spirit of freedom in their hearts, then they can be corrupted and bribed. They are careless, indifferent in the exercise of the franchise. If they are robbed ard cheated, they do not care. It is the honest, upright and truthful and independent people that will gain, maintain and preserve such a priceless jewel as Democracy, and it is the only governmeat that will bring happiness to the people. Aristocracy is destruction to the liberties of the people. Take an example: Many men move with their families in a new country. They have no aristocracy; all are equal; no laws to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. They have to work hard, it is true, but they get all the benefits of their labor. No strife, no bickerings, no contention; all is prosperity and peace. Compare this country with it one hundred years afterwards. Aristocracy has invaded their peacable neighborhood. The ten engines of robbery and plunder are in full operation. Now there are tramps, paupers, criminals, and the children are crying for bread. Millionaires are plenty in the country; so are tramps and paupers. It takes more than the average of one thousand of the money of the people to make a millionaire, that is, it takes the average money of more than one thousand men to make a millionaire. So when you see millionaires, you will see thousands of tramps and paupers; and yet many men cannot see that as a country grows older, the few get rich and the many are poor. What does this infernal thing? We can tell We can tell you. Aristocracy comes into the country, and steals all the people have. They steal their land, their money, their stock, their furniture, reduce wages, raise rent, reduce the people to poverty and destitution, distress and misery. And this they do with their ten engines of robbery, theft and plunder, and paupers are increasing.

The man who is honest values his freedom more than gold, but the black Republican thief and liar estimates gold above all things; that is, his morning and evening devotions; his matin prayers, and his evening petition. Freedom is no where with the vile.

things; the four million thieves and liars for aristocracy. Political freedom is an external manifestation, proceeding from an internal principle-that is the principle of liberty, which is adherent in the breast of the Democrat. The aristocrat's mind cannot reach it, because it is beyond his comprehension; it is too high for him; he cannot soar to such a height; it would make him dizzy, and he would fall to rise no more. He has no conception of democracy; he hates it because then he could not steal his living, as he has done always; he hates the people; he hates the honest men; they are a thorn in his flesh; they oppose stealing, and lying, and robbing; he hates them; he hates honesty in politics; he hates those who refuse to give subsidies; he hates those who do not walk to the line that he chalks for them; he hates those he cannot command; he is a malevolent tyrant; he is a brute in the shape of a man; he is a reptile in human. form. Beware of him; shun him as you would the Bohon Upas. The lover of freedom watches his rights. as a miser does his gold, and if any oppression, he sees, and is ready to nip it in the bud. By the vigi lance of the people can be seen the respect and love they bear for freedom. If people are sensible, they will not allow the least encroachments on their rights. Many intrusions the infernal black Republican infernals have made on the rights of the people, for the purpose of feeling their way to robbery, theft, and plunder; and the people being fools tolerated it; and the next step was more oppressive and unconstitutional; and having a gang of fools to follow them, they in that manner established a practical despotism in this Republic. They stole the whole country, and the people apparently were satisfied. We tell you, workingman, if you do not take better care of your liberty you will certainly lose it. Look back and see what the people have said, while the thieves stole the country. If a wolf was in a farmer's yard taking his pigs, would he drive him away? And this government is still more important.

CHAPTER XXXV.

RIGHT AND WRONG.

When men compare their views on this subject, they frequently are disagreeing. One says, if you sell an article for two or three times what it is worth, you have done right. Another says you have swindled the buyer. We say it is no better than stealing—and, in fact, it is stealing. The manufacturer sells his articles at an enormous price. He is enabled to do so, because he has lied to his constituents that such tariff is necessary for him to run his factory. When he made forty-seven per cent. on his capital, who will believe that it is necessary that he shall clear forty-seven per cent. to run his factory? Here, also, men will be of different opinions. The serfs and parasites of the manufacturers, the four millions minions, and slaves, and barbarians, will say it is right, what their masters are doing. Forty-seven per cent., they say, is right. We say they are in the jungles yet; their moral vision is still obscured, and will never be right. In order to have a moral community, the individuals must first be moral. The unit must first be virtuous; the seed is sown in the constitution of the individual. All have more or less of it; some, it is true, have only the primordial cell, say the four millions. They have an atom of moral sense, and do not cultivate it, and they will die, and the little atom will die with them. In some persons they have the atom dormant, but it becomes. manifest at some future time. But nothing can manifest itself but the germ which existed before. The mind has an organ of moral sense, and if the individual is desirous of cultivating it, it will grow. One person. who is moral may awaken dormant morality in a person who is careless and indifferent on the subject. So every man can do some good in society; some more, others less; and this morality is the highest principle in man. And we might say it is in its infancy. Many fools and fanatics say that morals are not progressing;

but such men do not notice the difference in the morals of the people two thousand or more years ago, and of today. But do not think that we intend to convey that the morals of this age are anything like perfection. The barbarian is still in every country, and the four millions, in our opinion, are most all barbarians; and many of them think all men are barbarians like themselves, and say there are no honest men in the country. That is black Republican traditional teaching. They want all the people dishonest and ignorant; then they can buy them up like swine in a sty. We say, bad as the world is, we are progressing in morals. But the progress in morals is slow, but sure; still, that is hopeful. Some do not see the progress; they are dull, and as they do not advance, they suppose no one else does. But do not despair. The morals of the world are progressing onward towards perfection. The law by which it progresses we cannot ascertain, as it is governed by the conditions and circumstances in the case. We are creatures of circumstances, but we must not feel discouraged when morals go back. The last twenty-four years they have gone back more than one hundred years, perhaps two hundred-that is, in this country. What must we think of the infernal reptiles who wish us to go back in morals, and teach it traditionally? But the diabolicals will not have their wish. Nature, the great mechanic, will attend to that; no neglect there, no partiality; there is no high, no great, no small, but she works alike for all, and she makes no mistakes. have different organs in the body, that perform different functions, and we are not conscious of it, and each organ performs its separate and distinct work. So it is supposed that we have different organs in the mind, and one of them is the moral sense, the duty of which is to tell us (according as it has progressed) when we do right and when we do wrong.

We

It is not pleasant to see the barbarism of men in society, who think it is smart to cheat, and lie, and steal; but we must say that we think that he is a fool, a bar

barian, a brake on the car of progress; the sooner he is gone the better for the people. A missionary asked an audience what was the highest act of man. All were silent for a short time, when up jumps a chief, and says, Steal ox. That proved a low state of his moral sense. So we have men in Congress with no better moral sense than the chief, who will side and act with the chief if a trial would occur. All such have not progressed. They have not cultivated the moral sense. But, nevertheless, we tell our friends there is such a sense, and we will let another truth seer many of our four million minions and thieves, that the man who cultivates that moral sense to the greatest perfection is the most elevated individual. He is the greatest man. One man speaks for and vindicates the morals of a man; another says, "I thought you knew better," as he meant that morals were of no worth. But, says the slippery politician, "All is fair in politics," and, says the vile reptile, "The Democrats have no rights that we are bound to respect." He manifested a low state of moral sense. Yet after these are four millions that have no visible moral sense. Still there is no doubt, there exists a moral sense. But there are men who say there is no such a sense as moral sense, but we know they are few in number. Ask them if they think that they have as good a right to have justice done to them as others have; they will say they have. Ask them how they know it, and they do not know what to say. After awhile he will confess his feelings told him so; that is the moral sense. If it is right, it depends on its previous cultivation. All honest men will admit there is such a faculty, and from the dawn of the primeval man, the faculty has constantly been present. That faculty made the demand. for his rich inheritance, that will never fade out of the human breast. "Equal and exact justice to all men." It is a never-dying sentiment, that will be in the breast of man when the infernal aristocracy has gone to the tomb, and again, "All men are created equal." The stars will drop from the ethereal sphere, and then those
