THE SALOON IN POLITICS.
. The discussion of this suhject seem?
to me quite appropriate to the occasion.
Perhaps the highest honor we can pay
to the founders of our Government, Is
to accept with profound gratitude the
blessings which, under God, they have
transmitted to us, and to face with
manly courage and patriotic determin
ation whatever problems remain to be
solved. Among those problems none
are so grave and pressing, and none
threaten consequeneis so disastrous to
all that is most sacred In our Institu
tions, as are involved in the American
saloon system. Time will not i-ermit
lue to even notice the multiform pha
ses of this gigantic evil, which, in its
tendencies, magnitude and destruct-
iveness, is the most uanjierous foe to
the Republic, and the direst curse that
afflcts mankind. I shall therefore
waive for the present, those broader
and higher moral considerations,
which demonstrate the liquor traffle,
as now carried on, to be the stupendu-
oiis crime of the nineteenth century.
and confine myself mainly to the po
litical and economical features present
ttl by the saloon in politics.
I insist that, considered merely upon
the ljwer p!ae of political economy,
there is no subject now tiefoee the
American people, at all comparable in
gravity and importance to this one.
I t embraces and involves problems of
taxation, industrial prosytentv, mate
rial progress, political purity, general
intelligence, social order, personal and
domestic security and even the founda
tions of the Government itself. In the
wide sweep of its lualign influence it
touches, and threatens the very warp
and Woof of our social, political and in
dustrial organisms.
How to curtail and finally destroy
this evil is the the great "problem of the
hour. Its solution stands next on the
world's calendar of progress. It has
been called for trial, and cannot be dis
missed or postponed. The saloon has
lldly entered politk-s, and It has come
to stay until vanqulslied or victorious.
Briefly stated, the questions is, Shall
the Liquor Power, with its dire and
ieatiiy mriuenecs, rule and rum, or
shall it be utterly destroyed?
This malign Power has organized
and massed its mighty forees for the
conflict. It has raised the black flag,
and proclaimed that he who will not
swear allegiance to it, and thereby be
come fxtrtiwjjit erimintt in its work
f destruction and deatli, shall politi
cally perish. It has even drawn the
assassin's knife, and lighted the torch
of the incendiary, in order to i aspire
dismay In the ranks of its enemies.
The time has therefore come when
this issue must be met. Political par
tics can no longer dodge it if they
would. Private citizens must take
ides cpcoly, for or against the saloon,
w ith its methods and its results. "Neu
trality is henceforth impossible; indif
ference Is henceforth a betrayal of the
trust invclved In citizenship."
In most of our cities the drinking
saloon is the central power around
which pohtiea. revolve, and which dic
tates caadidates and party policies.
Even m wr National elections it some
times exercises a controlling influence
and decides Prcsitlential contests. By
the peculiar relation of political parties
New York has become a pivotal state.
The saloons rule the city, the city rules
the state, decides what shall be the
ruling power for the Republic. We
are, therefore, to, all intents and purpo
ses, a rum-ruled nation. We shall not
be surprised at the ability of this or
ganization to accomplish these result?
if we glance at its magnitude and re
sources. It claims to have tn the United
FUtes, M ,000,000,000 to vested in the
lousiness of making and selling liquors.
There are at least 500,000 direct em
ployes. Millions of poor miserable
victims and camp-followers stand ready
ty do its bidding. It is supported and
defended by the vicious habits, appe
tites, passions and prejudices, of mil
lions of our people. Its revenues are
larger, and the percentage of profits
far greater, as the statistics prove, than
sre derived trom all of our 140,000
miles of railroad. Add to this, the
disgraceful fact that, with these migh
ty resources at command, it has form
ed a close alliance, offensive and de
fensive, with one of the great political
parties of the country. Is it any won
der, then," that such an organization,
with such resources, and such political
llia1ices, has become the ruling power
in many parts, of the lie-public, and
that it baldly proclaims its purpose of
supreme political dominion? I do not
pause to. describe the hideous character
of its rle in oar cities and towns,
.where, it has full sway, for your own
xperieree and observation will speak
Store eloquently on that Xnt than
wny words of mine. My purpose just
jiow is to show that while we read with
feonest pride our grand; and; immortal
iHxrlaratton of Independeuce, we are to
day the-subjects of a tyrant more ex
acting, cruel, intolerant and hateful,
4!ian ever wielded a royal seejiter, or
disgraced a kingly orown.
Let a few facts, selected from the'
Viauy
it e-oi tuna 11 d, eon firm this ttate-
Take firxt, that which in among

ate retainers the makers and venders
of "liquid fire" numbers 500,000 mom
Estimating that this million of maker,
venders and victims, If enjra.uvd In
gome legitimate bUHinews, could have
earned $1.50 per day, Ave have n h8 In
produetlve' power of $4-"0,000,0Kl per
annum, whieh added to the f700,txx,-

total of Jl,3.50,000,OtKl. Add to tills tax
ation estimated at $ lOO.OCxWWO for
the support of jails, criminal proseen
tions, in'iiitentlarU-s, almshouses, pau
pemm, and all the unnunibercel bur
dens i in potted upon the country by this
tyrant, and you have ?l,35O,OO:),0(X as
the annual cost of hia reign. How
does this compare with the ad n I ubt ra
tion of King Ueorge, or with the tax
on the historic tea, that a century ago
was put to steep In Boston Harbor?
Let It be borne In mind that this bur
den rests nicmt heavily upon the poor,
who are least able to War It, It Is
doubtless true that a large portion of It
is borne by the rich and prosperous,
but if only one-half of it talis upon the
wage-workers of the nation, there is an
opportunity for an Anti-Poverty Soci
ety, with possibilities Wyond the wild
est dreams of Mr. George and Pr. Mo
Glynn. Mr. l'owderly, In a recent
speech said, "in one Pennsylvania
county, In a single year, ? 17,000,000
was spent for liquor, and it was estima
ted that 111,000,000 of the amount came
from worklngmen." The savings that
could be made through an Anti-8aloon
Anti-Poverty Fooiety, would In ten
years buy half the farms in the United
Htates, and In fifteen years more fur
nish a fund large enough to purchase
every railroad in the country, and pay
tor them more than their actual cost,
Kot less than 80,000 victims annually
go to the drunkards grave. Pestilence
and war combined do not, In this coun
try equal its destruc tive energy. I repeat
what I have had oe:iislon to say else
where, that the watte of human life
wrought every five years by our 500,
000 saloons, is equal to the destruction
of life by both armies, numbering mil
lions of armed men, during the entire
War t f the Ileliellion. In their hands
strong drink ia a weapon so fatal that
the 500,000 drunkard-makers are able
to aceotuplitdi more in the some period
thau four-times their numlior could
1 ...... ?1.W W.V. C.IVlt, 1111. till.
and all the appliances of mo lei n war-
fare. The cruelty of war is not meas
ured by the number of tliose who Ml
in battle, but by the unutterable woe
and bitter anguish of broken hearts and
desolated home's. Most emphatically j
is it true, that the mere destruction of
80,000 lives every year affords no meas
ure of the relentless cruelty of the liq
uor power, in its war against society.
To realize this you must go to the dis
honored homes, question the broken
hearts, read the voiceless misery In
wan and haggard faces, hear helpless
children cry for food, sec tliem strick
en down by drunken and infuriated
fathers, and sometimes even by besot
ted mothers, witness the debauchery
and ruin of youth, and the utter deg
ration, ignorance, poverty and misery
which everywhere and always accom
pany the victims of the saloon. Do
you say that all these are the incidents
of the business, nt the motives for it?
Certainly. Let us do these men no in
justice. Human misery is not their
motive. They only want to get mon
ey, and knowing that these things fol-1
low as effexrt follows cause, they are;
not deterreeL . Doubtless they wemld
prefer to get money without theseelisa-.
jrreeable consequences of their acts. A

and Iiighwayman. Their motive also
is money, not murder.
In addition to its waste of property
and proeluetive power, and its rekmt
kss cruelty, the saloon is a most dan
gerous enemy to the llepublic
The home and the ballot are the very
corner-stones on which our free institu
tions rest; the very holy of holies be
hind the sacrt-d alters of Freedom.
Destroy the one, or corrupt the other,
and free government is a failure. The
liquor saloent aims Its eleaelily b!ows at
both. If the hopc of our fathers, and
our own ambition for this great llcpuli
lic are to be realized, we must protect
and cherish the myriads of homes,
where children are daily taught those
lessons of Christianity, liberty, justice
and for! ea ranee, which alone will
qualify them for the srered tnt-t esf cit
izenship. Whatever eLse the liquor fv-i-loons
have done, they have never made
one happy Christian home, and they
never will. On the either hand, they
have cxcateel unnumbe red thousands of
places, tnisnameel Ironies, where the
seeds of disorder and anarchy are ehuly
plantod and nourished-, in the minds
anel he-arts of the young. These ele-sc-crated
homes arc the primary schools,
in which they are taught by precept
and example, the first lessons in disor
eier and crime, while the saloons them
selves are the t-olleges from whieh the
most dangtrous order of crimi
nals are graduated. They stand open
night and elay Sundays included
ready to receive the myriads of poor,
ignorant and misguided wretches,
whose childhood blighted in the drunk
ard's home made them the ready vic
tims to the teachers of disorder, social
ism, and anarchy, who here find their
council-ehamher and their inspiration.
I verily believe that if the saloon were
alxdishcel, the dangerous classes which
now menace society would to a great
extent disappear with it. What think
yeu would become of the anarchist
and soe-ialist without his ally and as
sistant? Where would he rally his
forces? Where would be teach his
treason? Where weuld he find inspir
ation for his followers? The saloon
system ia Itself a league of law-breakers,
whose example affords a meist
powerful stimulus to elisorder of all
kinds. It openly proclaims its pur
pose to diso!ey all laws which interfere
with its supreme purpose to make
money in its own way, and at whatev
er sacrifice.
The corrupt use of monej' is, in my
judgment, one of the most elangerous
evils which now threatens the future
f f this Republic. It is the blighting
! festering source of many of the other
j evils of which we vompluiu. It hi fcap-
the very louinlMiiuns of jHtlilic
wn(hlence tuitl resjK-it for law, by mI-
It stalks with brazen face into our leg
islative hiklis, and with scarcely a pre
tense of concealment dictates our laws.
It too often corrupts the. press, and
changes truth Into a lie. It is the
ready and well-known Instrument by
whieh the will of the wopte is thwart- j
ed In a thousand ways. It Is the ef
ficient means by which individual
wealth ami corporate power aggran
dize themselves at the expense of the
people, and by which giant evibj main
tain their hold upon society. Let it lie
generally understood and acquiesced
in, that elections deieiid not upon the
free will of the people, but that their
results are purchased with money, or
whisky, and the end of free Institu
tions Is not far off". Upon the ruins of
Juduh is written "Idolatry," of Greece
and Home "Sensuality," of Hpain
"Avarice" and on the ruins of the Great
Republic will be written "Corrupt ion,"
unless there be virtue enough in the
people to rescue it from the bottomless
abyss toward wlileh Its steps are tend
ing. Combine and aggregate all the
otlier corrupting agencies and Influen
ces' of our times, and they are dwarfed
lieside the Liquor Power. ; Indeed, but
few of the other methods of corruption
are complete without It. I know of no
other agency which openly proclaims
it right and its purpose to control elec
tions, and to prevent the passage of
distasteful laws, by the use of money,
HV WHAT rUUHT DOK3 THE 6A 1AXX
EXIST?. - .
I know of none. Blavery had some
excuse for existence, because, wicked
as it was, it had a place In the Ccnstl
tution. The saloon system can plead
no constitutional guaranty. Even the
absurd and oft-rejR-ated claim of "per
sonal liberty," put forth by the liquor
drinker, does not apply to the seller.
If we admit the right to commit sui
cide, it docs not prove the right to com
mit murder. If I have the right to de
stroy my usefulness and 1113. life, by
strong drink or poisonous drug, It does
not follow that you have the right to
sell them to me, knowing the use I
will make of them.
Nor can the saloon system base its
riht to exist on any claim of useful
ness. It is not a legitimate branch of
trade, supplying a natural and health
ful demand, but, as we have already
seen an active, tireless agency in the
creation of an uunaturable demand fur
that which is only pernicious in its ef
fects. If its dreary pathway of vice te
illumined by one pxl deed done for
country or for humanity, it has not yet
been reported. If it has one redeem
ing virtue to offset against an unl-rr.-
ken monotony of wickedness. It has
lieen most successfully concealed. Its
character, purpose and history declare
it to le a proper subject for political
outlawry, without title to sympathy,
or the right to 1.
If society has the right of self-protection
ag:dnst unjust taxation it most as
suredly may protect itself against the
uneaqualed burden imposed by the liq
uor traflie. If the right exists to guard
the community against crime, corrup
tion or the spread of contagious disease,
for a much stronger reason it exists
against tho saloon, which is the known
cause of more crime, corruption, disease
and death than any other agency.
The only honest ground on which
the saloon system tan claim the right
to U, Is the right of the Individual to
get money regardless of the consequen
ces to society. And for t lie same rea
son that we punish criminals who put
that principle into practice, we have
right to abolish t!e -alouii
Theapparcut hnliffi rcnee with which
many good people seem to rtgarel this
evil la Incomprehensible, How shall
we account for it? A few weeks ago
the w hole civilized world was shocked,
and justly so, by the burning of two
humlrcd people in a theater In Paris.
That very night, the fires of the saloon
probably elestroyexl more than that
number in the United States alone,
and under circumstances far more
shocking. The existence of a dozen
cases of cholera in New York would
alarm the whole country, and yxt there
are nine thousand salterns in that city,
each of whieh Is more elangerous than
a elozen cases of cholera. j
Is it not true that our long familiar
ity with the raloon and its work, has
blinded Us to its cimrmities? 8upose
we had never seen or heard of it until
it Ruddenly burst upon us in all Us de
structive wiekctluess. What indigna
tion and horror would thrill every
breast! The patriotic response to the
first relnd gun at Sumter would seem
cold ia comparison with the popular
uprising, which would overwhelm and
utte-rly destroy the hideous niul hate
ful thing.
Or suppose that while the nation
slept, wearied with the care and toil of
elaily life, an enemy had crept in and
planted his mhiions 011 every block,
ami on every street of our citie-s ami
villages, anel we had suddenly a waken
eel, on the Fourth of July morning, to
find him destroying our pe-opte at the
rate of 80,000 per annum, filling our
jails and poor-houses with Ids victims,
taxing iw hundmls ef millions for his
own gain, debauching our yemng men
and maidens, converting eur homes
into hells, breeding anarchy and vio
lence, polluting our elect ions, and brib
ing our law-makers, in orkr to main
tain his power. Would jrood men Ik
indifferent? Would politicians court
his" favors? Would political parties
form alliances with, him feir mutual
protection anel oupport? Precisely
such an enemy is in our midst. Snail
he remain until he subverts all we hoi el
sacred, or shall we, by t common pa
triotic impulse, renew our Declaration
of Independent, and banish the ele
stroyer forever from our homes and
eiur countrj-? Jinn. William Window.
