If Mr. Ware does not want republican laborers on his plantation, let him pay them in full for the time contracted for, and they will leave his plantation at once.

Mr. Ware has no right to discharge any of his laborers on account of their political opinion.

If the planters carry politics into the fields they will find it bad business.

Women ought to be fully guarded by law in all rights of property, labor, profession, etc.; but, roughly stated, the voting population ought to represent the fighting population.

We know: of course, with regard to the market and similar social structures, a great many facts which we cannot measure and on which indeed we have only some very imprecise and general information.

I'm quite content to spend my life helping young people find themselves. I've had my fill of politics.
