The butcher and baker are robbed by
the beer-shops.

his family with decent elothingp Was
there ever a drunkard's family sufl-
GENTLY clothedP Never. Rum absorbs
all that should be paid to the dealers
in dry goods, boots and shoes and
dress goods.
As for the manufacturers and dealers
In what may b. called Injuries, that is,
articles not absolutely necessary to the
sustaining Of life, bat which in q state
OF civilization are really necessities
books, musical instrmcnts, newspa-
pers, pictures, sewing machines and
the like--what drmkard's family ever

go for stimulants, and IL his family get
enough of the poorest food to exist
upon they may consider themselves
fortunate.
To illustrate. In Toledo are 800
whisky and beer shops. These pest
holes draw from the laboring men Of
the city something over 81, 10000 each
year. This enormous sum OF money
would b. spent among the business
men Of the city were there no whisky
or beer shops. This enormous sum
would be added to the Legitimate trade
OF the city instead Of being sunk In
this infernalism. And this Is not all.
The 800 beer shops destroy as much
more, In the capacity to produce. The
drunkard can not do a days work
when he works at all, and he can not
put In half his time ut labor. He be-
comes incapable Of labor, and will only
work when the rum appetite can be
satisfied in no other way.
And. finally, add to this wholesale
robbery Of the community the entire
cost Of the crime and pauperism which
Is to DO directly charged to this curse.
all OF which Is borne by honest labor.
and the sum total Is something incred.
ible.
