Our Tobacco and Whisky Bill

Taking the statistics of the enter
nal revenue for the fiscal year 1891
as an index of the consumption of
liquor and tobacco it is apparent
that the use of both these articles, in
one form or another, has very large
ly increased. The figures are as
follows:
1890 1891
Distilled spirits ... .$sl ,6s7,355 $S3, 1886, 1868
Manufactured tob,. 33,9jS,99l 32,796.2,0
Fermented liquors. 26.00s,53i 1885, 2a
The decrease in revenue from
manufactured tobacco is due to the
reduction of certain taxes, the actual
production having increased. The
total domestic production of cigars
and cheroots was 4,406,696,9S1, an
increase of 3s7, 002,7S4. At an av-
erage retail price of 10 cents the
cigar bill of the country would be
over s44O,O00,0OO. The total pro.
duction of cigare.ts was 2,976,27O,-
ss5, an increase of 6,409.2e0. AT
the ordinary retail price our annual
expenditure for cigaretts is nearly
$2O,O0O,OOO. Converting the in.
creased consumption of cigars and
cigarettes into terms of money, we
find that the country spent nearly
100000 more for tobacco in
these forms in 1891 than in 1890.
There was an increase in the domes.
tic product of tobacco and snuff of
15,444,472 pounds, worth at least
$4,000, 900. AT moderate calcu.
lation the total tobacco bill has in.
creased s50,Ooo,ooO in one year, and
is now at least s64O,O0o,OoO per an
mum.
The total production Of distilled
spirits was ll4,l7s,O77 gallons, an
increase of over 100000 over that
of 1890. There were produced 3O,-
497, 1909 barrels OF beer, an increase
of nearly 100000 barrels. The
production OF distilled spirits has
been once exceeded, in 1881, when
the output was ll9,ooO,0Oo gallons.
These figures lend color to the claim
that the annual drink bill of the
nation is 81, ooo,OOO,OoO. 1t is diff
cult to estimate the increased ex-
penditure for liquor at retail during
1891, but it must have been anywhere
from s2O,OOo,tJo to s5O,ooo,ooo.

Gate City, or in railroad parlance,
Hailowe Junction, is one Of the new

painted stakes, and looks for all the
world like cemetery, where some day
