The cry comet mainly from a data of ■an who have never stirred hand or foot to flaa the enthralled victim from the chaint lliat bomid him; whote whole lives, enef|^, CM iofenuity have been devoted to making Mqoor.aeUing Liquor^ and inducing people ti drifltB Uqoor.

ThU Giy ia Hi hollow aa it it dithonett From no pulpit, platform, or paper have these men attempted to use that moral '^^ toasion which they now to lustily praise. *9 Their whole time has been given to the cruel and relentless pushing of a traffic whose dark and dreary history is full of huitiaa -*^ degredatipn, human misery, and humafi woe. ' And now when the burden haa grown to heavy that it can no longer be borne, and the people are demanding that the dram- thopt—the very tource and fountain qf drunkenneas — be closed up, these men come to the front and solemnly declare^ «J ** moral suasion is sufficient* ' -'m Sufficient for what ?

If moral suasion (• sufficient, why doae •very Christian country bring in the strong •rm of the law to punish drunkenness and letter the drunkard maker f And yet no government would dare for a single week to let the traffic go unchecked to be met bv n^orai suasion alone. Oovernment will •iio4 but one person in five hundred to ■ell ; closes up the bar on Sundays, Satur- day nights, election days ; forbids sale to minors. Indiana, drunkards ; imposes fines and penalties for every infraction. Why ? Moral suasion has not been found sufficient, and the law has to be .added. '. Christian governmenta forbid the tale •nd manufacture of liquor in Maine. Vrr- Oiont, New Hampshire, Kansas, the North- West Territoriet, etc Why ? Moral tuaiion hai not been found sufficient, and the law must step in. , Christian governments forbid the lale of liquors in Uessbrook, 61 tq. miles of territory in Tyrone, Ireland ; in 1500 par- ifhet in England, inhabited by 350.000 •ouli ; in one-half of Maryland, in three- iburtha of Massachusetts, in Potter Co., Pean.,in Vineland, N.J., in over 600 towns in Illinois, in nearly half of Georgia, Ten- nessee, Alabama, Texas, South Carolina, •nd Arkanaas, in large districts of nearly all the other States ; in 27 counties and cities df Canada. Why ? Moral auaaion has not been found sufficient, and law gives its added protection. In Great Britain, after a century of moral suasion, the House of Commons in 1880, by a vote of 245 tO 316, declared that moral •uaalon was not sufficient, and that the jIMOple of J«£h district should be allowed the wmm \q close the dramshops. To- day, If there is one steadily marching and promisingly victorious thought in the Ancto-Saxon tiKlnd. it la Ihia, "Let the law be joined to moral sul^^ in the rightcpui and reicniltts crusade acainat toMmpsr* aoct." ^ a. Sfaral SttmHon it'noi Rthtd on SoMy im otktr thingt. Moral suadon teaches honesty ; the law shuts^ up the gambler's shop, the counteir- feiter's den, the lottery swmdie, punishes the embcttlsr. ths sharper, and the rogue. Moral suasion teaches virtue ; the law rcKHs out the bawdy-house; punishes in- decency, public vlc«, and immorsHty. Moral suasion teaches reverence for ths wortiiip of God and Hip holy day : the law places its sentriss to |usrd tach church door from intrusion or disturbance, and pro- tects the sanctity of the Sabbath day with severe penalties. Moral suasion works for education ; the law backs up the school and college, com- pels aUendance, and puts disabilities on ignorance. , Mural suasion commends dsanliness, precautions for safety, etc. ; the law enr torces health provisions, fire limits, build- ing security, and purity of food. Everywhere mora! suasion ia^ )>acked up by law. The two are joined, and together they do their best work. But in this matter of intemperance the law sets up thousands of men, whose business it is to create and pcipetuate intemperance ; whose living and gains depend on their success in doioE ythis. • Moral suasion teaches the children to be sober ; legal drink-shops teach them to be- come tipplers. Moral suasion saves the drunkard from his (uin ; legal drink-shops 'drag him back^ again. Moral suasion builds up a happy home and brings back the light and love to it ; legal drink-shops tear It down again, and chase away all light of hope and warmth of love. All we ask is British falr-play. Let the law shut up the drink-shop, and monl suasion will do the rest I -J- StMSI Jo« rumM 'tha does suasu moral //. 1 pcopl( made, are cc new a fee th him-^ give t better are ra ard. « trade- eamir less c when they I all.

Over and above all other things, the drinktn/^ platt is the cause of drinking. Men meet on the street, and one saye to ' the other, ** Come and have a drink." Come where ? To the drinking place. Young men go out after night—they meet each other, and they go to drink. Where ? To the drinking place. Children grow up in our villages andcitles— become accustomed to the associations, and learn to tipple. Where? At the drinking placet. Men who aet t^eir facta towards sobriety and fortify themselves with all of love4' persuasion and religious warning— pass along our streets and are drawn in despite themselves. Whither ? Into the drinking places. ^j Idleness congregatea, vicious pMple gather— vile women l^ake assignation*— criminals herd and hide— vice becomea bold, and ruin stalks in horrid majesty. Where ? In our drinking places. Paupers come to our poorhouses— die- orderly persons to our jails— thieves, vag- rants, criminals of every dye are brought to our prisons. ^ Whence come they ? From our drinking places. Remove these, and treating, tip* pling, hooxing, drunkenness, poverty, vag- rancy, disorderly conduct, thieving, crime and murder would be deprived of this place of conception and birth, cradling and rear- I i.^a - "EA-ta^-i Isf . tr«4ittg*ta4 rvwn, plotting and hidlnt , ' drlak, tnd too* tli«y pMt to All IM ^aaM •ml would •ink into almmt tat*l latigniA- { ol drunkard* f o«M : hf i nrMl iil our, frown thfcn out, pray tti«m out, tpoAk «••• b«fart th# awful br#aih olthU wUh«r* thmm out, or lead thatn out.
