Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1893-01-26
GConcluded.l

When Mr.. Gladstone brought for
ward what is called the Newcastle
program, that is to say, the program
which he was to present to the coun.
try, and to which he first gave utter
ance at Newcastle, he for the first
time Incorporated in that political
utterance the plank Of temperance
reform; and why did he do SO? Have
we looked upon Mr.. Gladstone
whom for one love and admire as
loyalty as any woman in England
have we looked upon Mr.. Gladstone
as great temperance reformer !
Certainly not. Mr.. Gladstone has
been eloquent upon many reforms,
but upon the temperance question
he has been universally silent. Mr..
Gladstone, sometime back, gave us
a bill that he called the Grocers'
Licensing Bill, which ! maintain
has done more to ruin the women OF
England than any other bill that has
ever been passed through the House
Of Commons. He empowered gro
GERS at that time to sell wine and
beers, and the women of England
who up to then were comparative
iy sober people, were thus enabled
to procure, in a quiet, respectable
way, that which has been until this
present day their ruin; and thou
sands of women have bought drink
of their grocers, and had it placed
on the family bill as tea and coffee,
who would never have been seen in
side a saloon. But in spite of Mr.
Gladstore's delinquency on all these
questions, in spite Of the many
times in which he has tripped on
temperance reform, Mr. Gladstone
came out and pronounced himself
strongly in favor of all that could
tend to reform on this great subject.
You know that whenever people do
better, we always forgive them the
past, and when Mr.. Gladstone, at
this last election, came out in this
character, we looked upon it very
much as the judge did when the
Irish jury came forward and said,
my Lord, we wish to say that we
find that the man who stole the
horse is not guilty"
The reason that temperance reform
was incorporated in the Liberal pro-
gram was not because the hearts OF
those Liberal leaders were bursting
with a great desire to liberate Eng
land from her greatest evil. am

optimist as that. The reason that

let them DO otherwise because tne
hearts of the working classes were
set upon reform; because all over
the land Populations of working
men met the candidates for election,
and insisted that they should pledge
themselves to this reform, and that
was the reason we obtained it. The
measure to which they are pledged
is one which we believe will even
tually get prohibition for England.
We have, as you know, no divided
governments we have not the ad.
vantage of being able to have sam
pies of Legislation. We are obliged
to pass a law which shall be so
framed that it shall affect every part
of our country at the same time, but
we are bringing forward bill
which shall grant the privilege to
districts to have prohibition where
they so desire it.
When | want to feel that l.am
really braced up, that this great
fight is going forward, that we have
victory before us, | always buy the
papers Of the liquor dealers, and
when l see the complimentary tones
in which they speak of the temper
ance reformers, and especially of
your humble servant, to whom they
did the honor of giving the name,
the "Modern Joan of Arc" | feel
my spirits rise visibly, and as | Of
ten travel long distances to speak
at those different political meetings,
am accustomed to pore over those
papers in order to get inspiration
for the evening. / never am more
glad than when we get the goats
and sheep well separated, for be-
lieve that the only time when right
is likely to triumph is when we
have so weeded our political parties
that we are perfectly, clearly sure
on which side we are likely to find
those whom we are interested in
placing.
Liberal women at our great annu-
al convention, in Difference to Mr..
GIadstone's age, in Difference to all
that he has been as leader to the
English people, agreed that we
would not make woman'S suffrage a
test question at the next election.
In spite of this, when the discussion
came before the House of Commons,
the speeches were such as woLll
gladden. the hearts of all the women
here present, The matter was no
longer treated as a question to be
ridiculed and scoffed at. 1t was
treated as one of the most serious
questions of the day, and on either
side magnificent speeches were
made in favor of giving women the
vote. But that discussion was one

slider that we are not far off from
having gained great victory.
1t is right that England should
lead the way upon sucn question
as that. 1t is right that the mother
should show the daughter what is
the right and best way to act in
such great and grand crisis, and |
sincerely trust that the time may
come when | shall be able to an
nounce to an American audience
that the women of England have
the full ballot. 1t is needed in this
land. 1t is needed far more in my
own. In a nation in which one of
the principal papers that has hither-
to supported the liquor traffic can
bring out series Of articles called,
"England's Shame in which the
drunkenness Of English women is
set out in manner that would break
the heart of almost every reader, it
is time that the women of my land
should rise up and say, eve will
have placed in our hands that which
can protect us from this ever-en-
croaching evil. We will have the
power granted to us to say that our
daughters shall be kept in the purity
and the bloom Of maidenhood; that
our young men shall be sent out
safe from the toll and the snare that
has dragged them down to perdition
so long" 1t is time that the wo-
men of the nation should go out be-
yond the garden gate, and should
be able with the encircling love to
be all that their hearts long to be to
those whom they have given to this
world that they should be allowed
to protect those children for whom
they have gone into the great Geth-
semane Of pain. and whom they
have given to be men and women
