legislative efforts to that end usually result
In increasing the evils they are intended to
cure. Individual wealth must result from
individual industry and economy. There
is no other road TO State or individual pros

frugality of the people. Private welfare
is often paralyzed, and rarely aided, By leg
islation.
That government is best which, striking
off all shackles and burdens, and conform
ing itselfas nearly as possible To the pro-
lection of life, liberty and property, leaves
all else TO be accomplished by individual
efforts.
