He favors restricting distilled liquors under license while permitting fermented drinks, warning broad prohibitions spark lawbreaking and moral backlash.

The piece argues these duties raise costs for farmers by one fifth on stock imported to improve breeds, aiding eastern stock breeders but harming western producers.
