Che Dailn Examiner OCTOBER 11, 1884.

Some Points to be Borne in Mind.

that the

people as toa prohibitory law, is now

Bearnkin Mind ease of the being tested throughout Canada; that every constituency so far has declared in favor of prohibition and the Scott Act; and that it we, at this juncture declare against the Soott Act, the tact will be

accepted throughout Cavada as a proot

that we are against prohibition, avd in|

favor of the liquor traffic

BeaR IN MIND that we have vo liquor law that can be enforced if we repeal the Scott Act.

BEAR IN MIND that it is better to have a law which, though violated with im punity in many cases, can be summarily enforced if we choose, rather than be without any law at all.

Bear iN MIND that a triumph fcr the “ Repealers” will be a triumph for the liquor traffic and a disaster to the cause of temperance.

DEAR IN MIND that the license system promotes drunkenness.

Bear 1x Mrixp our own past ex ee wee

fruits of

perience and what the

Frame says about the high licenses and respectable licenses in Ber- muda.

Bear in Mrinp that by licensing the liquor traffic, the community will relieve the licensed liquor dealers of respousi bility for their evils—the misery, poverty, siu and death—brought about by the traffic.

BEAR IN MIND that by licensing the liquor traffic we provide for its con- tinuance.

Bear IN MIND ourselves,

that if we.

are not in danger of becoming victims to the liquor traffic, there are weaker brethren and innocent little ones, whom we love, who may.

EAR IN MIND that the present andthe fuiure, the moral and the material, inter- ests of our country, demand the suppres- siou of the liquor traffic.

Bear these points in mind; and vote

and exert yourself to obtain votes ‘‘ against the petition.”

Agrarian Law, as Formerly

and Now.

PERHAPS a few paragraphs on agrarianism, that is, what it was among the Romans some five huodred years before the Christian Era, and what it means now, may be of interest to many of our readers. We often see in the papers an account of some violence uuder the heading of ‘‘agrarian outrage,” but what that precisely means is not always recognizable by the reader.

The agraria lex, or Roman agrarian law, decreed an equal division of all lands acquired by conquest, among the Roman people, limiting the acreage, however, to small bomesteads, as clear- ings or fields for agricultural purposes. The P. E. Island word “ clearing” exactly corresponds with the Latin ager (a chopping), and with the Anglo-Saxon word jield, which (formerly spelt /eld) isa felling of timber for the substitu- tion of atood crop. It was first pro- posed by the Consul Spurius Cassius, auno 486 B, C.; but occasioned his judicial murder when he went out of office the following year. An agrarian law was passed by the Tribune Dicivius Stolo, 376, and, for proposing further ameadmeuts, Tiberius Gracchus in 133, apd his brother Cornelius, in 121, were murdered. Livius Drusus, a tribune, was killed for the same cause, 91. Julius Casar propitiated the plebeians by passing an agrarian law, in B.C. 59.

In modern times, the term bas been misiotei preted to siguity a division of the lands of the rich among the poor, frequently proposed by demagogues, snch as Gracchus Babeuf, editor of the Tribun du Peuple in 1794. In 1796, conspiring against the directory with the view of obtaining a division of property, he was condemned, and committed suicide May 27, 1797.

LETTERS PO THe LPITOR.,

The Rum Seller.

Sir,—li calling names and abuse is indulged in at temperance meciings, as **Teetotum” says, it cannot be justitied. After a residence of more than fitty years in this city, 1 can bear testimony to the moral character of numbers of men who have been engaged in the liquer trade. But this does not alter my opinion of the trade itself, and it is this, after long and close observation: that nothing softer and nothing lighter than the curse of God rests

upon it. ‘*Teetotum” would lead us to suppose that temperance men are never abused.

Innocent enough! | can enlighten him. When the Independent Temperance Society was formed they were at once styled the Bog Town Temperance Soviety;and, before that, the Young Men’s Temperance Society were styled ‘‘Young Pups.”

‘*Teetotum”’ charges the majority of the people, a majority of the doctors, and a majority of the business men, and the judges, with drinking; and ‘‘what the par- sons do no fellow can tell.” Here I jow issue with him, point blank. If a ‘‘parson” drinks‘ it is found out at once. I saw a parson 2 few years ago coming out of a liquor store with his jar full ; very shortly after he had to resign to save himself from expulsion, and, worse than that, I saw another stagger and fall at the pulpit door. ‘*‘Teetotum,” from the names Bass, Guinness, Hanbery, and others, would | argue the respectability of the trade, Will it be credited that once after a dinner, ihe following toast was proposed by a brewer and accepted by his brethren in the trade : ‘* Success to the w—-—s of London, the brewer's best friends.” Iam, Sir,

Yours, ete., GeoraE Brace. Fighting the Drink Demon.

The Hon Alex. H. Rice, Ex-Governor of Massachusetis, pre-eminently one of the best men in the commonwealth, among other things, said: ‘‘Whatever may be said vf prohibition, there was no need to discuss it. Let these who believe in it enjoy their opinion ; but he thovght whoever that was, asserted no beneficial results had followed.

(Applause.) - ‘ If the licenses were kept down to a reasonable number, there certainly would not be the same ameunt of drunkenness. It was not necessary to wait for additional legislation, for in Massachu

setts there was to-day a strictly prohibitory law, unless each city and town vote for the

Fripay, Oct. 10.

Alexander Crozier vs. James F. White—- This was a case arising out of the Canada Temperance Act, 1878, and was before the Court to-day. The facts may be interest- ing to the citizens of Charlottetown, espe- cially to those who intend taking part in the ciection next Thursday.

The 80th section of the Scott Act pro- vides, *‘that no intoxicating, spirituous, or fermented liquors, or strong driuk, shall be sold or given at any hotel, tavern, or shop, or other place within the limits of any polling district during the whole of any day on which any poll is begun, holden or proceeded with, under a penalty of one hundred dollars for every offenee ; and the offender shall be subject to imprisonment

mouths of 1881, were for January, 439 : February, 170; March, 146; April, 296; | Mey, 237. So whether we look at| at acrariavism as it was before the Christian Era, or as _it is misinterpreted iu the present generation, we are forced | to the conclusion that it is an unholy ste)) in the wrong direction, first and last, and wholly unadapted to the elevation of the masses or the advance- meut of a healthy civilization.

—The Moncton 7imes says there must be some mistake about the report of over-production in cotton mills appearing so fiequently among Montreal de-

patches. It is highly improbable, at all events, as intimated tn a recent despatch, thet avy set of mills has on hand suffiie- ept meuufactured goods to supply the Wore Country for six months. Prices of cotton geods are low aud operations heve been carried on at little or no pro- ht, bat the production of Maritime mills 49 vell sold up. The entire stock of St.

not cxceediig six months at the discretion of the Judge or Court, in default of pay- went of such fine.”

The plaintiff sued the defendant under this section for one hundred doilars penalty, alleging that on the 7th of February last,§while the Scott Act election was going on in Prince County, the defend- ant, White, had given liquor toa _ voter. The evidence showed that on that day a man nawed Oliver, after having yoted, went to the defendant’s house in Alberton and wanted to purchase a glass of whiskey. defendant refused to sell, bus as Oliver was an old friend he gave him the whiskey. The facts as stated were admitted, and the defendant's counsel asked for a non- suit on the ground that the section of the Act did not apply to a case of this kind, but. ovly to cases where liquor was sold or given at a hotel or tavern’ or similar piaces. Mr. Davies also asked for @ wbensuit on other grounds touching the validity of the election. The Chief Justice, however, refused the nonauit on any of the grounds, and the trial proe-eded on the merits, and after brilliant ‘addresses from the

Jvbu’s sevtdud mill bas been clearetl out

The Lord Bishop of Rochester, England, who, the chairman said, was spending his vacation in this country, in the interests of this society, said ; ‘‘this was his fourth visit to Boston. * He had spoken ou the subject from Minnesota to Virginia, and from Utah to Massachusetts, but the present was the most magnificent meetin he had ever addressed in America. * * ‘*But, if in England they could close the public houses on Sunday, and compel the publicias to refuse the sale of drink to such as had takeg too much, they would be well pleased.” ye If the English people had such laws as exist here, they would not want any more with respect to the liquor traftic for the next fifty years,”
