Show STATEMENT OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, LIN-COLN, TWO MONTH8 BEFORE HIS DEATH. "After reconstruction, tho next great question will be tho overthrow of the liquor traffic. "Tho liquor traffic is a cancer In society, eating out tho vitals and threatening destruction, and all attempts at-tempts to regulate it will only prove abortive. There must be no attempts to regulate the cancer. It must bo eradicated. "And, when there shall be neither slave nor drunkard on earth, how proud the title of tho land which may truly claim to be the birth place and the cradle of both these revolutions that shall have ended in victory." |
