LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Scott Act in Prince County.

Sir,—The Temperance people of Prince County have before them a magnificent opportunity to strengthen the hands of all temperance workers throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion. If, on the 7th of February, they make a strong rally in favor of the Canada Temperance Act, they will help to decide the struggle be- | tween virtue and immorality in many other |} places. By doing this the liquor sellers and their friends will see that temperance men are in earnest and determined to stand by their principles. But if the Act receives only a half hearted support, the liquor in- | terest will keep teg+ther and h: pe to renew | the Struggle at the end of another three years with more suecess than at present. | Therefore the temperance friends must give

with Lord Rossmore, and denouncing the|such # heavy vote that liquérdom may

receive a most anmistakable notice to quit.

The Dublin corporation has decided to| We do not want to be ip a state of unrest mangled underneath the first rake of boxes | grant the use of the City Hall for a meet-| for another three years

And we do not | want any elections to be necessary either in | Queen’s or King’s.

Let the significance of the vote given be | that the traffic in health and virtue, and in human life, must never be legalized again in P. E. Island. The voice and vote of the people have placed it outside the bar of all respectable cailings. There—degrad- ed and outlawed—it must remain. And the call which has been heard in Prince County to admit it again for another trial among the fellowship of hovorable indus- tries, comes not from those who have suffered, but from those who expectto stand behind counters and deal out at the same time strong drink. mingled with all mani er of evils. It may mean a living in comfort for them; but it means a life of misery aud a death of shame to many of their cus- tomers. This business flourishes at the expense of every other legitimate business. It is an Ishmael—the enemy of all, the friend of none. Just in proportion as it prospers everything that is useful and necessary to our comfort and well being decays. It sustains and nourishes our prisons and penitentiaries; but it empties our Sabbath Schools and Churches. Out- side of all legal protection it has been placed; there, in its proper place at last, it must remain,

Those who have had to,travel over the Island during the last few months, must have noiiced the marvellous change for the better. It is true, drunken men are occa- sionally encountered ; but they are few as compared with former times, In other words driving ig not rendered dangerous by the furious: driving of. men under the influence of what Pringe County people are now asked to give people permission to sell, We have no right. to give men per- mission to do harm, no matter whether they pay $50 or $500 for that permission. Liquor . selling has never been separated from its legitimate fruits of poverty, im- morality, crime and bloodghed. Let the temperance peeple show by their yotes that they are not ‘ready to be partakers in this traflic. If some people, in defiangs of all law, are ready to assume the whole fearful responsibilities themselves, let them do &o. But let the temperance people never lift a hand to authorize anyone to do what they would not dare to do themselves. By authorizing another-to sell liquor we be- come partakers in all the acts resulting from that authorization, As the law stands at present, temperance people are ertirely clear from any and al] evil resulting from the liquor business. All the gaping wounds and festering sorea resulting from the liquor business are crying to Heaven for venge- ance. But they are crying for vengeance upon the unhappy head of the liquor seller's alone. Let us never be partakers of their sins! People of Prince County, thousands | of earnest, prayerful med and women will turn towards you during the next few days. Rally like one man, and that man tremend- ously in earnest, and record your votes against the Canada Licensing Law.
