At the Prohibition Assembly Mt
Moundsvllle.
FORCI8LE PRESENTATION MADE
OF tho Political Prohibition ISsuc-A
Fine Programme Announced for
To,Day-saturday win ba TArmOrs'
Day, and There should DO u Large
Attendance,

The sessions OF the Prohibition AS.
sembly on tho Moundsville grounds
continue to increase in interest, and
each days programme seems il po'si-
BILE better than that OF tho day before.
Y~eatorday's exercises opened with do
votiOua led by Mira. Jennie p. slaaon.
At 1880 there was a symposium on
1.-THE responsibilities OF Fathers in the
Homo Training Of Childron," led by
,Mru. NJ. NJ, Love, Of Grafton.
"Womau's Place in tho Church" was
discussed by Mrs. Anna Q, Montfort, Of
Cairo. In the afternoon Volney b.
Cushing gave another talk on prohibl'
|tion, and last night was taken up by a
concert by tho English hand bell %rIngera.
Yesterdays weather was perfect aud
the attendance corrospondingly large,
on MONDAY night,
DR.. Gushing, Of Maine, spoke on "Thc
Liquor Traffic"
There Is no one instrument Of mis-.
rule that is mor powerful that that OF
the liquor traffic, Wendell PHILIPPE
onca said that a mayor could not be
elected in Boston, unless aided by tho
saloon. This influence Of the saloon IL
growing, because the tratie represents
a greater amount oil business than ever
before tho cilioa OF the countries whore
the liquor business Ia most fully en-
tronched are the ones that arc growing
most rapidly. Immigration has fallen
oil the last year, for tho same reason,
no doubt that business has fallen on'
whatever that may DO.
There comes a time m tho lito OF tho
drinking man when he must break tho
black bottle or the black bottle will
break him. AZ with tho individual 30
with tho nation. The timo 10 coming,
and that soou, when tho American ma.
ton must break the liquor traffic, or 1t
will break tho nation. This must DO the
inevitable result.
Ho spoke Of the great amount OF tho
cauRtFy's wealth getting into tho hands
ofthe few. Daniel Webster said q freq
government cannot long exist where
such a great amount Of the wealth 10 in
the hands Of the iow. Forty thousand
people to-day own hall tho wealth OF
our country. Ho said ho did not be-
lieye that destruction awaits our coun'
try, for he thinks that there is too much
good common sense in this American
nation to allow these things to 60 to
such u longth. There arc in this coun.
try to-day 10000 saloons, aud II each OF
them controls ten votes there are 2,4OO,.
600 votes to DO turned over to any
measure that tho corporations OF the
country wish passed, II they hand over
enough money to the candidates and
they to the voters. The Democratic
party Ia tho friend oil tho saloon and Of
corporations. The Democratic party
then cannot destroy tho saloon. The
Republican party cannot do II from the
fact that it must have the votes oil those
that aro opposed to tue saloon and
those that favor il.
Tho p%arpetualion OF either the Demo-
cratic or Republican party means tho
p%orpetuation OF the saloon and tho
spoiiatioH OF the common people by cor
porations and trusts. What thon must
We do? Must wo suffer on under the
one or the other OF these partIcs ?-no!
There must be another party tho Fro.
hibition party must DO supported, and
II it becomes triumphant tho saloon
ZOOS, and corporations aud truSts die.
There Is tompornnce sentiment enough
in tho country, il properly organized, TO
sweep the saloons cut OF existence at
once. Tho speaker closed with tho pro.
diction that the time is in tho near tut.
uro when both tho old parties will DO OF
tho past, and when a new party undOr
now leaders, lot tho name DO what it
may, will bring in tho 0 order Of
things and tho land will be redeemed,
