THE GREAT EVIL.

Over 81 100, 900, 900 Worse Than Thrown
Away in This Country Every Year.
The enormous quantity of intoxicat-
ing liquors that is annually poured
down the Threats of the American peo-
pie is something astounding 1t is es-
timated that every year our people
drink 100000 gallons of domestic
distilled liquors, saying nothing about
the imported liquors that are con-
sumed. This is five quarts for every
man, woman and child in the country.
1t is estimated, upon what is claimed
to be careful investigation, that the
money annually expended for domestic
spirits amounts to $40, 600, 900, or
about ten dollars a head. 1t is further
estimated that our beer costs us $780,
600, 900 every year. the cigars smoked
are valued at 1922, 900, 000 which
added to the cost of drink makes q
total of 81, 1873 o0oQ00, or twenty
deettSsp{s per capita. f Al ~ yet ct
a good many of our colleges,
churches and school houses are
mortgaged, and clean, instructive
newspaper has hard work to get people
to pay a subscription price that will pay
for the white paper on which it is print
ed. This enormous sum of money is far
worse than thrown away. tits expended
Tor what is of no earthly use to any hui
man being, but an absolute injury We
say no use because there is nothing for
which liquor or tobacco is used that
there are not other and perfectly harm
less things to take its place and do bet
ter. The money expended for liquor
supports traffic that causes most of
our crime and poverty and taxes, de-
bases the human character and supports
in virtual idlcness an army of bloated,
blear-eyed, ignorant and british rum
sellers and bar-tenders. The money is
expended for that which destroys health
and life, and even should the individual
claim that what little he drinks does not
harm him, he is encouraging what does
injure thousands of his feIlow-men.
Is it not utterly unaccountable? Who
is it that spends all this money? All
people do not drink. 1t is perfectly
safe to say that not one-half of the
American people drink. This would
make the expenditure forty dollars per
capita for the balance. But not one
half of this balance are hard drinkers.
I There must, therefore, be torrent of
rum coursing down the Threats of some
people all the time and a steady drain
upon their poeket-books. No wonder
we are compelled to build Jail and
poor-house about the first thing we do
in new settlement and to keep enlarg
ing those in the old settlements. i Vest

the flavor of the soft crab is so delicate
that it is at once ruined by being put
