A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The document on the last page of the cover sets forth in a comprehensive way the character of the National League, showing its work to be largely moral and educational, a necessity in every true reform, and so fundamental, that it ought to take and maintain precedence over all other forms of effort. These features will be emphasized and elaborated in the future documents and work of the League. The League has been thrust out, by Providence, in a great public exigency. Two things have characterized the feelings of large bodies of temperance people during the past three or four months revulsion and distraction. A strong antipathy against partisan temperance action, and an unwillingness to be, in any way, compromised by such action, or to be drawn into a quasi support to partisan temperance, started the inquiry among a large class of intelligent and reliable friends of temperance. What can be done to conserve, and to give employment and direction to, these masses who sincerely desire to promote this great cause During about two months these thoughts were gradually taking form, resulting in the organization of this National League, on a strictly non-partisan basis. Non-partisuft seemed to be the talismanic term which would inspire confidence, attract support, and crystallize effort. Responses from all over the country concentrated upon this point. A considerable number of Democrats, a few persons who voted with the Third Party, and many Republicans, were among the favorable respondents. January i, 1885, the League was organized.
