How the Profits are Made.
It rarely ever ocourres to a mai
who buys a gallon of whiskey, tha
the profits are realized by the dig
tiller, the wholesale and retail deal
er, over and ioye the actual cost
including the government revou4
which consists almost entiroly o
adulterations.
Everybody knows tbAteach gal
lon of whiskey7goes to swell th
tremendous wholosao and rotail
traffic in whiskey, from the time ii
leaves the distillery until it roaches
the consumer, pays a good profit.
Very few people who drink whis.
key, though, pluso to consider
that this profit comes. not from
pure whiskey, but from some other
source. -
The following facts written out
for the Star by one of its most in
telligont subscribers, show this com
4 lusively:
"The revenue on a gallon of
whiskey is $1.10, en two gallons,
$2.20. Only two gallons of whis
key is allowed to be made to a
bushel of corn, which is worth 75c
or $2.95 for both; two jugs at 10c
each, makes $3 15 for all, and as it
* can be sold for $1.50 per gallon, or
two gallons for $3.00, we hove the
strange fact of the whiskey bi-ing
sold at less than cost by 15c. Now
as a metter of fact, we know that
distillers, wholesale and retail
dealers, all wake a profit, and the
balance is adulteration. "
This .profit therefore in the first
instance, is paid by all consumers,
high and low, rich and poor, in
coin of the realhn, constituting the
purchase price of liquor.
It is paid in the second place, by
different persons in various and di.
vers ways.
The unfortunate man who has
become a slave to the drink habit,
has lost all sense of pride and is
already deep in the mire, coutri.
butes his part by sinking himself
that much deeper in the pit of in.

Thbe dear'st price, though, paid
ini this currency to the whiskay
Sra fhiccomnes from our young men
anid boys who are so foolish as to
cultivate the habit.
4 The taste for whiskey is not a
natural one, but in every instane
a cultivated taste, when once,
though, it gets its lhold on a boy, it
is there for life, some boys may
have the pride and manhood tc
control it but it is always a battle
to the death. Why create, there

* It is the rarest thing in the
world, though, that a young man

nine cases out of one hundred the
result is a ruined life.
