&C. to let and which produced much heavier rent than
fha Fnng
ont the law.
Mr. d. then entered into full discussion of the merits of
the bill and principally in TO the arguments of Mr.
Brooks againstt First he emphacay denied that this law
could not be enforced and nsanced facts where in several
villages in his section OF the State there had been liquor
sold for years because the officers OF those villages refused
grant licenses the beneficial effects of which
that in them reared boy who turned out a
drunkard was there ever seen an intoxicated man
in their precincts In view of these facts he commended
that the provisions of this law could easily be enforced
in the larger cities of State, is the no license law
Senator from the With Mr. BRooRs spoke of the inur
result, which this law would bring about upon the
revenues of the General Government lie put il to that
Senator whether be would not willingly see the millions of
dollars of revenue which he said the law would affect
nuay entirely sacrificed rather than witness drunkard
in his brother his son, any Of his near relatives He
MIR ID l certainly would.
Mr. D. said that the Senator widely apart from the
facts when he assumed that there anything in the
proposed law which would conflict with the Constitutions
ofthe United States of this State He challenged the
Senator to point him out clause that was uncon
stitutiona The Senator had said that there was some
50 600 600 invested in this city in the brewing and dis
tilng business and that this business would be wholly
swept away by the enactment OF this law ana no remnhe
ration made to those who would be thus thrown our OF
business and their valuable property destroyed Wen,
what f this was though he denied the statement bu
fit was So he Mr. d. would readily advocate drect
tax to remunerae these distiers and brewers ana ne
could assure the Senator that the people, could TINS STAKE Oh
things be brought about would gladly accept It, and w0ui
Get off very cheap with the best of the bargain every way
for said Mr.. ID do they pay more TO support
thosp a hospitals, C.,
there by this unhOy traffic in liquor
Mr. d. said that New FORK City OF oil Localities n the
State needs this law and he asonshed to ind the
representatives that City opposing IT, But howeyerth they
they had determined to vote with regard to it, he sincerely
hoped that they would oppose it with different ana more
substantial arguments than that il cannot be enforced or
that il is unconstitutional Such arguments are ground
less and cannot be sustained for moment But New ork
wants this law. Where else there so many promising
ed till thew reach the level of the brute The youth does
moi take the first the second glass OF his own accord
but at the suggestion OF companion VINO mas before gTe
through the same process that he now proposes Tor ms
friend Finally the temptation has taken hold and then
it needs no urging for him TO visit the rum shop NO ne
can be found there every night now and gradually slh
sinks 10 the lowest depths of degradation And who are
such youths Certainly not the dull leaden headed nor
misery but the most generous gifted ana promising young
