Note XIII-34 — Chapter XIII · REPUBLIC OF GUATEMALA. 1840-1865.
Reading edition
Some of the measures being imprudently executed only increased the trouble. To make matters worse, the monopoly of aguardiente in the departments of Guat., Sacatepequez, Escuintla, and Amatitlan, was given to a single company, in consideration of money advances to the treasury. Carrera was supposed to share in the profits.
