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. A few
months only have elapsed, and yet Iba of.
reel la dearly perceptible.

oil town tbat he sprung up la lha lower

all other placea of that kind ia quite lively,

Aa ocean anecdote, apropos ol tbe "In'
