PROHIBITIONISTS READ WHA-T REDUCTION MEANS. Reduotion is a cruel and .unfair vote;'' ‘' ‘f ■ ' 7 ' • It does not abolish that which is held by the No-license party as objectionable ;it only reduces the percentage of the Houses, and must therefore abnormally improve the prospects of the remainder.

What is wanted is an increased effort to meet the wants of, and provide proper accommodation for, our growing population. The Prohibition party, however, insist on reduction as an additional weapon to serve their end, and seem determined) to use anything fair or illegitimate with which to down their opponents. The Licensing law of to-day, by a series of enactments,- has been brought to an extreme state of reform, drastic and exacting in its power, the trend being to satisfy every reasonable demand of the public in the way of improvement. There is no probability of any further legislation for some time. The Trade has signified that though it is particularly hard on them, they are willing to conform to the law, and work under it as rigidly as they possibly can.
