TEMPERANCE Alliance.

In the House of Delegates on Mon
day, the 25th ultimo, memorial
from the Hon. William Daniel,
president of the Maryland Temper
ance Alliance. was presented, in ans
wer to the petition the week before
by the liquor dealers. 1t is an able
document and most successfully re-
flutes every argument advanced by
those in favor of the continuance of
the traffiicin this State. Speaking of
the supposed deficit in the finances of
the State, which will be requird to be
made up by direct taxation, which is
the main ground the liquor dealers
stand upon, the memorial says, sit
would be but about an additional st
cents on the 500. the whole revenue
from all sources of which intOxicat-
ing LIQUORS, from any part, being
about $149. 400, and the taxable basis
of the State being about $47s, 46S, $50.
But when it is considered that a
considerable portion of this tax. say
at least one-third, comes from hotels,
oyster and eating houses, restaurants,
etc., which would get license even
without the liquors, it would not
amount to more than 2 or q cents on
the 500; Is cents on 1,0O0i $3.50 on
$40, 900, and $25 on 100000. Who
would not be willing to pay this tax
and ten times this amount to have
abolished this rum curse? Aye, who
would not be better able to pay ten
times this amount?
But not only would there be no
extra taxes to pay, but much less to
pay than is now required to pay, as
the fact seems to be we'll substantial
ted, and will doubtless be confirmed
by members of the legislature, that
in the counties where local prohibit
ton prevails. taxes have been reduc.
ed about 10 to 20 cents on the 500,
and such results everywhere would
be net gain to the credit of prohibi-
ton of 16 to IS cents, even if this
amount OF revenue should be requir.
ed to be made up by direct taxation.
"But, who, after all, pays this
revenue tax, the liquor seller as they
boast? BY no means. 1t is the liquor
drinker, and out of the hard earnings
frequently, that ought to go to feed
and clothe hi sfamily. And, as agree.
ing with this statement, the Balti.
more Sun has very forcibly SAID:
Judging from the immense profits
realized in the business, one would
naturally suppose that the consumer
paid them, that is the taxes, and il
is hazarding little to say that the
American people would raise bread
riot in less than week if they were
charged the same profits by the
bakers upon the staff of life that they
pay without grumbling upon th(
spirits which they consumer
