The Working Man and the Liquor Traffic

capital invested is required to furnish employment
to wage-earner and dollar OF capital purchases
only fraction twelve cents worth of material an
nualy Taking the liquor manufacturing business of
the United States whole $1,000 of the capital is
required to give employment to Wage-earner, and
each dollar of invested capital buys only fraction
fifteen cents worth of material yearly. In other
words, SO far its being of support, as is
claimed by its friends, the liquor business of this
country does not begin to purchase its fair share of
marketable labor, but is engaged in destroying far
as is possible the efficiency of the labor purchased by
other industries.
A conservative estimate places the annual drink
bill of America ST ,8ooooo,ooo This is about the
amount spent each year for bread and clothing
Turn the spent for liquor into purchas
ing channels for the necessities of life and it is at
apparent that the increased activities and the enlarged
output consequent upon the increased demand for
these necessities would at open up much larger
market for labor than be possibly supplied by the
liquor industry.
There are but 62,o2o wage-earners employed in
the liquor industry according the statistics of 1911
The increased output of bread and clothing alone
necessary to supply the demand occasioned by the
pouring into these industries the nearly $2ooooooooo
spent for liquor would SO completely absorb this
handful of wage that the liquor business
would be missed. Indeed it is safe assump-
ton that only would the enlarged market for labor
absorb all the wage-earners now employed in the
liquor business, but it would emphasize the demand
for labor because the proportion of wageearners to
the amount of capital invested in the manufacture of
bread and clothing is nearly eight times larger than
that of the liquor traffic
Of course, the question will be at raised,
"What is to become of the army of bartenders saloon
keepers and statesmen who depend upon the liquor
traffic for their support" The is clearly
obvious that to give it superhuous. It is This
army would be readily absorbed in the distribution
of the enlarged output would the wageearners in
its manufacture.
In the face of these facts it seems preposterous
that reasonable people should seriously consider the
destruction of the liquor traffic to the
workingman. In this connection quote Chicago
trade paper the relation of the saloon the work
ingman, which says that the liquor traffic causes sui
cides homicides, sorrowcides and burnt-outnsdes,
and so on

Hereafter, when there are two or more
local candidates in this city, against an
Outsider for county office, the voters
will be justified IN voting for the out
slider. Twice in recent years, too many
candidates in this city for the same
office, has resulted in the defeat Of a
Watertown man. Ii we ever expect TO
