ouor manufacturer does not ply
his trade to rob the people. For
if we notice, ninety-nine per cent
of them are the first ones to dig |
down to help the poor, make our
laws and build our cities.
Now, Mr.. Cary has endeavored
to show you that the money spent
from license to be derived from
the open saloon would be an ever
lasting damnation to our little
city. I suppose if we should
have more lights in some spots OF
our city and better sidewalks, 1t
would be our city's ruin. He
would have you believe that the
anti-prohibitionist mostly is COM
posed of inveterate drinkers.
Now, if Mr.. Cary would look |
up and seek out this class of peo-
pie that he has endeavored to
have you believe by his refer
ences to the anti-prohibitionist,
and try and help them that are
weak, not by casting them aside,
but by teaching them to be moo
crate aud not hogs--a lecture at
the proper time, aud d little llq-
uor at the other, there would be
less drunkness and more hap
piness. This man would not be
hard drinking man under open
saloon regime, but has on the
other hand become a htbitual
drunkard. These are cold facts
which the ordinary prohibition
ist is not aware of, but as true as
:. any gospel written
!, Now as. to prohibition from a
!. financial stand point, the ground
~ has been thoroughly scovered.
V think in other articles which
have been written in these col
