What a License Is.

One of the lines on which educa-
ton must proceed now is that of the
responsibility of the Christian voter
for the rum trade and its results.
License is a permit: and, in case of
liquor, permit to do evil. Who
gives the permit? Without any
reasonable question, the voters, and
they are therefore responsible for the
results of the trade permitted.
That permit implies that a man
has no right to sell without it.
Then that right can be withheld,
and in the case before us should
never be given. But license is more
than permit, it is authority. If
authority does not carry moral re-
sponsibility with it, what does?
The sole authority to sell intoxicat-
ing drinks resides in the people. 1t
is wicked and punishable ignorance
for us to say we are not responsible
for the business we permit and
authorize. The sale of liquor for
drink purposes has no right on the
face of the earth, and therefore is
outside of any law in the universe.
The law permitting and authorizing
the drink trade is fiendish in its
wickedness.
The liquor seller is the agent of
the voters; the legislator who enacts
the law is the agent of the voter;
the government which executes the
will of the legislature-of the people
is the agent of the voter, and the
heaviest responsibility falls upon the
Christian voters of the state legalliz-
ing this terrible curse.
The late Horace Greeley said: "To
sell rum for livelihood is bad
enough, but for a whole community
to share the responsibility and guilt
of such a traffic seems a worse
bargain than that of Eve or Judas"
The law authorizing the rum traffic
is sinful; the traffic itself is sinful,
and The revenue accruing to the
municipality, the province and
dominion, is the price of sin.-HAM-

The Political Science Club of New
York, at its annual dinner recent
ly, discussed the question::
should the tariff be taken out of
politicsl" Mr.. Hendrix said that it
cost Europe less to rid itself of the
NapoleOnic scourge than it has cost
this country to reform the tariff by
politics. The speaker held that as a
political factor the tariff question
would forever remain unsolyed, as
what may be determined upon now
may be completely changed in two
years. AS long as unceI taiuty lasted
SO long would woTkmen be allowed To
labor 10y fits and starts. In New York,
Brooklyn and Jersey City, he said,
there are factory owners employing
472. 452 persons who wish reasonable
certainty regarding tariff and the in
dustTial policy, but cannot get it. The
speaker thought the tariff should be
devised according to fixed principles
and minor modification as trade cOndi-
lions dictate could be made by expert
official hands. Ellis Ill. Roberts, ex.
Assistant Treasurer of the United
States, contended that the tariff could
not be taken out of politics.

The Rhode Island Election---A Signal
and Significant Victory.

The Rhode Island Election---A Signal
and Significant Victory.
The election for state officers and
members of the legislature in Rhode
Island this month resulted in the
overwhelming defeat of the tariff
smashing democracy. The vote in
that state for a number of years has
been pretty evenly divided between
the two great parties and IA plurality
of 1000 either way was remarkable.
A year ago Gov. Brown did not
receive plurality, but at the election
this spring he receives plurality
of 5000, and the republican candidate
for secretary OF the state is elected by
a plurality of 10 900 in vote of So, 1000
which is the largest vote ever cast in
the state. A year ago the democrats
had majority of one in the Assembly;
in this years election they secure only
three members, but the republicans
have a majority of 80 in the Legisla-
t0fRs no 10 vi bAOob ACAhaA
able landslide. The result of the
election in the state must be inter
preted as an emphatic condemnation
of the democratic tariff policy as out
lined in the Wilson bill.
The population of Rhode Island is
peculiar in this, the proportion of the
agricultural TO the mechanical and
manufacturing classes is comparative
ly small. Taking the whole country,
the agricultural is more than double
the manufacturing and mechanical,
but in Rhode Island the agricultural
population numbers less than one
quarter If the manufacturing and
mechanical. The state is one vast
hive of manufacturing industries.
These industries feel the disturbing
effects of tariff agitation first OF any.
The threatened reductions in tariff
protection of these Industries close
the factories or reduce wages. Hence
the verdict of the voters in this cleo
ton is an unequivocal aud emphatic
denunciat ION of the Wilson Dill.
