nue statistics at six hundred million dollars the estimate for last year was one hundred and four million dollars. The annual con sumption of beer has increased from about twenty three million gallons in 1840 to five hundred and ffty-one million gallons in 1883; that of distilled liquors from forty three million gallons in 1850 to seventy-eight million in 1853 and wines from five million to twenty-five mil lion. Whilst the population has only trebled since 1S40, the consumption of liquor has been nearly ten times as great. 1t IS never theless true that in prohibitory States there has been decrease. Another obstacle to prohibition is the failure to enforce such laws in certain localities by the treachery of certain officials charged with their execution. The policy of the government is also that of licensing and fostering the traffic. To change this policy is the imperative duty of the hour and it requires political organization just as other great reforms have required for their accomplishment
 But some of our prohibitory friends ask why not build up the sentiment need within existing parties and use them. l re- plythat no great reforms have ever been known to grow up within parties or even ill churches. The liquor men having already two great parties well adapted to their pur- pose have no need of third, but the Pro hibitionists are forced to create one. Both parties have opposed or ignored this issue. Cleveland and Hendricks cry out against 'fsumptuary laws" Blaine would perpetu- ate the traffic for the purpose of raising per manent revenue, stating that it is better that it should come from this source than from the ftfarms and shops" Monstrous proposition, truly, that it should be necessary or proper to wiring this blood-money from the homes of poverty and distress to pay the taxes of the rich who own the farms and shops! General Logan would place a number of grog shops about every school house in order that the former may support the latter. The drink demon is the great despoiler alike of wage earnings and the profits of capital. Nor can we have a thorough civil service re- form until the temptations to drink are re- moved, and society as well as honesty and capacity are made tests of office holding. Protection to homes and the now wasted re- sources of the people will be more important than protection afforded by any tariff. Lastly this movement offers grand oppor- tunity of burying forever the sad memories and hates of the war and of uniting the best clements throughout the land against the worst, in an organization that will know no north, south, east or west, its great purpose being the protection of the homes against the saloons Respectfully yours,

whereby the latter will vote for Robinson,
 and if the Supreme court declares the Scott
 law unconstitutional the Republicans endorse
 the prohibitory amendment scheme. The
 Democrats say this cannot hurt them, for
 while ten thousand Prohibitionists may sup port Robinson it will drive more than double
 that number of voters to the Democrats. Tel egrams received here indicate that the Re
 publicans are giving Foran hard run for
 reelection to Congress at Cleveland, and that Grosvenor, the Republican candidate in the
 Hooking district, is likely to be beaten,
 although he has large majority behind him.
 The Union League For Elaine.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Hon. William M.
 Evarts, president of the Union League club,
 presided at a meeting which was held this evening to take formal action upon the report of special campaign committee appointed last spring. The meeting was largely at
 tended, over six hundred members being present. The report and resolutions went
 through without material objections. The vote was more than two-thirds in favor of
 adoption and formally commits the club to the support of the Republican candidates.
 When the report and resolutions pre-
 sented and read Jackson L. Schultz present
 ed & point of order that it must under the rules be referred to committee. The pur- pose of this objection was to obtain post ponement of action by securing the reference which is provided for when 25 members quest. But the chair decided the point not we'll taken and there was no appeal The decision of Mr. Evarts was based upon the point that the time for such 41,o., committee was appointed and that it was now too late, and as the point raised was not supported by twenty-five members it was held by members of the club that it was not ' in fact really before the meeting The vote upon the adoption was then taken by I ayes and nays, endorsing the I report and recommendations of the commit | tee. The committee report through their \ chairman, Legrande B. Cannon, that the jealous support of the club is due to the Re \ publican nominees. They point out the top | ics involved in the campaign, principal among | which are a protective tariff, restoration of \ the shipping trade, a stable financial policy ! and maintenance of civil service reform. l The report concludes by saying:
 So long as the Democratic party in it's hope of
 consoIidated South non-political on any issues of
 the present or the future and unperneated by free
 R1ssI0is EoFal votes: an out of sas of the great northern energetic, independent, lawabding
 mass-dividing all the issues of the present and \ of the future and upheld in this freedom by the law protected suffrage-no lover and loyal adher
 of the Republican party dream of seeing the
 transfer of political power to the Democratic party
 submit resolutions urging vigorous support of the Republican nominees.
 The report being adopted and the commit | tee continued with instructions to carry out ! the purposes of the resolutions the meeting | adjourned.

 BROOKLYN. Oct. 9, 1884. To General R. A. Alger Detroit
 Dear sir-I have just received your letter of Octo- Der exhorting me publicly to retract your (my) statements you have in your zeal for the Democratic nominee and party spread them before the whole country When she heat of this canvass s passed you will think that suchlanguage borders too upon insult to be either just or wise beg the truth or otherwise of Mr Joys statements to me respecting Mr Blaine The only question is, Did Mr Joy make the statements? The transac- tions between him and Mir. Blaine through an inter medary may all be mythical; the inter medary may be impoStor, MT. Blaine'S feelings may have never been hurt by any such requests. Mir. Joy may never have been shocked at MT. Baine's imputed answer; and MT Joys artless feel ings being practiced upon by this intermediary, he may have expressed himself too severely about MT. Blaine. Let Mir. Joy and Mir. Blaine settle that between themselves. I have nothing to do with all that. Did Mr.. Joy make the remarks in my presence which I have published? If he- did not have lied If he did Joy has lied. There is middle ground there shall be none. Either heard or 1 invented it. Mir. Joys second telegram to you makes a languid and foolish denial which attribute to his not having seen understood my statement. But 1f MT. Joy has seen my statement and denied it. or if when he lands in New York he shall declare that no such conversation had in my presence, then l have only to say that whereas did not imagine there could be more than one continental liar, am compelled to think that there are two. Please ac- cept this letter the only retracton and apology Mr. Blaine and to the Republican party.
