Worth Remembering Liquor Bill and Sellers for 1897
A reminiscence on America's liquor economics cites 232,295 liquor sellers and a $1 billion spend. Internal revenue figures show distilleries and fermented liquors producing over $114 million, with breweries numbering 1,771 and English capital at $91 million. Projections on population, voters per dealer, and deaths from drink are given, plus comparisons of beer production and potential employment if liquor funds funded basic needs. The piece cites revenue totals for year ending June 30, 1897, and notes tax brackets for rectifiers, liquor dealers, and brewers under 1906 law, closing with a temperance society quotation.
