IP On Prohibition The MAIN D/FFICULTY that advo- cates of Licence Law ve to contend with is THE IGNORANCE generally prevailing on the quttion. In spite of the most impressive essons to the con- trary, Prohibitiodests are .DOING THEIR BEST to *CREASE the USE of INTOXICANTP. The explanatio of this paradox is easily obtained. " The majority do not read or study out the question for them- -selves. They listen chiefly to advice given in sermons -and the preachers of these sermons generally assume that legislation can change customs, control appetites, and banish from our midst what is legally made, sold and imported. LEGISLATION NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL DO THIS. In the no- torious State of Maine, General Neal Dow, the father of Prohibitionists there, testified that he could show very fine residences owned by men who had AMASSED A FORTUNE SELLING RUM SINCE PROHIBITION CAME INTO FORCE. Evidence furnished by the highest authorities, can be given, almost ad infinitum, showing that in Maine Pro- hibition ha e signally failed to bring about the results desired by its advocates. Capital Paid Up $3,000,000. Reserve $3,7509000, 'Total Assets Over $43,000,000. Your Opportunity IF a y promising pro- pottaloo re submitted to you Lame pw, one that required a "Natie capital, would you be Tv a position to accept it, or Nvould you be forced to step back and allow Someone else to grasp your oae chance? There are few oppokuni- ties for the man with noth- ing, but at the door of the man with a bank account fortune knocks often. Start an aecount with this; bank. One dollar is , h. Add t� it regulata iy4isnd^yott will soon build up a substantial balance. • C. P. SMITH Metwager, Wingham Nothing short of "Rotten" rieaeribes the conditiens there. ONE EXAMPLE -In PORTLAND, Maine, under PRO- HIBITION the arrests for DRUNKEN. NESS in 188) were 43.44 par thousand. In 1893-39.14 per thousand, In MON» REAL. under LICENSE LA.W, 19.24 in 1889, and in 1893, 10.38, Will Praha, bitionists - will those who think of vot- ing for Scott Act SIMPLY PONDER OVER THESE FIGURES, and read, mark, learn and inwardly digest their import? A SEAPORT 01TY under PRORI131- TION in 13 pears varies ONLY from 43.44 to 39,14 in arrests for drunkenness -and mind you we are told "Prohibition prohibits"; and another SEAPORT OITY under LICENSE, during identi- cally the same period, GOES DOWN from 19.24 to 10.38. In Quebec during the same period -under LICENSE the figuses are 33.13 in 1880; down to 6.75 in 1893. Surely there is no ignorance so dense and so hard to dispel as the ignorance bred of fanaticism Respectfully, THE HURON COUNTY BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION. JOHN RANSFORD, President, Whf.
