——&.__¢.Q

The meeting last night was the best yet. . The hull was crowded with intelligent ectors. ,

Alex. l\IcKinnnu, Es(1., pre_~;ided_ On the platform. among others, were

‘nu. G. W. Bentley, Commissioner of (-‘‘''‘“'I1 I-find-*_. Hon. A. B McKenzie, most of the city clergy and others.

REV. MR. CARRUTHERS

was the first speaker. In speaking of the statistics published of the arrests for drunkenness in each province he said he had written the Deputy Minister of Jus- tice and that official had replied that they are worthless.

We are told that under license il- licit taverns could not exist. In 1879 the Provincial government dismissed the Inspector of Licenses. Then they were asked to l't‘.-iillplllll him and in 1880 Hon. Mr. Sullivan brnugllt in :\ bill to appoint three luspectors as one was not suflicicnt to overtake the illicit tnverris that existed all over the land. In Ilalifnx under License the illicit taverns have increased 2 to 1—~some say 5.

The issue before us is, Shall we throw the sanction of law ab mt the men now in the tmfiic. The same men are in the trade who were there when the Govern- ment appointed the three inspectors, and these same man are asking you to return to License. "lie E.v:v.nm'ne-r says the Act is not enforced. But the Eraminer has balked the enforcement of the Act,-it has published in its columns everything possible it could find against the Act to influence public opinion against it. If it had wrought as it might there would have been a great. difference in the enforce- ment of the lnzv.

Did the temperance people carry out their promises? A prosecutor was ap- pointed, and altliought the liquor putty captured the council and dismissed the Prosecutor, we laid over 600 informati-ms during the past three _veara—more than was laid during the six years previous. lf the Act was not being enforced why did the liquor party attempt and succeed in capturing the City Council and then dismiss the Prosecutor? And we intend to do more to enforce the Scott Act in the future than ever before whether you elect a council opposed to us or not.‘ We have no personal interests to serve. There is not a enny in this contest for those on the si e of the Scott Act. But we are under obligations to do what we can for our fellow men. (Applause)

MR. SPE_NCE

In coming forward again invited and urged the opponents of the Scott Act to put a man up to oppose him. “ Surely,”- said he ironically, “we can getone man to say that the Scott Act is bad. (Cries of Muore—\vho was present. coming forward Mr. Spence continued.) If no one will come forward he would be

ing in this hall to thank God for the vic-

tory of the Scott Act, and to ask y nix . cooperation to have it as thoroughly cn-

enforceri in the future as the men 0 Charlottetown can enforce it. We want the men to come who don't think we have done enough to’ enforce the law-the men who think that instead of 10 rumsel- lers 150 should be in yourjail. Come and help us. D »n’t go around whining. And you who won’t help, don't grumble about the temperance people not doing enough, but who do three times as much as you do. Come up like men and help us. Of course they break the Scott Act in Charlottetown. They steal chickens in Ontario just the same way as they sell rum here. Suppose I were to go round to-night and steal a few chickens and then go around to-morrow and brag about how easy it is to steal chickens notwith- standing the law, what would you think of me? If men will violate a law by sneaking methods don’t blame the law. The contest to be fought on Thursday next is only one phase of that battle Every branch of the Christian church has declared against this evil. Here extracts were read from the several church bodies in Canada to prove this, giving also the number of adherents of each church The extracts read set forth in unmistaka- able language the evils of li nor. In favor of the Scott Act the V0106 of the churches was strong and forcible. The Methodist Conference in line with the rest adds : “ The liquor trafiic can never be legalized without sin.” Mr. Spence asked his hearersfito mark that. The church of England says that the moral, intellectual or social condition of the people can never be high while liquor exists in their community. In the Cath- ojic body the opinions of Cardinal Mun- ning,Cardinal Taschereau and the Plenary Council which recently met at Baltimore enumerating the evils of intoxicants, urging all Christians to stamp out the evil. The resolution passed 135' this Council was set to the Pope and his Holi- ness sent his reply John Ireland. Amlh‘ mshnp of Minnesotta showing that he was in unaminity with the Council‘.

spleiiditl work in literature. How dare t iey disgrace so noble a country and gl‘:|llll a history as theirs. In thatcountry was born one of the noblest temperance workers, Father Matthew, that ever lived on this earth, and he consecrated his life to the emancipation of his fellow- countrymen from the effects of rum. He in.-iugurnt d the first temperance move- ment in Ireland, the benefits of which we are renpiu_( to-day, as Protestants as well as Catholics signed his pledge. When Father Matthew crossed over to En land the people flockel to him and he placed the pledge of his temperance movement sround the neck of an Orangemnn as the ‘latter knelt before him. Kneeling there the man looked up into the grand Father’s conntc-mince and said “Is'n it strange that you a Catholic priest should be giving the pledge to me an Oran emnn.” Fath- er Matthew replied, “ ord bless you and I would’nt care if you were a Lemon man. ’

In 1838, 156,000 took the pledge, and by the year 1844, 5,440,000 had received the Father Mathew medal of Tut-41 Ab- stinence. In a few years the consumption of liquor went down from 12,000,000 to 5,000,000 gallons His own brother, a. large distiller. complained to him that his business was being ruined» “I can’t help it,” said the noble apostle of temperance, “I must go on ; change your trade, manu- facture flour for the people instead of whiskey.” Through the famine year he labored to alleviate the distress, and he influenced the British g6ve1'x11i1erit to give employment building roads and other public works. Along the line of work came the liquor seller to waste the earn- ings of the poor laborers. Father Mathew secured the prohibition of the traflic all along these lines of work. And so he labored in the promotion of temperance till he wcs called home. The greatest, noblest, bravest of 'l‘mnperancc workers that ever lived passed away‘ from earth. In a lcttul‘ to .-up priest in the north of Ira- land, Father Mathew declared Prohibition to be the only true and sensible solution of the question, and that this conviction was strengthened by twenty years ex- perience. -

I am now going to give you a number of facts which I b of you to ponder well and remember. \ -'e are told that we are too severe on this traffic ; that we ought to be more gentle.

If the traffic is wrong, it ought to be killed out at once, there should be ,no quarter given. Those who go into it in violation of the rights of society should be prepared to take the consequences.

The reports of the Chief of Police of Montreal. Toronto, where there are good license laws as can be devised, were cited to show that almost all the crimes committed were traceable to the drink habit. In Toronto, with its excellent license law and three inspectors and three hundred police, he was sorry to have to confess every tenth man gets drunk. g Had be time he would like to speak of the Latin races, he could only take time to speak of Paris, where 42 gallons per head of strong drink was consumed annually, where 60,000 citizens were placed in the jails, and where one-third of the births were illegitimate. —

Extracts were read from Booth’: “Darkest England "- to show‘that the wretchedness, poverty, deg.edation, pr-»~ fligacy of London and other cities of England, had their foundation in the drink habits of the people. Government officials set down -nineteen-twentiet,hs of the crimes and vices of Ireland, nine- tenths those of England. to the use of strong drink. .It is only too

gr 'ties is largely due‘i2>”‘~t§'§lC{-.iu-

he den of iniquity find their best friend drink, and’ the distiller was ri t, who at a meeting of liquor men ave the toast-—-“ the poor whore of the streets, is the distillate best friend.” The one is the aider and abettor of the other. There is not a house of ill fame in the world run on total abstinence principles.

It is not only the evil effects upon the idividual, but drink has a texrible effect pan the offs ring of its victims. Of this fact the recozds of poor houses, peniten- tiaries, and insane asylums give ample proof. High License was no cure for these calamities, on the contrary, the higher the fee the greater the evil. as more wealth was then put behind it, the saloons were made more attracting and alluring. He did not wish to worry the audience, be thanked them for their patience, but there was one word he wished to put upon the black-board before he closed. Red——the color for rum—pnt after it rum; red rum, spell it backwards and you get its true meaning—-murder. God help you that you may not mark your ballot on Thursday for turn, for murder, for the devastation of the homes of your city. In adopting license you suffer all the evils of the liquor traflic and then pay for it at the same time--pay for the privil- ege of going to perdition. It is just as possible for 2 and 2 to make 175 asfor the liquor traffic to give you a revenue. The financial aspect of this question is just as rotten as its moral aspect. Suppose you have 50 rumsellers and they pay a license of $200‘—$10,000 for the sanction of the law—a.nd even suppose that you won’t need to‘ a. single policeman, where do you suppose the liquor dealers would oi. the $10,000 to pay you? They wouldiimply thrust their hands down deep into your pockets, take out something like $150,- 000 annually and then hand you back $10,000 for the privilege.

What brought on the American rebel- lion was when the Southern prison doors were opened and the prisoners returned home shrunken, sick; scarred and dying. That's what stirred the‘ ‘North. and they swore they would wipe the rebellion from the land. And the rebellion with its slavery fell. Now, all over the land many are held in the bondage of rum, so rise on'Thursday next and wipe it out of your country for at least three years more.
