The Trade Argume Mt.

In connection with the contest now go
ing on in this city between the advocates
of license and non-lieense of the liquor
traffic. the argument OF injury to trade
IL it may be digniied with the name OF
argument-is a very potent consideration
in the estimation of few business men.
They admit that whisky is a great evil,
and that 10 does vast amount of harm
by increasing crime, taxes, and pauper-
ism and by sapping the productive pow
ers of labor, the chief source of wealth,
"but" they say, ''if the saloons of Brook
haven are closed, it will cause the coun-
try people to change their trade to places
where whisky can be had" Not only is
this disproved by IN abundance Of such
testimony and experience as that pub
lished last week from Shubuta, but such
arguments will he rebuked and spit upon
by the sober, industrious and thrifty
country people themselves. Not only do
they discover the injustice of building
up town at the expense of country
drinkers, with all that implies (if such a
thing were really true), but the better
class of country peOple-those whose
trade is really worth courting-cast the
imputation back into the teeth of the
men who utter it when they accuse them
of being drawn to town by whisky
like bnZzards to carriOn. They ask Why
is it if they love whisky so well, don't
they establish convenient whisky dead.
falls la the country Marion is rid of
the traffic, Lawrence is rid of it, Simpson
is rid of it, COpiah will be after May LIST,
ana Lincoln would have been more than u
year ago if the country people had had
their choice on the question. In the
name of n few drupkards no are slaves
to their cups and few misled people of a
social turn, whose opinion is hcralded as
the sentiment or the sober, honest, thrifty
majority of our country population, all
this fuss about "injury to trade" IS raised.
There is only one trade that would be in
jured by prohibition, that is the whisky
trade, and the thousands of dollars that
now 20 into the pockets of whisky dis
tillers in Kentucky add elsewhere, would
otherwise be spent to buy bread and
meat 70" the toper's children and help
pay honest debts.
Business accommodations, cheap goods
and plenty of them, fair prices paid for
country products, etc, are the prime at
fractions to trade. Wcll-filled and we'll
kept store-honses, ware houses, stock
yards for the accommodation of campers
such things as these draw it. 1t were
better to let the other towns have the
topper traffic, if such persons must needs
have their liquor. There will then be
fewer unpaid accounts TO carry over on
the ledger, and thcr, will be better
customer to take every such individuals
place.
Many of our business men are now tax
ing this sensible view of the matter, and
we predict that tho future will write
them down among the pioneers so new
and better era f0r all.
