Universal suffrage can only be permanently trusted where property is widely distributed, where majority of voters have interests to be protected; and there is nothing so highly prized by the great body of people, norso con- servative in it's influence, as the ownership of land. France and Switzerland are the only European countries whose government could stand the test of free elections with unlimited suffrage. Votes are a conservative power when cast by men who have interests to pro- tect in other hands they are dangerous. .-Er- Secretary McCuIOch's lecture ta Boston.

Where, on the other hand, is there an example of the ruin of a nation though the anarchical tendencies of it's common people, loudly as they sometimes seem to threaten the peace and order of the communities in which such tendencies pre- vail?
