Es cosa probada fuera dc toda duda
que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos
es el dnlco que practica con entera la
titud los principles de libertad y tole-
rancia que son las bases fundamentals
de SUI constitution y dc sus leyes, y
que todas las demas tituladas repdbli-
cas-, no exceptuando nj la de Suiza,
son solamente gobiernos que bajo la
mascara de la libertad republican, en-
cubren con formas en- apariencia libe-
raIes el despotlsmo de las oligarquias
que verdaderamente manejan todo a
su antojo y sin acatamiento la iber-
tad del pueblo. Todos sabemos que
