his act should be made an excepliou for without such a protiston law to a gret kteut would be a dead letter but ho dout teem to be very clsar as to whether his objection may atio not so much froin any

the objection able scott act dont nuke uao of such names what doe h mean by the statement we support iho scott act because it aims at the suppression of that ruinous traffic which is a fruit ful source cf the ctimes indicated by such names we do notpropoae o enttt into lie question whether there leany good men engaged in the sals of liquors it is of too personal a nature fuither thau to say that it is exceedingly diuiealt o dissociate otic views of the morula of a person ftom the moral character of tin budineas he is engaged iu a tree ia known only by it fruit ffe says he cannot be a patty lo deprive men of iheir property without couipeu ation it ia not jutt this looki puasiblo but he oveilooks the fact hat so long as we allow intoxicating liquors to be legally sold we are laities to a traffic that if the causa af depriving thousands not only of their property but of their character and their lives who is to compensate for thir loss cut this act dontdeprive anyone of their property it simply deprives men of a privilege granted from year to year of selling intoxicating liquors a privilege of which many even in halloa have already been deprived br taw and to some of thesa the loss was gnat gain but all at ones our friend tarns bis face to tla prohibitionists an idea new to him comes up stop the manufacture of it entirely or make a law for ile whole province and make such a law as will be just lo all men these ideas appear to be new to him but they are standing principles with the advocates of the scott act to stop the manufacture is the ultimata object of the advocates of temperance bat the scott act is the present stage in the process and if ha and those with him who join ill the same cry are sincere thywtll all with one accord give their voice and rota for tha act but ha wants a law that will be just taajllmen that is exactly what we are working for under the existing law aprivilsga of carrying on a ruinou trad is granted- lo about four in a thousand of oar population and denied to all the rest we claim this state of things lo hi vory unjattand therefore ws support the scott act as la hii respect it pats slltneaoa acomnjod level granting special privileges to none we therefore on the ground of justice fo all men claim be support of all good mea for be scott ao next ha fully admits that strong drink is itijurioui very injuiioua but something better ihart ito scott act can aud must be devised to stop drunkenness so say we bat to that end we mast support the act as that belter thing cm only be obtained by progressive steps he admits the act will uiako it a lil tie more inconvenient to pricure liquor yes and it will make it a little irconvenient to those from whom it ia piocurod it carried out agaltbe saya wbea you close
