The Nation’s Drink Bill

A sad fact—and yet it is true—of the adult population of this country to-day one person in every fifteen is a drunkard. The rum bill of the country is over $3,000,000 every day, and more than $1,000,000,000 every year. If this money was spent for the necessaries and comforts of life, it would not only give employment for those at present engaged in the liquor traffic, but also for 1,700,000 others.—Selected.
