How LICENSE INJURIES sUsINEs,

To the Merchants and Business Men of
Wilmington;
The liquor license advocates have in
formed the public that the general dis
bursements for all purposes by men en-
gagged in the liquor business in Della
ware aggregate a total OF S5,2113SS. 80
Let us assume that these figures are
correct.
II they spend this vast amount of
money, it is fair TO presume that they
do not spend all that they receive They
will probably spend-say two-thirds Of
the amount actually received. If such
is the case, then they must draw from
this community fully $500 10000 which
is diverted from the legitimate channels
of trade. such as the building trades,
the clothing trade and other staple
lines including hats, shoes. dry goods,
furniture, groceries, bread, meats.

The liquor men ask the question Can
the business men Of Delaware afford to
dispense with this trader" We reply
that they do not need 10 dispense with
it,; they can secure a much larger share
of trade directly from the working
people themselves, II they desire 10
