More from George Julian
The tyranny of industrial domination, which borrows its life from the alliance of concentrated capital with labor-saving machinery, must be overthrown.
He hated slavery with the animosity of a regular Puritan, and when he talked about it everybody listened.
The fate of the men involved in it seems like a perfect travesty of justice and fair play.
He carried his religion courageously into politics, and while arraigning slavery as the grand rebel, he also severely criticised the management of the war and the Border State policy of the President.
