Licensing the Liquor Trade

By National Liberator

We are not in favor of any kind of a license system. Rum selling is either good or evil. If good, then it should have the same chance as any other kind of business. If evil, the nation, State, county or town has no right to license it. When the State legalizes an evil, its moral power is destroyed. When it places its protecting power over its worst enemy, the result will be degradation to the people and death to the State. The only remedy is destruction of the evil, thus elevating the people and preserving the State.—National Liberator.
