His Vicious Literature Flooding
the Stats.
Mr.. Williams Receives a Batch
and Dissects It.

EDITOR FREEMAN:
/ received my first installment
of anti. Prohibition literature today.
1t consists of an eight-page PAM
phlet, entitled, Prohibition in
Iowa." and two circulars, one enti-
tied, "Cost of Prohibition" tho
other, Weighed and found Want
ing" I must confess I was taken
by surprise. Not that some one
was foolish enough to send such a
bundle of falsehoods to a sensible
man who strives to serve his Mas
ter, Christ, but that the Devil was
driven to such close quarters as to
/ be forced to distort our own best ar
guments, 30 as, in his judgment, to
fit his own side of the case. He
here complies falsehood after false
hood, and calls them facts, asking
good people to believe them, simply
because he says go, not supporting
statements by any evidence what
soever. The whole of it is simply
fabrication, begging the question
for the sake of votes in support of
his most powerful agency for the
destruction of human happiness
and human souls. l have very
much lower estimate of his craft
since reading it than before. But,
let US examine these statements, or
a few of them, so as to determine
the power of the argument.
This, for instance: "Neal Dow
was forced to admit that there is
better way of dealing with the evil
than by Prohibition"
Now, every enlightened reader
knows that Neal Dow believes in
"killing rattlesnake if you would
deal with it sensibly."
The British Medical Journal is
given as authority for the state
ment that "Total abstinence people
had the lowest, and moderate
drinkers the highest average life
tenure"
The whole weight of science,
backed by experience, as shown by
statistics, proves this to be bare.
faced lie, lacking every essential of
craft. But just listenl The very
first sentence of the writer's own
summing up is as follows, "The re-
suit is most unexpected" Unex-
pected to whom? Science, or the
friends of the Liquor Traffic? We
are driven to the honest conclusion
that it is the Devil who is surpris'
ed, to think that there are any In
bis camp silly enough to believe
any such stuff.
Again, "The number of distill-
cries in Georgia increased from 81
under license, to Is under Prohl-
bition."
Well, now! If that is the Dew
IFS idea of Prohibition, it is won
derfully strange indeed what he is
now ''croaking" about. By his own
argument Prohibition is his very
West friend.

mon sense proposition, that if you
take away from State a large pro-
portion of it's revenue, it must be
made up by an increase of taxes !;
if the liquor traffic is cultailed,
other property owners must be
taxed heavier"
Now, who does not know that the
liquor dealer gets back from his
customers ten times as much money
as he pays out for taxes?
But this beats all, ; Prohibition is
the father of commercial disaster"
This is news, to be surel We
have always heard from both the
great political parties, that some
monetary matter brought on "com-
mercial disaster" We never before
heard of a Commercial disaster"
coming upon the people because
they quit drinking liquor. 1t
would seem to US that, if this theory
is correct, every bank would hire
none but drunkards for their direc-
tors and cashiers; railroads would
never employ sober man; stock
dealers and Wholesale men would
advertise for drunken men to make
their business prosperous. All we
would then have to do would be to
keep it on hand, and see to it that
every employe, from President
down, used it freely.
But again; if the political econ
omists are correct, and the Devil
wrong, let US see how the matter
stands, considered from
The Standpoint of Revenue.
Our Government revenue, from
all sources, is a little less than five
hundred millions, and it is ad-
mitted that the liquor traffic pays
over two hundred millions in taxes,
which of course comes back to them
off of the dear (?) people; but the
whisky bill of tine United States, as
near as can be ascertained by the
Government records, is about ten
hundred millions of dollars. So,
now, take the two hundred millions
off of the five hundred millione,
leaving three hundred millions to
be yet added to the ten hundred
millions, making q sum of thirteen
hundred millions, by his own show
ing, that the people have to pay.
Now, if the people prohibit the Ii
quor traffic and have to pay out
FIVE hundred millions, commercial
disaster follows, by his argument (;
but if the liquor traffic is not dis
turbed, the people must pay out
thirteen hundred millions, and
prosperity is the result, and then
the dear CD people will not go into
the "abominable habit of opium
eating"
Now, these are only samples of
their arguments. We could go
through the whole list and show
precisely the same foolishncss. And
the Devil expects our American
people to believe it, and vote
against Prohibition If he can't
invent more ingenious talsehoods
than these to justify his heil.begot-
ten scheme to perpetuate his great
est ally, then it seems to us that his
cause is in very bad hands.

Two Newly Made Widows.

It is said that some of the chief railroads in the country employ special persons to in- form the bereaved family when an employe has been killed. Considering that every year a small army of men meet their death on the track, the statement is not incredible. An old railroad man at Reading, who has dis charged this painful office, gives the follow ing among other experiences:
 ''It was only few days ago that went to a home and found the wife chatting and laughing with a neighbours wife while she was at work among her rose bushes and flowers. She hadn't been married very long. I first asked whether her husband was at home She stared at me, became white as a piece of chalk, then shrieled and fell among the plants. l helped to carry her into the house.
 "'He's dead; my husband is dead. know he has been killedP
 "'Who told your I asked, when she re- vivcd.
 [" No one only thought so. Is it truei'
 "1t was easy then to finish my errand.
 "1 once called on 8 woman to tell her her husband had been killed by striking against an overhead bridge. This was three years ago. near Philadelphia The wife curled up her lip and replied:
 elf he has been killed, heaven has revenged me. He abused me long enough. He'll abuse no more women now'
 That was the easiest job in my line ever had. Five minutes later the woman was in mysteries and tears."-Boston Post.
