intelligence and happiness of our people iii i expect to vote for prohibition because il will diminish uu tuxes or so direct these taxes as to benefit the community by the improvement of roads bridges school houses nnd other public works tho governor of north carolina has publicly declared that for every dollar of tax paid by the liquor traffic ten dollars are rcquirod to prevent thr disorder punisb the crime and support the pauper that are caused by the use ol intoxicating drinks ono trial for murder occasioned hy whisky will often cost the county ono thousand dollars that is more than all the licensed b .. rooms pay in taxes for a whole year iv i will vote cor i'r hi hi tion because the manufacture of whisky instead ot bringing carries money oui of the state por every gallon legally manufactured ninety cent goes out for internal revenue leaving only the pitiful uin of thirty-fiv cent a gallon to r pay the distiller for all his trouble and as it req ires an army of revcu ifflcors to collect this tax ami wince tho national debt i fast approaching tho point where there will be no need f«i intornnl revenue wc can readily dis pen-e with the revenue from this manufacture v i will vote for prohibition becauso it has been tested and proved suc cessful in diminishing intemperance in maine before the adoption of prohibition tho average cosl of liquor to each inhabitant was 22.22 now the average upon tho highest estimate ia 1.75 including all blockade and illegal purchases tho state saves thirteen million of dollar annually by the law beside all the drunkenness crime poverty disease and death which thirteen millions of dollars worth of liquor can produce the experiment has been utccessfully made in sweden in uessbrook aud tyrone counties ireland in saltaire w moor and thirty nine estates and in the suburbs of liverpool england in potter county i'a yinelniid new jersey in northampton county north car olina and in many other places in all these places the laws are as ef fectually enforced as the laws against other crimes money influence ingenuity and fraud are able to evade any stal uie to some extent they will doubtless partially evade this law as they do others but the good effected will bo immense vi i intend to vote for prohibition becausol believe that it secures hu man rights and preserves true civil liberty without interfering with the highest freed un of the citizen all the great writers on law and gov ernment declare that anything that interferes with the public welfare may be restrained by law without violating tho liberty of the citizen now it is the unanimous testimony of the ablest judges and wisest statesmen that a largo part of the crimes of the land are caused by the use of spirituous liquors sir matthew hale in 1700 suid that it lhe crniies of violence and lust which he had observed dining twenty years as a judge were divided into five parts i would be seen that four of these parts were the issues and product of excessive drinking of tav ern and alehouse drinking the public testimony ol senator mcrrimon ami many judges and lawyers and the official reports of penitentiaries prisons and state charities is precisely the same as sir matthew hale's asa good citizen i believo duty requires me to vote for a law that promises to prevent four-fifths of tho violent crimes ofthe land vii prohibition will prevent i large part of the pauperism of the land and for that reason 1 will vote iin it some overseers ofthe p or declare that nine tenths of the poorbouso paupers have been made stieh directly or indirectly by strong driuk others state the proportion as somewhat less but ull agree thut but for drink moat of these paupers would bo hearty sell-supporting and tax paying citizens instead of being i burden to tho county 1 am not just ly bound to bear this burden nor to impose it on others if my v«to will prevent lt viii i propose to vote for prohibition because it will improve the health increase tho strength and lengthen the life of my follow citizens kng i isli life insurance tables show that tut abstainers live one-fourth longer than the general class of insured persons in the case of im moderate drinkers the death rate i fearfully larger where sixteen temperate persons reach the age of 80 only one intemperate person reaches that age dr cartwrighl of nov orleans writes that a !*•">:: tho yellow fever destroyed live thousand drinkers before a single sober man fell a victim dr satchwoll the president of the north carolina hoard ol health duchirestliat the death rate increases as the use of alcoholic liquors increases ix 1 am induced to vote tor prohibition because the uso of alcohol en tails diseased appetites and enfeebled constitutions upon the innocent offspring resulting in idiocy in-iiiiity vicious habits nnd impulses to crime the majority of th i<hots and maniacs in the hind aro the descendants of intemperate ancestors in europe it h;is been ascertain ed that insanity exists almost in exact proportion to tiie amount of in toxicating liquors used x t intend to vote for prohibition because the drinking habit is the no torious ally and iustigiitoi of all manner of evil und the bitter antago nist of all good whisky never made any man better but makes ever drinker worse tt is the popular bribe thai corrupts tho ballot box tho stimulant that inflames all the evil passions the opiate that stifles tho conscience tho lure ih.it entice to the brothel and tho gambler's hell that leads to the desecration of the sabbath that blinds the intellect disbands the school retards education and opposes the church of god xi i will vole for prohibition because alcohol has in it no nourishment for the body no strength for the bruin does not create either muscle tissue or fat and in most cases possesses no medical virtue and where it has curing power it is a dangerous remedy for self prescription in most cases it admits of a substitute less dangerous and more effective xii 1 have decided m vote for prohibition becauso it will afford the bcsl protection to the women of tho land from poverty insult und drunken brutality i'l female portion f our population rarely use
