In 1880 the ratio OF pauperisnl in
| the whole country was | to 565 of
| the population. In Maine il was |
10 2N, considerably more than
double the average In New
| Hampshire it was to 170, more
than three times the average, and
lin Vermont / TO 212, much more
than double the average for the
whole country. In Missouri ii was
! to 1,204, so that in New Hamp-I
shire, with prohibition for a gener-
alton past, there's TOO per cent.
more pauperism than in Missouri
with license for even q longer time.
The cost of pauperism
has rapidly increased in all the
prohibition States, as may be seen
BY a glance at the following table,
compiled from the census reports
for the years named, the figures for
1880 not having been published
yet. -
Maine .SI5l. ga 1857 .0e0
/ New Hampshire. I57.S5o 235.l26
Vermont .... i20, 462 i7s,62S
Missouri. ..s......... 5s,24S 1910
In 1850 the annual cost of pau
perism in Maine was 27 cents for
each inhabitant. Under prohibi-
ton this cost increased so that in
1870 it was 53 cents per capita of
the entire population, and more
than double what it was the year
before prohibition began. In New
Hampshire it was 49 cents per
capita in 1850, and 73 in 1870. In
Vermont it was 3S cents in 1850,
and 81 in 1870. In Missouri it was
cents in 1850, and IL in 1870.
The percentage of increase of the
population in those States, for the
same period, being in Maine, z 1-2I
per cent; in New Hampshire, L.
of per cent; IN Vermont, 10 per
cent, and in Missouri, 1852 per
| cent.
TAXES.
I have been unable to obtain a.
statement of the account of taxes,
State, county and municipal, of
Maine, in 1S50-just before she
commenced with prohibition-butI
L have the figures for 1860, when
she had tried it only few years,
and though the burden it imposed
was then heavy, it has since be-
come much more so. The sum
then paid was 81, ,257 ,213, or SO. 80
to each person in Maine. Under
the promised blessings of prohibi-
ton, this burden should have been
removed or greatly lightened long
since; but on the contrary, it has
been so increased that in 1880 it
amounted to s5, 1872, ,135, or 7.9S to
each person in the State. More
than double what it had been in
1850.
! The debt of Maine, with that of
her counties and municipalities, in
1880, was s22, ,406 $50, being S34. .55
per capita, while that of Missouri
and her counties and municipali-
ties was s57 ,4S7 1884, being $3.50
per capita.
| SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
We all love education, and are
ready to favor anything that will
advance it. The Prohibitionists
know this, and they, therefore, put
their policy in very alluring form
when they promised that if we
adopt it we will exchange the sa-
loon for the schoolhouse, and that
we will have a schoolhouse in ev-
cry valley. Well, let's see how it
works in Maine. l give the ratio
of school attendance there at the
commencement of each decade since
Prohibition began, as shown by the
United States census reports.

INSANITY

tAsS<AAfAA
In 1850 Maine had 561 insane,
and in 1880 she had 1,542, an in
crease of 274 per cent, while the
increase in her population was
only 10 per cent. In 1850 her
idiotic numbered but 577, and in
1880 they had increased, under
prohibition, remember, to 1925.
In 1850 her insane and idiotic to-
gether were as one to 512 of her
population, but they increased un-
der prohibition so that the ratio
in 1880 was one to 226.
The ratio of insanity alone in the
whole Union, in 1880, was one TO
545, while that in Maine was one
to 420 of the population, 20 per
cent. above the average OF that for
the whole country. Now this is
bedrock, and | ask the Prohibi-
tionists to come right down to il
and explain how it is that insanity
has increased so greatly in Maine,
under the operation of their favorite
theory of government, and which
they claim, if applied to Missouri.
would work such wonders of good
for us; and / wish 10 know how
they propose to make it do foI
Missouri what it has so manifestly
failed to do for Maine.
The increase in the ratio in hel
other detectives is almost as great,
in the blind even greater. In 1856
she had 19s blind, and 797 in 1880
an increase Of 400 per cent. In
1850 one person out Of. every 1856 IN
Maine was either blind, deaf and
dumb, idotic or insane. In 1885,
the detectives had so greatly in.
creased that one out OF every lot
of the inhabitants belonged to ont
or more of these classes, an in
crease of 228 per cent. Commen'
is surperauous.

ment, while State prohibition is d
species OF foreign government. But
I believe that a county is too large
a territory and a city too great an
aggregation of people for the appli-
cation of this principle of local
self-government, because the ma.
jority can put the minority to toe
much inconvenience by the regula.
ton, if enforced in a whole county
or city. If the people of any block
in a city are opposed TO having a
saloon among them, let them say
so by refusing to sign petition fol
such dramshop, and the applicant
can go to some other block, where
! the people will not object, and SC
with regard to the townships in a
| county, for as this is purely police
| regulation, it is neither fair noi
| just for the people in one township
to say that those of another shall
not have dramshops If they are dis.
posed to do so. This, as shall at.
tempt to show in the course of my

As before shown, drunkenness

STATE ISSUES.

We reprint below some extracts
from a letter written by Col. John H.
Savage to the Nashville American,
touching two very important State
questions. These matters more di-
rectiy concern the people of Tennes-
see than some other things to which
public speakers and newspapers are
devoting much time and space, The
men who are pressing the bank of
Tennessee deposits matter would
much prefer that the people of the
State be keptSs much in the dark as
possible concerning that little scheme

What Protection Costs.

Memphis Appeal
BY the war tariff, which the Mills
bill proposes to modify by a general
reduction to the extent of only s.!
per cent, the revenue last year was
S217, 100000. 1t has been estimated
by Prof. Perry, one of the most care
full and accurate of American
economists, that for those imports
consumed in this country, which are
taxed by the tariff, an average of four
times as much of domestic articles of
like kind are consumed. If protec-
ton fulfills its mission, then the
people of this country pay in the
increased prices of domestic articles
due to the tariff four times as much
as they pay on imports, or 1858, OOO,-
600. If this is not robbery what is it Z?

Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer
The term doubtful states" is
variable in its application, and the
changes which it has undergone in
the past three years are very interest
ing. 1t no longer describes New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
They have become democratic states.
The same might be said of Indiana,
save for the fact that she has a
presidential candidate, which serves
still to throw some small measure of
doubt into her situation. But the
really doubtful states are Michigan,
Illinois, Minnesota and California.
And the republicans know it,
