clcs, ami as this country giants free
dom of speech, every person has a right ,
to comment. For the lust few yearrf
past, t It ir? important qucftion has been
at itsue, and every year, undoubtedly
notes a gradually increasing influence
over the people in general. Like every
other measure inl induced, it has its
fiipportoiH and opj iu nls, and in (his
ninth r, peradvctiture, the latter is
greatly superior in numbers to the for
mer, lint not stronger in that ardent
zeal which inspires its adherents to put
forth their greatest ellbrt. This mat
ter may be considered in a number of
wave liit. in a financial view; second,
in it criminal view; thiid, in a moral
view, and fourth, in a. social viov,-.
Xrnv. the wav in which it edicts the
people in general, is the social calamity ,
it causes, and in that view it should be
considered by society j while that class j
.. 1.. ...1. .. ....I. It. li.i.-ti.ir flu. t
III pCUpiU IIW lllll HIU ', IMIWHH iin-
piohibition ticket defeated, should ar
gue the case to their own interest. So
in a social view of the case, we cannot
refrain from saying a few words.
In the first place, the only position
one can take is, that the sale of intox
icating liijuors is a decided injuiy to
society. This question is not for po
litical pnrtica to consider. If docs not
appertain to politic in any sense of the
word, but fatally -licet the interest of
society. It telling eU'ect may be
recognized in every community in the
United Shite.
See that poor, struggling uian-brtite,
hi eye bluodsbot, hi face nglov from
the burning essence of bad whiskey,
bis clothe torn and muddy, and hi
general appearance indicating the low
est typo of humanity; his wile and
hungry ehildtcn weeping and wailing
bisiet'urn to their empty mid ehcerles
home. Hi children are. clolhed in
rag's; grow up on the sheet corners, to
an age when they can prowl and steal
for a scanty and miserable living.
Their wives are slave to a master
limit! cruel and wicked than ever a
southern slave dieained of. Is not this
degrading to society? Can that per
fect sjate of harmony exisl which is
the foundation of a pleasant stati of
society? Where children me' begging
for a morsel of bread to quell that ra
gin appetite, c.une:l by a grog shop
and poor mothers are entreating and
begging for a little work to do in order
to feed her starving babe at, home,
can net n in belter circumstance
enjoy themselves, or can an equal state
of cniovnient be nossibl
Young men glow up under the
stilling inlluenceof the saloons, indulge
in drinking bad whiskey, and finally,
in I In- nriiiic oi lilt, wnen mcir nisi
dollar ha' been tossed over the
they take to crime as a last resort
livinir. and so end in a drtinl
; &
kaid'
grave, or on the gallows, a life which
might .otherwise have been -in honor
to the huniaii race.
If the sale of intoxicating liquor In
creases in the coming century in-in Uie
last, pireiiis will be dead drunk all the
time, and children will be born drunk.
The advance of the monster should be
cbeel o 1, or our penitentiaries will be
overt u i, ami the social condition of
Ibis r public will be -perfectly demor
alized. Crime and vice will increase

should be '11a id to it, then the final

1 ty and virtue will give place to degre
