If - '- The cry gow up all over the. land that jfc * J Jgh license has reduced the nuniber-tyT % rnioons one-half, and more, in many of , our leading citiee; and advocates of this pr* ii.efchod would have the world infer that P§v |t. is a great temperance measure. - What j^T u flimsy*fraud! Would lessening the II ti u ruber of dry goods stores lessen the If pale of dry goods, or grocery stores the 1^' quantity of food sold? The man who \ claims that reducing the number of sa- ^ • loous one-half or more, reduces the sale nud eonsumptionof alcoholic beverages A in like ratio, is either willfully dishonest £ («r densely ignorant of human nature and the power of appetite, and especially the uppetite for strong drink. It is well 1^. Itnowu that a man afflicted with this cursed appetite will resort to any means Necessary to satisfy his cravings, hon- - orable if he can, dishonorable if need be. Uany a man would go hungry, even to . the verge of actual starvation, before he •; ' would resort to the same means to ob- food, that he would not hesitate a ? foment to do to obtain whisky. Is the tact, then, of a few more or less saloons In a town or city, going to keep the driuking man from obtaining that for - which he will sacrifice food, clothing, wife, Tj| Children, honor, and everything else that makes life worth the living/ What then : . 4oes high license do ? It concentrates the ^damnable business in the hands of fewer • fiersfens, and by the increased profits they :>• , are enabled to make more attractive their .. places of business, enticing more young iien to their destruction. They are • r better able to meet the political asses- ttients or calls upon them for campaign •purposes, and more Burely and certainly f,' corrupt and influence elections and legis­ lation, and so shape and fix things that ;•/ . state laws and city ordinances restrict­ ing and regulating the tariff are virtually « dead letters; and if, in any case the laws are enforced, we find it being done by ; aome law and order league, or citizen's committee, and not by the officers elected F ' ' And sworn to enforce the laws. High license, then, gives ue fewer saloons, more $oung men started on the road to ruin, • concentration of wealth in the hands of ibe few to more surely entrench them- " Selves in their damnable business, no f- j less whiskey sold or drank, and the laws y « more persistently and openly violated.
