Synopsis
Excerpt from A Letter to Grover Cleveland, on His False Inaugural Address, the Usurpations and Crimes of Lawmakers and Judges, and the Consequent Poverty, Ignorance, and Servitude of the People
Sm, - Your inaugural address is probably as honest, sensible, and consistent a one as that of any president within the last fifty years, or, perhaps, as any since the foundation of the government. If, therefore, it is false, absurd, self-contradictory, and ridiculous, it is not (as I think) because you are personally less honest, sensible, or consistent than your predecessors, but because the government itself - according to your own description of it, and according to the practical administration of it for nearly a hundred years - is an utterly and palpably false, absurd, and criminal one. Such praises as you bestow upon it are, therefore, necessarily false, absurd, and ridiculous. Thus you describe it as a government pledged to do equal and exact justice to all men. Did you stop to think what that means? Evidently you did not; for nearly, or quite, all the rest of your address is in direct contradiction to it. Let me then remind you that justice is an immutable, natural principle; and not anything that can be made, unmade, or altered by any human power. It is also a subject of science, and is to be learned, like mathematics, or any other science. It does not derive its authority from the commands, will, pleasure, or discretion of any possible combination of men, whether calling themselves a govern ment, or by any other name. It is also, at all times, and in all places, the supreme law. And being everywhere and always the supreme law, it is necessarily everywhere and always the only law.

A Letter to Grover Cleveland, on His False Inaugural Address, the Usurpations
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In prose as eloquent as it is intellectually rigorous, this book delivers a hard-hitting critique of U.S. government institutions and practices, which the author argues rest on a foundation of falsehood and criminality. In the wake of the American Civil War, the author traces the evolution of the American government into an oligarchy with no concern for equal justice, wherein the personal interests and ambitions of its many legislators take precedence over the common good. In the author's view, the government's failure to uphold the rights of its citizens has led to widespread injustice and a political system characterized by bitter partisanship and corruption. This book stands as a timeless reminder of the constant threat to liberty posed by unchecked power and the importance of vigilance in safeguarding individual rights.
