. Now for my trip through Maine. In
every town I visited I got a chink, and
all 'I.. waa'nted, for the asking,. and any
experience leads me to the belief that
it is easily obtained:in every place in
Maine. We, in Boston, look' on every
one from that benighted• state with
contempt. It makes toe' very tired to
read such utter nonsense regarding the
subject which some of your correspon-
dents write you. :What right has a
man who probably never was out of
gun shot of Clinton, to try and legis-'
late for men of the world. The infor-
mation theyhave got has been through
misstatements of Neal Dow, who I
denounce as a humbug, for I can bring
men who will swear he has liquor it
his house to -day, and any man who
says Maine is free from liquor is crazy.
It is the deadest state in the Union,
and a bye, word amongst its sister
States, as the head centre of hypocrisy
and immorality. Now you in Ontario,
a country which can compare with
any in the. world for its people, busi-
ness integrity and farms, you want to
bring yourselves down to the level of
the degraded State of Maine. Ask.
yourselves this question, what need
have you of such a rotten law, one
which will degrade your people and
make them law .breakers and cause
them to lose their self'respect. Com-
pare ()Linton of to -day to20 years past,

Let me arge upon you to pause be-
fore you take this fatal step. • It will
never be enforced, it will only deprive
you of revenue. make your citizens
drink a bad whiskey in lieu of good
wholesome beer, and ruin trade, for
there is no denying it, that where pro-
hibition exists, stagnation of trade
goes hand in hand. 1 cannot explain
why, but such is the case. For argu-
ment sake, say Seaforth has a license
and Clinton has none—Aman whether
he be a farmer at Brucefield or a com-
mercial traveller will make for Sea -
forth to spend his money every time.
Around Boston, where many towns
had no license, this year,after giving it
a good trial, have nearly all gone for
license. In conclusion let me say this,
and I 'say it advisedly. Business in
Canada is about as bad as it can be.
Let prohibition become a law and. you.
will utterly -destroy what there -is left.
Stand up for rights and your beloved
country and don't give it over into the
hands •of a lot of ignorant fanatics
whose pretended work for theirlMaster
is a Shibboleth. Yours truly, ...
