tics, the people have begun studying

the nation, and the methods by which

thoughts and habits of our people.

their tremendous power, their unity Of
action and their success in controlling
/ legislation have alarmed the intelligent,
and brought into the field of active poll
tics an antqgoni5tic force which is every
day extending its lines, rs if preparing
for an approaching struggle.
