INGERSoLL'S DENUCIATION
@p, OF ALCOHOL

In a speech delivered before 8
jury in a liquor case. the late Robert
G. Ingersoll said:
Il am aware that there is preju.
dice against any man who manufac-
lures alcohol. | believe that from
the time it issues from the coiied
and poisonous worm in the distillery
until it empties into the jaws of
death, dishonor and crime, it de-
moralizes everybody that touches it.,
from the, source to where it ends.
do not believe anybody can contem
plate the object without being preju-
diced against the liquor crime.
Alive have to do, gentlemen,
is to think of the wrecks on either
bank of the stream of death, of the
suicides, of the insanity, of the
ignorance. of the desttution, of the
little children tugging at the faded
and withered breasts of weeping
and despairing mothers, of wives
asking for bread, of men of genius
it has wrecked, the men struggling
with imaginary serpents. produced
by this devilish thing; and when you
think of the jails, Of the aims houses,
of the asylums, of the prisons, of
the scatfolds upon either bank, | do
not wonder that every thoughtful
man is prejudiced against this
damned stuff called alcohol In
temperance cuts down youth in its
vigor, manhood in its strength. old
age in its weakness. 1t breaks the
fathers heart, bereaves the doting
mother, eXtinguishes natural affec-
ton, erases conjugal love, blots out
filial attachment, blights parental
hopes, brings down mourning age in
sorrow to the grave. 1t produces
weakness, not death, not life; it
makes wives widows; children Or
phans; fathers fends, and all of them
paupers and beggars. 1t feeds rheu-
matism, invites cholera, imports pes
thence and embraces consumption.
II covers the land with idleness,
misery and crime, 1t fills the jails,
supplies your alms-houses, and de.
mands your asylums. 1t engenders

| hibitory legislation, the finding Of
an investigation by the Interstate
! Commerce Commission, decision on
which was rendered June 20, 1911, ,
is especially significant
The case grew out of complaints
about express charges and the Com
mission in filing its report, com
mentrd on the growth of the mail
order liquor business, which began
about twenty-five years ago.
"A that time it was Of small pro
portions, said the report, very few
packages being shipped. and those
only 80 a short distance. 1t was the
spread Of the prohibition movement
that gave vitality to this character
Of traffic in liquor The report
continues that as dealers were driven
out Of business, they settled on the
outskirts of prescribed territory and
shipped liquor into it, The report
estimates that the entire extent of
the business, based on figures pre-
sented by the Southern Express
Company, that the entire volume
of this traffic going entirely to con
sumers and not to dealers, is in eX-
cess of 10000, 900 gallons per year"
Referring to the vile brands Of
liquor thus dispensed, the report
says: while 1t is not the function
of this Commission to be influenced
in its conclusions by the moral aspect
of the question, it is impossible not
to recognize in this traffic one of the
