THE REVENUE.

The opponents of Prohibition have

made ‘-Revenue” their battle-cry and hope to frighten the people by a threat ot increased taxation. According to

y ou $.i9,t579,

854 iii the purchase of intoxicating beverages, and of this the government

$8,455,022 of revenue. This money

it. If a purchaser spends $0 for -lothes the result of the transaction iso that there is $5 cash in the clothier’s

, w ar to

protect him fiom the weather while lie earns more money, but the $5 spent in

money, and, instead would put him un- der the weather, thus preventing him from earning, and bringing dfiublc dis- aster to the purchaser. If a. prohibi tory law was enacted the mifney now spent in the purchase of intoxicantsi

Canada and thns increase its revenue

bing the country of labor, which means w =alth The farmer who ww hels of

of intoxicants does not improve' as ma‘n’s _ business capacity, nor in any way tit i him better for life’s duties, but on the .

other hand it destroys his ability to do ,

his b st, and robs the conntr of his la ‘

y _

bor and fre quently befoggs a genius that

might have greatly benefitted the land. 1

Some people wonder how we ciulil ;

get along without the revenue from the liquor tiaflic. The real subject for am-

azement is how we have ot alonv so

way. lt has hindered the commercial and social prosperity of Canada too leng. Remove this _evil from our path and note progress we will make.

DIRECT' TA~XATl0N.~

A few of our more reckless opponensi

declare that direct taxation must follow a piohibitory law. The present govern- ment is drifting from toe principles of direct taxation as quickly as possible When Hon. G. E. Foster, Ex-Finance Minister, remeived the sugar duties' he cut off about $3,500,000 of revenue, but a tariff re-adjustment made matters right. And no r.duction ot the revenue from the drink traflic will in_duce any government in Canada to resort to direct taxation at this junotui‘e.» It is s' mply nonsense.

CO)IPENSA'l`lON.~

It is sometimes argued that iveroiight-

to compensate those engaged in the liquor business in the evcnt of a prohi- bitory law being enacted. In this con- nection it is well to remember that the liquor trallic is not in reality a legal business. We have a prohibitary law against manufacturing and selling liquors, which prevents-all our citizens, except those specially licensed by the government, from engaging in the busi- ness. No matter how you qualify yourself for _the business- you ‘cannot engage in it except by such special permit.. All we wishtto do is to ask. the liquor sellers and manufacturers to conform to the same law as ~ we now obey. and prevent them from making and selling liquor also.-

The men-in this business, - engaged

in it knowing that prohibition was a possibility, and a probabil‘i"ty-- also. A license only lasts for one year and may then be cut off.‘Thvey> knew this, , 319133- fore. with them'it was simply a matter of specul-ttion. The business oiered excellent advantages for gain. _but there. was the risk oflosing their"licence or

well with this business standing ina the '

they freely chose to take. If the gov- ernment sees fit now to pass a prohibi- tory law then those in this speculative business must take the consequences, and if their venture proves a loss to them, they deserve no more at the hands of the people than any other un. fortunate speculator. The unfortunate families that, through no fault of theirs are tu ned bythe traffic are not com- pensaied.

CONDEMNS ITBELF .

The farmer views his fields of grain

with gladness and is proud of the pro- duct of his labor. The skilled me- chanic is proud of the result of his handiwork. 'lhe shoemaker exhibits the Dioduot of his labor with the re- marl§.°"l'hat is the kind of shoe 1 make. if you waht a pair of the same this is the place to come." Dies the l q ior seller- wh-in he turns out his fiiisned artit le. a dru ikird, remark ?“ There is a result of my nandiwo k, if you want io walk and look like him no one <-an do the job lor you better than I Z” No, but the better class of msn in the business keep drunken in in off their premises and _ are ashamed of them, thus we have the condemnation of the business by the men engag.-d in it as wt-ll as by those opposed io it.

AN ARBITRARY LAW .

Anti-prohibitionists claim that we

have no right to force upon thtma prohibitorv law to which they are op- posed. What right have they had to force upon us a license law, to which we have been opposed? By the author- ity ofthe majority th'»y foicsd us to conform toa license law. and bythe same authority they must obey apro- hihitory law. Law only regards per- sonal liberty when that does not con- iliot withcivil liberty. A ciiizen may own a piece of land in the centre of a city, he may puic-hiss lumber. but though he owns both the land and the lumter the city’s by-lavis may pieient him from building a wooden house.

Ontario. it also aff acted fruit trees. In this else odiiers were appoln ted. and in one section were paid some $224,00 o enforce the law, the result is that the San Jose Scale is gone. Public sentiment was against bl\ick.not as well as San J . se Scale but private citizens are not goingto turn self-constituted con- stables or infor ers to prosecute their neighbors for iqfractions of the law and frequently, while public sentiment may be against the crinie, public sympathy is with the criminal.

We do not want every offence against

a probibitorv law made a. first offence and a small fine imposed, let the iaw be carried out and the full penalies im-

breakers.

Good prosecutors, and magistrates

who will fearlessly do their duty can enforce a pr-ohibitory law, as they have enfoiced the Scott Act successfuliy in the Maritime Provinces. e

I am sltisfled that any government

that enacts a National prohibitory law, will give us the machinery to carry the law into effect, as t i refuse to enforce their law would be political suicide.

THE GOVERNMENT INSINCERE.

Some persons excuse themselves from

responsibility in this matter by claiming the government to be insincere. They may Le. or they may not be. the ques- tion is, are we sincire? Our duty is to inform our political servants. the 'gov- erninent, as io where _we stand, and if we e_xou:e our negligence by claiming

duty, then we are acting the vt-ry part for which we denounce the government.

Don`t play the doiib'e role of criminal

and judge. Do your duty. lf the gov- ernment then refuses to conform :o the demand of the people we have a remedy in the next general election. At pre- s nt our duty-is plain,it is to place our-

selves on record as either in favor of or

1

opposed to, the liquor traiiic.
