Gotham Clings to the Saloon.

The liquor question never more prominent
than in the Greater New York campaign. Every
candidate and party declared his and its position
upon it. Tammany denounced the Raines liquor law
and demandeda liberal excise law. The Republican
platform proposed that the character of the liquor
law and Of it's enforcement be determined by local op
tion and the will of the executives. Seth Low
thought that liquor law should take into account
the cosmopolitan character of the city. He threw
out tempting bait for the German vote and received
the endorsement of the German American Reform
Union, numbering 100000 which stands for personal
liberty and opposes temperance instruction in the
public schools. Personal liberty had a prominent
place in the Henry George platform The candidate
declared himself only concerned that the traffic
should be conducted in orderly manner. The
Prohibitonists demanded the utter overthrow of the
saloon.

Mckinley Heard the Prohibition Gospel


On Thanksgiving Day Rev. Hugh J. Johnson, Mr.
McKinleys pastor, preached sermon in the hearing
of the President, which, it is safe to say, he will
remember for many day. Here is specimen:

society is to protect itself against whatever endan
gers it's best interests The liquor traffic is
ganized conspiracy against the home and the state;
and must wage the bitterest against this

obligarchy has not only entrenched itself behind le-
gislation but has laid it's hand upon the very
of political power so that from the primary
to the national convention it conspires to control
both parties in the state. The day is coming when
every rightthnking citizen shall lift up his hand to
heaven and that the rum traffic shall exist
longer.
It is shown from the Internal Revenue reports for
the year 1893 that 81 OSO 600 spent liquor
during the year ending June 30 1898. Prof. George
B. Waldron the New York statistician of The Illus
trated American and author of the Handbook of
Currency and Wealth. shows from the census re-
ports that if this invested in the
facture of the 20 leading necessaries of e it would
give employment to 1649,5S6 men in the manufac-
ture alone, to say nothing of the SALE AS the last
reports only 3O2, ,457 employed directly

of the liquor business and the investment of the
liquor capital in other enterprises would give employ

sides Professor Wadron does not take into consid-
Grafton the employed in the sale of liquor in

comparison would doubtless make a worse showing
for the liquor business.
