-respect, capacity for bust
ness, love for his family, regard for his
reputation, and finally reduces him to
the lowest level on which humanity
crawls. He may be a gentleman when
he begins his downward course. Or he
may have never been called by that
pleasing name. 1t is all one with the
tempter and the tempted. He drinks
and is damned. His hell begins in the
bar-room. His worm never dies That
fire is never quenched. Is there no
balm in Gilhead? Is there no power
in great intelligent Christian State, to
take this gigantic vice by the throat,
and throttle it in the midst of its squalor
and shame?
L am not one one who believes this
thing ought to be left to cure itself 1t
never did and never will They who are
not in its tolls and fangs ought to make
it hard tor others to be destroyed -

.The following singular confession
appears in a country newspaper: San
apology is due our subscribers for the
omission of the regular appearance OF
our paper last week. We foolishly yield
ed to a weakness which we would make
any sacrifice to be rid of-an appetite
for that which stands to-day the world
greatest curse-and, as we have always
openly criticized the faults of others,
thus plainly do we acknowledge our
own. We propose to use our best en-
'deayors in the future to prevent any

The apple crop, Notwithstanding the
almost total failure of it in some locali-
ties, has been good in many others, so
that, take the country through, the crop
is regarded as fair one, though by no
means equal to that of 1880. But prices
are ruling high, and will probably be
higher before long. For the foreign de-
mand is large, over $4,000 barrels being
exported recently in one week. And the
dryers now use immense quantities, the
demand for "evaporated" apples grow
ing larger every year. .
