ting the license of whiskey. Thus
is the story told:
The prohibition experiment has
probably never had a fairer test,
nor test under more favorable
conditions than in Iowa. 1t is an
agricultural State with no large
cities; the largest is Des MONIES,
which in 1890 had 50,093 in
habitants. The population is
mainly Puritan by descent, with
inherited Puritan habits and tradi-
tions. Public sentiment is, and
has been from an early day,
strongly opposed to intemperancs.
None Of the surrounding, States,
with the possible exception of Mis-
souri,, has had 30 small a percent
age of foreign immigrants. In
consequence of the decision by the
Supreme Court that local option
under the Constitution is barred,
every voter has been forced to de-
clare himsef for general license or
for prohibition. The Prohibition.
have, therefor been able
to swell the number OF
their nominal adherents by repre-
senting that opposition to prohibi-
ton meant subseryiency to the
saloon. The cause of prohibition
has had, besides, the inestimable
practical advantage of an alliance,
offensive and defensive, with the
political party in power. More
than that, it was for years the
dominant faction in that party.

ing it's legislation in opposition to
the liquor interests. 1t held this
vantage ground for ten years, a
period long enough to demonstrate

was defeat.

tion of the Legislature. Under the
Constitution they are not allowed
to license them, but accomplish
the same purpose by levying an
annual tax upon persons engaged
in the liquor business, prohibiting
prosecutions cf those paying the
tax. To this miserable expedient
have the people of this State been
forced to rid themselves from the
incubus of freewhiskey under the
name of prohibition May South
Carolina ever he relieved from
the necessity of seeking such u
refuge.

IN CONCLUSION.

Is it any wonder, then, after
their investigation of the miser-
able farce of prohibition in other
State that the agents of the COM
mittes of fifty were disgusted with
prohibition and came to South
Carolina expecting nothing from
the dispensary law. With some
criticisms, however, after this
investigation, they summed up
the situation as follows:
"Whilo the unbiased observer
cannot fail to be impressed by
the change wrought by a system
which has closed the saloons and
nearly suppressed the liquor traffic,
thousands remain blind to them.
The political opponents of the dis
pesary authorities most often deny
that aught good has been accom-
plised. The Prohibitionists
will frequently not even
admit that drunkenness has been
reduced. The system never had
nor can have any affiliations with
radical temperance refyrmers. -
