If the liquor industry ad have

DESTROYS Home Markets

The farmer sells four bushels of
corn to the disti Ter for which he
receives $500 Four bushels Of
corn yield the distilIer sixteen gal
Ions, of whisky. Sixteen gallons of
whisky makes practically 1000
drinks, which, sold at ten cents
drink, costs the consumer 800. If
the consumer would expend this
800 for meat, eggs and butter for
his hungry family, he would at the
same time furnish home market
for 10000 worth of farm products,
1t can readily be seen that the
farmer has, by selling 5000 worth
of corn to the distiller, destroyed
market for 10000 worth o fam
products and thereby lost $9s.O0 by
the transaction. The making cf
corn into whisky instead o making
a market for corn destroys great
home market.
Hogs would not be selling at four
cents per hundred if the drinking
man were buying meat instead of
whisky, and the drinking mans
family would receive vastly more
benefit from 10000 worth of meat
than they, or the man himself,
receives from 10000 worth of
whisky.
