by Wm D Kelley and William D. Kelley

Book Overview

""By Abolishing The Internal Taxes We Can Extinguish The Surplus And Overthrow The Despotism Of The Whiskey Trust: Remarks Of William D. Kelley Of Pennsylvania (1888)"" is a historical speech delivered by William Darrah Kelley, a Pennsylvania politician, in 1888. The speech focuses on the issue of internal taxes on alcohol and the negative impact they have on the economy and society. Kelley argues that these taxes create a surplus of money that is used to fund corrupt practices and create a monopoly by the Whiskey Trust. He proposes that the best solution to this problem is to abolish the internal taxes on alcohol, which will not only eliminate the surplus but also break the monopoly of the Whiskey Trust. The speech is an important historical document that sheds light on the political and economic issues of the late 19th century in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
