Local Option. i Tbe Warren Ledger tbus relates', the wdrkingiof Local Option In tbat place: Coder the Local Option lw, Watreo Couoty voted tbat liquor nor brer 'abould aotbeaold witbio ita limit, except lor medical purpoarf. Tbe liwnaea all expir ed la June, aod moat ol them lo "March. Wb a Me rneult IB thh) hort epaea or timet Who hat been benefliled? Let u aeo. There are thirteen placea in town where bard cider ! dealt out. It la not a popular drink, but to tba abwnoe or beer and whrakey, men do drink it and beoome drunk upon it. Ita elfecta upon tbe drinker are even worie than 'wblsky, aod greatly worae tbao beer. But bow about tbe aale of beer? It cannot be retailed; but every peraon who can purobaaa a kg aod deairra lodoaa, can. The' eooarqueoce la that beat kegi are aa plentiful aa blackberries la Aaguat. The breweries have doubled their aalaa over last year. ' Whoa Ibe saloons aold It, men were content to drop lo, take, a (lata and go about tbalr business. Now Ibey purchase a keg. A keg or beer i wotlbleaaaoon after It is drawn from-. Krienda are called in lo drain the keg be fore It loses Its vim, aid dozena or gtaeeee are drank where ono waa before. How about wblsky ? Go to tbe expresa office and Bod out. Packages arrive everyday for numerous parties, who before contented tbomselvee with a single drink; aod there are more druaken men on our streets, we are told, tbao lormurly, when Ibe botela and anloons were licensed to sell. Then tbrra la no lerr liquor drank, aod far more cider wblah is more hurtlol than whisky or beer.. What la tbe effect upon trade! Ask any mao ol business la any town in Ibe county. Tbe general answer la tbat business waa never ao dull.. In Warren lha affects are really prostrating. Straogera who formerly did their tradjng hare, not Hodlog it bandy ta procure tbeif dtlnka, are forming, or bate already form ed atber business relations in Corry, James town and Tituaville, where liquor ean be bad for the aaklog, and where Ibey can ge and return Ibe same day, on tba railroads, al a trifle expenditure. Ask oar mechanloe how their buaineaa la. They will tell you that where laat ' year ibey kept several journeymen, ana worksa hara themselves, work was constantly pressing, while now there la 00 work lor tbe journeymen, and hardly sufficient lo keep an apprentice at work. Hundreds oflhonsands ol do. lata ate ihua being diverted Iron our oounty wbiob legitimately belong here, on accouol ol no licensed placea wbete whisky or beer can be had. Tbla entire stagnation is not attributable to Ibis eause, aa limes are gee erally dull; but much ef II II la. Ask tbe men who are traveling over the Slate. Tbr-y will tell yoa that In all placea where licenses prevail business is good, and where Leeal Option prevails buaineaa la dull. ' I work aa Inequality coocentratea trade in tba whisky towns; aad w aot lee there la a general murmur of dleooatent where I iceo sed aeiooM aod botela are aot to be found. There ia no diminution ol the drinking by our weal population, aod Iboaa outside or our limits are debarred from Iba privileges wblcb Ibey seek and iod elsewhere. Tbe law eheuld be made to operale throughout Ibe State or It should be repeal ed oa tbe aeaembilog of the Legislature; and that la most likely. Many who worked for Local Option would vote for license aow, oa purely butioeu grounds. The' ed voeatea of Local Option bad good loten lions; but ibey misjudged, it seems to as. They deeired lesa w bleky drinking, and did not look beyond to tbe effect en t rada In places where lieanses were refused.
