has been Of inestimable value to the temper
ance work:
It has closed up the breweries and distil-
leries which formerly cursed the State.
1t has shut up open bar rooms throughout
tho State.
It has driven the traffic in intoxicating
drinks into the dark and foul dens and slums
Of infamy and crime, and thereby to a large
extent removed the temptation from those
who are striving to reform.
Supplementing the work of tho Good
Templars, Sons of Temperance, Temple Of
Honor, Reform Clubs and all other temperance
organizations, it has placed the State of Maine
In the front Of the great temperance army of
the nation, and illustrated Its motto. "Dirigo."
Therefore,
Resolved, That the temperance mon and
women Of Maine are unalterably determined
that no backward step shall be taken in the
cause Of prohibition, believing it to be one Of
the most vital and important Of the issues Of

To the Temperance Voter, of Maine.'
A large number of your co-workers as
sembled in mass convention at Old Orchard
Beach camp ground on this first day Of Septem-
Der, 1880, take the liberty to call your candid
attention to the present exigencies of the
temperance cause in our State. Maine is
prominently temperance state. A large
majority OF our citizens are total abstainers
from the use of all Intoxicating liquors. This
enviable position has been attained BY
gradual yet persistent application of truth to
only is Maine conspicuonsly a temperance
State but the great principle of the prohibition
OF the sale of Intoxicating liquors has become
the settled policy of the State. For nearly a
quarter OF century has the Maine law been
upon the statute books of the State, and its
general and impartial enforcement has not
only been approved by the people but has
placed US in advance Of the civilized world in
this cause: In the accomplishment Of this
great work the friends of this reform have
hitherto been united and by proper use of
their moral and political power have induced
our legislators to give us suitable laws upon
this subject and the executive of tho State
and the municipal officers of counties, cities
ana towns to enforce these laws. While We
admit that in some of the cities of our State,
OWING purely to local causes and for which the
present dominant party of the State are not
Responsible, the law lie not so faithfully en-
forced as 1t should be yet we assert that the
law against drinking houses and tipplin9
shops is as generally impartially executedfwitR
the above exceptions) as any law upon our
statute books
While this success has been gained bv thu

regret that any who have hitherto worked

The Coming crops.

The prospects of an abundant wheat
and fruit crop for this year are more
promising than they have been for a
number of years past, and the farmers
everywhere r rejoicing. Recent re-
ports show an increase of acreage in
wheat over any season for a number of
years past. The growing crop is in ex-
cellent condition, the growth being heavy
and stands well throughout the State,
with the exception of a few localities
where the heavy rains drowned it out.
The fruit crop is exceptionally promising
all over the State, and should no evil be-
fall it, such as a late frost, it will exceed
any crop gathered since the memorable
fruit years of 1858 and 1854. We are in
formed by reliable parties hat the re-
cent cold nights and light frosts have not
injured the opening buds in the least.
Even the peach crop promises an abund-
and yield, which is something remarka-
BILE in this part of the State. The out
look for a good harvest in every depart
ment was better, and farmers and
business men generally have cause to re-
joice ove the bright prospects OF better
times, and a restoration of public conf
dence to the prevailing standard prior to
the panic of 1873.
