In yesterdays ': mail we received a

of the votea, "if be la progressiva ha
he aill vote for the lusiitutiuu whkh
will keep thi most money in circular
Hon," .Will local option atop the coin
age of money? Or Is the. roan, who
bays a drink to con tribute to. the,, run
ning expense of the state going to hoard
thstnlcKla Will he not spend., it . to
contribute to the running expense of
his family?- Wilt not Ibe shoe imaker,
the grocer and. the dry goods merchant
be benefited, there by? Jn speaking ol
tbe great revenue from the liquor and
tobacco ttaffie would it not be well to
consider . whether, we would need so
much revenue if we had no these
prog res We Institutions la our midst.
Would It not lessen tba number of
Inmates in tbe Asylums tbe Orphaas
homes and the per bouses If tt wen
not for the liquor traffic we won Id have
less need of their boasted charity, Ia
not local option truly Amerclao It
meana that tbe majority, shall rule,
and what fair thinking mao can 'deny
us and himself that right.. There are
mauy slavea to the drink liaoit who
if tbe temptation was not forced , upon
them would be free men and bappy
prosperous citizens supporting their
families, In this respect are we not
our brothers keener? Think of the
sorrow, the sin, the crime snd shame
brought about by the influence of this
great evil. What mother would not
rather weep tears of sorrow over the
graves of their loved ones ratbnr than
(ears of shame over their : live, t The
liquor traffic is the greatest irsue be
fore the people today. " J
