Massachusetts Distillery’s Rum Contract

A CORRESPONDENT of the Congregationalist says that he has directly learned from the very best authority that a distillery firm within three miles of the Massachusetts State House, has a contract to furnish 3,000 gallons of rum daily to the African trade, for the next seven years. This would be equivalent to almost one million gallons annually. If Massachusetts were to adopt constitutional prohibition, that distillery might find it rather difficult to fulfill its contract.
