appointed or permitted by government 10 re-
ceive what the people pay, and to keep all but
a meagre percentage OF 1t for their unheipiui
service.
when our own government adds dollar
barrel to the tax on beer the brewer adds that
much TO the price paid by the barkeeper' ana
he adds to the price of drink or shoves the
bottom of his beer mugs little nearer the top
or puts more foam and less liquid into them.
Then prohibitionists do not regard the ma

es fair share paid by the liquor trade for the
eunnort Of government" DR.. Hopkins was
asked.
I'VE certainly do not We insist that the
revenue system is merely partnership OF the
government and liquor, to the governments
constant loss"
And then Dr. Hopkins made an astounding
statement, as follows:
much less than $3.50 100000 year Is the
national revenue Of this country from liquor
drunk: the cost OF this TO the drinkers IS not
less than two and half billion dollars; its cost
n the people is vastly more, and the peoples
loss on account of it is at least FIVE billions OF
dollars a year.
as vour statement Of loss merely given in
round iigures and at random" DR.. Hopkins
was asked. cor have you verified them, or can
they be proved"
These tremendous figures" he replied,
came of the United States Census statistics
for 1910 and estimates based upon these.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-04-11

multiplication, he offers few comparisons as
applying to this country as follows:
Every twelve months the ten million or
more drinkers in the United States pay over
its liquor bars more money than the total OF
gold and silver mined and rninted in this coun-
try in forty years.
Every ten months the direct and indirect
loss and waste on account OF the liquor uafnc
in this country is greater than all the gold
produced in this country since the discovery
of gold in California to the present time.
Since the discovery of gold in California Gin

the yellow metal up to 1899 to pay the Ameri-
can LIQUOR bill alone for sixteen months, not
TO mention the loss and waste caused by this
The figures are:
American drink bill for sixteen months, at
the rate of 1899, Sr,426I99So2.
Production OF gold in California, rS4s-ISsS,
sI,3s4,Isa,oe7.
Since the discovery Of America the entire
production of gold and silver throughout the
world, from 1893 to 1898, inclusive, a period
OF more than 400 years-S2o 48o 748 500
would not pay the drink bill OF this country
for twenty years, on the basis of that bill for
1899.
Every nine months our drink bill exceeds
all the capital Of all the national banks OF
the United States.
Every eighteen months or less our drink
ing population pays for alcoholic beverages
more money than the whole circulating medi-

Waste They cover loss in production, OF
productive time, of productive life and loss IN
care and support All these losses are item
lied in my Reorganization OF Loss, as you
may see," and copy of the book was pro-
duced to show these items.
ut is no wonder" said DR.. Hopkins, that
the British Cabinet became appalled, when II
began to study the facts and figures re-
lating to drink, and found its actual effects
upon life and labor"
DR.. Hopkins has pointed out in Profit and
Loss In Man" how, on the assumption that
we are 100000 people, and that there are
annually eighteen deaths to every one thou
sand persons, and that as DR.. Willard Parker
estimates. 10 per cent of these deaths are
due TO alcoholic drinks, this means 10000
lives given every year as an offering to the
liquor traffic.
The total of soldiers killed In all the four
years of our great Civil War, on both sides
was $4,000, or $4,000 less than this yearly
number.
According to Mulhall the great English stat.
istician, Dr. Hopkins adds, the annual loss Oh
life in all the great wars OF the world-hiteeh
of such-during ninety years ending 1850 was
barely 5o,ooo-4o, 8s4-or considerably unoer
one-third the total OF yearly deaths caused oy
drink in this country alone.
An investigation in Germany some years
ago, cites DR.. Hopkins, revealed that ten

quarts of alcohol, besides the beer, were con-
sumed every year in Germany for every man,
woman and child the empire contained; that
the German Empire spent yearly one-tourth
$3.50, ,ooo) as much for Intoxicating drink
as it did for food $4,000, ,ooo).
Russia has gone dry it is asserted, as re-
suit of the reform efforts and ideals here in the
United States. II appears that DR.. Peter Sem
yonovitch Alexyeef, of Moscow. came TO Can
ada and this country back in 1886 for the in
spection Of hospitals, prisons, etc, and could
not spend nine months on the GRAND without
coming in contact with the liquor problem"
The story is told in the last issue of The Ma
tional Advocate" as follows:
HE was a live man, consecrated to the bet
terrnent Of human conditions. His wife was
with him, and perhaps she helped him to study.
He published book About America in 1883,
in the preface Of which he paid tribute TO the
success Of the fight with conference.-the
temperance movement-and the successful de-
velopment, in all classes of society OF moral
ity and the strict application Of practical NOR
ais
Apparently Tolstoy was his first conspicu-
GUS convert; and the pair of them seem to
have compelled widespread attention to the
temperance question all over Russia. Organ
ization of temperance societies began, and the
reformation was fairly on
In statistics which d.. Hopkins says are
cold, unfeeling figures, there being no senti-
nnent or humanity or politics in addition and

The encouraging thing to the Prohiolton-
lists is that at the beginning OF 1875 theIe
were fifteen states under statewide pronioi-
ton. either by statutory or constitutional pro-
vision:
Alabama. Arizona Colorado, Georgia, Kan
sas. Maine, Mississippi North Carolina. North
Dakota Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, VIZ
GINA. Washington and West Virginia.
Several states will consider prohibition leg
;slation in 1915, among them being Idaho,
South Dakota, Montana, Iowa, MinneSota sno
Arkansas.
Fifteen other states have at some time since
1850 been under prohibition. Several states
have passed, repealed and repassed prohoitory
laws. making a total of forty-hve different
statutory or constitutional provisions tor state
wide prohibition enacted in the United States.
In no case thus Gar, says DR.. Hopkins, where
such law has been adopted has an admins
tration committed TO prohibition as a gov
ornamental policy been placed in power to en-
force the law on the other hand, It has been
turned over to officials who, though often
times personally favorable to such legislation,
have been allied with political parties whose
national policies, and most often whose state
policies, have been opposed to such legisla-
ton.
THE CONSUMER A PRODUCT OF THE
ALCOHOL HABIT.
I'm economic Technology" said DR.. Hop
kins to the writer, "the consumer IS one who
does not earn or produce as much as his keep
ing must cost Therefore he counts IN the
consumer class. The more numerous he is,
the less he benefits the community. He is a
direct creation of the alcohol habit.
THE consumers fill our jals, peniten-
tiares. our institutions for the detective, our
insane asylums. They make taxes imperative
and increasing. They are growing out OF all
proportion to the increase of population Sta
tistics in every state prove this assertion.
"The statement is made that in this country
there are ten millions Of people in actual pow
erty Not one of these poverty stricken can
count as producer. The most reliable fig
ures agree that at least three-tourths OF all
pauperism must be charged to intemperance.
This is logical, for drink leads generally
to want because the habit of it leads naturally
away from work. Every man who drinks
loses from labor an increasing amount OF
time, loses for labor an increasing degree of
taste and loses in labor an increasing degree
Of skill
1.-THE liquor trafics capital invested in liquor
manufacture was S77I,5I6ooo in 1919, and this
capital employed but 62,e2o workers-about 81
to every 100000.
"If employed in the textile mills this Same
capital should have paid wages to over 44s,ooo
workers-rnore than seven times as many.
Take the five great groups of legitimate in
dustries and average their employment of
labor, and the $77I,Oooooo of liquor capital
would employ five times the number Of work
ers that liquor manufacture employs
