ULTRAISM.—Your rank corporationist thinks nothing can be done by individual industry and enterprise, and wants his old shoes mended and his tin pans soldered by an act of General Court. While your obstinate anti-corporationist would paddle over the river in a canoe, and wear cloth woven at the rate of half a dozen yards a day, rather than patronize a bridge or a factory erected by an incorporated company.
A total abstinence man cannot endure the sight of a bottle—while your real lover of liquor can scarcely let it alone.
The staunch Grahamite, with ludicrous self-complacency, distributes to all mankind his rich ration of apple-parings and skim milk—while, to show his abhorrence of such meagre diet, the strenuous advocates of more generous food, will devour flesh four times a day.
The man of honor will murder his friend for a hasty word—while the zealous disciple of the doctrine of non-resistance will not raise his hand to protect his person, or defend his property or his life by a violent resistance.
The advocates of hard money would introduce the iron currency of Sparta—while the thorough going bank man thinks any sort of specie altogether unnecessary.
