ers showed their jealousy CT overgrown

We have no large monopolists among
US to exercise sway; no privileged class

our popular assemblies: But the inquiry
may well be made, whether our instilu-
tons are perfectly safe in another direc-
ton and from different class. There is
occasion 10 fear, that the demagogue. I'M

to participation in our elective privileg-
