one million oppressors was hot and bit
ter.
No words We're strong enough to con-
denim the heartless rulers who had en-
shaved and brutalized the masses in order
that the privileged few might revel in
riches beyond the limits Of healthy. ra-
tional desire.
To Washington, Monroe and others he
wrote in most contemptuous terms of the
besotted kings. the reckless. selfish no.
bles. the cruel inequalities and injustice
of the Old word SYSTEM but his tone is
always that of a statesman Geepened IN
convictions which he had long held
His repeated CRY is: If YOU want to
fully appreciate the blessings OF our
democracy, come over here and see what
the other thing is, Come and gaze upon

never known a kind word or deed from
those who are its self-constituted shep-
herds-a peasantry which has never
known its masters save ii the taxes
which plundered ana The determinations
which. heavy as yoke. cut Ike
