I/' fv k IP fe>- h"-:. . k lft*" I Generals Shatter and Miles have issued orders that saloons in towns and cities occupied by our victorious armies shall fee dosed, TEe order has been obeyed, the saloons hare been closed, and the li­ quor spilled in the streets. It is to be regretted that the crreat Commander in fchief of our Armies and Navy, cannot ace his way clear to extend this prohibition, mo that neither on land nor on sea, in the camp, (garrison or field should the government engage in the business of debauching its soldiers euid sailors. THB LIQUOR TRABS. s '*>. xll creates no wealth, it earns nothing, Hves upon the earnings of other trader; It adds nothing whatever to the wealth of tbe state, nor to the property or comfort of the people, 'lhe trade is wasteful like war; it destroys more of the wages of the people and the results or useful industries, than "war, pesti­ lence and famine combined;" it creates more than three-fourths of the poverty, pauperism, and crime of the country, and more than one-half of the insanity; It icfliete a premature and shameful death upon more than sixty thousand persons annually; it transforms hun­ dreds of good, industrious citizens into drunkards, vagabonds and tramps, it •ends an infinite misery into hundreds of . thousands of homes; it puts the people down, its effect is to make the people ig­ norant, coarse, vulgar, brutal, enemies of law, order and good government. Such are part of the certain effects of this trade. There is not now and never has been in this country a locality where the policy of the license has diminished tbe li­ quor traffic or the evils coming from it. No one has ever suggested that under license the demand for liquor would not be fully met and freely supplied. The friends of temperance in Maine will never consent to establish by law and give 'e- gal protection to a trade which inflicts far more evil upon the community than comes from all other causes of evil combined. 1899| ears i' * " r,vi We will begin the Now Year well in Heavy W inter Goods. , giving our customers Duck Coats, worth $1.

A special paint la needed. It mudt be ready-mixed, ready for use. It must flow easily, have a bright, glossy finish, dry quickly and must not blister, crack, peel or rub off. It must have a hard surface combined with unusual elasticity, to stand being walked on--the tardeet Jttod of wear.
