Abstract

Editorial Articles

The article focuses on several socio-political issues. There could hardly be more instructive reading at the present moment than the evidence in the whiskey trials at Saint Louis, Missouri. The Government officers not only did not repress illicit distillation, but they made arrangements for it on a great scale. They stimulated the production of illicit whiskey by every means in their power, and collected princely revenues for themselves in the way of bribes. It is impossible to read the articles which have appeared in newspapers in London on the subject of relations between the U.S. and Spain, dwelling as they do on the unwanted insolence of the demands made on Spain, the tone of haughty arrogance displayed by the note, the traditional pride of Spain etc.
