VOLUME 5. KEYNOLDSVILLE, PENN'A., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2H, 1890. NUMBER 25. Editor Stah: I wish to tnko nrtvnntnifo of yqnr courteous ofTiT, oponlnjj your column to the dlsouiwlon of political creeds, and add our mlto to tho chorus of jimH'ifl voices. Wo bollove tho greatest economical, and only moral, question before tho American people to-day, Is the aboli tion of tho liquor trarflo. By as much as humanity Is greater than commerce and man greater than money, is the platform adopted by the Prohibition party at Pittsburg, givater thon any othor or all other platforms adopted for this campaign. But lot It be understood that in making a plea for humanity, for American homes, for the recognition of moral questions in government, we do not Ignore nor underestimate the indus trial or financial needs of the hour. On the contrary we hold that the annual wastage of more than a billion dollars, required to pay our drink bill, turned Into legitimate channels of trade would immeasurable stimulate business and In no small degree relieve the stringency of the times. We demand the absolute, uncondi tioned abolition of the liquor traffic. In making this demand we have perfect regard to the legitimate rights of every man. As a party 'we have nothing to do with men's personal habits, but our relation to' the saloon is that of antag onist to a pernicious public policy. It is not our wish to infringe any man's rights or Interfere with any legitimate branch of business, but we hold that the liquor trafflo has not the slightest shadow of an apology for Its existence. It creates no values, contributes no hap piness, supplies no normal want, con serves no legitimate interest. It Is the crowning evil, the supreme iniquity, the greatest crime, the most pernicious factor in our American socioly and poli tics. It Is the open enemy to peace, purity, order, law, home, State and church. It is .civilization's beast of prey, fattening itself on the poverty of helpless womon and children. It is the mother of vice, the destroyer of homo, the corrupter of politics, and the slayer of justice. It Is, to use the language of Dr. Herrlck Johnson, "A waste of val ues, a breeder of lust, a hotbed of lel- qulty, a constant menace to peace and good order, and an unroiloemable mil- Banco. However if we exalt the saloon to a place co-equal with other branches of tmxincss, and grant Jhe 240,000 br- looaists a respectable place in society, then the mischief wrought, the misery superinduced by the traffic would demand its Abolition, Inasmuch as public good always supercedes individual rights. We have kocomo indignant, and rightly so, over tho slaughter of Armen ian Christians by tho "Unspeakable Turk." I do not hesitate to assort that if bis future power and place among nations, duponded on the American vote, he would be annihilated. The Turk has succeeded In butchering a possible 50,000 In the lost -quarto r of a century. We have In our midst a legal ized institution that murders thousands more than that each year, and the knowledge of tho Xuct fails to stir our peoplo from 'their apathy. Minis ters, bishops, editors and statesmen have gone Into hysterics orer the pros pect of a debased currency, but the .do- . basing of American manhood goes serenely on without protest. It is repeatedly urged that government has nothing to do with rogulatlng men's personal habits. We have already shown that this is not our demand. But government has to do with publio evil and public safety. Now the govern ment has already reoognized and dealt with this eril in the adoption of the license" system, by whloh, we assert, common sense Is cruelled and Ameri can statesmanship put to the blush. If It is in the provinoe of government to license an evil, does It exceed Its prerog ative in prohibiting it? If it is wrong to drink liquor, it is wrong to sell It. If It Is wrong to sell it, it ia wrong to grant to another the right to sell It. If the individual may not be justified in wrong doing, shall we justify the State In wrong doing? Can that which la morally wrong be made legally right without compromise of conscience and disregard of God's law? "Woe unto -' him (individual or State) that giveth bis neighbor drink, that putteth the bottle to him and maketh him drunken also." "Righteousness exajteth a na tion but sin ia a reproach to any people." We commend the principles for whloh Messrs. Levering & Johnson stand as worthy the consideration and support . of all good men.
