Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Socialism and the Drink Question The obvious evils of the drink traffic have raised the subject to the rank of a question of foremost political and social importance. The results of no other social evil are so apparent. Gambling may reduce a family to starvation; commercial speculation may lead to ruin; capitalism, by low wages, may cause poverty and physical deterioration, and drive women to shame; landlordism may be responsible for the ruin of agriculture and the degradation of the labourers to the position of serfs; but the relation between cause and effect in these cases is not so obvious and immediate as between drink and the misery, poverty, ruin, crime, lunacy, disease, and death which the traffic brings in its train. The evil effects of drinking cannot be hidden. They obtrude themselves upon our attention at every turn. The public house is everywhere. The reeling and brutalised victims of drink meet us in the streets; the slum areas of our towns reek with its filthy odours.
