and scheming Micawbers? Are you
aware of the fact that at the Presi-
Dental election of 1884 this little
nucleus of cold-water proselytes had
swollen to such proportions as to hold
the balance of power, and by throwing
into the election urns something like
$4,000 votes actually decided the con-
test between Blaine and Cleveland?
If you would read your papers, you
would keep posted and almost alarmed
at the slow but constant active and
dangerous development of this Shiny
venomous reptile; this Prohibition
Anaconda, which ever seeks to wind
it's gigantic coils around the body of
the liquor traffic, closer and tighter,
and unless stopped in it's deadly work,
will yet squeeze the life out of you,
crush your bones into a pulpy mass,
and, fattened on your carcasses, will
raise it's head triumphantly, yes, vim
dictively and threateningly, over your
distilleries, your breweries, and your
warehouses;

THE PROHIBITION PARTY.
BY Henry w. Wilbur.


WHAT THE PROHIBITION PAR
TY IS.-The Prohibition party is an
organization of men who believe that
the saloon is curse to this country,
and ought to be prohibited by law.
The saloon is the enemy of labor, of
capital, of morals, of the home, OF
good government, of pure politics; in
fact, the enemy of everything that is
good. There is only one method given
us whereby we can inform the govern
ment that we are opposed to the
saloon-through the ballot box.
Can we do so by voting the Demo
cratic ticket? Every sane man in this
country knows that the Democratic
party stands for license first, last and
all the time. Therefore, a vote for the
Democratic ticket is vote for license
and against prohibition.
Can we express our sentiments on
the saloon question by voting the Re-
publican ticket? The Republican par
ty stands committed to the legaliza-
ton of the saloon under system of
high license. Therefore, vote for
this party is a vote for license and for
the saloon.
But vote for the Prohibition party
is against the saloon every time and
the government is officially informed
of the voters position.
1t is absurd for man to claim that
he favors prohibition so long as he
officially tells the government that he
is in favor of license. A man who
votes with saloonkeepers and the bit
ter opponents of prohibition, is GER
tainly not Prohibitionist in any
sense of the word. The Prohibition
party welcomes into it's ranks all who
believe that the saloon should be abol-
ished by law.
WHAT THE PROHIBITION PAR.
TY is NOT.-The Prohibition party is
not temperance society where every
member must sign the total absti.
nence pledge. There are drinking
men who vote the Prohibition ticket at
every election.
The Prohibition party is not a reli.
gious society. Infidels have just as
much right in the party as preachers
The Prohibition party is not a bal
ance-of-power party, mere mugwump
floating weight on the political see
saw to compel the election of "good
men" to Office.
The Prohibition party is not organ
lied to simply defeat the Republican
or Democratic parties as such.
The Prohibition party is not organ
lied to make men good by law nor to
carry on moral suasion campaign.

BEFORE AND AFTER TAKING.
(From the Swanton Courier)

Not so very long ago the st. Adams
Messenger opposed the prohibitory law
on the ground that it permitted the man
of means to stock his cellar with all man
had but the price of a single drink was
deprived of the opportunity to quench his
thirst.
Now the Messenger says that Vermont
don't want amy saloons. II advocates a
license law which will permit the sale of
liquor by hotels to guests and by restaur-
ants with meals and stops there. The ques-
ton is how much better off is the poor
man under this kind of law than he is un-
der prohibition. The Messenger evidently
desires that the opportunity to take a
drink when 1t is wanted be still confined
to the man with money.
Another little Inconsistency is the atti
tude OF the Messenger before and after
election The Messenger before placed the
names OF the nominees of the republican
State convention at the head of its editor
ial columns and gave them such support
as it did.
Since the election the Messenger has
sai1:
1.-THE nominating convention at Montpelier
never changed the color of the history of
the preceding six months or more and the
Messenger, for one, would not stultify it
self by proclaiming that it did not believe
the charges of corruption and Votc-buy-
ing when its own pages bore record to the
contrary. And so it kept quiet and let the
candidate do all the denying that he
thought was necessary"
Now if the Messenger was thoroughly
honest and believed, as it says it did, that
there had been corruption on the part Of
the republican nominees it was its plain
duty to do all in its power to defeat them
either by exposing this corruption or by
supporting some other candidate whom 1t
did not believe had used corrupt methods.
But the Messenger did not do this, but al
lowed itself to be counted a supporter OF
the republican ticket which of course
would not have been the case had it real
~ believed the charges Of corruption.
And so the Messenger, as a republican
newspaper, owned by a man who has re-
ceivcd the highest honors In the gift OF
chat party, is to be Censured If it did not
do its level best to insure the success of
the republican ticket, If its faint hearted
support cost the ticket a single vote the
Messenger has been remiss in it's duty.
And yet it says with evident pride, and
all the denying he thought was neces-
sary."
So the Messenger stands to-day as in
consistent as it was before the nominal
ing convention. If it believed there had
been corruption it was its plain duty as
q newspaper to defeat the man guilty OF
II. If it did not believe it then its duty
was to do all in its power TO elect the re-
publican ticket 1t did neither, but ran up
the party flag and kept quiet

to the voices from the West, and line
on his policy may be gathered from his
action of yesterday when he made public
letter received from a bank in the Mis-

state that there was no scarcity of money
IN that region, and that the reports that
the West was drawing on New York for
