end. The anti-temperance party, as class,
do not pay their bills Except whiskey bills
and are not considered as desirable customers
as the others. na a5.7z
3D.. That fractional part of the arti-temper-
anee o. icanss party, who pay their bills,
are strictly esnnish in their dealings, so far
as they can be, and take good care to avoid
the iio-license merchant, ormiller, or butcher.
4th. There is very grave reason to suspect
that our present City Council, contemplate
trying to give license for the next year, before
the expiration of their term of office, in vio-
lation of all principles of right and justice.
5th II is high time that the temperance, or
no-license party, wake up to all these facts,
and in addition to conducting rigorous cam
paign against rum, 9 carry the war into Afri-
ca . against its sympathizers. This can be
done in several ways, one of which, if acted
for all no-license people to carefully avoid
giving any more patronage to these rum SYM
pathizing merchants, butchers, bakers, or
any other calling dependent upon public pat
ronage for support.
If every temperance person would do this
with the same earnestness that characterizes
iheir opponents in their dealings they would
soon make a wholesome impression on some
of these worthless.
If temperance people were found counsel
ling each other to avoid Mr.. A. or Mr.. B. and
noteleal with him, because he is a license
man, they would be guilty of nothing more
than their opponents are daily found doing,
as some of our no.license business men eau
bear testimony.
This may to some people seem to be foolish or
incendiary doctrine, but when Tho principle
applies, that desperate diseases require despe-
rate remedies, . am anearnest advocate of it,
and in conclusion would say that | wish it dis
tinctly understood that am not in any way,
either personally or by relationship, interest
ed in any one who would be benefited by
such course on the part of the no-license
party of our city, bat have these convictions
from my own personal knowledge that this
course is pursued by our opponents, and

out on our part it would make some of those
persons who are so dresdfully anxious to give
us another years license, squeal terribly in 9
very short time.
This is notintended as a scare, but to awak-
en- our people to a sense Of what being done,
and schat can be dane if they VIII only take
hold. Let's try ii. No LICENSE.
