The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-30

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 24-(Specal cor
respondence) -"This is not battle in which we
are engaged. 1t is long and bitter war; The
issue will not be determined until the last battle
is fought and the last victory won and the sur
render by one side or the other finally brings
peace"
Thus spoke Judge Artman in his lecture trip
across the continent. Four successful legal bat
ties were fought and won in Indiana last year,
and the enemy refused to continue the battle
by appealing to higher court. In one $40 damage
suit "skirmish," the Indiana supreme court side
stepped" the issue and plead "lack of jurisdic-
ton" but refused to squarely meet the enemy.
In October of last year the "seat of war" was
of the Business Mems Association of Indianapo-
lis Mr.. c. E. Newlin, was sent to Atlanta to
prepare the details of case to defend the con-
stitutionalty of the new Prohibition law when it
should go into effect on January 1. The CO.
operation of prominent liquor was secured
for friendly suit into which Mr.. Newlin hoped
to inject some questions upon which it was de-
sired real decision should be given along the
lines of the dicta before rendered by the federal
Supreme Court as to the inherent bad character
of the saloon and the lack of common law right
to sell intoxicants. When the firm of attorneys
retained in Atlanta began to investigate the case
they discovered that the peculiar constitution OF
Georgia, granting the power to the legislature
ito amend, modify or annul any charter or privi-
lege" left no ground on which the liquor men
recent visit to Atlanta Mr.. Newln could dis
cover no way to secure suit as the judges were
even refusing the liquor men temporary in
junction. This made a change of base of opera
tons necessary.
The Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent of
the International Reform Bureau, accord
ingly instructed to file a remonstrance against
the granting of license for saloon in the
magnificent new Union Railroad Depot, just com
pleted in this city. The remonstrance was filed
in the name of both the Business Mems Asso-
citation of indianapolis and the International Re-
form Bureau of Washington, so as to avoid a
possible ruling that outside party or organi-
cation had no authority to demonstrate.
The remonstrance was filed on January 10, just
one year and three days after the filing of the
first remonstrance at indianapolis. The remon-
STRANGE was overruled and the license for the
Union Station was granted January 16, after the
filing of the most voluminous petitions represent
ing more than 10000 residents of Washington
praying that this magnificent public building be
not thus degraded

and four thousand and seventy-two bushels of
other material used by some distilleries in the
state of Wisconsin and not identified in govern
ment statistics.
1t is manifest that this item is also generous
exaggeration.
Ratio of Cost and Production
While discussing the matter of the ma
terial used in the production of liquor an exceed
ingy interesting fact is worthy of notice In
1850 the ratio of the cost of material to the value
of production in the business of manufacturing
liquors was 90 In 1900 that ratio had sunk to
20 The table by census years is as follows:

Labor's Share :.
Let us next examine the claim of the liquor
dealers that they pay labor producers only"
$54,542, 600 Of course, the figures upon which
this is based are wholly in the custody of the
liquor interests and are not open to investiga
ton However, when we discover from the cen
sus that in 1900 the wages paid to laborers in the
manufacture of liquor amounted to only $2S,005,-
4s4, we are warranted in suspecting that another
Misrepresentation or exaggeraton has been per-
petrated.
Another interesting fact merits passing notice.
According to the census figures the ratio of wages
paid to value of production in liquor manufac-
turing has dropped, in the case of distilled Ii
ouors from .O69 in 1850 to OF in 1900, and in
the case of malt liquors from is in 1860 to 10
in 1900
1t is not unimportant, too, to recall the fact that

Facts to Insist Upon
In dealing with this document a whole, four
facts need to be persistently forced before the
public:
l. Accepting the liquor dealers statement as
to the amount of grain used in the manufacture
of liquor we find them distinguishing them the
benefit of the fraction-one hundred and tive
million bushels of grain. This sinks into insig-
nihcance when it is compared with the total grain
crop of the United States which amounts, con-
siderng the five great cereals alone, to $780,
100000 bushels Placed in tabular form the
showing is as follows
Total grain production of the United
States, bushels .......... 4,e4o,ooo,ooo
Total amount of gain used in the
manufacture of liquor, bushels. -. 105,O0O,0OO
The farmer may be invited to consider that the
liquor manufacturer buys one bushel-often only
a cheap and damaged grain at that-out OF every
forty-six which the farm produces. The farmer
may be also invited to consider how much larger
market for his grain would be found in the
homes of the thousands who now Empower
ished bv drink, if the drink business de-
stroyed.
H. Accepting for the sake of argument, with
denial of its accuracy, the liquor dealers total
of 1854, s51 ,097 as his contribution to "produc-
ing sources" the public attention must be
fixed upon the fact that over against this must
be set the enormous sum OF money that the
liquor business takes from the people.
