the revenue from all those States Of o. ,00i,0p Is.
While these States have thus not Only contributed
nothing toward yearly expenditure Of go ,oco
but have been pensioners upon the bounty Of the
Union they ruvo, the larger portion OF our yearly
revenue has been absorbed 10y them. The idle aud
penness scions Of their lnan.sieaing shstocracy
have been frst educated al the national expense, have
largely Offered our army and navy, have been
quaTtered upon the departments Of civil administrator
while their politicians have largely engrossed the posts
Of honor aud en.olument.
Meanwhile the North has infused from her fresh
and vigorous life the little animation which has relieved
their universal sagnston; has dHused whatever OF the
light Of scienes and literature has penetred their be-
GIFTED regions; and has boon the sole barrier TO re-
lapse into the most disgusting barbsrism that ever
cursed tho earth. For subtract the industrial energy

last bali century from their life, and the barrenest tho
torpid state Of society emitting the rankes moral
stencil, would DO presented throughout hese States.
So much for the Msxentian Union" The truth is,

rage, which has manifested self in attempts At Multi

by which Northern industry has been subjected TO
rnous reverses, and finally, her strategy exhausted
by outrage ard devastation in ka1sss, the fitting pre-
lode 10 the gigantic rebellion now in progress, deriving
its entire support from theft and lying.
But to carry tho Illustrations drawn from stai''ics
still further. According 10 the census Of 1860, The

the loyal Slave States 1905, 50i; and Of the Free

States Is va ned at Si 9l3 49, the Perscnai proper
ty, 81 1884 ,459; making total Of 1888 1J1 ,9i.
Tie real estate OF the loyal Slave States valued at

estate Of the nineteen Free States Is 35b igl iS0;
while tho personal property ia estimated 70 be Of the
value Of Al 1913 756, 439; giving total valuation Of
$G5ioei7 90. This gives to the Slave S.aes relcl
and loyal total valuation OF g. 49, I3 o66; showing
balance Of 075 3 6j3 in favor Of the Free States
Ths balance in favor Of the North would be nearly
trebed were tho 100000 OF slaves included ia the
valuation Of the Slave 81 Ies excluded. la this sum-
