as inanv way leemujared lor the majantv of the merchants of our conntr are willing to testify that business has never been better than during the past two yean but the spectator is well aware of the fact as is also the general public ist not more than so per cent ot the ttotels and saloons of the dominion are necessary for the accommodation of the travelling public the keepers ot these places consequently look to the sale of whiakey and other intoxicating liquors for their profi ts and when a prohibitary law is enacted the great bulk ot their business a naturally gone and they are obliged to remove elsewhere toconbnue their business er engage in some legiumiatc trade the bet that ealtou hotel keepers are going out ot the business and removing from the county is evidence ot a very clear and satis factory nature that the scott act is rapid iy accomplishing the end desired by its promoters i e- of killing tbe whiskey business and making those hotels which are necessary for the accommodation ot the public comfortable homes for travellers viihoqt the i3tttmg influence of the whis key traffic so long connected with them notes and comments a scott act agitation has commenced in
