THE ROOT °FMB MATTER
'•We cannot see our way de3r towartiti

patties that refuse :tn.] r wise

t (Les. Nur. Dirt. Cuu. 1. O .
of G. T.)
The right to 'exist involves the right
to the means of perpetuating existence:
Our- goverment is the result of the aR•
gregated exercise of the individual Goa
given right .of self-prest r cation. The
right to form it [wolves also the right
to change it. •
Its founders stalti4 "their lives, their.
fortunes, and their saw-ed honor" to
secure to thenibeives and to their pos
terity such rights. I They priied them
highly. As:the tesults of their efforts
we havelhe constitutional guarantee
that it. iq .- the right of the people "to
alter, reform or aboliAl their govein
laellt in such ma . uner as tley
proper."
- The power that refuses to permit the
exercise of such right by the ptople,
practically nullifies the right itself.
The right to traffic in alcoholic bever
ages.is neither a God-given nor inde
feasible one. It is simply a privilege
granted by law. through our courts or
excise boards, and may be withheld at
discretion, or the law authorizing the
granting of such privilege may be re
pealed and the privilege wholly denied.
Two classes of persons object to the
prohobition of the traffic, claiming
that such prohobition ie a , trespass rip
en their rights and
_liberty.
The dealer objects, that it deprives
- him ►f his means of livelihood. It is
true it deppives him c'.f his particular
zneausof livelihood. But he has no
right to complain of this. The author.
ity that grants him lideuse for a con
sideration may refuse ko renew it. As
to the rights of the two parties in the
case, the public has just as clear a right
to- refuse to grant license as the., dealer
has to refuse to accept the terms under
which it is offered. The government has
the same right to refuse to grant privil
eges destructive of self, as the
Dealers under the license system
have no right to complain of the appli
cation to them of the rule: which they
enforce against , others. The license
system prohibits all who have: no license.
leis partial prohobition. It is' pp
posed to make it general and' treat all
alike.
. The second class are tht drinkers.
Stop the sale of liquor and the drinking
will stop, unless drinkers make it for
their own use. Sumptuary laws, such
are called, and are objected to.
When a party of men declare against
all samptuary laws, they declare that
they would not abridge people's rights
as to drink, food or apparel even to
save the government or protect any
portion of its subjects from destruction.
They thus deny the right of self-preser-
vation so far as appliable to government
when such right comes in opposition to
taste or appetite, however morbid or
depraved. The State—the Nation is
made up of individuals. That which
destroys or injures personsdestroys or
injures integral parts of the State. If
'the State has the,powerj to protect its
several parts, it mast have power over
the enemics of these parts. People to
live under the protection of government - ,
must yield somewhat to the organiza
tion Mutt prutccta them. That, gwreiu
ment is best which La ords the best pro
tection with the largest liberty consis
tent therewith, in other wOrdS the lar
gest liberty with the least trespass or
yielding of natural rights. -
All crimes and offences are trespasses
upon rights. Now it comes down to
this that if three-fourths of the crimes
committed result from the liquor traf
fic, then by prohibiting it, three.-fourtiis
of the whole work of governmental
protection scan be accomplished with
no rights saerficed or yielded save those
of • the thinker to his grog.
' Most grog drinkers will adn.it in
their sober moments, that they would
the better off without it. These know
the elangerotis tendency and general
results of their habits, i►ud that their
practioes - are to an. extent at least crim
inal in - character. So 'the only right
taken or yielded by prohobition is the
right of self-conscious offenders to pur-
Ate a dangerous practice, if right it
may be callel
Hence, this is the wisest and most
Lcuelicial , .governmeut act possible,
i.,:vause it kill effect most with the
1.-ist expenditure. Ti is the "ounce
~f in,reation worth many , pounds of
rare. ,•
Thu constraints of law should, fall
upon the wrong doer. The law that
proteetS wrong doing, and causes evil
to fall upon the innocent, is a fraud.
The law that does not restrain the
wrong doer is useless for protection.
The question of prohobition. is simply
a question as to whether the morbid
unnatural appetite for strong drink . has,
stronger demands for gratification at
the hands of the government,' than men,
women and children have fur protec
tion from all the terrible evils result
ing therefrom. In other words, is the
right to grog S.) B:iered that all other
rights must be sacrificed for it gratifi
cation?'
Temperance is a personal virtue, the
same as the practice of • -honesty
or any other virtue. Any subject
or qaestiou upon which it be
comes necessary to make laws for the
public good, becomes thereby a politi
cal question. We measure evils by their
known affects. Goierument must meet
and grapple with the enemies of its sub
jects, and treat them according to their
jtyst deserts, whatever their guise - or
garb. It it cannot do this, it is 'un
worthy the function. If the evils of
the traffic rise above all others, then the
quc-stion of treatment becows pars
mount to others.- The fact that it ex li
-
ists bylgovernmeet• sanction, runs riot
under government seal, - is an . admission
-of goVe i ronient authority' over it.. It is
like a ravenous beast wearing a govern
ment Collar, protected by government
authority, let loosd upon the people,
worrying, maiming antlrdestroying the m
_
by the hundred thousands. Such sanc
tion and .protection pitt4 the govern
ment.in the position of trespasier and
-aggressor. :upon the; people, liable to
action' for all damages if it could be
• brought auto a court of equity. •
•lAut the p.ople -are theinselves the
rulers,esercising such functions through
their chosen agents, It is an error how
evei to assume that public ()Onion rules,
or becomes crisalized into law as-'
against controlling selfish interests, or
ganizred, and under 2 , Unita leaders.
Popiilar sentimeut is agsiust the liquor
traf f ic and has been for many years, yet
it is bolstered up by law; our public
records certify to the good 'inorat char
acter of those engaged in it; and they
jnstify themselves by the sanction it
gives, and the partnership in thw profit
by the public, and the influence they
exert 'upon those high iu position and
honor in the laud. They are a unit in
purpose as to the 'protection
deceive the
traffic. Their policy is divide, deceive
and conquer,
The people took forty-one counties of
this State from them at the first outset..
That victory- wawa proof .to them that
the question must be kept from .the
heople. lt must be buried under the
rubbish of party interests and preju
diciti, behind party lines. The people I
now ask these parties to give' them an
opportunity of deciding the question of I
license, by voting on a constitutional
anieudment. It is a right which their .
constitnt.on guarantees to them. These
pieties are in such ft ar of the liquor in
tent at, that they dare not, CV' n deel ire
in favor of giving th people au oppor
tunity of exercising au utiquestiono
constitutional right to settle a question
of vital importance to them and• their
posterity. One which looms up above
all others in importance in any aspect
from which it May be viewed. - k
The committee on resolutions in the
Republican State Convention, held, at
Harrisburg; September Bth, refused to
I
adopt one in ,favor of such a measure,
Honorable George Landon, who pre
sented and urged the adoption of _ such
a resolution, says, "Here it necessarily
endeti r Under the circumstances the
passage. of the measure was an utter
impossibility 'in open convention." '
Now the question ; comes, what shall
the people do?: The Deiliperatic party
as au organiz.ition stanis minutely op
posed to what it calls sumptuary lairs. Its
policy, openly avowed, is for that traffic.
The Republican party Claiming and
really holding a large portion of the
temperance element of the Slate in its
ranks refuses : to give the influence of
its power as an organiz itiow is favor of
granting the people an opportunity of
exercising a sacred
.right. A. right no
less sacred than the right of self govern
ment itself. R. is the right, to .secure
which, our fc. , refathers\pledged their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor. The question is frankly put:—
Is it not a refusal of an opportunity to
exercise a right equivalent. to 'the denial
of the right itself? .
..
Political parties claim to be the CuSto- 1
dians of the people's interests. If they,'
reins to give their influence in of
such interests what claims have they to
th pport of the People? . Are they to
lie forever and receive support for
eu
hat they did 'in the distant paSt, doing
.
nothing for the' present . or future?
The liquor men are a power, and
wield that poWer successfully, because
they are a unit in their purpose to pro
tect their traffic. If those' opposed,
would learn wisdom from them in this
respect and put it in prahtice at the
polls, politicians • would - respect them
and cheerfully accede to their demands.
The convention, by whose request
Hon.'Geo. Landon presented the subject
as above, adopted in its resolutions the
sentiment at the he Ad of this article and
also unanimously the following
Resolution : "Wc'declare it to he our
determined purpose in the. future to
vote onlY . for such men and candidates
of those Parties whose ptisition and
pledges arc unequivocal upvi, two .u.si,
important question beforelhe people of
our State." . .
This is the key to the solution•of the
whole ,question. Let every man who is
opposed to the liquor traffic form • ench
a resolution in his own mindland sacred
, ly keep it, and the desired object will
soon be obtained.
'James 11.1.' Wilson, the candidate-for
State Treasurer, nominated by the Pro
hibition party of Pennsylvania . , is - the
,4.
only condidate f that. office that an
swers the Conditions of this resolution.:
But says one: 4 Yo - i throw awayyour
vote if, you vote for hiin and only help
the Democrats, who are more strongly
opposed to you -than the Republicans
- are. Of the two ; evils:choose tho least."
We should choose neither. To vote
for one of two parties because• It is
strong is simply submitting the vote to
be determined by might instead of right.
It is ignoring eery principle of right of
action higher Plait that of worldly, time
serving polioy. It is practically saying
I will give the devil my vote_ becanSe
others do. To vote for the right is no
more throwing the - vote away than is
casting sued into a fertile soil. • .
The powerbf votes upon politicians
is almost magical.. "How: inany.votes
back . your claim, air ?" says the politi
cian." "EnoUgh. to turn the scale for
or:against you." "Very
us the vote that -will assure our success
and you shall have what you - a emand."
They are the most practical men in the
world. Let the people of Pennyslvania
opposed to the trail:lc, vote their princi- .
ples on this question this .year, and give
assurance -that they will do. the same
next year. on the State ticket and candi
dates for .the Legislature they will
see an auspicious beginning of a grand!
