OUR DEADLY ENEMY.
That is What Dr. Gambrell Styles the
Liquor Traffic in Georgia.
To a large extent now the public
mind is enlightened with respect to
the liquor traflic. It is everywhere in
contempt.
A noted liquor organ not long since
complained, that the temperance fa¬
natics had succeeded in arousing such
a prejudice against the trade, that it
would be necessary for dealers to be
specially guarded iu order to lives, ii
down.
It is difficult to comprehend how any¬
one can have auy toleration for the
liquor traffic, when it is judged by its
fruits. It is the enemy of all good.
As things are, it is uo longer merely a
questiou of taking money over a coun¬
ter and passing liquor to the buyer.
It is not a questiou of supplying nu
evil that people will have. The man
is blind who does not know that every
saloon is a place of seduction. Efforts
are made constantly to lure the weak
and to increase drinking. Each saloon
is a man-trap, devised with all the
devilish ingenuity that the conscience¬
less love of money can devise.
Against this love of money, no claim
of humanity stands good fora moment.
It is as heartless and unfeeliug as the
grave. has
Moreover, it come to pass now
that the saloon has become the resting
place of every vice. A skilled State’s
attorney said to the writer: “The sa¬
loon is the right place to begin the in¬
vestigation of every secret crime. It
is tv holly lawless. It is a school of
murder, of perjury, of profanity, of
obscenity, of lewdness, of idleness, of
theft, of gambling, of common lying,
of blackmail and of political corrup¬
tion.”
In Us very nature, born of the two
monster vices, corrupt appetite aud in¬
ordinate love of money, it is incapable It
of patriotism, incurably purity, or bad. decency.

Every effort to it
given it additional strength. High li¬
cense, if not high only enough concentrated to be pro¬ des¬
hibitory, has
potic power in the hands of a few of
the more unscrupulous of added the liquor the
dealing fraternity and to
control of the saloon. Regulative saloons have laws
have failed, because the
used their enormous power in city pol¬
itics to elect officers in sympathy with
them rather than with the law. There
is not a city of 25,000 in America
which is not dominated in a large
measure by the liquor traflic. It is al¬
ways in politics for one sole end—the
enlargement of its power. In national
politics, the dark hand of this great,
corrupt, greedy monopoly is public ever rais
ed to strike dov/n every man
who dares to oppose its rule.
More aud more the question con¬
fronts us: What shall we do with the
saloon? If we think of building up
churches, over against them in all
their work of saving men is this infer¬
nal enemy, undermining, luring, per¬
verting, and destroying the work of
the churches.
If we think hand of educating of liquor the masses traffic
we find the the
pulling down and destroying our best
efforts. If we seek to refine society,
everywhere the beastializing “and influence baffles
of the saloon confronts us
us. If we seek to raise up the already fal
len men and women, w r e find everywhere
the sly hand of the saloon pulling them
further down. If we seek to purify
politics, we find the saloon everywhere
putting up jobs, combining with met¬ com
bines, controlling caucuses, and
ering all patriotic effort dangerous, dif¬
ficult, and usually as politics go, im¬
possible of success.
The saloon is today, in every which res¬
pect, the deadliest fee with so¬
ciety has to contend. It is a vampire
sucking the life blood of business and
threatening us, as a nation, with ruin.
It puls the worst elements iu control
of our cities and the cities control the
country. this matchless evil has
received In Georgia heavy blows at the
patriotic many and home-lov¬
hands of men

to furnish a collateral or basis for

people for a reserve fund sufficient to
furnish the country with money. Both
come by taxation, and, of course, the
people have got the loan interest the to pay.
No man is going t» govern

Thomas Jefferson in his day warned dan
the American people against the
gers of a paper money currency. And
John C. Calhoun did the same thing.
But our Populist friends are slandering
both of those dead patriots by claiming
them as flat money men. We would
like to see silver come to the front.
But we would like to see the govern¬
ment of the United States attempt to
float the silver of the world and keep in¬
it on a parity with gold at 16 to 1,
dependent of other nations. It would
certainly drive gold out of circulation
and give us a single silver standard. It
is not what a man makes that makes
him rich, but what he saves; hence, if
the farmers of tbe Southern States
would raise eyerything they can at
home and cotton as a surplus crop, they
would soon become independent people,
