Excerpt from Does It Pay to Smoke?: By an Old Smoker An inhabitant of the United States who smokes a pipe only, and good to bacco in that pipe, can now get his smoking for twenty-five dollars a year. One who smokes good cigars freely (say ten a day at twenty cents each) must expend between seven and eight hundred dollars a year. Almost every one whose eye may chance to fall upon these lines will be able to mention at least one man whose smoking costs him several hundred dollars per an num, - from three hundred to twelve hundred. On the other hand, our friend the bod-carrier can smoke a whole week upon ten cents' worth of tobacco, and buy a pipe for two cents which he can smoke till it is black with years. All this inconceivable expenditure this five hundred millions per annum comes out of the world's surplus, that precious fund which must pay all the cost, both of improving and extending civilization. Knowledge, art, litera ture, religion, have to be supported out of what is left after food, clothes, fire, shelter, and defence have all been paid for. If the surest test of civilization.
