ation
should
be
made
in
the
system,
for
the
sake
of
the
fair
Trader,
for
the
benefit
of
the
revenue,
and
for
the
protection
of
the
public
health.
I
feel
it,
however,
due
to
many
respectable
and
worthy
Gin-shop-keepers,
who
are
neither
cheap
sellers
nor
advertisers,
who
vend
at
a
moderate
price,
and
who,
by
fairly
earned
and
equitable
profits,
main-
tain
themselves,
and
their
families,
to
state,
that
although
the
facts,
with
regard
to
the
facilities
for
adulterating,
apply
to
the
whole
of
their
class,
as
a
body
without
a
single
reservation,
yet
that
the
circumstance
of
those
facilities,
being
rendered
subservient
to
base
purposes,
will
rest
more
strongly
on
the
individuals,
who
are
ready
to
bear
down,
all
of
the
same
trade,
whether
belonging
to
their
own
community,
or
not
who
live
by
fair
dealing,
or
who
happen,
unfortunately,
to
be
less
knowing
than
themselves;
and,
before
I
conclude
this
division
of
my
subject,
I
cannot but
bear
tes-
timony
from
my
personal
experience,
and
know-
ledge,
of
the
exceptions,
which
the
methods
re-
sorted
to,
in
the
conduct
of
business,
by
the
more
honourable
individuals,
to
whom
I
have
alluded,
form,
to
the
profligate,
and
dishonest
contrivances,
of
their
placarding
rivals.

cannot
but
expect,
that
this
Treatise,
will
excite
the
rancour
of
the
advertisers,
and
be
construed
to
be,
as
indeed
it
in
some
measure
is,
an
attack
upon
them.
This
consideration
is
one
which
is
far
from
discouraging,
because
it is
by
the
outcry they
