You do injustice to this illu,iriou,
statesman and Baptist deacon. After
quot ing the humiliating, cringing
words of Brother Brown to the whisky
power, you say, ",hcre are plenty such

Brown well as member of our great
dehberative Baptist bodies. He isn
devout Christian and princely in his
libcrality.
In makirg this severe criticism YOU
forget the amazing weakness of human
nature,especlally of political aspilants,
and the almost omnipotent power of
the whisky monopoly. Why, King
Anheuser-Buschc can take his viceger-
ent Earl Warwick into crowd of po-
litlcal aspirants aud say as he comes
to them, Here Is my dog, put my col
lar on him and TIL him to howl Per
sonsl liberty, true Blue Democracy
and save the Republican party, lust
as squeeze MS tall ." And three
four hs of thCm viii crouch down like
little spaniels end bark and how as
their master commands Now aud
then you VIII find a politician, or
rather | should say statesman like
cur great Coke Old Brains" is the

thought he would wear their collar
or Ike our grand Reagan or MaXey or
Wei bora or Lanham and other con-
ing men, who can defy the blood
demon and refuse t. wear the collar
or do the dirty work of dirty whisky
monopoly.
But alas, our dear oh Deacon
Brown had not The nerve to defy this
almost omnipOtent power OF whisky.
W Risky is to-day tae greatest mo
nOpCly On earth. 1t can control more
money and more political tricks cr-
than al y other power On this planet
There is no creed it wi not profess
lhcre is no party, no university, no
church, no state it will not etpouse to
carry out its hclIish purposes of
pillaging and plundering .And pilfer-

The grand infamous edict of whisky
is to "promOte all the men to office
who favor our interests, and put down
every man, democrat, republican,
greenbacker, saint or sinner, jew or
gentle, who does not work tor us"
Our great Coke refused to PROSTATE
himself humbly enough and black
guard all the preachers and women
and hence he is 10 be sacrificed. Bul
poor Mills took the dirty Job aud
dared to tel that princely Chri. tiau
GENT man and pulpit orator, Dr. b.
ii. Carroll, there are preachers
enough Of your sort 30 thick i'll hen
