LETTER FROM NEAL Dow-vIEws OF THE
GREAT cHAMrIoN--REsULTs OF PRoHIBI-
TIoN IN MAINE.
PHILADELPHIA, July 81, 1S77.--Hon. Neal
Dow, My Dear Sir: 1t has been very public
" asserted here, many times in the past few
months, that the Maine Prohibitory law was
a failure that liquors were openly and freely
sold in Maine, very much as in States where
no such law exists, and that the law is inef-
fectual as preventative of intemperance and
crime.
These statements are SO much in conflict
with what some of US suppose to be true, that
have thought it.quite worth while to seek
correct information from one who will be ev-
erywhere recognized as authority upon the
subject, and therefore ask you to give me, for
publication, such facts as are within your
knowledge in relation to the condition of the
liquor traffic in Maine, and especially as to
the observance of your prohibitory laws and
their effects upon the habits of your people.
Very truly yours, JOSHUA l.. BAILEY.
PORTLAND. July 81, l677,-My Dear Mr.
Bailey Your letter of the 9th reached me
yesterday, aud take the earliest opportunity
to reply, Ever since the law of prohibition
to the liquor traffic in Maine was adopted,
twenty-six years ago, it has been constantly
asserted by men impelled by interest of appe-
tite, that the statute was q failure /; that it
did not in any degree diminish the sale or con-
sumption of strong drinks
A gentleman of Philadelphia came to Port
land expressly to see for himself what the
facts were. He stayed over night at the
American House, in Boston, and there, among
many gentlemen, he heard well-dressed
young man talking with great vehemcnce a.
gainst the Maine law, and asserting that there
was as much liquor sold In Portland as ever
and as opehly and freely as before the law.
A Portland gentleman sitting by said -
" Young man, will pay your expenses to
Portland and back, and win give you five dol
lars for every glass of liquor you can buy
there" The young man excused himself by
saying he had never been at Portland, but
had heard that liquors were freely sold there.
First class hotels generally have "Wine
Lists' upon the extra leaf Of their bill-offare.
A first-class hotel in Portland has this notice
on the back of its bill-of-fare
