truly
explain
the
small
chance
of
detection,
which
exists
under
the
present
system,
and
the
manner
in
which
a
Retailer,
possessed
of
a
Wholesale
Li-
cense,
is
enabled
to
carry
on
his
impositions,
to so
great
an
extent,
and
with
so
much
impunity,
than
the
case
I
have
cited,
in
the
adulterations
of
Brandy,
(page
23,)
to
that
I
refer
my
Readers,
with
the
certainty
of
its
opening
their
eyes,
to
the
means
by
which
our
Gin-shop-keepers
are
able
to
placard
cheap
Spirits,
at
such
extremely
low
prices,
and,
also,
that
it
must
bear
convincing
tes-
timony,
to
several
of
the
most
important
facts,
I
have
hitherto
advanced.
In
thus,
however,
apparently
advocating

the
cause
of
those
fair
dealers,
who
are
injured
in
their
sale
of
Spirits,
by
the
cheap
prices,
and
specious
pretences,
of the
Advertising
and
Placarding
Gin-
shop-keeper,
and
in
publicly
exposing
the
means,
by
which
alone
the
different
impositions
are
ef-
fected,
situated
as
I
am,
it is
a
matter
of
little
im-
portance
to
me,
personally,
whether
or
not
my
motives
may
be
appreciated,
by
the
individuals
whose
mal-practises
I
have
attacked.
The
value
of
my
observations,
must
depend
on
the
truth
of
the
facts,
and
the
force
of
the
arguments,
I
have
adduced.
That
abuses
do
exist,
that
these
abuses
originate,
in
the
undue
and
mischievous
facility
afforded
to
Gin-shop-keepers,
and
other
Retail
Dealers,
I
think
I
have
proved,
and
I
apprehend
it
is
no
less
satisfactorily
made
out,
that
