There are certain inalienable
rights which each individual has, not
Ito say certain majoritiss, he said.
The only thing we have to fear is
that the majorities will get together
and crush out the independe Of
the individual. He cautioned his
hearers to preserve inalienable
rights. There was nothing more
wholesome than a collection OF la
borers, he said, but that when any
body OF laborers say You must join
this organization OF you cant be
permitted to work anywhere that
Organization, he said, IS an enemy
Ito personal liberty, and that such
conduct IS disgraceful.
The truth is that the blacklist and
the boycott, the use Of which pre-
vents men from getting employment,
| he said, are alike and equally damn
liable and when practiced endangers
the future and the glory Of the re-
public.
