Prohibitory Legislation.

" tiAo VI tIl6 ClODe.
In your daily issue of February 18th, you
take occasion under the above caption to speak
against the pending constitutional amend
ment, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors. The usual bare asser-
tons are made upon this subject without one
fact or figure to sustain them
Permit me to say in the first place, that a
prohl bltory statute is not a sumptuary law. If
1t were then all license laws ought to be abol-
lshed. There Is just as much sumptuary in
making it illegal to sell liquor on Sunday as
on Monday; to sell to inebriates as to sober
men. Prohibitory law forbids the sale, not the
use. 1t is not true that prohibition increases
the use of liquors. This oft-repeated fallacy
have challenged the proof of again and
again, both through the public press and from
the platform, and it has never been given If
the GLOBE thinks that the principle of prohibi-
tion increases the crime against which it is
aimed, would it not be we'll to apply for an
amendment to the decalogue. What a mistake
the Lord made when He commanded, s.Thou
shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal - 'Thou
shalt not commit adultery
How much wiser it would have been to have
licensed all these crimes-sold indulgences for
instance.
Maine is referred to as an exhibition of the
failure of license. First, it tends to opium
eating, beside which drunkenness almost as
sumes the dignity of a virtue" Is it possible!
Snch sentence in the nineteenth century
Wlilthe GLOBE show where and low opium
eating increases taxation? When has there
been a single crime committed through its
use! What victim on the gallows ever laid his
terrible fate to opium Docs it bring three
f %" OF our convicIs 70 ohelr prison! The
absolute aosurolty OF this assertion would
