NATIONS LONG DRINK.
Amounted to 1900, 100000 Gallons Of
Alcoholic Beverages In 1906.

An editorial ON "The Nations Drink
Bill" in the current number OF the
American Grocer, says the consump-
tion of alcoholic beverages in the
United States reached high-water
mark last year, amounting to over
1,SOO,OOO,00 gallons, or about 22 gal
Ions for each person, including the
babies. The consumption of beer alone
was nearly 1,7OO,OOO,OOO gallons, or 20
gallons per capita.
"As all of the population are not
users of beer" says the editorial, II
is probable that those who consume
malt liquor each use every year from
rs to 100 gallons"
The cost to the people of the bever-
ages used is said to have been $l,66I,-
0S3,610 last year. Commenting on the
cost the editorial says:
"The country was amazed when the
Fifty-eighth congress appropriated
nearly $1,000, 100000 for the various
branches of the United States govern
ment, while the people do not vince
at spending nearly $1,500,O00,OO0 every
year for alcoholic beverages.
That sum is one-fifth the total
value of all of the farm products Of
the nation, estimated by Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson at $7,O00,000, 900.
"The nations liquor bill is $1,450,-
100000; its corn crop of 3,000,000,00O
bushels is valued at S1167 100000
"The liquor bill is double the value
of the wheat crop; more than twice
the value of the yield of cotton, or
more than the combined value of all
the wheat and cotton grown in the
United States.
"The liquor bill is two and one-half
times greater than the value of the
hay crop"
Regarding the steady increase in
the consumption of alcoholic bever-
ages in this country in recent years,
the writer of the editorial asks:
rs this gain in the use of alcoholic
stimulants due to stronger national
appetite for strong drink, or does the
absorption of 100000 foreigners into
the population every year tend to en-
hance the demand for spirituous
liquors?
"And might not we ask if the in
creasing agitation on the lines Of
socialism, anarchy and labor disputes
be not in measure due to the char
acter of the nations beverages?"
