THE DEMOCRAT AND LYCTRGrS.

0ur neighbor, the Democrat ha:
dweis (protessedly) SO much with Greek
philosophers that We concluded to visit
them and if possible get the key to the
mysterious jargon Of its editorials. We
inquired about Lycursus of Sparta,
but could get no help to interpret its
involuted style. However. We did
learn that the Democrat got its COM
munistic ideas Of property from this
old Spartan. He taught that 4 COM
munity of property WAS the only right,
plan The wealthy were induced to
surrender their lands, and these were
divided into equal shares for all the
citizens. tramps and industrious farm
crs shared alike IN the old homste1ds
However. when an effort was made to
distribute personal property on this
plan the owners rebelled but Iycur-
gus reached the same result by Ten
derlng ali moveable chattles worthless.
This he did in the following way: He
cried down gold and silver money and
ordained that no money should be
current unless made of iron.
This vas coined so heavy and fixed at
so low rate that cart and oxen
were required to remove a sum equal
to one hundred dollars ofour money, |
As result all trade was ruined. every |
pursuit exce.'t agriculture and deten-
,iyc war was destroyed. and the coun-
Try with its people isolated from busi-
ness intercourse with all others. The
soil being cultivated by slaves, the
youth who were to be citizens were
cut off from all refining industrial pur-
suits and bred to the chase and war,
illing the intervals with athletic sports.
Is not this last the ideal of the old
southern democracy.We see a.so IN this
history the result Of cheap money.
