TO GIVE YOU A COMPARISON
between the condition OF thinge In Iowa rs to
the saloons before 1884, when prohibition went
IN operation, and after Governor Boies took
the helm OF state In Iowa. Give me your Atten-
ton.
From J. 8. Lathrop, collector Of internal rev.
enue for the Northern District OF Iowa, going
back 20 the last full year before prohibition
went into effect, taxing the commissioners re-
ports for the year ending April Both, 1888 and
also take the commissioners re ports for the
year ending April Both, 1889, and we have the
following showing for the whole state of Iowa:
Special tax stamps Issued to retail liquor
dealers, April 30, 1888, 5,00l; for 1889, 2,75S A
decrease OF 2,243
Wholesale LIQUOR dealers. April 80, 1888, Sc;
for 1889, IS. A decrease of 81.
Retail dealers in malt liquors, April 80, 1888,
1888; for 1889, 1913. A decrease OF 80.
wholesale dealers in malt liquors. April 80,
1888, 81; for 1889, 50. A decrease Of II.
GOVERNOR BoIEs CAN wRIGGLR
but Will give him facts which he can address
his attention TO. Now, then, | want to coui-
pare the last year OF Governor Larrabee with
the first whole year OF Governor Boits and
will chow you what is the trouble take the
ground that the moment that Governor Boies
was elected as the chief executive of this stale,
the stock OF the saloons rose 81 0 per cent, and
fellows who had run away into the mountains
came back to re open their saloons and the cleo
tion OF Governor Boies was a signal to them
that they could have good time and have the
Democratic party and Its great leader, Boiep,
lead them 10 victory and protect them. give
you the Northern half of the state. Captain
Laihrop could not give me what they are for the
southern district Of Iowa. Governor Gears
collector can furnish IL TO him from bis records
Most OF these he got from the report Of the
commissioner OF internal revenue.
