The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-07-29

To do these things large sum Of
money is indispensable, and to secure
this there must Be a noble and dis
interested sef-denial manifested by
every true friend of temperance. 1t
will not do for any one individual or
county to rely upon another. Every
one must act as sthough the whole sue.
cess depended upon the discharge Of
his duty. We expect many will do
more than their part, and that no one
will wait for his neighbor. The object
in view is worthy Of the effort; de-
mands the sacrifice; who will shrink
from his full share of the work before
us Z? 9lrsE
The Committee have estimated the
sum required ia, be raised at not less
than TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. A much
larger sum is needed, and would be
judiciously expended if it could be
realized. We have also estimated
what we supposed would be the pro-
portion of the several counties, and
though we cannot make any demands,
we hope and trust our friends in the
several districts, will see the necessity
of a prompt and cheerful compliance,
not con6ning their contributions to the
sum named if it be possible to exceed
-
it, and where it is not possible to do SO
much-to do what they can, promptly
and cheerfully. We know that many
local. les have already expended large
sums freely for their OWN necessities,
but we trust they will consider that
there is indispensable necessity for eff
fort in other localities, where there
will not be farthing contributed to
the object. We expect that those who
have been most liberal in providing for
their own vicinities will be equally
generous in contributing to the general
| cause.
We will, in cases where the contri-
buttons are liberal from any county,
| appropriate proportionally the lectur-
ers and publications to that county, if
desired, thus giving contributors con-
trolling voice in the distribution Of a
large share Of their own contributions;
4 it being understood, that when the
amount named in the schedule is made
up, it shall cover, if desired, the whole
expenses to that county Of all the lee
lures we can allot to it, and of all the
publications we furnish for distribu.
ton within its territory. Of course.
we can not promise any definite mum
Der of lecturers to any one county
We will do oil we can to crafty all in
this respect.
One word more. The sums named
as necessary from the several counties
as well as the aggregate, may seen
large at first glance, but we beg thu
friends to reflect upon the magni
tude of the work, and its importance
that this is no political movement
that, with but few exceptions, we car
not call to our aid the papers Of eitheI
or any political party, but have t.
meet in many cases the united oppo
sitton Of more TIA. one party; the ag
gregate demand is not half a cent t,
each member of the community to b,
acted upon; and that, if very few
men in each county will make com
paratively small sacrifice, most pow
erful machinery for good will be forth
with set in motion. Let the friend
of the cause in each county set dow
forthwith, and apportion the amour
to be raised among themselves. w
pray you, do not rely upon triAinE
contributions. These may aid, bu
they will not do the work.
In conclusion, we would state, tina
we have appointed Mr.. A. A. STEWART
