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.
