Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from For People Who Laugh: Showing How, Through Woman, Came Laughter Into the World I have been spoken of, and as In like cases others hare done, have assumed that there is a wide-spread desire that I should be President of the United States. But, against this, there are reasons. First. - As I am a Democrat, many persons, in words purporting to be the Democratic party, could not say, until they would first unequivocally declare it to be their purpose to uphold the fundamental Democratic principle of equal rights to all in this country to labor, and special privilege upon the part of no others to interfere with, or molest them in that right, that I represented them. In the next place, the President now in office is standing conscientiously for that principle of equality and democracy, and when any man does his duty out of his conscience, no other man, whatever he might be called, could In that connection render better service. Third. - Becoming President, I would have to expend that time in work of the office which in my character of private citizen can be put to what, it seems to me, will prove to he labor of a more lasting nature than would be labor done as such. It is not the place that enables a man to serve: not the thing, but the thought. The money of a Midas could add no more power to the fact that the book called "For People Who Laugh" contains what will cause those sensational journals, - (for It refers to them) - that oppose, and by their labors would, if they could, destroy a fundamental American principle, and one that is true; contains what will cause journals that, contrary to democracy, uphold, when they so act, in their acts, and give countenance and encouragement to a class that, conferring upon its members a special privilege to obtain a living, yet does not prevent their efforts to interfere with the birthright of others so to do: a principle, notwithstanding, above which the flag of the country yet continues to float, - contains what will, while yet in parts of America, literature is still honored, and principles the country was founded to keep from passing, are still not forgotten; what will cause the cause of such journals, and what they might to some seem by their efforts to perhaps be able to take away from us, not to go out of, and from the general public memory.
