Shali We License or Prohibit ? — Which’?

_ Str,—I am told by Mr. Moore that Stuart Mill wrote in opposition to the Maine Liquor Law. I would be quite in- debted to Mr. Moore-for the information were I not in possession of that writer's Essay on Liberty, and as fully conversant with the trend of his argument as is Mr. Moore himself. Whatever arguments Mr, Mili has presented against total prohibition he advances none against a prohibitory law such as the Scott Act, which amply pro- vides for the legitimate sale of alcoholic liquors for “legitimate use.” On page 167 Mill sums up his argument against total prohibition in the following language :

*‘Almost every article which ig bought and sold may be used in excess, and the sellers have a pecuniary interest in encouraging that excess; but no argument can be founded on this, in favor, for instance, of the Maine Law; because the class of dealers in sti ong drinks though interested in their abuse, are indispen- sably required for the sake of their legitimate use. The interest, however, of these dealers in promoting intemperance is a real evil, and jus.ites the state in imposing restr'ctions and requiring guarantees which, but for that jus- tihcation, would be infringements of liberty.” Here is the great Mill, then, prepared to wipe out every liquor dealer as ‘‘a real evil,” could a law be devised which would permit the supplying of alcoholic liquors for their ‘legitimate use” only. It so hap- pens that we have such a law in operation in Prince Edward Island to-day. The framers of the Scott Act, regarding the dealers in intoxicating liquors as being the chief promoters of intemperance, which is declared to be more destructive of human life than war pestilence and famine, and, believing it to be the prerogative of the State to enact such laws, as shall tend |to abate the terrible evils resulting from ithe sale of such intoxicating liquora, have

| imposed the necesgary restrictions, and re- | quired such guarantees as will prevent their isale, excepting ** for legitimate uses.” The promoters and supporters of the Seatt Act } would regard such restrictions and guar- }untees as infringements of liberty, were it | not that ** intemperance is a real evil.” Its being an evil justifies its prohibition. There /are nv restrictions placed upon our but- jchers) And why?! Simply because the ‘selling of meat is a benefit. But let a but- cher offer unwholesome meat for sale in our market, and see how quickly he is pro- | hibited from makinga sse, and the me:t 'tuken and confiscated. Why so? Becsuse the use of such mest wogld be'a real injury to | the man who should buy and use it. When Mr. Moore assumed *‘ that the Scott Act is a law saying : No persuns shail buy or sell certain articles at all,” he fell into a |hole, and at once pasted company with Mull, sofar as his atgument concerns the | Scott Act. It is reaily surprising to find {an English writer upon jurisprudence, half ja century ago, while combatting what he |regarded as an innoyation, making such statements I have said it is surprising; but itis not. The traffic in strong drink

Ishmaelite. through all the

1 t i } i

has been an i ages, and has been so regarded by respons- }ible writers and speakers among all nations. | But what have we todo with Old World | blunders and superstitions to-day? The world is progressing and has moved away jirom many of then. Still many of the in- |consigtencies and idiosyncrasies of our | forefathers cling to us with great tenacity. in the foreground stands that ynpatriotic practice of buildieg up the revenues of our country by taxing the craving appetite of \the untortunate drunkard. That such a practice should exist in a land, calling it- self Christian, is passing strange. But the fiat has yone forth, and it, too, along with every other species of glayery, must go, gespite all opposition. Just one hundred years ago, William Cowper asatiriged this diabolical act of the State in the following language ; ~

‘* Ten thousand casks, For ever dribling out their base contents, Touch'd by the Midas finger of the State, Bieed gold for Ministers to sport away. Drink and be mad then. "Tis your coyntry bids, ; Gloriously drunk obey th’ important call, Her cause demands th’ assistance of your Throats, Ye all can swallow and she asks no more.’

,

All sensible temperance men oppose such legisiation; Mr. Moore advocates it and assures us he will vote tor its return, in thia Proyince, ijrst opportunity |

Mr. Moore entirely misrepresents Stuart Miil when he represents him as using the following language in opposition to prohibi- tion: ‘*So monstrous a principle is far more dangerous than any single inter- ference with liberty, ete.” On page 150, from which Mr. Moore quotes, Mul is com- batting certain statements made by the Secretary of the Aijliance. The language used by that official ‘ is far tuo sweeping and does not represent the claims of the temperance party, as your readers will readily perceive. The Secretary says: “I claim as a citizen, a right to _ legislate whenever my social rights are invaded by the social act of another.” La reply to this claim Mill’s says: ‘‘A theory of social rights,” the like of which probably never before found its way into distinct language ; being nothing short of this—that it is the absulute social right of every individual, that every other individual shali act in every respect exactly as be ought ; that whosoever fails thereof in the smallest particular, violates my social right, and entitles me to demand from the legislature the removal of the grievance. So monstrous a principle is far more dangerousthan any single interference with liberty; there is no viclation of liberty which it would not justify ; lt acknowledges no right to any freedom whatever, except to that perhaps of holding opinions in secret, without ever disclosing them; for the moment an opinion which, { consider nox‘ous passes any one’s lips, it invades all the sucial rights attributed to me by the alliance ‘This is Mili’s cyriti- cism of the Secretery’sytatement and it is most dishonest to quote it as his argument against prohibition.”

As Mr. Moore weil knows a poor adve- cate often injures a good cause. If the argument of the Secretary was not well chosen, on that occasion, it does not follow that the cause of prohibition has got to go down. Mill himself, says, as already quoted: The interest, however, of these dealers in promoting intemperance is a real evil, and justifies the State in imposing reatrigtju This the

fend himself. He says :

“The object of this Essay is to assert one

| Very simple principle, as entitled to govern | absolutely the dealings of society with the in- | | dividual in the way of compulsion and con- | trol, whether the means used be physical force | in the form of legal penalties, or the moral | coercion of public opinion. That principle is,

that the sole end for which mankind are war- | ranted, individually or collectively, in inter- | fering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection.”

Mr. Moore raises quite a cackle because I contended that he, in representing the Scott Act as “contradicting the principles of natural justice,” wag in opposition to the Crown Law Ofticers of England. If any law is contrary to the principles of natural Justice, it must be an unjust law—a law | which is wtra vires—beyond the power of the Legislature to enact. Had | the Scott Act been such a law surely it | would have been competent for the Privy Council to have set it aside ; but we find that the Liquor Dealers’ Association did not indict 1t on this ground—the issue being whether it fell within the powers of the Dominion or of the Provincial Parliament. But why did they not also indict it as being contrary to the princip'es of natural jus- tice # The explanation is at hand: A pre- vious decision clearly demonstrated the use- lessness of such a count in their indict- ment! I would, therefore, ask what point has Mr. Moore gained even in this * ques- tion of dry law?” Euclid says, things that are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.
