The Penn's Grove record., 1886-10-23

ed MIR. Lee 10 cho6se some place for
him to expound the truth but he look
ed suspicious and did not seem to APP
preciate the side show. The other was
that the Maine Prohibition law was a
failure. AS there were 10 brewery or
or distilleries, or public saloons he
thought il a welcomed failure. Be
fore the wal the Democrats gave Pro-
hibition to sixteen states and the Re
pubIicans repealed it in eleven. He
was sorry to see some good men in the
Republican party but the liquor men
in the upper part of the State whipped
them every time. The Republicans
prOfessed to have a temperance candi-
for Governor yet he voted in Congress
for the Liquor extension bill. Not u
license law had they made. The Demo
Gratis voted protection to the mud hers
nest but none 70 TIE boys and girls.
They favor protection to the working
mar yet the protection he needs worst
is form strong drink.
Gen. Clinton b. Fisk, the Prohibit
ton candidate for Governor, next
spoke for a half hour. lie sail he was
thinking what wonderful boys DR.. Graw
has if they would take up the temper
auce cause and beat him WHEN lie sgune.
If all should raise such boys he llqubr
business would come to al end. In re
CARDS to the Maine laws being a fail
ure he said New Jersey would hail such
a failure with gladness when there
would be no brewery, distriliery or
open saloon in this State and when the
/ liquor was driven to the dark and Sc
cret places. The saloon was the great
est curse to the country and no one
offers any defence for it. 1t under
mines the prosperity Of the country
and saps the minds of the young. 1t
is the slaughter house Of Humanity and
turns men to beasts. 1t throttles the
editor, the julg9, AMI the preacher.
The liquor dealer did not care which
old party was in rowerthey control
each as the temperance record o. each
shows they do. The Legislature slaugh-
tered the hygiene bill and ridiculed
the women. The beer manufacturers
trade mark on beer bottles was pro-
tected from the liquor, He went be-
fore the last Legislature and urged the
passage of a little baby OF a local OPP
ton bill but they killed it. A church
melDber of the legislature saidit would
kill him to vote or 1t. Tile General
told him he had better die then. They
would give him a decent burial and
also Il glorious resurrection. Not one
vUte in favor of temperance has been
recorded IN the Legislature in twenty
years. There must be something IN
this cause where 81 many people come
out aad gave their attentions. Tie
people must take hold of 1t If We intend
TO continue a Tree people.
