LioouR CONSUMED IN
THE UNITED STATES.

The consumption of spirits in the
United Kingdom was OBS gallon to
the inhabitant in 1880. O.S0 gallon in
1910. OBS In 1850, 0.95 in 1860. 1.01 in
1870. 1.O6 in 1881 and O96 in 1888
That is, in period OF nearly sixty
years there was one decade which
showed a marked decline. then there
was nm increase through four decades
than another decline that brings the
last figure and the first very close
Turning from these old statistics to
more recent ones, we find that for the
year 1899-1900 the consumption was
l.18 gallons per inhabitant. which
makes a considerable advance over
anything we have noted. and this in
crease was the subject of some dis
couraging comment. But since 1900
there has been another decline, and
a very rapid one. to 1.01 gallon, which
leaves only the years 1880 and 1910
with n lower record in the list that
we have given.
In beer consumption the average for
England and Wales was reported as
follows for the periods named 1901
1880, 80 gallons per inhabitant; 1881
1850, 80 gallons; 1S61-lSS0, SO gallons.
The consumption for the United King.
dom during the year 1899 100 was 1929
gallons, and in 19O6-19O7 IL was only
2I.Sl. There has been falling off,
therefore, in the consumtion of both
beer and spirits that it is remarkable
and gratifying, but tine comparison ex-
tending over long series of years in.
dicates that fluctuations may be ex-
pected rather than n persistent de-
crease with the passing of the de-
cades. 1t is to be hoped. however.
that permanent gains have been made
for temperance throughout the coun-
try. and ii appears. at any rate, that
liquor dealers have met with discour-
agement in their trade. for In ten
yeais the brewers licenses have de
creased from S,305 to 1885, and the H.
censes to traders In intoxicants from
233.702 to 222.394.
