ted the monkey's ' head and said :
"Wclliipou my soul , Spighcttl , you give

discovered a largo sea bass exceeding forty
pounds in weight , stranded on the sand ,
Whcro it hail probably been driven bv seine

lived ten minutes.
For a largo boy , full grown , without a

weighs lOo pounds and will measure ns many
inches around the chest as any 200-pound
man In town : does a man's work on the farm ,
except plowing , und has nn appetite which
needs no aid. Ho Is a perfect picture of
health.
A hole ton feet In circumference appeared
in Oconco county. Georgia , during the great
earthquake lu ijjili. It Is full of water , nnd
there has long been talk about its depth , but
no soundings were taken until a few dayongo.
Then a rope 200 feet long waa put down , but
failed to touch bottomand , now therp are per

Among a boom oC logs at Leamy & ICylo's

Into four 24-foot logs taken from ono tree ,
which Is one of the largest specimens of the

province , whoso record for giants of the
forest Is world-wide. These four logs wcro
respectively 84 inches , Tt ! Inches , 70 Inches
ami 00 Inches , and In none of them was them
a knot or other defect. The total number of
feet of lumber that can be cut out of this tree
Is 23,014. ,
A singular phenomenon was observed a few
weeks ago at the farm of J.A. . Ctmso In So-
bco. Me. The sun was gradually going dowu
in ttio west , and as it approached the horizon
what appeared to badainall cloud was secu
nearly under It. This soon burst Into a thou
sand of globular forms , which were brought
apparently by the air current jn the direction
of Mr. Chase's farm , and were distinctly seen
by himself and the othermouthers of the
family. As they fell upon the earth or
touched other sulfttaiiccs they disappeared
in a light smoke.VhHu.uoatin ? in the air
they presented all the brilliant hues of the
prlsiu or rainbow. Tht children cauglittheni

The Yarmouth ( N. S. ) Times reports that
wbllo two menof Port La Tour were out fish
ing the lUth ulU , they saw , about two hun-
drcd yards away from them , an Immense ,
strange-looking nsh , about forty feet long ,
having side llus about sovcu- feet long which
appeared llko wings , The llsh was about the
color of n whale , but the sldo llns wcra whlto
underneath. When It raised Itself out of the
water , with Its side tins extended , It looked
llko a gigantic bird. Nearlta tnll on the back
It had an upright lln somewhat In the form of
a sword. Its general color was llko that of a
whale , but It did no blqw fls the whale and
porpoise do , It was. evidently after herring ,
us It came up In tbo midst of them. They saw
tbo nsh several times , and therefore had a
good opportunity to observe It. They never
saw anything llko It.Mora. . The men are
said to bo entirely trustworthy.

PUTTING THE PEOPLE IN A PICKLE ,
Protection IN-rnlcloim to
I'lilUlo lNlluy-/V I'loa for It ct
Sugar and the Interests
of the Northwest.
Speech of Hon. Algernon S. Paddock of
Nebraska In the senate of the United State ? ,
Monday , September' " . ' , IS'JO ' :
Mr. President : AVlth imdlco towards no
one , mid with no disposition or doslro what
ever to complain of a result unsatisfactory to
nc , but constrained by a sento of duty to
ho state nnd section which I have the honor
n part to represent here , I shall vote against
this report. If this was a purely political
question I should chcerful'lv accept the Juilg-
nent of the majority of my political asso
ciates and enit my vote accordingly. Hut
upon a great economic question , affecting as
his docs Intereits most vital to my hnmcdl-
nto constituency , I shnll not -bo governed In
ny action by political considerations or sen-
Imcnt. I ahull endcnvor , rather , to make
ny acts conform with what appears to mo to
promise the boat and surest conservation of
neb Interests. If my judgment Is at fault
t will not bo the first ono that has prevents
ts own fallibility.
I shall not attempt a statement In detail of
nil my objections to the report. It would
avail nothing at this time to do so. 1 do ,
10 waver , deslro to refer specially but brielly
o the action of the committee upon the
urar schedule nnd its relation to the other
protected interests in this bill. I think a seri
ns error has been made in the arrangement of
tmtschedulo. The Importance of the'sugar
> eet Industry , the development of which hns
> ecn begun with so much vigor nnd with so
nrgo nn Investment In our state , has been un
dervalued ns I think by the conference com
mit teo.
The competition from abroad against which
t must contend for success has been under-
stlmntcd. Tlw assistance rendered by the
m uuuuuius lu uuuuiu
the manufacturers of beet-sugar In tboso
countries to overcome all competition in the
markets of the world hns been understated.
'bo bcucllts to accrue to tbo people by the
sweeping awayof the Imports on sugar , when
iicasured in connec lo i with the losses sus-
nincd by thumthrouga the Increase of d aties
on many otber articles essential lo life , are
lot apparent.
Tree sugar , desirable as it is , when secured
at the e.xpcnso of dearer clothing , etc. , does
lot relieve the debit side of the account for
the poor. Moreover , when It proves nn
obstacle in the way of the development of the
nanufiicturo of sugar by ourselves , and when
f the duty Is retained It would bo a more
lotontiul influence to command reciprocal
; rado with other nations Hint If removed In
the fnco of contemplated negotiations , the
iction seems ill-timed and unwise. However ,
.ho committee has given tboso very general
subjects very careful consideration nnd I nm
not disposed to criticise for the snko of criti
cism , although I frankly say that in respect
of them my judgment is not iu accord with
thtlrs.
And as this whole matter of protective
duties belongs properly to thodoniain of busi
ness and not politics , und would bo so located
if n non-partisan commission , like that pro
posed by the senate amendment on that sub
ject and eliminated by the conference com
mittee , could bo adopted , I feel myself at
liberty as a business man , representing a
business constituency , toexpress my approval
or my dissent by publloutterauco und legisla
tive votoiu icspcct of them as my Judgment
approves or disapproves.
Mr. President , in view of the action of the
conference committee on the sugur schedule ,
which t consider disnstrous to the beat-sugar
industry , I deslro very briefly to ask the at
tention of the senate to a few facts in con
nection with the history of the development ,
the Instrumentalities employed to that end ,
and tbo enormous advance by the beet-sugar
industry abroad.
I have gleaned some of these facts largely
Jiuin uuu vir.v uuiy iu } > uii3 in uuruuusma it.
Germain * , Austria-Hungary , Franco mu
other European countries , who have bcoi
afforded by these countries exceptional facili
ties for Investigation. I have also obtalncc
much information from the current history o.
those countries relating to this particular in
dustry , and some valuable statistics from oui
national buicau of statistics.
Consul Miller reports that In 1880 Germany
lovii'd taxes amounting to S1SOO,000 on sura
production. The import duty wasJ.C ! } cent'
per pound , which was in effect a prohibitory
tariff. The excise , consumption and othei
taxes , llko our internal revenue taxes , wen
charged to the product and formed a part o
the cost to the consumer , and wore in tbo cm
mainly paid by him. The heavy import duti
was a suftlcicnt protection to the manufac
turer to ilx his price to the consumer htgl
enough to cover all internal taxes charged ti
production. So that In that year out o
Sl,80l,0)0 ( ) of taxes thus collected thM numu
lacturers , who produced 420,000 tons of sugar
received $10,100,000.
This appears from the fact that after tin
drawback bounties were paid there only re
inalncd $7,101,000 in the treasury to the credl
of that account. But there Is another ele
nicnt in this calculation. The whole beet
sugar tax system ot Germany , Franco anil
Austria nro based upon assessments upon tin
sugar-beet actually consumed in mnnufnc
ture. Th is assessment Is at the rate of U t <
TV per cent on eacli 100 pounds of raw beets
tills being accepted by the government as UK
average proportion of sacchariuu matter ii
each 100 pounds of raw beets.
But the result from reduction pf thobcoti
into sugar iris latterly b < > eii nn average ol
from W/t to 10JJ pounds for rach'JOO pounds o
beets , an excess ubovo the assessment of f ron
about 'iYj to sy $ pounds which is free of al
tax , although undoubtedly the manufacture ]
makes his price to the homo consumer tin
sumo as if every pound of sugar sold by bin
bore the tax , u price which a prohlbitorj
tariff cnnbles him to get , so that ho gains b ;
this sleight-of-hand method , recognized b ]
the government In drawback tuxes , some
where from ! . ' 0 to 40 per cent of the whole tux
In Franco this has resulted in some years u
from $15 to $10 per ton In the form of draw
back bounty to tbo producer.
Hut this changeable , flexible tax system
with its drawback bounties , etc. , is cnvelopei
In mystery designedly ry the governments o
the great European beat sugar producing
countries. This is made necessary oyreasor
of the strife and competition between each o
these countries to increase its export of sugai
at the expense of the others , and also on nc
count of the contention between nil of then
combined with England , occasioned by thi
ability of the beet sugar countries to under
sell the OHIO sugar provinccsrof England h
the markets of the world , including the Eng
llsh homo market , which Is generally belie vci
In England to boauo to secret tax remissions
bounties , etc. Undoubtedly there Is sufllcieni
elasticity In these laws to increase or dccreusi
the drawback bounty as the conditions of thi
export trade may demand.
The assosmcnt upon the beet root referred
to can probably bo raised above or reducw
below 0 per ccmt on each 100 pounds by nd
mliilstrntivo action , and the drawback IN
thus , at * least , moderately increased or reduced
duced to meet any exigency , Tbo draw bad
bounty on export sugar in both Ucrmany am
Franco lias In some years of tbo recent pas' '
exceeded 3 cents per pound. In Austria 1
was , In ISSfl , over 4 cents , according to Hun
nlng. It would scorn to bo very largo h
Austria now. because the export of Dee
sugar from that country alone to the Unltoi
States which was 4'i'Jl , tons In 18 * } , wa :
.7,049 tons In 1SS ! > , an increase of more thai
030 per cent In one year.
It U a further fact of much significant
that Austria-Hungary , Franco anil German :
wore able ltd * year to sell in this country
paying out Import duty of 3 cents n pound
> 0,000 tons of sugar , which displaced Just si
niUGUcanoiugar.bcciiusclthey could undersol
the producers thereof , U'lielr shipments ti

not entirely of raw sugars , but with all ou
Import duties swept away below ID , uni

sugar factories Just starting can not HVo

Ai to nil iugars between 13 ana 10 to 4
admitted free of duty , ov n with
proposed by this bill there will bo ftbout
three-qunrtcrs of n cent n pound less protec
tion for these new Industries thnnj there Is
under the existing litw. In other words , us
to these sugars , our now manufacturers will
have nboiit 1 > 4 cents protection , as ngnlnst 'J
or moro cents drawback bounty for export In
Austria. Germany nnd Franco. This will bo
about three-quarters of a cent n pound of
protection transferred from our mntmfno
lories , Just beginning , to these wealthy for
eign manufactories which have been long ca-
tabllihcd mid which have , hcslde , the chenp-
cst labor in Kuropo to help them in their
competition with us. When the treatment of
this now nnd most promising western Indus
try is compared with thnt of tin plate , steel
rails , structural iron , cutlery , glassware ,
woolen nnd cotton manufactures , etc. , the re
sult Is not pleasant ) to co.-itomplatc.
Nor docs It particularly Incline a senator
from a stnto where astiong nnd most prom
ising commencement hns been tirade to de
velop such nn Industry as I luvo described to
vote for this report )
Here , then , Mr. President , Is n now Indus
try , more Important , to our whole people , as I
believe , than nny twenty others In this coun
try , requiring an enormous Investment for
every plant established ; nn Industry Inaug
urated under tariff duties wisely Imposed or
iginally for revenue only , nnd although these
duties were relatively not so high as many
others Intended to" bo protective , nothing
more was asked by those Inaugurating tbo
Industry. All demanded was , that if these
revenue duties should bo removed , corresponding
spending protection should bo given through
the bounty system which has been so suc
cessfully employed in nil the countries of Eu
rope , nnd under which those countries hnvo
In twenty years become almost the greatest
manufacturer. } and exporters of sugar In the
world.
The senator from Khodo Island fully real
ized the enormous importance of this new en-
tcrpilso , and the necessity for at least main
taining the full measure of protection afforded
by the existing law. Against much opposi
tion from senators not so well informed as ho
Is upon the subject ho arranged the sugar
schedule to accomplish this result , nnd by an
unusually strong statement to the senate se
cured its adoption.
But the conference committee has sent this
bill buck to IB with the protective fenturo
substantially eliminated , thus relegating this
great new industry to a competitive free
trade struggle for existence with the most
powerful industrial orgnnb.itioiH in nil the
world , entrenched behind prohibitive tariffs
nnd mudo invincible by flexible bounty sys
tems maintained by four among the great
est nations on the face of the earth.
Mr. President , If the conference committee
found it necessary to reduce the sugnrduties ,
us proposed by the pending measure , they
should have relatively Increased the bounty
on the homo manufacture. When reducing
the duty on the polnrkcopa test of SO degrees
to l r cents , thev at least should bavo in.
creased it to ii cents on all sugars above ' . ) ! ) .
The graduation of tbo bounty , if madont nil ,
should have been upwards , from 'J cents as a
minimum , and not downwards.
Why , sir , the surest permanent defeat of
any sugar rentiers' trust will bo accomplished
vthen , as In Germany , our country brings the
manufacture of raw beet sugars and their re
filling under a single roof in a thousand pros
perous factories distributing their benefits
among a million farmers , producers of beets.
The most certain assurance of cheap sugar
will bo gained when , stimulated by a proper
application of the doctrine of protection ,
growers , of sugar beet in a score of states
willhuvo their sugar nmdo at their own
doors ready for the table by American inanu-
facturciM.to whom they will sell raw material.
This hns been accomplished by Germany , by
Franco , and by Atibtila. It can bo accom
plished hero.
Mr. President , ! present a few figures show
ing how liberally ami wisely some of tlieso
governments have treated this industry , and
what aa immense account thuy have found it.
From mi to iSsS , with tariir duties runnimr
from 2 > rt to nearly : cents a pound , Franco
paid in drawback taxes , etc. , to sugar fac
tories of that country § 14 , 00,000. In 1852-13
she produced " .WO tons of beet sugar. The
total vuluo of her beet sugar product for each
of the three years of Ibrit ,
18T4 and 1S75 was over $51,000.000.
This required the labor of over 00,000
persons , exclusive of tlioao employed in the
cultivation of the beet in the Held. In
183'J-90 she produced 700,0)0 tons , worth
about 7.\OJOuo. ) , of which she shipped to
this country U73 tons. . .
in 1884 alone 44OW-
Austria-Hungary paid , , -
000 llbrins in bounties ( nearly i,25,000,000.1 ,
bellevo ) , collecting In sugar taxes otilv '
: ur , > 00,000 llorins ( about $17,000,00(1) ( ) in tha't
year , making an excess of payments out of
the treasury on account of bounties of about
? i,000,000 nbovo all receipts for taxes from
that source. At the same time the import
duties on sugar wcro from , ' % to 4' { cents a
pound. Austria started later than Franco ,

uui ii3 c.in.v us louu sue uiiu rcucncu ino point
of exportation. In 1SS7 her product was
400,000 tons. In JBb'J It was : ! 0OOJ tons. In
18S9 she exported no this country 4,2'Jl tons ,
and in the liscal year 1S9J , 'Jr.OI'J tons.
Germany followed cloidy in the footsteps
of Franco in the development of this indus
try. The inspiration to the whole continent
of Europe to try to produce locally their own
sugar supply came1 from Napoleon. After the
edlctsof Vienna anil Uerlin.exeluding English
colonial sugars , with nil other English com
modities , from the markets of the continent ,
the necessities of the countries affected ,
created an Imperative demand for the manu
facture of sugar , Nupolcon took the matter
up at once. Ho oflorcd enormous induce
ments for the discovery of improved pro
cesses for the manufacture of grape sugar ,
with quite considerable results. But In 1811
ho became satislicd from the successful ex
periments , lirst of the Illustrious chomlst ,
Achnrd , and afterwards from the favorable
reports presented by Achnrd , Koppy nnd
Doycux , that the manufacture of beet sugir
could bo made a great success , lie moved for
its development with his usual vigor and de
termination , and two years later , 181'J , 831
small factories were in operation in Franco ,
producing about one-half of the supply for
that country.
A small start had also been made in Ger
many. Then came the continental wars , and
the beet-sugar manufacture languished. In
1823 almost a now start had to ho made. Ger
many , following Franco , soon commenced , in
a moderate way , to dovclopc the Industrv '
through the stimulus of lloer.il subsidies o'f
ono kind and another. lint the great ad
vance commenced about 1800 , nnd the growth
of this Industry since that time has been
enormous. Germany has now become the
chief sugar-producing and the largest sugar-
exporting country In the world. She has nn
average tnritt on imports of : t j cents a pound ,
und an acknowledged export bounty of 1'r '
cents per pound , which , under tbo general
system of rebates , together with the methods
before reform ! to. undoubtedly results in a
net average bounty of ft least'J cents.
III the same years , in the onlorabovo given ,

Mr. President , another of the very unfor
tunate acts of tlio conference committee , In
: ny opinion , is the elimination from the
nmandcil bill , as passed by the senate , of th-3
provision provlaiofr for the establishment of
a permanent tartiT commission. As I recently
stated In u speech delivered hero upon the
ffi'iiornl subject o ( the tariff , I inn sure the
creation of u commission would bo ono of tlio
most useful consummations in ourlejrlslation ,
Tariff adjustments should bo maile by nonpartisan -
partisan agencies. This whole subject should
bo removed from party polities and placed
within the Uomaiuof a quasi-Judicial tribunal.
Ave should then learn for the llrsttlmc , ns I
believe , what is the actual amount of protec
tion needed by Industries to counterbalance
the Increased labor cost abroad.
I am convinced that wo will never ascertain
these facts until this method Is adopted.
Until that time , J Ir. President , our tariffs will
necessarily bo monuments to the log-rolling
abilities of delegations anil compromises be
tween conflicting interests la which imbllo
interest must often yield to private demand.
Without a chiuiRO In methods the losultmust
be , as it now is , entirely satisfactory to but
few and uns-atlsfactory In the highest degrco
to the many.

In conclusion , Mr. President , I repeat what
I said at the outset. With no personal Inter
est to subserve , bearing only in mind the
state and the &ection which in part I have the
honor to represent , I feel it my duty to cast
my vote against an indorsement of this con
ference report. I should bo glud to bo sup
ported in my position by my associates nnd
Iriemls , from whom It Is always painful to
differ , but I must maintain my position if I
am forced to do so alone. I could have voted ,
Mr. President , as a republican nnd as a pro
tectionist for the bill lu It was amended by
the senate , not because I felt it the best pos
sible , but , perhaps , the best practicable
under the circumstances , and ono in which
at le.ist substantial concessions had been
made to the needs of the west.
I could have defended it among my neoplo
as a practical demonstration of the intention
of a republican congress to deal with the self-
confessed blndcr-twlno trust which arro
gantly and defiantly braved assault from the
farmers of the west wlillo It operated to rc-
duce the profits on every bushel of wheat
raised in the trans-Missouri country.
I could have pointed to free blndlng-twlnoas
as nn earnest that republican performance
kept pace with republican promise , and that
combinations to advance prices would bo
hereafter mot with the threatof congressional
action and world-wide competition.
I could luvo shown other Important reduc
tions in duties mudo in the scnuto which
would have been worth hundreds of thous
ands of dollars annually to the settlers of the
far westbut which have disappeared throueh
the comiiromlscsof the conference committee ,
t could have pointed to satisfactory protec
tion 'for the beet-sugar manufacture1 , un
actual infant industry , in which every farmer
of the west , and Indeed of the whole country
is interested , nnd which In Its operation
would have given on our soil practical
demonstration of the bcnclits of wise protec
tion la cheapening production aud in diversi
fying Industry.
With Tno bill ns passed by this body I
would not have hesitated to go before west
ern republicans nnd democrats alike , defend-
infjmy every vote before u tribunal of the
people , standing as n republican and protec
tionist and advising concurrence and Indorse-
ment of the moasiirens n whole.howover sub
ject It might have been to criticism ou tlio
Individual schedules and paragraphs. But I
cannot honestly and consistently' indorse this
confcrcnc.0 report. It yields , ns I believe , in
essential features the concessions which the
pcoplo of my state have demanded and for
which ns ono of their representatives 1 have
struggled. And the only in.miior hi which i
can timlio my protest effective Is by a remoii-
stranco which ends only with the consumma
tion of tno vote Indorsing the result. * attained.
I mustdo this regardless of the consequences
quences tp myself , and In honest compliance
with what. ! bcllovo toberoriresentallvoduty.
1 have not , Blr , ouo penny's worth of piisonul
Interest , past , present or proMwctlvo , in any
industry affected by this bill. All that I
possess , or hope to possess In this world. Is
within the boundarU's ot Nebraska. Her
property nnd her fortunes tire neceswily

self to own , a sunroof Mock affected by the
fluctuations of Will street , nor nm I inter
ested , directly or Indirectly , In any oertllleuto
of any hind or iruturc , whoso value the dofont
or passage of any net of legislation could

Whatever crltlcUm my position may evoke
from unity associates or political opponent * ,
1 slum nt fo.iBt bo acquitted In the court of my
own conscience from the charge of disap

As I would have voted ns n republican for

a new conference may bo ordered upon the
bill. _

CAMP POINT , 111. , Oct. ! ) . To the Editor of
Tnr.IJiii ; : The undersigned has received n
number of letters from citizens of Nebraska ,
censuring him severely for having furnished
Tin : OMUI.V DEU the article which appeared
over his signature In the Issue of Juno 2fl.
From these letters it is evident that prohibi
tionists , who claim to have a monopoly of the
Intelligence of the land , nro either Ignorant
of the meaning of plain Engllsh , or clso they
knowingly nnd intentionally violate the ninth
commandment of the decalogue. AVlll you
be so kind ns to KIVO mo sp-ico In your widely
circulated journal to enlighten these men a
little 1
Gentlemen prohibitionists , in. the article
above referred to I say : "Choice Is essential
to the formation of a moral character. "
You charge mo with teaching that "Temp
tation is essential to the formation of amoral
character. "
Is it possible that you do not know
the difference between an opportunity
to I'hooio between right and wrong and a
temptation to sin I Or do you Intentionally
nnd maliciously ciiluniinalo your huniblo
ai , 'i'ii\ * 1 'Pnlrln r iln innut . > ) m . ! tnltlrt vlmv nf

the matter , I will assume that you did It
through ignorance ; nnd I will proceed to
provo to a demonstration tnnt there Is n wide
difference between n temptation to sin and nn
opportunity to ehooso between right and
wronp. To tempt ono to sin Is to try to induce -
duce him to sin. Plcaso bear this in mind.
The blhlo tells of a man who ( javo to ono
servant Hvo talents , to another two and to an
other ono. Ho thus gave each of these ser
vants mi opportunity to make a good or a bad
\isoof the money which ho gave him. Ho
pave cauh au opportunity to ehooso between
right aud wrong- , but ho did not tempt them
to sin.
When George Washington placed Benedict
.Arnold In command of West Point , ho gave
him un opportunity to do n grand service to
his country , but ut the same time he , neces
sarily , pnvchim nn opportunity to do a great
mischief to his country. IIo gave him an op
portunity to ehooso between right and wrong.
Ilnt Washington did not tempt Arnold to be
come n traitor.
When the pcoplo of Nebraska Induct
ono of their fellow citizens Into the ofllco of
state treasurer , they gtvo him an oppoitunity
to ehooso between right and wrong , but they
do not tempt him to uocomo a defaulter.
The truth Is the moral law gives man the
opportunity to choose whether ho will or will
not obny it ; to choose whether they will do
right or wrong. Man Is so constituted that
wcro ho denied the opportunity to choose bo-
t.veen right and wrong , society could not ex
ist a day. And yet , gentlemen , you nro con
stantly teaching , thnt : "Jtls the duty of the
state "to remove temptation out of men's
way , " by which you mean , that it is its duty
to remove the opportunity for men to ehooso
between right nnd wrong , or rather the op
portunity to do wrong : which really means
the same thing. It is this Idea , of making It
impossible for men to obtain intoxicants to
drink , thnt makes prohibition &o popular with
n certain class.
The Juice of grapes , apples , psaches , black
berries , currents , chitrrics , etc. , exposed to
the air undergoes vinous fermentation , and
nlcoholls funned. Ko snno man supposes
thnt a law can bo placed upon the statute
book thnt would arrest this process In nature.
A law may bo enacted prohibiting
the manufacture und snlo of intoxi
cants ; but such n law would no more
mukolt impossible for men to obtain alco
holic liquor , than a law prohibiting theft
makes it impossible for men to steal. Noth
ing but a miracle could make it impossible
for men to obtain intoxicants. God has not
made it the duty of the state to work a mira
cle. Therefore , It Is high tlmo that you stop
telling us that it Is the duty of tlio state to
remove temptations out of men's way. Tom-
uoraiico cannot bo promoted by deluding the
musses.
You Inquire : "How can wo stop the li
quor tratllol" I reply : "As the trufilc in
shrines for the goddess Diana was stopped ,
by stopping the demand for thoin , so the
tralllo in liquor can bo stopped hy stopping
the demand for it. Alcohol , like other artl-
closs ot commerce , is governed by the law of
demand nnd supply. If wo would perman
ently close the saloon wo must first remove
the cause which brought U Into existence.mid
which still feeds and supports It the drink
ing u-agcs of society. It wo would Mop men
from drinking , and prevent tlio rising gener
ation from forming an appetite for strong
drink , drunkenness must bo made odious.
This cannot bo done by laying the guilt of
the drunkard upon the liquor vender. Hut
It caa bo done by disfranchising and
declaring ineligible to any ofllee , ot trust or
honor , for ono year , the man who shall drink
to intoxication , nnd likewise the man who
shall furnish the liquor to ono who drinks to
intoxication. Put such a law upon the statute
books of every state in the union , and you
will nt onro btop the nefarious practlcoof
treating to purchase votes. Aspirants to
ofllco will then bo afraid to furnish any of
their political friends with liquor , lest some
of thorn might drink to Inebriety
on the liquor which ho furnished ; for this ho
would have forfeited his right to hold ofllcc ,
and the other would have lost his f ranchlso.
Stop the vile practlcoof furnishing liquor for
political purposes , and you will cut off a largo
rovcnuo from the saloon. Millions that now
go into the coffers of the liquor vender , annually -
nually , will uo longer go there. Make the
saloon business unprotitnblo and you will
noon close the saloon. This is the rational ,
the philosophical , the spiritual mode of deal
ing with the liquor ti-.itllc , and of promoting
temperance. " S. HUNHV ,
