Description
Excerpt from A Plot Against the People: A History of the Audacious Attempt by Certain Kentucky Straight Whisky Interests to Pervert the Pure Food Law in Order to Create a Monopoly for Their Fusel Oil Whiskies and to Outlaw All Refined Whiskies
We are truly delighted to learn from yours of the loth that you like our pamphlet and expect its circulation to commend you to the people of the United States. That being the case, you will, of course, be glad to aid us in giving it the widest possible distribution: we, therefore, invite you to send us ex tensive lists of names and addresses. The pamphlet is in very active demand, but the field is large, and while we are about it we wish you to get all the credit to which you are entitled; and we do not mind the expense, considerable though it is.
It is true that the numerous letters we have received from readers of the book do not altogether bear out your expectations: they indicate that the average man has intelligence enough to judge for himself what the facts of the Whisky Controversy show. We have never agreed with those who say that the public are mostly fools, but that has seemed to us to be your estimate of them for a very long time.
