Report Of The Executive Committee Of The American Temperance Union 1838 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Report of the Executive Committee of the American Temperance Union, 1840 The same desolating influence is strongly operative in this State. Nor can any one who will carefully examine the testimony which has been collected and published during the last ten years, fail to be convinced that more than one-half of all the taxes which are at present annually imposed upon us, originated in this cause. It is this blighting propensity which not only prostrates the body, debases the mind, pro duces gross immoralities, stimulates to crime, and generates pauper ism and insanity, but which also oppresses with heavy pecuniary ex actions the industrious and virtuous portions of the community.
