REMARKS HON. HORACE GREELEY.
The Hon. BoRAcE GREELEY next introduced He was
minute He said substantially II the Excise law had
nifty an idea Of what the party done this city it
would be worth all has cost ha. been shown to US how
this traffic nourshes every form Of crime and yice-how
everything corrupt and deeeous sngendeed by the sale
Of liquor As mere instructor then Is worth all it will
make firm, earnest and enthusasto struggle 10
sustain the law. For ten past We have had Just
such Legislation On A; subject and Jus, such EN-
had chosen to give u.s. (Appau.e OF ten thousand rum
seller. Of this city 100 Of item believe Drstsndo have paid
ter and applause We have had Board that did the work

there DO decent rumseling but am not one q them
theory yours hold and enforce this law in tho spirit
in which present Excise Commissioners are trying TO do
enough you got II in this city today Every who
wants 70 drnk gotguor enough and fhs cannot possibly

Laughter and applause About closing on sunday; hear
sand men employed barendes and that class OF who
have had liberty They had to get up in the morn
those ten thousand have little hsertyi Applause
Why should they have few hours leisure Sunday
This law gives 1t to them they had II before.
Laughter Now about the liberty OF selling am Of
that class who do not drink and do not SELL You never allow
Us the liberty Of paying taxes ~ support tho drunkards
and criminals that the sellers make Appause Where is
our liberty FiyeIths Of those who MI the aims house
sent there by the rum rsckers and must be taxed to
support Why should they ask who do not drink
se any to be taIedi want some liberty They will have
large meeting They will all go with the Germans protest
against tho fanaosm Of the Excise law, but let
see what weight their arguments will have. $4,000 900
annually expended for Ia this city 100000 Of which
are paid out by and who cannot afford to spend
dollar unnecessarily Now suppose BY the Excise law that
amount can reduced from sl0000000 10 $4,000 who
will sax thai ihere would DO less comfort happiness II
