conviction that the time Is not lar distant
when ii will have to be abandoned, and
somc other system established. The eViis
of the s,sten, arc manifest to all, and these
evils are of such a character a. not 10 be
smeliora.ed or removed by any Increase OF
renersl wealth. or any advance in eiyiiiza

and this it is which has alarmed the political
economist.
