A BIT OF HISTORY.

Experience has shown that the clos.
ing up of the saloons and the outlaw.
Ing Of the liquor traffic has always
proved a great benefit to every legi.
Innate industry. A chapter in the
history of Ireland furnishes a graphic
illustration. During the years 1SO9-1O
and 1894 the distilleries Of Ireland
were stopped on accoun Of the fam.
Inc. on the ground that these distil.
leries wasted the grain that might
otherwise be used by the people as
food. The results were surprising.
The consumption Of spirits fell off
nearly one-half. On the other hand,
there was a tremendous increase in
the demand for dry goods, blankets,
cotton goods, sugar. hardware, crock
cry, groceries and other necessities,
thus showing that a year Of scarcity
with prohibition is better than a year
Of plenty without it.
