The following ideas thrown out
by Hon. B. E. Russel now in
Washington, in a communication
to his paper, the Bainbridge Deni
ocrat are of great im|>ortancc. If
adopted and carried into ctfect in
this county, it will resnit in a
great saving not only of the can

of tlie order, peace and welfare of
our community:
“I notice that the elections for
county olticcrs in Decatur were
exceedingly close, and ‘.he vote
large. The canvass was no doubt
characteristic of all “scrub races'
n Decatur county. I think it is
now time for the people of the
county to sec that the best, most
pleasant and safest plans for elec-
lions lie in organization, and bere
after put out its own candidates.
We now have a Democratic na
tional administration, and our
county has everything to gain by
preserving our party Identity.

The sale of intoxicating liquors i that seventy five per cent, of litem
has long since lost all claim to; are the result of drink, and tlie
public support on moral and social dram shop is the int’l in which
considerations. Intelligent and
good men are unanimous in de
claring it a nuisance in both these
rcs|tects. To day the sole ground
on which it appeals for a legal ex
istence is tlie financial consider a
tion. “Business will be injured"
if the sale of liquor is prohibited;
and this cry, baseless as it is
foolish, is echoed by both defen
ders and ajiologists of a cruel and
destructive tariff, which not only
preys upon every legitimate busi
ness, hut paralyzes in myriad in
stances I Ini-e for whom and by
whom business exists. If we
think carefully over this whole
matter we shall easily arrive at
tlie following underlying princi
pies:
(a) Trade or business is due to
tlie relationship ami supply. Pen

pic set themselves up to supply
those needs, and thus trade
springs up, and business is tian
Irink grinds down its victims
from honest, sober, orderly and
industrious citizens into criminals
of every grade. Close the dram
shops, keep people sober and in
dustrious. and the earning power,
and with it the trade of the coun
try would be vastly increased.
3. The dram shop crippled (he
productive poicer of every indus
try. Here is a factory employing
five him Ired hands. The raw
material comes in. the finished ar
ticle goes out and supplies the
wants of society. When docs the
factory do its best work? When
the bands are industrious, steady
and skillful. Whatever assists in
these respects helps the factory.
A provision store is set up near

What is the difference lietween
the two? Jones was considerate
enough to take his Hiring for no
eturn, and harmed nobody.
.Smith was not contented with
simply taking his living, but
harmed everybody lie coUid. If
ho had given brown pa|ier instead
of wliisky, lie would have been as
innocent a man as Jones. Jones
was a harmless pan per; Smith
was a destructive pauper—that if
all the difference.
Is it good for the business ot
this country that it has to support
ten thousand able bodied men and
their families, and. in addition, to
bear tile burden of taxation and
ruin they inqxvse?
“But.” say tlie dram sellers,
“you are not fair; do you see that
we must cat, wear clothes, have
hollies built, and so arc continual
ly buying and helping trade?
Surely our custom is something,
and there are ten thousand of us
in Canada!"

clothes and live in houses if you
were Rot dram sellers? Surely

Eilnration by the (ievenimeiit.
The Macon Telegraph lias the
following suggestions in Conner
tion with the Blair Educational
bill, which was before Congress:
* * Gifts carry with them
unexpressed but iron clad eondi
lions, from which there is no es
cape. So far as Georgia is con
cerned, she is perfectly able and
willing to educate her own chil
dren.
Moreover, that education i>
being bestowed as rapidly as its
beneficiaries arc capable of reeciv
ing it. We want no vast stiinu
bint placed under our school sys
tent. It is within the power ot
any child in Georgia to day, who
has the time, to obtain the rudi
ments of an education, and fur
lher than this it is not safe nor
desirable to go. If tiie labor of a
child is necessary to his own or
family's support, it is better poli
the imitations ofliunian life.
There were 135 homicides com
mitted in Georgia last year—near
ly one for every countv in the
stale. In Ohio there were IS!),
but in the prohibition States of

the better. It is just as impor
tant for a state to work out its
salvation as for the individual;
just as important for one to pre
serve its independence as the

Now. men have to live in hov
els. because von get their money
(c) The business done will bej new machinery for tlie factory;
exactly in proportion to the
amount that people want and arc
able to pay fir. Ifone wants $100
worth of clothes and can pay for
them, the clothier ami lie will do
just that amount of business. Il
not, then they will do less, and
similarly with all other transac
tions.
(d) Business is “helped" when
ihe demand for articles is increas
.*d, when the ability to pay for
them is made greater, and when
the production of them is made
easy and cheap. Businrss “in
jured" when the demand is lessen
ed, the ability to pay diminished,
and the cost ol production increas
ed.
In the light of the foregoing
principles, the following pnqxisi
-.ions are clearly of the utmost im-
jxirta ncc:
1. The dram shop decreases
demand fur legitimate articles ol
trade. The great staples of trade
are wh: t is eaten, worn or used to
live in and work with. If the
dram shop really “helps" busi
n< ss it must make people eat
more, wear more, and use more
buildings and tools, lint experi
•ucc proves the very reverse of this
to lie true. It is the work of the
Irani shop tnteneh men to tipple
and drink, and the more they tip
ple and drink, the less as a rule.

though

family

without the requisite supply ot
bread, dollies and the usual com
lorls of home. As the dram shop
gels hi Id of a roan—the provider
fora family—the baker and hutch
er, the grocer and clothier, tin
tinsmith and bookseller, and all
traders sell him less and less.
The bottle is sent out for whisky
where formerly the basket went
for bread and meat.
Sup|x>se a trader bad a full va
riety store, and lias fifty sober
working men with families for his
customers. These will spend on
an average $300 each with tli
nv food, clothes, or comfort fin
the men—any stimulus to noble
ambition and honest effort?
None whatever. The drain shop
does not deal in such things, li
simply opens its bar, displays its
drinks, beckons, morning, noon
and night, to the passing work
men, anil with siren voice invites
them in. Il grinds its music,
flashes its lights, proffers its
games, and allures the workman
from his home of rest or his place
of labor.
One alter another drops ii,
tipples and drinks; the liabi,
grows, tlie appetite forms, disor
ler increases, carousal become*
the order; less of time, drunker
dchaut Ii and crime follow. Then
is a h ss in the industry, steadi
ness and skill of the workmen.
: lie work is confused, lags in ib-
partment after department, an I ii
a little lime the factory curses
the drain shop as its worst cue
my. So with every productive in
diistrv. Keep the drain shoj
away, and it docs its host work
place the dram shop by its sid<
and its best work is impossible.
The dram shop is the enemy b
every productive industry; it-
whole influence tends to hinder,
demoralize, confuse and defeat the
best possible results of factory,
foundry and farm.
4. The dram shop burden:
business irith hexry taxes, Busi
ness is always better, other things
being equal, when it is most
lightly taxed. Heavy taxes drive
away business. Take your tax
bill and scan its items:
Item 1. For schools—“A just,
fair lax,’’ you say. and pay il wi.
I lingly. As people grow mote in
i lelligent, pt os peri tv increases, aim
j property is safer.
Item 2. For fire department
Just think a moment. Ib>w many
fires occur from drunken careless
ness? A victim fresh from the
dram shop staggers into a barn oi
out bouse and tries tu light bis
pipe. A blaze starts, and before
it is put out, thousands of dollars
; lost, and so much expense to the
trader, and so be will do a busi department. Mark a grxnlh
ness of SI 5.000 per year. Now
let the drum shop come, and teach
all those to tipple an 1 drink.
Will the fifty tippling workmen
take more or as much from the
trailer’s store as they did when
sober? Nay, blit they will now
spend on ail average of $50 a year
in the drain shop, and therefore
have but $250 to spend with tin-
trader, and his business shrinks
from $15,000 to $12,500. The
dram shop lessens tlie demand for
the trader's wares, and increases
the demand for strong drink.
The dram shop is, therefore, a
constant and deadly enemy to
business inasmuch as always and
inevitably it decreases Hie de
mand for the legitimate articles
of H ide.
2. The drain shop decreases
the purchasing capacity of the
people. It is quite plain that the
purchasing capacity of a commu
nity is measured by its earning
power. How then does the dram
shop affect theearnin;
community?
The first result of the dram
shop is to cause loss of time, and
idleness. Men spend hours in
tippling, when they ought to lie at
proportion of your fire tax to the
credit of the dram shop.
Item 3. For poor. Ninety out
of every one hundred paupers and
occasional poor are so because ol
the drain shop. Mark ninety per
cent, of your poor tax to that in
slitiitioti.
Item 4. For police. What con
stitutes the main work of tlie po
lice in our tows and cities? Look
ing after the dram shops and their
products. Vineland, with twelve
thousand people, pays only one
hundred dollars per year for po
lice. Why? Vineland has had no
dram shop for the last twenty one
years. Mark a large part of your
lax for police to the dram simp.
Item 5. For criminal expenses.
Whence come criminals? The cx
perience of judges, sheriffs, and
grand juries, and ihe investiga
lions of parliaments and legisia
lures, go to prove that seventy-
five per cent, of all punishable
criminals are graduates of lilt-
power of a drain shop. Credit a large part
| of your tax for criminal expenses
to that institution. Now, what
have you? You have the fact
staring vou in the face that the
