The average amount of revenue actgal-
ly collected by the Dominion Govern-
ment from the liquor traffiokere is a
little over seven millions of dollars,
The report of the Royal Commission
(*libelee a statement ehowiag that the
average amounts from all duties, and
from manufaoturere' licensee, for five
years, ending, June 801h, 1893, amonnt to
$7,101,557.22 per year.
A careful estimate of the revenue for
the year ending June 306h, 1890 on the
same basis, shows the amount to have
been $7,071,815,
The Finance Minister in his budget
speech raoently submitted a statement
showing the liquor revenue for the year
ending June 8018,1897, to be $8,280,933,-
43. This amount, however, is not to be
taken as the ordinary revenue. The
Finance Minister said :—"It will be
noticed that there is an apparent in-
crease in the consumption of spirits in
1807, but that, I think, is to be aocount•
ed for by the fact that in anticipation of
the changes in the excise duties last ses-
sion, very oonsiderable liquors were enter-
ed for duty, which will probably affeot
the ooneumption for the next year, so
that the figures which show an inareaee
rather chow an increase in mercantile
operations than in actual ooneumption."
The annual report of the Inland
Revenue Department contains a similar
statement, so that we may look for an
important falling off in the year now
nearly closing, and the Royal Commis-
sion figures may be taken as a fair esti-
mate of the actual average Dominion
revenue from the liquor traffic.
Tan Dominion Government has named
Thursday, September 29th, as the date
on which the vote will be taken in con•
nection with the Plebiscite, This will
leave less than two months for the com-
pletion oflorganization and preparing for a
record that will be to the credit of this fair
Dominion. Every intelligent man should
think solemnly over this question of
Prohibition and vote in line with the
Bible, the best interests of himself, This
sons and daughters and the community
generally. If this is done we have no
fear of the summing up at 5 o'clock 011
Sept. 291h. The principal necessity is
for people to arouse themselves and find
out whose country this is and what its
future is to be. Has God anything to do
with it ? Does the Lord's Prayer refer
to it in anyway ? Is there any instance
where a man became a better son, hus-
band, parent, neighbor or citizen by in-
dulging in the flowing bowl ? There ae
nothing to be gained by calling names or
saying harsh things but if the Ohristain
people of this Canada of ours are asleep
it is now time that they were thoroughly
aroused to a privilege never before offer-
ed. The form of the ballot paper and of
the question to bo submitted is as fol-
lows :—
Are you in favor of
the passing of an act
prohibiting the impor-
tation, manufacture
or sale of spirits, wine,
ale, beer, cider and all
other alcoholic liquors
for use as beverages ? Yes. No.
The persons entitled to vote s11811 be
those who have the right of the Provin•
anal franchises or those who ander the
Dominion franchise act passed last ses-
sion would have the right to vote in a
Federal election. For the purposes of
this vote the same proceeding, as nearly
as may be, will be had as in the case of a
general Dominion election. The ballot
papers will be printed at Ottawa and will
be forwarded with the writ by Major
Chapleau, the Clerk of the Crown in
Chancery, to returning officers. Every
returning officer will appoint two agents
to attend at eaolh polling station on be.
half of those desiring an affirmative
answer to the question, and two on behalf
of those desiring a negative answer.
These agents will not be entitled to re-
muneration from the public treasury. In
the absence of such agents two electors
representing each interest will be admit.
ted to the booth to watch the final sum-
ming up of the votes.
Gaand Trunk Coaches.
Twenty-six NOW and Modernly Built
Care Added to the Belling Slack.
That the Grand Trunk Railway Com•
parry is determined to leave nothing un.
done that will possibly add t0 the cum.
fort and convenience of its patrons is
ehowe by the latest addition to its rolling
stock, in which the oonetruction of a
first-class railway ooaoh is brought well
nigh to perfection.
The company has jest placed 28 of
theee new coaohee on the system, and it

in their appointments, and in /thigh, they
surpass anything of the kind that has
hitherto been seen on a Canadian rail.

superior may be fonnd on any railway in
the world. The new (Machu ere vete-

skill and workmanship.

can be turned from one side to the other,
while the backs as well as the seats can
be easily removed for cleaning purposes.
To the lovers of the fragrant wend the
most interesting feature of the coach will
be the commodious and luxurione molt-
ing room that has been provided for their
use. It is a separate enclosed apartment
at one end of the oar, where they may
enjoy it quiet smoke without iuterrup•
tion. Even to the most minute details,
each as the arrangements of the private
apartments, the convenience of the pas-
senger has been studied. Tbe olosete

have beau provided for the ladies. Im.

ganger desires to arrange a blind, his
temper will not be so sorely tried that he
will be inclined to use language more
forcible than elegant. The ball bearings
of the blinds are so arranged that they
will stop at any point desired. The oars
are heated by steam and lighted by the
Pinteoh gas. The ventilating arrange.
menta are ample and satisfactory, and
everything about the new ooaohes wears
an air of ease and elegance.
On the whole, the new mulles are
models of modern constructive skill, and
the Grand Trunk, by meth improvements
shows that its management is actuated
by a spirit of enterprise and progress,
which augurs well for Canada's pioneer
railway system.
Neal Dow's Evidence.
lion. Gen. Neal Dow, of Portland,
Maine, was examined by the Royal Com-
mission on the Liquor Traffic at Mont.
reel. Special interest attaches to Ins
testimony, as to his effort was largely due
the enactment of the :Maine Law in the
first place. The following extract is
taken from the statement
I suppose there was no state in the
Union where more liquor was consumed
in proportion to the population than fn
Maine. That arose very largely from
the fact of two groat industries being
carried on there—one being the lumber
trade, which you all know about in Can-
ada, and the other being the fisheries,
which you also know about here. The
lumbermen were employed in the woods
during the winter cutting down the trees,
and drink would form a regular part of
their rations ; and the fishermen had
rum as a regular part of their rations.
The result was that poverty and pauper-
ism were with the people of Maine. An
immense quantity of liquor was consum-
ed there.
There were a great many distilleries in
the State, seven of them were in Port.
land, and two breweries. They made
rum from molasses imported in large
quantities from the West Indies ; they
made whiskey from potatoes, and •
some
of them made applejack, or brandy, from
apples. Now there is not a distillery or
brewery in Maine, and there has not been
one for a good many years.
At that time large quantities of West
India rum were imported. This rum
came to us by the cargo. A great many
cargoes were received every year, and it
was a regular trade. A large fleet of
vessels was regularly employed in the
West India trade. They took fish and
lumber out•and brought back molasses,
which was converted into rum ; and also
West India rum. Now, there is not one
puncheon of rum imported into Maine,
and there has not been any imported for
very many years.
The result of the change has been this :
that while Maine was undoubtedly one of
the poorest States in the Union in the
olden time, ibis now one of the most
prosperous. The volume of 111e liquor
traffic is greatly reduced. The savings of
the people from that traffic are such that
the State has become very flourishing.
I know all about our property fn the
olden times. Our industries, aside from
fishing and lumbering, were on a very
small scale, and our people had not suffi-
cient capital to carry on the trade. I
know all about that personally. Our
industries have since then very greatly
multiplied and extended, and we have
abundant capital to carry on all our
business, and there is besides a large
amount of surplus 'capital which seeks
investment outside of the State, A great
deal of 11Iaine capital is all over the coun-
try for investment.
The prohibition law in Maine was en•
toted in 1851, nearly fortyone years ago.
Within six menthe after the enactment
of the law the jails in the counties of
Penobscot, Kennebec, Oxford, Franklin
and York were almost empty. When I
visited York jail, the keeper, as he put
the key into the lock, apologized for
keeping his hens there. He had no
further use for the jail. In regard to the
jail in Cumberland, where I live, and
which is a county that has a large pope•
nation, it had been overcrowded many
years, and artioleg had appeared in the
newspapers urging tlhe building of a new
jail. I -visited the jail within four menthe
of the enactment of the law, and there
were only four persons there, three of
whoin were rumsellero who were there
for violation of the law. A.11 this 1V0.8
during the first year of the enforcement
of the law, and it wag then vigorously
enforced: There has been a laxity fn 111e
enforcement of the law ab different times
since.
It is quite safe to say that the quantity
of liquor sold in Maine now is not one.
twentieth as much as it was before the
law was passed. It is quite within the
marls to matte that statement. Portland
is the largest city in the State, and it is
within the truth to gay that the quantity
of liquor sold there now is not one•
hundredth of what it was before, We
had seven distilleries and two breweries,
and we had many cargoes every year from
the West Indies, which the people brought
over for their own use. Now, whatever
.THE BRUSSELS POST
liquor is sold there, le sold on a very
small scale, and on the sly,
We aro saving directly and indirectly
at least $24,000,000 every year, n911011 hot
for this law would be wasted in drink, as
it was in olden times. In the uld daye
the people of Mains event ill etroug drink
the eutire value of all their property ;
now it in far within the truth to say that
$1,000,000 would pay for all the liquor
etnnggled into Maine and sold in violation
of the law, So the slaving to the people
•of Maine has been very great, and .sae
been the means of malting the State
prosperous, as it woo not h1 the olden
days. We expect to achieve still greater
success fu the future. The liquor sold
now is the result of certain dcfciencieq in
the law, and wo have been trying Le have
those deficiencies corroded.
The English law can be enforced mucin
better than the law in Maine. We have
not there summary trials and convictions,
OA in England, and perhaps in Canada,
but there are very long trials ill the
United States. The constitution requires
that every man shall be tried by jury,
and so when a man is convicted of selling
ram he appeals, and there is a delay of a
year or two, and I may say that facilitios
are given for delays. Besides, the courts
have discretion in regard to the adnliuie•
(ration of the law, and as the lawyers
press the courts so much, the judges are
very apt to be leuienb In the adminis-
tration of the law.
The liquor traffic is nob entirely ex,
eluded from Maine ; but it is safe to say
that in more than three•fourths of our
territory, containing more than three-
fourths of the population, the liquor
traffic is practically extinguished. In all
the rural districts and smaller towns and
villages, there are 110 grog shops and no
liquor traffic. A whole generation has
grown up without having seen the effects
of liquor, and there aro men and women
who have never seen a drunken man,

The Bee says :—With several more

real estate wealth of Atwood, the ques-
tion of fire protection forces itself more
and more upon our attention as property
holders of the village and demands solu-
tion sooner oc later. Robt.'Watt, of the
Waterous Steam Fire Engine Works,
Brantford, Ont„ called (upon, the Bee on
Monday of last week, to discuss fire pro.
Lection for Atwood, and as Secretary -
Treasurer of the Fire Brigade we laid
before hint such facts as the possessed
regarding our needs and the progress we
have made. He showed us photographs
of three fire engines they have in stock,
refitted and made practically as good as
new, together with prices, eta. A very
good engine was offered us at $450 which
is capable of throwing a ># fide stream 160
feet, or two 3 inch streams 100 feet,
which, it is needless to iidd, would meet
the requirements of a village very well.
The hose is standard size, fitting both
hand engine and steamer should the
latter be required at any future time.
Mr. Watt also gave us prices of the hose,
reel, oto. As he is a practical machinist
and was for a number of years foreman
of the Ronald Werke, Brussels, he knows
whereof he epeaks, and he assures ns that
any of the three hand engines they offer
fulfill entirely the requirements of the
Underwriters' Association, so that in the
event of Atwood purohaeing one of these
engines and fittings the village would get
the benefit of a better rating than we now
have, if indeed, we have any rating now.
