LIVE STOCK VIEWS APPLIED 70 HUMAN
BEINGS
Sometimes think that State or gov.
ernment ought to keep up its human stock
just like people keep up their cattle stock.
When man looms up above the horizon as
a great man he ought to be pensioned and
supported SO that he wouldn't have to think
about money. He ought to be required to
marry into another pensoned family and in
this way keep up a family of brains to draw
from for our Presidents and Governors and
law makers They ought to be paid enough
to keep 'em out of temptation. like to see
family of brains keeping up the family
reputation and the family dignity for gon-
erations to come. like the Adanses, and
Prestons, and Lamars, and Bayards, and all

to be who can get the richest, and it don't
matter much how they get money so they
get is and are not caught stealing Of it:
There is power of difference in human
stock. The pure breed Of Yankees never
was n favoritc stock with me. When it is

honor aud fair dealing aud family pride are
bigger things than money. The Yankee
runs on money. Their catechsm says the
chief end of man is to keep all you get and
get all you can. They like what other peo.
PIE have got better than what they have got
themselves, and they go for it aud call it
speculation. If they can't get it that way
fast enough they pass laws in Congress that
will get it by degrees. Through tariffs aud
protection and bount les and railroad subsi.

A regular Yank is a perambulatin man.
He don't mind going from Maine to Texas
