Nation Of Beer Drinkers.

The report of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue looks very much as
if we were becoming a nation of beer
drinkers, the increased consumption
OF malt liquors having been so rapid
during the last forty years. In 1860,
when the population of the country
was 100000, we consumed only
about 1900, 600 barrels of beer, or an
average of one barrel to every sixteen
people. In 1870, with population Of
80, 100000, We consumed 6,574.617
barrels of beer, or an average of about
one barrel to every six people. In
1880 the population had increased 80
per cent, but the consumption of beer
was doubled, and 5O,155,7S3 people
consumed 1891, ILL barrels of beer.
In 1890 the consumption of beer had
doubled again, reaching total of 27,-
561,944 barrels, while the population
had increased only "a per cent to Co.
662, 250. In 1895, when, according to
the estimate OF the bureau OF statis-
tics, we had 65,OOO,OOO people, we con .
sumed 1861, AL barrels of beer, or
about one barrel for every two persons
in the whole community, and in 1899,
with 100000 people, we consumed
1851, ia barrels of beer. Thus the
population has increased 125 per cent
and the consumption of beer 1880 per
cent.
