Joseph Howe, the Great Liberal Statesman of Nova Scotia, Prof. Goldwin Smith, the Eminent Writer, in Opposition to Prohibition and Coercion The Maine Liquor Law was adopted in New Brunswick, but after a year's experience of its effects, it was, on an appeal to the people, condemned with singular unanimity, and immediately repealed. It was discussed with a good deal of ability in the House of Assembly of Nova Scotia during the session of 1854 and 1855, and at one time a small majority decided in its favor. The bill was subsequently post poned and abandoned. One of the most brilliant speeches on the subject was delivered by the Hon. Joseph Howe, the great Liberal statesman of Nova Scotia. This speech has been republished in pam phlet form in Nova Scotia, and has been frequently referred to, and quoted and misquoted in portions of the press. As an able presenta tion of the case, it deserves, if used at all, to be perused in full, so that all may see what arguments the great orator really used.
