-« There are two cvils, against whieh, as an ‘advocate of Jemperance, we feel especially bound to do valiant batilé— We wican ~the making And Yending of intoxicating drinks.. *These are the chief sources of* intemperance. Ratht ¢re one is the fountain and the other isthe stream: Could we'stop the man. ufacture “we should extinguish the vol¢:no at the erater; could we check the trafticy we stionld arvest the fire-torrent at,thn foot 0l the moeantain. [t would be folly in us heie to. undertake the former, for the L=t‘:;pti(‘)!‘; is stilk terrible; aud happy. should webe A in making an himble attanpt to\v:‘.’ml%hv lateer,we might build thesliolitest barrier Lefore. the advancing lava. - Our theme is the iniquity of the traffic. " We charoe the rum-Seller: with dishonesty and inhu--manjty; and: will endegvor. by fucts' and argunicnts, to make goad theaecnsation, - s e 1 First.” We charge the Rum-Selier: srith dis_lz(‘:ncf‘-t.y.‘f | Gei sot e | All our dealings with our féllow men<houll B conducted on the principle uf} equality. # In all interchange of comwodities,"one’ thing §hédld be made to answer to another. The seller should receive ati ‘equivalent foy the thing sold.” The:buyershould givé an equivalent for the thing bought, Thus the interest of both parties is secured, and trade beconies a mufual benefit. *'This is the universally recognized law of honesty in trade. ~ He who voluntarily takes from . another anything valuable, for which he makes n¢ adequate retarn violates €hix daw;| = “auts &ot s - Apply this to the rum-seller.” He takes a bencfit {¥om his eustomer; this i 3 unquestionable. ~ What docd hé give in return?

What/has the rumtseller done for lee? “HS ha tukdn hor last bed, her list cowi, Her ' last cow, her last loaf. He has robbed her of the heart of her husband..
