Dear sir,—-You will oblige by giving a lace Iliiyour y_ournal to_ the accompanying .;.¢a.ii;,.i in orination furnished by a Firm extensively in _the manufacture of alcoholic liquors “L ll'°|'II|I- and the remarks thereon by the Editor of the ﬁrst yournal of the sate (the Alta California) who is not all euineecsd with

e Teiii rance Movement ex as an in peudentyournal. Myrcason for re ting itis tliist_l conceive, tht the principle neolvgd in this important question, S all we destroy Rum, or shal_ Rum destroy us! is the same in all countries, where the manufacture and sale of it is.countena_nced by Law, and therefore any _thing said in connection therewith should be interesting. It will_bo perceived too, that the arguments of those on god in the traﬂic are the sonic everywhere. at to test the sincerity of these gentlemen, Law is required. Califor- nia has passed such a Law, not so stringent as Temperance men would like. (The exce tion being in favour of the manufacture of i/’Vine from the grape of California growth.) Yet a great st? is gained and Temperance men re- yoie_e. e have every reason to hope that the action of the friends of the Temperance Re- form will be such, as to induce our Le is- lature to pass a Law for this Island, which shall remove this Death spot from amen us.

CONSUMPTION OF SPIRITS. Messrs. J. G. Dows & Co., who are engaged in the business of distilling, communicate to the Herald some important statistics of the manufacture and consumption of spirits in this State. The capital employed is thus stated : Two distilleries in Marysville, $20,000

each $40,000 One distillery in San Jose 30,000 Six distilleries in San Francisco 305,000 Total $75,000

_ The same amount is supposed to be invested in brewcries—enough at any rate, in the o i- nion of Messrs. Dows & bo.,“to make t a total investment in distillerics and breweries seven hundred and ﬁfty thousand dollars. The like sum is required, at the lowest estimate, to stock and carry these establishments along, and employment of, say, two hundred and fifty labouring men daily.

“ The average consumption of domestic (dis- tilled) liquors in California for the last four years has ii full ﬁve thousand gallons per To produce that amount of liquor here, wil absorb one hundred and ten thousand pounds of barley per day: and to supply the malt liquors for the State will require as much more, making two hundred and twenty thou- sand unds of barley per day.”

We l ! is it not time to stop this? live thou- ssndgollons a day! That’s the secret of nine- tenths of _thc murders, thefts, robberies and arsons. Five thousand gallonsa day mp be sport to the manufacturers, but it is dcat to t e people! Five thousand gallons a day!- let us see what it is worth. Suppose it will

average 75 cents a gallon for the last four cars, at the wholesale, it would amount to 3,750 perday, and to $1,368,750 per year, and in the four years to $5.475,000. But if retailcd b the drink, allowing three drinks—at three ts_—to the half pint, which soalsers tell us is a high avcra e, we have expended for drink daily 330,00 , which amounts to $10,950,000 P" 70”; Ind $41_i,800.000 for the at four years! occupying with idleness over /iiiir thou- sand bar-keepers, and inducing the idleness and of from eight to ten thousand bar- room louugers, that probably would, otherwise, have been doin something for themselves or their ﬁmilies., ill Messrs. Dows & Co. tell us what the pee le have t for this, and whether this pro table tra c has murdered anybody, or smitten any intellect with the horrible’ blight of mania, or sharpened the assassins da gcr, and nerved the murderous hand!_ Our tate Prison Inspectors tell us that nine-tenths _of the convicts are sent there fpr crimes_co_iiimittei_i under the inﬂuence of liquor. or indirectly induced by it! The mur- der spots thick scattered over our land, reek- iug with unaveu blood, and the disconsolate, dark-looking hundred at Point San Quentin are the terrible answers to the value of the liquor traﬂc! Count it up in dollars, as if money could pay for the mischief! The advantages to farmers. and pork and beef-caters, is all moonshine The cash for grain from the distilleriec never helped as man hriners as the whiskey ruined, and the " s l-fed” pork and beef never supplied half the number that the whiskey traﬁc has starved! Is it not time to arrest this stream of death! Ought not the community to purge iieslﬁgc any cost, from the horrible effects 0 the trallic! We would go in for paying for the stock of liquors on hand, not wanted for mechanics and medicine, and plunging the balance into the sea.

Messrs. Dows ck Co. are fully sensible of the

evils of the traﬁic, and have generally helped to

both to the rinci le‘of in -makla ' good of tbepcomiiiuni if this .5 £ would_be regarded as dly an we in is complimentary, (like the comhndaﬁn ofthe Lor to the unjust stewartd) we would pursue this point futher. But it may give uneoessary: oﬂencc. Solet it pass.

If it can, we will not complain ofthe acts of the Legislature. We are quite willin to lose all our iiiveehnent, if every

erson in t e State will positively abandon iquor. It would be very hard, however for us manufacturers to be stopped, and allow the United States to admit liquors throu h the Custom House and then be sold, whic they would be, clandestinely, and probably no legal vigilance could prevent it. The matter is different with us. We could not manufacture clundcstinely. if we keep our works in opera- tion, everybody must know ii, and we would be daily subjected to persecution under the contemplated law. his is pleasant. It seems fair, and has really something of the high demand of equal rights on its side, and it concedes that a prohi- bitory liquor law which was edectual would be just the thing for the country. This is con- siderable for men who are manufacturing 18,- 000 lbs barle (i. e. 1000 llons,) into whiskey per da , on have $50, permanent capita in the usiness. No man, however, can doubt that such a law is wanted, and it do ads with the people to say, whether it shall c effectual or not But the reasonin above is more spe- cious than sound. Strip of all its shadows, it amounts to a moderate demand to share in the proﬁts of the havoc of morals, destruction of health and life. If murder is oin on, want an equal privilege of doing it or t e sake pt‘ the louder. Here 1 s the necessity of the aw. for money. Moral suasion will not c any Ion r with them, and while the tralﬁc is so con essedly bad according to the admission of those engaged in it, let the Legislature put a stop to it. Here is a strong intimation, and any one who knows the men, knows it means all it so s, that a 'ust and e al extirpating law wou d be heartl y respects by those most deeply alfectcd by it.

Let the Legislature act boldly then, on the right, and give us a little lega suasion with which to doctor the perceptions of other men who make gold their god, and do not stop at sending‘ mu titudes to an ignominious grave, saddle the public with paupers and curse the land with crime, if they can make moue by it! Shall the traﬂic fostered? or shal it stopped! Let the question come fairly to the people, and let the sovereigns decide it.

Mr. McAuslsnd’s letter on the subyot of bringing the water of Spring Park well into Charlottetown, will be perused with interest by those who wish to see the comfort and health of the pee 1c of the town well attended to. The ori ins paper was written by Mr. Ic- Auslan in the car 1849, and given to the Hon. Charles oung, by whom it was some time since handed to the writer. As in these days, nothing succeeds without agitation, we have determined to begin in time, and keep the public alive to the absolute necessity of having a copious su ply of d, pure, wholesc_ine water, not on for t e urposes of drinking and cookin , at for ot or domestic pur- poses, as we as having a ready agent in case of ﬁre. in order to make a commencement, we handed back to Mr. McAusland the original article, and begged lu'm to ﬁve an ebridgqmeat of it.
