The Hungarian Government has

10, 600 taverns throughout the country,
mostly by purchase, and the majority of
these places will be converted into pub

ment. The Hungarian Government rec
ognizes the evil of an unrestricted
liquor traffic and thinks it time to call
halt. Nearly 10000 school-houses in
the place of the same number of taverns

testimony given at the Cronin trial how

with drinking and with saloons. No

"Give me- says DIR. Talmage, "the
money that the working classes have
spent for rum during the last thirty
years, and will build for every work
ing-man a house, and lay out for him a
garden, and clothe his sons in broad
cloth and his daughters in silks, and Sc
cure him a policy Of life insurance, so
that the present homo may be we'll
maintained after he is dead" Many
will say, on reading these words, that
this is specimen OF the Brooklyn
preachers pious "buncombe," that it is
extravagant and unit uthful. The only
doubt that we have on the subject is
whether it does justice to the facts. The
drink bill of this country is certainly to
be measured by the hundred million
dollars every year. The money worse
than wasted during a generation in this
way would, if wisely invested or en-
ployed in productive enterprises, have
increased to a sum more than sufficient
to have paid for all that DIR. Talmage

nouncing the capitalist because he does
not divide fairly with the laborer would
do well to turn part of their attention
to the use that the laborer makes Of what
he gets as his share of the division.-N.

THE DRINK BILL.
What Become of the Annual Earnings OF
Two Millions of Men.

What Become of the Annual Earnings OF
Two Millions of Men.
AS repeatedly shown in the columns
of the Union Signal, the saloon is the
rottenest form Of commerce. II takes
more and gives less than any other
method of buying and selling. It col
lects an enormous tax every year, so
large that it is almost impossible TO
bring it to the realization of the reader.
II we assume that the total drink bill
amounts to one thousand millions of dol
lars year, an estimate considerably
within the truth, we have in this tax
voluntarily contributed by individuals
a gross amount greater than all the ex-
penses Of the State, municipal and gen.
eral governments, including our vast
expenditure for pensions. According to
the American Almanac for the present
year, the railroads of this country oper-
ated last year 1876, 1856 miles of track;
their Indebtedness, or capitalization,
amounted to IS, 37s, sos, 145, an aggregate
probably double the actual expense of
duplicating the roads in their right of
way, tracks, rolling stocks, ETC., in per-
feet running order. Hence, the drink
bill OF this country, upon this estimate,
would replace all these miles Of track,
and this mighty accumulation OF capital
in five years; or, taking the roads at
their own valuation, in eight years. The
lower estimate, however, is far within
the truth.
The total gross earnings OF all the rail-
roads amounted last year to 1891, 1856, 954.
This included the wage accounts of mill
ion and a half of men. and tho dividends
upon the vast capitalization already
specified. The drink bill OF the coun-
try was greater by the total earnings Of
1000 men. The exports Of the country
were $685., 954, $50; the imports, S72, $685.
s13. The drink bill was half as large
again as either, and nearly as large as
both. 1t may be possible for an econo-
mist like Mr.. Edward Atkinson to sug-
gest that the frying-pan is greater evil
in the United States, impairing moro
lives and wasting moro money than tho
still and the mash-tub. But the facts
above do not support such an absurd sug-
gestion. Whether or not we can put
our hands upon the individuals ruined
BY drink, it is certain that tho annual
earnings OF two millions of men arc
poured down this great sluice-way every
year.-Union Signal.

MASSACHUSETTS RUM.
1t Is Sent in Large Quantities to tho
Natives of Africa.

Natives of Africa.
81 have directly learned says Dr.
Dorchester, in the Congregationalist,
from the best authority, that distil-
lery firm within three miles OF tho
Massachusetts, State-House has a con-
tract to furnish 5000 gallons of rum
daily to the African trade for the next
seven years. This would be equivalent
to almost one million gallons annually.
ut viii be surprise to many to
learn that almost all the rum manufaet-
ured in the United States Is made with
in five miles of tho Massachusetts, State
House. During the last six years tho
total quantity manufactured and de-
posted in the distillery warehouses of
the country was 11,133,7Oi gallons, an
average Of 1885, GIT gallons yearly, OF
which total the distilleries around Bos-
ton made TO- 500 100 gallons, or ninety
four per cent. of all made in this coun-
try.
almost all the liquor sent from tho
United States to Africa is sent from
Boston. No other liquor than that
most accursed Of all liquors, Boston's
rum, is sent from America to the Dark
Continent"
Thus the name of God is blasphemed
among the heather. And while men
are boasting of the progress Of ciyiliza-
ton, and predicting the speedy CONVEX
sion of the world, the so-called "Chris-
tian nations" are deluging poor be-
nighted Africa with strong drink, as
England has for a generation been flood
ing China with opium, and so destroy
ing ten souls where missionaries are
converting one.
Is it not time to lift up the voice like
a trumpet and warn men Of the evil Of
such ways that they may repent of their
wickedness and escape the damnation Of
hell?-Boston Safeguard.

ALBANY, Jan. u "A big strike on the New
York Central roat between New York and
Syracuse, is likel 10 occur and that very
soon. In November last the engineers, fire.
men, brahemen and conductors informed the
Central road authorities that they would not
work over twelve hours per day unless paid
for the overtime at special rate. The switch
men were particularly bitter, and when no
attention was paid to the request they struck.
For five hours there was not a switchman on
duty between Albany and Hudson, and the
signal was about to be given for the whole
line TO go out when word was received from
Chauncy NJ. Depew that their terms had
been accepted and that eighteen cents per
hour overtime would be paid. When the
switchmen were satisfied then the engineers
and firemen also asked for extra pay, aud a
committee from this city visited New York.
II is alleged by the engineers and firemen
that the Central road authorities agreed to
give them thirty-two and one-half cents per
hour for engineers, twenty-five cents for
conductors and sixteen cents for brakemen.
Seventeen cents was TO be allowed firemen.
Monday was pay day on the road, and when
the payInaster made the mems pay up he put
the overtime in the envelopes OF the brake
men and conductors but not any in those OF
the engineers and firemen. Division Az Of
the Brotherhood Of Engineers and Firemen
called meeting, and the men responded in
large numbers A committee headed by
Menso Carl was appointed to go to New York
and find out from Mr.. Depew why the extra
pay was not forthcoming The COMMITTEES
left last night and their return Is anxiouslS
awaited The men are quiet, but say they
will have the extra pay or strike They
claim that they will be backed up by every
