Down through the centuries comes a warning voice from the great Republic of the ancient world to the great Eepublic of the new. In three Latin words, Pliny sums up the genesis of the causes that ate out the heart of the mightiest power that the world ever saw, and overwhelmed a widespread civiliza- tion : * ' Great estates ruined Ital}' ! " Let us heed the warning by laying the foundations of the Republic upon the work of the equal, inalienable rights of all. So shall dangers disappear, and for...ces that now threaten turn to work our bidding; so shall wealth increase, and knowl- edge grow, and vice, and crime and misery vanish away. They who look upon Liberty as having accomplished her mission, when she has abolished hereditary privileges and given men the ballot, who think of her as having no further relations to the every-day affairs of life, have not seen her real grandeur — to them the poets who have sung of her must seem rhapsodists, and her martyrs fools ! As the sun i;. the lord of life, as well as of light ; as his beams not merely n [16] pierce the clouds, but support all growth, supply all motion, and call forth from what would otherwise be a cold and inert mass, all the infinite diversities of being and beauty, so is liberty to mankind.
