Liquor Manufacture and Wages

The sum of $3,500, if invested in the manufacture of liquor, employs one man, and pays $447 in wages. The same amount, if invested in the manufacture of boots and shoes, would employ eight men, and pay $3,387 in wages. In no other branch of manufacture can capital be invested so as to employ so small a number of men, and put into circulation so little money for wage hire.—California Prohibitionist.
