Score Another Success

Last Night-Conclusive Argumentsfor the Cause of Temperance-Reasons' Why a National Prohibi- tory Law Can be Enforced.

_ Another grand success was scored by the Ptobihitionists at the meeting last night in the Opera. Despite the oppressiveness of the weather the audi- torium was comfortably filled.

Mayor Warburton presided- and' made

a few well chosen remarks. He was supported on the platform by Premier Farquharson. Rev. G. M.Campbell,Mr. Seaman the President of the Plebiscite Association, Hon.David Laird, Mr.Wm. Boyivnndvther gent-lemon, White-inany other prominent business men had seats in the auditorium.

In his opening remarks the Mayor

spoke highly of |the addresses of the series aiready delivered and stated that the topics of yesterday evening’s effort were those which called for most attention in the present discussion.

Miss \Valton sang a sweet little bal- lad. °-A Rosebud Kissed by the Dew,”. which :delighted the audience and in. rtsponse to a recall, exhibited the rich deep tones in her pure contralto in the well known “Mi.1pah”. After the address she sang very tenderly the dreamy “Lullaby my Baby.”

As it is the intention of the Plebiscite

Association lo publish a very extended report of Mr. Buchanan’s address, we will give but n. brief synoposis at this time. Although he warned his audience that the subjects to be treated did not tend themselves to eloquence and rhetoric, there was not a dull moment in the hour and a half which he occupied. It is`not too much to say that he utterly, demolished all the ob- jecticns raised to prohibition on the score of revenue, and that ina most reasonable, gcntlemanly manner, entirely freejrom extreme or sweeping statements.

lle opened up by rtpuiiialing the

suggestions that temperance reformers had abandoned moral suasion and unlertaken to make men sober by Act of ParlTament. Ile pointed out that the philosophy of thc reform, had been the szvne from the beginning, and that the nim was in ie educzre society and carry it over bo:li\_v:to new views and _right prtctices with respect to the use of alcoholic lquors. ln the development

SURPRiSESQAPislhsnam¢-

MR. W. W'. BUCHANAN.

of this great work we had come upon a time when thc strength of the evil lay I in a powerful tiallic entrenched behind custom and law and it was the immedi- ate demand of the Reform that this lratlic which is the source ol the miech’cf, and the chief obstacle and further progress should be outlawed and repressed. It was the great aim of the cause ti win to the side of virtue those who had conscience and heart, and by prohibition it was only proposed to restrain those who - have neither. I

He analyzed the statement that seven

millions went into the public ti l from strong drink, marking that it came out ofthe pockets- of the taxpayers, lessen- ing their ability and capacity for paying ,_

pat upo q s c e pur poses than for drink and reduced the sum to less than four millions, without figuring out a single dollar of indirect cost. He than showed by a number ef actual ex riences in the financial '

the necessity of direct taxation was tle merest buncomhe. He painted a glow-‘ ing picture of the industrial boon, and

commercial iposperity that would fol- low the turm g of the forty millions now spent directly for drink into the legitimate channels of trade. and the enrichment ofthe treasury consequentn upon this increased trade, and estab- lished what seemed to be an incontro- vertihle casesfoifsustaining the proposi- tion he set out with, that there would not be the loss of a single dollar, to the revenue by the enactment and enforce- ment of proiibilion.

In the discussion of the question of

“enforcement” he incidentally paid a high compliment to the press of the province, and congratulated the Prohi- bitionists upon the powerful backing they had in a clean, honest, fair and favorable fourth estate, “unawed by in- , fluence and unbirbed by gain,-” and the- period was warmly applauded. He did not approve of loading up the law book p with statutes, and believed there was I far too much legislation. As 2. deme- cratic people. we had gone to seed in the line of legislation. lt should be a ques- tion of getting a new condition in so- ciety, not a new law in the statute book. Law should only be a means to an end. We had tar too much law now upon the liqntr question, ard law which was not respected. but was frequent ly and ilagratillv violatttl. lt was high tin_e we subs'ituN=d for the mass ot' legislation lumbering up the staiuta books, something mo c simple more e oily enfotc -d. and more gener- 1alIy respected, lie laid strong emplii-I sis upon the f.~.cl tl a if was not ltlcaln prchib tion nor even Provint-i il Prohi- bition that we were askel lto give nur opinion up n on the 29th cf Sept. lu. national prohibition, a setzled Solid poicy for the whole country, enforced by the highest adrdnistration of the Do- minion,with full powor over the sources of supply. llc also d alt with the ques- ttion, What it Effective Enforcement? in a -very satiefictory fashion, showing that it is not necessarily the ecedication . of an evil but its reduction to the lowest possible minimum.

Mr. Seaman, the President of the Al liince. promised the people a rare _treat to-night, Mr. Buchanan will give his famous fable lecture, ‘-An Evening I with Prohibition Aesop," illustrated by lime light. '
