gracefully putting their victims
out of their worldly misfortunes.
You will never stop murder in
this country until you put high
license upon it, and let a few men
do all the killing. Bat my
friends, all irony aside, you see
that If rum-selling is right we all
ought TO have the right; and if 1t
is wrong, FIVE million dollars paid
down in hard cash for one license
ought to purchase no immunity.
High license is
ANTI -CosTsIoN-sENsE.
You know very well one busi-
ness has no right to despoil other
business. A manutacturer-I
have the authority for this from a
gentleman who sits IN this audi
ence-a manufacturer went down
South and established himself in
Georgia. Somebody asked him
why he built his establishment
there. He said, "Because they
Ivoted to have no license hele.'
That honest manufacturer knew
what you and / ought to know,
that the, ,liquor-trafic is in antagon-
ism with every other business. If
the millions of dollars which 60
into that business went for lawful
and healthful styles Of business,
there would come to the agricul-
tural and manufacturing and COM
mercial interests OF this country
a boom of prosperity a hundred
, land fifty per cent. greater than
we have ever heard.
