arguments and principles the paper will be Naftom0l
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

strcts them to the friends of the cause. The PRo-
HIBiTloNlsT is designed for circulation (instcad of
tracts among the Indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put at price so low as to enable
the friends of temperance in every school district by
