The Portland daily press., 1863-10-24
Written for the Press
To Temperance Men of ali Orders.

BRETHREN:- The complaints of the in
crease OF intemperance that daily meet our
eyes through the public newspapers and sa-
lutte our ears every time we attend meeting
where the subject is discussed, admonishes US
that our task is not completed and our efforts
should not be abated. Ii is said, and believe
very truthiully, too, that intemperance pre-
walls more extensively than it did twenty years
ago, and drinking saloons are rapidly increas-
Ing IN our city. The increase of drinking sa-
looms Is the natural consequence of the de-
mand that is created for them by the increase
of patrons. The cupdty of the whole Yam
kee nation is such that whenever a demand is
manifested for anything, whatever may be its
nature, it is at once produced. This increase
in the use of intoxicating drinks is not con-
fined TO men only, but pervades the softer sex.
The evidence is too fully demonstrated to be
palated or denied, that Goods last best gin
To man" is in many cases prostituted to the
most base and degraded condition of brutai-
ty by drunkenness. One of the overseers of
the poor recently told me that it is becoming
very common for men to make complaint to
the oyerseers of the drunkenness of their
wives and request that they be sent TO the
House oi Correction. This condition of things
Is not coniined to our own city or our own
state. An article on this subject recently
published in Springfield paper saws. "Only
year or two ago IT was a very rare thing to see
drunken man in our streets. Now Won may
meet staggering men at any time of the day.
and the shocking sight of a drunken woman
Is not uncommon" Similar facts come Ia ms
In the papers from nearly every city and large
town in New England.
This state OF things is truly alarming and
should admonish us to look after the cause.
we nave now been nearly forty years in ear
nest enort TO promote the cause of temperance
py suppressing the traffic in spritnons liquors
I'VE nave had stringent and coersive liquor
iaws-we nave exercised to our utmost ability
the power of moral suasion-have spent our
time and money In the work. and in spite of
all We can do the demoralizinc habit of intoy-
ication is rapidly gaining upon US in ali classes
of community. Its useless to attempt IN do.
ceive ourselves by fostering an idea that the
condition of things is not so bad as they an
pear on the outside, for unmstakable iIlustra-
tions stare us full in the face every time yn
go into any Of our public streets in the
city.
If physician has a very sick patient and
finds him rapidly declining under the course
OF treatment he is pursuing, would it not be
the rankest insanity for him to insist on fol
lowing the same course, which must, in the
very nature of things end in death? Would
IL not show more wisdom and prudence in
MIN TO admit that his remedies had never
reached the cause, and change his mode of
operations
The Portland daily press., 1863-10-24

We have been engaged in a forty years war
against the traffic in ardent spirits and have
accomplished nothing. II we have ever
gained temporary advantage it has been lost
again, for at the present time dram shops are
more numerous, ,boldand fearless than formerly,
and temperance men are disheartened, eEner-
vated, and manifest great degree of apathy
IN again rallying for another attack. The eX
perience we have had ought TO convince us
mat we can never efiectualy prevent the
drinking of intoxicating liquors by trying to
prevent its sale Now what are we to do?
Shall we abandon the cause-give up the
ship-puil down the flag and surrender to the
enemy-sit down listlessly aid look quietly
on and see the young men of our nation and
young women too, plunged headlong into the
bosom of destruction and ruin? No! never.
So long as single spark OF vitality remains
in our system-so long as one drop of the milk
of human Kindness flows in our veins and
gives power in the least degree to the love of
the neighbor and desire for the welfare of
mankind We will struggle on, trusting the re-
suits to Him who is infinite in wisdom, power
and goodness. The cause is the cause of hui
manty and christianity, and because we have
made mistake that is very common to human
nature, of attempting to destroy an evil by
removing the effect while the cause still exists,
in full life and vigor, is no reason why we
should be discouraged and abandon the cause
We have only to change the base of our ope-
rations. Instead of directing our efforts at
rum shops, let them be brought to bear upon
the cause which produces these dens of in
'quty, the demand for them. If we can sue
ceed in destroying the appetite for intoxca-
ton In their patrons, drinking saloons will die
natural death. This would be striking at
the root of the evil, and would deal more ef-
fectual blows at the traffic in "liqud fire" than
all the police force can do, that can be brought
into existence.
You will very naturally inquire how this
can be done, will endeavor to answer this
question in another article.
