W. L. PAN LEY,
Gen. Fas. & Tkt. Agent,
Xaslmlle, Tend t
nacle to-day on the .subject: “High
License, the Monopoly of Abomi-
tion.” His text was taken from
Mathew xxvii: “It is not lawful
for to put them into the treasury be
cause it is the price of blood.” Fol
lowing is the full report of the ser
mon.
For fiteen dollars Judas Iscariot
had sold Christ. Under thrust of
conscience of regret that he had
not made a more lucrative tiling
out of it, Judas pitches the rattling
shekels on the pavement
of the temple. What
shall be done with the conscience
money? Some propose it be put
into the treasury. Others say it has
always been against the law to use
for religious or govermental pur
poses blood-money or revenues got
ten in the sale of human life. So
they decided to use the money to
purchase graves for paupers. Pick
ing out a rough piece of ground
where the broken and refuse ware
of a pottery had been cast, they set
that apart as the first Potter’s field.
“It is not lawful to put them into
the treasury because it is the price
of blood.”
We are at a point in reformatory
movements in this country where in
one shape or another it is proposed
to control or arrest the liquor busi
ness by making its merchants pay
a higli price, say five hundred or a
thousand dollars for a license. Thi?
it is said, will extirpate the tens of
thousands of low drunkeries, and
make it possible only here and there
for a rum selling establishment to
exist. The 500 or a thousand dol
lars paid the government treasury
will help support the poor houses
into which widows and orphans are
turned by the inebriation of hus
bands and fathers. Dont you see ?
This high tax will also help the ex
penses of prisons intowhich the men
are thrown for crimes committed
while drunk. Dont you see? That
will support the courts of Oyer and
Terminer, whose judges and attor
neys and constables and juries and
court houses and po r /stations find
their chief employnw .it in the trial,
condemnation and punishment of
those who offend the law while in a
date of insobriety. Don’t you see?
How any many or woman in
the United States in favor of the
great temperance reformation can
be so hallucinated as not to see that
this movement is the surrender of
the whole reformation for which
good people have been strugglin
for the last fifty years, is to me an
amazement that eclipses every
thing. My subject is high license,
the monopoly of abomination. Do
you not realize as by mathematical
demonstration that the whole re
sult f?f tl*is movement by which low
establishments are to be shut up
and splendid establishments are to
supported is going to make
rum selling and rum
drinking respectable? Nine-tenths
of these drunkeries in Brooklyn
and New York are so disgusting
that men fraying regard to their re
putation would not be seen entering
and the clerk of a store would lose
his place if se,en coining out,of one.
But, j).qw shut up these establish
ment .ami down Dfi your great thor-
ougfares you liaye buildod your
splendid palaces of inebriation,
masterpiece,s of painting on the
walls, cut glass on silver platter,
upholstery like a Turkish harem

vauts to take your hat and cane,
am? parlors with lounges on which
you can recline when you are taken
pivsterionsly ill after too much
champagne or cognac or oldJOtard.

Tell it, ye philanthropists, to all

this Digit license movement as the
monopoly of abomination.
Among other charges agaigst it I
have to say that it is anti-American
anticommon sense,anti-demons tra-
ted facts, anti-Christian. It was
written by our revolutionary fath
ers, first by pen and then by sword;
first in black ink and then in red,
that all men are equal in the sight
of the law. Impartiality is the word
written on the declaratfon of inde
pendence, constitution of the Uni
ted States and over the doors of
state national capitals. How then
dare you give to the man who can
raise$500 or $1,000 the privilege of
selling sweetened dynamite while
you deny to his neighbor the priv
ilege because he cannot raise more
than fifty dollars or can raise noth
ing? Have the small dealers in the
festive liquid no rights?I plead for
justice to the tens of thousands of
men who are engaged in a small
and prudent economical way in sel
ling extract of logwood and strych
nine, I say it is unequal and unjust
to allow the man who has money
enough to kindle a great roaring
conflagration of temptation to goa-
liead while you deny those poor fel-
themselves, had to put blanks into
every sentence to indicate where
the oaths came in. Let these espec
ially delegated men for high license
of $10,000 per year be allowed to do
all the profanity, and have full
sweep while wc put down and
sweep from community with besom
of destruction those who swear on
a small scale, and all those who
have never got beyond ”By Geor
ge,” ”My stars,” or ’’Darn it.” So
also let murder be hindered.Present
law does not avail. Murders on
Long Island! Murders hi Illinois.
Murders in Pennsylvania. Murders
all over. The vast majority of the
perpetrators escape, The defense
proves an alibi or says that the
deed was done under emotional in
sanity. The court-room is crowded
with sympathizers an when acquit
ted he is followed down the street
by a crowd who meditate sending
him to congress. The only way you
will have put an eml to murder
in this country is by tt high license
to a few men to manage tee whole
business. This common herd of as-
tassins who do their work with ear
hooks or dull, knives and Paris
green, must be put down and let a
few experts who can do the thing
without pain and by chloroform or
flash of bull-dog revolver, gently
putting the victim out of his earth
ly misfortunes—let them have all
the business. Of course that license
ought to be as high as $20,000 becau
se the perquisites of gold watches
and money safes and plethoric
pocket -hooks would soon pay the
lows of the traffic the privilege of j high license and leave a handsome
even lighting a lucifer match. I de- i sum f° r prophet,
mand equal rights for rum sellers, j You see at a glance, all irony as-
This high license plan is the prop- j ide, that if rum-selling is right we
erty qualification in most offensive j all ought to have the privilege of
shape. Why don’t you carry out
the idea and shut up all the bake
ries except those which can pay
$1,000? Why not shut up all the
butchers’ shops except those which
can pay an extravagant tax? Why
not close all the dry goods stores
except those that can pay a big
sum for the privilege? Well, you
say, that is very different. How is it
different? Well, you say, the busi
ness of selling bread or meat or
clothing does no damage, while
the selling of whisky does a great
deal of harm. There, you have sur=
rendered the question. If it does
great damage, then no amount of
money paid can give a man the
right to carry op the business. The
$500 or $1,0»»() are a bribe to the gov
ernment to let a few do that which
the very attitude of the govern
ment declares a wickedness.
So also is it anti-common sense.
Some one says, “It is impossible to
execute a prohibitory law, and as
we cannot eject the evil, let us put
upon it this one brake.” The fact
that you cannot execute fully a
law is no reason why you should
not have a law, AVljich one of your
laws is rally executed?
We have a law against Sabbath-
breaking, yet millions offend it ev
ery Sunday. We have a law against
blasphemy, but sometimes the air
is lurid with imprecation. We have
a law against theft, but all your
jails are full of burglars and high-
waymen. There is a law against
murder, but we have three murd
erers now in Raymond street jail
and scores of them in the United
states prisons. Since we have not
been able to stop these evils of
theft aiul arson and blasphemy
witchment of art thrown around and murder, why not compromise

000,000 paid down in hard cash as a

immunity. Is it common sense
that one business should have the
right to despoil all q|her business
if it pay ti special tax ? A great
northern manufacturing company
recently established themselves in
Georgia. When asked why they
located there, their answer was
‘Because this township voted to
to have no liquor sold.’ That honest
manufacturer discovered wliat we
all know, that the rum selling busi
ness hurts every other business.—
If the millions of dollars that go ev
ery year for rum were
expended in healthful directions,
there would come a boom of com
mercial and agricultural and manu
facturing prosperity 150 per cent
greater than this country ever saw.
The money that goes for drink and
has no result except ill health and
and pauperism and crime would go
for clothing, books, for education,
for homesteads, for horses and car
riages, for farms, for life insurance,
for the 10,000 comforts and luxuries
of life. You who get $2 a day for
wages, would get $4. You who get
a salary of $1,000 a year, would get
$3,000. You who receive $10,000 a
year, would receive $20,000. The
ruin seller this moment has his
clutch on the throat of every man
in America. You have to pay for
his damnable work by your honest
sweat and by the deprivation of
your household of many advanta
ges. When will the working classes
rise up against this incubus and de
cree to keep at home the drive lie
and pothouse politicians who vote
town prohibition and vote up high
license. I wish the Lord in His
mercy would give our rulers in
these Atlautic states one hour of
the swarthy and magnificent cour
age of the Iowa legislature which
had the moral force to pass an
out and out prohibitory law, and
whose governor had the grace to
sign it. Lead on, O western state,
in the glorious \yqrk of our country’;.
emancipation ! Among the last

New Yoik? but come she will, Af

best homes shall have been destroy

hundreds of thousands of our best

the heavens with their uprolling
stench, the tide will turn and good
men and women will together rise

dition from which it smoked up,
this swelling and putrefying curse
of nations.
People in this region talk as
though high license had never been
tried. It has been tried again and
again, and inis been a
flat failue. It was tried in
Missouri under what -was
called the Downing law. A promi
nent paper of St. Louis, Missouri,
says: “We have now in this city
some 1,500 high license saloons,
and if there is one man in St. Lotiis
who is able to see the good results of
high license which itsfriends prom
ised us, we want to interview him.
If there is any good in high license,
if it reduces the evils of drink to a
minimum, we are ready to publish
it. \Ve know that many good, hon
est temperance men favored the
passage of the Downing law. Will
they point out to us any good it has
accomplished or is likely ever to
accomplish, or confess that they
have been disappointed ?” It was
tried in Nebraska under what was
called the Slocumb law, at a $1000
license. A prominent citizen, re
quested to give his opinion in re
gard to it says: “You ask, ‘Has
high license diminished drunken
ness ?” Not in the slightest degree.
Drunkenness is steadily on the in
crease. This vice, as all other vic
es which government fosters,
grows continually. High license,
as far as diminishing drunkness is
concerned does nothing of the kind.
Mark this well. I would repeat in
thunder tones if I could, it does
nothing of the kind. Gambling,
consequent upon high license, has
fearfully increased. The saloon
keeper must have, in many cases,
a gambling annex in order to make
his business pay a profit under the
high license system. This vice is
making rapid progress through the
state, and much of the increase is
directly traceable to high license.”
One of the daily papers of Des
Moines says. “Des Moines has
tried a $1,000 license only to find
that it has Increased the num
ber-of its saloons, and the daily ex
cess of dnrunkness.” In other pla
ces higli license has been tried
again and again, and always with
the same result, and yet there are
those who would have the farce
enacted here. The Washington
Sentinel, one of the chief organs
of the liquor traffic-
bursts into derisive laughter at
the high license attempt in Nebras
ka, and says; “The prohibitionists
in Nebraska, finding that the high
license of $1,000 has not decreased
the sale of liquor, are now endeav
oring to increase its sale by raising
the license to $2,550 per annum.”—
We are making an effort here to
resuscitate an old and dead failure
that died its first death in Missouri,
and died its second death in Ne
braska. - The mightiest blow to the
cause of temperance in the city is
that some reformers have helped
along this delusion of high license-
It is a white flag of truce sent out
from alcoholism to prohibition to get
the battle to pause until the army
of demijohns and decanters can
get better organized. Get off of the
'field with that flag of truce or I wiil
fire on it! Between these two ar
mies there can be no lawful truce.
On tluvene side are God and sobri
ety, and the best interests of the
world. On the other is the sworn
enemy of all righteousness, and ei
ther this army must go down or
the church of God and free govern
ment perish.
Oh, this black, destroying arch
angel of all diabolism, one wing
reaching to the Pacific and the
other to the Atlantic, its iron beak
and filthy claws clutching the torn
and bleeding heart-strings of the
nation that cries out :”How long,
O Lord, how long?” Better try to
compromise with the panthers in
their jungle, with the cyclone in
its flight, w ith the Egyptian plague
as it blotches an empire, than w ith
Apollyon for whom this evil is
recruiting qfficer, quarter master
and commanderin-chief.My friends
let us fight it out on the old line and
we will get the victory as sure as
right is right, and w r rong is wrong,
and truth is truth, and falsehood is
falsehood, and God is God. Are you
so deaf that you cannot hear in the
distance the rumbling of the char
iot of victory ? Over 300,000 voters
in Ohio at the last election for pro
hibition. Kansas on the right side,
low’a on the right side, Alabama
and Georgia almost ready to fall
inio line. Fifteen of the legislatures
of the United States discussing the
temperance question. The liquor
trade so panic struck that it is try
ing to get congress to alter the con
stitution so that prohibitory laws
shall be declared unconstitutional.
Two hundred and forty-six towns of
Massachusetts out of two hundred
and fifty-six declared against licen
se! Not a sign board in all the state
of Maine offering rum for sale, so
that the crime is there put down
beside other crimes. One branch
of thelegislature of our monopoly-
cursed New York, a few weeks ago
only three votes off from passing a
law’giving to the people a choice
of prohibition. East Thursday, a
week, the congress of the United
States, demolishing the bonded
whiskey bill by a vote oflSG to S3!,
although the liquor traffic had vo
ted $700, 000 to buy spectacles
through which our rulers might see
the subject in the right light. I
give fair warning to the politicians
of America, the leaders of our beau
tiful Republican party and the glo
rious Democracy, that the temper
ance men will soon hold the balance
of power in America, and they will
determine who shall he mayors,
and governors, and congressmen,
and presidents. Better get oft* the
track before the morning express
train comes down with temperance
societies, and sons of temperance,
and good templars, and the long
train loaded with reformers and
Christian philanthropists, and all
the best interests of the world.—
Clear the track! The cow-catcher
will be piled up with smashed de
canters and the staves of beer bar
rels, and the splinters of high li
cense platforms, and the broken
rails of those who sat on the fences
and the demolished hopes, schemes,
machinations and bribes of all wiils-
keydom!
The time will come when the evil
will be so reduced that there will he
only ten wine flasks left, and they
will he set up at the other end of
the alley for ton pins. And one re
former will take just one small
round ball of prohibition and roll it
till down shall go the last vestiges
of the sin with the ten strike. But
while the prospect looked at from
the side of worldly reform is so
bright, iooked at from the Christian
side it is absolutely certain. God
will rise up and put a hand to this
wickedness. Have you any doubt
about his being stronger than the
devil ? Blucher came before night
fall and saved the day for Welling
ton. At four o,clock in the after
noon it looked very badly for the
English, Ponsonby and Picton fal
len, sabres broken, flags surrender
ed, Scotch Grays annihilated, on
ly forty-two men left of the Ger-
mau battalion, English lines fallen
back! Napoleon laughed in tri
umph and said: This little English
man needs a lesson. We have
ninety chances out of a hundred in
our favor. Magnficent! Magifi-
cent!” Messengers are sent to Pa
ris with the news of the French vic
tory. But Blucher came up, and
before night the conqueror of Aus-
terlitz was the victim of Waterloo.
The man whose name made Eu
rope tremble, and filled even Amer
ica with apprehensions, is found
muddy and hateless, and crazed
with defeat, feeling in the night for
the stirrups of a horse, that he may
mount and resume the contest.—
Now the rum traffic is imperial and
a conqueror, and many good peo
ple say that the night is coming, the
night of the national overthrow, but
before sundown the conqueror of
earth and heaven will ride on the
white horse, and the rum traffic,
which has had it Austerlitz of tri
umph shall have its Waterloo of de
feat; and the crown fallen from the
brow of Alcoholism the filthy and
staggering breaker of human hearts,
crazed with his disasters, shall feel
in vain for a stirrup by which to re
mount.
