tRFha Is zxactly what they SAID in the Kingdom OF
~ according. TO the Spanish traveller.
"HtshxlJ robbery" said the Wise men, ais
neither good nor Lad !n Itself; It depends on clr-
c7mEtances. Perhaps too much freedom OF pill
iage has been given; perhaps no, enough. Let NJ
sec; let US examine; let US balnnce the accounts
c1 each rubber. 10 those who do not make
enough, We viii give little more road to wort
up Al los thoee who make too much, VIC will ee-
duce tbelr share
Those who spoke thus acquired great tame lor
moderation, prudence and wtxdor1- Tncy never
failed to attain tie highest Offices Of the State.
As for thoEe who said, t'Let n repteas injustice
altogether: let u alor neither robbery nor AaJ
robbery, nor quarter rslatry," they passed for the
ortsts, dreanaers, bores~ The people also found
