Abstract

The Present Condition of the Massachusetts Tippler
August 12, 1869 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the political developments in the Massachusetts liquor law. The controversy which has lately arisen between the Springfield Republican and the State Constable, as to whether the Prohibitory Law is enforced in this State, exhibits in an amusing light the difficulties which beset the enquirer after truth in this matter. In this state of things, the experimental philosopher has nothing left but to relinquish all hope of acquiring truth from either the officers of the law or from the great independent organs of public opinion, and to institute an investigation on his own account.
