Declining Liquor Consumption

SPEAKING of the rejoicing of the liquor press over the recent increased manufacture of spirituous liquors, the New York Weekly Witness of December 7 says:—

“The returns from England, Scotland and Ireland, Norway and Sweden, all show big decreases in the consumption of liquors; and the temperance cause has found a new and powerful advocate in the German emperor, whose crusade in the navy against drinking has resulted in a decrease of the consumption of liquor during the years 1906-7-8-9 of eight, twelve, nineteen, and thirty per cent respectively,—a total decrease of fifty-four per cent. It is a dying cause that they are trying to uphold, and they know it.”
