U. COLUMN. (CONDUCTED BY WINGHAlt 13RANCII,) PROHIBITION fUEs'1.'ION.. A REPLY TO REV.DR. GRANT'S LETTERS Frain Montreal We:kly lihtnoss. SIR:,—Will you kindly allow mo space for a 'few remarks on Dr. Grant's recent communication on the above subject. The doctor occupies a position of commanding influence among the writers, thinkers and educationists of this Dominion. Ills views on any great public question are well worthy of the host careful consideration. I confess to a feeling of hesitancy in taking up•my pen in opposition to the views of such a man. It is to me a pleasure to number him amongst my personal friends ; and I have nothing in m f heart towards .him but the purest affection. Whilst thousands of tavern -keepers all over this Do- minion will rejoice over the position he takes, thousand of godly ministers and devoted Christian laymen will just as heartily deplore it. I have deep and strong conviction that the learned prineipal is alto- gether astray in his conclusions with regard to the whiskey business in the State of Maine, Next to Chris- tianity itself the greatest benediction that bee ever cume to the State of Maine has been its prohibition of the liquor traffic. It must be admitted that the Maine law has not aceo n-- plished all that might be desired. There is no law in existence, humin or 'divine, which has completely destroyed the evil against which it was directed. It wc'uid be easy to fill a volume with well authenticated facts, bear- ing directly on the question of pro- hibition in Maine --facts which demonstrate in the most decisive manger the benefits which have resulted from the enactment of this law. I propose to place before your readers (in as few words as possible) some of the facts to which I refer. EDUCATIOIT. Anything which contributes to the development of mind—the culture and training o? the youth of a nation must be regarded as a blessing. - No I man would respond more heartily to that statement than my, friend, Prineipal Grant. The State of Maine 1 stands up in the front rank—it takes the precedence of every State in the American Union in the matter of education. It has a common I NET' AND uIvER PILLS !school fund of f_rty four millions of They are absolutely pure and healihfill.

ELTON'S UMPS - there were wine fourteen distilleries and two large b(•ewertesin full blast. Today there is not a distillery nor a brewery in existence in the state. At that time there was not a bank ing institution in .iaine. There are now sixty-four national banks, be sides the savings hanks. From the latest available returns we find that Maine has eighty-one dollars per bead On deposit in the savings banks. Canada has forty five dol lars per head. In onr Dominion we have some two hundred and eighty million dollars of f'ederat debt, and two hundred and twenty five million dollars of mortgage liabilities, not including our provincial and muni- cipal indebtedness, at the lowest estimate a hundred and ten dollars per head of our populatiion. The aggregate indebtedness of the State of Maine doe:, not amount to thirty. four dollars per head of its popu Wien. The late census of the. United States shows that Maine bas the largest percentage of real estate owners of any state in the Union, and the smallest percentage of mortgage liabilities. It is true Maine is not a paradise so far es the fertility of its soil and the wealth of its re.ourees is concerned. The prohibitory law has been the chief factor in its abnormal success, It wary be .that bribery has some- , times occurred in the political life of , Maine, lout wry htwe read of men' elected to parliament in Canada and .tftewards unseated for bribery, and aman . ood t}f theat that. g' y in Muell capital is made out of the fact that the percentage of arrests for drunkenness is higher in some of the .c'it'ies of Maine than in some cities of Ontario. The explanation is easy. We do not arrest one in ten of the drunkards in' our streets in Ontario. In Maine they promptly lodge them behind the burs. And then we glorify ourselves over our superior sobriety. SMITOOLXNG. The do:;tor tells u3 that under our license laws in Canada there is a large amount of smuggling --that our revenue last year was defrauded ( eight to extent of elr,ht hundrefl tho •• j sand dollars. And he also tells us that there is some smuggling. done under the'prohibitory law in Maine. He is correct in his statements. There is, however, this difference; In Can- ada we do our smuggling by the shipload. In Maine it is chiefly done in their coat pockets, or in a box of tea with ahalf dozen bottles of brandy in it. There is this further dis- tinction, our license law throws open anabundant market for the distribution of the smuggled CRIMIP. goods. The Maine law deprives the In closing hiscommunication Dr, smuggler of his chief customers by by prohibiting the retail sale. If we Grant quotes a few sentences from a report of lllessrs. Eliot, Low and had prohibition in Canada we Carter. In this report we have a 'terrible arraignment of the con- comitant evils of prohibitory legis- lation in Maine.' In that quotation It is stated that 'the liquor traffic being very profitable has been able to corrupt the lower courts, the police administration, and even the , electorate itself. The facts scarcely justify this last assertion. The electorate of Maine has held with unflinching tenacity to its pro hibitory law for nearly fifty years. And in the last great struggle to. in- corporate it as a part of the cell stitution of the state it was carried by a larger majority than had ever been given before. The electorate has evidently stood firmly by the principle of prohibition. If we, are to receive the testimony of. those three gentlemen from Harvard,Colum bis and New ork e Y , then the people of Maine must be a generatio. of outlaws, pet jtu'ers and rebels—a community of unmitigatea by pocrites. It is a rare thing to meetivith such a mass of sweeping invective. Indeed, so dreadful is the picture that Dr. Grant so'emnly asks the question, 'Who would not rather halve the drinking customs as they were fifty years ago ib Ontario, than such a horrible state of things, corrupting society at its fountain heads?' •We pause for a moment to take breath, the teachings of this letter tame upon us a great. surprise. We have read and heard and seen much of the damning effects of whiskey upot' moral character. And yet, if we render he teachings of this letter than we Canadians can d , for them. these gentlemen, there is an over - I pay deference to the sweeping whelming mass of evidence to prove ' majorities by which they themselves that the liquor traffic is the prolific source—the very breeding ground of crime. ./ It would be an easy task to place over against the testmonv of those three gentlemen, the testimony of hundreds of highly respectable Christian gentlemen, governors, marshals, judges, magistrates and clergymen. We have, indeed, one grand chorus of testimony from the wisest and the best citizens of Maine to the (fleet that the law has been a benefit and a blessing to the state. The Royal Commission in the Suite of Maine discovered this one int - portant fact, ' that Maine has the lowest ratio of convicts in its peni- tentiary of any of the states of the Union, with the exception of Wyom- ing.' I quote those words from their report, page 78. (See apendix 79) declare In favor of the prohibitory law. ROYAL COMMISSION. The , Canadian Royal Commission examined eighty •eight with sses in the State of Maine. They were very nearly unaniinous in their testimony :on one point, viz: that the law had !driven out the traffic in the rural districts.

There is just as much nourishment in a pound of skimmilk at a tem- perature of zero as there is in a pound of milk at 90 degrees, but the calf or the pig w11 fail to 'get the same amount out of the frozen milk as it will out of the warm milk, simply because its digestive ap- paratus is not built for the purpose of getting nourishment out of ice. Now why not start to turn over a new leaf and feed the skimmilk so as to get all out of it that there is in it? What is the oto of letting anything go to waste that can be aovided, even if wheat is a dollar? Save all we can. If 'we had a hole in our trouser's pocket and every day a penny dropped out, how long would it be before we had that hole sewed up? There are dozens of holes on the farm that leak out more than a penny, but only because we cannot see the pennies roll out we go com- posedly along the even tenor of our way- as if we had pennies to burn. Let us reeolleet that every time we feed ice cold inilk to either pigs, chickens or calves we are loisng pennies, and forthwith resolve we will do 'so ne more. It is a good plan to oeeasionly look over the farm and see if there are any unseen pennies going to waste.—Stockman and Farmer.
