The MekKuinley Bill.

Tue Clerk of the Committee on Ways and Means expresses the following import- ant opinion, which agrees with the state-

inent published by THe Examiner yester-

day. We quote the Washington corres-

pondence of the Boston Evening Journal :

*‘Numerous inquiries are received from various sections of the country asto the time when the bill will go imto effect. The date specitied is July 1, 1890. This, however, has no special significance, and was inserted as usual in every case of this kind merely to fill ina blenk. ‘The exact time when tie bil! will take effect will depend on the date of its pas- sage. It is not probable that it will reach the Senate and be prepared for the consideration of that body prior to June 1, and it is not likely therefore thatit can be finally enacted in time tw become operative on July 1. This isan important question to the commercial

and .industria! interests of the country, and according to the letters received here’ there is considerable prostration in consequence of this uncertainty, and particularly in the sugar refining busi-

ness. Dealers hesitate to make any purchases beyond what are absolutely necessary to sup- ply daily demands, and the result is a general stagnation in business as weli asa falling off in the production of manufactures, If the bill isnot passed until about the Ist of July it is pretty certain that it will not be made operative until Jan. } next, and it may be that the date will be delayed until July 1, 1891. With only two months remaining of the present fiscal year, and considering the time that will be consuumed in consideration of the bill in the two houses, itis believed that ne alarm need be felt by business men in reference to its being made operative from the Ist of July next, nor is it likely that it will be operative on the Ist October, for the reason that the Ist of January would be the beginning of the calendar as well as the middle of the fiscal year, and that the time intervening between the passage of the bill and the Ist of Jan- uary would not be too great to enable the business interests of the country to adjust themselves to the new order of things.” ——_____—_—__-o+ e+e

These changes are all in the right direc- tion. The Government party deserve credit, particularly for that which has been made in respect to mortgagees.

The Muail’s correspondent has been mis- inormed. THe Exam'xgn has enquired inte the matter and finds that no such mor- tality amongst cattle exists.

—The decline of the British hop industry has lately beer the subject of enquiry by « parliamentary committee. Evidence was given to show that the reduced demand for hops was not through the use of hop sub- stitutes in brewing, but owing to a change in the taste of the public, which now prefers a much less heavy beer than formerly, and, in fact, is approaching in its demands a liquor as light as lager. The reduction in the strength of the beer all over England has in two years amounted to ten per cent., and the liking for a non-intoxicating article has affected the intoxicating properties of the hop as well as alcoholic strength. The marked preference shown by English brew- ers for foreign hops is not due to their cheapness, but to their having more “rub” in them, so that two pounds of continental hops are equal to three pounds of Weald or Kent hops. ‘his difference is largely ascribed to the Eaglish grower aiming at a large yield per acre, while the German growers of the best hops look rather to ob- taining large fruit.

—The temperance people of England were a'lup in arms on the oth inst. Telegrams rained down from all quarters of the coun- try upon the members of the House of Commons, urging them to oppose with might and main the new licensing scheme of the Government. Whenever a move- ment of this sort is going on the temper- ance party show much greater activity and strength of organization than their oppon- ents. They seem to have unlimited means at their command and they all move as by a single spring. Consequently the pressure was entirely in one direction, and no doubt it would have had its effect had the vote been taken. The tee- totallers like to take time by the forelock, and they may flatter themselves that they scared Mr. Smith into postponing the bill for at least a week. Meanwhile the alarm will be sounded from one end of the King- dom tu the other, and it will not be at all surprising if the Ministry should have to drop its bill, as it dropped the correspond- ing provisions in the Local Government Act.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

The Temperance Question.

Sin,—W hat a pity it is that a question of philanthropy, such as Temperance is, cannot be fairly discussed without so sad an exhibi- bition of insincerity as has marked several letters lately published in THe EXAMINER; and outside of that, the exceeding unloving insinuation freely made in society by temper- ance (?) advocates, that the young barrister, who has had the courage to express openly his convictions, has been actuated either by his affinity with the ‘trum party,” or is mak- ing a professional bid,—he acutely foreseeing that teetotal principles will not, for a long time, be in the ascendancy. Nothing could be more hateful than this sort of prejudging. Prohibition, high license, Scott Act, are open questions upon which the best and noblest of minds and hearts to-day are differing. For example: 1t is well known that that the Rev. Chancellor, Dr. Howard Crosby—one of the most eminent among American citizens, noted for his brave opposition to evil,and cts of pub- lic phi!anthropy—has all along opposed prohbibi- tion from principle and utility. True, he has been hounded on account of this by short- sighted, rabic, enthusiasts. But he stands above the reach either of insinuation or ac- cusatiou,

When the endeavor is made to injure a young man’s chsracter by reflecting unfairly and after the most un-Christian-like style, upon his motives, no language too strong can be used in condemnation of such a course, The cause of temperance is good— yea, holy—and is grievously injured in the eyes of the people by such evil methods. The climax was reached by the divine who, when conceiving himself the antagonist of a brother minister, penned for THE EXAMINER, under a very un-divine and un-Pauline afflatus, his uncharitable judgment that that brother had ‘*mistaken his calling.” Does not the rev. gentleman see whut a terrible sweep bis blind claymore makes against the Founder of Chris- tianity and against St. Paul, inthe notable case of his dealing with the communicants of Corinth? Well may Synods pause in their sanctions upon this grave question. Uncharity always, in the end, is daringly presumptive. W hat is against love is against Essenti:l Love. P.esumptuous, foolish enthusiasts would pro- hibit and abolish the devil and every source of temptation. But God does not. He is wise and good. He has said that character on earth shall develop by resisting the devil and temptation. Evil and excess of every descrip. tion visit their sad results not only on the evil- doer but widely beyond him. Temptation cannot be abolished by act of any parliament but the one in heaven. It should be clear by this time that the function of human law is not to abolish the sources of temptation, but to restrain men from yielding to temptation, and that for the good of _ society. It is the Christian privilege, freedom, of an individual, or of a whole community of such individuals, to deny to themselves the use of wines and beers, It is not their privilege to force any one else, or any number of persons into the same custom. Upon this point British freedom is Christian liberty. Again apply a little logic to prohibition. Intoxicat- ing drinks are often injurious and even fatal, and, moreover, bring misery by their misuse upon whele homes. Therefore the manufac ture and sale of them shall be prohibited. But arsenic, etc., etc., often result fatally, and bring sorrow to whole homes. ‘Therefore the manufacture and sale of arsenic, etc., must be prohibited. Thieving is injurious to many and brings misery to the thief's wife and children. Therefore the articles which the thief is addicted to steal shall be abolished. The social evilis greater than that of drunk- ness. Pray, how should we set about abolish- ing that with our prohibitory methods? How would it look in a syllogism ?

True, temperance reform has an infinitely better method of reasoning than this. True and wise Christian reform knows the resources of evil too well to waste time in the vain task of abolishiag the devil and his works in any other way than that of changing the hearts of men. It temperance (?) enthusiasts could and would use Christian persuasion, Christian love, Christian sclicitude for the personal salvation of the rum-seller and drunkard, and learn to be charitable towards those who are in mental conflict with them as to exact methods of philanthropy ; if they could be less jealous of one another, and more loving to- wards all, we should be in a short time much nearer to the millenium than centuries of the present form of crusading will fetch the world to that love-triumphant day.
