Like many otherjournal of its stripe when i: has no grounds to sustain its assertions, it starts outwiththe Cry of " misrepre- sentation and falsehood ” and ends up with a grand plea for permission to have its own whiskey, and yet maintain its respectability; under the ganzy cloak of “ individual liberty.” ‘ Those iwho have not a ~pers‘onal aehiiaintance With the writer of the articles in question can form a pretty ’correctéopinion of the worth of his judgment on a matter of this kind by the following extract from his : “ Mis- representation has always been the chief stock in trade of the pro‘iibitionists, and if‘”th-'e LIBERAL adopts the same means of defence, it is only’ucting on the principle of its party,” New for its to (lo-- vote our space in answering arguments advanaefl by a journal that can hold so little of the' respect of an intelligent re- sepectable and reading public as one that n ill base its refint'ation on such statements Would be simply animposâ€" ition on the good nature-and common sense of our readers.- But we can, with Cullglulty and perhaps profit, refer to one or two points advanced- by our unscrup- ulous cotem, especially as the snhjcct is one of public interest. With regard to the Maine Law, and the report of’ the counmssions the Advocate Could toss up irs hat with triumph over their report, \\ hen i-t first made reference to abstract sentenCes of it " in support ofits own arguments but when we gave the com- plete summing up of those com oners the b'Kl with the gondafiter they had gone through there work, the Ant/ornite says “ the LIBERAL quotes several extracts from :hoir reports as proof pnsitiVe that the lav. in that State is a complete suc; cess,3 and‘ then picks out the parts fa~ voruhle to its own groundsfind comments on them without reference to the in‘linitly stronger points which favor the success of the law. This, in itsâ€"self'i‘s one" of the strongest tacit admissions o’l-the "part of the Advocate of the success'of the law.

" \Ve can- not help saying however, that our idea of personal liberty, wheteer it be looked at from a Scriptual,‘ British, rational or humane point of View, is, that e’very man should be permitted to do as he pleases as long as he does right, and Hoes not endanger the well beillg of either hir - self or his neighbor.

Those who have been there for any length of time (the wintei included) knowl‘n-iat the statements made by paid advocates of the liquor. trade are garbled and incorrect, and that they draw from ,them false conclusions. As the question of prohibition is moving rapidly to the front in politics in this’and other countries, as a. Conservative I wish to enter my timelv protest against the ‘ party I belong to becoming in any way indenlified as opposed to prohibition. L is well known amongst our neighbours that Democrats and the liquor interest don’t mean two, and some Reformers in Canadaliint sometimes in that direction about A“ Tories ” but ‘ I claim iu‘ithout cause, anchhope it will continue :0 ; and whileyone of those who hold firmly the wisdom of “ Canada. for the Canadians,” in short protection to native industry, 1 also hold more firmly the right to protect ourselves from all that tends to lower us as a nation. either in material prosperity~ intellect, or morality. The teliiperance people of our Dominion thank you for the interest you hava created in this question at the present juncture Cf affair, so ably assisted (2) by your Conservative contemporary, and many readers will ‘ joni me in saying that the interesting and unique style of the correspom‘lenqe has been a source of pleasure as will as infor- mation. - The letter containing an account of the interview with GOVcIIOI‘ Plaisted) who is no fanatic, ;giving his knowledge and experience _ as l Attm‘ney-Geuernl of the State, together with the report of County Attorneys, is the must convincing and authoritative statémeut on the qngg~ .2.’ That it has driven the liquor traffic into dens where only criminals and tlmge who “ know no law "gather tpgether. . 1": That the great; mass of the respect- able, law-abiding people, bafter so unmy years’ trial stipporb tlm law and appqu ed of it. n 4 ,._ SIR,â€"~I{s an old-time believer in the wisdom ofprohibitgn, allow me to ‘thank and congratulate you (111 your conception and carrying out. ofitlle qriginal idea of sending tvm correspondents of different views to investvigatuu the impuntant and much-disputed question, “ is the Maine Law a success or failure,” and with all the atlgmpt at; redicule by those opposed the facts haveinever more clearly stwtcd both pro and ton, and to ,am faiiwninded people prove :-â€"~ they are “ The law relating flmrder does not presume to prevent «one man“ from murdering another in material sefl’se, but merely provides for the punishment of the murderer,” and so on with regard to other crimes. The intelligent reader is capable ofljudgiing for himself of the ab snrdity of the statement. The Advocate than tries to apologize for its utterances ‘ by? saying, “. it must 'not be inferred that we} have no faith in the criminal law, or the/tit does not serve as a. preventative in some =cases.""7 ’Here it admits what 'it, a. few sentences previously, denies. A man can have veryvlittle "'faithi’n his OWn creed when he“ himself has to tufin its apologist, and therefore cannot eKâ€"l pect others to have much faith in it. To show that all the conservattivers are not whiskey men and at, the same time show that at least one sensible person will not agree with the Advocate we insert the following communication from the ooluma ’of the Globe of April 13th: xx. at by those commissioners. This the Advocate dare not do, because of the ridiculous plight it would place it in. It would show him up to pqrfection. Then the Advocate tries to squirm out of the ridiculous position it placed its- self in by asserting that the criminal laws, shah as those against murder, felony, &c “ Were not *enacted to prevent crime,” by sayina that the LIBERAL “ by a dis- ingenio'us piraphrasc hiade us to say” &c., ‘ ‘whila we si‘inply quoted Lthe Advocaées i own Words, which- we will quota: again Mr the benefit of that Joifrnalu Here I am‘, respectfully, PROHIBITION CONSERVATIVE.
