The Scott Act business is getting to be
a serious matter, said a gentleman to
Tl,. 11 orifi yeaterlay ; serious fur the
liquor trade and for mime others as well.
The rote in Halton and the agitation in
the other counties, he continued, has just
about raised the question 10 an issue be-
tween prohibition anti anti -prohibition.
To talk of fighting 0 out on smaller lines
is to ignore two mighty fosses that are
now antagonizing the one the other. This
straight tight between prohibition and
anti -prohibition is modified by two
things : first, the tight between the pro-
vincial legislatures and the federal legis-
lature as to which controls the liquor
traffic ; second, by the relation of the two
political parties to temperance legislation
like the Scott Act.
As to this last first : the Seat Act was
passed by the Reform Ooeernment 4
Mr. Mackenzie, and more or leas Re-
formers are bound to defund it. The
Conseryatiee arty have never committed
themselves to It : in fact 0 is to them
that the opponents of the law now look
for relief front what they call its harsh
effect. Now take a step further and
consider the cause I first mentioned as
modifying the prohibition fight, namely,
the tight between the Dominion and the
Pruvinces asto which controls the liquor
trade. And still tm a step further and
suppose the Dominion gains this tight in
the long run. The liquor business will
be declared a part of trade and commerce,
and the Government (Sir John's. will
take 0 under their protection. Would
you then be surpnsed to see his Gdrern-
ment take a position someth[nt like this:
we never passed the Scott Act ; we take
taxes from liquor wherewith tc help sup-
port the Government ; in consideration
of the money this business yields us we
are bound to protect it -protect it at
least until a straight issue has been voted
on by the people of Canada as a whole
whether prohibition shall obtain or not ;
antllstill further this : that as the Gov-
ernment has legalized the business an far,
has taken large sums from it, it is only
just and equitable that compensation
should be made to the trade for wiping
out a business in which they have sunk
all their means and to carry on which
they hare paid heavy license fees.
Minei.,l don't say this is what isiotame
place ; 0 u however the direction in
which thintts are tending, and they are
at least my own views. in a word, i am
in faros of this : first settle where the
jurisdiction is ; next go to the country
on an issue of prohibition with compen-
sation. This will be the straight tight
and a short and economical one. To fight
0 out as an issue between prohibition
withcut compensttion as against the con-
tinuance of the traffic will be a long,
bitter and costly struggle. Time enters
ince, my ides 0 compensation as much as
money i may ss well tell you I ani in
favor of 1erohihition with compensation,
the compensation to take the form of a
moderate allowance in money to ell in the
thole, and a certain number of years to
ref out of the business and to turn the
capital they have suck in it into striae
other channel.
[The above being the se tend article of

The great Liberal gatheriug held in
Toronto in Tuesday last was the largest
political demonstration ever held in
Canada Every county in Ontario was
represented, and amongst the foremost
was glorious old Huron, which for tae
past 13 years has sent *solid Reform
representation to the legislative halls of
Outerio. Fully 500 staunch Iteformers
?mai our county attended to welcome
home Hon. Oliver Mowat, of whom 300
'marched in the procession.
From early morning in the city the
streets were thrunged with people, every
second person wearing a badge. The
early trains brought in delegations from
all parts of the country, who mingled
with the throng and added to the jam,
until it was scarce p ssibl*,Jto move along
the streets. Then could not have been
less than 60,000 strangers in the city.
Mr. Mowat's trtlin arrived shortly af-
ter eleven, and as the arrangements for
the procession were not quite completed
he was spirited away upstairs in the sta-
tion, while Manager Wragge, ti Maya(r
McMurrich and other prominent politi-
cians guarded the approach and kept the
crowd In order. At length everythirg
was put in shape, and
THE CHAMPION
of Ontario's rights appeared. As he
stepped from the station he was greeted
with a ringing cheer -that cheer never
died away uutil the procession reached
the Queen's park. It was a cheer two
miles long. a cheer one hundred tht:u-
sand throat power strew.
The proolgress of Mr. Mowat from the
Falls right up to the Queen's park was a
continued ovation. At St. Catharines
and at Hamilton he was feted. At the
latter city a magnificent reception was
given him. But 0 was in the procession
op Yonee street in Toronto that he was
most honored. One end of the line was
ie the Queens park at the platform be-
fore the tail end had got in motion. That
is a distance of two miles. Most of the
men were four deep and inclose column.
Several thousands were delayed by the
trains and did not arrive inn time to take
part in the march. The procession was
sequently interspersed with banner.,
and well marked by bands of music.
Members of parliament and leading men
from all the municipalities walked be-
hind their respective flags. There were
men front Bruce and Glengarry, from
Laiubtou and Renfrew, front Lincoln
and Muskoka, from Huron and Fron-
tenac. Mr. Mowat as he rode
up Yonge street escorted by a yeomen
guard of young men from East York was
cheered continually by the double line of
people who occupied the sidewalks, and
by the proceesioniste who formed in open
eider to let him and the prominent
members of his party pas through.
