Ami lOO.Ouo t hales is one eight ii, or 1 g percent r | of our rots on crop. It is not too jjinucii to say, perhaps, that we j spent the whole prolit of the large i* | crop ot last year lor whiskey and 11 l>eer ami hard drinks ol that sort 11?while complaining loudly of f | t he hard I inies. I W e are not preaching temper* * ance, hut only considering lacts of s record. And there are some others e worthy of consideration. , The average family is estimated - at live persons, and the head ot 1 it usually does the drinking for 'i the rest. Some women and some minors drink a little, hut they s need not be taken into the account. - Of the population of the State, it may ho assumed, 250,000 or s one-fifth represent the men, t strictly speaking. and th? drink. - ing class, broadly speaking. On >' the basis of this estimate, the to1 tal expenditure lor whiskey and such beverages last year represented $10 per capita for the ; adult male population, the working and money making element. It was a pretty heavy tax on the r I wealth and industrial resources ol 81 State, and was none the less c | hurtful tor being sell imposed and ^ I almost wholly wasted.
