For God and Home and Nntire Land.

1t has been found by careful study
of facts that in the city OF Chicago dur
ing the year 1888, $4,000 barrels Of
beer were consumed, for which the con-
sumers paid S26,SOO,OOO This same
amount, if put to the purchase of homes
for working men, costing S2,40O each,
would have supplied l,lG6 homes. 1t
is very significant fact that the beer
saloon does the most Furnishing bust
ness in the place where there is the
largest number of woIkingmen, and it
is also fact that these same saloons
are supported and draw pretty much, if
not all, their trade from this class. Ii
one has ever taken the pains to look in
to the matter, he will find that during
the noon hour, and after the closing OF
mills and factories at night, these same
saloons are filled with men whose ap-
pearance at once denotes that they be-
long to the laboring class. These are
facts which are undeniable irrefutable,
and which stamp the saloon as the la
boring mans worst enemy. Many of
the large employers of labor run beer
saloons near their factories in order to
give their men an opportunity to get
their drinks close at hand. We could
name one large factory in St. Louis
which runs three saloons. It is useless
to discuss chimerical remedies for pov-
erty as long as the saloon demands as
its tribute SO large share of the wages
of the workingmen.
Several times the United States Sen
ate has passed a bill to Investigate the
liquor traffic in its relations to morals,
crimes, poverty and pauperism, but the
liquor influence has bcen strong enough
in the House to defeat the measure
The majority of committee in the lat
ter body have now reported bill for
such a commission. The report of the
committee says that large portion of
the people for long time have desired
an honest, impartial and though inves-
tigat:on of the liquor traffic in all its
phases. Reference is made to inquiries
by similar commissions in England
which had remarkable results and war
rant further Investigations. The re-
ports from domestic: sources indicate
the liquor traffic causes four-f OF
all the crime committed; one-half OF
the taxation; causes an expendenture
of $SOO,OOO,0OO year in drink; inca
pacitates mentally and physically, hall
a million people for labor and business
causes three-fourths of the pauperism
OF the country; is responsible for the
fearful increase in insanity and imbe-
cility, and does no good to anybody
On the other hand these statements are
denied and pronounced to be the hal
fluctuations of diseased brain. There,
fore, says the report, let us have an in
vestigation and let the world know the
truth or falsity of these assertions
There is, however, minority report
seeking to stife inv estigation, and it
may be that the liquor influence will
be strong enough to carry the House
again.-Christian Evangelist.

IT is but question of time when
the fallacy that underlies the crumb-
ling structure of Protection will be visi-
BILE to all men. The ancient skinny
in letter to the Plain Speaker has
demonstrated how special privileges
have raised the price of fish sixty per
cent. ON the denizens of Beaver
Meadow What is true of Beaver
Meadow is true of every hamlet in
the land, and will continue until men
see the necessity of abolishing the
whole system of privileges. Such
half way palliatives as the abolition of
company stores is not the remedy,
and will at best but augment the evil
by staying the advent of practical
measures, and postponing the day Of
deliverance. 1t is gratifying to note
that the scales are falling from
"Shinny's" eyes, for his fish escapade,
if reasoned to its natural conclusion,
will lead him into the company of
men who would abolish all privileges,
and make it impossible for any
special interests to levy sixty per
cent. tribute on their fellowmen in
any cline on Gods footstool Shake

The spread of the Single Tax idea is
perfectly wonderful. Its most sanguine
agitator, Mr.. Henry George, says he had
no idea when he wrote Progress and
Poverty" that he would ever live to see
the system adopted, but he believed that
ultimately it would be. But, now, Mr..
George is of the opinion that it is only a
question of very short time until the
Single Tax idea will be in vogue in a
great many nations of the world. Think
of it, you are doubling Thomases; you
who are only half-heartedly supporting
the measure; you who know but little
about it and care less. Think what fools
you are making of yourselves. Here is
a question that is attracting the leading
men of the world-not only of the lead
ing men of our government, but of all
the governments of the world

tenant Governor Black, the latter of
whom earnestly advocates the calling of
a Constitutional Convention at as early
a day as possible for the purpose of
considering the subject. Ex-Attorney
General MacVeagh, c. C. Binney, Esq,
of the Australian ballot system, hold
that no change of the Constitution of
Pennsylvania would be necessary for its
introduction.
There is nothing in the State Constitu-
ton to prevent the exclusive use of an
official ticket. or denying the privilege of
a voter to make up his ticket in booth
where he would be free from interfer-
ence, espionage or corrupt solicitation.
These are three essential features of the
Australian ballot system. But the point
at issue is the provision of the State Con-
stitution which requires all ballots to be
numbered by the election officers. This
provision, it is condended, is incompati-
BILE with the secret ballot, and should,
therefore, be abolished.
When the new Constitution was before
the people, in 1873, its opponents urged
that such requirement would destroy
the secrecy of the ballot But its friends
argued that the secrecy of the ballot
would be practically maintained under
provision making it crime for an cleo
ton officer to disclose how any elector
should have voted. The numbering of
ballots was deemed essentially necessary
for the protection of the suffrage against
variety of frauds, by enabling voters
to identify their tickets in cases of con-
tested elections; and this is the view
which the people of Pennsylvania evi-
IDENTIFY took of the subject.
If the provisions have not full an
swered the expectations of its advocates,
the failure has been due to defects in the
Election laws which it could not cure.
1t has, nevertheless, done much to check
frauds upon the ballot. If holders of
window books and ticket distributors
around the polls think they know how
citizens have voted, it is not often that
and election officer gratuitously commits
a misdemeanor by disclosing the secrets
of the ballot.
But let the ticket be official; and let
the voter be protected in making it up,
free from all intrusion, as the Australian
plan provides. Then there would not be
the slightest difficulty with the require
ment for numbering ballots. On the
contrary, this provision of the Pennsyl.
vania Constitution, instead of weaken.
ing or interfering with the Australian sys
tenn, would strengthen it. So far from
5 calling Convention to abolish this pro
vision of the Constitution, the people o
Pennsylvania should cling to it with tn,
utmost tenacity The able men VIII,
= framed the Constitution of 1873 wer,
friends of a pure as well as Of a secre
f ballot; and they knew precisely wha
t they were doing when they put into
4 the requirement that all ballots should b.
! numbered. There may be reasons fo
! holding Convention to revise the Con
: stitution of Pennsylvania but this is no
Y one of them.-Philadelphia Record.
