Annotation by Frank Hughes and Lloyd Wendt: American accomplishment. Revolution emancipated common man. Only then did freedom spread to Europe. Headed backward because public life doesn't attract good men. Imitating European tyranny. Meat plant example. Free press attacked by government. Bureaucracy a profession. Recent immigrants not self-reliant. Industrial life hard. Taxes bring industry to ruin. Turpentine and sugar tree anecdotes. Stop slavery to office holders or bloodshed.

Subject assigned by Frank Hughes and Lloyd Wendt: Economics -- Depression
