We purpose to Write somewhat ter-
sely, and confide ourselves to dtate-.
menu of facts, so we. will not ela-
borate on this point. Argument
may be met with argument, and sup-
position with suppdsition, but facts
are incontrovertible. And we sub-
mit that this feature of prohibition
is an incontrovertible fact. ' ,
to prohibition,
b cause
e
object
Weo
it lowers • the standard of character
where men come into contact with
it. As we quoted previously from
Sir Richard Cartwright, who wrote
deliberately, that "not a few of the
greatest' scoundrels 'I have known,
and mfr experience has been exten-
sive, have been very ardent temper-
ance. advocates". Why this should
be, is not hard to seek. Prohibition
of alcoholic beverages. is unnatural,
unseriptural and therefore its influ-
ence cannot be good. It turns men
into sneaks, hypocrites, liars and
even perjurers. Many would be sur-
prised if they were told it even acts
injuriously on the purity of the life.
We will furnish OLatistics, at a lat-
er date, to prove this. Excess in
drinking is not the only sin ;men and
women commit, although to listen to
some sermons, one would be tempt-
ed to think so.
We object to prohibition, of the
kind the Scott Act would introduce
in the County of Huron, because it
is so manifestly unfair. Why should
we lave a law that affects the poor
man, and does not affect the rich,
nor even the moderately well-to-do ?
This injustice alone should cause ev-
ery poor man to vote against it ;
one would think. Why should Smith,
because by accident, he has money
er+ough to buy a case of whisky,
have all he wants to drink, and
Jones because he by accident can
only afford to buy a glass at a
c itDoes the
time, be deprived ed of ?
t c
possessionof the means render Smith
a person more worthy of trust than
Jones, does .t res ler nmrth less
likely to abuse the use of whiskey
than Jones, or does the possesg:on
of money render him one whose wishes
must be considered ? We state a
fact when we brand the Scott Act
in this regard, as an infamy ; and
an insult to all those, who do not
happen to possess a certain amount
of money. If it is wrong for Jones
to ,buy a glass, it is 14 times More
wrong for'Smith to buy a bottle ;
on the assumption that one bottle
equals 14 drinks.
We object to prohibition under the
guise of Scott Act, because it delv-
es drinking alcoholic beverages out
of the hotel into the home, There's
no getting out of .it. This again is
an incontrobertible fact. It removes
drinking from the hotel to the home.
One would think that all those dear
people who are shouting "Save the
boy" would shrink with horror from
the bare idea of doing anything that
would introduce, ` in any degree,
"�'��" drinking ice the home, where tiro Boys
