Excerpt from True Democracy Contrasted With False Democracy: Or, Gen. L. Harrison's Cause Vindicated
It is foreign to thissubject to state'that the writer of this work overthrew the tithe-system in England, by a work eh titled The Wrongs of Man, (ih contradistinction to the Rights of Man) signed, Fairfax, in imitation of the name of the revolutionary general under Cromwell. The tithe in England now, is a tithe of rent, instead of a tithe of pro~ duce reducing the tithe from thirty in the hundred to ten. Should General Harrison be so fortunate as to'succeed to the Chair, it is expected the principles of this pamphlet will be realized, or it will be necessary to remind the Gren eral, that a confidence to that effect was the source of his popularity; After being called the old woman in the iron cage, etc. Etc., as expressed by the opposite party.r I mention this by the way, not that I have any doubts of the General, who, thank God, possesses common sense and discernment, which Van Buren does not, or he would not advocate aristocratic measures, and call them democratic. All this is surplusage, and perhaps unnecessary, yet the time may come, when recorded principles are requisite to be referred to, surrounded as General Harrison will be by all kinds of inducements to make him_ swerve from popular rights 5 as Van Boron has done before him.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book advocates for true democracy over the corrupted variety of its time, the age of American Whig politics. The author, conversant in economics and history, sought to prevent the budding American republic from replicating monarchic mistakes of the Old World in both its political structure and monetary system. Through a comparison to Englandâs ongoing political and economic turmoil, the author argues for a national bank, a paper currency, and against the implementation of a Sub Treasury Bill. He cleverly employs biting wit and sarcasm to make his case, ensuring a lively as well as persuasive read that remains relevant to this day, demonstrating that the struggle between true democracy and its false imitators is an ongoing one. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
