HON. THOMAS B. REED
No one who listens to the reasons
given by the superior class for the
continuance of any system of sub
lection can fail to be impressed
with the noble disinteres tedness oil
mankind. Hence, when it is pro-
posed to give the women an oppor-
tunity to present their case to the
various State Legislatures to de-
mand equality of political rights, it
is not surprising to find that the
reasons on which the continuance Of
the inferiority Of women IS urged
are drawn almost :entirely from a
tender consideration of their own
good. The anxiety felt lest they
should thereby deteriprate would be
an honor to human nature were it
rot an historical fact that the same
sweet solicitude has been put up as
a barrier against every progress
which women have made since civil :
zation began.
