Our Radicni Taskmasters

uaTlnR game Ihe NaulcdI OdcO'
bins are playing, to raise as many
side issues as possible, and throw
dust in the eyes Of the people, the
better to conceal what must be the
ultimate result Of their destructive
policy-THE ENsLAvRMEET or THE
WORKING PEOPLE OF THE NORTH, on
the false pretense Of governing
the South.
| The ENsLAvEMENT was practical
ly begun when, in the namc of lib
erty and Humanity the Puritan
demagogues Of New England, under
the inspiration, partly, of George
Thompson and Exeter Hall and part
ly under like inspiration from
Disunionists at home, went to work
to get up civil war, which has
saddled the country with TWENTY
FIVE HUNDRED MILLIONS of debt
more or less-with a mortgage upon
the labor Of every man in the coun-
try until that debt is discharged.
This MORTGAGE we are now stag
gering under, in the shape of high
and still advancing rents, with a
proportionate enhancement of the
prices of clothing, food, fuel, and
all other neccssaries Of life; but
grievious as is this load-if these
Jacobins continue in power
there are yet heavier loads to
come. Our Radical taskmasters
have no idea of letting us Northern
white slaves off, even with a twenty
four hundred million war debt. The
slavery of Labor to Capital thus be-
gun, they mean-if they can-to
make perpetual.
We do not write at random on
this point, but draw our deductions
from hard facts s:aring us in the face
Thus these Jacobins propose to
(practically) abolish self (civil) }
GOV ornment in all Of the Southern
States, and substitute therefor a
system Of military governmentswhich
can only be maintained at an enor-
nous cost to the feoeral treasury
tLence rendering more taxes for more
revenue indispensably necessary. Il
these military governments are
to be endured, the cndnrance must
be the result Of force, and that
force must be exercised ~ an I'M
mcnsc standing army. Now, stand
ing armies nevcr3 produce anything
Standing armies eat up the sub
stance OF the people just as the
grasshoppera ate W every green
thing IN the 'a9d O Egyp'. h'erE
