THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
Against King Alcohol During
the Last Century.

The chronicle Of wonders, called the
history of the nineteenth century,
records victories of civilization trans
c,nding those Of the previous
I.lOO years taken together, and in its
long list Of moral triumphs the prog
ress of temperance ranks second only
to the abolition of the slave trai'c.
\ complete success of the prohibition
movement would reverse that sequence
of prestige.
The alcohol mania has proved far
more ruinous dclusion than the belief
in the Justice of the custom to enforce
the sorvitudc uf unciyiliIed races. For
one suicide caused by slavery, the
liquor passion has caused thousand.
The inhumnnities pcrpctratcd by the
taskmasters of helpless bondmcn are
surpassed by those which millions a.
women and children have suffered at
the hands of rum crazed relatives. The
social degradation Of slaves is more
than equaled by the social, moral,
