mind hencefOrth not to be so much better off
than the European laborer. Men must be
content to work for low wages. In
this way the workingman will be nearer to
that station in life to which it has pleased God
to call him
In the columns of another organ of cOnsOl-
idated capital they have read the following
revolving sentiments
There seems to be but one remedy. 1t is a
change in the ownership of the soil, and the
creation of class of land owners on the one
hand and of tenant farmers on the other;
something similar i'll both cases to what has
long been existed and now exists i'll older
countries of Europe.
And in every form in which the English
language can be used the American PEG
pie, and especially the people Of the West,
have been notified, not that their consent
will be asked, but that they will be compelled
to submit to the legislation which results IN
this British system of baronial landed estates,
a dependent tenantry and pauper wages for
the workingman. Sir, | have no word of
menace to utter on this floor, but, in behalf
of every laborer and every owner of the soil
whom l represent, | warn such as value their
investments that when these doctrines OF des
potism are sought to be enforced this fair land
will again be convulsed in agony and the fires
Of liberty Will blaze forth again, as they did
a hundred years ago, in defense Of the natural
rights of man. May the wisdom Of ON fathers
and the benignity Of our Gol avert such an
issue; but if it shall come, if infatuation has
seized our councils, the result will only add
one more instance to the long catalogue Of
human crime and folly, where avarice, like
ambition, oyerleaps itself and in its unholy
attempt to rob others of their possessions
loses its own.
