j •« w [O kind of liu;ratur(; is more inspiring
.1^ I than biogr.ipliy. No one re.ids tiie
records of noble lives without a per-
ceptible impulse towards better and
^ nobler living.
Whatsoever things are true, just, honest,
lovely and of good report in human character,
are divinely commended to us and to be studied
for the very reason that they may inspire us
to like virtue. When we behold as in a glass
the glory of the true, the beautiful and good in
human character we are insensibly changed
into the same image.
He who makes widely known to his fellow-
men the good deeds of good men is a real
benefactor of his race. Especially is the biog-
raphy of reformers of interest and value if it
presents its subjects pictorially and in such a
way as to arrest thought and intensify impres-
sion. And ne.xt U) the impression made by
the ringing voice and the Hashing eye of the
orator is that produced by the "speaking" por-
trait which accompanies a biography and
throws something of the glory and -•^"
charm of personality over the page. ,

I' R E V A C I-
One object of this book is to introduce representative men ami
womcMi of the different temperanc(.' organizations to each other.
Better acciuaintanci; of th(! leading workers of all parts of the great
Republic and Canada with each other will surely increase confidence,
enlarge hope, and inspire greater faith in the speedy triumph of our
principles.
Another aim of this work is to ins|)ire the rank and file of the
Temperance Army with the same lofty enthusiasm, courage and
burning love of humankind which have constrained the men and
women whose faces appear on these pages. Brief as these plain
records are they will "speak between the lines" of much that is
nobly heroic and Christ-like in human character. They will, to all
who read them aright, be eloquent with the story of strife and
suffering, of sacrifices and success, of labors abundant and not in
vain, in the Lord.
For the form of the material the editor and his associates alone
are responsible, the facts and photographs being furnished upon
request (in many cases reluctantly,) by the subjects of the sketches.
There is no order of merit or honor in arrangement, and no attempt
to (latter vanity or e.xaggerate the record. ^
Of the limitations and imperfections of the work no one can be
as sensible as the editor. Of the difficulties of such a compilation
one can have no adequate conception unle.ss, indeed, he has attempted
a similar compilation. No e.xemption from errors of judgment or
mistakes in the execution of the work is claimed, though much care
has been exercised.
A few of the leaders are omitted because they have respectfully
declined a place in the volume; others, doubtless, have been overlooked
by those making up the lists. The list here presented is by no means
exhaustive, and should the present volume meet a kind reception it
will be followed by a companion volume, " The Temperance Leaders."
Attention is called to the Second Part of the present volume, in
which are to be found some selected speeches and articles of great
importance. It is hoped that temperance workers in every land may
here find hints and helps of practical value.

;T is //w hook I introduce, not the |K'o|)le. It is
I a ijlfasaiit office, for in such a case one has
a freedom which would be treason upon tiic
Y/J^A platform. He may give himself uj) to the
* introducer's delight of saying (M1 ijE^J^*_^

"ski()ped" without offense, or snubbed f"
without ever finding it out. ^
The scheme seems admirable, causes ^ ■<**
do crystali/.e about persons, and in these compact
sketches there is anchorage and cargo for many
a busy mind, and romance too, and poetry — for as
one turns these leaves he needs very little imagina-""*^
tion to read, in both the faces and the letter press,
true stories of woman's love and sacrifice, and man's
struggle and victory, stranger than any fiction, and such
" tales of the border " of the world's greatest war, as n
Scotch Wizzard ever put pen to.
The cusade of the Prohibitionists has
no parallel in history; other wars have
been against enemies, or, as in 'he ;
case of civil wars, againsf friends, who
drew off behind a definite proposition and
bravely fought until they lost or won.
Tills is war upon enemies who will not
fight nor even run away, but nestle up so close we
cannot strike, who say "we are with you heart and soul —
<5«/"— "we will go with you 'co/ien," "we are for you —

INTRODICTION.
//" — " W(- are Prohibitionists as tiuiiviihia/s, but officia/ly, something
less, or somethinjf mor(\ or something iiiclefinitc.
We have to strik<; at combinations and jjarties in which good
and bad arc blendt'd, so we cannot attack the one without s(;eming
to do violence to the other. We have to argue against silence,
criticise prayers, restrain our hand b(;cause we cannot distinguish
sycophancy from ignorance;.
The fortifications of the saloon are the pillars of the Church.
The citadel of saloon politics is "s|)iritual wickedness in high
places." We have to face the double treason (jf citizens who defy
the Church and the Constitution, and take up arms against them —
for money, and other citizens who do surely love both, but
who in the vestments of the one, and under the flag of the other,
furnish aid and comfort to their deadliest enemy — for money. No
wonder .some of us have grown uncharitable ! No wonder some
have gone back ! No wonder some, confused by the bitterness of
defeat at the hands of the Church members, have cried out against
the Church ! No wonder we have said hard words !
No such war was ever waged. No such bravery ever met such
meanness. And, notwithstanding 1 myself am in some humble sense
one of their numbers, I make bold to say that the cause of
Prohibition has raised up a new and better breed of men and
women in America ; and in the statesmanship of the future, the
strain will tell for God and home and country, in patriotic fiber
such as modern politicians never dreamed of. For one thing, in that
statesmanship there will be the voice and hand and heart of woman
as well as man, in due admixture, that is equally, enthusiasm for
cleanness, passion for sacrifice, necessity to love, insensibility to fear.
One sees, at a glance into these faces, why the cause they
represent is called a "movement." These are |)reachers "sent."
Not one of them a "professional." Not one a "place hunter.''
Not one but got a heart ache with his orders Not one but
knows he should have hatred for his wages. Men and women in
equal honest fellowship, they have built thus far the great reform
with never a breath of scandal, their enemies themselves being

judges. Di) you fear the effect of equal suffrage .'' Look at the
Prohibition leaders in Canada and the States ! They have been in
"practical politics" for a quarter of a century, and have not yet
discovered a crooked man or an uninodest woman. Our travelling
men are lovers of their own homes, and motherhood is honored by
our talking women. In the soil of this m<'vement bossism, partyism,
sectionalism, raceism, sectism cannot grow for, in the words of
Frances Willard, " wc wage our peaceful war for God and home
and every land."

bibi'd a love tor na-
ture, bei'Oinin^ a
landscape painter
and a teacher of it
to private classes.
She was married at
an early :i^c to
Isaac Marsh, an in-
ventor and paten-
tee. Since then
tlieir home lias been
at Milton, North
Co., IVnn. She has
been an active mem-
ber of the Lutheran
Church, and a Sun-
da\' schoi>l teacher
for over 25 years.
Her attention was strong"ly directed to the manifold evils of the
drink traffic early by an unfortunate marria^fe of a near relative,
and by the many painful evidences that ev-n boys, reared under
t ic influences of the Church and Sunday School, .ire not safe when
exposed to its temptations. She has used tverv '.nfluence within
h;?r reach of helping^ alonj^ the Prohibition cause. Slie claims to
bj one of the first of the Prohibition Party, as far as an unfran-
chised woman can be. She has tried to do well her share in edu-
catingr public sentiment, and has been instnunental in distributing
a large amount of temperance literature to farmers and others at
fairs. It may well be said of her, "She has done what she could."
GI':OUC.K IIARMAN LKKS was born in Hamilton. Ont.,

Oi lober, 1873, he
joined Relianc e
Lodjje, L O. C;. T.
Five \ears later he

Vice-Councilor in 1H94, and Cirand Councilor of <.)ntario in 1S9S.
He is Adjutant-Cleneral o\' the Knights for the Dominion. He
identifies himse'f with every movement for (he destruction of the
drink traffic. In politics he has Conservative leaning's, but is an
advanced Prohibitionist, and will vote Prohibition first. In Jan.,
1S94, he was elected to the City Council, and inspired the move-
ment resulting in the reduction of licenses; was re-elected in 1895.
He is an orjfanizer and worker rather than a speaker. In 188,^ he

After his conver-

very active and usi -

writes of him that, " Probably no man has ever done more in si- -
teen years to free men from the curse of nun. His wonderf' I
command of language, his rare ability to read human naluri*, h ^
matchless eloquence, .'ind Christ-like love for the fallen, made hi 1
fi most successful reformer. Many who were well acquainted wi'li
him said they knew of no person who was his equal. For mont' >■
he often would speak, over and over again from the same pi. '-
form, and always to large and si>ell-bound audiences. All tli il
time he was a great sufferer in consequence of a bai' y
injured limb, which finally closed his wonderfully useful lif s

seals to his ministry
h.'ive been very
many. As the result of his labors about 800 converts have been bap-
tized. He has also written much and well, both poetry and prose.
His pastor.'ites have been : Miiiml Morris, N. V.; Zanesville, O. ;
Norwich, N.Y., and Evanston, III. At Zanesville be was leader ol
the Murphy .Movement, associated with Rev. Edward I'ayson Ham-
tiuind, and the results were felt for >;ood throuffhout the city. He
has been, for years, in active sympathy with the " Thiril P.art)'
Movement. " He has been twice nominated by the Prohibit'n Party
as candidate for the Assembly, anil once for Coii^fress. Few men
have been more fearless Jind outspoken in their hostility to the wholi^
drink traffic. Hon. John P. St. John, Prof. A. A. I Iopkins,and others
of their class, esteem him as .a man " in dead earnest " in his work.
REW MIRAM \V. GIKFORD, Ph. I)., the popular pastor of
First M. E. Church, Howell, .Michijcaii, is a n.itive of the Province
of Ont.irio, but ot
Puritanic and Revo-
lution.iry stock. He
was born in New-
I'astle, Ont., June
,?rd, 1851. He is a
self-maile man, hav-
inij inaile his own
w;iy in the world
sinci' twelve yi*ars
of ajfe. Not beiiiK
able to carry out
his cherished plans
for eompletiiifr a
college coursi' of
eilueation, he set
himself resolutely
to the t.'isk of pi'r-
sonally mastering .1
course, and after
years of patient
effort received, on
ex.amin.'it ion, the
degrees of Ph. B.
and Ph. n. In early
life he identified
himself with the
temperance move-
in e n t , a n d has
always since done
what he could for its adv.incemenl. His work on the platform on
these lities has been chieliy in the cause of Local Option .and Consti-
tutional .Amendment. On tlu- pl.itform and through the press he has
taken a leading stand regarding "The Sin of the License System."
He began his work as a Methodist minister at the age of 20, and that
has been his gre.it life work. In the pulpit, as well as on the plat-
form, he h.as been very popular and successful. He is also an .author
of considerable note. Among his published works, which have been
extensively circulated, are, " Baptism in a Nutshell, " " IngersoUism
Cnm.isked, " " Laws of the Soul, or the .Science of Religion and the
Future Life," the last of which has attracted considerable attention.

HON. HI':NRY W. RLAIR, of Manchester, N. H., ex-l'. S.
Senator, is one of the best known Prohibition speakers, authors
and lejfis';itors of
the I'liiled Slates.
He was born in
Campion, N. H.,
Pec. 61 h, iSt4.
His parents died
while he was yoiiiiK,
and he was left
mainly on his own
r I' s o u r I- e s . H i'
I'.'irneil iiumey with
which to pay his
w.'iy at s c h o o 1 .
Later on he studied
law, and w is ad-
initted to the Har in
|S5<). Duriiif; the
ffiv.it Civil War he
served some time as
.'in oHicer, anil w:is
t w i c e s e v e r e 1 y
wounded, anil so
ilisabli'd ;is to be
mustered out in
consequence. He
was elected a mem-
ber of the N. H.
H o u s e of Repre-
sentatives in 1866,
and of the Senate
two years later. He w.is, later on, elected to the Nat. Congress,
where he served for years anil took a prominent position, especially
on hnances and other important reforms. In 1876 he introduced in
Congress the movement providiiiff for Nat. Prohibition, and made
a very able and elaborate speech al that time, which has been an
important addition to Prohibition literature. It struck at the manu-
facture and distribution anywhere throujfhout the nation, as well as
the sale. His position was that the I'roliibition of the .sale by States
merely is but a partial measure, and can never result in a complete
success. A few years ajfo he published a jjreat book, "The 'Tem-
perance Movement, or the Conflict of Man With Alcohol."

.'ind as pastor in

been a stalwart
Prohibitionist for
eiffhteen years,
never fjivinn an iin-
I'ertain sound on
Ihis siibjeel. His
.iddress on "Ooli-
.ith of the Still, and
David of the Sheei>
fold," portrays
these |H'rsoiia^es in
the facts of the present combined with the incidents of the (Kist.
This Goliath is proud, contemptuous, defiant, immense propor-
tions, never been conquered. Oavid, humble, IrusliiiK in the Lord of
Israel, uses, for the overthrow of his foe, a smooth stone from the
brook. Votes were formerly ffiven by c;islin(r a (K-bble. The ad-
dress, coveriiiff the rise, jfrowlh, and ultimate conquest of the Priv
hibition sentiment, as in analo^^y of the birth, life, scenes, death and
resurrection i>f Jesus Christ, is a lo);ical discourse, bristlinj; with
facts of dominant parties, double dealing-, recreant church members,
and various movements of political parties to destroy Prohibition.
The climax represents the dram-shop closed, and the Church, from
Bishops to class-leaders, acknowledging- Christ enthroned.

JONN H.
Au^^ _>3, 1S17.
CiOClllI was born at Landj^ate, Kent Co., Kn^.,
He came to America in earlv bovhood, anil soon
became a " victim
of drinkin)^^ habits,"
and dej^enerated
into a '* sol." In
his dt^ji^raitation he
came to bt'lieve that
every mans hand
was aj;aiiist hi m ;
that he hail not,
after his mother's
death, a friend in all
the earth. He was
rescued, not by the
cyclone oft he Wash-
in jj;^ I oni a n niovi*-
nient which swept
i> ver I he count r v
about that liiiic, I>ut
by the still small
voice of personal
)U-rsu<'isit>n. He at
oiM'c dedicated him-
self to the temper-
ance reform, and
soon ileveloped rare
powers of oratorv.
His i>lalform ahiliiy
was marvelous ; his
stories were full of
dramatic lire and
pathos, his humor kindly and keen, his wit trenchant, while his
j;estures were so lorcchil ihat he well deserved the title bestowed
upon him by an admirinj^f Teuton of "the man dot talks init bis
coat tails." His tenderness for the erring; was limitless, and
numerous are the stories of his self-sacrilicinj^ charit v. The writer
will never foi^et his marvelous address delivered a year or two
before his decease to a Chautauqua audience of seven thousand
|Vople, nor the thrill and p i^s of his appeals to both reason and
cinscienee. the \ast assembly swaying; beneath his bursts t>f
oratory as the trees before the tempest. His death left a void in
every reformer's heart.

The familv returned
to the Western Re-
serve, Ohio, .\fter
that time she w.is
, thrown much on her
__. I own resources, for
years, depending
on her own ener>;y. She was reared a Presbyterian, and was a
regular atlcndant of the Sunday School. For years past she^has
been an active member of the M. E. Church. Her sympjithies have
ever been much drawn out in behalf of the younjf, always desir-
iiiK' to speak a kindly word or do a kindly act, especially towards
those wlii> have not had the ailvantajjes of >food lrainin)r or of com-
fortable homes. She has been an ardent temperance worker and
Prohibitionist for years, desiriiiff to help hasten the day when the
leffalized drink traffic shall be removed from the land. She is an
office bearer in the W. C. T. U. and the G. T. , and was a mem-
ber of the Int. Sup. I.odjfe .Session, held in Pes Moines, Iowa, in
1893. Her home is 311 Washington Street, Steubenvllle, Ohio.

ot British C'olumbia.
He is also asso-
ciated with the Sons
t>f Temper.'ini'e, be-
ing at Ihe present
lime .1 member of
the Cirand Lodge
of that organiza-
tion. It is Mr. Mo-
Cain's intention, we
learn, to shortly
make an extended
tour, visiting and
addressing the tem-
perance lodges of
his own and other Provinces. In 189J, when the Hudson Bay
Comp.iny's famous " Beaver "-—the first steamship lo .Ameriea,
and the first on Ihe Pacific — went to pieces near Vancouver,
McCain gained a lasting name for himself by securing a large
quantity of the ship's copper and bronze and issuing a pat-
ented .souvenir medal made of this historical metal. In his
"History of the S. S. Beaver,"- a neat little volume of one
hundred pages, — he gives a thrilling description of his last
trip to tile wreck, on which occasion his companion was
drowned, while his own escajH" trom the same fate was indeed
strange.

by :in exeinpl.ary
Christian nuTther,
to whom he owes
much for his ri'li^-

tlu* inlluences that
led liim to choose

Ri:\'. K. H. STRATTON w.is born in the township of Rich-
inoiid, I.ennox Co., Out., in 1H38. Mis early adv.iiitages were few.
Though unable to
obtain a liberal
eiliication in the
schools, he m.ade
the bi'st use of bis
lime in gleaning
wh.at knowledge he
coiilii. Hi'w.ascon-
viMted to Clod in his
sixteenth year. He
commenced teach-
ing .it iS, ,ind at 22
he entered the min-
istry of the M. E.
Church, and be-
came one of her
most vigorous men.
At the end of his
sixth year his breth-
ren honored him
with a seal in the
Cieneral Confer-
ence, a position
which he has oecu-
pieii ever since. He
was one of the fore-
most in the union
movement, and was
elected .Secy, of the
first I'nited Cieneral Conference. Mr. Sinitton has always been
a vigorous advocate of temper.ance and I'rohibition principles,
both by voice and pen. From infancy a total abstainer, almost
all teni|H'rance societies have found in him a trusty member
and an able ad\-ocate. In the Dunkin .Act he played his part.
In the Scott .Act cimpaign, as Secretary of the Hastings
Association, of which he was the chief mover in its incep-
tion, he devoted a large portion of his time in its advo-
cacy. It is s.afe to say that few ministers have done more
yeoman service in the pulpit, on the platform, in the Con-
ference, and elsewhere, in the interests of temperance reform,
than has the Rev. V. B. Stratton.

previously belonged refused to heed the majority vote polled for
that amendment. In i88(> he was chosen Dis. Sec. of the Nat.
Reform Association, and in 1889 Dis. Sec. of the .American Sab-
bath Union which he held three years, wiiming golden opinions
from the press and people. In all his reform work he constantly
opposed the sal)on as the source of all the evils he was called lo
combat. In 1869 he joined the travelling connection of the M. E.
Church, and is now pastor ,>f a iirominent church. Four years he
was a successful educator as Principal of Conference Seminary.

He has always fought the liquor traffic with every weapon he
could grasp. He is sometimes called the Kather of Prohibition

hi* w.'is, while Pri*-
sidin){ Klder of the
h'on ihi Lai' District,
brutally assaulted
by three armed
men, saloon sympa-
thizers. In 1884 he
left the Republican
Party anil became
one of the most
erticicnl workers of
I h e Prohibi t i on
Party. Stationed
in Sioii\City, low.i.
in 1885, ;i citv with
30,000 people, fifteen churches, ;ind too saloons ruiinin)Jf in defiance
of the State Prohibitory law, he lectureil, raised funds, sij^tied peti-
tions for prosecutions, and fulminated from his pulpit, and in every
way boldly o]iposed the liquor intert*sts. Of course he incurred
the bitter hatred of saloon men, and of all who sympathize with
saloon interests, and on the eveninjf of Auffnst ,^rd, |H()6, while
ridinjJ^ back to .Sioux City from the iieijfhbi>rinjj^ town of Cireeii-
ville, he was set upon by f crowd of brewers, saloon-keepers
and ronj{hs, and was shot, and died almost instantly. His
assailants were tried and acquitted. How much influence the
great brewers of the West exerted lo secure this verdict it is im-
possible to state.
'' .ALKRKIVH. CLKA\ KS, author, and foreman in numerous
machine shops of Illinois, was born Sept. ylh, 1848, in Hoston,
Mass. His ances-
tors were of old
X'w Kn).(laiul stock,
his mot hers family
runnin>^ back to the
l').ilon members ot
the Mayflower com-
pany, her fore-
fathers being of-
ficers in the wars
with Cireat Britain.
His father was an
.Abolitionist, <'i Lib-
erty and Free Soil
partisan, and a Kre-
niont anil Lincoln
dy eil - in -the- wool
follower until the
fall of Babylon in
the slavery strug-
gle. .Mr. Cleaves
has resided in
.Aurora, 111., since
1883, and has been
a member of the
Aurora City Coun-
cil three times, as :i
r;idic;il Prohibition-
ist, among high and
low license members. Of late years the Prohibitionists have put
a city ticket in the field. He was m.irried in 1874 lo Miss ,Mary
Henderson, of Springfield, 111., and has six children living, one
son .ind five daughters, having lost two sons. Believing in the
duties of sobriety, righteousness, and godliness, he has decided
th.it drunkenness, being a great national vice, should be counter-
acted by temperance in personal coiulncl; that the saloon busi-
ness, being a great national crime, should be removed through
the political action of a National Prohibition Party; and that license
voting, being a sin against Clod, can be reached only by theocratic
law, or the withdrawal of Christian fellowship from individual Chris-
tian.* or Church organizations that consent to such disorderly walk.

In i"i>nt;iei most of

God. Mr. Hone holds very strong convictions on the subject
of Prohibition, believing tli.il the man who signs a petition foi
license or supports a I'.irty favoring the license svstein, becomes
thereby responsible for the inevit.ible results of the tralVic. The

throughout Eastern Ontario, anil in his owit town enjoys the con-

the advancement of temperance and Prohibition principles has
been of an unobtrusive character, yet very pr.ictical, persistent
and successful. His influence has been felt in his own community
through the Large number i>f publii" meetings he has organiz'..'!,

rigid and fearless enforcement of law, and in other equally
practical ways.

she came to think deeply and prayerfully of the women with bur-

JOSKPH K. HKSS was born in Buffalo, N. Y,, July 16,
iH^i. He was of Cierman parentage, and was one of a family of
twelve children.
He wasted his time
.It school, ran aw.iy
at iK, and from that
time his course was
downwaril, swift
;ind sure. There
were periods ol
reformation, but
I hey were soon
over, and each step
brought him lower.
From i« lo 34 his
life was one of
almost incredible
wickedness. His
I'hief occup.'i I ion
was sali>on-keepiii)^
and prize-fijfhtinjf.
In 18K5 "Joe" was
livinjf in Rochester,
N. Y., with his wife
and three children.
He was at that lime
the proprietor of a
^amblin^den. One

strayed into a tem-
perance meeting'
conducted by the late P. A. Burdick. The speaker's words
bri>ujjht conviction to his soul, and a resolve which was never
broken, "I drink no more." The remaininK^ ei)jht years of his
life were noteil for his deep consecration to God and the temper-
ance reform, and for the larffe measure of success which attended
his work. .\t the time of his reformation he could not read or
write, !ind his lanj;uav;e was largely bar-room slanjj. He became
a clear thinker, a reailv :md forcible speaker and untiring worker
on the temp.'rance pl.itform — one of the foremost go.spel temper-
ance speakers. He w,is an ardent Prohibitionist. He died at his
home. Clarendon, N. Y., Oct. 4, 1893.

travelling through dreat Hritain and Ireland and the I'nited
States, wonderful sueeess attending him. He oblain-'d over a
million and a half signatures to his pledge in Irel<. .une, the
year 1S40 being the most remarkable in the work. Hetween 1S35
and 1S41 there was a falling oft" of between five and six million
gallons in the consumption of spirits in Ireland a startling proof
of the need and siieeess oi' his mission. Over (xxj.ooo signed the
pledge in America. While \'ice-!'res. of the I'nited Kingdom .Alli-
ance in iS5^he said : *' The principle of Prohibition seems to me the
only safe and certain remedy for the evils of intemperance."
REV. El'GKNE W. VAN DEVKNTER, P.O., was born
in Cass County, Mich., and educated in Western schools and on
lifesbatlletield. He
. ^ -^ — enteri'il the ministry

Church in 1^7-', and
has occupied some
pr«>minent pulpit s.
anil at pi esent is
the Superinti'ndent
o\ the Nevada Mis-
sion M. K. L'hurch.
Early in his minis-
try he saw the need
ot e.'irnest, aggres-
sive t emperance
work. I>uring the
campaign foi l*to-
hibilion in the Slate
o f K a n s a s . he
laboieil incessantly
on the ri>slruni and
through the press.
He is well known
I'crsonalh in Kan-
sas, California, u ul
Nevada as a tem-
perance w o r k e r
and lecturer. Many
thousands of his lec-
tures, " Thieves in
the Temple. Turn
ihe.Rasc.'ils Out," '* Mischief Workers and Evil Counselors in the
City." were published and freely circulated in Nebraska, the IXi-
kotas, California, and Pennsylvania. He expects to be present
at the g.and jubilee when the saloon will be '* counted out, " aiul
the home "counted in" in the politics of the American nation.
Then wife, babies, and the fireside will be of greater value than
revenue. His Prohibition creed is, "If the saloon traflic in in-
toxicants is a wide-spread and ever-growing evil, injurious to both
the health and morals of the people, then, according to the highest
authority in our nation, we have no right to continue it. No
Legislature can bart^ain away the public health, or public morals."

REV. CHARLES SMITH was born in Hull, Eng,, on June
■^, 1846. He is descended from a numerous Methodist pre.aching
lineage. He is a
nephew of Jackson
Wray, the renown-
e d preacher a n d
author, and the
latest of whose
volumes, "The Red,
Reil Wine," is pro-
nounced " the best
tempi'rance story
ever published." A
111 a r k e d resemb-
lance in the appear-
,'ince of uncle and
nephew is obvious
from the fact that
persons who never
saw the former
readily pi onounce
one oi' his earlier
photographs to be
the " up-to-d ate"
picture of the lat-
ter. Mr. Smith's
first temperance
work w.is ilone be-
fore he was in his
teens, as o n i' e a
week he visited the
saloons with temperance tr.icts and g.ive them to the inmates.
In 1870, by request of Dr. Punshon, he entered the Canadian
Methodist ministry, and has since that time always maintained
active inleresi in temperance atfairs. \ native genius of elo-
iiuence and of literary taste was inherited from bis mother,
and these have been cultivated by painstaking study .■iiid twenty-
six unbroken years of pulpit and |ilalform work. One of his
ministerial brethren, after hiviring him preach two sermons,
wrote to the "Cluardian"; "As a preacher he has few equals,
and still fewer superiors." His temperance sermon on "Winning
Fame with an Axe," and his address on "Temperance Optim-
ism," were pronounced masterpieces of eloquence.

been six ye.'irs President of the Women s (.'hrislian Temperanee
I'nion in one of the larjfest districts in the State, and in that
oHii-e ilisplays rare exeeinive ability in her methods of eon-
duetin^: the work. The honor of representinjf her Distriet at
National Conventions h.'is been i'i>nferred upon her five times, and
she enjoys the eontideiue and co-operation of her fellow workers
to the fullest extent. Her principles are pronounced, and although
not inelined to discuss politics, an old style politician always feels
dissatisfied and homesick after a talk on iiolitics with Mrs. Follett.
MRS. FANNIK H. CARR, of Camden, N. J., received hi r
initiation into agffresslve temperance work whilst laboring; with
the famous I'vati-
Kelisl, Hwifjlit L.
Moody, in Philadel-
phia, in 1H75. In
the room devoted
to the rescue of the
victims of Kiiiff .\l-

nifjhtly object les-
sons concerning the
trui' inwardness of
the moilern sum of
all villianies — the
1 1* ^,'1 1 i z e il liipior
IrafVic. In this, and
in the Murphy Cru-
sailc, she iearneil
that whilst these
aj^t'ni'ii's were I'es-
c.iinjr one victim,
the saloon was
makinjr .1 hundred
more. Thus she
came to see that the
objective point of all
intelliffent temper-
ance effort is Pro-
hibition. .And yet,
•vhilst emphasizing
this position, she has labored with j;reat success in ^fospel len>-
perance lines. Believintf that the only infallible remedy is deliv-
erance throujjh the Oreat Financipator, she never fails to point
the victim of rum to what she believes is tl...- sovereig^n cine. Be-
side her work along temper.'ince and Pi'ohibitii^n lines, Mrs. Ci'rr
has been engaged for twenty ye.'irs as an evangelist, not onlv in
her own (the Methodist) Church, but in those of sister denomina-
tions. Her original conviction concerning the only elTectual
method of dealing with the vexed prohlent — its entire prohibition —
has grown with increasing experience, illustrating the axiom that
"a heroic disease requires a heroic remedy." She represents the
American Temperance University at Harrinian, Teim.
OKOROE E. BRACKETT, editor of "The Maine Tem-
perance Record," and Grand Secretary of the I. O. G. T. for
Maine, was born in
Belfast, Me., and
has spent his entire
life there. He has
had an unbroken
membership in the
I. O. G. T. for ,15
years and has been
Grand Sec. for 22
years. He is well
known, not only
through the Pine
Tree Stale, but has
tlu* esteem and con-
fidence of large
numbers of the G.
T. army throughout
the world. He has
attended nine ses-
sions of the Right
W o r t h y G r a n d

laken active part in
their deliberations.
He etiits in good
style "The Maine
Temperance R e c -
ord," the oflficial
oigan of the Good
Templars of the
.Sl.'ite. In politics he is a Republican, aiul is thoroughly versed in
the principles of Prohibition and a loyal supporter of it at the polls.
It may be doubled if the record of his long membership of the
Order, coupled with hislirand Lodge office for over twenty years,
can b. duplicated in the I. O. G. T. He is married. He has
had many evidences from the Order of the wide esteem and un-
shaken confidence in which the Good Templars hold him, in the
many positions of trust conferred upon him. H's friends describe
him as a man loyal to the core, true to his friends and the cause
he represents, and |H'rsistent in his endeavors to ovarthrow the

"
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR AND THE SALOON.
BY JOHN G. WOOLLEY.
frhe following i> the atldreu of Mr. Wootley il the f>reat Chriit-
ian Kmlcavor Convention hel<l in July laiit in Hoston. The press of
that city acknowledge the wonilerful power of that address. The
Herald says : "Mr. VVoolley spoke with great inipressiveness. lie
wu dramatic and intensely fervid in style and action, lie did not
(ire ; he fascinated his listeners by his individuality, lie compelled
his auditors to closely watch him by his oratorical magnetism. The
effect of his scathing epigrams was greatly heightened by the fervid-
ness of his manner of hurling them at what he termed the 'voting
church.' Theneccssity of 'overcomingthesag of dirty party politics by our
Christian Kndeavor policy in this country' evoked another tremendoui
outburst of applause and yells. His 'may (lod give us grace and grit
to do our duty' was similarity treated, and when he asserted that he
would call 'wrong wrong in New York City, hell or Norway,' the out-
burst of approbation was terrifilc. He was cheered again and again,
and applauded in repented waves, when he told the Kndeavorers
'somelwdy must speak plainly, and, thank God, this is Boston
Common ! ' lie 'had no parish to keep in order,' and 'no trustees to
consult,' he gave as se(|uences, and this was again cheered. As he
neared the close nf his address he was shouted at to go on, but the
close came according to his prepared intention, and as Mr. Woollcy
resumed his seat another round of cheers and applause was given."]
THI'^ l)ewililLTiiig jKiradox of the C^hristian reformer in
these days is that he must sixiak of polities without
mentioning politics, unless, indeed, he feel constrained to say
something contemptuous of the only political party that
stands for the only politicnl thing that the church, politically,
stands for. You sinile, but that is the indis|x;nsal)le condition
of commanding the respectful attention -not to say cordial
sym[)athy of that touchy fugitive frotn tlivine justice that
goes by the alias of "Christian Public .Sentiment." I refuse to
try to do it. I hold my.self at no great value in these C)lym-
piads where the horse lee(;h's daughters, with I'vUtychus, Ana-
nia.s, Balaam and Jtidas rejjresent the church in dominant
politics, but incalculable star flights, l)eyond any fear of the
contemptible boycott that, under paiti of ecclesiastical
starvation and partisan rack and wheel and thumb-screw,
would ('onsign the greatest of reforms to worked-out mines
of txithos and old tales, or the more recent and even more
hojieless levels where sanctimonious expediency sorts junk
from the garbage of its two hundred and fifty thousand social
catch-basins and hooks rags from the ashes of its own acces-
sory arson.
I should despise myself for such cajjacity of shrinkage
in my manhood as would fit me to scull an argument along
the devious larvic-breeding lagoons that go by the name of
"(Hjlicy" creeping on under Uire poles, navigating lily ponds
with half a crew hoisting distress signals and the other half
heaving the lead reaching tip for the desiK;rate help of
wreckers and down for the oo/.y assurance of mud, when just
outside a little bar of sand lay Cod's illimitable and unfath-
omable ocean of truth, with jwwer blowing a gale off shore.
it's a riGHT AND i'M IN IT.
This is a fight, and I, by the grace of (loil, am in it to
win, or lose, or suffer, as events dis|H)se, and 1 will not, now
nor ever, charge the enemy with hortatory turf, when hard,
hot, jagged facts are ready to my hand.
Away Iwck at the sky line of history, limned in heroic
outline on the flushing East of legendary time, whoever
looks may see a glorious crank, or, in theological language, a
minor prophet. .\nd like a bugle bl.ist of some blenched
and horror-stricken, but unflinching. Titan, sounding a chal-
lenge to perdition's envoy-extraordinary and minister-pleni-
potentiary, his voice splits the great tieep of twenty-five
centuries of cruelty, as rapiers of the lightning fl.ash through
summer clouds,and scandalizes the "good form" of decorous
and |)erfunctory litanism, hallooing, "Woe unto them that
supply drink to other men ! "
Voi(!es of his critics do not survive, but doubtless
prude, "per diem" orthodoxy shrunk aglList into its gabar-
dine, and said, "This Prohibitionist is a nuisance and a
seditionary." "You cannot make men solx;r by law."
"Statutes should never Ix; in advance of public sentiment."
That was the blunder of the (lolden Rule, the weakness of
the I ).;i:alogue, the farce of Sinai. "Pm as good a Pro-
hibitionist as he is, but not third jwrty." "He is throwing
his influence away." "He is setting the cause lack twenty
years." "He wants an office." "He is a sore-head." "He
is in it for money." "He is paid by Babylonish gold."
"The best we can do now is to work |)opular vices on
shares, confine them to the tenement districts and build
more jails." "Why does he not content himself with
scotching sin in general, or tweaking the nose of heterodoxy,
as the major prophets did?" "Noah made wine, and so did
David." "Solomon .said, 'Wine is a mocker,' a thing to

use — and so to sell — for medicine and pudding."

But he said, "Thcrf is no mu/zle in I'alestine that will

man's ideal; I refuse to Ix: careful for anythinj^, hut in
everything by prayer and thanksgiving let my wants he
made known untodod; I will stand U|x)n my watch-tower
and see what He will say unto me."
So I, least of the prophets of the great reform, a fugi-
tive from the black galleys of the pirate ship of drink's
des|)air, with the purple welts of a thousand whippings on
my heart, and whom it is as lawful for any priest, doctor or
drinkseller to entrap and damn as it is to kill a rat, have
come again, dead s|)ent with toiling up and ilosvn the land,
to tell you, in the name of the transcendent Citizen who
threw His vote away on C!alvary, what (lod has l)een saying
to me in the swish of the cat-o'-ninetails of two hundred
and fifty thousand licensed liastinadoes in this Christian
land.

me! If 1 held here in a crucible, white hot, the most scald-
ing, corroding and consummate curse of (lod, I would pour
it out upon the licjuor traffii- with a steatly hand!
Hut stopl Who knows how far that curse would burn
its way? Who is it, in the great wide Dominion and in
these States, that keeps the drink on sale?
MAGNA CHARTA A TRIFI.K. TO IT.
I hold up to you here the greatest public document the
world has ever seen. Magna Charta was a trifle to it. I am
afraid you cannot see the Ixjauty and suggestiveness of the
design. I..et me describe it in a word or two: The margin
is a silver trellis set up against a background of i,old, with
vines of morning glory wreathing to the top, and doves
mating in its verdurous meshes. The central picture repre-
sents a scene in a saloon. Back of the Ixir is the inevitable
mirror, flanked by decanters and pyramids of cigar boxes,
over it a dumb clock face, and over that the laconic,
rhetorical gem, "No Tick." To the right a sign, "Hot
Punch," and to the left another, "Tom and Jerry," and two
bartenders, one in the act of drawing l)eer and the other
putting a black bottle upon the lar. In front three men
are leaning, with glasses in their hands and cigars in their
mouths, and three others sit at a table gambling — one
holding up three fingers signing for more drinks.
Listen, while I read it :

THE SOVKRKKJN VOICK Of THK PEOPI.K.
That, I .say, is a legal document, the letters patent of a
great State, the sovereign voice of a great jieople, the
muniment of a great title, a royal bond and charter for the
safety of the saloon. I got it in Indianapolis, but you may
get the same thing in Boston -less ornate, as lienefits the
(juieter New England taste -or in Canada, or any State but
four, and the bargain is made and in process of fulfilment —
to put them back among the States of purchasable virtue.
That low, coarse, bestial instrument disgraces Indiana,
not only, but declares the law in the whole land to-day, for
although the Prohibitory States and towns issue no license
in their own name, they all and singular consent to this.
On your peril, pray for the mildew of Cod's wrath upon
the saloon. The petty, venial, criminal, infernal tyranny
and treason of the party Iwss have made every saloonkeeper
the people's licensee, and every one of us his licensor. And
less than two per cent, of us have ever entered a protest at
the general election !
CHRISTENDOM IS SALOONOOM.
Christendom is Saloondom, and 95 per cent, of male
church members are on the pay-roll of the drink — as
guagers, collectors, storekeepers or silence-keepers.
The litjuor traffic is an industrial and political trinity ; it
gears to the social system at the saloon, but gets its life in
the " still-hou.se " and its hopes of immortality in the still
church.
I have no word to utter here against the distiller, the
brewer, or the drink-seller. The public virtue was for sale,
they bought it at its own price, and paid for it in hard cash,
bloody dimes wrung from the hands of folly, poverty and
toil, and while they own it they have a right to enjoy and

profit by the usufruct. My voice i» to the voting church.
" Awake, thou that sleepcst, arise from the dead, and Christ
shall nive thuu light. Awake, awake, put on thy strength, ()
arm of the I-ord. I'ut on thy )>eaiitiful garments, O
Jerusalem. Shake thyself from the dust. Arise, loose
thyself, () captive (laughter of Zion, for ye have sold your-
selves for naught, and ye shall he redeemed without money!"
CHURCH RESOLUTIONS VS. SALOON HE-SOLUTION.
The case is l)etween church resolutions and saloon
resolution, plural versus singular, miscellany versus solidarity,
a [)ious sprinkling pot versus an ocean current of practical
politics, local option versus universal empire, multiplication
of fmctions, that is to say, division, pursuing the saloon,
which is an integer.
The difficulty, dimly seen for years, has crystallized
into the maxim, "TemiK-rance people ought to get together."
Of course we ought; l)ut wluTe? It hap|)ens at every
change of the moon that some flabljy phiioso|)her pushes
his [)eripatetic bandbox into the j)ublics(iuare, and challenges
the saloon to mortal lompromise upon some contemjjtible
Scanilinavian basis of profit-sharing, or the more brutally
straightforward and American niethoil of a fixed price for
taking civic honor out of politics, and for the debasement of
public virtue to the plane of stark revenue like a brothel,
and simijcrs to worn and anguished women and haggartl,
beggared men, as they crawl out of the wreckage of their
broken lives, " Behold how good and how pleasant it is for
saints and saloonkee()ers to vote together in unity."
THK HKIJ. I'HARISKK, WITH HONE.STV AT HALF MAST.
And when some heart-wrung man cries out .igainst the
truculent infamy, tli same ])hilanthropist sneers at him as a
new-washed, impmicnt drunkard, "over-scrupulous," "a
maligner of the church," "an auxiliaiy of the saloon," while
the Ijell I'hari.see, with honesty at half-mast, struts into
politics and delivers over the Christian vote into "a league
with death and a covenant with hell," and answers the wail
of stricken home.s, the voice of the church, and the plain
word of Ciod, with the pusillanimous logic of the bargain
counter : " It is not what we want, but it is cheap," and
then, upon election day, the voting church eagerly ambles
after a party leader to the polls and silently ratifies his offer
of a lease of (Jod's world to Satan for a mess of spoils, and
would mitigate the perfidy by saying that wrong is sometimes
right in politics. And that is a lie, as black as ever flapped
its bat wings at the glory of a sunset.
IN NEW VORK CITV, OR HELL, OR NORWAY.
And I, for one, dare stand apart and be a fool for
Christ's sake, and call wrong wrong, in religion or politics, or
New York City, or hell or Norway. For a man, a woman, a
church, a city, a state, or a nation, to "buy the truth and sell
it " is treason against the God of Truth, label it what you
may: "tax" in Ohio, " license " in Massachusetts, " mulct "
in Iowa or " bribe " in New York, it is a shame everywhere
and forever.
We would better stay a|)art eternally than get together
in the nicest wrong. These elastic empirics, who would
vivisect a living p<j|itical truth out of the politics of the
Republic, ought to know that they never can unite the faith
of the church u|)on a wiiked thing. How can " two walk
together unless they be agreed ? " Sin is the essence of
disagreement, fermentation, yeast, the one tremendous contra-
diction of the universe, (lod has endured the very atoms of
human dust with inability to lie still with evil. This is Mis
only visible guarantee of saving this world. "The wicked
are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, casting up
mire and dirt," dimiestic or Norwegian, just the same. No
man is wicked enough to agree with himself in sin. 'ITiere
is but one |)lace under the l)end of that sky, or over it, where
one human mind can conic to itself, or more than one can
get together, and that is in the "green |)astures" and beside
the still waters" of righteousness.
Hl'T ONK ISSl'E THAT COMMANDS
CHRISTIAN SVMI'ATHV.
I'NIVERSAL
Take a vote upon the various propositions that have
come up in this reform, and there is just (»ne that <an com-
mand the universal symiwthy of Clhristians, and that is that
"the saloon ought to die."
Then why not kill it I Why have we not voted it to
death long .igo ? The answer is very simple, and brings me
at once to the gist of this argument. We have not voted
the saloon to death because the ruling politicians would not
let us. How could they prevent? Are Christian men
slaves ? Yes, abject, motley slaves, contraband of machine
statesmanship, and annually put uji and sold ujwn the auc-
tion block of party.
I )o money joblx;rs loot the Treasury, and do the [)eople
cry out against it ? "Shut your mouth, you wildcat ignora-
mus ?" Who says that ? The p.irty.
Does monopoly grind the face of independent indus-
try, and does some faithful preacher or college professor
flame out .igainst the villainy? "Resign, you incendiary
Anarchist !" Who says that ? The party.
Do railroad corporations use the people's franchise to
their hurt, and do the |)eople dare complain ? "Silence,
you idiot !' Who says that ? The party.
THE FATAL FLEMISH IN A ['RESIDENTIAL CANOIDATE.
Why has Iowa violated the express will of her people,
and by a general statute compounded the felony of liquor
selling and consented to Ijecome the laughing stock of
courts ? Because she supposes that she has a statesman so
neutral-tinted that he can make an invisible race for the
Presidency between whiskey and water, and between gold
and silver, provided he can go before the party free from the
fatal blemish of hailing from a state that is unfriendly to the

peril of being steadfast.
Why has Christianity lx;en insulted in Ohio, and denied
the right of self defence against the saloon ? Because her

the House said that to estrange the saloonkeepers would

Why has the enforcement of the Prohibitory law of

Why does Maine's chief justice habitually insult the law
he has sworn to enfo ce, and permit himself to be known and
tlespi.sed as the salounkee|)er's friend in a Prohibition Stale ?
Because the party interests in that State recjuire that Chri.st-
ianity and crime should l)e politically harmonized by a flex-
ible judiciary.
Why did Michigan disfranchise a large numl)er of her
noble citizens ? Because they felt in honor bound to unite
against the ruling jwrty.
Why has New York disfranchised everylx)dy except
Piatt and Croker, the "twins" in the zodiac of dirt? Be-
cause tne recent wave of civic honesty in the city was a com-
mon menace to both parties, and so in self defence they
make the emjjire roblkjrs roost l)i-|)anisan.
And so throughout the land, the Christian vote cries
craven, hangs its harp up on the party willow on election
day und sings the party version :
All hail the power of Jesus' name,
Let angels prostrate rnll ;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And sell it, Lord and all.
THIS IS PLAIN, BUT NOT RANDOM, TALK.
This is plain talk, but not a word at random. Some-
body must talk plainly, and I have no parish to please, no
trustees to satisfy, no session to consult, no subscriiition list
to consider, no career to foster, no presiding elder has an
eye on me, no bishop counts me in his tlioce.se, and this is
Boston, the home of independent thinking and free speech.
The defeat of the church, the disgrace of the law, the
despair of reform, is the all but univers;il sub.stitution of par-
tyism for patriotism. This country will go straight for Pro-
hibition whenever it shall suit the interest or convenience of
the two great parties to let the people loose with the saloon.
We wait their pleasure.
Meanwhile a young Christian man arriving at his major-
ity and entering into resijectablc |)arty affiliations, must shed
his greatest and clearest political conviction, as one would
leave his mackintosh and rubbers at the door. But
in the face of that truth ninety-five per cent, of Southern
Christian men, and about forty-eight |)er cent, in the whole
country, pour out the blood of their civic virtue in defence of
a party which is the open enemy to Prohibition, and this they
do for the utterly unpatriotic and unworthy motive of "l)eat-
ing another piirty."
And again, ninety-five j)er cent, of the Northern Christ-
ian men, and about forty-eight per cent, in the country at large,
annually bind the Son of Codand lay Him on the altar of un-
patriotism, as a sin offering for a party organization which is
as destitute of honor to the church as the moon is of atmos-
phere, and they do this because they hate another party.
THE VOTINC. CHURCH IN THE C.ETHSEMANE OF A C.ENERAL
ELECTION.
(Quadrennially, the voting church dissolves into a bi-par-
tisan mob and goes to the Oethsemane that we call a general
election, where the Son of Man lies on His face and prays,
and saloon-keepers, distillers, brewers, gamblers, and all
unclean broods of politicians, scoffers and lilx!rtines
seize Him, put a scarlet robe on Him, arm Him in derision
with a reed in His right hand, plait a crown of thorns and
put it upon His head, bow the knee before Him, crying. Hail
Saviour of Men! and then spit upon Him and smite Him in
the face, and ninety-five percent, of the Christian voters stand
with the mob and do nothing until they are challenged by a
party, and then they say, "We do not know the man to-day,"
and the politicians drag Him to the polls and crucify Him
there, and as He staggers up the bi-partisan Aceldama they
hoot, and jeer, and call him "mugwump," "Sunday-school
statesman," "fanatic," "fool," and subservient priests wag their
heads and s;iy, "He unilertook t(X) mui-h," and when He gasps
and faints from pain they thrust the vinegar and gall of party
ridicule and hate into his mouth, and party Ixjsses gamble for
his garments and five millions of His discip'.es stand by until
the polls close to have the poor privilege of seeing their
despised, deserted, broken-hearted Lord buried and His
grave sealed with the stamp of internal revenue.
THE OLD POLITICAL PARTIES ARE GUILTY.
Have I made you understand ? I tell you that when
the Democratic jxirty looks into the face of a dead drunkard
his wounds itlenlify a murderer, and open and bleed afresh.
And nearly half of you are Democrats! And upon the
staring wiUl eyes of the broken-hearted woman who was
murdered last night by the frenzied brute who called her
"Mother" the Republir.in party is photographed, a co-assa.s-
sin with the saloonkeejier and the felon-maniac, her son.
And nearly half of you are Rejiublic^ins.
I'or us to be mixed up with that is at once infamous
and imlx;cile, for we are not cowards, traitors or murderers
at heart, but victims of |>arti.san education, slaves of partisan
habit, tools of the vilest hypnotism of parti.san suggestion.
If we l)elieve it to comport with Christian profession to
keep silent about the saloon at general elections, or that it
is iiulifferent what we would do about it there, we ought to
expunge our top-lofly resolutions like honest men, and st' p
the braggart lies that have been published in our name.

Be patient with me! I know you will scorn to take
such action. Well, then, for the sake of the chivalry of

your youth, the truth of the church, stand up like hrave

1 )() not a,sk me to instruct you how or when you may

No man can tell you that, for no man's mind is l)ig enough
to calculate the tension of ideas, the strength of organiza-
tions, the lines of least resistance, the resultant of infmite
forces and antagonisms, the jiercentages of friction, or the
(|uantum of inertia in the civic world. I have Init one clear
vision to-day about it, and that I have come a thousand
miles to give you. It is this: We must overcome the sag of
dirty politics. How ? det out of it! Hut where shall you
go ? Never mind. (let out of the slough, and then inquire
the road.
lAit me Ik; very clear about this. For instance, you are
a young man, a Presbyterian, a Christian Kndeavorer, a
Carolinian and a Democrat, and the election is coming on.
Your church says :
" No political party has the right to ex|)ect, nor ought it
to receive, the support of Christian men so long as it stands
committed to the license policy, or refuses to put itself on
record in an attitude of open hostility to the saloon."

The United States Societies of Christian Endeavor are
pledged to annihibte the saloon in politics. Your State is
impoverisheil, betrayed, debauchetl by it, and your party is
pledged not to interfere.
What are you going to do about it? Your Populist
neighbor says, C^ome witli us and we will crush monopoly,
throttle the banks, and establish the saloon upon a less
obnoxious and more profitable basis. He may lie right
about monopoly, but that ini({uity is not so clear to you as
the saloon is, and the church has not yet taken position as
to it, and you do not feel ready to rip up the financial sy.s-
tem about which great statesmen appear honestly to differ
very widely, and you cannot consent to engage in improving
saloons.
What are you going to do about it ? The Prohibition-
ists say, Come with us and help us enfranchise every woman
in the land, and we will vote the saloon out. Hut you are
not ready to enfranchise women, nor hopeful of the effect of
their influence in politics.
What are you going to do about it ? Your Republican
friend says. Come with us and we will do you good. Well,
what good ? Republican victory means many things prob-

go? I don't know, I tell you. Hut rememlwr the call of

WH.VT CHRISTIAN CITIZKNSHIP MKANS.
Christian citi/en.ship means at lea.st two things — Christ-
ianity and citizenship. The voting church, by trying to be
true to parties, has l)e< n untrue to both. The Christianity
that stays in dirty [wrties h)ses its savor precisely as the
fishes of Mammoth Cave have lost their eyes. !'olitics is
the average virtue. The first duty of a Christian is to raise
the average by as much as his character weighs. Because
we have lost sight of that, the parties have lieen able to dis-
franchise civic Christianity and transmute the power of the
church into the saloons.
There are men enough at this convention to stop that
now, and we have no business to ever pass another resolu-
tion against the saloon until we have made up our minds to
march out of that fellowship. To compromise with wrong
is a surreniler of integrity. The supreme business of
Christian Endeavor is to bring Christianity to |)ar. If it
were cajiitalized to-day u()()n a liasis of five million shares at
one dollar each, they would be selling in the political stock-
exchange at less than five cents apiece. That is a|)i)alling,
but it is true. Last general election ninety-five jkt cent, of
Christian men consented to shut their eyes to the saloon to
hel|) one moderate drinker beat another to the White
House, and yet that ninety-five jh-t cent, are continually ask-
ing us to projKise something practical. Wash your hands ;
that is practical.
NO PARTY OWNS MK. I SPKAK KOR A CI. KAN CHURCH.
Somebody is sure to say that I have sjioken here in the
interests of the Prohibition party. I make you my witnesses
th.it I do not. No party owns me ; no party claims mi.
I speak in the interest of a clean church, and in my judg-
ment when tho church cuts loose from dirty politics there
will come a new cleavage of voters, new ideals of citizenship,
new measures of candidates, new meaning of loyalty, new
victories, and a new country, and the Prohibition jxirty will
have done its work and will di.sap|)ear. except in its one
clean, noble page of American history, and there will be a
new party either for Christians or for saloon-kee[)ers, for no
honest party can hold Iwth. I sjieak in the interest of a
robust and vital Christianity, that will not lie under obliga-
tion to saloons, nor mix with cowardice or lies.

General Grant says, " There is a moment in every
battle when the first advance means victory." The battle
royal of the centuries is on. The church that never lost a
fight with wrong, or ever succeeded in a stratagem against
it, faces the saloon ujKin the fairest field and
fairest term the universe could furnish, the ballot-
box of a republic wlu'e, by divine right, the people
rule. The voice of the trimmer is heard in the church and
the state, saying "Let the saloon alone one more campaign,
and let me lead you round about the good by stealth and
the aid of enemies." Away with trimmers, great or small!

THE PROGRESS OF THE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.
An Address by the Rev. I. K. Funk, D, D., at the State Convention of the New York Prohibitionists
in Saratoga, September, 1895.
DELECATES of the Prohibition Party Convention of the
State of New York, greeting : Permit me first to con-
gratulate you that the name of your party is still Prohibition.
The Prohibition party h.is been for years a stubborn,
righteous minority. Said De 'roccjueville : " Stubborn
minorities are the hope of republics." Especially true is
this when a minority stands for conscience, for a truer, better
manhood, for a nobler nationhood. President Seelye, some
time l)efore his death, declared that the I'rohibition party
was the most hopeful sign above the political horizon.
Charles Sumner was profoundly right when he said : " If
you wo. lid save the nation you must sanctify it as well as
fortify it." 'l"he Prohibition party stands for political
sanctification, a quickened and a quickening conscience in
politics. This is one of the reasons for its continued
existence.
WHAT DOES THE BALANCE SHEET SHOW?
What does the balance sheet of the Prohibition party
reveal ? If we have done nothing for the present generation
or for posterity we should .step aside. Posterity ? " Why,"
said Pat, when urged to do something for it, " why should I
do anything for posterity ? What has it done for me ? " We
differ with Pat.
A ship heavily laden, sailing in the (lulf Stream, was
caught in the doldrums. I )ay after day the surface current
was moving against the ship's course, but not a breath of air
stirred the sails. 'l"he hearts of the sailors were failing them.
It seemed useless to raise or shift a sail, or move the rudder.
The vessel lay in a dead calm and the drift was contrary ;
but after a time a reckoning was taken, and lo ! the ship had
gained hundreds of miles. All the time the sailors were
complaining and discouraged, while all the surface indications
were that the ship was moving backward, the strong
undercurrent of that wonderful river in the ocean with its
thousand hands had gripped hold of the bottom of the vessel
and was pulling it toward the desired haven.
In 1888 the Fisk campaign xeemed to have left the
Prohibition party in the political doldrums. No pulling, no
tugging, of sails has appeared to help. There has been a
world of lamentations tind croakings. The surface indica-
tions have bt;en against us; here and there a hand hxs
dropped discouraged, and several of our best known leaders
have gone beyond the veil and shadow. Seven long yc.nrs
have passed. Some say that we have made no progress;
some that we have drifted backward. Let us take a reckon-
ing and see how true it is that __
THE (;RE.\T undercurrent that SETS TOWARD
RIGHTEOUSNESS
throughout the universe has all these years been carrying
the party onward toward final victory. To change the
figure, we have been as one walking westward on an east-
ward-bound lightning express. While he is taking one step
westward he is carried by the train a hundred steps east-
ward. Our party has been carried by a power that encom-
passed us, and is greater than we, onward and upward.
Let us at the opening of this convention see where we
are. Let us look at tl>e credit side of the Prohibition party
balance sheet.
Note first this fact : The party has been a leading factor
in getting conscience into politics. It is to-day,' and has
been for years, the grandest and most potent educational
force, moral and political, in our nation. Its steadfa.stness
for the right, its unflinching courage, its clearness of vision
along moral, political lines, its cheerful self-abnegation, and
its endless s.icrifices for conscientious convictions, are a
leaven that is working irresistibly in the American meal-tub.
THE WAII, OF the CROAKER.
Some one croaks, "But the Prohibition party is not
large." A bit of leaven ii not large, and yet it has in it that
that leavens all the meal. But another exclaims, "The party
has not grown." The (iolden Rule and the Ten Com-
mandments are not a particle larger than when first iitterec',
and yet all through the ages they have been lifting the world
higher and higher, and never so effectively as to-day. The
test is not si/e, but what that si/e contains, (lod chooses
tlie apparently little things, weak things, of the world to work
His wonders and confound the mighty.
Ten years ago politics stood for greed. "To the victors
belong the spoils," "All is fair in politics," "Politics 'a
t»i I^^W^f!-
I
lO
PROHIBITION LEADERS
li
. I
politics," were common maxims that ruled ; and the name
politician was a synonym for trickster from Maine to the
Ciolden Cate and from the I>akes to the (lulf. To the old
party politicians the Ten (Commandments and the (lolden
Rule were iridescent dreams. Against all this the Prohibition
party has heen an organized, untiring, immovahle protest.
Every year the county and state Prohibition jwrty platforms
and nominations were the voice of conscience, of a higher,
truer, political ideal ; "a still small voice" they may have
been, but they were a voice that has lieen heard from one
end of the country to the other, heard and at last somewhat
heeded. The day-dawn of <-leaner, truer politics in America
is beginning to be recognized everywhere.
THE POLITICAL CONSCIENCE IS GROWING.
Nor will our [xxrty have done its jx-rfect work until the
most sacred spot to the |x.-ople, in all this land, will Ix- the
ballot-box ; until a dishonest act there, corruption there, will
be recognized as the greatest possible crime against the
Republic. To fool, to cheat at the l«llot-l)ox, is treason, and
such treason must be made simply odious. During the past
decade the political (conscience of the American people has
grown visibly many a cubit. I-et me repeat, it is to-day
recognized as it has never before been recognized that the
safety of the people is the purity of the ballot-box and the
sacredness of law. 'I'hat is one of the chief things our party
has been contending for. The results have justified the
clearness, the accuracy, of the insight of President Seelye
when he saw in the Prohibition party the most hopeful sign
above the political horizon. Whatever may lie in the future
the party is "safe in the arduous task of things done."
But let us look at another cla.ss of figures on the credit
side of the balance sheet. Said Savonarola of reformers in
his day, "We are so busy praying that we have not time to
hear dod talk." Prohibitionists are so busy looking for the
White House, for strictly party successes, that they do not
•see the splendid victories and prohibition that they are gain-
ing on every side.
Since 1884, when the existence of the Prohibition jMrty
began to be recognized, what changes for the bet.er have
Ijeen accomplished I How much more clearly understood
to-day than then are the facts and arguments foi total
abstinence and Prohibition ; how much clearer and more
uncompromising are th« official utterances of all the churches!
The.se facts and arguments have become recognized and
potent forces in the management of nearly all railroads and
of many manufactories and other businesses, "and they have
become troublesome factors in politics." Said Mayor
Schie . ". the "ther day : "The liciuor question is giving me
more .' ubie than any other."
IT HAS MAKE A ROOSEVELT POSSIBLE.
Imagine if you can ten years ago, that clear-eyed, con-
scientious man, to-day the pride of New York, and an honor
to manhood— I mean Theodore Roosevelt, taking by the
throat the New York saloon-keepers, backed by the multi-
millionaire brewers and distillers, and forcing them to the
jail doors until they fell on their knees and cried for mercy !
That is a spectacle for men and angels to rejoice at to-day.
The Prohibition jxirty agitation has made that possible.
In passing [H-'rmit me to add that these cowardly, cring-
ing, hypocritical New York saloonkeej)ers now ask that they
be counted respectable. On what ground do they make
their impudent claim ? They claim it l)ecau.se they are now,
they say, law-abiding; and several of the metrojiolitan dailies
-ire patting them on the back and declaring they are good
fellows, and the stigma of law-breaking should Ix." removed
from their business. Nonsense I These saloon-men honor-
ed the law only after Roosevelt ami the judges held the jail
doors open before them, and they, after many attempts at
escape, found that it was either jail or olx.'dience. Convicts
at Sing Sing deserve as much credit for olxidience. Asked
tha commercial drummer of the local postmaster, "Is John
Jones honest?" "Honest I" was the reply. "He's got to be ;
nobody 'II trust him."
HONtST HWAUSE NO ONE WILL TRUST THEM.
Who imagines that the liquor men of New York are
really penitent ? Let a Tammany .saloon sympathizer, or a
weak-headed or a weak-hearted jiolice commi.ssioner, like
Wells of Brooklyn, take Roo.sevelt's place, and let the timid
Brooklyn mayor take Mayor Strong's place, and presto !
what a change we would see in the (jenittnt saloon-keei)ers !
The change wrought in the toad at the touch of "Ithuriel's
spea r" at hell's gate would l)e altogether outilone.
" The devil sick, the devil a monk would l>e.
The devil well, the devil a monk was he."
Milton's Prince of Darkness tells us of the value among
those of low morality of "vows made in [win." Such vows
cannot be built upon. The li(iuor men of New York City,
on their knees swearing allegiance to the Prohibition Sunday
laws, branding fal.se for ever more the hoary-headed lie that
Prohibition can't prohibit, is an jbject-lesson the whole
nation is pondering.
A decade agu, when the American people di.scovered the
Prohibition party through the vote for our battle-scarred hero,
John P. St. John, that defeated Mr. Blaine, there was not a
daily paper in New York city, not one, that did not finil ic
almo.st impossible to mention the word Prohibition without
sneering at it, or to allude to the Prohibition party move-
ments without expressions of contemjU. For these ten years
and more Prohibitionists have stood up and been counted ;
for ten years, in season and out, they have been proclaiming
Prohibition facts and arguments, and now what do we see in
this same city of New York ?
There we see a man Roosevelt, iK'cause he has stood for
the enforcement of the Prohibition law on Sunday, l)ecome
the most popular politician in the city ; one who is now being
talked of for governor, and again and again in the West men-
tioned as a possible Presidential lightning-rod.

do we see in
thing for myself I ever did was to attach myself to Dr. Faric-
hurst." It is a glorious day for the Republic when politicians
begin to discover that it is best to join in with the moral
forces, that they will reign when these forces reign. Clean-
ness is the incoming tide. Agitation is education. And
this typical victory in New York is of widespread importance.
Lift up public opinion there riul you lift it Ihroughc" t the
nation.
Ix)ok at other results >( this past decade of our party's
battle. Note the change in church utterances on temper-
ance and Prohibition. Straws show the way the wind is
blowing. Here is a straw the size of a saw-log. At Car-
negie Hall the other evening there was an immense audience
of Catholics. Many more thousantis were outside striving
to get in, but were unable; then got in and fdled every .scat
and standing place. What was the occasion ? A Roman
Catholic temper.ince meeting, that and nothing more. Dur-
ing that meeting a most clo(|ucnt and honoretl Catholic
orator was hisseil and howleil down in the presence of great
leading dignitaries of the Roman Catholic church, and all
because he favored annulling the Sunday Prohibition law.s.
And then that same immense Catholic audience, in the
presence of the Roman Catholic Ix'gate, Satolli, and the
Archbishop, Corrigan, and a host of other dignitaries,
cheered to the echo Protestant Roosevelt because he stood
for the enforcement of these laws.
CATHOLICS SWINCINC; INTO LINE.
Imagine, if you can, that siene to have occurred ten
years ago. Verily the world moves, and no section during
the past decade with more amazing rapidity than has moved
the total abstinence and Prohibition section, and yet some
of our people have l)een discouraged.
Who dreamed ten years ago of living long enough to see
the Roman Catholic ("hurch make a declaration like that
made by the Hishop of Columbu.s, Ohio, and to see that
utterance officially recognized and permitted, by the head of
the Roman t'hurch in America, to stand ?
Prior to ten years ago you will look in vain in the records
of the Presbyterian Cleneral Assembly for an utterance like
the following :
" No political parly hat the right to expect the support o( the
Christian men so long as that party stands cummitted to (he license
policy, or refuses to put itself on record against the saloon."
Prior to 1884, find, if you can, anything like the follow-
i;^ in the minutes of the Methodist General Conference:
" We do record our deliberate judgment that no political party
has a right to expect, nor ought it to receive, the support of Christian
men so long as it standi committed to the license policy, or refuses to
put itself on record in an attitude of open hostility to the saloon."
These are but typical of the recent utterances of about
all of the churches. And the creat Christian Endeavor
A.ssociation is not far in the rear? By and by it will lead.
BUT WHAT ARE THE CHURCHES DOING?
But, does some one say, what do these resolutions and
sayings amount to if they do not take the form of action ?
Right thinking must go before right action. Cet intelli-
gent, conscientious men to think right and keep them at it,
and they are bound by the irresistible laws of the mind and
heart eventually to act right. The Prohibitionists have
gained a stupendous victory in compelling the churches to
think right.
The church is siowly but surely leading its membership
up to the high level ol its resolutions. This is one point we
mu.st insist upon : the ending of the inconsistency between'
church resolutions and memlicrship action. There must l)e
harmony l)etween the head, heart, feet, and hands of the
church. A captain in the old-fashioned militia once offered
this toast : "Here is to the militia, invincible in peace, in-
visible in war." That was the church in its fight with the
liquor traffic, "invincible in synods and in conferences ; in-
visible on election days." That must end. It is our busi-
ness to so plan and .so fight that it will Ix; imjiossible for this
inconsistency to continue. That is work for this convention.
BUSINE.SS MEN (iETTINC THEIR EYE.S OPEN.
Again, what changes are being wrought in almost every
direction by a recognition on the part of many business
men of the facts Prohibitioni-sts have l)een gathering and
publishing. 'I'o-day, it is not safe anywhere for a young man
to seek employment with the smell of litjuor on his breath.
I have gone through large restaurants in Chicago, ami
Boston, and New York, at lunch time, and have not seen a
bottle at one plate in twenty. Ten years ago, in these same
restaurants, the lM)ttle on an average was at every other
plate. I-a.st Deceml)er the ('hicago and Alton Railroad
published Rule 75, which reads :
"Any conductor, trainman, engineer, fireman, switchman, or other
employee, who is known to use intoxicating liquors, will be promptly
and permanently discharged."
Orders have been issued by almost all of the leading
railroads of the country forbidding the sale of liquors at
railroad restaurants, and forbidding their employees to go
inside of a saloon, many of them, with the Chicago and
Alton Railroad, insisting upon absolute abstinence. The
significance of these weighty facts is that over a million men
are employed on the railroads, and that this recognition is a
commercial one. The enlightened pocket-lwok has become
a factor in our reform in America in the closing decade of
the nineteenth century. When fully enlisted it will become
irresistible.
I hold in my hand the official application paper for the
New York civil service. It is an application for appoint-
ment to office in New York, and must Ik' filled out by every
one who is appointed to any of the thou.sands of offices that
come under the provisions of the civil scrvi'-e. This blank
provides that an applicant must have four [)ersons to vouch
for his character, and of these four persons it says : " They
should be persons of good character and standing in the
community where they reside, and must not be engaged in
the 'Hjuor trade in any form." Think of that ! The word
of a man engaged in the li({uor business in any form not to
be taken by New York paliticians even as to the character of

NO MORK I.lyUOR-SKI.I.INC. AT CHURCH KAIRS.
Ten years ago it was not an extraordinary thing to see in
New York and other large cities the selling of li(|uor at
church fairs ; now, never ! So far has education gone along
this line, that during the last fall the managers of the
Twenty-Third Regiment Fair in Brooklyn were com[)elled
to come out publicly and deny a report that got abroad that
liquor was iK-ing sold for the benefit of the fair in a building
outside and wholly indei>endent of the armory. Men like
Dr. Lyman Abbott announced their withdrawal of support
if either directly or indirectly the regiment encouraged the
.sale of licjuor. The keepers of the saloon thereujKjn
published that they would send the profits of their sale
anonymously to the regiment. The management then
publicly pledged their word that they would accept no
money sent anonymously from any source. That is another
very large straw which shows the blowing of the wind. It,
too, is the size of a saw-log.
Note the National Typographical Union at the conven-
tion in I/Ouisville refusing with indignation to accept the
proffered hospitality of the liquor men of that city. Remem-
ber, these were printers, the representatives of the typesetters
of the entire nation. A wonderful transformation this 1
SAIXX)N-KEEPERS KICKED OUT OF GREAT BENEVOLENT
ORDERS.
We have seen during the last year great organizations
like the Knights of Pythias refusing to admit saloon men to
membership, and great conventions like the Farmers'
National Congress pa.ss such resolutions as this one :
" Whereas, (he liquor Iraffic as represented by the saloon busi-
ness is the chief cause of the poverty, crime, misery of the country ;
thererore resolved, that we call upon the Congress of the United
Slates and the legislatures of the several States to enact measure* for
ii!> suppression at as ei'ly a date as possible."
Here is another large-sized straw: Notwithstanding the
fact that the Women's Christian Temperance Union declared
for the Prohibition party at its last meeting in Cleveland, it
is enabled to report all debts paid and a surplus in the
treasury, and between four hundred thousand and five hun-
dred thousand of a membership. We were told that the
Women's Christian Temperance Union, by indorsing the
Prohibition party, was ruined. It would like to be ruined
some more. How is it ? Our compliment to the non-par-
tisan Women's Christian Temperance Union. And we
must not forget that women are coming nearer and nearer
to the ballot-box. I^t them come.
These facts could be multiplied a hundred-fold, showing
the amazing progress that has been made in the last decade
against the liquor evil.
He who cannot see in such triumphs as these great'
encouragement must be fatally blind. The Prohibition
party, beyond any other educational agency, beyond all
others combined, is to be credited with these changes. It
forced agitation, and agitation is education.
WHAT OK THE FUTURE — THE HARTv's NAME.
So much for the past. Now let us turn our fares for a
moment to the present and future. Our party,as Petri leum
V. Nasby would say, has its future before it, not behind it.
I.et UF study the chart. Yonder is our port -note it well.
What is it ? It is Prohibition and a (wrty behind it
that believes in it. Who dare suggest any alliance or com-
promise that would cause us to deviate a hair's breadth
from that destination ? I had rather a hundred times that
the party he true to Prohibition and remain a stublxjm
righteous minority than be false to Prohibition and enter
the White House.
Would you change the jKirty's name ? I c^ire little for
that, except I fear that such change would l)e interpreted as
a sign of retreat. 1 'cology is a senseless worship. It is
the idea that is lx,'hinil the word tliat is important. On the
other hand, it is urged that the word Prohibition is negative.
It once was negative, but is not now. Words grow. Pro-
hibition means now something most positive. It means
conscience in politics, a pure hallot-box, true manhood, true
womanhood, the protetrtion of home. In the new mean-
ings of that word the Prohibition party has made an
important contribution to philology. Protestantism was
once a negative name. It stinds now for aggressive religious
activity, freedom of conscience, an open Bible, true personal
liberty, and the greatest jx)ssible development of the brain
of every one. Ix-'t us not wa.ste on either side much
thought about the change of name.
WOULD YOU JOIN FORCES WITH OTHER REFORM PARTIES?
does jome one ask. I answer : Yes, most gladly ; if we can
do so without sacrificing or endangering our principle. But
foremost above all other questions and before all other
questions must Ix; forever with us that of Prohibition. Ixt
every delegate bear this in mind, that never has the Prohibi-
tion party liad before it such a magnificent opportunity as
now. Every student of jjolitics among us should ponder
well the following most significant figures :
The stay-at-home vote has increa.sed in the state of New
York from 75,000 in 1888 to 185,000 in 1892, and to 425,-
000 in 1894 ; in Pennsylvania from 7o,o.jo in 1888 to 230,-
000 in 1892 and 400,000 in 1894. It has increased in Ohio
from 40,000 in 1888 to 1 15,000 in 1892 and 290,000 in 1894;
in Michigan from 20,000 in 1888 to 105,000 in 1892 and 240,-
000 in 1894. Mr. Frederick B. Waite, the Washington
statistician, estimates that the stay-at-home voters numlxjred
last November 5,100,000. The dissatisfaction of voters with
the old parties is most profound. The harvest is truly
ready. We should see to it that Prohibitionist laborers are
sufficient for the task.
In closing let me sum up in a word my advice touching
what seems to me pertinent ; I trust it may not seem to any
impertinent !

THE KERNEL OF THE NUT.
1st. I would not seek to change the name of the party —
not at least in the near future.
2nd. I would not al>ate one jot or tittle of the emphasis
with which we have a.sscrted the principle of Prohibition and
a party lx.>hind it.
3rd. I would seek in every practical way to bring the
church into an attitude consistent with itself, so that there
will Ix; no scandalous contradictions as there are now l)etween
its official Prohibition utterance of right and duty and the
political action of its meml)ers.
4th. I would let it Ik; known everywhere that we are
willing to unite forces with any politiciil jwrty which will
accept in sincerity the dictum Prohibition and a jwrty be-
hind it; provided only that we are not required to subscriln; to
any principle or policy that would go against conscience ;
and, to this end, I would have all Prohibitionists to under-
st.ind practically that to disagree it is not neces.sary to Ix; dis-
agreeable; and also to know that we show loyalty to the
truth by bearing with the beliefs of others which are irrele-
vant or are non-essential.
5th. I would favor every method that would help to the
purity of the liallotbox, and hence would favor ballot reform
the Initiative and Referendum, civil service a-form, and
woman suffrage.
Im|K)rtant are the cjuestions of currency, of tariff, of taxes;
but away above them all, and dominating all, are the ques-
tions of conscience ; and chief of these which are demanding
recognition on the political plain, and which will permit
no rest to the nation until it is answered, is the question
of Prohibition. We may l>e called in the future as in the
past dreamers, sentimentalists, visionaries, for placing ques-
tions of conscience above those of meat and shelter and other
material aiivantages. Moses was such a dreamer, so were
Plato and Christ, Savonarola and Luther and VVillx;rforce and
( iarrison.
There are larks and nightingales and eagles, and there are
to-tds and moles, groundlings, all after their kind. Some are
created to croak and grovel, and some to soar and sing. Are
the lark and nightingale to stop singing lieciiuse down in the
bogs the ducks and frogs do not like it ? We shall continue
to soar and sing notwithstanding the quackings and croakings
in the political lowlands.

THE PROHIBITION OF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
A Speech by Thomas Barnard Riiit, M. P., in the House of Commons, Ottawa, May 7th, 1894.
T
H E resolution proposed by Mr. Flint was as follows :
li
i i
I
That it it expedieni that it upcedlly is ixnsilile Ihit Patlinment
shoulil enact n law to prohibit the importation, nianuraclure and lale
of intoxicating li<|uors in Canada, except fur medicin.il, m.inuracluring
■nd ucraniental purposes.
Mr. S|)c'akt'r, I will not disguise from you that I
approach the discussion of this resolution with a
great deal of dilTidence and with considerahle anxiety. I
desire, in presenting the case which is suggested by the
terms of this resolution, that 1 should do so in such a
manner as to attract support to it, and not to ant-igonize any
possible source of opposition. The subject is one so broad,
it touches so many points of interest to many classes of the
I)eople of this Dominion, that it arouses, prol)ably, more
public interest than any other individual question which has
come before this Parliament for consideration. At the
outset of my observations I desire to state tlwt the form of
the resolution has been dictateil by the fact that it represents
the mature judgment and carefully arranj^ed views of the
I'rohibition party, so-called, of the Dominion of Canada ; a
party which comprises gentlemen upon both sities of politics,
a party which includes men, and women also, I may add,
representing every class and every creed in this broad
Dominion. I desire that I may have the privilege to suggest
such a line of di.scussion that political feeling may be avoided,
and that the question may be discussed upon the braid
platform, in which the interests of the community as a whole
may lie considered, rather than any narrow interests of any
class or any particular party, .\ttention h.xs already been
called, and very naturally so, in the public press, to the
peculiar wording of the resolution which I ask the House to
adopt. It has been pointed out that there is a v.tgueness in
the term : " That it is expedient that .is speedily as po.ssible
this Parliament should enact a prohibitory law." Other
resolutions that have lieen laid upon the table of the House
in other days, and that have l)een discus.sed and pa.ssed upon
here, have stated in more explicit terms the desire of their
supporters that Parliament should act upon the subject
immediately, or at a definite time ; and it may have ajjpeared
to many who are earnest and devoted in their desire to see
a prohibitory liquor law enacted at once, that there has been
a stepping away from that standpoint in the form of this
resolution. Hut it will Ix; recollected that at the lx;ginning
of the session a large and inlltiential delegation of the
Prohibition leaders from, I iK-lieve, all the provinces of the
Dominion, were assembled at the capital for the pur|K)se of
interviewing the right honorable I'rime Minister and his
colleagues upon this great and important (juestion. It will
l)e rememliered that in the able presentation of that case to
the Prime Minister and to those of his colleagues who met
these gentlemen upon that occasion, all the main and
essential points of the prohibitory .agitation were sketched,
and a desire expres.sed by them that the (lovernment of the
country, as such, should take hold of the great problem
connected with the prohibition of intoxicating litjuors in
Canada, and act upon it as a Ciovernment (piestion. It will
be rememl)ered also that the right honorable gentleman at
the he.id of the Ministry, in very moderate terms indeed,
pointed out some practii-al difficulties why, even if the
(lovernment were so disposed, even if the (lovernment were
convinced that the position taken by the deleg.ation was
absolutely the correct position in the interests of the
Dominion, there were practical difficulties in the way of the
immediate acting upon tho.se convictions. Practical diffi-
culties were pointed out which convinced large numliers of
honorable gentlemen favoring prohibition, who, at the same
time, supjwrt the right honorable Premier in his political
policy. They were convinced that upon that point, at any
rate, the Premier had taken a very strong stand. Many of
these gentlemen, agreeing with him that it would Ik;
impracticable, even if it were desirable, that the (lovernment
should forthwith frame a prohibitory liiiuor law, declined, in
the conference which ensued, to commit themselves in
opposition to the Premier's position. Many others, while
thinking that the Premier's position was not sound, yet
daemed it advi.sable, in the face of the fact that so prominent
and able a le.tder of the dominant politiciil party had taken
that stand, that the phraseology of the resolution should be
somewhat changed, in order to meet the views of the
Premier's supporters. Therefore, I desire it to be under-
stood, and I believe the supporters of the resolution
generally desire it to be understood, that the expression "as
speedily as possible " has reference to practical difficulties
only — not to any doubt as to the ripeness of public opinion

PROHIBITION MiADERS
'S
ur a.s t(i the cx|)e(licni-y and ability of thu Dominion
( iovL-rnment, if so dis|N>sv(I, to cnforct: and carry out, with
pro|)er support, any prohibitory law which Parliament may
deem it advisable to enact ; but only to such practical
difficulties as would necessarily arise in the framing uf a bill
at the present session of Parliament. I think the strongest
advocate of Prohibition present would l)e willirtg to give the
framers of a prohibitory liijuor law ample time in whi(;h to
carefully consider all the outlines and <letails of such a
measure ; but we are strongly of opinion that the time is
near when such a measure should tn,- enacted, that (Miidic
opinion is pre|)ared to support it, and that it may l)e
practi(^illy carried out with the support of public opinion
behind it. Having said this much as to the phraseology
of the resolution, I would advert to the |)eculiar character of
the legislation which it asks for. There are, outside of the
House, considerations of a very deep and important
character which it is unnecessary, and which it would Ik.-,
[H-rhaps, inadvisable, to allude to here. There are moral and
religious feelings aroused «hich it would \)c improper and
inappropriate to discuss in Parliament. In my opinion, the
subject should t)e discussed in this House purely from a
utilitarian and economic standpoint, and those other
considerations which are of great weight and importance in
sustaining such legislation, and which have sustained the
agitation so far, should l)e left to oi)erate in their own way
to support the (lovernment in the administration of the law
after it is enacted. Public opinion has travelled far and fast
since the inception of the histor) of prohibitory legislation
in this country. In fact, from tlie very l)eginning of our
history, the \h\uot traffic has been treated in an exceptional
manner. Ix;t us go liack as far as we may in the history of
the country, and we find that from the veiy outset the
peculiar efTects of the use of intoxicating liquors have
tlemanded at the hands of legislators [Ktculiar treatment.
Not as iK'aring [)eculiarly upon the (juestion of Prohibition,
but as a liistorical incident showing the exceptional charac-
ter of the evil with which Prohibitionists at the present time
are trying to deal, and with which the champions of law
and order generally have always, since we have hi.d legisla-
tive institutions, attem|)ted to deal, I would call your
attention to the fact that at the very first meeting of one of
the very first legislatures of the provinces, that of Nova
Scotia, in 1758, the first Act [Kissed by that Ix!gi>' ture was
one referring to the importation of rum and distilled
liquors, and, although I am not acejuainted with the terms
of the legislation, there can be no doubt, from the subse-
quent history of the dealings of legislatures with license
acts, and other li()uor laws, that the object was of a
restrictive character. In 1758 the fourth chapter of the
acts of the first Parliament of the Province of Nova Scotia
was an act to prohibit the creation of distillery houses or
the setting up of stills within the town of Halifax or within
a quarter of a mile of the pickets of the said town. I^ter,
in the same sitting of the Legislature, drunkenness was
among the evils or offences classed as crimes, and it was
punished very severely as a crime against the community.
From tliat time to the present the most rigid license laws
have followed one after another in the Legislature
of the Province of Nova Scotia, as well as in the
legislatures of the other provinces now forming this
great Dominion. As another historical fact of no little
interest, throwing, as it does, a light on the early hi.story
of legislative attempts to restrict the evils of the liijuor
traffic, I may refer to an act pas.sed in 1792, in the first
session of the Parliament of UpiK-r Canada, held at Niagara,
in which, dealing with the sul>je< 1 of licenses for the sale of
intoxicating licjuors, it was enacted that no licenses should
Ix.* granted for retailing spirituous licjuors in any jail. The
inference, of course, would be that previous to the enact-
ment of that law criminals or other prisoners confined in
jail were allowed to purchase and use intoxicating li(|Uors.
The evils were so ap|)arent that at the very first session of
the first Parliament of Upjx,'r f'anada, an absolute pro-
hibition in this particular was decreed under the most
severe iK-naities. And later, in 1793, legislation for restrict-
ing the sale of intoxicating liquors generally in the old
Province of Up|x;r (Canada was undertaken. I am aware
that none of this legislation was of a prohibitory character ;
but it was of an exceptional character, pas.sed many years
Ix'fore public opinion had induced or forcetl the legislature
to deal in the same manner with other articles which are
now placed under the Kan of the law. The very dis<:ussion
which has just closed, referring to adulterated tea.s, and to
the desirability, agreed upon on both sides of the House,
of this Parliament enacting, if necessary, very stringent
legislation prohibiting the importation into this country of
adulterated teas, as well as the .Xcts on the Statute Book
prohibiting the imjiortation of adulterated articles of con-
sumption of other kinds, show that the principle of prohibit-
ing that which is deemed to be injurious to the public
health or to the public interest is a well settled principle of
our constitutional law. The history of the prohibitory
agitation, so-i-alled, in which the friends of good order and
of tem|K"rance, in which the opponents of the u.se of intoxi-
cating or spirituous li(|uors, in any degree whatever, are
engaged, is of great interest, and shows to what an extent
the public mind, as well as the feelings and actions of the
leading public men of t' j Dominion, have I)een operated
upon since confederation. Almost at the outset of con-
federation there arose, in every province of the Dominion,
an agitation to induce this Parliament to enact a prohibitory
liquor law. Up to 1873, however, this agitation had not
culminated in any very remarkable public exhibition. But
in that year, I find that a strong efTort was made in the
House of ('ommons and the Senate to enact a complete
prohibitory law. In 1873 a special committee of the Senate
was appointed, owing to the flood of petitions which were
pouring in upon the Senate and the House of Commons, to
consider the whole subject. The committee reported,
among other things, as follows :
" The committee consider the time has arrived when the earnest
attention of the Government and of (he Legislature should be given to
this important subject, with a view of discovering and applying the
I
i6
PROHIBITION LEADKRS
r-
belt remady for the giginlic ctiI thai aflecli lo tcHoudy the peace and
pmapcrity o( the Doinloion."
In that year 993 |K;titions, signed by 40,000 petitioner;),
were presented in the Senate. Nothing in particular rame
by way of legislation in reply to this earnest movement, so in
the following year the friends of the prohibitory rause again
aroused themselves and made another effort to induce
Parliament to accede to their views. I will, however, go
back to the year 1873, Ixiforc continuing my remarks
regarding the year 1874, to show how strongly the commit-
tees ap|K)inted by this House viewed the necessity for some
such enactment as I have described. The first report of
the special commitUe appointed by this House concludes
as follows :
" Further examination reveali the fact that a contidsrable portion
of the reipectability, the influence, the inleliect and the wealth of the
Dominion, has united in this prolett againil the evils of intemperance.
Bishops, the clergy generally, judges, legislators, magistrates, public
writers, and very many of our merchantt and manufaclurers, have
given their names and their support to the furtherance of this good
cause."
In that year 460,000 petitioners were represented in
their demand upon Parliament to enact a prohibitory liquor
law. The committee, at a later [X-'riod of the session, added
to their support a lengthy .series of calculations and state-
ments, and the conclusions to which they had arrived, from
further examination o*" the evidence brought Iwfore them,
are stated in their second report. The result of their most
careful deliberations, tused upon the facts to which they
have had access, may Ik.- briefly summarized as follows :
" First. That the traffic was an unmitigated evil.
" Second. That the petitions showed conclusively that the people
of the Dominion are very strongly impressed with the enormity of the
evils alluded to, and that in view of this strong and energetic demand,
some action is necessary.
" Third. From the answers given liy sherifT^, 1 14 of whom have
voluntarily given evidence, your committee find that four- fifths of the
crime in the Province of Ontario is directly or indirectly connected
with the manufacture, sale or consumption of intoxicating liquors,
" Fourth. In Ontario and (Quebec, out of 28,289 commitments
to the jails for the three previous years, 21,336 were for drunkennes or
for crime perpetrated under the influence of drink.
"Fifth. That the testimony of medical men is almost uanimous,
that intox'citing liquor is not necessary as a beverage, and your com-
mittee find, from a careful investigation of the testimony, that a
prohibitory liquor law may be enforced, that it is completely workable,
and that the results would go to diminish crime, to diminish the
expense of administering local aflUirs, to increase industry, and promote
general happiness and content."
The year 1874 was a year of considerable agitation in
this House and throughout the country on this subject.
Strong resolutions were introduced, lengthy debates were
carried on, considerable feeling was evoked so much so
that it api)eared to be almost the unanimous conviction of
the House that the evils of the traffic in intoxicating liquor
had not been exaggerated. In the minds of many, how-
ever, there was this difficulty, that possibly public opinion
was not strong enough to support the carrying out of
reasonable prohibitory legislation. I was pleased to see
that you, yourself, Mr. S(M:aker, in 1874, moved in the
direction of prohibition. Your resolution was as follows :
"That the Iraflfic in Intoxicating liquors is an evil, for which Iht
laws of this country provide no adequate remedy, and *.hat it U
desirable to prohibit the manufacture and aale of intoxicating liquor,
except lor medicinal and manufacturing purposes."
Althcjgh this resolution received considerable support,
yet, in the prevailing tem|)er of the Hous«- ')f (,'ommons as
a whole, it was not assumed that it could .>e adopted, and
it was con.se(|uently, after some discussion, withdrawn. Hut
the lesult of the whole discussion, and of the strong agita-
tion prevailing out of d(K)rs, induced the Ciovernment to
con.sent to the adoption of a resolution looking in thnt
direction, by the House of Commons, and the appointment
of a commission to intjuire into and report on this whole
subject. The commission was appointed, and the matter,
of course, stood over, |>ending the production of its report.
In 1875 the report was brought before Parliament. The
commissioners proved conclusively as conclusively as it
was possible for intelligent men, having regard for the facts
which came under their observation, to prove anything with
regard to the economic results of any evil that the licjuor
traffic and crime were in.separable, that restriction of the
evil was followed by decrease of crime, that prohibitory
legislation was practical and workable, that the principle
had already l)een recognized by successive Parliaments in
dealing with this as well as other subjects, and that
it was advisable, having these results in view, that
Parliament should take some action looking in that direc-
tion. After a long discussion in this House, participated in
by many gentlemen who were then, and have since Ijcen,
distinguished as [)ractical statesmen, the House, in Com-
mittee of the Whole, accepted this resolution :
" That the most eflectual remedy for the evils of intemperance
would be to prohibit the manulacturr, importation and sale of
intoxicating liquors."
It is only fair to add that the report of the committee
of the whole House was not accepted by the House itself.
But the Senate committee, appointed to consider the sair.e
subject, reported as follows :
"That, in view of these facts and consiilerations, it appears just
and expedient that the prayer of the (wtitioners should l>c granted.
And that the time has now arrived when the attention of the Govern-
ment should be given to this important question with a view to the
introduction of a Bill to prohibit the manufacture, importation and
sale of intoxicating liquors, except for mechanical and medicinal
purposes, throughout the Dominion at the earliest date compatible with
the public interests."
Here we have the House and the Senate conceding the
magnitude of the evil shown by the petitioners, and conced-
ing that the probable results of favorable action in the line
of the prayer of the petition would be highly advantageous
to the interests of the country as a whole. Kven some who
had strongly opposed the adoption of any stringent resolu-
tion at that time frankly admitted that prohibition in itself,
if it could be enforced, would be a great advantage to every
interest in the State. I find that Mr. Thompson, of Cari-
boo, who distinguished himself by his persistent opposition

to granting the prayer of he petition, and to the prin<i[)al
resiiliitioM (lien liefore the ilousc, ailniitteil that he woiiM
bt' (|uile pre|)nre(l to support a pniliihitory M(|ii(ir law if he
thought it eouhi ))e (arrieil into effect. 'I'lie present
Minister of Trade and Commeree, in the same session, was
so strongly <onvin<e<l that no other remedy existed for the
great evils that had l)een sketchetl by the re|M)rt of this
eomniission, and had ()een adverted to during the course of
delute, that he was moved to introduce an amendment to
the main resolution theti Itefore the House, in which he
stated that it was the emphatic duty of the Covernment of
the day to take up this ipiestion as an Administration, and
to risk its |M)wer and intlucncc upon the carrying into effect
of so necessary a law. He stated that ever since he had
had the honor of occupying a seat in I'arliament the tahle
had every year l)een groaning with petitions in favor of
prohihition, and he saw no other means out of the
ditTiculties in which the li(|uor traffic had involved the
people of this country but vigorous action upon the Hubjcct
by the Administration. I«iter, in the year 1877, during
another lengthy an<l able debate, in which this great subject
was viewed in all its liearings, both as to the evils of the
traffic and the difficulties of providing a remedy, and as to
the necessity that some renieilies should l)e dev.sed, a
resolution was introdu<ed by the present honorable (iovernor
of the Province of Manitoba (Mr. Schult/,)and supported by
him in a very vigorous manner. He made the following
remarks :
" While it wai (rue that he did not Iwlong to any temperance
organization, yet he would always rememlicr with pleasure that the
Noilh-VVest Council, of which he had the honor to Ix a meml)er, had
passed early in its existence the first prohibitory li(|uor law in Canada,
and that the result had been that in over one-hall of the Dominion
the manufacture and sale of liquors had l>een prohibited, and with
effect so good that he would like to see the experiment tried in the
other half "
Here we have the views of a j)ractical man, one whose
sincerity none could doubt, and who spoke of the ((uestion
as the result of ex|)erience, and who moved that the Ciovern-
ment should take the matter up and bring it strongly and
persistently l)efore I'arliament, and embody the principle, if
possible, in a law. After that we were involved in the
discussions and debates relative to the Scott Act, to the
Liquor License l>aw, known as the McCarthy Act, and
to the legislation in connection therewith. I will not
occupy the time of the House with the discussion of these
matters, but I can say that a reperusal of those discussions
will be found replete with interest and information. 'I'he
time when that legislation could be effectual, however, has,
in a large degree, pa.ssed away, and those who support it
have now gone further, and are pressing upon Parliament
and the Government to prohibit entirely the importation,
sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquors, except for
purpjoses which are mentioned in the resolution now liefore
the House. In 1884 the present Finance Mini.ster, after a
speech of great ability, in which he seems to have brought
to a focus the opinions of the wisest and greatest men of
the English-speaking race, a speech in which almost every
(iha.se of this (piestion w-as touched upon with earnestness
and force, again apjiealed to Parliament to do something to
remedy the evils of the litpior traffic. He proposed a
resolution stilntantially sinnlar to that which is now U-forr
you. Hut Parliament ten years ago seemed to Ite of opinioti
that possibly such legislation would it Ik- siip|X)rted by
the |x.-ople of the country. We had not, at that time, had
the advantage of the popular votes which have since
informed Parliament of the wishes and views of the |)eople
gener.dly, and his resolution was adopted, with a rider
providing that popular sup|Mirt should first Ix.- guarantee
to so drastic a measure. The resolution to which Parlia-
ment committed itself, after a tielwte of almost unexampled
earnestness and remarkable ability, was in the following
terms, the main motion having l>een moved by Mr. Foster,
and the rider by the late Hon. Thos. White :
"The most ellectua! icmedy fur the evils complained of is to
l>e found in the enactment ami enforcement of a law prohibiting the
importation, manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquori for lieverage
purposes. And this House is prepared, as soon as public opinion will
suHiciently sustain stringent measures, to promote such legislation as
far as the same is within the competency of rarliamenl."
I do not advert any further to what was said during that
discussion than to (|uote one or two of the observations of
the elo(|uent mover of the resolution. The hon. gentleman
referreil, as I have referretl, to what every hon. gentleman
must have observed, the very strong feeling in the country
generally that Parliament should do something to stop the
disorder and the loss caused by the traffic in intoxicating
li(|uors. He al.so said that he felt he was within the mark
when he stated that the evils resulting from the litjiior traffic
in the Dominion had done more to retard the prosperity of
the country and sow germs of disorder and discontent than
any other evils with which this country has Ix-en afflicted.
Now, that was a strong statement, coming from one who,
since that date, has ri.sen high in the councils of the state,
and who stands high in the confidence of hon. gentlemen
opposite as a practical admini.strator; those are the words of
one who has had long experience in the study and the
discussion of all ijuestions connected with the liijuor traffic,
as well as with those other (|uestions which are connected
with the economics of that trade. In the same delxite that
hon. gentleman, in defending the grounds upon which such
a resolution could be fairly adopted, used this language —
and I will call the attention of the House to it, because this
seems to afford a basis upon which we can all agree in
dealing with this subject. He s,'iid :
"We legislate to keep up the distillery, to keep up the brewery,
to keep up the liquor shops of our country, which employ altogether
some 1 1,000 or 13,000 persons. Now, there is another class in this
country, and that is the 4,500,000, or over, who do not make and sell
liquor. The legislation we have at present is in favor of the 11,000,
l»it it is against the best interests of the 4,500,000. By the legisla-
tion now proposed the good of the greater numl)er is sought, and if it
is admitted that the good of the greatest numlier ought to prevail, then
the interest of (he smaller number ought to go down."
It is, sir, upon this line, and I was almost going to say
upon this line only, that we can base legis'ation of the

charartcr now before us for consideration. I haw always
felt the foA!c of the objection made to me by one who
partakes of inloxirnting li<|ii(>rs \n niodi'mtion, that it is a
strong step for the majority to take io dcprivi- him u( the
|)ieaHure, or lienetit, which he may derive, or think he
derives, from the use of this litjiior in the manner which he
•ieeiiis l)est. Hut it seems to me that if we are to admit that
plea to lie sound in principle, then there j;oes by the Inwrd
at one stroke almost all the legislation which this or any
other country has enacted for the lienefit of the vast majority
of the |)eople. It is none the less true in politics than in
the everyday affairs of life, that that which is for the
benefit of the greatest numl)er must be considered rather
than that whi<-h gratifies the smaller numl)er. I admit that
the evils that are to Ik; overcome must he great in order to
justify the legislator in resorting to that policy.
There is the implied as.sent of every individual that his
personal welfare should, in case of need, give way to that
of the community, ami that his lilierty even shall lie limited
by the re(juirements of the safety of the state. As a great
writer puts it :
" From the very ndure of the fecial compact In which all
municipal law ii founded result those laws which, in ceitain coses,
authorize the inlliclion of penalties, the piivatiun of lilicrty, and even
the destruction of life, with a view to the future prevention of crime,
and insuring the safely and welllieing of the public."
This principle derives its origin from absolute necessity,
and that iK-ing so, the only ((uestion that naturally arises
would l)e as to the pro[)er time for its exercise by way
of legislation. I contend that since this (juestion of
the jirohibition of the licjuor traffic was first brought
before the public and Parliament, the whole burden of proof
as to the weight and character of the evil caused by intem-
perance and by the traffic in spirituous li()uors, has been
shifted from the shoulders of those who ask for this
legislation to the other side ; and that, taking into consid-
eration the enormous literature on the subject, taking into
consideration the vast amount of official reports that
accumulate in our archives and libraries, and, adding to that
the express statements of statesmen, and men of letters,
and men of observation, and the resolutions of Parliament
itself, we are no longer called upon to expend our time in
dwelling upon that phase of the (juestion. It is to be taken
for granted that the evils are of a serious and overwhelming
character, and that some remedy must be provided if the
state is properly to protect itself I contend it is now fairly
left to those who object to the form of remedy we propose
to point out where these evils have lx.'cn exaggerated, or to
point out in what direction a Ixitter remedy may be pro-
posed. I have touched upon the I'arliamentary history of
the efforts made in the direction at which this resolution
aims, and 1 have sketched roughly and hastily an outline of
what had been done in Parliament up to 1884. After that
jieriod there were more resolutions presented, which, owing
to various circumstances, with which we are familiar, were
either disposed of by some side wind or did not reach a
conclusive vote ; hut in 1889 a resolution was adopted by
this House strongly endorsing the position taken by us at
the present time, with a provi.so added that Parliament should
wait until public opinion was ripe for this action. In other
words. Parliament objecteil to imntediate action, and
demanded that evidence should l)e given when public
opinion w.ts ri|H> for legislation in the matter. Hy way,
however, of entphasi/.ing the point to which I have alluded,
namely, the characrter an<l mass of evils to which I am
referring, and as a mere s|)ecimcn of the evidence, which
ci»n Ik,' produc-ed in abundance, and which, indeed, has
alre.idy Ih-cii present''(l to Parliament in large (jiiantities, I
will ()uote briedy from a report presented to the British
Parliament as long ago as 1834. That report was founded
on an elalM)rate examination by a committee of able men,
who summoned witnesses from trvery portion of the three
kingdoms, and inquired into the whole of this great subject.
