A CAMPAIGN ROORB-4CK.
"A farmer who had been supplying
Mr. Wells with barley called with a load
ea Saturday, but was told that the firm
bad month to last unto the 1st of May,
and that nc more could be purchased
wtil the vote on the Sor.tt Act took
The farmer drove up town and
bed to sell the barley at exactly 12} cls.
Ism than Mr. Wells bad laid him for a
timelier sample."
The above a from the Clinton organ
of the anti•Scctt party, and 11 is not Ile-
mmsary to ay that it has been published
to create a wrongful impression. It may
be quite true that a farmer drove a load
of barley to Mr. Wells' for sale ; and,
also, that Mr. `Yells, on account of having
enough to last him until next May, did
not purchase ; but when it is insinuated
that the farmer, upon driving to town,
bad to sell his barley fur 12}c. less than
Mr. Wells would have given, the anti -
Scott organ gees beyond the bounds of
boned v.
(1., Mr. Wells does not, newer did
and never will be able to fix the market
price of barley, any more than a grist
sill regulates the market price of wheat,
and for any one to make such a conten-
tion is to write himself down an am.
(2) If Mr. Wells has been in the habit
of paying 12}c a bushel for barley more
dna the market price, he has been doing
• wry foolish thing, for lc extra a bushel
rail give aoy buyer control of t:.e market
be barley or any other class of grain. In
bis own interest, his neighbors rs should
Gert themselves to '.lace him beyond
tis reach of each temptation to injure
himself in the future, fur 25c. on every
dsBar'e worth of barites purchased by
bin is too large a bonus to give the
!Rimers to sell to hen.
(3) There is nothing in the Soott Act
that says any brewery shall close up in
the event of the Act becoming the law
of the county, and Mr. Walls, or any
other brewer will not be interfered with
in the manufacture and wholesale ennui
of beer. The antis say there will tis as
sock, or more liquor sold in the county
ander the Act, as there was before it,and
if such be their belief—fur it is their
cootenteon, whether they believe it or
not—what rivbt have the brewers and
distillers to complain
If our readers will glance over the
Aet, and scan the market reports they
hill be convinced that the little item
shout the 12} dm on barley is a bonen,
and that the special pleading fur the
preservation of the Saltfurd or any other
brewery is not necessary, for the Act
does not prevent the mauufacture and
male by export of beer or porter.
Tex meanest sort of a be is a half
troth told with the intent to deceive. An
anti -Scott; organ had the followittg last
wreck:—
"The amount of barley grown in Canada
is 1883 was 18,414,3:17 bushels notion
14,284. 407 in 11482, ,warty moa half the
amounts being used in borne cunsump-
ttiion. "
This was to contradict the charge that

Our correspondent's query is an inter-
esting one, although the tithe of the
commuu►cation is a misnomer, act it
doesn't require • chez:Ro st.answer it :
(1) There is nothing (a the Scott Act
to hinder any person from drinking wine
or strong drink, if be can gat it. The
Scott Act only restricts tAe plana arra
.work of sale. On the question of who
should be licensed, or whether taverns
should be licensed to sell intoxicants, the
teat is out of court.
(2) There is nothing in the Scriptural
quotation made by our correspondent to
warrant the buying or drinking of what
we nowadays all "strong drink."
Spirituous liquors, such as whisky, gin
and brandy, were unknown when the
Bible was written. Alcohol by idistilla-
tion was discovered only 600 years ago.
The "strong drink" of the scripture is •
totally different kind of liquor, beiug

fermented, not distilled. Whisky,
brandy, wine, gin and modern "strong
drinks' are not alluded to in the verse
given ..cove. These were not discovered
until at least 1700 years after that verse
was written.
(3) While the text seems to permit
the tae of strong drink under certain
peculiar circumstances, the weight of
Scriptural evidence is against it. The
general tread of the Bible is against in-
dulgence in intoxicants. The rerse
given is more than met by the following
from the same divine source :—
Wine and strong drink were expressly
forbidden priests in active service. ,See
Lev. 10. 8, 9, 10 and Ezekiel 44, 21.)
In Isaiah 18: 7, (800 years later• we
find the plaint:
"But they have also erred through
wine, and through strong drink are out
of the way : the priest and the prophet
have erred through strong dank ; they
are swallowed up of wine.[ they are net
of the way through strong drink ; they
err in vision, they stumble in judg-
ment."
The wise men said.
"It is toot for kings to drink wine, nor
for princes strung drink, led they drink
and forget the law, and pervert the judg-
ment of the afflicted."—Prov. 31:4,5.
And in the next verse he ironically
says :
'•Gire strong drink to his that is
ready to perish, etc ; ' as of to say, '0 a
man wants to die. let him drink it."
Elsewhere we find in Proverbs:—
"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is
raging and when -weer is , deceived there-
by is not wise."—Prov. 20, 1.
In the 23rd chapter of that grouping
of wise sayings, we find the following
terrible indictment of the evil :
"Who bath woe ? who bath sorrow t
who hath contentions ? who hath bab-
bling ! who hath wounds without cause ?
who hath redness of eyes?
"They that tarry long at the wine ;
they that go to seek mixed wine.
"Look thou not upon the wine when
it is red, when it giveth his oolor in the
cup, when it mei-0th itself aright :
"At the last it biteth lake a serpent,
and stingeth like an adder."
Isaiah shoo inveighs against it :—
"Woe onto 'hem that rise up early in
the morning, that they may fella -mate -one
drink ; that continue until night, nntd
wine inflame them.
"Woe unto them that are mighty to
drink wine, and men tot strength to
mingle strong drink." -(Isaiah 5,11, 22.
The whole smatter is contained in this
striking Scripture :—
It is a striking point in the methods
of the rival parties in this probibitiso
fight. tint while the Scott Act mss pre

THE ALARMING RCM' LT OF EDUCATION...
The fact is becoming obvious to all
that national education is improving the
girls to such a degree that they won't ac-
cept service. Let the education of the
girls be raised a trifle hither, and their
taste for refinement be a little more cul-
tivated, and the servant girl will become
as extinct as the pterodactyl or megath-
enum.—[Bobcaygeon Indepeudent.

On Sunday afternoon the temperance
hall was packed to hear addressee on the
all absorbing question of the temperance
law, Thor. McGillicuddy occupied the
chair, and briefly referred W the sudden
conversion to strict Sabbatarian princi-
ples of the liquor men. Rev. Mr. Br, -
ley. of S.aforth, spoke at some length,
and cited a number of authorities in
fever of prohibition. Some of his points
were very well taken. Rev. G. B. Tay•
for was the last speaker. He trade a
lively address. and struck et intemperance
in a vigorous fashion. The audience was
so enthusiastic that at times it was im-
possible t, refrain from applauding. The
meeting next Sunday afternoon will be
addressed by able speekers.
BELGRAVE.
Rev. T. M. Campbell. of Goderieh,
spoke on the Scott Act on Monday night
at Relgrave t, a good audience. He was
well received, and the meeting appeared
to be solid for the Scott Act.
WINGHAM.
The anti -Scott Act meetinc in this
town on Tuesday erecting, was not help-
ful to that party. The address of Dr.
Martyn, the liquor champion, was ably
answered by F. S. Spence, of To •
route. The meeting appeared to, favor
the Scott Act. Dr. Martyn accuses the
temperance party of having packed the
meeting with hard oases from the vicinity
for miles around. The story will not go
down with the electors. The style of the
anti -speaker is not very "magnetic."

by Rev. J. H. Carron and Tons. Mo-

and a torrent of rain fell all the time be-
fore and during the meeting. The at-
tendance was consequently small, but
the speakers aroused the interest of
their hearers, and got an excellent hear-
ing.

forty minutes, and took up the points

son left the building until the doss.
11oe temperance people appeared stirred
up to activity by the meeting. No one

New York, Oct. 21.- The llerdrt's
Fort Wayne despatch says there were
witnessed there yesterday some of the
must excltiug scenes ever known in the
history of the city. Early is the morn-
ing democrats and republicans began to
arrive, u.d at 11 o'clock there were 30,-
000 strangers in town. The democrats,
bent on mischief, captured the city and
erected a platform for speakers just op-
posite the place where Blaine was adver-
tised to speak. Blaine arrived at half
past elevuu. After reviewing the pro-
ceesion he appeared on the balcony of the
Avelino house. This was the signal for
the democrats to yell. TM scene' which
followed are almost indescrible, republi-
cans yelling for Blaine and Logan, while
democrats shouted for Cleveland and
Hendricks. Four times Blaine attempt-
ed to speak, bat his voice was complete-
ly drowned. Finding that he could not
proceed he retired. The exitement wan
intense, and there were fears of • riot.
Calmer feelings, however, prevaibd. The
republicans withdrew and Durbin Ward,
Hill and Leip addressed the democrats.
McKinley sod others addremsd the re-
pudiates in Library hall. Blaine wags
driven to the residence of Jesse
Williams, where he spent the
nicht. He goes to India:awls*
the morning. in the evening
parties paraded in force. Several
resulted but the police arrested tie
den. Both parties held meetings which
were interrupted by members of the
other. A riot may be precipitated at
any moment, as both partes are in an
angry mond. Ben Harrison has arrived.
He is greatly incensed. Prominent
democrats also eisapprove of the pro-
eesdinga
The S,sw's Fort Wayne says : Tb. [est
