Rv. J. Spaugier Kiefler, iu Reformed Church
Quarterly.
Concluded from yesterday.
Tempeiauce has two sides. On the one
side, it is a question of order, decency and
economy ; ou the oilier Hide, rt is a qucs
tien of self res-tramt aud pelf-government.
Iu its' external aspects, it has te de with
removing nuisances, fciippressiujj saloeus.
protecting innocent women aud chililreu
lrem the neglect and cruelty rebutting
from drunkenness ; in its internal aspects,
it has te de with tlie cultivation of virtu
eus character. New, re far as the tem tem tem
porance question is ene et external ei der,
rre one can deny that legislation has much
te de with the settlement of it. Tlie state
of affairs brought about in any community
by an unrestricted liquor traffic involves
manifold abuses for the suppression or
prevention of which prohibitory Ieisla Ieisla
latien is the natural, appropriate and suf
ficient instrument ; abuses very much
akin te ethers, for the removal of which
the law can be shown te have interfered
with most salutary elect. We would
refer for example, te the prohibitory legis
lation of Sir Ilebert Peel's administration
in England ; in particular, te the act of
Parliament of 1842, by which a fstep was
put te the infamous practices growing out
of the employment of women and girls iu
mines aud collieries, and the factories act,
of 1814, which has had m beneficent an
elTect ou ! he condition of children working
in factories. It is true, the iutctfcteuce et
legislation irt these matters has always
been a disputed point ; thoie has been
much fluctuation of public opinion in re
gard te it ; the limit has never been lixed
at which it ceases te be legitimate and
parses into what h.i: beeu described and
stigmatized as "grandmetherly legisla
tion." Noverthelohs, that iu thes3
typical instance the interposition of
prohibitory legislation was highly
benaiicral, seems te admit of no
reasonable doubt. " It is enough
for us te knew," says Justin McCarthy,
"that practically the factory legislation
worked veiy well ; and that the nou-hi-terfereuco
rrr the Holds is a far heavier
responsibility en the conscience of Par
liament than interference in the factories."
The tempcrance que.stie'it? it is true, is a
far mere complicated ,ji(fcd difficult ene
than that of labor in the mines aud factor
ies of England ; yet no one can read the
history of the salutary roterms effected by
means of these acts of the English Parlia
ments, without feeling that prohibitory
legislation, iu some form, has probably
an impertaut mission te fulfil in relation
te the suppression of certain monstrous
evils and abuses growing out of the lquer
traffic. Iu tempcrance reform there is a
vast amount et reuirh work te be derre, for
which the irieuds of temperance must rely
largely en tire strong arm of the law.
It is evident howeor, that the power of
prohibitory legislation, necessary and
wholesome as the intarj osiiien of rt may
be, leaches net beyond what we have
called the external aspects of the temper
ance question. Its work though im
portant, is essentially of a neg
ative, bitbhervietrt . and preparatory
character, as all legislation ou questions
relating te morals must noeessarily be.
As the law may de much te make possi
ble, aud te protect, the proper religious
observance of the Sabbath, which religious
observanco itself, however, is the lesult
of altogether different forces ; se legisla
tion may, by removing hindrances, de
much te help and protect the growth of
temperance, which virtue itself, hewever,
comes net by legislation. The law can, in
a measuri, cut off the supply from with
out ; it cannot extinguish the demand
from withiu. It carr suppress greggcrics ;
it cannot eradicate the depraved appetite
for drink. It can remeve external aud
excrescent nuisances, hut notfltbe great,
internal aud feutnl nuisance itself.
It can give us orderly streets, but
net well ordered "characters. Solf-re-straint,
the very essence of temper
ance, it has no power te bestow. Neblo
as is the service which legislation may
render, te the cause of temporance ioferm
it is constitutionally incompetent for the
high olTice into which many prohibitionists
seem desirous te thrust it. It is no "sov
ereign remedy ;" it cannot be depended
upon as a " specific" for the euro of in-
temperance. This insufficiency of legisla-
tteu has beeu deeply felt by thoughtful
men in all ages. Jt was pointed out long
age by the great master of Greek history.
Temperance reform is net primarily aud
as te it internal aspects, a question of
legislation. It is primarily, net a question
of cairying ler prohibition the Legislature
that sits in Albauy or Harrishtirg, but the
far mera difficult question of carrying
for prohibition that mere august and
iniluential legislature which sits in the
seirl of every man.
New, what the temporance movement
desires te prohibit is drunkenness, and
the liquor traffic se far as this may be
found te minister te the provalenco of
drunkenness ; things in their own nature
most deserving of prohrbrtren. Agarnst
these evils, the priuciple of prohibitory
legislation is sound and safe, because the
moral scute at ouce condemns the crime
of the druukard and the crhnoef him who,
for gain, deliberately helps te make am'
keep him a drunkard. But, when the
prohibition policy, desiring te maku its
prohibition stronger still, geos farther,
aud, along with drunkeness and gioir gieir
gcry keeping, includes withiu the
scope of itn prohibition, as things
impliedly te be condemucd, acts
which the moral sonse does net con
demn, it loses, instead of gaining, in
strength thereby. The moral sense can
never be madcte rise up against the mere
having or drinking of wine or whisky as it
docs against drunkenness and drutrkard
making. It may be natural for the prohi
bitionist, in his fierce wrath, te leso sight
et this distinction, and, in his deep abhor
rence of the cur&e of intempcrance, te
wish, by one stroke of the law, te sweep
out the existonce of the material substance
which the drunkard drinks and the rum
seller sells. But, all the same, the great
law remains that nothing mere safely may
be prohibited than the thing itself which
is te be prohibited, aud than whatsoever
gees beyond this is ultimately injurious
and net beneficial. The certainty of a re
action sooner or later ; ifie debauching and
demoralizing of the moral sentiment of the
people, which is the real, ultimate source
of all prohibiting energy and power, and
the bringing about thus of a last state of
affairs worse than the firbt ; such are seme
of the dangers which attend the attempt
te make prohibition stronger thau it
may legitimately he made.
It. is characteristic of the Deca
logue that it observes the modera
tion of which we are speaking ; its
prohibitions are exclusively such as the
moral sense of mankind instantly rises up
te unite iu making. It confines itself
throughout te the prohibition of things
which in themselves are wrong and te be
forbidden. TbJM tacit refusal te prohibit
mere than is actually te be prohibited, is
one principal ffescu of its persistence,
permanence and power, as a moral law
for all ages and for all men. And this is
the reason above referred te, why, en the
main issue, the prohibitionist may net
appeal te the analogy of a prohibiting
Decalogue, te which, at an incidental
point of the argument, he is entitled te
refer. The Ten Commandments never
outrun the moral sense ; but the prehibi
tien policy, se far at least as by implica
tion it seeks te prohibit drinking as well
as drunkenness, does. What we have
said of the Ten Commandments holds
true of the Scriptures as a whele ; there is
much in Ged's word against the sin of
drunkenness), nothing against drinking
in itself considered. It holds true
also of the example of our Lord
Jesus Christ. If the very use of wine is a
thing te be prohibited, it is impossible te
understand II is miraculous chaugiug of
water into wine at Cana, or his appoint
ment of the use of wine in a sacrament of
which be commanded the perpetual obser
vance. The teaching of the apostles is of
the same spirit. Notwithstanding intem
perance was as prevalent, aud the wish
for its speedy and thorough suppression as
natural iu these days as new, the epistles
of the New Testament, though containing
manifold prohibitions against drunkenness
contain none agarnst the making or the
use of theso liquids en which men become
drunk. There is something striking and
impressive in this reticence ; in this carm
and steadfast loyalty te the princi
ple of prohibiting that which is te be pio pie
hibited, and nothing mere. It is wc"' rer
us, iu our prohibiting zeal, te study the
nnure of prohibition as it exists in (..V
'Verd, in the example of Christ, in 'no
teaching of the apostles, u: tLc
Christian religion ; hew deeply earn
est, yet hew self restrained it is , Lew it
never gees beyond a certain limit : never
loses its head, as -men say ; never
blindly and passionately undertakes
te make a stronger prohibition
of things wrong by forbidding things
net wieug. It would he well for
rrs if we could see that this self limitation,
this following in the wake of the prohibi
ting moral setrse is the secret of its
strength and duration. Iu saying this,
we are net uumindlul of the fact that the
New Testament contains the principle of a
prohibition mere -comprehensive and
powerful than that of any prohibitory
temperance law ; the prohibition, namely,
as regards the use of any lawful thing
which ene who is governed by the spirit
of Christ is impelled, after the example of
St. Paul, te exercise against hinrself out
of loving condescension te the weakness
of a weak brother. This, hewever, is a
.matter bolengmg te the sphere of Chr s
tian liberty, and with which prohibitory
legislation (which alene concerrrs us hore)
has nothing whatever te de.
It is characteristic of prehibitcry legis
lation in regard te all ether crimes, that it
prohibits the crime itself, and, for the
effectual prohibition of it, relics (as from
thenatare of thocase legislation must nec
essarily de) upon the infliction of a penalty
for the commission of it. There is no
geed reason te believe that prohibitory
legislation agaiust intomperance is te be
th- only exception te this rule. The
scheme of abolishing drunkenness by abol
ishing drinking, of suppressing intemper
ance by making it a physical impossibility
is a very grand one indeed, but there is no
precedcrrt iu the annals of legislation
agains crime, te show that it is a feasible
ene. It may well be doubted whether
temporance legislation will evor get be
yond the Imiuble aud homely necessity
of dealing with drunkenness as theft
or any ether crime is dealt
with. In saj'iug this, we are net
teaching the monstrous doctriue that
things must be allowed te take thoir'ceurso,
that the sale of liquor must go en, and
that drunkenness must be dealt with as it
occurs. We have no belief iu things " tak
ing their course," in regard te this evil,
as they seem te be deirrg at present, irr
ra:my a community, in a most unwar
ranted and intolerable manner. We have
already sufficiently expressed etrr convic
tion that legislation may and must de
much toward putting a step te intemper intemper intomper
aneo by putting a step te the free course
of the liquor traffic. What we mean te
say is, that, when prohibition by law shall
have geno te its utmost reach, and shall
have done all within its power by mani
fold regulations and restrictions te sup
press intemperance, it will find itself
tothered by the necessity te which all ether
prohibition by law is subject, the neces
sity of prohibiting and punishing the
crime itself. Legislation will accomplish
much before it reaches this point ; but
this confine it will net cress. Its essential
prohibition will be located where it be
longs, against drunkenness and the mak
ing of drunkards ; things in themselves te
be prohibited, and sufficiently definable
for all practical purposes. And in this
self restraint its strength will lie ; mcre
than this would weaken, instead of
strengthening, its prohibition . ,
Meanwhile, as regards the matter of
procuring stricter legislation against in
temperance, it is evident that such legis
lation is net pessible wherover there is
net the will te cuforce theso laws, many
of thorn most oxcellont, which already
exist. Frederick the Great said of Jeseph
II., emperor of Germany, that he always
wanted te take the second step before he
had taken the first. It TeuM net be rasy
te acquit of a similar absutdity tuose
communities which demand tLe weeping
prohibition of a constitutional rrrendeK-nt,
while destitute of the ceurage aatl energy
te enforce the already e.v-jtir.g k'vs
against uelliug liquor without licence, en
Sunday, or te minera and habitual
drunkards. " Whoseover hath, te htm
shall be given." Whenever auy commu
nity is ripe for a stricter prohibition the
token of it will be its ability and willing
ness te use that measure of prohibition
which the laws already . afford. Ner
could there be a better omen for the
cause of prohibitory temperance legisla
tion, than the high aud steru resolution,
which is already manifesting itself in some
quarters, te exact a strict obedience te
