ISthe House Of Representatives April
S, 1900: Il.
Mr.. LovEJoY Rep, I'll. The House
has been occupied for several days in tile
discussion of polygany. Tho Republican
party, of which j am a member, stands
pledged, ever since 1854; 50 far as Con-
.gress has the power, ID exterminate tile
Twin relics Of harbarisnl, Slavery and
Polyganiy, id the Territories of the Init
Jed States. Now, Sir, as we have nd
nlinistered tleath-bIow To- one Of these
twins, ! propose to pay my respects to
tile other twin. / want CO sec both
.strangled and go down together as they
heartily deserve .5 81; IL. A.
Mr. Conn Dem, Ala. l--Iti is not in
order under the rules, but 4 am willing
to let linn 60 Oh and talk about the other
twin. e. 81 HUH.
Mr. LoyRdoY shall no on without
the gentiefian's leave, Oh anybody else's
leave, Individually.
Mr. SrAsroN Rep, O. Docs the
Chair held that tho twin relics are III
order 4 think, under the new rules, the
debate must be confined To the Tariff bill
d only raise the question because AM
afraid, if the general debate goes on, the
real subject before us will be neglected.
Mr.. SHERNAN Rep, % said the dis
cilssiotl was open as broad as upon the
Presidents Message, but the majority of
the House might at any time limit the
discussion to tile subject matter 81: III.
The tsnIIRHAN, Mr. Wasllburne Rep,
Me. }, decided that general debate was in
order. .,:s.,,.;s 4: :5e.
Mr. IsovEJoY j was aboatto say, when
interrupted, that the question presented
Isl, whether Slavery shall lie extended be.
You'd its present limits, as that IS the only
question over which We have exclusive
Jurisdiction; but, Sir, when ii is proposed
70 extend what is termed an Institution,
but what is not ali institution but simply
q practice, like polyganiy, the question
naturally arises hat lis Tile natufe, what
the Influences, aud what the elements of
this practice, and what viii they proye to
be when extended, if allowed to extend2
j ain aware that it has been stated on
this floor that the morality OF Slavery
has been settled; that its ethics are no
longer to be discussed; that they were
settled by the stagyrite of Greece, and
have been reailiFmed and reestablished by
the stagyrite OF Ohio, whoportrayeili il in
gorgeous ceIors, like the hues which gath
er around the clouds Of d summer sunset.
We were told that where slayeholdiUg:
will pay, there slayeholdilg will go. Pre-
.ciseiy upon the same principle, where
robbery or piracy will pay they Will CO.
and where human flesh is cheaper than
beeyeS eannihalism will go, because it will
pay. /. Sir, than robberieS, than piracy,
than polygamy, siayeholding is. worse,
more criminal, moro Injurious to man, and
consequently more offensive to God.
Slageholdmg has been justly designated
as the sum Of all crime. IoN put every,
crime that is perpetrated upon men into
q moral cFucibie, and dissolve and coul-
| bine them all, and the result of the amalS
gam is slayeholding. / am speaking in
earnest, before God, and il is Gods truth
.It has the violence OF robbery tile blood
ofpiraey, the brutal lusts Of polygauy,
all combined and concentrated in itself,
with aggrayations that neither one Of
those crimes ever knew or dreamed Of.
| Now, Mr.. Chairman, the Justification Of
| Slavery is placed mainly ON three grounds:
| the inferiority of the ensfayed race, that
the fact OF enslaVilg men imparts Chris
! tianity and civilization To them, and the
guarantees of the Constitution. We con-
cede as d matter Of fact the inferiority Of
the race, Init docs it follow that it is
right to. ensIase a man simply because he
I is inferior TO YOU Mr.. Chairman, this is
to me a most abh0rrent doctrine. Il
would place tile weak at tie mercy Of the
Estrong. The theory is. that if Il man is
ferippIed, "trip him up; if he is old and
weak, strike him~ =iie can't strike back; if
he is child, deceiYe him. Why, Sir,
! this doctrine Of the Democrats~-aal It IS
| the dotrine Of devils as Welle--wonld lead
THE strong 10 enslaye the weak every
where. Ii would Justify The angels In
! enSlariEg man, and IN turn, it woHld jus.
itify the, arehangels in enslaFing the
angels. If carried ont in the universe, it
! would ultimately transform jehovah him,
self into an Infinite Juggernaat. IF.
