The origin of the liquor TRAFFIC AS A NATIONAL INSTITUTION. Til© late Dr. F. R. Lees said: “Were the origin of the Drink Traffic as a mat ion al institution thoroughly known, its purpose, aims, and historical working, the patriots and Christians who now tolerate it would do so no longer. It was of demonaic birth, and the same cruel instincts and selfish witeroaits of which it w!is c ngender«l, jffill operate to keep it in exisiltjjPe, though, of course, not so f rawly avowed. The Domestic MSSr of Elizabeth’s reign, vol. 1, .V .\K 1 ty>V, wiliicb can bo seen at the Niitionaf Record Office, reveals the terrirfle ssrorVy A nobleman (how frightful tffie writ-in Crci!ylScyretary of St<(Ce, oomptahij fftlthd \ndependenciy(H the eon/inoir'ipcildt/ peasmts, ymrmers, ami artisanslythus: ‘Tlmjnvealth of thef meaner sort is XXieyfcry summit of rebellion, the occasion of their insole\e*/ of the coiutMupt of the nobility: It MUSTf bo cured.’ Bo much for the motives. Now for the means. ‘lt ipnsb be cured. . . bv providing, it were, of some sewers lor chann/fs to draw or suck from them tlreir money by subtle and indirect*" means, to be bandied insensible.’ Tile nobility and squiro-archy got the power to license their servants to sell ales and wines through the country. These licenses were la\ ishly dispensed, yielding an income to the licensees, and so the people became corrupted in _ tlieir morals and paralysed in their industry. Fronde tells tile frightful story, and Commissioner Tylelslev reports to Cecil, vol. 1, p. 462. ‘That the alehouses —the very stock and stay of false thieves and vagabonds—were supported by gentlemen for the worst of motives, f have spoken to sharpen you against the devil and all liis wicked instruments.’ ” (September 3rd, 1561.) n r>
