crime which has been brought upon man


kind through its instrumentality. Il is these
" reasonable men," who are stumbling-blocks


in the pathway Of the Temperance reior-


mation--who are the perpetrators Of lntem-


perance, and the encourages and patrons OF


rum-producers and rum-sellers Had there


never been a temperate drinker, there never
had been drunkard had there never been
a reasonably man---there never had been
an unreasonable one. So long as there are
moderate drinkers, SO long will there be
drunkards. They are the stock from whence
the drunkard springs. They are " beasts''
in embryo. Away with such absurdity.
With disease, madness, despair and death
looking them in the face--while all around
them is seen poverty, wretchedness, and woe,
the fruits Of intemperance, a calm observer
Of these things--for they are not done in
corner--can calmly talk of the reasonable,
moderate use of the cause of all the ruin.
