Prohibition means business stagnation. | T© Workers -arcd their W.¥©s The Prohibitionists ask you for your votes against the present li- jj censing system. What do they offer you in return ?

Do'not be misled. Prohibitionists are making a crime, as Lincoln said, of that which is not a crime. Then be a good citizen and f strike out the bottom line en both ballot papers. What Statesmen. -Say: -THE-HON. JOSEPH .CHAMBERLAIN.—"I ..have seen prohibN tion at work . . . and it only leads to drinking in worse,forms than under the aid system, ..„■. There is no doubt.whatever, that'.this is a class measure 'in the strongest sense of the word, .' It-affects, it does. not affect the rich. It interferes with ti:e poor man in his convenience, in his comfort,.in.all,the..arrangements ,of his life." the Marquis of Salisbury to prohibitionists.—-' "You wish to prevent a certain number of people from getting drunk. Therefore you ask us to prevent four, five, or six times as many, who are seber consumers, from having an opportunity of the free indulgence to which they have a right. Why are we to punish the innocent in place . of the guilty ?» ■ ' JOHN STUART MlLL.—"Whatever crushes individuality is despotism, by whatever name it may be called, and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of Cod, or the injunctions of men." THE PREMIER OF N.S.-WALES-(MR. WADE).—"I will not cast a vote in favour of no-license." MR.'DOOLEY, the world-famous philosopher, says:—"All that prohibition has done so far is to make drink dear, hard to get, and d——d bad when you get it." PRESIDENT LINCOLN, the man who abolihed slavery, strenuously opposed prohibition. Hesaid:—"Prohibition.will work great injury to the cause of temperance. it is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason: in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and in making crimes cut of things that are not crime. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principle on which our governments are founded. Until my tongue shall be silenced in death, I will continue to fight for the rights of men." THE RIGHT HON. WH.LIAM EWART GLADSTONE.—" lam I glad you are not scandalised about my laxity as to the 'public-house.' I I really had no choice. How can I, who drink good wine and bitter beer j every day of my life, in a comfortable room among friends, coolly stand bg I and advise hard-working felto-v creatisurcs to take the piedge.'" i'
