People's Pilot, Volume 3, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 May 1894 — “Prohibition that will Prohibit.” [ARTICLE]

“Prohibition that will Prohibit.”

The logic of events is moving towards prohibition of the liquor traffic, with such strides as to astonish the world with its rapid development. Who would believe that an anti-sumptuary Prohibition plank would originate in the Democratic party at the present time? But here it is, and from the highest source, too, —from the Democratic President of the United States. See what President Cleveland says in his last message to Congress: “I recommend that an act be passed prohibiting the sale of arms and intoxicants to nations in the regulated zones of our citizens. Verily the world moves; and with it wo have this clear, unmistakable Prohibition sentiment uttered with all the significance aud prominence of a Democratic recommendation to Congress, from the highest authority in the land.

If the claims of our Congress, how much more shall all the citizens of the United States be entitled to protection from the lawless elements in our country. Let us hail this. last intimation from our President that even the Democratic party is susceptible to the indignation that patriotic citizens ought to feel and manifest towards this terrible scourge of our country—the poison of alcoholic beverages. —From Demorest’s Magazine for June.
