THE PRICE OF DRINK.
Money Spent for Liquor Would Purchase


Land.
In the last report of the West London
Mission. Rev. Hugh Price Hughes says:
''Strong drink is the great curse. We
can not find words powerful enough to
describe the extent and the intensity of
the mischief which it works day by day.
No Christian who knows as we know
what the London liquor trade is really
doing could either remain in it or sup
port it for single day"
Henry George has described so ably
the power and happiness of land-own-
ership that it would appear a desirable
condition for all men. That goal is
in reach of every wagc-worker. The
drink money of the Nation for less than
twelve years could buy all the farms in
the land at the value placed upon them
by the census of $780, The real
estate of the Nation in 1850 was APP
praised at SIS, O56, 766, 925. Our drink
bill would buy it all in less than fifteen
years; and the savings in taxes, pro-
ductive capital and labor, raw material
changed into wealth, ETC., would bank
more than an equal amount in addition.

the best of tenures deserving product t.
i've ownership. Reason.

The report of the Edinburgh Royal
Asylum for 1889 says: 1--WE never, ex-
cept in 1876, had SO many cases sent
here in which the assigned cause of the
malady was alcoholic excess as this
year."
RALPH WALDO EMERSON said: Tho
highest test of civilization is, not the
census, nor the size of the cities, nor
the crops, no, but the kind of man the
country turns out" The saloon system,
with either high or low license fee,
turns out tho worst kind of men.
The Bible Standard and Gospel Rec
ord says: News comes from Africa
that the Arabs at Khartoum have been
holding an Indignation meeting. pro-
testing against the Christian nations in
undating Africa with their Internal
liquor. They also resolve to sell into
slavery every one found engaged in the
traffic."
SINCE the establishment of the
Vienna free kitchens the number OF
drunkards is said to have greatly di-
minished. The medical profession tes-

most frequent cases in Vienna hos pitfalls,
have decreased to one third tho number
of ten years ago.
WHEN will the Nation learn that
every form of shame is born of the sa-
loon, and that every degree of vice and
crime is the sure result of the drinking
habit. Saloons full of men mean fewer
customers in the bakery and the grocery,
kitchens and dining-rooms empty OF
food, while jails and prisons are crowd
ed with patrons I'm at the spigot and

was visiting at one time, says a
writer, very dear friend, whose little
son had not yet dropped his lisping ac-
cent. The pastor, who was a frequent
visitor, was dining with us, and the lit
tie boy, remarkably well-behaved
child, was allowed to sit at the table.
The flow of conversation passed without
interruption, and not a word was spoken
by the child, until the desert was served,
with very delicious sauce prepar ed
after the most approved recipe, with
the required proportion of wine inco r
porated. Then he asked: Mamma,
what it'll thith thauth made of? 1t
ia thes very, very good" The mother
replied: "Butter and sugar." thinking
that would satisfy the young inquiring
mind. He tasted again, then asked:
'What eth it'll it made of? lathe
thomething elth." A glance across the
table from the minister. seemed to say
to the mother: "You are in a corner
now; wonder how you will get out of
it," She then mentioned the spices
and other ingredients, still emitting
wine. The child said again: 1T it'll
very good" and con tinued eating.
Presently he looked up, as if from a
| brown study and said: Mamma, aren't
you glad we are not the kind of folkth
| that cath whithky?'
All present yielded to unrestrained
merriment, except the mother, to whom
the artless question came like an &C.
cusation, and made an impression which
lasted through her lifetime. The reso-
luton was formed, there and tEen, that
her boy should never become familiar
with the taste of wine or other liquors
at her table, and thus fall an easy prey
to temptation in after years. From tn at
time she never allowed one drop of in
toxicating liquor to enter into any part
of the food of the family

guish Poverty and Crime.
There are in New York and Brooklyn
fourteen thousand licensed liquor sa-
looms, usually situated upon street cor.
ners, 80 that the average frontage of
each must be at least twenty-five feet
II these saloons were extended in a
straight line side by side and touching
each other, there would be row of
groggeries extending three hundred and
fifty thousand feet, or trifle more than
sixty-six and one-quarter miles in
length. This is just about two thirds
the distance between New York and
Philadelphia. On an average it il esti-
mated that fifteen dollars per day, i-e
thousand five hundred dollars year, is
spent in liquor in each; less amount
and they would fail Multiply this by
fourteen thousand, and we have an ex-
penditure of seventy-six millions and
six hundred and fifty thousands of dol
lars every year and for strong drink
alone in the metropolis and its suburbs.
This gives an average of twenty-five
dollars for every man, woman and child
within the specified area Let US sup
pose this seventy-six million six hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars applied
to the rent, food, fuel and clothing of
the class from which it is chiefy drawn.
What would that mean? 1t would mean
the abolition of dire poverty. 1t would
mean the wholesome apartments, nour-
ishing food, and decent clothing. Prop
erly speaking it would mean the ex-
tinction of mendicancy and pauperism.
