Government Order Long

More From James Madison

But the most deplorable effect of all, is that diminution of attachment and reverence, which steals into the hearts of the people, towards a political system which betrays so many marks of infirmity, and disappoints so many of their flattering hopes. no government, any more than an individual, will long be respected, without being truly respectable; nor be truly respectable, without possessing a certain portion of order and stability.

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

Taxes are paid in the sweat of every man who labors. if those taxes are excessive, they are reflected in idle factories, in tax-sold farms, and in hordes of hungry people, tramping the streets and seeking jobs in vain. our workers may never see a tax bill, but they pay. they pay in deductions from wages, in increased cost of what they buy, or - as now - in broad unemployment throughout the land.

But the time will come when new england will be as thickly peopled as old england. wages will be as low, and will fluctuate as much with you as with us. you will have your manchesters and birminghams; and, in those manchesters and birminghams, hundreds of thousands of artisans will assuredly be sometimes out of work. then your institutions will be fairly brought to the test.
