1uombara wcro bound not to lBe toa Until tho
tax was repoaled. which party was held 1oa years
ago. Tho mon did not practioo niiything like
tho self-donial tho lalios did. because tho former
alroyed thoir own. Tho women Of that day had
grcat influence with the other sex. And now as
to tho application. Tie women Of to-day wero

Churches aud aallools, ministers and priests,
colleges, court'houaes. houses'of correction and

tion, and would mend it. But woman had to
bear her full share tn taxation without partici-
patingin 1aw-making. Miss Anthony WAS tlnod

Women'were especially imposed upon in as
soaBnont mattera, because they had not tho right

'cussed Susan D. Anthony's trial, aud oxpressed
GIL opinion that tho judiciary Of tho country Was
