iactuers will pay their share, but the ability OF the
manufacturers to pay anything depends upon the
ability of the farmer to raise corn and OF the graner

the Rebel States should be admitted:

An article In Baeknoods Magazine incidentally
mentions fact in British politics which marks an m
porant difference between popular representation in
a Republic and under a monarchy. 1t says:

Britain has not been sufficiently extended to enable

The "higher classes of English electors" have no
reason to care for the result Of elections in which
their privileges are not involved and coolly contcm
plato the struggles of what they call the mob. An
aristocracy vested with rights which arc above tho
voice Of the people to confirm or abridge, may well
afford TO await direct attack before making an ener
getc defense. But in our Republic every man has
personal interest in the Government, and the greater
his fortune the deeper may be his interest in the poll
cy of the nation.
