Excerpt: ...the appointed place for friendly meeting T And if they come to be used in this way, as it is clearly designed they should, these publichouses, scattered over boroughs and counties, constitute a national machinery for the introduction and continuance of intemperance. If, indeed, the object contemplated were the introduction of a race of drunkards among us, no more effectual measure could be devised. If the worst enemy of our nation were moved by the fiendish desire to debauch its people, he could not discover a plan more likely to serve his end. No man, at all observant of common facts, will venture to say that the existence of such public-houses over the land is the sole explanation of the intemperance in the country. Every man will admit that there may be much drunkenness in the land, even though there be no places of public resort for social drinking. Habits of intemperance may be formed in the home, as well as in the publichouse. But no one can consider the uses for which public-houses are licensed without tracing to them the explanation of much of the intemperance found in the community. But here another consideration must be taken into account. These houses are certain to influence most prejudicially the humbler classes O G of society, who constitute the great mass of the nation. The worse the homes of the people, the more potent must be the attractions of Such houses, as these to which reference is here made. Of course, if the policy of keeping up such houses be a wise one, we should rejoice in finding them largely frequented. But if it be a mistaken policy, as I think facts clearly prove, then, those who seek the welfare of the community will deplore the influence which such attractions exert.
