question, especially what Is the Diff
ference between the Democratic and
Republican ideas of tariff, compared
with the liguor traffic. Take it ina
cold, financial point of view and how
is it On an average, every dollar in
the United States passes through the
saloons once in Is months. Compared
with this,
THE TARIFF IS BABY,
a Tom Thumb baby at that. Every
dollar spent in drink, n billion year,
is worse than thrown away. Annual
ly, not less than
100000 MEN IN AMERICA ARE KILLED BY
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC,
and yet the tariff is the dominant is
sue Three hundred thousand homes
are utterly ruined, the nurseries Of our
! future citizenship, and the tariff is the
dominant issuc! The liquor traffic is
AN ORGANIZED REBELLION
in this government to rule 1t in the
interest of gambling, lewdness, Sab
bath breaking and all dcbauchery,
and yet the tariff is the dominant is
sue This vast immoral conspiracy
within our government is in the hands
| of aliens and enemies to law and order,
and yet the tariff is the dominant is
sue! Every city in the country, with
the fewest exceptions, is in the hands
of the
SALOON CONSPIRACY AGAINST LAW,
aud yet we must pledge fealty to this
rebel clan in order to get possible
reduction on tariff!
10000 WOMEN STAND DEFENsELEss
before us with hands uplifted in ap-
peal for all that women love most, and
and the News tells them to wait till
we get reduction on tariff! Christian
men see the ruin wrought in the man
hood of the country, and they are told
to help the party that pledges its sup
port to this Mnlocli of crime, till we
settle the tariff question!
The tariff is wrong, as it is laid. very
wrong; but it is nothing to the LIQUOR
traffic, and
NO CANDID MAN CAN FACE THE FACTS
and deny that from every considcra-
tion of craftsmanship. whether from
the financial standpoint or from the
standpoint of the mOraliSt, or philan-
ing to see his country great in the
strength of n0bler manhood and wo-
manhood, or the Christian, looking to
the immortal destiny of men, no less
than to their present peace and hap
any and every stand
point the
LIQUOR TRAFFIC Is THE OVER SHADOwING
ISSUE
before the American people TODAY.
And party that pledges itself to the
support of this monopoly ought to 60
down beneath the universal reproba-
tion of all good men. When Christians
can put from them every considera-
tion of humanity and morality-when
they can consent to share the respon-
sibility of the waste, the death of its
100000 victims each year, its desola-
tions of 5OO,0 homes. the ruin of un-
numbered children, the destruction of
all good government in cities-when n
Christian man can conscientlously
BECOME A PARTNER IN THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
he may vote for the party pledged to
uphold it. My Judgment is, that
every man who holds humanity and
to do with the National Democratic
party what the good people in Louis-
lana did with the Lottery wing of the
Democratic party in that State
smash it.
BISHOP GALLOWAY SAID TEN YEARS AGO
in the Prohibition convention in
jackson, "The party that espouses
the cause of the liquor traffic had as

The time has come for the national
Democratic party to have its papers
made out
ITS PLEDGE TO THE LIQUOR MONOPOLY
ought to drive every Prohibitionist ont
of its ranks.
l have not sought to array the
churches (as charged) against the
Democratic party. The churches are
necessarily against the liquor traffic,
and in obedience to the saloon bosses
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ARRAYED ITSELF
AGAINST THE CHURCHES.

preacher, have gotten along this far,
without the advice, as to my ministe-
rial duties, of
SALOON RUNNERS AND OF EDITORS
whose brightest ideas of liberty are
that it comes headed mp in barrels,
and will struggle on in my old way.
Many ealamities have befallen me in
this life, but Il merciful Providence
has spared me the affliction of being
praised by the brotherhood of the ing.
Every word that have said of the
Democratic party is true. / am sorry
it is true. i have voted with it from
early manhood, but when l must vote
to enthrone the liquor traffic in this
nation or quit party, know what
to do. There is no use blinking the
fact,
THE MAN WHO VOTES THE DEMOCRATIC
| TICKET VOTES LIQUOR TICKET
aud must share the crimes of the Ii
quor traffic. | know that party is
one of the chief American deities,
but
THE CHRISTIANS GOD
is in the heavens and he is
A GOD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Let every man look the facts in the
face and vote accordingly.
