Originally published in November 1845
“The editors and publishers of several newspapers have promptly refused to advertise for grocers or innkeepers who deal in ardent liquors. That is as it should be; and it is to be hoped that all editors, especially those who advocate the temperance cause, will refrain from aiding the rum trade by advertising anything in the line.”
