Sxa,-â€"I begto reply to yours of the 0th inst. You were pleased to say I descended to hard names. low abuse and incorrect statements. That my letters are personal. I admit. But Mr. Moyle your false accusations against, permit me tosay. a majority of the people of Canada, are of such a character. that had I searched the vocabulary for mild language in which to answer you. would have been labour thrown away. You will know my letters are neither incor- rect or abusive as applied to your case That you have not replied, is not dis- appointing to me. As indeed you are unable to do so unless you plead guilty to the ofiences imputed to you, a course -I did not expect you take as you appear not to possess the moral courage ‘and manliness to acknowledge yourself the basest of base slanderers. Be truth- ful and not abusive, Mr. Moyle, and you "will escape criticism, such a course may ; benncongeuial to your mind but it will 1 pay you best in the end. You call in l your character to do duty in your behalf, I fear your choice of a witness is a most unhappy one and a great mistake on your part. Henry Moyle, libeller and ‘ W.â€" ‘.1“_~ 4 i l l slanderer, calling in Henry Moyle's character to shield his guilt, is a device, too thin, too transparent to "serve your ‘sinister design. You cannot conceal the eleven foot. The mass of figures you have compiled, most likely in great part from the immense store of vour fertile imaginings to show the Scott Act is not afailure and that the consumption of spirituous and malt liquors is much less than it has been in former years may please yourself but is not in accord with general facts. I take the following statement from last Saturday's “Em- pire" from Dominion receipts and ex- penditures for the first half of the finan- cial years 1887 and 1888, ending 31st of December last. Excise, $2,975,324 as compared with $2,738,675 for first half of financial year 1886 and 1887, being in excess of 1886 and 1387, the sum of $234,649. This large amount is chiefly derived from ales, beer and whiskey and means a large increase of outputs of in- toxicants, the increased manufactures of these liquors implies an increased con- sumption of these intoxicants in the,‘ country, as little or none is exported to ! fmeign countries. These facts go far to ‘ prove that the Scott Act is a failure. : Mr. Moyle‘s figures to the _ contrary notwithstanding. That Mr. Mow at's l l government has been honest in assisting to put down intemperanee is a question on which people may differ, M r. Mowat’s colleagues and followers before the last Provincial elections, were all things to all men that they might get support- Denning and McCrea were sent out as informers, a precious pair of hypocrites Md seamps. it is reported of them they areex-convicts. The Myrtle tragedy is the crowning results of their labours. Several years ago, Mr. Mowat's govern- ment sent a pair of rascals as. informers I to the western part of the Province. One 1 Sabbath they went into a couple of hotels in the absence of the proprietors, and pretended they had barely escaped drowning in Lake Huron, were almost perished, begged and persisted in getting ‘ liquor from the servant girl, they at length succeeded and the next day the proprietors were summoned and in due course were fined. So great was the indignation of the people because of this ; scoundrclism that Mr. Mowat’s povern- i meut thought it expedient to. and with- drew these sleuthbounds from the scene of their nefarious labours. Soon thereafter the services of the notorious George Albert Mason were called in re- qmsition. You know. for nisperjurybeis 1 doing penal servitude. Whether Mr. l Mowat‘s government in these matters is f praiseworthy is in my mind more than ' questionable. The most workable law we have had is the stringent License Act and the sooner the Scott Act counties return to the License system the better l will it be for all concerned. as for tho i Scott Act, the benefits, if any. are small E and the bad feelings ongmidered, the ’ crimes that are directly and indirectly ] the outcome of llns worse than useless ; law, are large. The soonor it be con- signed to the dead past. the sooner will l the country be at peace. Yours c., To Mn. HENRY Moms.

Ohlldton Cry for I had bills posted up in seven different places so as to legally advertise the work and did all that could be done ac- cording to law and 110w anyone nearing ! the name of man could circulate such a gross and vindictive lie, I am at a loss to know. As I enclose my instructions from the'conncil, and I wrote Brock council but got no reply, so I acted on the advice of the council and sold, as such things are usually sold, to the highest bidder. I nowenclose affidavits ‘ of respectable men, who were present, that I acted as if it was my own private property. The gentleman who circulated the story that I acted wrong must feel in conscience, if he has any, what we read in the holy writ that “a lying tongue is an'abomination to the Lou ." I say to him, God mend his ways before he ap- proaches the throne of mercy. This I cedar was sold as a means of Opening up r I l l the said townline and when the cedar was sold it cost 40 cents per rod to clear and grub the road 2 rods wide. I re- ceived for the township 810 for our half of the cedar and Brock received 37, mak- ing a totalj‘of 817, this was for about 100 rods of cedar. My friend who cxrculated these false reports received power to sell and open up the side road adjoining the townline, which was all cedar, but he forgot to tell you that he was giving 57 cents and the cedar to grub and clear the side road 2 rods wide. I \ now leave the ratepayers to judge who i made a present or sacrificed your pro- ! perty, whether it was myself or my l slanderer. I will also give my charges for selling the cedar, they were 33, as I had to advertise it twice. the first day being wet and no person came, so you can see it was 76 cents a trip. My friend offered to work for nothing, you SIR.â€"â€"Will you be kind enough to allow me through the medium of your paper to contradict a. foul and malicious report circulated by some evil disposed person to injure my humble. but I hope straightforward character and has cir- culated a. report that Iinade a. present of some cedar. while in Council. to a. friend.
