DER VIsKEY PBEZNESS.
Convincing Reasons why it should be Main
tanned. Hans Sauermilch' 8 Opinion on
"Der benefits NV Thinking"

"Der benefits NV Thinking"
Mr.. Shentlemens: Ply reason Nv 9
letter in der newspaper, | haf peer
requested to ockspress meinself or
der viskey question.
AS | am der poss NIT beer sa'
loon, it was yust right dot | stand
oop for dot peezness. iva man vas
got a saloon NIT himself, guess he
vas know some dings about drinks,
amt it y
| am aware dot lots Nv fellers dot
wants to save monish vas dryin' to
runs down der peezness.; der vas
Shon B. Co. of, und Suse Anthony,
und Parnum's circus, und plenty Nv
unner vellers but ven | dold you
some dings, guess you would say,
"Pully for Sauermilch, his bet vas
level"
Der ort to pc a rum shop on every
corner, in every town, aud den peez-
ness would be goot. Der viskey
peezness helps emmy town. No mat
ter how dull peezness vas, peoples
will spend der monish fur 6rinks.-
Dis vas proved efry tay. All over
Nye York you can find working mans
dot vos complaining apout der pay,
und bromisin' dot dey would go on
some strikes, because dey mems will
spend feefty cents efry tay fur visky
und bier; dot proves dot der liquor
peezness vas helpin' drade, amt it 7
Und dot vas not der only way der
vas menny unners. Nv it vas not
fur Thinking, menny public buildings
would not peen built; desc prisons,
und shails, und poor houses, und in
ebriate asyIums, und such dings;
und eff desc houses vas not puilt, Wy
Nv course der magazines would hafe
nodtings to do, amt itY
Nv you don't got some rum shops
in der town, you Won't need no shall,
und NV course you don't want no
sheriff, und vot would her politicians
done?
Nv der vas no rum der would peen
no murders, no fites, no stabs, no
licking your wife, no nodting fur der
und vot would der editors
done Und vot would der lawyers
done
All mein freunds, before you run
down der rum, you yust tink NV all
dose dings. How menny peoples
would pen out Nv work, mitout liquOrH
Wy we would need no bolicos, no
charity commissions, no supehauses,
no communists, no holdings.
Nv you hat no viskey schops, ware
would your poys spend der efenings 7
Wy! dey would hat to stay at home,
and it would kill menny Nv them to
be cast into der same society as der
mudders und seesters. Der mudders
could not dell dem der same sholly
stories vot dey hear NIT der saloon
dot vas IMPOSSIBLE. Pesides, der ga
loon vas Nv yuse to der vamiley. Nv
you hat a son, und you don't want
him setting arount der hause all der
efening, you can yust send him to
der saloon, und be would not worry
you some more dot night. In all
desc ways a saloon helps town ferry
moocA, amt itY Und it helps you
socially. 1t benefits your vanity
1t helps your sons to get ockquainted
init beeple dot dey would not udder-
wise know mitout der saloon.
Der was nodtings like bier fur SO
ciabIeness-except viskey. Viskey
vas little ahead.
Der vos a time ven two freunds
would meet und ockschange der gom-
plements NV der tay, und den part.
But der saloon has done away NIT
dot cold way of acting. Now ven
two or dree freunds meet, und schake
hands nit demselves, Won Nv dem
will say: Lets have some dings 7"
und dey will walk into der saloon (der
is always Won handy und Won weller
says "Vot will you dake 7" Und
der unner weller says: 81 will take
der same; und den dey yust DOUGH
dose glasses togedder, uud say ::
"Here she goes" und she does CO.
Den der unner weller will say: "Now
you must dake Something's nit me-"
und dey go droo der same berform>
ances NIT demselves vonce more
Dot was sociapility. Nv you don't
got some saloons how you vas gone
to done dot, eh 2 Ven you ask
man to dock Something's, you don't
want to dreat him to a coat, or pair
of schuhs, loaf Nv pread, or no such
voolishness ; do you? Viskey on
ables a man to pury his dhoughts.-
He will forget all about his hard work
sometimes fur more as week.
1t gifts a man courage in running
his haus. Vot would a man done
mitout he thinks 7 l vas so meek as
Moses ven was sober, but ven | vas
full NIT bier, you yus pet your poota
der schildren und der oft woman vas

wife don't dalk pack to me den; Nv
she would, | lick her like PLACES. l
let her know l vas so goot a men as
vot she vas, or some unner vons also.
Viskey beaches man not to pc
broud init himself. Ven a man vas
sober he wants CLEAN CLOSE, und
goot ped, und blenty Nv unner dings.
But ven be vas drunk, he vas not so
stoock oop. He don't care vot kind
of CLOSE her wares. und ven it coOms
