The Temperance Movement.
Sir,—*A Briton’s” letter which appeared
in your journal of Friday last although well
tinctvred with the oii of fanaticism, it would be as well for all concerned ‘‘to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest.” jever, am afraid that the end to be desired | will hardly be obtained by such a tirade of sweeping censure upon the rum-seller. Charity brother, have charity. The truth is, the more quietly and peaceably we all
get along the better, no matter with whom, | ‘for one of the most easy, the most common, |
‘and. most foolish things in the world is to quarrel, upon what pretence, pro- \vocation or occasion whatever. The \reason people quarrel about religion is because they have so little of it, and the | harder the quarrel, the more abundantly do ithey prove it. And so it is, as regards the i liquor traffic, the more you try to restrain , men from drinking the harder they will try ‘to satisfy their desire. On this subject, \*A Briton” has his own opinion, so have others. He has a right to convince them if Opinion governs the world. Exercise your \rights, The truth is the more quietly and jcalmly yon get on the better—the beiter \for ourselves—the better for all. As to the ladies being desirous to go upon the war.
|path and to make a raid upon the public | ~
jnouses, let them be advised by one whe is fully sensible of their great power, and ! worth, letthem commence at home, within their own circle, upon husbands, : brothers, and immediate friends, get them, all into the temperance ranks, and I have. no doubt but their example and influence} will bring many others under the banner. | It must not be imagined that the evils of intemperance can be suppressed ina day or a year, We can only hope that it will be| killed out in the course of time, and then! only, should the boys and girls of to-day become total abstainers for all time to come, so that, when they shall have become men and women, then there will be no person to drink—then there will be no rum sold— and then, and not till then—there will be an end to the liquor traffic. Ido not wish it to be supposed that [ am at all desirous to sympathize with those whose business it is to traffic in stimulants, but [ cannot re- frain from saying that so long as liquor is tolorated in the colony the tavern keeper has just as good a right to sell it, as a Minister of religion or any other man has the right to denounce it, for law is law any way you may please to take it. The game has been going on for many, many years, ever since Noah came out of the Ark, and the end is not yet. Again I say exercise your right but don’t quarrel. Yours, respectfully, Speciat Brenp. Charlottetown, Aug. 3, 1883.

Srr,—In your issue a week ago, the rum- seller was a ‘‘criminal.’”’ The man who vio- lates the law of his country cannot be any-
‘thing else, convicted or unconvicted. The
violation convicts him, whether a court of justice overtakes him or not. Broken iaws imply law breakers, and law-breakers are criminals, if the law broken is a righteous one.
The Soott Act is a righteous one, and its orovisions are plain and easily understood. But like all other laws, people hold differ- ent opinions about it. Lawyers argue, plead, give each their own construction of it, and in many instances mystify it, or tell downright lies about it, in true legal fashion. tis their trade to play fact and and loose, and prove “black, white,” if they can. The greater the criminal the more earnestly some of thew will try to prove that he is a much injured ané innocent man. That accomplished, the criminal is satisfied, the lawyer gets his pay and probably wins a reputation as a first- class ‘‘special pleader or criminal lawyer. ’ There are lawyers who will enter court to defend a rum-seller, by trying to prove he didn’t sell rum, after the rumseller has in- formed him privately ‘‘of course I did, but I want to get out of the serape,” anc the legal gentieman takes his fees, does his level best to prove the truth to be lies— whether or not, in such cases, he is generally on the right side of the money question, An honorable lawyer would not be a party to such a course and I am glad to acknowledge that there are honorable lawyers.
As this entire Island is subject— legally and constitutionally, by electoral vote—to the provisions of the Scott Act, there shoul! be very little difficulty indeed in enforcing in. Look at its general provisions. Th Act provides certain properly appointed
I how-|
SiINGLe Copirs Two CENTS,

ing liquors as a beverage in the usual way, is a breach. of the law, and, as such, decidedly criminal. Whoever ‘so breaks the law, either ‘‘ by himself, his clerk, servant or agent,” is liable, for the first offence, to a fine of “‘not lees than fifty dollars;” and, for the second offeice, “not less than one hundred dollars;” and for the third and every subsequent offence, the punishment is imprisonment ‘for aterm not exceeding two months.” I draw special attention to the words ‘‘ not Jess’ and *‘not exceeding,” and let us look at their natural and obvious meaning. For the _ first offence, the person proved guilty could be fined ninety-nine dol’ars and ninety-nine cents; ‘and for the second cfence, he could be fined the one hundred dollars, or any jamount which the presiding justices or \judge- might choose to name above that }amount; while, for the third offenee, he jmight receive only twenty-four hours’ in- | prisonment, or any other number of days ‘under the two monihs, which could be ‘imposed. The first punishment is not the ‘fixed necessity of fifty-dollars; the second ‘not necessarily fixed at one hundred dollars; and the third, not fixed at two months im- prisonment. This is the manner in which
“be can; they have the right to differ. ‘similar clauses, are often interpreted and
acted upon by Judges in other countries where Temperance Acts are in force. The wilter was present in a Court of Justice, and ona liqvor trial too, and although it was a second offence, for which the fine was wot less than one hundred doilars,” the Jadge sentenced to a fine of three thensand doliars, and the destruction of ali the liquor found upon the premises. The hquor was
cstroyed and the fine peid—the rumseller was rich—and the person punished gave up the business; the Judge having sternly told him that the next time he appeared before him, he would absolutely imprison him to the full extent which the lawallowed. Iam perfectly well aware that this interpretation of the first clause of the third part of the Scott Act will meet its opponents, but were your humble servant a Stipendiary, or sitting witha brother Magistrate, he would find no difficulty in enforcing it, and refuse “any appeal whatever from such conviction,’ were all the lawyers on the Island arrayed against him.
Over and above the fines or punishment so imposed, the Act plainly and strictly provides for the forfeiture, seizure and destruction of the liquor, and all vessels of any kind which contained the liquor so seized. A search warrant can be issued on this Island by the Stipendiary, Justices of the Peace, Sheriff or Mayor, or other proper authorities, and all liquor found upon the premises so searched, and credibly sworn against as a place where liquor is sold, can up to the amount of twenty gallons, be ‘‘ poured out, spilled, wasted and utterly destroyed.”
It is generally understood that private individuals should not be under the neces- sity of bringing prosecutions; but the Act provides that they can. It is also distinctly stated “‘it shall be the duty of the Collector of Inland Revenue to bring such prosecu- tion,” with a saving clause as to “responsi- bility,’ etc,
In the face of all this and more, intoxi- cating liquors are being constantly sold in various localities on the Island. It is im- possible to walk through Charlottetowa and not see it sold openly and fearlessly. [t is sometimes sold in presence of those whose duty it is to see that the laws of cour country are not violated. Magistrates, lawyers, bankers, merchants, working men, members of Parliament, and policemen, all furnish some of their ranks, to the shrine of Bacchus. Perhaps there are some clergymen among them, too. They will all place their dollars or their cents on the bar, and deliberately ask their fellow- mortal to break the law, and gratify their appetites. They are accessories to the crime. If there is one glaring defect (more than any other) in the Scott Act, it is that the man who buys and drinks the liquor is notequally punished with the man who sells it. If the rumseiler breaks the law, and is punished, the man who asks him to break it should be punished also, When we have a clause in the Act of equally heavy fines and punishmeat against the latter, the former will very soon find hia occupation gone.
With your leave, my next will be on the drunkard and drunkenness,
Your obdt. servant, A Briton.

A good story is revived of the way in which Mr. N. T. Davenport, the actor now dead, secured American citizenship for hs child. tie avd his wife were members of a company which was-playing in St. John abcut twenty
persuns, who shall sell tne necessary liquors for sacramental, medicinal, and mechauical urposes. Brewers and manufacturers of
ten gallons of cider ‘‘at any one time” or
liquor so sold, is “forthwith to be carried beyond the limits of the country or city, and of any adjoining country or city im which the act is in force.”” As the Act is in legal standing over the whole Isiaud, throughout its three counties, and in its capital city, it necessarily follows that for home consumption, the oply authorised parties to dispense liquors, are the regular- ly ‘‘licensed vendors.” The ‘‘merchant or trader” who sells liquor by wholesale, can- not legally sell ‘‘iess than ten gallons at any one time,” and only to druggists or licensed vendors, or to parties who will re-
moved.
It follows then, that the wholesale dealer, who conforms to the provisions of the Act, and the “‘liconsed vendors” are the only persons who can, without criminality, sell spirituous liquors on this Island. The
