ENGLAND DRINKS MORE
AND GETS DRUNK LESS.
Alcohol Pays Almost Half of John Bulls
Taxes---Reform's Chief Efforts Turns
Toward Regulation of Traffic.
stas corregpondence of the Register,

Staff Correspondence of the Register,
LONDON, October Pit becomes
more apparent than ever, from the re-
port Just submitted by the Inland Rev
enue Commissioners, that England
couldn't stop drinking if she wanted
to, for more than ever before alcohol
runs the government. If Sir Wilfred
Lawson and his cohorts of cold water
warriors were to succeed in annihilat-
ing the monster known to them as the
Demon Rum, the smash to which the
government would come for lack OF
funds can be judged from the fact that
even now, in the full tide of the peo-
Piles income-producing thirst, the gov
eminent is looking anxiously for the
wherewithal to pay for the old-age
pensions scheme. to which it practically
is committed; and the most effective
argument against that scheme is that
the government cannot find anywhere a
purse from which more money can BE-
squeezed in taxes without causing a
howl that would bring about the down
fall of the Conservative party.
However, this remunerative thirst
shows no sign of diminuition, for in the
last year the United Kingdom has dis
posed of more spirits. wines and beer
than in any other of the last decade.
During the year which ended with
March, 1899, nearly 100000 barrels
Of beer were emptied down the threats
of these folk, which was more by g.
satisfied them nine years ago. In 1890
the amount was something like 26,000,-
900; in 1891 it had increased to 27,000.-
900, and there it remained, practically
unchanged, for three years. By 1896
it had risen to 2S,000000, in 1897 it
had added 100000 more, and in 1898
1t was far past the 3OOO0OoO mark, and
this year the imposing sum of about
31.0O0,000 was reached.
BEER VERSUS WHISKY.
But your Britisher does not live by
beer alone. IN the year mentioned he
got away with over 100000 gallons
Of ardent spirits as we'll. In this con.
nection it is interesting to note how
this liquor was distributed. If we cal
eulate that the biggest part Of this in

icants is lying in bonded warehouses
over 10000 gallons 1t has been esti
mated that this reservoir Of fire wa
ter" is equivalent to two full days flow
of the River Thames over the famous
Teddington Dam.
Not content with this array Of good
cheer, however, foreign-made wines
were brought into the country-about
51s per cent. more than ever were
brought in before, and one of the most
significant and interesting features of
this increased Importance is the extent
10 which port wine has triumphed in
the last two years over the lighter

gallons more Of the favorite Eliza
bethan beverage were imported than in
the previous one The light wines
notably champagne-show a surprising
decrease, amounting to 10000 gallons.
The explanation for this is the odd one
that the year with which the present
one is compared marked the celebration
Of the Queens Jubilee, and for THIS
celebration an unusual importation Of
the light wine was made. Notwith-
standing this fact, the remarkable
strides which the wine OF Oporto has
been making can be interpreted only
to mean that the drink favored by the

dustrious drinking was done by men,
we find that in the year mentioned the
average Englishman cheered himself
with four barrels of beer and about
four gallons of ardent spirits, while
the average Scotchman took only fifty
six gallons of beer (or about barrel
and a half, but felt that he needed sew
en- gallons of spirits or gallon of
beer and bottle of whisky a week.

untiring energy on the part of the bon

At the close of the Jameson raid,
when jameson was in prison, you will
remember that he was pardoned This
should never have been done. Jameson
should have been hung. But the Brit
ish condoned his offense and Jameson
was reinstated and was made a hero
instead of a traitor and knave.
The Afrikanders have had great
deal of trouble in their history. Weak
in numbers, yet so thrifty in DISPOSE
ton that they accumulated wealth
wherever they were, driven from place
to place by the British, they were natu-
rally the target of the greedy Britisher.
They owned Cape Colony, but the Brit
ish claimed it and the Afrikanders left
it.
The Zulus owned Natal and the Afri-
kanders bought it from them. They
bought it for SO many head of cattle.
They also fought the Zulus and came
into possession of Natal by blood and
by money, so it was theirs. But the
British wanted Natal and they got it.
The treaty concerning the transfer of
land was drawn UP by an American
missionary named Omans.
We felt the country was ours by the
purchase OF cattle and blood. In 1912
the. English entered Natal with the
Union Jack and said This is ours"
The Afrikaders submitted to the edict
and moved to the Orange Free State
only to be again followed by England
who laid claim to the territory. We
moved without murmur over the
River Vaal and made settlements,
when yet again England claimed the

wines, which previously had enjoyed
SO long a popularity-the excess in inn
portation has been with the sparkling
wines. In that year so per cent. Of all
the wine brought into the United King
dom paid a duty of rs cents, and this
sort Of thing continued until 1896, when
the light wines, paying 25-cent duty,
were rated at 70 per cent. and the
heavy wines, paying a duty Of 60 cents,
at % per cent. only.
A VICTORY FOR PORT WINE.
Since 1896, however, port wine has re-
gained its lost ground, and during the
year dealt with in this report 645.000

suited in the defea. of the English at
Majuba Hill and the ultimate triumph
of the Afrikander forces.
The Transvaal G overnment soon re-
allied that their country, on account
CT its valuable mining properties, would
be overrun by foreigners, and devised
means wherey the newcomers should
not be made citizens until they had
proved themselves worthy.
This created two political parties in
the Transvaal, one headed by Kruger,
the present President. and the other
the progressive, by Gen. Joubert. The
latter had for its central idea the modi-
fication of the restrictions surrounding
the admission to citizenship, and in the
last Parliament it carried the day. 1t
was soon seen, however, that such radi-
cal laws as were contemplated would
mean the overthrow of the Republic.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the British Colo
NAL Minister, is evidently Matching the
present trouble, and England cannot
but be cognizant Of the fact. True.
there was an education grievance.
Outlanders were unable to educate
their children elsewhere than in Dutch
schools, but the law of 1896 provided
for English schools wherever needed.
The Outlanders do not pay 80 per cent.
of the taxes alleged. 1t is true there
is poll tax Of S. a head and an indi-
rect taxation on importations which
simply amounts to a custom duty.
1t is also true that we tax mining
materials, but in view of the fact that
huge dividends are earned, we feel jus
tilted in so doing. The dividends vary
from go per cent. to 800 per cent. The
owners of the mines are fully protect

ed, so why should they not be taxed?
1t is wrong to believe that our lead
ers in the present crisis are of Dutch
extraction. Many of them are not. In
johannesburg we have leaders named
respectively Hancock, Quinn, Watkins,
and Lovejoy, so you can easily see that
in the coming fight we will not be all
Dutch. Many Of our leaders are native
born, but there are just as many who
were born under other flags. The

facts in our case should not be mis-
