Excerpt: ...-6 ''Come back to your senses, you men of this land, It''s time, believe me, or yom freedom will stand No longer as bright as your forefathers thought, When they, with their blood, from England it bought. Look now at your best, at your bluest of blood. They surely think, they are nearer to God Than you that by thrift and the sweat of his brow, Will work and earn bread with shovel or plow. No longer you command their love and esteem, They look upon you in the eye that gleam, That drives the blood in uproarious waves To the cheeks of all men, that are no knaves. No longer you are the same kind of man Than those that have gold and claim noble clan Way back to old ages, when their forefather was--A peddler, or merchant, but--never an ass. Look at these men--quite English--you know, Who study a life of how to bow low; And monkey patricians, that never should live, Because they can take, but seldom will give. 3. Koenig Nearer and nearer by the trend of the times Hear we the sound of freedom''s sweet chimes; The air waves carry forth the great Marsellaise. That sounds through the world in liberty''s praise. The masses throw down the yoke of the Trust, Light breaks the darkness; gold looks like rust;-Spirits of might rise way above all, And the Sons of the Free rise quick to their call. Beware, you tyrants, upstarts, and thieves, The sweep of revolution that nothing you leaves, And fearful the reckoning with wrongdoers will be, The judgment simple: The rope and a tree. That is as true as a God is above, Righteous and just and great in his love For all that believe, that the earth is his gift, And that no one his work on another must shift. When equal the work, the duty and task; Servility crushed and Faith without masque, Then, and only then, holds liberty swa...

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: chapterSection 4PREFACE. What is true to-day may be logically contradicted to-morrow. The everlasting turn of the mighty wheel of life mixes matters eternally and brings before the eye of the observer a kaleidoscopic view that dazzles the eye, spirit and soul. It produces an eternal change of mind of each living individual, and as each change again produces a different impression on every person, it forms new thoughts and ideas, with a result of a chaos-like con- glomerata, that is bewildering and that makes us stand aghast of the end. Of this fact I was impressed soon after I had somewhat seen the lights and shades of social life and when I began to study the observations of others in regard to this theme I found that they either repeated the thoughts of other thinkers or wrote deliberate falsehoods, which would further their own ends. Then I stopped "to see through the eyes of others and concluded to make the "study of our moral, social and political life" my task, and thenceforth I endeavored to sift "facts" from "arguments, wishes or illusions," and all dissecting necessary I did1 with the help of plain common sense. Acts and deeds, which were in opposition to moral and social laws, advices and teachings that seemed directly aimed against common sense or the laws of nature I noted down carefully for years, and during certain periods I compared them again and again, until I believed myself capable of separating "the cause from the deed," and then by either subtraction or multiplication I gained the end-result. Now, after more than thirty years of such study I shall give the so-gained facts to the public, but thereby arises the doubt whether my capacity to master the English language will be found sufficient to express myself correctly and plainly, because, as a foreig...Versandfertig in 6-10 Tagen, [SC: 0.00]<
