IRIS 0BJEcT-To advocate the Cause of Temper
generally and especially the Legislative Prohibi
ton of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages to pre-
pare tho minds of the for such Prohibition by
showing its expedency and Necessity, and to secure,
by all tho influence it may legtimatoly exert, the
vigorous enforcement Of Prohibitory Laws when OBJ
tanned
IT'S FIELD.-Dealing with general principles, with
arguments alike applicable to every community where
the traffic exists and with facts illustrative OF these
arguments and principles the paper will be National
in its spirit in its scope in its purpose and we trust,
it will be National in its circulation and influence
Such is our aim and expectation We desire to see

work, and to this end THE PRoHIBTIoNIsT is estab-
lished not the organ of society merely, but OF
GREAT REFoRMAToRY MOVEMENT.
IRIS NEcEssIrY-The existing Temperance Jour
mails have little il any circulation outside OF the TEN
pcrance Ranks. Their price almost necessarily ro-
strcts Thorn to the friends of the cause. The Pro-
uIBITIoNIST is designed for circulation (nstead of
tracts) among tho indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put mt prico so low as to enable
the friends Of Temperance in every school district by
combined action and at an inconsiderable expense,
