Liberty and Law Under Federative Government (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Liberty and Law Under Federative Government

The demoralization consequent upon the late war has hastened the general recognition of this latter defect in our political organization, by developing the powers of those monopolies in our midst to an ex tent which makes the danger threatened by them directly perceptible to every citizen.

It would have been useless at any previous period in our history to expose these sores on our political body and prescribe their cure. But I think the time has come now when the minds of the people are ripe for a thorough reorganization of our State and feder ative governments, leaving the grand idea of their founders untouched in the main, but supplying the elements that are needed in order to remove the dis orders which must otherwise undermine their life.
