Of their brothsf-laborsrs hundreds Of
miles from them, asking and demanding
that the men who they had failed to
boycott should be boycottsd BY them,
and that the laboring men who
had taken their places should also be
bsycotted by them, then, II such
brother.laborers complied with the re-
quest made, IL would be like condemn
ing q MAJ, not by . jury who had heard

ious to get . verdict in their own

dence. In other words, boycotting, If
done at all, must be done by men who
know the facts. Ii Is Al outrage on
equity to ask John SIXTH to hang man
when he knows nothing OF the facts
in the case, but it would DO worse to ask
aim to do it after jury had cleared
the man Of the crime with which he
stood charged. If boycotting means
that men who know nothing OF the
merits Of dispute or = disagreement
shall condemn man unheard after he
has been sustained by workingmen
where he lives and is known, then am
opposed to it, no matter what sort Of
knights may favor it, as such . course
would be contrary to every princi-
pie of right, especially as the effect
would be not only to wish to iujare
q man unjustly, but absolutely to
irjure boycott if you choose) the work

tanned him. When one workingman
who is in the wrong wants to boycott
other workipgmen who may be in the

such boycottipg should not be sustained
by any man who recognizes the Scrip.

Guiding the "sweet singing" Of politi-
clans Just before an election, when the
"dear people" are to them " the dear

is that workingmen will so act as will
not only benefit themselves, but build
on such a foundation of right as will

ing, told him to 80 In and set . cup VI

chant customer came in, and he re-
E.arked what . dry lot they we're,
and related bis experience. The
merchant replied that hs had
fought against prohibition all be
could and spent money to defeat It, IS
he sold whiskey, but he said: Prohibi-
tion has been in force now for fourteen
months, and l would not like to go back
to selling liquor, Tor we are doing bet
ter in business and saving more money.
Formerly the men would come and
drink half their wsges-and their fami-
lies were alfclothed and fed-aDd con-
tracted debts with us which we could
not collect. Now they buy double the
quantity of goods Of all kinds, and pay
for them, and some Of them are begin

We have croakers in our midst, such
as exist everywhere, who imagine and
assert that If this act was carried into
operation great injury would be done
the city and State, which l for one
would greatly lament and help to
hinder if likely to prove true, bat be-
lievipg the opposite to be the case
prompts me to write this letter. This
city and State is going to prosper
whether liquor is sold or not, but the
less it is sold the more prosperity We
shall have.
1t is stated that the loss Of revenue
derived from liquor would cause in-
creased taxes. At first it is probable
that there might be some deficiency,
but the increased income from enlarged
existing businesses and the income de-
rived from many others started and de-
veloped, causing general prosperity.
will soon make up the loss of revenue.
