Fiske-Yes, Sir, that is my position, and
think have proved it; moreover, l s,s tina,
every pro- slavery editor in the South iS using
my argument and my statistics on this point.
Harney-A fallacy, Mr.. Fisher, and gross
one az we will presently see. Listen while l
state your argument:
The average wealth Of the citizens Of New
ork assuming your statistics to be correctly IL
$3.50; that Of the citizens Of Virginia is $75s;
the State of Virginia IL more pros
porous, and in a more favorable condition than
the State Of New York. The average wealth
Of the citizens of Massachusetts Ia S406; that
Of the citizens of Maryland, Is 1891; therefore,
the State Of Maryland Is more prosperous, and
In a more favorable condition than the State of
Massachusetts,. Again. The average wealth of
the citizens Of Ohio 10 only S276, while the
average Of every free person in Kentucky is
$456, therefore, the State Of Kentucky is more
prosperous, and in a more favorable condition
than the State Of Ohio-and now as the young
rascals in the college used to say, "Quod srat
Decentralization"
