The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-12-08

A man entered a pawnbroker's shop in
the Bowery, and laying down a $50 bill
asked if he could he accommodated with
II on it. The pawnbroker was an excellent
judge OF money and saw at once that the
bill was genuine. So he turned and said to
the stranger, showing the bill toward him
as he spoke, that he was in no mood for
nonsense. But the stranger, showing the
olll back, reloined in earnest tones that he
meant business; that he couldn't get any
conductor on horse car to change the bill:
that he had already been put off three cars;
that his boots We're awful tight, and that
unless he could get 81 on the bill he would
be compelled to walk to the Battery Well,
the pawnbroker couldn't but feel that the
stranger meant what he said So he took
up the so bill, toyed with it few mo-
ments and then said to him, "Well, my
friend, I'd like to accommodate you, but
owing to the financial stringency can
only give you 20 cents. journal of F..

Yes" said the old man, addressing his
young visitor, Pm proud of my girls, and
should like to see them all comfortably
married, and as I've made little money
they won't go to their husbands penniless.
There's Mary, 25 years old, and real good
girl. | shall give her 81 600 when she mar
ries. Then comes Bet, who won't see 50
again, and shall have $4,000, and the man
who takes Eliza, who is 40 will have e9 900
with her"
The young man reflected moment or
SO, and then nervously inquired, "You
haven't one about so, have youP"-Tit

There was an old darby in southern ILL
nots who wanted to join the ministry He
had progressed through many years of trial
and tribulation from the position of chief
hog stealer and henroost robber of the
community to the mourners' beach, to
membership, to a deaconate, and finally to
the dignified office of sexton and chief bell
ringer of the white folks church in the
same town. He couldn't read, but his
granddaughter Lucindy could, and he made
her read to him every evening from the
good book and prayerfully padded her
with a bedslat three times week that she
might fear God. He was finally brought
before the board of examination, which
was conducted as follows:
"Brer 'lias, do you know the BibeS"
"Nas, praise de Lawd."
"Brer 'Lias, do you believe it to be the
word Of God?"
"Nas, dat do, praise de Lawd."

The Currency Question Again.
WrycHEsTER. VA. Aug. 10. 1S9,

WINCHESTER, VA, Aug. 10, 1885,
No one has been found who will say
that the eight hundred millions of dol
lars estimated to be the annual loss of
productive power to the liquor traffic.
The loss from policing it and the loss in
caring for it's products is not direct loss
and drain upon the financial resources
of the community. There are, however,
men who will deny that the eleven hun
dred' millions spent for liquor is lost.
The money spent for liquor, they say,
merely passes through the hands of the
salOon-keeper to be returned again to
the community. Let us see.
There were in 1892, according to the
report Of internal revenue commissioner,
all told, 239 1873 holders of United States
permits AS liquor dealers. Not every one
OF these is an actual manufacturer of or
dealer in liquor But the number may
be taken as IA basis on which to estimate
the number of persons engaged in the
traffic. 1t is safe to say, including the
bartenders and the employees of brewers
and wholesale liquor dealers, that at
least 10000 men are today engaged in
the liquor business. What supports these
men? The money spent for liquor This
army of half million men-as many, al
most, AS were engaged at any one time
upon the Union side in the late civil war
lis supported in a business which pro-
duces nothing but loss. 1t would be
cheaper by far to keep these 900 men
in absolute idleness, paying to each
salary of $4,000 which multiplied by
100000 is the sum spent for drink than
to let the money pass through their
hands as payment for their work in the
destructive liquor business. We could
pension the 800 900 liquor men at $4,000
annual pension each and make money
for we should then save the eight hun
dred millions now spent in taking care
of the results of the traffic. OF course
the s., 200 paid each liquor dealer is re
turned to the community" but not for
value received. 1t would be returned to
the community if the liquor dealers were
simple pensioners engaged in no crime
breeding, pauper-producing, tax burden
ing traffic. The eleven hundred millions
spent for drink and the eight hundred
millions spent to care for the products
of drink are both dead losses. Lift this
burden Of nineteen hundred millions of
dollars a year from the thirteen millions
of producers of the United States and it
means a gain in value saved, if not in
actual money, of $146 to each and every
one of these thirteen millions of
producers in each and very year
year. Who doubts that this additional
value in the pockets of our citizens would
go far toward relieving occasional iinan>
cial stringency and panic? But what
shall be done with the army of liquor
dealers when the saloons are abandoned?
One thing will not be done: They will
not, as now, be supported in idleness or
worse than idleness. But will this vast
army find room in the busy workshops
which are producing the worlds goods
when so many are now running short
handed?
The picture to be drawn in our next
will show how all legitimate business
would be stimulated by the abolition of
the liquor traffic. T.
