FoctsCo.icei'iiiliig Fines
The amount paid into the county
by the License Commissioners and
Police Magistrate is over $5,000
and the amount to the credit Of
the county, above the estimates
demanded by the, Commissioners
for expenses, was in January last
$1470, and has been since much
increased.
The Antis charge that the Inspectors and
Police Magistrate can manipulate the fines
to their own use. The following statement
of the working of the Board of Commission.
ere, completely refutes this:—The finances
are regulated by the Board of License Com-
missioners, as under . the License system.
Ver the purposes of enforcement this coun-
* ty is divided into three districts, East
West and South Huron, in each of which
there is a Board of three Commissioners ap-
pointed by the Government. At the begin-
ning of each license year, which commences
on the let of May, the Boards frame an esti-
mate of the expense of enforcement for the
year, which are submitted to the government
for their approval, and upon such approval
these estimates are placed before the County
Council. The sum required is paid into a
chartered bank to the credit of the License
Fund for each district, and no sum can be
paid out of it except by cheque signed by the
Chairman of the Board of Commissioners,
and countersigned by the Inspector. All
amounts for which cheques are issued are
first passed by the Board, and receive the ap-
proval of the Ontario Government, and must
be audited as other Provincial payments are.
No one person can draw a single cent from
these funds without observing these regula-
tions. The fines are paid to the Police Ma-
gistrate, just as other fines are paid to con-
victing magistrates all over the country. He
remits these fines to the County Treasurer,
and makes a return thereof, as other Magis-
trates do, to he Clerk of the Peace and also
to the Government.
Enforcement of the Act

•
Republished from the Scott Act Herald.
Those who are seeking the repeal of the
Scott Act have issued a sheet con airing
what they are pleased to 0611 "reasons"
why the intelligent electors of the county
should vote with Them. These reasons are
here given in full and immediately following
are the answers to them, vouched for as ,or -
teat in every particular. Ponder them well_
and then decide which side shall have your
influence and vote.
1 " The Scott Act is a failure and cannot
be enforced with benefit to the community."
Answer—The General Assembly of the
k'resbyterian Church of Canada, representing
k vast community over the whole Dominion,
after having carefully collected information
from the Session of each congregation,says:
" The law has resulted in an undoubted de-
crease of drunkenness, and in making the
liquor traffic more and more disreputable,
and in the lessening of crime, as testified by
many Judges and Grand Juries throughout
the land."
The General Conference of the Methodist
Church of Canada says :—" The law has
largely destroyed'tliewloke'd' treating cus-
tom ;" it has " decreased the consumption
of intoxicants," and consequently the
amount of "poverty ,drunkenness and crime."
From the Report of the Inspector of
Prisons of Ontario for 1886, it appears• that
in the Province of Ontario there are about
one million people under license and about
the same under the Scott Act. The million
people under license in 1886 committed
7,923 crimes. The million people under the
Scott Aot committed in 1886, 1,940 crimes—
a difference in number of 5,983! These facts
speak for themselves.
If the Scott Act does not decrease the sale
of liquor why is it that every hotel -keeper
is so anxious for its repeal ?
2 " It injures respectable hotels and draws
men to low places difficult of detection,
where liquors are adulterated and the com-
pany and associations are low and demoral-
izing."
Answer—The bar room with its intoxi-
cating liquors is not a respectable appendage
of any hotel. The bar with its treating
system tends to destroy all respectability,
and has ever been a demoralizing instithtion.
It is patent to every one that in the county
the violators of the Act are those who had
licenses under the License Law and:that
t'rese low places are only imaginary. If
respectable hotel -keepers?' know they exist
they should have so informed the authorities,
batt they have not done so because the state.
ment is untrue.
3. "It multiplies shebeens and encourages
bad whiskey, while it prevents the use of
lager and diminishes the use of other light
Some of those • opposed to the Act say
"It isnot enforced,and is thereforeno good."
People should bear in mind that there has
only been proper machinery for its enforce-
ment for about nine menthe. Nearly every
body is familiar with the difficulties that
really existed for the first two years after
t'le Act's adoption, Difficulties that 'the
Scott Act people were not responsible for.
But the Act has done good during the
short time that it has been enforced. Fo
many legal :difficulties and technicalities
had to be overccme that it took time and
hard work to accomplish this. Now the
machinery is in fair working order, and ac-
cording to the rules of fairplay, the Act should
receive a further three years' trial. The
Electors of Huron should for this reason
stand by the Act, the hands of those who
are charged with enforcing it should be
strengthened ;. legislation that will make the
Act better should be procured, and for no
such paltry reasons as are being advanced
should we go hack to a license system.
'To say an Act is imperfect be-
cause some officials do not enforce
it is equivalent to saying that the
Christian religion is a failure be-
cause unfaithful persons profess to
be Christians.
Is the law against forgery no
Food because officials charged with
its administration fail to stay the
hand of the forger?
Are the laws against murder and
larceny no'good>because there .are
murderers and thieves. '
REAS O NS
Why the Act Should be sustained
drinks,- which. were driving out strong li-
quors under the license law."
Answer —Does license prevent shebeens?
On their own testimony there are in Tor-
onto, under license, two shebeens to every
license. In N. Y. under license there are
4000 unlicensed places. Statistics prove that
where light, intoxicating drinks are sold, the
use of strong drinks is also greater than in
those places where there is prohibition in
both.
4. "It increases drunkenness in many
places."
Answer—The Inland Revenue Report,
1886, Appendix A., P 29, shows that 1,342,-
989 gallons of whiskey less were consumed
in 1886 than the average for the five preced-
ing years. And for the whole Dominion
the same report shows that, less was.consum-
ed per head than the average for the last 20
years. Is it probable that the men who are
clamoring fora license law are anxious to
decrease drunkenness?
5. "It increases the temptations of weak
young men, and by devolving sneaking, un-
manliness, quibbling, purjury 'and ill feeling
causes more immorality than it seeks to re-
move."
Answer --There is as much purjury in
enforcing the license laws, case for case, as
under the. Scott Act. It is not the Scott
Act but the liquor that . has demoralized
drinking men. The open treating under
license law invites temptation and de
velopes• unmanliness and perjury, both of
which, honest efforts to enforce law have
proved in 9rtier ceni has bean on'The ic7e
of the traffic. •
6. "It makes many public men and busi-
ness men hypocritical anis double-faced."
Answer—The statement is false—The
Scott Act does not make respectable and
law abiding business men, hypocritical and
double-faced. But the strong drink traffic
under license law, tries to throw a mantle of
respectability over these very traits of char-
acter. It smiles approvingly on its sons
when they show an aptitude in dark tricks.
Such a statement is a gross libel on our
business men and will be properly resented.
7 " It is grossly tyrannical, and allows a
partizan magistrate to convict without good
evidence and without, either jury or right of

men for this admission. Your traffic outs
off both hands and feet, body and soul.
12. "It robs men, whether law -breakers
or not, of property and living for selling
that which neither science nor Scripture de-
clares it wrong to use."
Answer—The churches ani science de-
olare this assertion false. It is the liquor
traffic that robs homes of parents, honor
and purity; the State of industry, wealth.
and the lives of multitudes of her citizens,
and of order, peace and morality; and the
church of her members. Every civilized
community that does not prohibit places the
traffic under the ban of a license.
13. "It prevents reasonable and more
hopeful methods of diminishing intemper-
ance in which many sensible people could
unite with others."
Answer—The only "reasonable" method
of diuiinfahinOnfai i'peralia+ "-I ptb-hibi-
tion— and the Scott Act is a local prohibi-
tory law. Temperance people are working
for prohibition, and, as a means to that end
use the Scott Act.
14 "It makes many barley growers hypo-
crites, and wheat growing is becoming un-
profitable, it injures the important barley
industry, cuts off revenue, and depletes the
treasury without any compensating good."
Answer—The barley grower is not re-
sponsible, directly or indirectly, for the uses
to which his grain is put; the Act has noth-
ing to do with wheat -growing, except that
if liquor were not manufactured and sold,
more people would be able to purchase flour
and the price of wheat would consequently
be advanced by the demand. The liquor
traffic is consequently a detriment to our
agricultural interests:
if the Act diminishes the revenue from
iquors it increases the revenue from other
more useful things, for which the money
all wasted on liquor, is now spent. Although
the sales of liquors so materially decreased
in Canada last year, the revenue was in-
creased, hence the argument is false.
1
15 " If the law against stealing is con-
stantly broken, though every one, including
the thief, thinks the law right, how can it
be possible to enforce a law which a large
proportion of the people, including many of
the best oitizens,regard as unjust, tyrannical
and wrong?"
Answer—Law breakers do not consider
a law that punishes them right, and nearly
all laws have lacked " moral support" when
first enacted, so that this objection has no
force, especially when it is remembered
! that law itself is an educator, and time
adds to its strength and brings its enforce-
ment'.
" No rogue e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law." •
16 " It cost the province last year $60,000
to enforce it in 29 counties,this was over and
above the fines collected. You had to pay
this."
•Answer—This- statement is misleading
and untrue. The whole Provincial expen-
diture under the License laws does not
amount to this sum. In every' Scott Act
county except one the fines were more
than sufficient to pay all expenses connected
with enforcing the Act. In Huron there
was a surplus of $1470 up to January in this
present license year, and that sum will be
greatly increased.
17 "The loss in license fees was about
$200,000, so that you lost in Ontario alone
about one quarter of a million."
Answer- See page 6 of License Report
by the Hon. the Provincial Secretary to the
Lieutenant Governor for 1888.
Revenue in 188.5.6, $165,285.62.
Revenue in 1886-7, $216,455.78.
The Report adds that this increase was
caused • by the Act 49, Vic Cap 39, which
imposes fees for the exclusive benefit of the
Province over and above all other fees,statu-
tory or municipal. The statement
made, as to the loss of revenue is,
therefore, positively false.
.18 "ln._1Iuron.the_loss was $14,000 and
you had to pay this in extra taxes."
Answer—Not a single municipality in
the county has increased its rate of taxation
on account of the loss of the license fees,and
there has been an actual decrease in the
county rate for the past two years.
Because liquor selling anddrunk-
enness are national sins, and will
not go unpunished.
Because the aim of temperance
legislation is to elevate mankind.
Because if we license the liquor
business we become a party to it
and responsible for its evils.
Because drinking habits are in-
jurious, first, last and always, and
'far-reaching in their results.
Because no "loss of revenue„ ar-
gunient is worth anything compar-
edwith the loss of home, honor
and happiness hereafter.
Because t1ie liquor business •is
made illegal .raider the provisions
of"the Act.
Because the liquor traffic is re-
sponsible for three-fourths of the
crime c011llllitte(1 in the country.
And because we share that re-
sponsibility it' we vote for repeal
of the Act.

Is the Scott Act a Failure or a Success? Read the Following Factll
Compiled from the Latest (Ontario Golrernment Report.
1. Ten counties, viz., Bruce, Dufferin, Dundas, Stormont, Glengarry,
Huron, Norfolk, Oxford, Renfrew and Simooe, have had the Scott Act in
force two years. Commitments in those Ten Counties were as follows: ---
In 188.4, under license . • 211
In 1886, under Scott Act...... 81
2. The following fourteen Counties, Durham, Northumberland, Elgin,
Kent, Lambton, Lanark, Lennox, Addington, Leeds, Grenville, •Ontario,
Peterborough, Victoria, and Wellington, have had,the Scott Act in opera-
tion one year. The commitments for drunkenness in these fourteen counties
were as follows:—
In 1884, under license ... 5Q1
In 1886, under Scott Act 200 qt
There are fourteen counties in Ontario still under License. In those,
commitments for drunkenness have increased:—
In 1884, commitments for drunkenness , . , ... 2,248
2,314
Increase 66
3. Has the Scott Act reduced other crimes? Yes. In twenty-four
counties and two cities under the Scott Act, in 1886, there were 1,940 com-
mitments for all crimes. In 1884, the inhabitants of the Same twenty-four
counties and two cities under license had 2,806 commitments for all crimes
—a reduction of 866 under the Scott Act !
1n 1886,
" it "
.4. In the Province' Of Ontario there are about one million people under'
license and about the same under the Scott Act. The million people under
license in 1886, committed 7,923 crimes. The million people under Scott
Act committed, in 1886. 1,940 crimes— a difference in number of 5,983!
These facts speak for themselves.
5. Is there more liquor made and consumed+ now than under License?
Whiskey men say, Yes. What are the facts?
1,342,989 gallons of whiskey less were taken out of bond for consump-
tion in 1886 than the average taken out for the five preceding years. The
consumption of beer and ale, according to the Blue Book, was twenty -ane
percent less for 1880 than the average for the ten preceding years. The
people can't drink more if they get less. Mark this.
In order to -get rid of the Scott Act the liquor men are now crying out
for High License. But high license does not alter the moral character of
the traffic, nor does it diminish the amount of drinking. After seven years
trial of a $1,000 license Metz at; Bros., chief brewers and malsters, Omaha,
Nebraska, under date of January 20th, 1888, assure their brethren through-
out the United States that, High License Does not Lessen the Consump-
tion of Liquor or in any way Injure the Liquor Business."
Ontario Prisons report for 1887, pages 6 and 16,—\Ventworth, includ.
ing the City of Hamilton, under license committed 373 to prison for drunk-
enness. While Elgin, including the City of St. Thomas, under the r5cott Act
only committed 25.
Prisons report for 1887, page 6, under license during 1878, 1879, 1880,
1881 the county of I-Ialton paid $2,085 to the poor. During 188:3, 1884, 1885
and 1886, under Scott Act, it only cost $502.

z
Unquestionable Testimony
At a recent meeting of the Presbytery of
Maitland, among other resolutions passed
concerning the Scott Act, were the following:
"In rural districts the traffic is in many
places almost, and in some, entirely sup-
pressed.
"In villages and towns treating is no long-
er practised to anything like the extent to
which it was under license.
"The respectability of the traffic has de-
parted.
"The weight of responsibility for the
crimes of this baneful traffic is removed from
the heads and consciences of Christian peo-
ple, and leaves the violators of the law alone
responsible before God and man."
The ministers and laymen of the Presby-
terian Church, who comprise this Presby-
tery are well known throughout this county
and the testimony from them is unimpeach-
able. Hut -on Presbytery, at its March meet-
ing, passed'"'the following, among other reso-
lutions:
"The committee recommend that this
Presbytery renew its testimony in favor of
the Scot -t Act, as a step in the right direc-
tion, and exhort all under its jurisdiction
actively to support it, especially in view of
the fact that a petition far its repeal in this
county is likely to be, within a short time,
submitted to the electors.
"The Committee note with pleasure that,
although the. enforcement of the Act has
been ih no part of the county entirely satin•

places, an improvement in this respect.

A Terrible Argument.
Rev. P. G. Robertson states that some
time ago, when the great liquor deputation
which went down -to Ottawa to ask for the
repeal of the Scott Act, were returning, he
happened to be in a car where there were
several of the "Delegates." Three of them
were opposite to him, on seats facing each
other. They were talking very loudly—
they "were going to kick the Scott Act
higher than the moon!" they were going to,
do a great many things: "The government
were going to repeal the Scott Act."
An old man sat behind them, and fre-
quently put his hand up to his ear, to catch
their words- After a while he came for-
ward and addressed them. "Gentlemen,"
said he, "I heard you speaking of the county
of Halton. Gentlemen I live in the county
of Halton, and when the vote was taken for
the Scott Act, I went alp to the poll and
voted against it; and my three sons followed
me, and they all voted against it! Gentle-
men, when the. vote on the Repeal was tak-
en, a few months ago, I went up to the poll
and voted against the Repeal! And two of
my sons followed me and voted against the
Repeal. Gentlemen, you will wonder why
my other son did not vote ? Gentlemen, he
couldn't!, He was dead. He was in a
drunkard's grave! -
"Gentlemen!" concluded the old man,
he tears now coursing fast down his cheeks,
"When one of you has ason in.a drunkard's
grave, you will think and'speak of the Scott
Act with more respect!" and then went
quietly hack to his seat. The "Delegates"
said nothing then and not much afterward.
The Antis claim that High License is i
more effective as a temperance measure than
any other, but let us see what are the facts
concerning High License:—
Hon W. W. Hardy, of Nebraska. the lath-
er of high license, recently said, "There has
been no improvement in our saloons. Gain•
Wing and prostitution go hand in hand. ,
Iligh license has done waning toward wak-
ing up temperance sentiment. Saloon
keepers violate the law just as th" ' always
have-."
The late IIon. J. 11. !'inch, who at one
time endorsed High License. publicly de-
clared that'" it was the greatest mistake of
i'his life."
The Chicago Champion. the official organ
of the liquor ti-nilc,says : "HMI License
noes not reddce the amount of liquor con-
, sumed."
1L' 1'. 1;. Per. president of tl,e Willo\v
Springs, Distilling Co., Omaha, Neb., said:
" High license does not lint our btlyitless.
High License acts as a bar against prohibi-
tion, i do not think high license lessens the
quantity of liquor used.•'
The following figures are official and show
the so called success of high license in Chi•
cage. In 1583, the last year of low license,
the number of arrests was 33,800 ; the num-
ber in 1587, after four years of high license,
was 45,400, an increase of :18 per cent. The
growth of population during the sameperiod,
taking 'the very highest figures claimed, was
not over 25 per cent. In 1882 Chicago had
38 breweries, now there are 41. In that
year she consumed 872,A000 barrels of beer;
last year, 1,684,1117, a*i increase of 97 per
cent. Under low license in Chicago, liquor
cost 5 cents a glass, but under high license it
was reduced to 3 cents.
The amount of liquor cnn8nmed annually
in Chicago alone, under high license, costs
at the rate of $30.70 for every man, woman
ani child in that city.
