into the use of liquor. Says he:
An examination of the statistics
showing the Importation of all
kinds of liquors into the United
States for the last ten years reveals
some surprising facts. During that
time the country has grown phe-
of the cheaper grades of liquors,
such as beer, ale, claret, and the
other cheaper Rhine wines, the i'm
portation has kept pace with the
lation, and the vastly growing i'm
migration. But there has been no
such commensurate increase in the
Importation of champagne and
years have shown a small increase,
some have shown a positive de-
crease. and the decrease has been
marked during the past year. was
at loss to account for this re-
markable falling off in a period of
increasing wealth and prosperity.
