the neglect of —it may be in some degree of T. T. himself, and the officers of the law, whose duty it is now, and always has been | to enforce that Act the same as any other in the criminal code, that comes within | their jurisdiction.

Had this been always done since the ad-! option of the Act, and not as in some cases by spasmodic efforts, I am strongly inclined to believe with many more of the temper- | ance community, that T. T. would not now. have any cause to complain of its being a} failure, neither wuuld he have cause to | complain of temperance men being * ‘zealots ;"’ yet if he takes the trouble to read Galations chap. 4 v., he may there learn a lesson.

Sut 1 come new to his charge that **Pro- hibitory measures have failed wherever | they have been introduced and will ever | fail.” (/) Verily, “this is a Daniel, &e.,” | &c. No doubt he has authority for making | such an assertion without giving the proof, | but this is avery poor way of establishing his cause.

Now, Sir, with all due deference to T.

T. and his eulogium of Summa Theologica and St. Thomas of Aquino, allow me to produce some instances [ have under my

hand, showing how Prohibition fails (/) where it has been tried for sonie time past.

The following among many others 1 can produce ought to convince T. T. that his assertion is lacking the essential element— { truth.

In a paper published in New York, and from which I now quote, an Atlanta cor- respondent, writing of the result of Pro- hibition, in that city, says :—

‘Real estate men say that rents and pay- ments for property bought on the instalment plan by the poorer classes of people are easier to collect now than ever before at this time of the year; and they say that money that form- erly went into the saloon is now applied to the payment of debts and building of homes.

“In this State, i. ¢., Georgia, the Supreme Court has recently decided against the claims for compensation. ’

Another item from the same State. The ‘sale of *‘agaric”’ or *“‘new era beer” has met with a sudden check in Atlanta’ In a recent case the Judge, in charging the jury, said :—‘‘If agaric is a name used as a device to cover a concoction of whiskey or brandy or other form of alcohol, and if new era beer is a disguise of -Jager-beer or other intoxicating malt liquor, the acumen of the law is keen enough and the straight for- ward common sense of a trial jury is sound enongh to penetrate through such attempts to evade the law and reach the core and truth of the matter.” The offender in this case was acquitted for want of sufticient evidence, but as soon as the verdict was announced, Judge Van Epps again ad- dressed the jury, saying:—*‘lf agaric is an alcoholic beverage a concoction of whiskey or brandy, or some other form of ..intoxi- cant, with something else, its new fangled name will-neotsave at. -If the new era Leer is a product.of malt and hops, and an intoxicating liquor, the fact that it. is scudding under such a press of modern canyass in the name selected for it will mot save it. The grand jury will soon meet—a sworn request,”

The recent decisions of Judge Van Epps and Recorder Anderson, have convinced the wine-room proprietors, one of whom has been tined $1000 for violating the pro- hibitory law, that it will be too expensive aud inconvenient for them to continue the business. The Journal of that city says **Many of the wine-room proprietors are seriously cousidering the idea of closing out

1886.

and retiring from the business, and leaving about half a dozen of the principal oues to conduct the sale ot domestic wines by the bottle.”

And still another paper, the Constitution, ‘says: ‘Atlanta isas dry this hioriing #8 lany city or towa in the State of Georgia, and the dryness is due to the Wine-room men’s voluntary refusal to further violate the law actually or apparently.”

Thus prohibition does prohibit in the city of Atlanta.

On this same point I also adduc:> the fact

that ‘‘Judge Van Epps, of the Circuit Court. of Fulton County, Georgia, in his giving judgment against an Atlanta wine- room illegal liquor seller, recently said : ‘** The Legislat ure did not propose to ex- change the devil for a witch and to set up wholesale prostitution by wines in place of wholesale prostitution by whiskeys.” He sentenced the offender te pay a five of 31000 and in default thereof to be put to Jabor on public works for one year.” , Again let **True Temperance” learn that | prehibition does prohibit. In reference to ‘‘True Temperance’s” allusion to scripture authority, I would kindly direct his atien- tion to only one passage on the subject, and in my estimation it goes further than prohibiting, berause it reads :—‘‘Look not upon the wine when it is red,” &c., &e., see Prov. 25, 31.

Now, Sir, if a person never looks upon the thing thus forbidden they will not be likely to go astray by its use.

Trusting that the facts as stated alove may teach ‘“‘True Temperance to give the proof ior his assertion, and not leave them so bald, he may yet accomplish more govd than in his production of the 2nd inst.

[ remain, Sir, Very Sincerely, A Trek PROFIBITIONIST.

prices for the small stock which rema‘ns un- sold. Nova Scotia No. 1 are not offering under $14.50, and some are held at $15. No. 2 are firm at $13.50 to $14. Dealers are more willing to buy No. 3 at $8 to $8.50, but a little higher range is asked. A lot of 30 bbls of new salt Mackerel was landed at New York on Friday, the first of the season. Fares of fresh continue te be brought into New York and Philadelphia, but the fish run very small in size and poor in quality. No receipte of salt Mackerel at Boston for the week ending Friday.

Expert of Wheat.

The export movement of wheat and wheat flour from the United States. Atlantic aud Pacific ports, is now. nearly equal to 3,000,000 bushels weekly. Of the quantity of wheat aud wheat flour on pass- age for the United Kingdom more. than 76 per cent. is from the United States, indicat- ing moderate supplies from other quarters of the globe. The weekly domestic con- sumption of wheat and wheat flour for food and manufactures is about 5,400,000 bushels, and this, with about 3,000,000 bushels per week for export, is diminishing the reserves about 8,400,000 per week. In tep weeks (to July 1 next) this rate of sup- plying home and foreign wants would call for 84,000,000 bushels. The exports of wheat and wheat flour from the United States, Atlantic and Pacific ports, from July 1, 1886, to April 24, 1887, have been equal to about 128,000,000 bushels of wheat, a quantity equal to all our surplus from the crop harvested in 1886. Present exports are being madé from the reserves on hand July 1, 1886. Estimates of the size of the reserves carried over July 1, 1886, range from 75,000,000 to 85,000,000 bushels.

New Application of Paraffine.

It has been lately discovered that it renders leather waterproof. Being coated several times with paraffine and oil, it is exposed to heat,by which it rapidly absorbs the mixture. The leather thus heated gives wut, when struck, a .wooden sound like gutta-percha, an: lasts much longer than ordinary leather made into boots and shoes. Parattine is of excellent use in pre- serving the polished surface of iron and steel. When warmed and rubbed on the metal, and then rubbed off with a woolen rag, it acts like varnish, and preserves the polish, whether it be light or blue.
