Pauperism
Pauperism.
I can not detain the House with full statistics from the various States in regard to the pauperism occasioned by alcohol, but not less than 130,000 widows and orphans are left such in our county annually by liquor-drinkers, and from two-thirds to four-fifths of the inmates of our poor-houses are sent there by drink.
