can more clearly the folly of
the alcohol habit, than people
who have lived 50 long with the
brewery and GROCERY under
their very noses that they have
become injured to their Oftensive-
ness.
But from a purely practical
point of view, all questions of
right and wrong aside, We ought
to be "dead-set" against the lia-
uor interest, from the fact that
it is the great distuFber of BUSH
ness. If the millions of dollars
now spent for drink that ought
to go to supplying poor mems
families with food and clothing
and fuel, were spent as they
ought to be, there would be home
markets for all that we could
raise, and Over-production would
be a thing unheard Of.
An official enquiry made by
the Massachusetts Bureau of
Statistics of Labor into the re-
lation of the LIQUOR traffic to pau
perism, crime and insanity, mas
brought ont some interesting
facts. AS to the insane, 80 far
as can be ascertained, seven out
of every ten had Incorporate
parents; and one out of every
four was believed to have been
made insane by mis- own intem-
perate habits.
OF all the paupers of the state
institutions three out of every
four were addicted to the use of
liquor, and nearly One-half had
Incorporate parents. OF all the
arrests for crime during the year,
two thirds were for drunken
ness Taking into account all
kinds of crime in about eight and
one-half cases in every ten the
Incorporate of the offender led
to condition which induced the
crime; and excluding minors,
ninty-six of every one hundred
persons convicted of crime were
addicted TO the use of liquor.
Massachusetts has local Op-
ton law, under which the cities
and towns vote annually upon
the licensing of saloons. One
branch of the bureaus investi-
cation was directed to ascer-
tanning the relative amount of
drunkenness in places where the
saloons We're closed and in those
where they were open. In the
no license cities and towns the
arrests for drunkenness were
only about one-fourth, and for
offenses other than for drunken
ness less than half as many per
thou9and of the population as in
license cities and towns. In the
five cities which We're for part
of the year under no license, the
licensed months showed nearly
three times az many arrests for
drunkenness, on the average, as
the no license months.
These statistics, taken az a
whole, seem not only to establish
a close connection between the
liquor traffic and crime, pauper-
ism and insanity, but to show
also considerable curtailment
of these evils when the saloons
are closed, Farm News.

Anybody can get work in this
country, but ofcourse the pay is
small for some work. But a
person with a trade or profess
