LIQUOR MANUFACTURERS
AND LABOR-
We eame across some very curious
and interesting statistics a few days
since in the Irish World which we
condense for our readers. It has been
intimated that the liquors which were
worth to the manufacturers in 1880
$144,000,000 cost the consumers
$700,000,000, says the S. J. Mercury.
What part of every $ 100 of this
$700,000,000 went into the pockets
of the laborers who produced it?
About $2. Now compare this with
the part of every $100 of the retail
price of manufactured products in
general in 1888 which went into the
pockets of the laborers. It is found
that $14 of every $100 of these arti
eles reaches the laborer who produced
then seven times as much as labor
receives in the liquor industry.
If the $700,000,000 spent for liquors
had been spent in miscellaneous in
dustries, labor instead of receiving
$15,000,000 would have had $105,
000,000 or a clear gain of $90,000,
000. But some of the industries pay
much better than the average of the
whole. For instance, of the retail
price of hardware or furniture of every
' $100, $24 went to labor to produce
these fabrics. Of every $100 pr.id
to the retailer for boots and shoes,
$20 went to the laborers who made
thetm. If this $700,000,000 had been
apent Fn industries as profitable to
labor as hardware and furniture, labor,
instead of receiving $15,000,000 would
have been paid $180,000,000 or a clear
gain of $165,000,000.
To put the matter in another light
had the labor employed in manufac
turing liquors been used in promis
cuous manufacturing, instead of giving
employment to 33,639 persons it would
Have given work to 235,823. Or if
it had been used in manufacturing
hardware or furniture it would have
given employment to 404,268 persons.
Thus we see at the first end of the
liquor business the balance is all
aaainst the laborer. When we come
A CENSURABLE BLUNDER.
The Evening Telegram, of Portland,
dated August 16, contains the follow
ing: "The 6 o'clock vest side Southern
Pacific passenger train, (from Corvallis),
on coming into the city last evening,
came near meeting with an accident
which would in all probability have
proved very disastrous. The facts
are as follows:
T. M. Stark, the tin roofer, bought
from Seid Back one of the cottages
standing in front of S. G. Reed's resi
dence, on First street, and was having
it taken from the site to a lot in South
Portland. At 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon the mover had got the house
into Whittaker street, on Second, and
when the men quit work, to prevent
teams from being injured, they ob
structed the street with the heavy
timbers used as trackage for the roll
ers to slide on. These timbers, for
some unknown i eason, lay across the
railroad track which crosses Second
street diagonally at that point, and ex
tended on each side. There were
several of them, and they were very
heavy, being about six inches thick and
ten inches in width. Whpn the even
ing passenger came along, the en
gineer, looking out, saw the obstruction
just in time to stop his train less than
ten feet from the timbers. The train
men then got out, and after removing
the obstruction, the throttle was open
ed, and the train proceeded into town.
The occuirence was witnessed by a
number of parties, and, considering
the fact that it is a grave offense sim
ply to delay a train bearing the United
States mail by placing ever so slight
an obstruction on the track, it is to be
wondered at that the timbers were put
there. Had the engineer not seen the
obstruction until a few seconds later,
the engine and cars would have been
thrown from the track, it is said,
without a doubt, and as the side
toward the river is an abrupt incline,
the chances would have been gre
that someone would have been badly
hurt, if not killed. Such carelessness
is reprehensible, and deserves popular
censure. It is intimated in officia
circles that the matter may terminate
seriously for the persons who put the
timbers on the track."
It is curious how the name David
runs through the principal incidents
?n the life of the late ex-Judge Terry.
He was named David, and he killed
David C. Broderick in a duel. One
of Broderick's seconds was David D,
Colton, and the duel was witnessed

poverty and crime;

There is no doubt that all the other
Ehropean powers are in constant dread
of the great
Russia. This enormous power, moved
by a central despotism without any
accountability to its millions of sub
jects, is a constant menace to the
peace of mind of all Europe. It has
its tentacles reaching out in every di
rection, ready at any moment to draw
in any weak nation needed for its ag
grandizement. It is particularly watch
ing' Turkey on the southwest and
Persia on the southeast, the first open
ing the way to the Mediterranean, the
other to the Indian ocean. It will
never rest until both these countries
are swallowed and it gains an outlet in
both these directions, unless in the
meantime its own power is exploded
into ten thousand fragments by in
terior revolution. What is a remarka
ble fact, is, that the head of this colos
sal political power is himself no better
than a prisoner in his own dominions,
in abject terror of assassination by his
own subjects. His only safety in the
past has been in the army. Now this
branch is becoming honey-combed with
nihilism. When this turns against
liim, no one can tell what teiible inter
al upbeavings may take place within
the very vitals of this strong and
much-dreaded power of the north.
James G. Blaine knows what he is
about and he will see that the Uni.ed
States loses neither dignity nor pres
tige in the settlement of the Behrings
sea dispute. The probabilities are
that the: matter will be disposed of by
peaceful measures, but if our ancient
British enemy insists on wat the result
will no doubt be that Canada will be
come a part of the United States.
