mense sums taxed by way Of interest and dis.
count, by usurers, brokers and stockholders,
upon most Of the business operations Of this
nation, by which the interests of the enterprise
ing, the generous the industrious and the Just,
are sacrificed to crafty the ayafice oil the lazy
extortloner, the grub-worm usurer and the
reptile swlndler. Look at The embarrassment
delay aud expense attending the transmission
OF funds 10 and from distant places. Look at
The entire specie basis Of your whole paper cir
culallon, under the strange order Of the com.
mon oppressor-drawn from the places Of it's
legitimate depositc, and devoted to aid the &C.
cult mysteries and deep laid projects Of Off
clally authorised spectators upon the public
lands-and then look at tho natural and new
liable results Of all this to the universal dis.
trust ana Pros'raiion OF credit TO the wide.
spread lalluies, and stoppare OF payment oe
commercial, planting and manufacturing es-
Establishments, business every where depress-

banks, even the government PErs-"ihe better

millions Of the peoples money unaccounted
for, has 50 managed that it has not dollar at
command, and the public creditor goes unpaid.
Look at all this, ana you will have some little

OF the Experiment Is costing this people, and
the rapid progress that is made 10 the direct OF.
ject of establishing an absolute tyranny over
these States. And we may finish the parallel
with saying, in the firm & determined language

an every stage Of these expressions we hqrs
peHtioned for redress in the most humble terms =
our repeated petitions have been anspered ouils

ter is thus marked by eUeyy act Which may define
tyrdnt, is unfit TO be The ruler Of a free pea
ple."
| In many other respects there are striking a.
nalogics between the struggle Of the patriotic
! Wings OF l776, and those Of 1897. Tories
were then numerous, giving aid and comfort
! TO the enemy; so they now. Tories of
! that day were the advocates and apologists of
the oppressor; so they are now. Tories of
! that day said that the Wings were The authors
Of their own misfortunes, that they "spccula-
ted and ovcrtraded," that they were ungratc.ul
rebels TO kind and paterna government;
and so the pary, twadaIng slaves tell us
now The tories then advised to passive oba-
dlence < non-resistance and so they do now.
