If CHICAGO CLOSED SALOONS.

iF CHICAGO CLOSED SALOONS. =
The dire calamity that would befall
Chicago were its 1900 saloons to be
closed and the 10000 men engaged in
the liquor business In that city we're
to be thrown out of employment, Ia
constantly being urged by the advo-
Gates of personal liberty. In an open
letter to the Chicago Tribune, John
A. Shields. organizing secretary OF
the Progressive national committee,
makes the following pertinent reply
to the argument:

ployment would be furnished to those
engaged in the saloon business and as
many more. in the new channels of
trade opened UP by the money that is
now invested In the saloon business
The making OF car of wheat into
bread will employ seven and one-half
times as much labor, and pay better
wages, than the making of an equal
amount Of grain into beer, and the
finished product will make happier
men and women and better citizens
The United States census bulletin of
manufacturers for Connecticut, recent
ly issued, shows that $1,000,OOO in
vested in the liquor business employs
10l men; the same capital In the
hardware business employs 522, in the
silk business 467, in wooden goods
business SGT, boots and shoes 494, and
SO on down the list, proving conclu-
sively that If this money now tied up
In the liquor business were put into
any one of the $50 leading industries
1t would employ from three to eight
times as much labor.
This same report shows that 500
invested in the liquor business pays
back annually $3.50 in wages; in the
hardware bushes 1t pays back $2S,
In the silk business $19, in the wooden
business $26, in boot and shoe bust

AS WE SEE IT.

AS WE SEE 1T.
Because a man weighted down
with his woes shoots himself once in
a while, would you stop the manu-
facture of guns? Because a man
hangs himself now and then would
you stop the selling of rope? Be
cause a man suicides occasionally by
plunging into the river would you dry
up the streams? Yet because some
fool drinks himself to death, your
temperance fanatics would stop the
manufacture and sale of liquor"
Strange as it may appear, there
are still citizens of this republic,
there are still good temperance peo-
pie" who argue for the regulation Of
the liquir traffic on just such grounds.
We reply: If stopping the manufac-
ture Of guns would increase the hap
piness of the home, If it would reform
and transform our social and political
life as would stopping the manufac-
ture of liquor, we should certainly be
found among the foremost advocates
of that policy. If the prohibition of
rope-selling would give this country
and the whole world such an uplift
as would the prohibition of drink-sell-
ing, we should certainly be anti-rope
advocates. If drying up the streams
would result in good to every man.
woman and child; If 1t would add to
human happiness, and decrease crime,
pauperism and insanity; IL it could
be shown that it is in harmony with
the Divine plan and purpose in the
evolution and redemption of the race,
We should say unhesitatingly, dry up
the streams. So would every other
friend Of humanity.

best to lessen its evil results. The

intoxication that has grown to an
alarming extent. This committee rec.
