would have to be gone over again by reason and sense. What passion does, reason always has to do over. Passion is a fool, that kills itself and its best friend, and it kills the goose that lays the golden egg. Let nothing be done in a passion. The time, if ever that time comes, that it is best to arm and to combat, rush for your dear liberty of yourselves, and wives, and children, and friends, is at present, not in the near future.

CHAPTER XXX.

GOVERNMENT AS THE PEOPLE.

Nearly one-half the people are barbarians in these United States, and they nearly all are Black Republican aristocratic thieves; we speak always politically, and that is the main thing. The thieves have stolen from the people many times more than what they sav ed. If they had attended to politics thoroughly, they would have made much money; but a majority of the people being political thieves, they stole for the infernal aristocracy; and they made in their business from 30 to 60 per cent.-no doubt average over 40 per cent.and the people made less than three per cent. But, says a smart Alexander, on his last legs, I intend to let politics alone, and attend to my business; another said the same. They have stolen from every family from two to three hundred dollars. Every person can figure for himself. Divide three billions, that is the maximum, by ten millions of families, and our quotient is three hundred. Now, you can see for yourself they have stolen from the people more money than the profits left for the people. What does the fool Black Republican thief for aristocracy? Think of this, one in twelve of the nation steals from the twelve more than they had left in profits; they could not have stolen it, but they had four millions of egregious fools to help them steal; and they, the four millions, stole from themselves, as well as from their enemies, the Democrats.

Mind, a good black Republican hates a good Democrat. We tell you again that is so. The black Republican leading thief gets his living by stealing; and the business of the Democrat is, to stop and prevent stealing, that is the good Democrat; and you may risk your reputation, that the black infernal thief hates the Democrat, and he tells the serfs who do as they are bid by their leaders, that they must do all they can against the Democrats, as they are a vile, vicious, degraded set of destructives and ignorant villains. And all can see that the infernals have a ring, that the ring is made stronger every year by stealing, and thereby weakening the people; and also by bribery, which corrupts the people. No wonder they say we are agoing back into barbarism. They were never out of barbarism; that every intelligent person can see without giving a demonstration.

Democracy has been tried several times, but aristocracy put it down. But what of that? Everything of importance was perfected only after many trials. The steam engine, the steam-boat and ship; the cotton factory and the printing press. And what stupendous and wonderful improvements have been made lately in the printing press. It is astonishing. The combined header and thresher. And not only in machines, but in tools; and all came by degrees. The old fogy conservative cannot see that. None so blind as those who will not see. So with the black Republican aristocrat; it pains him to see the workingman. improving. It lessens his chances for stealing. The more ignorant the people, the more the black Republicans can steal; and that is their living. They live by prey, like the wolves and hyenas, and they live in luxury and idleness, and study how to get the property without labor, and they steal from the workingman, and he does not know how it is done. They have stolen forty billions of dollars, and done that much damage in the same time; and put the country back in morals more than 100 years, we think 200 years. And that is, and all this has been done, in 24 years.

But the people feel poor, after having so much stolen from them. All say hard times. If the beasts of the forest should destroy your crops, you would know it. If the birds should carry off your grain, you would see them, and take measures to prevent them. But the two-legged infernal beasts are cheating you, and stealing your substance, and swindling you in your goods, wares, and merchandise, and provision, and the four millions of sworn thieves assist them, and rob themselves also, and the four millions also do not know how it is done. If they should come with pistols and Winchester rifles, and say, Hands up, and search you and take all, it would not be as bad as the mode they take now. Then the infernals would show some courage, and run some risk; now they run no risk; and then the people would have some chance to stop it, and they would know what was the cause of the hard times. If the thieves-now we are compelled to say that this mode of stealing is ten times worse than it would be, if they came in force, as highwaymen, robbers, and bucaneers, freebooters, land pirates, and predacians take our all openly and above board, then we think we would protect ourselves. But, no: they secretly, and slyly, and furtively come, as a thief in the night. All must believe that this secret way is 100 times worse than open highway robbery And if it was done openly, we all would know the cause of the hard times.

Now, if the people knew that the thieves took so much from them, would they stop it? Some would try to, but the sworn millions, and the army under the half-breed, would pay no attention to it, and they would vote all the stronger for thieves, thinking they would be well paid, and they would vote that way if the Dickens took them to Tartarus, or Davy Jones. So you see that we are in a bad predicament. greatest trouble in the matter is: The people are too cold and indifferent, and continue to toil and drudge, and the thieves take all. And the people say hard times, and do not know why. We wish to direct your

The

attention to the secret mode of robbing the people. It is worse than highway robbery, and we say again the black infernals are the greatest fools that ever were in any country. If they only robbed themselves then we could tolerate it; but to have your neighbors robbing you of nearly all you make, and leave a scant subsistence, is nefarious and criminal. And if the people do not put a stop to it, this country will be as bad as Europe. Wages are higher here, but they are going down every year, and soon they will be as low as they are in Europe. We say to the workingman, What do you think of it? Are we safe? Will we be free long? Will our posterity work for a sheep's head and pluck a day, and lie under a cart at night? Will our children's children cry for bread? Will our wives drop tears for a morsel to eat? Will the future infants starve at their mother's breast? What is your answer? We are not saying anything but the truth. You should have a mind, a thought, on the matter by But read, and you will see plainly. We will prove what we say, so no one can gainsay it, only the four millions thieves, who are sworn in on the Federal side. As the juryman in Massachusetts, when he was told by the officers that he would be sworn; he said he would be sworn on the Federal side. So with the four millions; they were sworn on the Federal side—and it is a sad thing for the people. The Athenians, for a time, had a democracy, but it was not a simon pure. Democracy is of slow growth, and none but honest people can maintain it for a long time, but the time will come when it will flourish. It is honesty and equality in politics. Do you think Bismarck would give a helping hand? Will the Chinese try it? Those who will establish a Democratic government are a superior class of men; the infernals hate it; they would not have a penny, if they could not steal, and lie, and swindle. Would you get a thief to take care of your money?

now.

A pure democrat is perfection in politics; he is formed in the mold of honor and justice, and it takes hon

est men to form a democracy. Do you think that if a seafaring man wanted a ship built, that he would get a tailor to build it. If you wanted a fine mansion built, would you employ a hod-carrier to build it? So a black Republican could not establish a democracy. It would not give a full scope to his lying, stealing nature; he could not exercise his natural faculties; he could not steal, therefore he would starve. He does not know how to live without stealing; he has always lived on his fellow man-always lived on prey. Mind, that when this government was formed, a different class of men were on hand; they were choice spirits who were greatly superior to aristocracy, and they did what aristocracy detested. And again we tell you that the black Republican lying, codfish aristocracy hate this government; they detest, despise, and abhor it. The mon archists were on hand, and tried to get their theory engrafted on these happy states, but they failed. A purer and better class of men were there, and the Belials had to step back and out; and the highest govern ment on earth was started, in spite of the foul reptiles, and infamous aristocracy. They wanted a monarchy, and British slavery, the same as now. They do not progress; they are conservatives, the same a thousand years ago as now, and they will ever be the same thieves and liars until they become extinct, and the sooner they do, the better for the country. They are like hyenas, and wolves, and more like the saurians of old, great destructives. The best the people can do with the saurians is to cast them out as the evil spirits of old times were; and when they cannot rob and steal they will soon die out, and become extinct. The time will certainly come when the aristocracy will be ro more; they are like coyotes in your sheep-fold. They are a moth, and destructive to the human race. they oppose every improvement, and make paupers, and produce misery. And why let them remain and cumber the earth? They are a damage to the human

race.

And

The workingman must rule the earth, and he is a miserable tool of a workingman who cannot see that
