The Trade Argument On Prohibition In Brook Haven
The debate over liquor prohibition is examined as a powerful trade issue. Businessmen claim whisky harms by increasing crime taxes and reducing labor productivity, urging country towns to resist town liquor sales and argue prohibition would shift trade away from towns to rural areas. They foresee fewer unpaid debts and better local commerce if whisky is restricted.
