was sold by the glass ct enormous profits.
All these interests must be destroyed by the
effect of the prohibitory law. Either the pre-
sent hotels must fail, pass into other hands and
be re. organized on a new system, or the price
Of board at them must be raised-in which case
the boarding houses will do a good business,
and the hotels remain empty. There is ruin
obvious either way. The grocers and liquor
importers are among the few interests which
survived the pressure of last year. When the
railroads were breaking and the dry goods
men crashing on every side, people envied the
grocers, and spoke of them as though they we're
destined to stand forever. The prohibitory
law will do their work as completely as Law
forbidding printing would destroy newspapers.
Evidently this law will not 60 into effect
without some trouble. In order to be prepared
before hand, wosld it not be well tor the hotel
keepers, importers and liquor dealers to meet,
and take some preliminary steps towards or
ganizing for the defence Of their rights? The
ruin Of interests Involving twenty or thirty
millions Of dollars, in order to try an expert
