extensive alterations in this store, that we hope will
help you when buying. It has not been the most
peasant thing to have carpenters hammering, plaster-

going on at the same time, but ;everything comes to an
end, and all the workmen have left. Everything is
in shape again, and we are

Prom a Woman's Standpoint
MB EDITOR—We have had a good deal of
writing for and against the coming plebis-
cite vote. 1f you have room I would like to
get in a few words. We often hear the
remark "If the women had the franchise
we would soon have probibititn," but eta
haven't it, and we have to abide by the de-
citjon of the men. I hope they will feel the
weight of their responsibility. The evils of
the traffic fall beayieet on women suer
children, who have not the power to relieve
themselves of its effects by voting it out.—
Sometimes when a woman expresses a wi-th
for the franchise, she is told that it is not
neoessar3- , as the man represents her at the
polls. If this be so the vote will carry with
an overwhelming majority. Every voter
will consider who he le voting for; not only
himself, but his mother, wife, sisters, and
daughters; yes, and the little boys who as
yet are classed with women and girls.
Perhape because I'm a woman I can't uu
derstand the case, but the arguments used
by the antis seen to me very flimsy. They
in all seriousness tell us that prohibition
won't prohibit. Now every woman knows
that in the household there is a great deal
of it, and if the mother neglects to enforce
it and thereby spoils the child, she not only
injures theohild but the cowmu lity also.-
I think if these wise objectors read their
bibles faithfully, they would find that it
was full of '•thou shalt" and "thou shalt
not," I have read a few books, and I never
read any that had as much prohibiti)n in
them as the bible.
Then that everlasting revenue that the
liquor makes for the government; one would
think that the country could not be run
without that eight million. If the liquor
business is such a money -making canoe, i,
let us have more of the kin l; license other
evils and go into money snaking on a lar.e
scale; pay oft' our national debt; get a fast
line of steamers; build a railway to the
Klondike, and make eteryboiy rich.
But of all the arguments used in favor of
wine drinking, those which have been used
by some in luoting the words and ants of
Jesus, are the worst and most damaging to
their cause. No man, not even these learn-
ed writers, can make me believe that the
Saviour would go to a happy wedding feast
and turn the water, which a wise and good
God made, into that which will make a de-
mon or a drivelling sot of a man, and which
might change that joyous marriage into a
debauch. Neither would He tell us to use
the so•called wine of the present day as an
emblem of his shed blood. Nor would He
say we would drink that stuff again new in
his father's kingdom. I'm sure that the
wine which the Saviour referred to is not
the artiole which can manufacture drunk-
ards at the rate of 3000 a year in Canada
alone, and then say "no drunkard snail in •
herit the kingdom of heaven."
MRS. H. ELFORD.
Diverging Points
To the Editor of the New Era,
Sin:—In the last issue of the NEW ERA
the Rev, Mr Greene, of Holmesville, quotes
the Hon. S. Fisher as saying at a prohibi•
tion convention "If you gain the plebiscite,
the liquor trade will be cru shed." This
same gentleman, (Hon. S. Fisher) has but
lately returned from England, where he
has been endeavoring to further the inter-
ests of Canada by setting forth the extent
and variety of resources, and in doing so,
among other things pointed out the suita-
bility of Canada as a wine graining coun-
try; and while referring to the large quan-
tity already made, said "Wine graining is
only in its infancy, but the Government
has resolved to do all it can to encourage
the industry." Now what I should like
would be for some one to reconcile these
two statements with each other, for I can
not understand how it is possible for the
Government to pass a law prohibiting the
manufacture of wine, and at the same
time do all it can to encourage the indus-
try. I should also bo very much pleased
to have an explanation of another state-
ment of the Hon. S. Fisher. When the
Plebiscite Bill was under discussion in the
House of Commons, in reply to'a question
by the Hon. G. E. Foster as to whether
the proposed prohibitory law would apply to
sweet or unfermented cider, he replied no,
the bill would only apply to hard or in-
toxicating cider. Now, I should like to
know if the manufacture of sweet aider is
allowed how is the existence of intoxicating
cider to be prevented. For, as every one
knows, there is no such thing as the manu-
facture of intoxicating aider, all that is
necessary is to allow the sweet cider to
stand for a very short period and it bo•
comes intoxicating of itself.
Another question. If the manufacture
of sweet cider is allowed because it has not
yet be,lome intoxicating, will not the same
reason apply to wine? It is no more in-
toxicating when first pressed from the
grape than is cider when first pressed
from the apple. So also with beer in the
first stages of its manufacture; also with
ale and indeed with all fermented liquors.
If the manufacture of all these is to be
permitted under the proposed new law, it
appears to me that "the poor drunkard"
will still have a pretty wide choice of pois-
ons with which to gratify hie depraved
appetite. Yours,
JOHN KEIINIGHAN
Benmiller, Sept. 18th, 1898.
Can Make Cider
To the Editor of the New Era.
DEAR SIR.—Some people think that in the
event of prohibition carrying they would
not be able to make apple -butter or cider
vinegar. Would you please explain just
how it would effect them in that respect, as
some think they could not make cider for
any purpose. Please explain fully. QIERIST.
[The plebiscite will not interfere with
the manufacture of sweet cider, cider vine-
gar or eider preserved without fermentation.
