CHAPMAN OWHEREdid the attemptto introducetemperance into NorthAmerica during the mid-nineteenthcentury produce a sharperconflict than in Maine and New Brunswick.• In thelate fortiesand early fifties this region became a focalpoint of a crusadeagainst "strong drink," which, having begun as a religious movementof moral reform,became a powerfulpolitical force seekingto imposeits will on the community.New Brunswickhad a provincialtemperance society in 1850,•' two yearsbefore the foundingof a statetemperance society in Maine, but it was from Mainethat provincialadvocates of enforcedabstinence drew much of theirinspiration and encouragement, asthe followingpages will show. Beforethe late eighteen-twentiesthere were few in Maine or New Brunswickwho were aware of anymoral and socialimplica- tionsin heavydrinking. In olderNew Englanda reactionto in- temperancehad begunabout the turn of the century,but for a generationit wasa spasmodicand unorganized movement among clergymenwho found it difficultto savesouls whose mortal shells wereimmersed in alcohol.It foundformal expression in the Ameri- can TemperanceSociety, founded in Bostonin 1826.As laymen becameinterested in temperance,the movementgrew more secular in outlook,and excessivedrinking began to be consideredin the light of its effectsupon society. a These developments, as well as the differences which arose within the movement between "tem- perance"men and "totalabstainers," and between"moral suasion- ists"and thosewho desiredrestrictive legislation, were reflected duringthe growthof organizedtemperance agitation in New Brunswick and Maine. Here,as elsewherein NorthAmerica, heavy drinking had long beenaccepted as an integralfeature of everydaylife. Therewere severalfactors which tended to reinforcethe hard-drinkinghabits •The writer wishesto acknowledgethe usefulnessof Miss Ruth Nicholson'sre- searchin this field.See her unpublishedM.A. thesis,"Maine-New Brunswick Rela- tions1887-1849," University of New Brunswick,1958. •'JamesHannay, History o[ New Brunswick( Saint John, 1909), I, 447. aThedevelopment of the temperancemovement in the UnitedStates before 1851 hasbeen hilly describedby J.

Moreoverrum was a vital commodityin the tradeof the regionwith the WestIndies andwas received in exchangefor lumberand fish. Import duties on alcoholicbeverages provided a significantpart, indeedfor many yearsa majorpart, of governmentrevenues. 5 Of greatimportance in New Brunswick was the revenue derived from customs duties which,at leastuntil 1857,provided all but a fractionof th• funds at the disposalof the Assembly.There can be smallwonder, then, that there waslittle inclinationon the part of businessand com- mercialinterests to deplorethe existenceof a trade so basicto their prosperity,or on the part of assemblymento interferewith the sourceof provincialsolvency or with their own independence of the authorityof the Crown. Alcohol,in oneform or another,occupied an importantplace in the community.ø "Spirits, especially rum, wasvery cheap,and the duty being only thirty centsa gallon,everyone could afford to drinkit. TM A rumration was part of the wagespaid to workers,for an employerwho did not providerum found it hard to obtain 4After1820 greaterattention was paid to agriculturebut that industryhad never beenseparable from lumberhagand eventoday many small farmers in the lessfertile areascombine both occupations. 5In 1824 customsduties levied by the New Brunswicklegislature provided œ80,682out of a total revenueof œ44,670.The greaterpart was derivedfrom spirits,and rum aloneproduced œ17,000 (see P.R.O., C.O. 198/7). In 1881,duties on rum producedœ 12,000 out of a total provincialrevenue of œ82,989(see P.R.O., C.O. 193/14). Even in 1841,a year of large-scaleillicit importsof spiritsbecause of high duties (see Journal,House of Assemblyof New Brunswick,1841, 56, 152), œ20,000was collectedon spiritsfrom dutieslevied underprovincial Acts aloneand several thousand pounds under authority of Actsof Parliament(see P.R.O., C.O. 198/24). øTheamount of rum and otherspirits consumed in New Brunswickduring the earlydays of the temperancemovement may be roughlyestimated through calcula- tionsbased on the populationof the provinceand the net importsof spiritsinto the colony.For example,in 1858,with a populationof 100,000(P.R.O., C.O. 195/15), 271,000gallons of rum and42,000 gallons of otherspirits were legally available for consumption(figures given to the nearestthousand gallons), thus providing for a per capita consumption,respectively, of 2.7 and .42 gallonsfor the year. Similar annualfigures for the late twentiesand earlythirties may be calculated,the volume of spiritsimported and exported being secured from the appropriateNew Brunswick "BlueBooks," P.R.O., C.O. 198/12,18, 14, 15, 16. Thesefigures would indicate that ff all the adultmales drank, say one in sevenin thosedays of largefamilies, then theiraverage annual consumption of legally imported spirits during the periodwould be aboutseventeen gallons, mostly of undilutedrum. 7JamesHaunay, Life and Timesof Sir LeonardTilley (Saint John,1897), 214. The dutyin 1881was one shilling per gallonunder provincial Act andsix pence underAct of Parliament(P.R.O., C.O. 198/14).

The little town of Calais,Maine, had nine legitimate"rum holes"and liquor was soldin many cellars withoutbenefit of licence."The use of liquorwas considered neces- saryto happiness,ff not to actualexistence ....

"•ø Sincelumbering was the main industryin both Maine and New Brunswick,the habits of the woodsmenexerted a considerableinflu- ence upon the rest of the community.Henry Clubb of Maine reportedin 1856: The lumber interestemploys many of the bone and muscle (undeveloped morally and intellectually) of society,who are kept in the forest and on the river in a semi-savagestate; away from the restrainingand refining interests of good society.They are wild men, and like certain animals (upon which they feed, by the way) are fond of swill and will root if not rung. This kind of societyhas its demandsand there are always enoughto meet them with the supply.xx It is scarcelysurprising that the peopleof Maine and New Brunswickbegan to connectthis widespread consumption of liquor with problemsof economicdepression and high ratesof crime,or thatthe advocates of temperanceexpected a great reform in society fromthe successof their crusade.Neal Dow, a prominentMaine temperanceleader, stated, "No personcould fail to noticethe generalpoverty of thisstate,... andmuch of the povertywas the directresult of the generaldistribution of the trafficin liquor."•2 "It wasthe regularthing-rum, slotlffulness, poverty and lawless- 8FredM.

AUTHOR’S POST-PRINT VERSION, SEPTEMBER 2019. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1086/705337 1 | P a g e “A good advertisement for teetotalers”: Polar explorers and debates over the health effects of alcohol, 1875–1904.1 Abstract: This paper examines discussions about drink and temperance on British polar expeditions around the turn of the twentieth century. In doing so, I highlight how expeditionary debates about drinking reflected broader shifts in social and medical attitudes towards alcohol. These changes meant that by the latter part of the nineteenth century, practices of expeditionary drinking could make or break the reputation of a polar explorer, particularly on an expedition that experienced an outbreak of scurvy. At the same time, I demonstrate the importance of travel and exploration in changing medical understandings of alcohol. I examine these issues through an analysis of two expeditions organized along naval lines—the British Arctic Expedition (1875–6) and the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–4)—and, in doing so, demonstrate that studying 1 I would like to thank Dr James Kneale, Dr Innes M.

  • Alcohol and the Workplace for Pdf.P65
    INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR ALCOHOL POLICIES ICAP REPORTS 13 AUGUST 2003 ALCOHOL AND THE WORKPLACE The place of alcohol in society and the attitudes that surround it have changed considerably over the course of history. There are few examples in which this change is as apparent as in the relationship between alcohol and the workplace. Once quite commonplace in the work environment, alcohol has increasingly shifted into the domain of leisure. As the professional and skill levels required in a more complex workplace have grown, it has become apparent that the consumption of alcohol in certain venues may not be appropriate. The effects of alcohol on performance have been extensively documented.1 Under certain circumstances and for certain professions, the risks associated with drinking and the workplace may have serious consequences and potentially affect a large number of people beyond the drinker. This issue of ICAP Reports examines three industries in which beverage alcohol plays a special role, either because of its salience, or because of its potential impact. These three industries are the transportation industry, the beverage alcohol industry, and the hospitality industry. The report examines how the issue of alcohol and the workplace has been addressed in each and the approaches that have been used to ensure the safety both of employees and of others who may be affected. A SHORT HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Throughout most of history, alcohol and the work environment were a ready mix. Baggage porters in 19th century London fortified themselves with stout beer in an effort to muster strength, and a morning glass of aguardiente helped the Spanish laborer brace himself for a day’s work.2 The “Rum Ration” was introduced T th by the Royal Navy in the 17 century, granting sailors a pint of rum a day, along with a gallon ration of beer, and a double ration of rum before battle.

  • Agnes Weston, Temperance, and the British Navy Mary A. Conley
    "You Don't Make a Torpedo Gunner Out of a Drunkard:" Agnes Weston, Temperance, and the British Navy Mary A. Conley Public interest in the naval seaman grew dramatically during the second half of the nineteenth century in Britain. Images of the British bluejacket entered the popular imagination through such diverse means as advertising, entertainment, newspapers, politics and philanthropy. Yet these images were hardly consistent. While some representations portrayed naval seamen as dutiful patriotic servants of the Empire, other popular imagery presented them as irresponsible, drunken, gallivanting tars who became social dangers once ashore. The commodification of the sailor is scarcely a substantive reflection upon the real lives of British naval men during this period but rather offers access to the attitudes and anxieties that existed within British society. From the 1870s the Royal Naval Temperance Society (RNTS), under the direction of Agnes Weston, relied upon the recognizable image of the drunken sailor, as well as stories of naval teetotallers, to publicize the cause of naval temperance among subscribers and naval men. This article is an examination of the strategies of Agnes Weston to achieve a d ry British navy. For Weston, temperance was an issue of salvation – of saving drunken souls. Despite her religious motives, Weston justified naval temperance by employing a variety of different arguments in order to garner the attention of both the navy and the public. In pa rticular, Weston appealed to both naval men and subscribers through strategies that evoked duty to family, God, and nation. By categorizing naval temperance as a national, social, and religious imperative, Weston expected to increase the range of its appeal.
