A Few Reasons why the Augusta, Maine,
Edition WIN Outsell All Others
Ten TO One.
LIST Because il Is the authentic edition Published
from Augusta. the home of Blaine, and has had iie
advantage OF the most complete knowledge oil MS
ID Because Mr. Blaine and his friends co operat-
ed wit the author and publishers in order that !
work might be most complete and correct IN all
Sd Because Col ConwelI is better fitted for writ
ing such volume than any other man IN America,
all his earnestness, knowledge, and ability VIII oe
found in the volume.
4th b cause in its manufacture II is the largest,
est and handsomest book ever published for the
price that il is sold for. Let one think of work
ing for any other edition; never do for one dollar
what you can just well receive $1,000 for you can
sell ten books of the Augusta edition where yo1
would hardly sell one of any other.
5th. Because our volume is a pictorial biography,
and illustrates the most interesting scenes In the
life of the candidate. Our volume Is splendidly
illustrated
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
of the early life OF the distinguished statesman and is
familiar with the career of the boy and youth, from
the statements of those still living there, who knew
him them this is intensely interesting portion OF
the volume.

And this increase i most marked in the

To answer the latter question first: \
fair estimate would give us, in tie aggre-
gate, foreign emigration of four hundred
thousand families during the past five years.
For the same period the increase in the
consumption of liquor has been nearly
three hundred millions of gallons-that is,
about six hundred gallons to every family
of emigrants, 1t is manifest that the in
crease is due to very limited extent TO
emigration.
We believe i'll moral agencies: we be-
lieve that we have not nearly exhausted
their capacity in meeting this evil But,
unaided by the strong arm of the law, we
do not believe that they can stay the alec
holic deluge that is rising higher and high

This reminds lis of the story of a boy who
was sent to a mill to get some grist ground
He was told To wait for the meal The
stones didn't seem to work right, and the
boy lost all patience at the very slender
stream of meal that fell into the tub. At
last he said to the miller, Cant you make

The statistics of the liquor traffic COM
piled by the Government prove that for
years the temperance cause, relatively. has
lost ground steadily. rapidly Relahcely:
Of course, there has been a gain in
the education Of that part of the pub
lie that is ON our side; but we must
not forget that there has been a greater
gain on the other side. We are better
organized; so are they. Measured by the
amount of liquor consumed per capita
of the population, liquol-sellers are rela-
lively three-fold stronger than they were a
half-century ago, and stronger by onc-half
than they were five years ago. And we,
of course, reldttcely weaker by just that
much. AT this rate of grinding ont public
sentiment and victory, how long will it
take to starye TO death the temperance
cause? Moral agencies, unsupported by
law. are not sufficient to cope with the
liquor traffic. Nor have we confidence
that the law can render efficient help, until
We place behind it a Probationary party
to see its enforcement.-1Ae Voice.
