An intemperate man came to me one day and said : "Mr. Perkins, this problem will ruin this State. It will rain our business houses." "Now let's examine this a little," said I. "If a Kansas farmer brings a thous­ and bushels of corn into Topeka, he gets how much for it?" "Four hundred dollars," answered my friend. "Now, if they take this thousand bushels to Peoria, how much whisky will It make?" "Four thousand gallons." "And this whisky is worth how much?" ' "Oh, it will be worth about f4,60rf." "And if the whisky should come back to Kansas you would hare to pay about f4,600 for it." "Yes, more. We'd hare to pay about •5,000 fpr it." "Would it be worth anything to your eHasens?" "No; I suppose it would cause a great deal of idleness and crime. Itwould hurt as. I never did think whisky was a pos­ itive benefit. I " "Well, how mad will it hrirt you?" I asked. T "Oh, I can't tell. I " "Well, I'll tell you. You would be di- lwetiy out of pocket just f4,600; and in­ directly, it would cost Kansas, in idleness and crime caused by the 4,000 gallons of whisky--about $20,000. It would take 16,000 men a day apiece to drink it up, if they drank a quart a day. The loss of 16,000 days' labor to Kansas would be #20,000, wouldn't it ? " "Dreadful!" exclaimed my friend. "I never heard it put in that way. I see it all plainly now. I'll never say anything about prohibition damaging Kansas Again." MYee," I said, "if Kansas can save $25,000 on every thousand bushels of <o» by letting it go over to Peoria, the more she is damaged in that way the richer she will become. But in Kansas the poorhouses will be ruined by prohibi­ tion. Your poorhouses and jails will be­ come empty. Think of a poorhouse with aot a soul in it but the poormaster! Think of a jail without a convict--poor bankrupt jails and poorhouses!" ELI PEBKIN8. K. eStJMIGCR, ral Auctioneer.
