CAKES AND ALE.
TO THE EDITOK. Sip.,—lf tne moderate users of wino allow the prohibitionists to become masters of this colony thero should bo "no more cakes and ale," and a severe lesson will bo given of the difference between liberty and jiving under the thumb of tho prohibitionists. If the free voters fail to fight for continuance of freedom in the way of using wino at. our public functions and wedding parties, tho voters will be condemned to slavery of the worst, kindmental slavery. If no wine can .be legally used in this colony we must say good-byo to tho wine-making industry, ana no slave will be tolerated who dares to open his mouth in favour of the " good wine that needs no bush." T.hc press, I think, should endorse the action of leaders who protest against the folly of those prohibitionists lyho say: "Bccauso 'wc' have failed to reform a few drunkards thousands of lovers of temperance shall be compelled to obey our hew commandment, 'Thou slult drink no wine.' "—I am, ctc., Temperance. . Dunedin. November 21.
