WHOM THE GODS WISH TO DE-
STROY THEY FIRST MAKE

Black List-A Precious Document.

A most remarkable piece of printing
put forth by the Whisky Ring of Jack
son has recently fallen into the hands OF
the Prohibition people. 1t is piece OF
red card board, about six by ten inches.
headed in the heaviest type" "Black List"
Underneath is printed: "The following
persons have signed the prohibition petit
tom" then follow in large capitals the
names of some of the prominent citizens
of Jackson, who signed petitions against
retailing spirits. Under this list is
printed, 1.-The following refuse to sign
whisky petitions" followed by large
number of names printed In small capl-
.als of persons of various callings and
professions, who declined to put their
names on petition for license to sell
vinous and spirituous liquors. As the
various petition-mongers would find
man who would not become party to
their nefarious traffic they would write
his name on a separate sheet, and thi,
Black List, to be doubtless circulated
freely among the whisky fraternity, is
the result. We notice after some names
the occupation of the individual ap-
pended, as "butcher," shoemaker"
The meaning of this highly interest
ing procedure, is that all persons who
decline to become the vassals of King
Alcohol, are to have all the patronage
and custom of the whisky people severe
ly Withdrawn from them. In other
words, the saloon men are just going "to
set down squarely" upon their business
and ruin them forever. The whole ring
are to be instruc ed not to employ a
certain lawyer, nor trade with such
a merchant, nor patronize certain
butcher or shoemaker because such per-
sons refused to sign whisky petition.
Here is boycotting with vengeance.
The guage of war has been thrown
down defantly by the whisky men and
all who don't choose to march under
their banner must suffer the conse-
quences. however dreadful they may be.
Alas! alas!l has it come to this? Must
lawyers, merchants, butchers and shoe
makers, sign whisky petitions, or else
have their daily bread withdrawn What
say ye, men of Jackson! Shall this
Black List continue to be Haunted In
your faces until every spirit of manly
independence be lost? What say ye,
genteel, respectable sigI ers of whisky
petitionS7 Will ye let your names re-
main and thus perpetuate this merciless
despotism; or will you withdraw your
signatures and thus help to save our
people from two-fold slavery-frst,
that of being dominated by the whisky
thirst, then at of being dragooned
into their service by the whisky vendors ?
Self-respect, freedom, justice, humanity,
all appeal to you no longer to become
parties to the perpetuation of this rum
power at once so destructive of the best
interests of society and SO intolerant of
opposition.
