THE BELL PUNCH.
Editors Iankton Press and Dakomian:

Editors Idnkton Press and Dakotuian:
We must not let Chicago, Cincinnati and
other small towns monopolize the bell punch
business. We need it here in Yankton. Its
adoption in the saloons, 2 cents on strong
drinks and l cent on slops, will raise enough
revenue t. run the city government, put
down all needed new sidewalks, repair old
ones, and have a surplus for the Reform
club to begin house keeping on.
And, Messrs. Editors. the punch will
benefit all parties. 1t will be hailed with
joy by the saloon proprietor, because no
stamps no punch; and so it will stop all
credit business; and it will almost do away
With the extravagant and vulgar habit of
treating, for the reason that most Of the
treating is done by those who, after the
drinks have been taken, say to the knight of
the muddler, "just mark that down. And
better than all, when you stop the credit
business, and stop treating on credit, you
reduce the aggregate consumption of alec.
holic liquors, in Yankton, at least 80 per
cent. And this We maintain is the strong
est argument in its favor. And notwi.h h.
standing this reduced consumption, the ven
der will be benefited, because he will get pay
for all he sells. There will be no bad debts,
or debts Of any kind, for the shekels must
come down before the punch can ring, and
no ring no drink and it will free the sa-
looms from the hangers on and deai-beats,
because when you reduce it to a cash basis,
as the introduction of the punch will do.
Each customer will be content to pay fer his
own punch, and there will be no one to "set
'em up for the boys"
This world is not filled with saints. and
won't be until after the battle of Annaged.
den, and while we never expect to see the
sale of intoxicating liquors entirely cease,
we do believe a great impetus may be given
the temperance reform movement, which is
accomplishing such great results in this COM
nunity, by the introduction of the bell
punch; for when you reduce the aggregate
consumption SO per cent, with correspond
ing beneficial results to the vendor, and re-
lieve people from the oppressive taxation
that is now such a burthen, you elevate the
moral standard and promote the cause of
christianity.
