which the iocuad and elegant Mr.

representative of existing financial

pie should make creeds and select
leaders of their own. 1t is time
that they had demanded a restora-

which has been stolen by them, and so
perverted in its purposes and rules of
action that Jefferson or Madison or
Jackson could not recognize this CEN
tralized empire as the republic which
they instituted or fashioned. A crime
committed in Mississippi or in Vir-
ginia or Cincinnati becomes, in our
time, the subject matter of congres-
sional action. Criminals are dragged
up from the states to answer before the
king. Crimes, once local, are now
national" and the jurisdiction OF
federal courts has been widened and
hose counts multiplied until states are
only counties of the centralized Union.
States slowly disappear as governing
forces and as free republics. A gov
ernor is hardly respectable sheriff OF
fifty years ago, and honors, unless inn
perial, are no. worth the having. In
fact, local chief magistrates are only
valuable rs stepping to the cor
