Proudfoot, Liberal Leader of the Ontario; Legislature, says : —" Retail merchants and butchers are quite strong in their statements that men who previously were in the habit of letting their accounts run, and from whom it was only with tho greatest difficulty they were able to secure payment, now pay regularly without even being dunned." This phase of matters represents a very valid reason why the Alliance Monster Petition for the abolition of the drink traffic in New Zealand should receive the support of tradespeople. Be sure you sign it, —Advt. ; The National Efficiency Board states that world-wide shows that where Prohibition is in operation increased national thrift has followed, and the diversion of the money to productive trade channels will " more than counteract the loss of public revenue now received from this service." The money now spent on liquar will be spent in some other direction, and hence directly or indirectly will produce increased revenue to the State, This provides the answer to thuso who ask how the revenue now derived from the liquor traffic will be made up Surely the electors should have an opportunity of gvoting on so important a proposal. The Alliance Monster Petition will givo us the poll. Sign it. —Advt.
