Wirrmow, D, D. -- Dear 8ir,-1 know that in, Canada you 1011 having a great campaign for Prohibition. I pray God to give you abundant success, not only for the good of Canada, but because of the help which we shall find in it. 1 hear that Prof. lxoldwwin 'i Smith has said in ' the papers that Prohibition is a failure in ,)Plaine. I tope there is some tnistake in it -that he did not say it, because it is not true. 'Perhaps you can some- how send word to hien from ine, that I hope that report of his saying so is a mistake. I am far from saying or thinking that Mr. Smith has intentionally said a thing that is in no sense true, touch- ing a public question of supreme line portance to the country and the people. If he sold it, please tell him from me, that he is u,istaken-it is not true ; On the contrary, the Elaine Le►v from the beginuing til 1851 to this day, has been a great, a wonderful success, though Maine is not yet entirely de- livered from the cousequeuced, as it will be s,,me day out very tar in the future. Goldwin Smith, of all men, should not stake his honor and reputation for veracity upon a statment relating to a public question of fur greater iw- portanceto the prosperity of the country than any other, without being assured of its truth. 0 Now, why do I feel myself justified in saying that prohibition is a great success in Maine? 1. Maine, before the Maine Law, was the poorest State in the Union, spending in strong drink the entire valuation of all its poverty of every kind in every period of twenty years There was no State in the Union con- suming more drink than Maine, in proportion to its population, while now there aro no people in the Anglo-Sax- on world consuming so little. 2. Maine 19 now one of the most prosperous States in the onion. Mr: Blaine, in the Garfield campaign, iu a great meeting in City Hall, Portland, said it was the most prosperous State in the Union. Directly and indirect- ly, it saves more than twenty-four million dollars annually, which, but for Prohinition, would be wasted iu drink as in tate old time. 3 There were many distilleries in of young roan by t Maine,some of which were in Portland l mgcustomto their and two. breweries ; now there is not ane oo,'d says one remaining and has not been for genetsen, who b+wa � n many years, At the same time greatchop, 5100 ba 'efne quantities of West India rum were grant that the e imported -coming to us by the cargo, ua aCdant n Canadians may many cargoes every year.
