TIic Liquor Interest. , tramp, .tramp, the hoys are marenmg: nowiany 01 tnem i Sixty thousand'! Sixty' regi ments, every inaifo wliich will, before twelve moit1is shall hae completed their course, lie down in the grave of a drunkard ! Every 3rea'iduring the past, decade has witnessed the same sacriH'.e; and sixty regiments stand behind this army ready to take its place. It is to be recruited from our chil dren's children. "Tramp, tramp, tramp,,---tho sounds come to us in the echoes of the foptstpe'ps of the army just expired; tramp, tramp, trampthe earth shakes with the tread of the host now passing ; tramp, tramp, tramp, comes to us from the camp of the recruits; A great tide of; life flows resistlessly . to itsdeath. What? in God's name are .they fighting for? The privilege of pleasing an appetite, of conform- ing to a sbci al u sage, of fi 11 i n si xty thousand homes with shanie and sbrrov, of loading the public with the fyurden of pauperism, of crowding our prison-houses with felons, of detracting from the pro ductive industries of th9 country, of fortunes and breakin.'x hopes, of breeding disease und wretched ness, of des'oy ing both body, an'd soul in hell before their time. The prosperity of the liquor in terest, covering every department of it, depends enterely on tlio maintenance; of. this army-. It cannot live without it; It never did live without it. So long as the liqour interest maintains its present prosperous condition, it will cost America the sacrifice pt" sixty thousand men every year. The effect is inseperable from tlie cause. The cost to theountry of the Ijquor 'trafiC' is a sum so stupendous that any figures which we should dare to give would con vict us of trifling. The amount of life absolutely destroyed, th'e amount of industry sacrificed, the 'amount of bread transformed into 4 poison, the shame, the unavailing sorrow, the, crime, the- poverty, the pauperistnthe brutaHfy,the wild waste of vital and financial resources-, make an ,fffwr'esrate ' so vast so ' incalculaolv vast, that the onlv wonder is that the American people .do not rise as one man and declare that this srreat curse shall exist no lono-er. Dilettante conventioiis arc held Mm thesiibje.ct of peace, by men flivtl 'wonrelk who hnd it necessary uofidtlle to keep themselves awatveAiie-aiixl cry is raised about fomjin-suffrageas if any wrong whicR.may be involvTed in woman's laclcXof the suffrage cob Id be compared to the w ro n gs attached to the Hquor'intercst! Does any sane woman doubt that women as sufferiiiff a. thousand times more from rum than frotii any political disabilty? The truth is that there is no question before the American people to-day that begins to match in importance .the tempernace question. The question of Ameri can slavery was never - anything but a baby by the side of tins'; and we prophesy that within tet 1 y ea r3, i f not wi th i n fi ve, the wh o I e country. will be awake to it, and divided upon it. Thebrgauiza-, tions of the liquor interest, the vast funds at jits command, the unive rsal yfeel i ng am 6 ng those whose business is- pitted. against tlie national prosperity and the public morals these are enough to show that, upon one side ef this matter, at least, the present condition of things and social and and political questions that lie in the immediate tuture are apprc hehded. The liquor interest knows there is to be a great strug gle, Hindis preparing to meet it. 4 People ; both in this country and in Great Britain are beginning to see the enormity of this busi nessare beginning to realize that Christiau civilization is ac tually poisoued at its fountain, and tnere can be no purification of it until the source of the poison is dried up. Tlie country is to bo -sincerely congratulated on the fact 'that the wine interest bf the United States does not promise much. Little native wine, after all our pain staking, finds its way to a gen tleman's table. The Califor'da wines are a disappointment and a failure, and the Western wines are the same. Neither the dry nor the sparkling Catawba takes the place of anything imported. They are not popular wines, and we congratulate the . country that they never an be. The lager beer interest is endeavoring, in convention, to separte itself from the whisky interest, claim ing . to be holier and more respec table than that. They are all to be lumped together. They are all opposed to sobriety, and in the end, we shall find them all fight ing side by side for existence against the determined indigna tion of a long-suffering people. A respectabloEngrtsh magazine reports, as a fact ,of encouraging moment, that of the-iiftv. thousand clersrymen of the Church of En latvd as many as four thousand actually abstain from the use. of spirits! So, eleven-twelfth3 bf the clergymen of the English Church consent to be dumb dogs on the temperance question! How large the proportion of wine-drinking clergymen maybe in this country we do not know, hut we do know that a wine-glass stops'the mouth on the subject of temperance, whoever may hold it. A wine-drinknig clergyman is a soldier disarmed, lie is not.only not worth a. straw "in the fight ; he is a pari ot'theimpcdhrienla of the temperance army. We have a good may such to carry,who ought to be ashamed of themselves, and who very soon will be. Temper ance laws are Jbeiiig passed by the various Legisiatufe, which they must siistiiu, or go over, soul and b(dy, to'the liquor interest and influence.. Steps are being .taken oilbehalf of the public health, niorals, 'and, prosperity, .which they must approve by voice and and act, or they mnst consent yto here be leit behintl and, leitont. I here can be no concession and no com promise on the part of temper ance men, and no quarter for the foe. The great curse of pur coun try and our race must he destroy ed. ; . ' - , y - ieantime, .the tramp, tramp, tranp sounds on,- the' tramp of sixty thousand yearly victims. Some are besotted and stupid, some are wild with- hilarity and dance along the dusty way, some reel along" in pitiful weakness, some wreak their mad and mur derous impulses on one another, or 011 the helpless women and children whose destinies are uni ted to th ei rs, some stop i n way s'! d e d ebaii clip ri es and j n fam i eg" for a moment, some go boumpin chains from w hich thev seek in vainx tbVAvrencli theirMeejJin'g wrists, and all . are poisoned in' body and soul, aiid atl are doom ed to death. Wherever they move crime, rovert, shame, wretchedness and despair hover in awful shadows. There is no bright side to tlte picture. We fofgoti there is just one: The men who make j this army get rich. Their children are robed in puTplend fine linen, and live upon dainties.' Some of tbem. are regarded as respectable mem- hers of society, and they hold conventions to protect their in terests! Still tnej tramp, tramp, tramp goes on, and before this artic lc can see the iiight, five thou sand more of our poison ed army wdl have hidden their shame and disgrace in the .grave.

We con stantly are! hearing complaints abont Brothers .who do not deal with Masons. Now, while. we ad mit that, all other things being equal, it is a duty to patronize one aiiothcr, every person must be left to settle the question of equal y for himself. Jt is no sing' of Brothership if a man buys his goods of a man who is not a mem ber of the Order. He may think : him the better merchant, . more discreet in buying, better ats quainted, with the markets hi9 capital may enable him to give a 1 o lige r c red i t, th e re m ay be a transaction between them, p t- sonal in its character, superinduc ing preference, and one and all of these things ma" turn scales in. his fayor. Yet the Brother who does hot buy of you is courteous in his manner, fraternal in his reelings ; he would go to your bed- sice it" sick, to your relief if in trouble, to your funeral with a' sorrowing heart if dead, and would be kind to your farther less babies when you had gone away .0 tlie tomb. Some Brethren are in the habit pf taking a Mason's word in bnsi ness transactions, instead of using the securities common to trade. If there is a disagreement, there 18 charge of fraud, over-reachf ing, &e., and the case is brought into the Lodge to distract its quiet. Treat oneanother as busi nessmen in all business afJairs, V and then nobody can be cheated at least, no one's Masonry will be', chalenged. No Mason. has a right to a3k of a Brother a business accommo dation on the ground that he is a ' Brother. All these matters should bo placed upon a purely business foundation. It has been affirmed that thereis no frienship in business. It can be asserted .with equal propriety,' there rs tto Brotherhood in business. Basi ness frequently originates con flicts where brothers born of the same mother contest the field. They employ against 'each other in the effort to win the J prize, 1 ngeh ui 'tyj i n format :ion , aha : ad vantages.
