FROM GENERAL CHAMBERL AINE
EX-GOVERNOR OF MAINE

EA-NOf EhINOR OF' MAINE
Brunswick, Maine, June 3rd, 1872.
Sir,-Colonel Elliot has shown to
US your request for certificate from
US as to the condition of the liquor
traffic in Maine, under the operation
OF the Maine Law-the certificate to
be sent to England.
The declaration made by MANY per.
sons that the Maine Law is inopera.
tive, and that liquors are sold freely
and in large quantities in this State.
is not true. The liquor traffic has
been greatly depressed and diminished
here and throughout the State, and in
many places has been entirely swept
away. The law is as we'll executed.
generally, in the State as other Grim.
inal laws are.
Many persons think that there is
not onetenth SO much liquor sold in
the State as there was formerly.
While we prefer not to certify to any
particular degree Of repression Of tho
trane, we say without reserve THAT
n liquors are sold at all, II is in very
small quantities compared with the
old times. and in secret way, as 9TH
or unlawful things are done.

mutton az the liquor trafic in the
State Of Maine and particularly in
this city, as the result Of the adop
ton of tho policy Of prohibition. we
have to say that the traffic has fallen
on very largely. In relation to that
there cannot possibly be any doubt.
Many persons with the best means
of Judging believe that the liquor
trade now is not one tenth as large
as it was formerly. We do not know
but such an opinion is correct, but we
content ourselves with saying that
the diminution of the trade is very
great, and the favourable effects Of
the policy of prohibition are manifest
to the most casual observer.

Dover, N. H., May 81, 1872.
In answer to your inquiry, have to
say, that in the course of my duty
as an Internal Revenue officer.
have become thoroughly acquainted
with the state and extent of the H.
quor traffic in Maine, and have no
hesitation in saying that the beer
trade is not more than 1 percent of
what l remember 1t to have been.
and the trade in distilled liquors ia
not more than 10 percent of what 1t
was formerly
The enforcement of the Prohibitorv
Law has pretty thoroughly suppressed
the liquor traffic in this city. Where
liquor is sold at all, 1t is done secret

Numerous Testimonials From

Most Heartily Commend the Present
Maine ProhIbItory Law, and Un-
hesitatinqIy Declare 1t Has Created
Temperance Sentiment Which Is
Marvellous

The following sentiments are here

Washington, D. c., May 29th, 1872.
My dear Sir,-Your favour of the
18th instant. containing an inquiry as
to the effect of the Maine Liquor Law
In restraining the sale of liquors in
our State, etc., is before me; and in
reply, while l am unable to state any
exact percentage of decrease in the
business, l can and do, from my
own personal observation, unhesitat-
ingly affirm that the consumption of
Intoxicating liquors in Maine is not
today one-fourth SO great as it was
twenty years ago; that, in the coun-
try portions of the State, the sale and
use have almost entirely ceased; that
the law Of itself, under a vigorous en-.
forcement Of its provisions, has Great
ed temperance sentiment which is
marvellous, and to which opposition
is powerless. In my opinion our re-
markable temperance reform of to-
day is the legitimate child of the law.
With profound gratitude for your
earnest and persistent efforts in the
promotion Of this cause, l am, very
respectfully, your obedient servant.
WIN. P. FRYE, M. c. of Maine,

We are satisfied that there is much
