Constitut. Code

Many occasions of : not vice

Everywhere it has been seen the with the single exception
of a an aptly well organized Representative Democracy, the
ruling and influential few are enemies to of the subject many: enemies in mind
as well as in act, and by the very nature of man
so large a until the government whatever it be has given
way to a Representative democracy perpetual and implacable unchangeable enemies.

Not so the subject many to the ruling and influential few
the enmity is not reciprocal: it is all of it on one side
on that one side only.

The subject many are everywhere both oppressing and plundering
the subject many. The subject many have neither expectation nor desire
of oppressing or plundering the rich wealthy. Oppress them they could
not without plundering them without plundering them of all they
have: for without any factitious powerthat is to say official power, thus their wealth
can not but protect them protect them most effectually against
oppression in every shape.

Plunder the opu wealthy few: the subject many could
not wit by any general resumption and even a desire of property
for by any such attempt all everything valuable and all property
in it would be destroyed: that of the poorest as well as that of the most
wealthy.

As little could they in the way of taxation: taking this
or that part instead of the whole. For between wealthy and
not wealth there being no line of separation actual or practicable,
the less rich could not be axed without the taxing of the more
rich likewise.

In the Anglo-American United States the great
class who with relation to the purpose in question are without
property – that is to say without property sufficient for their
maintenance, have for upward of forty years by means of the right of electing the possessors
of the Supreme Operative and the sup power had the property of the wealthy
within the compass of their legal power: in what instance have any
infringement of property been ever made?
