PROHIBITION IN AMERICA. [To THE EDITOR or THE SPECTATOR."] STR,—Your
correspondent from Kansas in the issue of July 17th sees a very different side of Prohibition from that which I awe in Pennsylvania. In all the years of my life, and they are many, I have never heard as much talk about whisky, wine and beer. How to make it, where co keep your stock, where to get wine kegs, &c. People who never drank wine of any kind before now accept a glass with delight. In an adjoining State where there is a coal-mine the deputy-sheriff makes whisky, and with the consent of the manager, sells to the miners a well controlled amount, otherwise the miners would leave. I enclose an editorial that has had several editions in pamphlet form, and expresses what many of the best people in the country feel. It is making us a nation of law-breakers.—I am, Sir, &c., E. W. P.
