traffic does not bear the burden Of
the State upon it's shoulders, Ike A.
las; rather does ii toss and tumble
the State about like Il fabled sleeper
in the kent of the Volcano
Not only do you not pay the taxes,
but you do add enormously to the
burden of taxation. Eighty-fve per
cent. of our crime and pauperism
come as directly from your traffic as
the rains come from the clouds or the
chickens from the eggs. The other
fifteen per cent. you may divide up
among the other industries.
The end of the ladder you do not
see is dreadfully destructive. The
ruin you leave behind you is one Of
broken hearts, desolated hearths, de-
graded manhood, debauched woman
hood. Prisons, hospitals and reform
atories are built as memorials Of your
work. At the best you minister to
an appetite He who has it not is
happier than he who has it, and he
who has it and yields to it is, of all
men, most miserable, both in his own
body and in his diseased descendants.
Crash! Look at the other end of
the ladder! Nine hundred million
dollars destroyed, 100000 men swept
into drunkard's graves, eighty-five per
cent. of our crimes rising from the
ruin of men and money as mist rises
from the sea, Homes destroyed. Capt.
tai crippled, Law parodied, Justice
demoralized, Earth desolated, Heaven
robbed, He'll glutted!
Crash and all eyes are turned on
Cincinnati. Saloons open on every
side, whisky flowing like water, a mob
surging through the streets, arson,
murder, destruction of life and prop
erty. A little louder than usual, but
the same ruin.
Gentlemen in the liquor traffic
Stop! Every ladder has two ends
Already the American people are
reaching out for the end that swings
so carelessly. Once it is seized the
other end will go crashing into Brew
cries, Distilleries and Warehouses
There will be ruin, but of helpful,
and healthful sort, to be followed by
reconstruction

Patience.

Hold thou mine hand, beloved, we sit
Within the radiance of our winter fire,
Watching the dainty shadows as they fit
On wall and ceiling, as the flames leap higher.
Hold thou mine hand, beloved, with the calm
Close clasp of love assured and at rest,
And let the peace of home. blessed balm,
Fall on us, folding fai ithful breast to breast.
Hold thou mine hand, beloved, while speak
OF all thy love hath done and borne for me
The stronger soul supporting still the weak,
The good hand giving royalty and free:
The tender heart that put mans roughness by,
To wipe weak tears from eyes too seldom dry.
I touch this thing and that. thy pretty gifts,
The silver zone, the jewelled fnger-ring,
The outward symbols of a love that lifts
My fate and me beyond life's buffeting.
Yet, oh. thrice generous giver there remains
A thing for which have not thanked thee yet.
Thy patience-through the long years with their
pains
Thy patience with my weakness and regret
All, let me thank thee now with falling tears
Tears of great joy. and deep, serene content,
And God be thanked that through the weary
years
We saw together ere our lives were blent,
Although the years were desolate and long,
Thy patience matched thy love, and both were
strong .

,'All, excepting the first item, have
left the country stronger and better
Bread and meat have built up muscle
iron and steel are built into the ma
terial prosperity of the Republic
wooden and cotton goods have made
life bearable in our northern climate
sawed lumber has given US houses;
boots and shoes have kept us shod for

What building stands because of it,

warmer because Of it? What house

Nine hundred million dollars spent
for liquor means so much withdrawn
from legitimate trade, so much capi-
tai destroyed. Had this amount Of
money been spent for liquors and the
liquors poured into the streets it
would have been loss enough; but
they have been filtered through hu-
man beings, and have taken the filter
with them into the gutter. In this
mighty cup Of death, with its $780,
000,O 900 Of money value, 100000 lives
have dissolved this past year, as Cleo
patra dissolved her pearl in vinegar,
and have been poured down the throat
Of Avarice. In another cup of like
value 100000 drunkards are dissolving
as I write; of this number one-sixth
will be destroyed each twelvemonth,
but the'hand of Appetite will keep
the cup supplied.
This money represents the bloody
sweat of our country in its Geth-
semane. Those who should be awake
are sleeping. The Judas of Avarice
and Sanhedrim Of Satan never sleep,
and law obeys the call of evil. Unless
this traffic can be quenched this coun-
try will toll up a new Calgary and be
laid in its tomb beyond the power Of
resurrection.
You claim to pay the taxes OF the
country. Liquor pays nothing until
it is consumed, and then the men who
consume it, and are consumed by it,
pay the taxes. Money does not rise
on whisky as cream does on milk.
Poured into the stomach Of the user
it operates like acid on his pocket
book. and the seller gathers up what
the whisky has washed out.
The money spent for liquors repre-
sents very little in the hand of labor.
Death is the portal through which
grain passes into liquor, malt into
beer, grapes into wine. It needs but
few to watch by the door Of death.
Food, manufactured articles, bear the
stamp Of labor; liquors do not. Of
all the money invested in this country
liquor pays labor least and capital
most. All the taxes that you pay
come from the consumer, SO your !

Two Ends.
BY o. p. CLIFFORD.

A small boy was one day carrying a
ladder on his shoulders, guiding the
end he could see, when he heard
crash in the rear. Standing by the
shattered window the boys father
taught this simple lesson: Every
ladder has two ends"
We commend the simple incident,
with the practical lesson therefrom,
to the careful study of the men en-
gagged in the liquor traffic. You think
only Of the end of the ladder you can
see. In all your appeals for special
legislation, in all your manipulation
Of city offices, in all your bribery of
lawmakers and executors, from the
Congress Of the United States to the
Select men of the New England town,
you have an eye simply on the for
ward end of the ladder. You believe
in the business because you find quick
returns and large profits. You clamor
for the banks burdened with your
paper, and plead for the stomachs
ruined by your wares, but all this
clamor and pleading is because of the
money you find coming back
to you. If you supposed for a mo-
ment that the dead goose would be. of
more value than the living goose you
would not hesitate to take the life of
the bird, though it sacrificed every
bank interested and every stomach
injured. You see but one end Of the
ladder; you guide that with consider
able skill. You speak of the immense
income from liquors coming to the
government, you emphasize the appe-
tite Of the nation for strong drink,
and with these two facts, as with two
hands, you steady and guide one end
Of the ladder.
Pause moment, turn your head,
see the track Of ruin you have made
behind you. One would think a
cyclone had swept from Maine to Cal
ifornia; that cloud charged with
living fire had swept the face of the
country. Listen to the crash-prop-
erty destroyed, homes ruined, lives
wrecked.
A student of statistics has lately
published in the Christian Union a
statement of the several amounts
spent for liquor, a luxury, and the
physical, mental and moral necessities
Of the American people in one year.
Here are his figures:

In The Fold.
ARTHUR Give.

The snow drives fast across the height;
The day died young and grey,
without a gleam of crimson light
The cleaning passed away:
Blow winter wind-the snow drives fast
Ger dreary wood and wold;
Safe sheltered from the cutting blast
The sheep are in the fold.
The shepherds child, with rosy face
Close press'd against the pane,
Looks out with eager eyes to trace
The footpath on the plain:
The child laughs softly, sweet and low,
Safe sheltered from the cold;
The path is lost beneath the snow,
The lamb is in the fold.
The mother sits beside the fire,
And fast her needle flies,
With busy hands that never tire,
And thoughts that end in sighs:
She knows the churchyard on the hill
Is lone and white and cold;
Hush, throbbing bosom F! peace, be still
The lamb is in the fold !

The maleyolent spirit that actual es
the whisky interest towards any and
all attempts to restrain the dire evils
which inevitably flow from that traffic
has nowhere been more heinously or
atrociously demonstrated than at
Wachita, Kansas, where last Satur-
day the rum sellers and their adher-
ents burned down a Methodist church,
and set fire to Presbyterian church.
A citizen who had rented his hall for
holding temperance meetings was no.
titled to cancel his lease with the Pro-
hibitionists, or look out for trouble.
OF course such antagonist to law and
order can be attended with but one
result. When it comes to war be-
tween the saloon and the church, the
former will have TO go. Such resist
tance to the law will only make
friends for it, and the efforts to en-
force it will in the end triumph.

A report signed by the five Republi-
can members Of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the Copiah
county, Mississippi, election outrages,
has been made to the United States
Senate. It states that conspiracy
organized by representative young
Democrats, with the countenance of
that party in Copiah, was entered into
to drive their opponents from the
polls; that to that end systematic out
RACES were Ierpetrated, ending in
murder, one of the victims being a
wealthy and generally respected white
man; that during the whole time
these outrages Were going on, the
Democrat State and county officers
remained passive, and thus allowed
the election to be turned into mock
cry. The report recommends the
publication of the testimony; the
passage of remedial legislation; also
that after the election in Mississippi,
unless the same shall be unquestiona-
bly, fair and free, there shall be a full
investigation of the condition of
things in that State, with a view to
determining the question whether re-
publican government exists there, and
whether it is entitled to its existing
representation, or has forfeited it in
whole or in part by reason Of denial
or infringement Of the right to vote
to any Of its people.-Colmmbus Dis

John c. Fremont was the first Re-
publican candidate for President Less
than one-half of the men who will
participate in the Presidential election
this year have personal recollection
of the contest of 1856, when Fremont
was defeated by James Buchanan.
The Fremont campaign prepared the
way-made straight the paths-which
led to the election of Abraham Lin
coin in 1860. General. Fremont is
now seventy years Of age; but his eye
is not dim, neither is his natural force
abated. His Republicanism is undis-
puted. He is ''honest, capable and
faithful" Should the Chicago con-
vention-as in 1ssO-fnd it necessary
to put forward a compromise man,
why should not Fremont be that man? ?
His nomination would involve no
compromise Of the principles of the
party-no yielding to the demands Of
any faction. No Republican would
hesitate as to the propriety of casting
his vote for the ''Pathfnder"
Conquerer of California; and the first
Senator in Congress from the Pacific
coast.-Co7um5us Sunday Herald.
