The Temperance go,estion.
t MB. Editor—Sir: I wrote an arti le
I anent the doings of the Presbytery of
Huron on the ternPerance question so 11 e
Itirne age, wherein I found fault wi h
that body for desiring , to hinder peo • le
;from the Lord's table on account of
itheir 000upation in life, howevenhon st
and respectable they might be in eve
other respect. I assert again that t e
lioensed victuallers calling is as hon st
and legitimate and needful as any oth:r
business or calling in this country. 'e
want places of public accommodatioe•
where man and beast can feed and re t,
and every person knows that no m n
,will get a license except he is both co
petent and respectable. He has te p y
high license to the Government to all w
him to carry on his business. He h a
to keep good order and good aocom e °-
dation for the public. He pays tax :s
on all his real and personal proper y.
He is well watched by inspectors and
temperance spies, and the commissio
ars are all temperance men. You c n
see at a glance that the publicans e
pretty well sifted before they get a
license, and pretty well watched at 11
times afterwards. The revenue deriv d
from the whole business in liqu r
amounts to about seven million doll s
in the whole Dominion. It is quite
fair in its operation, the man that u:es
the article pays the duty. Our revere•d
friends are clamoring for prohibition to
make theircongregations moral and
ligious. They seem to think that o
be done by arbitrary Acts of Pari
ment. They don't care, although dir
taxation comes to -morrow. They

salaries, ranging from $700 to $3,

never reached the Pole so far. I
