"NoT A. DROP OF BLOOD HAS BEEN

not practice capital punishment: a Grimm

beaten into a jelly. The Americans do
not hang dozen or so Of leading charsc-
tiers when they suppress q rebellion. They
do not shed a single drop Of blood, HUI

lie for that.
Their mode punishment is this: They
roast the entire population over a slow
fire. They ingeniously senda pang through
every heart from the richest to the poor

degrade the entire population. They
destroy industry. they crush with taxation,
they blast the energies Of the people. They
govern them without representation they
keep open the wounds of civil war; they
incapacitate then, from holding Office and
