straight to destruction, Look, at
'tas long list Of Radical measures,
.gsetsxss, schemes and Legislative
jRsentions,> By which libersy and
money are both snatehed from the
~possessien of the people: Why
these Gemmissions, Bureaus, Mill

sAmendmentsto the Constitution,
Reconstruction laws outside the
Goassitution, and plans for arming
tie negroes against, the whites? {?
For nothing bat to perpetuate
Radical power. Nothing of, the

,ninistration Of the Federal Gov
sssrament in the South: Nothing
aofths kind is demanded for the

eapd will in all likelihood continue
sJ6tse. so taxed as long as there is
9anyehing left from the results of
labor to be sweated into the SEP

= Why are prices still so high,
sssking one ehandred millions a year
stosn the industry ef-the laboring

is there 50 slow a home market
for the products ofthe West, and
no commerce for the merchants
. and shipowners Of the East
Why to this general stagnation
and halfpalsy is added a system o.
high taxes, the practical diminu

of prices, and a general cost Of hv
ing and government under which
the whole country groans? "ha'
