Rum Rule in Politics

About eight years ago there was a tacit agreement on the part of several of the civilized nations to exclude intoxicating liquors from certain parts of Africa, in protection of the native races, and the agreement was partially carried out. For years it has been the policy of the United States and Canada to prohibit the sale of intoxicants to Indians. But in the countries recently wrested from Spain the liquor trade has been vastly augmented since they came under American rule. Why?—Evidently it is because of rum rule in politics.
