The following contribution was Sent
TO Us for use in this column. We do not
know the donor but thank him lust the
same. Tie article shows what might be
done for the good Of humanity with tlrt
money now annually spent for liquor in
this country. 1t is something for the
school pupil TO figure ont
at is estimated that there il spent for
liquor in this ")untry, 81, ,0OC
yearly. IL is also estimated that 100000
men ill %drunkard's graves every year,
We will assume that each man has a
wife and three children. We will spend
this 81, 20O,O00,O0 O or the largest share Of
1t for the good of mankind. We will
buy 10000 saloon stocks at 3400 each and
turn them into the gutter. We will next
buy $50 distilieries and breweri4s at
100000 each and turn them INFO factasi-s
$4,000 worth of machinery Fan be placed
In each Of these factories, 104 900 suits at
$50 each can be bought for the drunkards
100000 su its for their wives also at St5
each; each child can have IA suit at SIC
each; this will mean BOO, 900 suits.
Going further, 100000 farms of eighty
acres at $500 each can be bought, one
foreach drumkard: a $500 house can be
built on each farm. and 800 worth Of
furniture placed in each one: machinery
to the amount of $500 each can be plac ed
on each farm.
Still further there can be built 0,o00
school houses AT S400 each: and $1oe
worth of seats and maps placed in every
one Of them. $4,000 teachers can be EN-
ployed at an average salary of $500.
Then 1000 churches could be built at
an average cost of $1,000, 500 preachers
could be assured OF IA salary of 5000 each,
We could pay the fare Of $4,000 mis-.
sionaries to China Japan and the Philip
pine Islands: estimating each ut 500.
Afterwards, We could give every one Il
salary Of $500 a year. $4,000 mission
chspels can be built at $500 apiece. 300
Y. NJ. c. A. buildings at 10000 would
follow, each with a $4,000 library.
The ". c. I. L. Temple could be paid
for; $5O0O.0O0 and ii $4,000 library do
mated besides.
Finally 10000 town Library buildings
could be erected at $4,000 each, and
$1,000 worth of books purchased for
each one. I'VE wish Webster had snch a
building now.) All the money is not
yet spent.
This article will be continued In The
next issue. Who will estimate the
amount of the $1,aO0,O00,0O0? The
editor of this column offers six months
