the October number y of the Eng , lish propos Woman's Journal , it is asserted , that the 4 women " Ten Hours from ' disease Bill , " and althoug slavery h a ri was ght a and sin good against thing , saving political a generation In of
fact , passed in flagrant violation , of pure political economy pure . economy ; I always Now I thought don't know that much one of about the political articles it economy is most whether prudent pure for us or to not econo , but
mize was * an unimpaired healthy population ; and anything which tends to s debase urely must or degenerate be misnamed the producers " economy of . wealth " However , the great good mass it may of our seem peop for le ,,
