believe that the government
is a great paternal institution
whose mission it is to find en-
ployment and support for
every individual in it. "The
government is the sovereign"
and therefore the wealth of
the country belongs to the
government and not to the
people. 1t therefore naturally
incllnes to high taxation, ex-
travagance and unnecessary
expenditure in it's conduct of
public affairs. 1t has imposed
upon the people a system of
protection, bounties, subven-
tions, bonds, land grants, sub
sides and pensions Of all kinds
in order that the people may
participate in the government
bounty. "The government is
the sovereign" and so it must
indulge in the royal preroga-
tive of allying itself with the
powerful banking and manu-
featuring classes, whom it re-
wards and enriches for its in
fiuence by enacting class legis-
lation. Believing in a strong
centralized government, it has
never hesitated to override
the constitution and to usurp
functions that do not belong
to it, increase salaries and Gre
ate unnecessary Offices 1t
holds that the administration
of public affairs is a mystery
which can be acquired only by
the consecrated few. Mr.. Sweet
is a member of congress, and
therefore a part of the "Sover-
eign government" Does the
mere fact of his election in
vest him with the insignia and
royal purple of sovereignty?
Is he a public servant or is he
not? The questionis of absorb
ing interest in view of the
gh-handed proceedings of
the Billion Dollar Congress.
We publish these remarks
in no unkind or partisan spi-
rit. The progress, the power
and the prosperity of the ma
tlonal government are nndeni-
able, altho we attribute its
growth and grandeur to the
industry and intelligence of
the people rather than to the
incident of republican admin
istration which has blessed
or cursed the country for,
the last thirty years. But with
all our prosperity there are
signs and tendencies which all
good citizens should heed. The
habit of dealing with such vast
sums as that appropriated by
the Billion Dollar Congress
makes the government avari-
cious and profuse; while the
prodigious patronage which
the collection ofthis enormous
revenue gives to the dominant
political party invests it with
so vast an influence, and holds
out such means Of temptation
and corruption as all the vir-
tue and public spirit of the
country cannot resist. Insti-
tutlons Of the best design may
be perverted. Cesar founded
the empire upon republican
forms. Mr. Sweet himself SAYS:
81 would have been Federalist with Ham.
ilton, Whig with Henry Clay and Republi-
can with Abraham Lincoln. / would go as far
as we have gone in establishing the authority
of the national government, but would not
go one step further"
Here is plain, unvarnished
admission from a good repub-
lican source that the republic
can dogma Of centralisation
and class legislation has been
pushed as far as it is safe to go.
We appreciate Mr.. Sweets car
did admission, He opposed the
"Force Bill" in the Billion
Dollar Congress for the same
reason. In such times and
amid such tendencies as sur
