The Tribune is under the impress
sion that Mr.. d. G. Ruby has an idea
that we are afraid to give our readers
a little pure, undcfiled Democratic
doctrine, At any rate, Mr.. Ruby
brought in a copy of the Commoner,
edited and published by Mr.. w. J..
Bryan, and pointing out an article
written by Joseph W. Folk, former
governor of Missouri asked us to take
a go of that and hand it on to our
readers Thinking that an article by
Mr.. Folk might prove of general in
terest and afford the Tribune reaier,
change Of diet, we comply will .,lr
Ruby's request, and also to convince
him that we are not afraid 81 ;g,od
democratic literature Mr. FOXES If
ticc follows:
Democracy is more than a name, it
is religion, the religion of brother
hood among men, the religion of equal
opportunity for all mankind. 1t is
the religion that demands more of the
golden rule and less of the rule Of
gold in government. This is the kind
of democracy that should be fought
that special privilege does not desire.
1t is an open secret that the agents
Of privilege are now endeavoring to
secure control of the democratic party.
AS the chances for democratic success
have become brighter, their efforts to
dominate the party have proportionate-
ly increased They would use the liv-
cry of democracy for their purposes,
and it is the duty of democrats to see
that these interests do not capture the
party name, thereby robbing the peo-
pie of the benefits flowing from tri-
umph of democratic principles.
The record of every candidate should
be carefully examined to see whether
he is so situated as to be able to serve
the public without bias in favor OF
any intrest antagonistic to the public
mo man can serve two masters" and
those whose environment are such as
not to leave them free for the service
of the public should not be supported
by the people. Is a candidate support
ed or opposed by the enemies of the
people? That should be the inquiry
and those who stand for the common
good cannot be far wrong when they
get on the other side, and oppose those
upheld by the agents of privilege.
In an address about three years ago
the late Justice Brewer of the supreme
court of the United States said: MANY
senators and representatives owe theil
places to corporate influence, and tina
influence is exerted under an expecta
ton, If not an understanding, that al
law makers the corporate interests
shall be subserved The danger arise
in the fact that they are so powerful
and that the pressure of so much pow
err on the individual law maker tempt
him to forget the nation and remem
Der the corporation. And the DANCE
is the greater because it is so insid
ious."
The need of the hour is to have mel
who will not forget the people afte
they get into office, and who are unde
obligations only to the people for tn
places they hold. If special interest
are as much benefited by a democrati

into the treasury the splendid sum of
$500 per year. Then they employed an
extra policeman for that section of the
town at salary of SIS per month or
$500 per year. Yet they could not do a
little piece of work on the street with
out a new liquor license, on which they
lost the sum of $500 per year. Such
business is financial idiocv, and would
not be tolerated in anything except a
city government.
1t is financial fake from every stand
point you view it, except that its bloody
dollars do line the pockets of him who
prostitutes his manhood to the low lev
ell of the beastly business. But the in
exorable laws of fate work here as
elsewhere. Statistics show that when
a fortune is amassed by making and
selling alcohol 1t leaves the family be-
fore the fourth generation. 1t is the
most precarious of all callings notwith-
standing its immense profits. The scrip
ture is true, "Your agreement with
death shall be disannulled, and your
covenant with hell shall not stand.
WOE to him that buildeth city with
blood" We pave our streets and con-
struct our sewers with the tainted mon
ey that comes streaming red with hui
man gore from the hands of the saloon
keeper, and then boast of municipal
prosperity, and pirate about civic right
eousness. Every rod of such pavement
has buried under it the crushed hopes
and fondest dreams of some mother for
her darling boy. Tread lightly on it
lest the heart long silent in the embrace
of death feel again the anguish of those
awful hours when to live was worse
than death. Oh Oakland! Fair town,
beautiful for situation. the Joy of

ANARCHY Of THE AMER
|CAN LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Rev. G. R. Williamson. of ST. PauI's
Church, Arraigns the Liquor Traffic.

Temperance sermon preached at st.
Paul's NJ. E. church, Sunday morning,
August 18th, 1911. Text, Isaiah 28:18.
And your covenant with death shall
be disannuled, and your agreement with
hell shall not stand''
Subject: Anarchy of the American
Liquor Traffic "
Continued from last week.
A man bought pig for 81. so and fed
it $40 worth of corn, and then sold the
hog for 5000. He lost money on the
corn, but made ST. on the hog. That
illustrates the condition of the saloons
in Garrett county. The saloon breeds
vice, poverty, disease and crime. 1t
costs taxpayers thousands of dollars an
nually to prosecute the criminals and
care for the paupers; but they are get
ting revenue from the saloons that
breed the criminals and make the pau
pers. A business man that would make
such an Investment as that would be
considered financial idiot.
In a neighboring state it was decided
to pave an extra street in one of the
cities. The worthy council met to con-
slider ways and means by which the nee
cessary funds might be procured. After
much elaboration the wise CD men in
the council said, eve must have more
revenue" So they granted a liquor
license in the part of the city where the
new paving was to be done. This brought
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1911-08-24

breeze IN the summer and the admira-
ton of all who see thee clothed in the
splendors of winter. How long! Oh,
how long! will we sit idly by and witness
scenes indescribably horrible, as this
monster, the liquor traffic, whose stencil
smells to high heaven, and whose i'm
pudence defies the Almighty, goes on
in its relentless work of debauchery and
devastation? Awake! Awake! Oh de-
cent citizenship, and say to this Goliath
of rum, Your days are numbered, you
are weighed in the balance and found
wanting, and by our voice and ballots
we decree you shall curse US no longer. -
The liquor traffic is a waste of capital.
The capital invested in the liquor bus
ness if invested in other industries
would give employment to all our I'M
employed people. For every $25 spent
on drink. $1.0O goes to labor. For every
$25 spent on shoes from So to $40 goes
to labor.
An iron company capitalized at 81, $780,
600 employs 5000 men; brewery with
the same capital employs $50 men or as
the ratio of 2 to 20. The same figures
hold good in a general way when the
traffic is compared with any other legit-
innate business.
The old argument that for years terri
fled the farmers has practically lost its
power, viz: that should the business of
brewing and distilling cease, the farmer
could not find a good market for his
grain. Only an Ignorant man who can t
see through proposition or one who
does not want to see the facts accepts
this any longer. Any fair minded per-
son who will reason moment can readily
see that whenever men drink their fam
lilies do not consume as much food, and
wear as much clothing, and burn as

II 1t did not turn into the path of her
cent girls each year; if it did not make
each year 100, 600 paupers and murder
5000 wives, if it did not create each
year 40, 900 widows, and add 1000 new
murderers to the already long list; if it
did not make 100000 innocent children
orphans, and 100, 900 new criminals, and
capture 100, 900 extra boys to take the
place of the drunkards who die; if 1t did
not do all this and more, we could en-
dure to see 81, 100, 900, 900 squandered.
Think of the crime, the misery, the
want, the woe and the shame that fol-
low in the wake of traffic so merciless
and diabolical.
In New York hotel some time ago
young man made his will and then
committed suicide. Here is the will:
81 leave to society ruined character.
l leave to my father and mother as
much misery as, in their feeble state,
they can bear. leave to my brothers
and sisters the memory of my misspent
life. leave to my wife broken heart,
and to my children the memory that
their father fills drunkard's grave and
has gone to a drunkard's hell" How
many thousands could write similar
will
1t is the function of government to
protect the lives of its citizens. What
ever destroys life is hostile to govern
ment. Liquor is the greatest destroyer
of life. How careful the governments
in regard to other diseases, and justly
so. We have only words of appreciation
for all efforts made to abolish disease
and keep it as far as possible from our
borders. But why not be consistent?

much fuel as they need for comfort anC
responsibility. Thus the grain con
sumed in the manufacture of alcoho
could be easily used in making bread,
which is the purpose for which the Gre
ator gave it to man.
There is an underconsumption of the
necessaries of life in this country, and
an over production of rags, old shacks
instead of homes, jails, almshouses, ETC.,
caused by the existence of the liquor
traffic.
But to pursue further sthe question of
the economic waste caused by the traf-
fic it will be necessary for moment to
glance at the enormity of the business.
Its vast resources can only be COM
pretended by concrete illustrations,
but even then, our ideas of it will be
very incomplete because it is so much
greater than anything else with which
we are accustomed to deal
For every dollar spent on education in
this country we spend seven and three
eleventh dollars for drink.
Enough money is spent each day in
the United States for drink to build a
town of l, us houses costing 81. 100 each.
Granting an average of five per fam
lily, each of these towns would have a
population of 8,575.
In addition there would be enough
money left to make an allowance to
every one of these homes of $3.50 for
furniture, $500 for food, $40 for cloth
ing and $25 for shoes.
Or in a year there could be built a
city with this money, worse than was
ted, miles wide and 500 miles long
containing population of 2,683,075
souls.
Let US look at this enormous waste
from the standpoint of the labor ques-
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1911-08-24

ton. BY way of a casual remark in pass
ing let say me that back of most of the
labor troubles in these days is the liquor
question. Settle this problem of our
industrial life and the labor question
will also be practically settled
Our national liquor bill approximates
81, 100, 900, 900 per year. This sum would
employ $500, 200 men for 300 days at
$3.50 each per day. Its effects upon
economics is identically the same as if
for each year the right arms of $780,
600 men, working for 300 days at 81 so
per day, were cut off and the govern
ment undertook the responsibility of
feeding them and their families. From
a question of dollars and cents it
is the same as if every year $500, 900
men became incapacitated, becoming
entirely dependent upon others for the
living they received.
So besides the yearly loss of the
81, 100, 900, 900 to the living scale, there
is the loss of men to production, increas-
ing in ratio with the consumption of in
toxicants. AS these men fall by the way
side, others must produce for them, and
as a result there is second effect upon
the law of production more serious than
the first. The greatest loss as we shall
see later is not to the national bread
bill.
If the mere waste of money were all
we could endure it. A nation with the
great resources and vast commercial
interests of our splendid domain can
survive in spite of great economic
waste.
Oh yes, if it did not scar the earth
each year with 100000 new made
graves and send as many souls into
eternity without God and without
hope; if it did not cause 5000 suicides;
