Lincoln on the Liquor Business.

Whether or not the world would
be vastly benefited by the total and
final Punishment from it of all in
toxicating drinks, seems to me not
now an open question. Three
fourths of mankind confess the
affirmative with their tongues;
and, | believe, all the rest acknowl-
edge it in their hearts. .
And when the victory shall be
complete-when there shall be
seither a slave nor a drunkard on
the earth-how proud the title of
that land which may truly claim
to be the birthplace and the cradle
Of both those revolutions that shall
have ended in that victory. How
nobly distinguished that people
who shall have planted and nqr-
tured to maturity both the politi-
cal and moral freedom of their
species. Abraham Lincoln, in a
speech delivered in Springfield,
ILL.,, Feb. %, 1912.

The Minneapolis Tribune" Re-
publican and anti-prohibition,
said:
We make the assertion unhesitatiugly!
There can be but one of two results.
either high license will be enacted and
the legal sale of liquor go on uninterrupt
edly In this State, or, as the natural out
growth Of a refusal. prohibition will fol-
low close on the heels Of such refusal.
The st. Paul { Mimi "Globs"
says:
The only chance for the defeat Of prohi-
bition Gn Dakota) is for the other side to
stand squarely by high license and make
an honest fight on that line, the field
might as well be abandoned to the Prohi-
tonists. 1t is immaterial whether high
license has intrinsic merit or not-the
popular temper makes it the only effect
i've barrier to legal exclusion. The activ'
ity and zeal of the radical element show
determined purpose, aud it will win il
the opposition does not display prudence
and tact. High license must be the word
if they do not want prohibition written
all over the constitution,
The testimony is uniform and
conclusive that the liquor men,
one and all, favor license as a
means to bar out prohibition. By
presenting it to the people as a
Temperance measure" they can
get the people to vote for it and
thus save the saloon from the one
enemy it breads, prohibition.
Now let us get the saloonkeep-
ers' views of Prohibition. The
"Wine and Spirit Circular" says
We are glad to see that ''high license
is coming into use instead of Prohibition
as d shibboleth for the teetotalers.

The Indifference of Christians.

When realize that the saloon
business is as lawful as the church,
the schools or any of our institu-
tions, l blush for my country.
The greatest difficulty in fighting
the liquor traffic is the fact that
the saloon keepers are live, active
men, full of energy, while the
average, temperance Christian is
utterly devoid of vigor and zeal in
his cause. The greatest regret of
my life has been to find how un-
certain a quantity are Christian
men on this liquor question. To
be a Christian ought to mean a
voting enemy of the liquor traffic.
1t seems almost impossible to get
men awake to the idea that they
owe something to their fellow man
who is slave to an appetite for
strong drink. = John G. Wooley

PIP 1O4)
What ! have said respecting and
against religion, | mean strictly tG
apply to the slave-holding religion
of this land, and with no possible
reference to Christianity proper;
for. between the Christianity Of
this land, and the Christianity of
Christ, l recognize the widest pos
sible difference, so wide, that to
receive the one as good, pure and
holy, is of necessity to reject the
other as bad, corrupt, and wicked.
To be the friend of the one is of
necessity to be the enemy of the
other. l love the pure. peaceable,
and impartial Christianity of
Christ; l therefore hate the cor
rupt, slave-holding, woman-whip-
ping, cradle-plundering, partial
and hypocritical Christianity of
the land. Indeed, | can see no
reason. but the most deceitful one,
for calling the religion of this land
Christianity. Hook upon it as the
climax of all misnomers, the bold
est of all frauds, and the grossest
of all libels. Never was there a
clearer case of stealing the livery
of the court of Heaven to serve the
devil in. | am filled with unutter-
able loathing when | contempla te
the religious pomp and show, to-
gether with the horrible inconsis-
tencies, which everywhere sur
round me. We have men-stealers
for ministers, women-stealers for
missionaries, and cradle-plunderers
for church members. The man
who wields the blood-clotted cow
skin during the week. fills the pull
pit on Sunday, and claims to be a
minister of the meek and lowly
Jesus. He who sells my sister for
purposes of prostitution, stands
fourth as the pious advocate of
purity. The man who robs me of
my earnings at the end of each
week, meets me as a class-leader
on Sunday morning, to show me
the way of life and the path of sal
walton y He who is
the religious advocate of marriage
robs whole millions of its sacred in
fuence, and leaves them to the
ravages of wholesale pollution.
The warm defender of the sa-
credness of the family relation, is
the same that scatters whole fami-
lies, sundering husbands and
wives, parents and children, sis
ters and brothers, leaving the hut
vacant and the hearth desolate.
We see the thief preaching against
theft, and the adulterer against
adultery. We have men sold to
build churches, women sold to
support the gospel, and babies
sold to purchase Bibles for the
poor heathen-all for the glory of
God and the good of souls. :
The dealers in the bodies and
souls of men erect their stand in
the presence of the pulpit; and
they mutually help each other;
The dealer gives his blood-stained
gold to support the pulpit; and
the pulpit in return covers his in
fernal business with the garb of
Christianity. Here we have re-
igion and robbery, the allies Of
each other, devils dressed in
angels robes, and hell presenting
the semblance of paradise.

Effect of Prohibition on Labor.

Will the money now spent to1
drink go into the channels of use,
full industry if the drink traffic is
destroyed? is a question often
raised. 1t is reasonable to sup.
pose that it will, but here is the
testimony of a paper that was
never committed to the policy Of
prohibition, the Atlanta, Ga,
Constitution" June 81, 1887,
after local prohibition had been in
effect in that city year:
Fifteen new stores containing
house-furnishing goods have been
started since prohibition went into
effect. These are doing well.
More furniture has been sold tG
mechanics and laboring men in
the last twelve months than in any
twelve months during the history
of the city. The manufacturing
establishments of the city have re-
ceived new life. A glass factory
has been built. A cotton seed oil
mill is being built, worth s125, 900.
All improvement companies with a
basis in real estate have seen their
stock doubled in value since the
election on prohibition.
''Stores in which the liquor trade
was conducted are not vacant, bu!
are now occupied by other lines of
trade. According to the real estate
men more laborers and men of
limited means are buying lots than
ever before. Rents are more
promptly paid than formerly.
More houses are rented by the
same number of families than
heretofore. Before prohibition,
sometimes as many as three fami-
lies would live in one house. The
heads of those families not now
spending their money for drink ara
each able to rent a house, thus us
ing three instead of one. Work
ingmen who formerly spent a great
part of their money for liquor now
spend it in food and clothes for
their families. The retail grocery
men sell more goods and collect
their bills better than ever before.
Thus they are able to settle moro
promptly with the wholesale men.
GA perceptible increase has been
noticed in the number of people
who ride on the street cars. Ac-
cording to the coal dealers, many
people bought coal and stored it
away last winter who have never
been known to do so before.
Others who had been accustomed
to buying two or three tons on
time, this last winter bought
seven or eight and paid cash for
it. A leading proprietor of mil,
hnery store said that he had sold
more hats and bonnets to laboring
men for their wives and daughters
than before in the history of his
business. Contractors say their
men do better work, and on Sat.
urday evenings, when they receive
their weeks 5 wages, spend the same
for -four, hams, drygoods, or other
necessary things for their families.
Thus they are in better spirits,
have more hope, and are not
inclined to strike and growl
about higher wages"
For similar testimony about
other places where prohibition has
been tried, see article on Benefits
of Prohibition" in the "Cyclopedia
of Temperance and Prohibition"
