To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Your correspondent xxx in selecting
his nom de plume seems to have been
guided by sort Of blind algebraic i'm
pulse. lie certainly represents aud
relies on unknown quantities " to an
extent very damaging to his cause.
Moreover, in bis article in your issue OF
April Sd he shows that he has lost his
temper. Whenever, in serious de-
bate, a man loses his temper he Is very
apt TO lose his cause also.
Let us now calmly review some OF
his statements and inferences-lirst,
as to sumptuary laws: Instead OF ac-
cepting the challenge given in my arti-
Gle and looking at these laws in the
light Of their history, he has given
us superficial quotation from die
tionary. Now, happily, on this sub
ject have higher authority than Xxx
and his dictionary. Sir William Black
stone has shown US what sumptuary
laws are, and how widely they differ
from laws enacted to protect the public
health, sanity, and morals. The princi-
pie underlying a sumptuary law is
the asserted right of the State to re-
strict the individual man as to his
use and enjoyment of things entirely
innocent in themselves, such as cloth
ing, furniture and food. Thus Black
stone in his Commentaries w., 100,
edition 1886, refers to the laws of the
reign of Edward the Third, Edward the
Fourth, and Henry the Eighth against
piked shoes, short doublets, and long
coats, and other excuses in apparel, all
of which were sumptuary laws, and
were repealed by Jacq. l, ch. Is.
And be refers also to the sumptuary
law, 10 Edward H., which enacted
that man should not have more than
two courses served to him at
dinner or supper, and which
law, though doubtless fallen into
innocuous desuetude," was actually
unrepealed when he wrote. But the
principles underlying laws forbidding
the sale Of intoxicating liquors is the
right and duty Of the State to forbid
that which inevitably tends to the in-
jury Of health, sanity, and morals; to
the disturbance Of peace, the fostering
of crime, and the corruption Of virtue.
And that same Blackstone who states
so candidly the objections to sumptuary
laws, distinctly upholds and approves
the principle Of non-liquor-license laws.
For in his Commentaries w., l2l, he
refers spprovipgly to the statute laws
Of England forbidding the sale of un-
wholesome provisions, corrupted wine,
and adulterated food or liquor. When
Blackstone wrote in 1859 it had not
been scientifically demonstrated, as
it has been in our age, that
any liquor by drinking which
intoxication may be produced in
evitably tends TO destroy health, de-
throne reason, corrupt morals, engendsr
insanity, and produce crime. There.
fore in our day this distinction between
sumptnsry laws and non.liquor-licsnss
laws is fully established, and the Su-

enact. his manhood, bis virtue, and
sben tskss his life in the horrors o!
monio pofu and delirinn treme"s, and
finally takes his undying soul and con-
signs il to perdition.
So let XXX and all who agree with
him talk ad libitum. Their words are
;dle breath against the power that has
.,;sen in this country. The no.liquor-
license power has come to stay. and 1t
10 certain of ultimate triumph If its
friends will be faithful and true, for it
il founded upon the only rock which
God has made indestructible in this
world. and that rock is TRUTH.

There comes natural cry Of alarm
from Butte. lest the continued decline
in silver will make it necessary in that
region to turn 1900 men out of employ
ment. We expect to hear such COM
plants from all silver producing regions.
Silver miners will have to sooner or later
realize the fact that there is a full de-
termination to destroy their work and
compel them to close down their mines;
that this is the working out Of conspiracy
which was organized fifteen years ago for
the purpose Of reducing the real money
Of the world one.half, that the other half
might be doubled in purchasing power.
They should understand, too, that to
carry out the programme, most Of the
National banken Of the Eastern States,
tcSether with the bankers Of England, the
Netherlands and Germany, are in league,
and that the administration at Washing.
ton, backed by the Senate and House Of
Representatives, is Willingly or unwit.
tingly helping along this conspiracy. 1t
is going to Be hard struggle until next
winter, but we believe that the business
can be checked then. In the meantime.
the product 81 farm and factory is falling
off as rapidly as silver is, and when the
pressure reaches starvation limit with
these people, they will make such a de.
mand that Congress will be bound to
heel it. It is robbery, and threatens to
h ruin, hut we shall win yet.--[Salt
