EDITOR OF THE EXAMINER :-

In the beginning, using Bible phase olopy. God created man after hls own i'm age.
 By reason. and when we deal with mat ters of earth. reason must be at the foun- dation of any conclusion, earthly govern ment must have resided in the head of the family.
 Following the command to increase and multiply, families merged into tribes, and the government of a tribe rested in chief, who assumed authority by consent of the people. The number of lgess were few and recieved their force from the customs of the people. Earth, air, light and water were open to the first occupant, so long as the occupant retained possession, so long the title to the thing possessed remained absolute, unless overcome by force.
 Commerce between individuals in primi- tive deal must have been by barter and exchange, that is, certain quantity of one article for quantity of another com modity, the amount to be given in ex- change, on one side or the other, to be determined by the wants of one individual and the labor of another.
 Government there was not much need of. Unity of individuals made the tribe strong, and strength being the object, the chief must have been mild in the execution of authority. A circulating medium, or money, was not then necessary, owing to the limited wealth or surplus of the results of labor.
 As wealth increased the possessOrs of it formed cities, or centers of trade, opening market for the surplus products of labor.
 The head of the government, or city, was styled king, and the strength of the government was limited only by it's power to control the people.
 At this time, money made it's appearance, and its powers and duties were dictated by the head of the government. It was sim ply convenient and necessary means of facilitating trade or commerce between individuals; mercantile necessity to meet the increased activity of trade and the rap idity of exchange of commodities.
 As the products of labor increased and wealth was accumulated, it centered in the hands of few individuals, and the reign ing family received the support of the wealthy, who in time came to have dis sinctive titles, such as we know of to-day among the nobility of Europe.
 When society arrived at this point, the producers, the originators of wealth, the laborers, were reduced to the point of serfdom, they came to be the slaves of the nobles, who were the growth or wealth. The encroachments of the nobles drove the people from their small possession, and the gardens of the people went to form the parks of the nobility. Voice in the government the people had none, because the support of the wealthy made the acts of the king law, from which there was no appeal only as they were regulated by the feelings of the nobility.
 The people continued to produce and to increase the wealth of the kingdom. At this time the eldest son, surviving, assum- ed to the possessions and power of the father. Thus we find the origin of dynas- ties and the divine right of kings. Here we find the origin of arbitrary governments. Force allied by the 1gnor- ance of the people, instituted slavery. Who created this power of wealth and the dominion of kings?
 The people produced, and the surplus was accumulated by the avaricious and the sharper.
 The people conquered the land and the king inherited it. The people labored and brought forth wealth, it was absorbed by their oppressors, and the power which accompanies wealth en slaved the masses
 In my nextletter hope to touch on our own system of government where, in theory, the power is with the people. Hartford. RUSSELL.
