The Deiuun of Drixlfc, Statistics said to be carefully compiled, fthovr that 60,000 l'ves are annually de- * »fcroyed by intemperance in the United States. One hundred thousand men and women are yearly Bent to prison in consequence cfatrong drink. . ^ Twenty thousand children are yearly Mat to the poor house for the same reason. Four hundred suicides and thn © hun­ dred murders are another of , the pearly ^ Ireits of intemperance, ^ ,/ J;/ Two hundred thousand orphans are fceqneathed each year to public and pri­ vate charity. Two huadred million dollars are yearly expended to produce this shocking «»o'int of crime and misery, and as much yijkjjbfaii tost from the same. "30 The Question. ? The question, to be determined con- csmiug the sale and use of intoxicating drinks, is not whether it is profitable; hut is it right? Is it right to nurse ap- jietites into existence that the wisest rannot control ? Is it right to bind men in chains that the strongest cannot Itreak? Can it be right for a man to de- Sire his living from that which debases the minds of his customers, and destroys tbe happiness of their homes; which makes wives afraid of their husbands; *£d children ashamed of their fathers; "which is the cause of nine-tenths of the 3>aupers and crime in our land; which ac­ complishes all this at once, and does it •without ceasing!
