Tendency to overstep the Basic Bounds

7. is we'll known that there have always been
those amongst us who wish to enlarge the powers
of the General Government, and experience would
seen, 70 indicate that there is a tendency on the
part of this Government to overstep the boundaries
marked out for it by the Constitution.
It's legitimate authority is abundantly sufficient
for all the purposes for which it was created and
IFS powers being expressly enumerated, there can
be no justification for claiming anything beyond
them.
Every attempt TO exercise power beyond THESE
limits should be promptly and firmly opposed, Tor
one evil example will lead to other measures still
more mischievous and if the principle of construc-
tive powers or supposed advantages or temporary
circumstances shall ever be permitted to justify
the assumption Of power not gwen by the Con-
stitution. the General Government will before long
absorb all the powers of legislation, and you Will
have in effect but one consolidated government.
From the extent Of country, its diversified
interests different pursuits, and different habits, 1t
is too obvious for argument that single consoli-
dated government would be wholly inadequate to
watch over and protect its interests; and every
friend of our free institutions should be always
prepared to maintain unimpaired and in full Vgor
the rights and sovereignty of the States and TO
confine the action of the General Government
strictly to the sphere of its appropriate duties

HOW NOT TO DO 1T

Raleigh suggestions that there will be an ava

pure guesses but if they are correct then the ad-

course that will destroy It.
IL the emphasis in this general bill is to be laid
upon control there is no way to get 1t in wild
rush for the polls The election itself is not going
to furnish the mastery over the liquor evil. One
of the aphorisms of the controllers is that you can
not legslate morals into the people. Well let those
who accept such sentiment remember it when they

OUR NATIONAL LIQUOR BILL

Bert II. Davis, writing in the January Allied
Youth, says that combining best estimates on the
subject the American people are now spending at
the rate of nearly $4,000 100000 year for liquor
For 1885 the proportion was one-ffteenth of the
national income spent. He says: "Put in another
way, the years net income from farming was al
most Offset by the amount turned over to the 81
cohol trade for legal and illegal drinks. Those pro-
portions viii differ somewhat for 1886, on which
the figures are not yet in but the 1885 estimates
give you the idea. If the $5,00O,0O0,0OO figure is
about right, consider further that it liquor
cost per family of about s125 year."
According to 1885 estimates Mr.. Davis says that
the liquor industry collects about six dollars from
the public for every dollar that is turned back in
taxes. In the fiscal year the Federal Government
took in little more than 100000 900 in taxes
on the liquor business State and local governments
took in about $125,OO0, O0O.-Exchange.
