w. G. It. j. COLUMN.
The Gothenburg System,

The Gothenburg system of rcgula-
ting the liquor traffic to which frequent
reference is just now made takes its
name from the city social in Sweden.
The municipal conc,l in 1868 held an
inquiry regarding the cause Of pau.
pcrism and the combined municipal
wisdom decided it to result from eN.
cessivc drinking among the working
classes. OF course, that much has
accomplished long before in many
centuries, but the people OF Gothtcn
burg set about proving remedy
The municipality having the sole con
troll of the matter, transferred to =
company the exclusive right to sell
brandy and other alcoholic liquors,
that being in accordance with the le-
commentator of the inquiry com
mittee. The town council handed
over 80 license to the company, the
BY laws received royal sanction, and
business was commenced within the
year of tho inquiry. The company
was organized under special regula-
tons designed to remove from ven
doris all temptation to encourage Oh
force sales. 1t was required that all
profits OF the company above e per
cent, on invested capital should be
handed over to the municipality for
charitable purposes. Managers ap
pointed for the various retail establl-
shments should keep on hand a sup
ply of hot and cold food, and receive
a proportion of the profits from such
sale, IN addition to their salaries.
The hours for doing business are pre-
scribed, special provision being made
for special days snch as holidays and
paydays. The consumption Of spirl
tuous liquors has decreased from
1,461 quarts per inhabitant in 1877
to GAO in 1891; the average annual
profit being above $325,OOO. Pre-
hibtion practically prevails in the
country districts, and IN two village:
no liquor is sold. The system ha:
spread with equal rapidity in Norway
almost all the towns having granted
mOnopolies for the sale of alcoholic
liquors.

for rainy day, and the moment any
thing untoward befalls, work little
slack. or sickness for short time IN
the home, the cry is raised to Charity
to help.
Workinsmen should learn that this
uudeninable fact hardeEs many hearts
and closes many purses. The most
popular. ana the most successful
strike ever iuauguratcd would be {:
strike against liquor traffic.
