It has been quite common u 1ato years for our
leading journals to publish editorials strongly
advocating the liberal use OF c:eap wincs ~ o
remedy for iutemperance and it ii aqueston of
no little importance III this country, where the
evil results caused By the immense consumption
OF American manufactured whskies, rum, and
