lam aware there is a pref
udice against any man en-
gagged in the manufacture of
alcohol. | believe that from
the time it issues from the
coiled, and poisonous worm
in to the distillery until it
empties into the hell Of death
dishonor and crime, that it
demoralizes everybody that
touches it from its source to
where it ends. | do not be-
lieve anybody can contem-
plate the subject without be-
coming prejudiced against
the liquor crime.
All we have to do gentle
men is to think ofthe wrecks
on either bank of the strenm
OF death; Of the suicides, OF
the insanity, of. the poverty,
Of the ignorance, OF the des-
titution, of the little children
tugging at the faded and wea
ry breasts OF weeping and
despairing wives, asking for
bread, OF the talented men OF
genius it has wrecked, the
men struggling with magma
ry serpents, produced by this
devilish thing; and when you
think OF the jails, the aims
houses, Of the asylums, OF
the prisons, of the scaffOlds,
upon either bank, l do not
wonder that every thought
full man is prejudiced against
this stuff called alcohol.
Intemperance cuts down
youth in its vigor, manhood
in it's strength and age in it's
weakness. Breaks thefathers
heart, bereaves the darling
mother, extinguishes natur-
al affection, grasses coniugal
love, blots out filial attach
ments, blights parental hope
and brings down mourning
age in sorrow to the grave.
Tt produces weakness, not
strength, sickness not
health, death not life.
It makes wives widows,
children orphans; fathers
fiends and all of them paup-
ers and beggars. Feeds
rheumatism, nurses gout,
welcomes epidemics, invites
cholera, imports pestilence
and embraces consumption,

ness, misery and crime. Il
