propose 10 you tnat this should be done is
that the Government becomes the superintendent
of education property and trade and the employer Of
the people the basis of equal rights, with equable
compensation. The duty rests with us for experimenting
in the sense Of equality, and do 1t will be
pshed Citizens should be protected in and procured
the enjoyment Of their natural rights Of the soil.
