A striking illustration of the callousness of the High-Caste is, that they derive their own revenues largely from this very degradation of the serfs — for an immense tax is paid by them upon the beer and gin which they consume — and this tax enures wholly to the benefit of the High-Caste. In the Law-making House, therefore, whenever some good man wishes to moderate this ex- cessive evil of drink and drunkenness; pointing out 218 EMPLOYMENTS OF THE PEOPLE, how Crime takes root and flourislies, a...nd vice spreads from these drinking-places ; how the whole community suffers ; he is laughed at and pointed at, and made odious to these miserable creatures, as one who would deprive the 2^oor man of his Beer ! In this connection of the serf with the rich man's revenue, it is convenient to say " the poor m.an ; " on ordinary occasions, the " drunken least" or the " h-ute," would be more Kkely.
