These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people.

In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread"; and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour.

The Democracy of to-day hold the liberty of one man to be absolutely nothing, when in conflict with another mans right of property. Republicans, on the contrary, are for both the man and the dollar; but in cases of conflict, the man before the dollar.

Now, and ever, I shall do all in my power for peace, consistently with the maintenance of government.

I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all.
