which the government is paying would
tend directly TO bring this about. Hence
il is important, as well for tlie diminu-
ton Of the public debt as for the benefit
of our people in their private transac-
ti0ns, that the national credit should be
placed on the highest possible basis.
Can there be any doubt, therefore, as to
what should be the position of all good
citizens upon "A question of so great i'm

GEMS FROM CAEY'S CRUSADER.
Crusader, a temperance magazine, for
March, 1S5S-tiener;l s. L Cary, edit
or; Caleb Clark, pablisher." On the
fourth page of the cover it is announced
rs the ''Organ of the National Division
Sons of Temperance, published at Gin
cinnati, Ohio" We give some choice ed
itori.I extracts from this number, taken
from the columns over which the name
of the editor, to leave 10 doubt as to
their authorship, is given, prominently
printed, "Generill =. f. Cary, editor"
On page 307 General Cary gives his
special attention, as follows, TO
LAGER BEER AND THE GERMANS:
''During the past month the editor of
the Crusader, at the earnest solicitation
of a large number of the friends OF tenn
perance in St Louis, visited that city,
and delivered four addresses. Probably
no city in the United States is more
thoroughly and completely under the
dominion of the liquor traffic than this.
Grog shops seem to DE the principal
places of business.
LAGER BEER is The principal sign:
from which we infer that the GeTHIan
element of the population is very large.
AS eUH communications corrupt good
manners, tie american born are Jecom-
ing JJutaIized by the .fIthgtoreigH SloiH.
A perfect ocean of beer is consumed, and
the amount drank on the Sabbath is
almost incredible. There are about
thirty breweries in ST. Louis, IA single one
of which produced last year Ia, 200 bar
relS-the aggregate quantity amounts to
125, 600 barrels per annum. The aver
age price nf beer, ''lager" and ''eom-

900 per annum, and the retailers 81
900, ,O00, for an anheaithy, demioraiizing,
deStJHctjoe, and BRUTALIZING BEvER-
AGF"
A little farther on, in the same article,
General Cary says:
'"The young cannot fail to be warned
by the untimely end of the thousands
who fall around them. Teps of thou

In another editorial article, comnenc-
ing on page 305, General Cary says:

with premature mortality.

Cary, be it observed, was not in favor
of any gentle method-like praying and
singing. lie was opposed to that.
0n tue same page, isanother editorial
article, General Cary reads this lecture
to those he calls
''HALF TEMPERANCE MEN."
What a silly argument is that, then,
that wine and beer drinking will promote
the temperance reform. "Wine Is q
mocker, "ltrong drink Is raging, and
whoeveris deceived by eitheris not wise.
The tables of wine-drinkers are ''full of
vomit aud flthiness, SO that there is no
Mage 2lsan." If the thousands of beer
saloons, and the immense throngs that
visit them, are promoting the temper
ance reform, heaven pity us! 4 wine

hra4en- faced impudencel As well may
the smooth tongned seducer boast Of
his veneration for feIlaie virtue, or a
thief talk OF his respect for the rights of
property. The Lord deliver us from
these half temperance men. The beer
s,0aler, the sofHe-bitber, the 1rhisky-
drSaker, are all In the same broad Lody TO
death and hell. "Oh, my soul, come
not thou into their secret; unto their es-
sembly be not mine honor united"

able pen of the Democratic candidate
