It is claimed that property Val- cut

sumoption without proof. Waxa- T"

.a year's trial, found it impracticable ._

at least 50 per cent, is amnothler W
problem that may be answered in I
the negative. Men who drink ;will -sa
have whiskey, and to make it cost Inh
more but adds- to the burdens of of
their families, without ay corres- sp
pending benefit. fel
ligh license, to be sure, makes
dcar whiskey also, but it keeps Ihe the
money at home, and does not send 
it : d:ift, with its deficits to be sup- the
plied by taxation. 3

Ever the 8ame. tlI
We hear that the Trmie Democratf
:'has been accused of '"swapping c'
horses" on the prohibition question. int
Any one thus representing us, has tin
been ai very careless reader of our so(
editorial utterances, or wilfully i,,
malicious in perverting their mean
ing. ,We said from the first Ithat st
we favored high license. Believing th
in the p)reselt issue the ends of
high license will be gaiiesd b~ the cre
-wets. (as see editorial of last week) 
we, the more earnestly favor the
:ant!-;rbl.ibition side, and we defy f'
any one to show any expression of
.ours to the contrary.
Moreover when Mr, W. ,R. Percy
-showed the editor jof this paper te
]petition which he was oiroulating
for thebo election now pen~ig, ihe
asked for The Tra Dminocrat's co- er
·operation. The editor replied: "I tbe
have never favored prohibitio,'" pari
and gave reasons t'herefor as joits i tio
. being ineffctive, a position from in
which we have never receded. po
However, as this was the only by
paper in the parish, we thought it lut
b'mt common justice to give both cor
ates- the free ue of our olumns. a g

or and oliesr in their communication,
l published in another colimn. 'h'lese t
gentlemen realize that the question
50 which is to be put to' the voters on
the 18th is furely an economic one,
ter and forbear discussing it from
n any other point of view.
0 But many persons persist in re- '
garding it as a moral.quest ion, an I
it is this which obscures the real t
issue, and prevents nnltberss of per- c
solns fromt seeing the lmutter in its t
true nature, viz, as one of social p
ecolnoinics, pure and siimple.
Ne3ly every one deprecates the
liquor traffic. But sinc the the wisest
Slphilosophers and political econo.
mlists reallize "that :lti a';llnnot be
If madc'moral by legislation, and that
vice and crimei cannot be exterini
nated, bl.t only restrained by law,
it becomes necessary to restrain the
liquor traffic. The matter rcsolves
itself into the consideration, "Will
as high license or prohibition, the bet
ter kept the saloon evil within
bounds ?" The man who thinks
ic high license will do it, may be just I
is as honest, as sincere, as moral, as
it the one who says to his brother man,
I 'you shall not buy liquor where 1
t can see you do it." The high li
st ceise man has the additional advan
tage of proposing something prac- a
ticable, something sanctioned by 1
lie law, violations of which can be
rs prosecuted without the odious sys- a
Rx system of turning neighbors and t
of friends into spies and informers. 0
Thlne.ian who pays the license is
himself interested in seeing the law c
h. enforced. e
On the other hand, it may be s
eP said without successful contradic
er tion, that prohibition does not pit
ry hibit: It shuts up the bar-room, t
of but it does not and cannot prohibit t
men from getting all the whiskey
they w:at, and it gives all the at- f
e- tractiveness of ''Forbidden fruit"
i to the young and inexperienect1, as
yn has been abundantly proved by ex- t
to perience with minors il prohibition
towns. Therefore mom al enlds are
not subserved by prohibitive laws
re and the miian, who truly wishes to `
benefit his weaker brother and to t
protect the publie, should not be
St deceived into thinking that prohi- i
bition is the only MORA,L means of
accomplishing such alin. I
