Am I not alittle one, and can do no harm? And the demon Intemperance, as sheprowled around us, said, Let my drops and my rivulets alone; they can dono harm. Go stop, if you can, the mighty river. We believed her. But theriver baffled our efforts. Its torrents rolled on, and we contentedourselves with snatching here and there a youth from destruction. But wenow see that the poison is in the drops and the rivulets; and thatwithout these, that river of death, which is sweeping the young and theold... into the ocean of despair, would cease for ever. And we call uponthese self-styled prudent, temperate drinkers, to pause and look at thetremendous responsibility and guilt of entailing drunkenness upon theircountry for ever.
But we are met with more serious opposers to the plan of starvation. They are, they say, the bone and muscle of the country. They come fromthe farms, the shipyards, and workshops, and say, If you starve out thismonster, _we_ shall be starved out, for we cannot do our work and get aliving without rum or whiskey; though, according to their ownconfession, they have found it hard living with.
