to answer. "A tavern keeper must
lint his place of business on election
day." Why? Men want their senses
about them. " It is wrong to sell at
certain times; it must therefore be
wrong to sell at all, that is allowing
that it is right to be in our proper

election day will find the temperance
men at their post regardless of party.
Here, at least, the Scott Act has been
a success, A drunken man has rarely
been seen on our streets since it came
iu force. Though there is so much
talk of "more selling" no body be-
lieves it. The liquor sellers them-
selves know better. Here is what
Judge Rose says : In 1884, ( under
license,) in counties of Bruce, Dundas,
Dufferin, Stormont, Glengarry,
Huron, Norfolk, Oxford, Renfrew and
Simcoe, there were 211 convictions
for drunkenness. In 1884, (under
Scott Act,) 74; a decrease of 150j°
iu six months. In 1885., for the whole
year, 81, or 9 in each county, showing,
what the Scott Act did in one year.
But the liquor seller says we know
enough not• to sell to any person who
gets drunk. Good. One gain by the
Scott Act. But then the Government
returns show that there is at least
less sold. On our side are: good men,
women, angels, heaven. On the other:
bad men, drink, traders, and agents of
evil. Some weak kneed brothers say :
" lets have high license." You admit
it is wrong brother, high license wont.
make it right. "Personally liberty,"
says another. We •must have law,
you admit. " Oh yes law is good.
This is but one more'and it is a good
law. "Can't enforce it." We can.
For two years we have been working
and the machinery is now in motion.
Give it a fair trial. It has only been
enforced one year and there is not a
single person in Godericb jail for being
drunk, and has not ' been in 1887.
" Wha t harm does liquor do ?" 1. De-
stroy§ health, happiness and home.
2. $2,000,000,00a, is, spent every year
in England and United States to make
drunkards. 8. 43 out of 44 murders
are caused by drink. 4,. 8070 of in-
sanity is caused by drink. 5. 907, of
. money. spent for jails caused by drink.
• 6. In Halton $12,000 was paid for
poor rates. Now only $500, • or 1.24,
so that 23-24 of poor rates are caused
by drink.
