Why did Halton Repeal the Scott Act ? This is the question which Rev. C. R. Morrow, of Alma, asks in a recent lecture of his on “ Moral and Civil Law," and some of the facts stated in the reply are worth preserving and thinking about. He says: “Not be- cause it was a failure. The temperance people were able to show that all the ministers of the. Gospel (with perhaps four exceptions), both members of Par- liament anda majority of the county cduncil were against repeal. Three newspapers in the county wrote against and only one for repeal. .No one be- lieved there was anything like as much liquor consumed as under license. We were able to say that the Act had great- ly reduced crime. Take this fact, that for twelve nssizes in succession and twelve sessions of the peace, twenty-four courts in all, not one criminal sentence was pronounced. Where is the county that protects by law this nefarious traf- fic that can say that at no general court held during six consecutive years has a criminal sentence been pronounced. “ Then look at the other side. Eleven or more of the men who circulated the re 03] petition had been fined or sen tenced to jail for violation of the law. At least twenty-seven of those signing the petition were similarly dealt with for being,' law-breakers. The liquor arty had been beaten twice at the polls, driven from the platform, and their statements, one after another, dis- proved by the logic of events. And yet the Act was repealed. What was the result of repeal ? There had been twelve assizes without a criminal being sentenced, but at the first assizes under license two criminals were sentenced. Again: The convictions for assault, drunks, etc, for fifteen quarters under the Temperance Act were eighty-eight; for similar offences for the quarter end- ing December, 1888, the first full quar- ter under license, forty. The figures are worth repeating : Convictions for fifteen quarters under temperance law. eighty-eight. and for one quarter under liquor law, forty.” 0-0 Beer Will be Taxed. __ Washington. D. 0., April 18.â€"-The Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee of the House have practically concluded the preparation of a reVenue measure which will be passed to raise revenue sufiicient to prosecute war. The members propose that the present generation shall bear the bar- dens of the war, and proceeding upon that theory they have prepared a bill that will raise between $100,000,000 and 8120.000000 additiOnal revenue per year. The bill will provide for an additional tax of $1 per barrel on beer. from which 830,000,000 will be raised. Oo manufactured tobacco and snuff the internal revenue will be increased from 6 to 12 cents. This is expected to raise $15,000,000 of revenue. The increase on clears and cigarettes has not been ab- solutely fixed. but probably will be one l cnue taxation of the act 01 1866. whit-‘1 includes a stamp tax on all C‘lcll‘h‘s, drafts and all instruments oi businms (mortgages. loans and bonds); a tax on - patent and proprietary medicines and a tax on telegraph messages and express packages is also incm-pnratcd in the bill. This scheme at taxation is estimated to raise 835.000.000. The tax on propri- etary and patent medicines will be 2 cents on packages or bottles retailing at 25 cents or under, and 4 cents on thus-.2 retailing above that price. o.- Ontario Fish and Game Regulations.
