Profits in the Liquor Traffic.

In a recent speech at Bangor, Sher-
if Pearson declared that he had been
offered the sum of s125,00O by certain
liquor interests for he exclusive privi.
lege of doing business in Portland
without interference on the part Of the
sheriff or his deputies.
subsequently he stated that if the
liquor traffic in Portland was not
curbed it would amount to $3,000,eoO
per annum and that S1.000.000 of this
sum would be profit. A liquor man
in that city devotes considerable space
In the Argus TO showing that these
figures were exceedingly wild, and
that in order to consume the amount
Of hard liquor which would be in
yoIyed in sum of this magnitude
every man. woman and child in Port
land would have to absorb 1850 drinks
Of whiskey annually. and az for beer
and ale. they could simply battle in it
or use it for sprinkling streets and
washing windows" This liquor man
further declares that party with the
exclusive privilege Of selling liquor in
Portland upon the basis of present
consumption could make in year
about $4,000. While it is evidently
true that Sheriff Pearson's figures were
extravagant, 1t would seem equally
true that those given by the liquor man
| are entitled to rank in the same cate
| CORY.
At the time Sheriff Pearson entered
upon his reform work in Portland
there we're reported to be between zoe
and 500 places in that city where in
toxicatiny liquor was sold. Assuming
however. that the number was only
200, sal, 900 in profits would be only an
average profit for each dealer of about
$3.50. II is folly TO suppose that any
man would engage in this business
with all its attendant risks. to ga!
nothing Of its character, for any such
trifling remuneration as this. While
| IL is absurd to suppose that s3.o0o,oOt
worth Of liquor would be consumed in
a year in q city of Portland's size. II
| is more absurd to think that mer
would engage in the traffic there oil
anywhere else on $3.50 yearly profits
II good sized divisor should be used
on Sheriff Parsons figures. 1t is evil
dent that those Of the liquor man are
equally In need Of multiplication. Bofr
illustrate the folly and the futility OF
wildcat statistics whose inaccuracy
is readily detected by an intelligent
people. and which only tend to destroy
rublic confidence in the men who in
dulge in them. There is no doubt but
what the liquor traffic in Portland IN
times past, and the same may be sait
with equal truth Of other Maine cities
has been very profitable. otherwise II
Imapy men would not have been found
to engage In It in violation Of law.
