Tendency of the American Democracy to increase the Salaries of subordinate Officers, and to lower those of the more important functionaries. Reason of this. Comparative Statement of the Salaries of public Officers in the United States and in France.
We will stand mighty for peace and freedom, and maintain a strong defense against terror and destruction. Our children will sleep free from the threat of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.

The Individualists and the Socialists, the aristocracies and democracies, the capitalists and the labourers shall be welded together, shall be fused and transfused by the next Morgan into their ultimate, inevitable, inextricable, mutual interests.
