DRINK AND DISORDERS.
(adveetisement.) When Vcnderbilt and Gould, our own railroad and corporate millionaires, and the lesser business, uaen have considered it from the stand-point Of political economy a«» effecting, 'thjfftn -in-., their pockets and in increasing their taxes, we wil] suggest they contemplate if fro on another. point ot view — viz* All tlie* tfel-ttriktiisoi, communism, and discontent" that are oi in the pas&'WaVflr.b^en''. fcrea'ted dn 'the United Stales of America came from the Saloon* -'l^ejipadquartere.- of; so'oiahsii. in the^City of "New" York is the beei saloon of Justin. Schwab, in FourtL Avenue. The exhibition in parade ol of one thousand seven hundred liquoi •willing Germans in Chicago, armed with rifles, came from its beer-shops. There •was nevef a labor riot in America thai did not come from •lioho-iic drink. Then wif never a riot of any kind in America, in which blood was shed «»r property the inspiration and impulse ol w'lieh did not come from drunkenness Tiie industry that is sober never conspires, never riots, and never murder >. Je.tl< usj of wealth and a desire to inj -ire weal thj men never in the world's history cam* from well-fed sober labor. Tiiere is no class so reasonable in its demands;, s< easy to manage, and so law-abiding ai the sober, well-recompensed labor class There is no class so valuable to society or upon whom good government so muet depends. It is the class who pays all o the taxes and does all tbe hard work J t makes wealth first possible and thei enjoyable, and it is an anomul* that wealth and the wealthy classes wil conspire to rob it of its earnings ant despoil it of all. its virtues in the iuteres of an idle, vicious, foreign, gin-sellinj class which engages itself in prumotinj leagues of freedom in opposition to law And in sowing the seeds of jealous; again -t wealth, that in riot and disorde tfiey may reap a harvest.— Argonaut.
