The Police Magistrate for Huron wasappointed in INlay, 1887, and from that date to Mnroli 22nd, 1888, he has made the following convictions For First Offences, ... ,125 For Second Offences... 24 SCOTT ACT FINES, The amount paid into the county by the License (1 wu issioners and Police Magistrate is over $0,000 and the amount to the credit of the county, above the estimates demanded by the Commissioners for expenses, was in January last $1,470 anti has been since much increased. I5 TIIE ACT A F41LURE i Ten counties viz., Huron, Bruce, Dundas, Stormont, Glengarry, Norfolk, Oxford, Renfrew, Simcoe and Duffer - in, have had the Scott Act in force two years. Commitments in these ten Counties were as follows : In 1884, under license 211 In 1886, under Scott Act, only... 81 The following fourteen Counties, Durham, Northumberland, Elgin, Kent, Laulbton, • Lanark, Lennox, Addington, Leeds, Grenville, Ontario, Peterboro', Victoria and Wellington, have had the Scott Act in operation one year. The commitments for drunkenness in these fourteen counties. were as follows ; 00 41. The bitationiebt mettle ae. to the loss .of revenue is therefore false. Anti.Seettit4 say that in Enron the loss was $14,000. The answer is thet•not a single municipality in the county has increased its rate of taxa. tion o1r account of the license fees, and there has been an actual decrease in the county rate for the past 2 years. SUSTAIN TUE ACT, . Because liquor stglling and drunken- ness are national sins, and will not go unpunished, Because the aim of temperance legislation is to. elevate mankind. Because if we license tire liquor bus- iness we become a party to it and responsible for its evils. Because drinking habits are injuri- ous, first, last and always, and far reaching in their results. Because no "loss of revenue" ann. meet is worth anything compared with the lossof home, honor and happiness hereafter. Because the liquor business is made illegal under the provisions of the Act. Because the liquor traffic is respon- sible for three-fourths of the crime committed in the country. And because we share that responsi- bility if we vote for ri?peal of the Act. Vote against the Petition because the Petition is to repeal the Scott Act. In 1881.; under license.........501 In 1886, under Scott Act 900 There are fourteen counties in On- tario still under License. lu those, commitments for drunkenness have in- , creased as follows 3.n 1884, commitments for drunk- enness 2,248: In 1886, commitments for drunk- enness 2,314 In twenty-four counties and two cities under the Scott Act, in 1880, there were 1,940 commitments 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 reduc- tion of 860 under the Scott Act! Froin the Report of the Inspector of Prisons of Ontario for 1886, it ap- pears that in the Province of Ontario there are about one million people under license and about the same un- der the Scott Act. The million peo• pie under license in 1886 committed 7,923 crimes. The . million people under the Scott Act' committed,' in 1886, 1,940 .crimes- a difference in number of 5,988 ! Brussels.

He was named after Joseph 1 ��v Brant,: the Indian Chief and was in ITE IGA B, active service in .the rebellion times, • then gaining the rank of captain. He was a Conservative and a member of LESS LIQUOR USED. Liquor dealers contend that more liquor has been consumed under the Scott Act than under license. But the Inland Revenue Report, 1886 Ap- pendix A., P. 29 shows that 1,342,989 gallons of whiskey less were consumed in 1886• than the average for the five preceding years. And for the whole Dominion loss was consumed per head than the average for the last 20 years. The consumption of beer and ale was 21 per cent Less for 1886 than the average for the ten preceding years. The Ontario Prison report for 1887, pages 6 and 16 -Wentworth, includ- ing the city of Hamilton, under license committed. 373 to prison for druken- ness, while Elgin including the city of St. Thomas, under the Scott Act only committed 26. It is not those who are asking for a license law who are most anxious to sec drunkenness de- creased. We are bold that it cost the province last year $60,000 to enforce the Scott Act, in 29 counties over and 1lbovo, the fines collected. Bub the whole Provincial expenditure under the Li- cense law does not amount to :his 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 $1,470 up to January,1888, this present license year'v and that sum will bo greatly increased. It is also Said the loss in license fees in Ontario alone was about $200,000. On page 6 of License Report, by the Hon, the Provincial Secretary to the Lieutenant Governor for 1888 we find: Revenue in 188:5--6; $165,285.62 Revonne in 1886--7 $210,465.78 The report adds that this increase was caused by the Act 49, Vie.
