Mr. Hat greaves takes tiie Urines of Massachu setts jind Maine to chow how a prohibitory law dties, sf f er all, reduce the < I linking; but it is not our purpose to ar gue this question. What we desire to show, is, that, with an annual expenditure of $(*0,000,000 for liquors in the United Btnte**—and all the figures we give are based upon official statistics—it is not to be wondered at that the times are hard and the people poor. Not only this vast sum is wasted; not on ly Ihe capital invt sled is diverted from good uses, and the indu-trv involved in production taken from ihebenetlcent pur suit h, but health, morality, respectability, industry, and life are destroyed. Sixty thousand Americans annually lie down in a drunkard’s grave.

With sooo,ooo,uou saved to the country annually, how long would it take to make the United Slat *8 not only rich, but able to meet, witln ut disturbance and distfess, the revulsions in business t* which all nations are liableV Twenty five years of absolute abstinence from the consumption of useless liquors would stive to the country tliteui billion of dol lars end make us ihe richest naiion on the glob*'. Not only this sum—beyond tin* imagination to compr* hend—would be gave*!, but all the abominable consequence of misery, diseHse. disgrace, crime and death, ’hat would How from tneconsump tion of such an enormous amount of poi sonous fluids, would be saved. And yet temperance men are looked upon us dis turbers and fanatics! And we are ad jured n tto bruig tunperanoe into pol itics?
