AustraIia,a Drink alli.

Tho annual alcohol bill for the
whole commonwealth Is credibly re-
ported to amount to about fl4.50O. zoo.
says the Melbourne correspondent: OF
the Financier. Against this only E7..
100000 was spent last year In bread,
f3.750.000 In sugar. and G2,0Ot, 900
In tea and coffee. The drink bill for
the same period would cover tho
whole cost OF tho Common wealth gov
ernment. and would run nil the rail-
ways in the SIX states. and pay all ex-
penditure on our government educn-
ton. AT the same time the Judges In
all our courts maintain that II ex-
cessive drinking could be abolished
throughout Australia. our prisons
would be more than half empty.

for the capital IL invests. AZ that OF
the b-eweries and distilieries. Here
Is nm illustration of what we mean:
In Rochester. n. v, the brewers have
invested fG.f55.000: they employ 43s
men. and pay them 1881 900 = year In
wages. Hut the city clothing manu-
facturers have 3G.l50.OO0 invested, and
they employ 3.i3: people. and pay
them 1861 600 = year In wages. The
boot and shoe factories have Invested
n capital OF $3.2S1 900. employ 1853
people. and pay them each year In
wages $2.03l 900. The capital of the
shoe and clothing business IL ono and
one-half times greater. only. than that
of the beer houses; but they employ
1895 men. against i3i for the brew
cries.
II the brcweries did not exist in
Rochester. the two other establish
ments. from increased sales, could
easily iind employment for tho dis.
charged workmen OF the brewcrics.
They also pay S3.529. 900 In wages.
while the brewers pay 1881 900. Every
