Jlero are some figures:—During ten years ili Hie United States of America wages increased as under:— " .Per cent. Prohibition States . 103 Near prohibition States (50 jier cent, or, more of population under prohibition) 77 Partial license States (more than' 25 iter crnt., but less than 50 per cent, nude:- prohibition) 75 License States (25 per cent, of popu-. lation under prohibition) Gl Dr. Irving Fisher, Professor of Kcouomies »t Yale University, is willing to stake his reputation as nn economist that with mohibition tho United tSateswill add at least 10 per cent, to the annual inco'mo of the nation. New Zealand could do the 6.imc—with prohibition; not with State purchase and control.—Advt.
The liquor traffic bawls out "Liberly." How dnro the.v use this sacred word. The shackles of liquor are red with blood, their slaves die in thousands disgraced and dishonoured. Tremble, 0 tyrant foe. Tho day of justice and of true libei'lv is at hand. - The people of New Zealand will vote you out—Advt.'
