am about, and the people also under
stand, and they propose to separate
the droneS from the working class
aud pay every man according to the
deeds done in the body. Sir. there is
an end to human endurance and the
people have submitted until submis
sion Is degrading, and they say with
one accord, 'Oh, the folly OF sinners
Woe, woe unto you Legislators who
disgrace our rights.
TAKE heed lest you tall, and they
all with one accord respond, Amen
