Excerpt from Commonwealth ReconstructedThe justice of my representation will be the more readily disputed because there seems, just now, to be a lull in the storm of our political af¿ictions, which sanguine and superficial observers readily take for a lasting change in the weather. But, while I am ready to believe that the public business is more honestly conducted to-day in the majority of our capitols and city halls than it was in 1870, I can see no ground for ex pecting that the amelioration will be permanent. Particular enormities may never be repeated, but the species is the native and inevitable product of our present political system, and will multiply in number and variety till the defects of that system are corrected. Moreover, no improvement whatever appears in the competency of the men who are put in charge of the public interests.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
