Leaving out the moral, aoetel and TagniuSTiiiprcta of the quoatlon alto' Rther. and looking at It from a fltten- H*1 point of view alone, the liquor trnf- «c not only doe. not contribute to the wealth of the government, but It to tho most univise Investment and the coat- iwt sml heaviest financial burden that can possibly be lmcoaad upon the poo- ri,. Let us examine a few facto. When It Is aald that the American >Aple spend annually one billion four hundred million dollars for Intoxicat ing liquors, let It not be Imagined for a moment that thte la th* entlro coat et ths liquor truffle to our poopta. It Is just the beginning. It thte amount did cover the entire coot It would en tail sreat financial loaa upon na. From the beat aoutcoa of Information It»shown that Uia total revenue, re- Cited from the traffic annually are iai.dno.ooo. Thte tak« from 11.404,- HOMO, leave, a loaa to the govern- n»tt ot ll.lfO.OOO.OOO. Thla loaa la In. mated when wa deduct from the rav- snuss the coat of collecting the aunts. It Is Impossible to eeparalt the gov- sniMoi from the paopla. They are oe». Whatever enriches th* people sn- riches th. government, and whatever Impoverishes tha people Impoverishes ths government. This i„tpc sum of nearly a billion THThalf of dollars IWiaKeh lrem th* iscksts of the people and about a hairier of n million la returned. Noa. |( thla Immense aunt of money ess invested In our liquor by out Mchbora across th* seas. than. Indeed, vould we he making money. It would ha a mean way, however. Dr Silas c.

In piovidtng for tho Insane, pau* I»rs fin.1 criminal* produced • by the lluurr traflle 114.50. Suppose It costs Hie government to per cent to collect 'he revenues, we have annually $177,- roO.OOo paid into our treasuries. Thla -‘•ultlhjled by 141-2 gives us an sddl HotiM 'expense of 14,571.800.000, which added i„ the fln,t large lum, not to enormous when compand with thla, wc Mm •MJEMmm token from th* pocket* ot the people and loaa than I par cent returned In revenues.

Let tho bare feet bo shod, U10 thinly clad supplied wltb needed raiment, the occupants jf hov- ete and but. furnished Tlth decent shelter, and th* half-atarved furnished with wholesome food, then the cry of overproduction would be silenced. Lift, log thla financial burden, and diverting IhM* large aurni of money from this unholy traffic and applying them to agricultural and Induatrtal pursuits, would provide every one with th* com forts of life, and a caac of want would ba nlreoat unhoard of. It la atattd that the wealth of th* United mates la In- creasing at the fate of f11,000,004 dally. The more than 14.004,000,004 drawn from the people annually by this ac cursed traflle mrsni a loss to the peo ple of over 114.000.000 dally. The whisky traffic la the worst ene my to every good thing. , Por ft contributed In foreign mis sions 1254.50 la spent for liquor. For avery dollar spent for public education 17 la spent for whisky. Thus putting a premium on Ignorance, w* spend over 17 to corrupt and debauch the manhood and womanhood of our county, where we spend ft to educate and reflne. How long, oh, how Idng. •hall our ayes be closed .’ Shall ws grope In darkness and blindness for ever? No. thank Ood. a better and brighter day Is dawning! The following facts show our present awful condition: The population of-the United States Is M.tOO.OOO. The number of church members Is 30,000,000. The number ot liquor dealers Is 250,000. Is It not a burning shame that a quarter of a mil lion Uquor dealers have more Influence and power In shaping the legislation of states and our nation than twenty mtlllons 'of professed followers of the lowly Nasarene? Were the church members as true to the church and their vows as are It woult Every liquor dealer to an active worker In hie causa, while thousands and hundreds of thousands of church mom here are Indifferent and lukewarm and many are working In the camp of the enemy. Thera Is one liquor dealer every f20 souls, one church member to every four persons. Ths Uquor dealer has more influence over his 220 than has the Chunter, over hi* four, other words, the Influence of a liquor dealer te 50 times greater than that uf church member. Need we wonder that our land te filled with criminate; With murder, •nd riot, and rape, and lynching!? Th* wonder Is that we have no more. Let every Chmtlan. every good cttlsen, every father and mother, unite in one mighty, persistent, unyielding effort against the greatest enemy to the home sutd to tho church, to society and to our oura. and we will aava to posterity the "home of the brave and the tend of the free." Tho tight must be waged In th# name of the Lord Jesus, and In I he power ot the Holy Spirit, and ere long the tri umphant army of our God will drive out Ignorance and vice from the home tend, and will bring the nations of the world Into the family of God.
