enough to afford the necessary protec-
ton by superior appliances of force. and
this is just what the capitalist demands
when he asks for an increase Of the
army. But when the day comes that
the government shall be able to afford
this protection, 1t will be strong enough
to put down the people, and then the
republic is at an end.
From these facts we must deduce that
the whole organization Of society at
the North is fundamentally and radi-
cally wrong. It must be reconstructed
and remodeled from base to turret-
stone. How shall this be done? Here
is the problem, and it Is one that must
appal the stoutest heart and the most
confident intellect. The interests In
volved are~of such magnitude that
solution of it cannot be hoped. for that
shall be unattended by great tumults
and upheavals Of society. There are,
naturally, numbers of men, In fact null
titudes and whole populations, how
ever. that would desire to escape the
experiences that must attend these con-
vulsions. How they may do this Is a
much easier question to answer.
Let them turn their faces to the fair
and fruitful fields Of the South, that lie
fallow beneath the most genial skies
that bend above the earth, ready to
laugh with the harvest at the caresses
of the husbandman. Here we have
neither millionaires nor paupers, mer-
chant princes nor tramps. We want
capital as badly as we want labor, and
the latter may anywhere in our broad
oman win ndependence-th first
and proudest distinction OF the citizen,
and nowhere shall 1t be obliged to en-
dure the proud mans contumely with
out the right to rebuke and resent 1t.
Now, 1t seems to us, is the time for our
i'm migration commissions and societies
to do good work, and bring to the South
the ill-paid and discontinued labor that
Is now in open rebellion against the
perverted economies of the North.
