race the union in some sonio form more or ai less crude anti and known by various ulous names name has existed and the causes for fOI its existence have e shown themselves In ninny many man ways waI but the causes themselves arc are few Cew and havo ha vo always been boen the samo pluto plutocracy cracy crac greed greer and aud selfishness These has always been boen in all ages men who through

what different modes mOll s or Oi procedure and each locality being armost wholly dependent upon its own orn resources It was as deemed expedient and necessary to unite all under one heat head all
