Answer.—Because Continuance is far more profitable to the T/ade than Compensation, and it knows that if it can defeat Prohibition on 10th April, Continuance is safe for many years to come. QUESTION. —What is the Trade's most plausible and dangerous argument? Answer.—lt advises electors to rote Continuance on 10th April so that the people at subsequent elections will have the opportunity of voting for Prohibition without Compensation.
