The Liquor-Traffic Boat

Who Are in It?

The men represented by these four classes are responsible, and the voters more than all the rest, for the existence of an evil that "tears with its tusks, crushes with its hoofs, poisons with its fangs, a greater number of the human race than have perished from all other causes combined. It bribes, lures, decoys, charms, fascinates, tempts, and seduces. It puts its poison talons on the home, and robs it of its furnishings. It takes the clothes from off the back of innocent, helpless children, and shoes from off their feet. It brings mothers to the washtub and scrub-brush, and straps burdens on their shoulders too heavy to be borne. It dashes out brains, and pulverizes the human heart. It fills the poorhouses, the penitentiaries, the lunatic asylums, and the hospitals, and it peoples our graveyards with the flower of our manhood."
The Temperance Instructor IN THE HOMES OF THE PEOPLE WILL DESTROY THIS GREAT EVIL. OUR DUTY IS PLAIN.
