I am tired of seeing the spirit of it carried into the Government and enacted into law. When it is found necessary to teach people their own interests. when it is found necessary to tell the Southern planter. for instance. that he must abandon making cotton on which he can make a profit of $50 per acre and go to raising ramie that is worth but a quarter of a cent a hundred pounds. with competition with India labor at 8 cents a day. I am tired of being advised that instead of devoting the energy and genius of our people to the production of those things which will give labor from a dollar to two dollars per day. and make the pauper labor of the world contribute to us. we should drop that and emulate the labor which yields to the pauper 8 cents a day. There is no sincerity in that kind of advice. there is no philosophy in it. there is no wisdom in it. there is no statesmanship in it.
