JOHN BURNSr M.P., ON THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. ‘tnnHlidriukinfh habits of the poorer JL classes •hnvq.tiyer.rwl.K'ri'cqntribu’ted U> their political dependence, industrial bondage, personal debasement, civic inferiority, and domestic misery. Tho tavern throughout the. centuries has been the ante chamber to tho workhouse, the chapel of ease to the asyluni, the recruiting station for the hospital, tho rendezvous of the gambler, tho gathering ground for the gaol. “EVERY WORKMAN OUGHT TO DECREE THAT LIQUOR IS USELESS AND DANGEROUS AND OUGHT TO EE ABOLISHED. For soo what it does . “It excites where it does not divert their best faculties and qualities. It irritates where it- does not brutalise, and makes for discord, strife, and bitterness, where calmness, sobriety, kindness, and decency should prevail. It is an aid to laziness, as it often is an incentive to the most exhausting and reckless work; it is the most insidious foe to independence of character ; it undermines manhood, enervates maternity, and dissipates tho best elements of human nature as no other form of surfeit does. It stimulates all tho lusts of the flesh as ino other form of excess is callable of doing, as tho records of human depravity, misery, and brutality too often reveal. As was said of it by Lord Brougham,* it is the mother'bf want and the nurse of crime. “Nationally it is the. greatest item of our imperial spending. It represents a sum of appalling size when one understands, the wasteful, nonproductive character of its expenditure. IF THE WASTE STOPPED AT THE DIRECT MONEY COST, THE TROUBLE WOTTED BE LARGE THOUGH COMPUTABLE, BUT THE EVIL OF DRINK IS THAT ITS CHIEF MISCHIEF ONLY BEGINS WHEN IT HAS PASSED INTO CIRCULATION—AND IT RETURNS AFTER MANY DAYS IN CRIME, DISORDER, DISEASE, SQUALOR, AND ALL THE ABOMINATION THAT DRINK CAUSES.” From a speech delivered in Manchester Free Trade Hall. (Advt.) C.P.
