The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1882-11-25
The InsOlence of the Rum Power.

Among the powers of darkness, there
is none that carries forward its work
under conditions of organized tIvity
that can compare with the traffic in in
tOXicating drink. The owners of dis
tilleries and breweries are banded to-
gether in compacts that pledge the use
of the enormous wealth and capital
created by their nefarious business, in
unfolding and sustaining its interests at
all hazards. With brazen effrontery
they have bid defiance to publ C senti-
ment, and threatened the direst ven
geance upon those in political or civil
station who dared to raise voice of
condemnation or place any obstacle in
the way of their plans. They could
make no objection to Temperance talk,
and with a passing sneer and sling have
been willing that Temperance sentiments
should be Incorporated into party plat
forms with the understanding that this
sap to quiet Temperance people should
be offset by giving them the inside con-
troll. They have made the most inso-
lent demands. Standing at the doors
of primaries and conventions packed in
their interest, they have said: "Nomi-
nate men who will do our bidding, or
at least keep hands off from our bust
ness, or we will throw our influence
against you and destroy your party"
They have pointed to their ull money
bags and then to the wretched victims
of their trade prepared to follow any
policy they may dictate, and with inso-
lent bravado they have defed public
sentiment and announc d their determi-
nation to break down and override any
legal restraints that were designed to
hamper or restrain their traffic. Com
munities where efforts have been put
forth to close the dram-shops know full
well how this organized power stands
back of and sustains hose who sell its
products.
There is reason, however, to believe
that the very insolence and arrogance
of those who represent the Ubiquitous
traffic in drink is overreaching its mark
and aiding to develop and strengthen
public opinion in opposition both to the
sale and unlimited manufacture of in
toxicating beverages. Even those who
have but lit.'e interest in distinctively
Temperance issues, and do not even
sympathize with the views of total alb
stainers, are aroused and ind ;gnant at
the insOlent demands and threats of the
rum power. The force of public opin-
ion that has recently struck such heavy
blows in the West has gathered much of
its strength from this source. "Whom
the gods destroy they first make mad"
sometimes it is the hiss that discovers
the serpent. When a source of iniGuity
wakes strong in its resources, and be-
comes insolent and domineering in it's
demands, there is hope in the awaken
ing of the public conscience, which, once
fully aroused, may strike blows that will
not only stun but destroy the. accursed
power. - GOldcH Rule.
