I'm history as a wise political maxim:
"He mocks the people who proposes
that the government shall protect the

the laboring poor. Any intermediary
between the people and their govern
ment, or the least delegation OF the care
and protection the government owes
the humblest citizen in the land, makes
the boast of free institutions glitterlng
