clarcd that there was no State in tho
Onion whcro moro liquor was con-
sumed in proportion to population
than in Maine prior to tho passago Of
the prohibitory law. 1t was then ono
Of tho poorest States, and under pro,
hibition it has become ono Of the most
prosperous, largely tho result Of saw
ings by tho people from the discon
tinuance of tho liquor traffic. He
said it was quiet within tho mark to
say that not ono twentieth as much

State rs was sold by tho saloons bo.
foro this law was passed. Portland,

two broweries, while many car
goes Of rum were brought every year
from the West Indies, and DOW liquor
Is sold thoro on Il worry small scale,
the quantity not hundredth part Of
what it WAS in tho oldon time. His
estimate was that thero is Il saving Of
S24,O0O,00O annually, which goes to
increase tho prosperity Of tho masses,
and he declared that it is far within
tho truth to say that $; 100000

OF the law. This ls the testimony of
man who spent tho best ychrs Of
his life even down to extreme old ago
in advocating cause that he knew
was beneficial IN moral, religious,

whole generation has grown up there
without being witnesses to tho effects
