.o,,or eao,o-v are most degraded England alone
consumes over 5oO,o00,o0o gallons Oh stron6 peer
yearly. From strong drink OF all kinds she derives
fearful revenue, to debase her population and pay
her soldiers 10 awe her citizens to submission
Still such has been her position in relation TO the
abundance of her raw material and the low rate OF
wages that she has been able to sustain that pre-
emnence which entitled her TO be styled the Work
Shop OF the World.
Owing 10 these advantages, lin despite OF her be-
so,ted laborers, she has been able to MAINTAIN her
prominence, and thus compel other nations 10 con-
tribute her greatness. Her laborers, even at the
low wages they have received, might have become
comparatively easy in their circumstances had tney
not beggared themselves by the use OF intoxicating
drinks 1t is strong drink rather than lo1e praces
which has degraded and kept under the aoorers OF
England. Let America take warning rom Tue Ia'e
of besotted England We are now commencing
the race Of competition with her Tor the markets OF
the world If commenced here on Total abstinence
principles there can be no doubt who will come OIL
victorious The Tariff, il now exists, affords
some Protection. Whether the Tariff is 3~st or IN
lust in its details is not for US 10 say but we may
say that With Total Abstinence from all that can In
toXicate carried out in practice, we have nothing 10
fear from any changes that may be made hereafter
in the Tarifi-especially should other nations, our
rivals disregard the mighty Protection which Total
Abstinence affords. To you, then who are launch
ing forth into manufacturing TO supply the armers
of our and other lands with your fabrics In ex
change for w nat you require of their productions
we may say not only purify your own shops from
the poisonous influence Of alcohol, but labor TO pu
rify The shops Of others also from similar influence
Aside from moral considerations your own interests
and the interests of your operatives and their iam
lies as well as of your country, are deeply concerned
in YOUR taking such course. Those Manufacturers
who reside in the State of New. York have now an
opportunity 10 strike blow for the Manufacturing
interests which will be sure and abiding protec
ton let the course Of the Government be what II
will From this moment let US labor TO enghten the
public mind-inore especially that OF those in your
employ-on that most momentous question about TO
be submitted 10 the decision of the people OF the
Empire State On the day appointed by law, we
trust that each master mechanic oil every description
will head his men and march with them 10 the ballot
box and put in vote for Protection, which III sue
cessfur will he far effective than any or all
the aid the General Government can afford, TO wit:
n vote for NO License.
GIN DRrxKIse.-A London paper says that, to
supply one gan palace in that city, nine horses,
drawing three large wagons loaded with the oaletui
poison are seen at regular periods progressing in
sort of procession and that it is boosted by keeper
of one of these palaces which brings ruin upon the
Poor, that on Saturday night guinea minute has
been taken across the bar No wonder that the
course of Political Reform is slow, when the money
that should go TO improve their own minds, and edu-
cate their children and surround them with comforts
and prepare them for the enjoyment Irrational liber
ty is thus abused to bind faster the letters OF mental
and moral degradation People Of the United States,
take rarntng
How LONG WILL IT TAKE ITO do what? asks
the reader? Why, to complete the work OF Tenn
perance Reform? We cannot tell, we sure for
we are not prophets or sons of prophets but one
thing is certain it will take several generations un-
less some friends Of Temperament high probes |
sons too-work faster than they have ever worked
vet But why need it take more than year =
There is no necessity for it for il is matter which
depends simply upon the will of individuals. Any
Town can complete the work in three days and !
any County in ten. But how !! asks one. Why /
just let every respectable man and woman, every !
man of influence, every well wisher OF his country |
adopt the principle Of Total Abstinence and an.
nounce to his neighbors the fact-and there would |
soon be an end to dealing and drunkenness. While
a single man drinks, there will be dealing; while
there ia dealing, there will be drunkenness. Every
man should feel that with himself rests the COM
pletion of the Temperance Reform. y.

ITO examine every thing that is new and some things
that are old without fear or favor to promote good
nature good neighborhood, and good government to

and rsscaly violence, cunning and d!eness last put
not least, to get an honest living.

Grow up trees together;
They spread their leaves and gather good

And almost human passions,
And, snugy sheltered from the storm,
