Prohibition Argument Calls Liquor a National Plague
A heated tirade attacks whiskey, labeling it a creator of paupers and social ruin. It argues liquor trades burden state welfare, cites 600000 workers in the trade, and calls for reform modeled after Gladstone as a path to revenue without hindering reform. It recounts cases of drunkenness, legal actions in Cincinnati, and Iowa’s new lien law on violators’ fines.
