So
Martin
thought
,
and
so
he
spoke
when
Brissenden
urged
him
to
give
them
hell
.
He
obeyed
the
mandate
,
walking
up
to
the
platform
,
as
was
the
custom
,
and
addressing
the
chairman
.
He
began
in
a
low
voice
,
haltingly
,
forming
into
order
the
ideas
which
had
surged
in
his
brain
while
the
Jew
was
speaking
.
In
such
meetings
five
minutes
was
the
time
allotted
to
each
speaker
;
but
when
Martin
’
s
five
minutes
were
up
,
he
was
in
full
stride
,
his
attack
upon
their
doctrines
but
half
completed
.
He
had
caught
their
interest
,
and
the
audience
urged
the
chairman
by
acclamation
to
extend
Martin
’
s
time
.
They
appreciated
him
as
a
foeman
worthy
of
their
intellect
,
and
they
listened
intently
,
following
every
word
.
He
spoke
with
fire
and
conviction
,
mincing
no
words
in
his
attack
upon
the
slaves
and
their
morality
and
tactics
and
frankly
alluding
to
his
hearers
as
the
slaves
in
question
.
He
quoted
Spencer
and
Malthus
,
and
enunciated
the
biological
law
of
development
.
"
And
so
,
"
he
concluded
,
in
a
swift
résumé
,
"
no
state
composed
of
the
slave
-
types
can
endure
.
The
old
law
of
development
still
holds
.
In
the
struggle
for
existence
,
as
I
have
shown
,
the
strong
and
the
progeny
of
the
strong
tend
to
survive
,
while
the
weak
and
the
progeny
of
the
weak
are
crushed
and
tend
to
perish
.
The
result
is
that
the
strong
and
the
progeny
of
the
strong
survive
,
and
,
so
long
as
the
struggle
obtains
,
the
strength
of
each
generation
increases
.
That
is
development
.
But
you
slaves
—
it
is
too
bad
to
be
slaves
,
I
grant
—
but
you
slaves
dream
of
a
society
where
the
law
of
development
will
be
annulled
,
where
no
weaklings
and
inefficients
will
perish
,
where
every
inefficient
will
have
as
much
as
he
wants
to
eat
as
many
times
a
day
as
he
desires
,
and
where
all
will
marry
and
have
progeny
—
the
weak
as
well
as
the
strong
.
What
will
be
the
result
?
No
longer
will
the
strength
and
life
-
value
of
each
generation
increase
.
On
the
contrary
,
it
will
diminish
.
There
is
the
Nemesis
of
your
slave
philosophy
.
Your
society
of
slaves
—
of
,
by
,
and
for
,
slaves
—
must
inevitably
weaken
and
go
to
pieces
as
the
life
which
composes
it
weakens
and
goes
to
pieces
.
"
Remember
,
I
am
enunciating
biology
and
not
sentimental
ethics
.
No
state
of
slaves
can
stand
—
"
"
How
about
the
United
States
?
"
a
man
yelled
from
the
audience
.
"
And
how
about
it
?
"
Martin
retorted
.
"
The
thirteen
colonies
threw
off
their
rulers
and
formed
the
Republic
so
-
called
.
The
slaves
were
their
own
masters
.
There
were
no
more
masters
of
the
sword
.
But
you
couldn
’
t
get
along
without
masters
of
some
sort
,
and
there
arose
a
new
set
of
masters
—
not
the
great
,
virile
,
noble
men
,
but
the
shrewd
and
spidery
traders
and
money
-
lenders
.
And
they
enslaved
you
over
again
—
but
not
frankly
,
as
the
true
,
noble
men
would
do
with
weight
of
their
own
right
arms
,
but
secretly
,
by
spidery
machinations
and
by
wheedling
and
cajolery
and
lies
.
They
have
purchased
your
slave
judges
,
they
have
debauched
your
slave
legislatures
,
and
they
have
forced
to
worse
horrors
than
chattel
slavery
your
slave
boys
and
girls
.
Two
million
of
your
children
are
toiling
to
-
day
in
this
trader
-
oligarchy
of
the
United
States
.
Ten
millions
of
you
slaves
are
not
properly
sheltered
nor
properly
fed
.
"
"
But
to
return
.
I
have
shown
that
no
society
of
slaves
can
endure
,
because
,
in
its
very
nature
,
such
society
must
annul
the
law
of
development
.
No
sooner
can
a
slave
society
be
organized
than
deterioration
sets
in
.
It
is
easy
for
you
to
talk
of
annulling
the
law
of
development
,
but
where
is
the
new
law
of
development
that
will
maintain
your
strength
?
Formulate
it
.
Is
it
already
formulated
?
Then
state
it
.
"
Martin
took
his
seat
amidst
an
uproar
of
voices
.
A
score
of
men
were
on
their
feet
clamoring
for
recognition
from
the
chair
.
And
one
by
one
,
encouraged
by
vociferous
applause
,
speaking
with
fire
and
enthusiasm
and
excited
gestures
,
they
replied
to
the
attack
.
It
was
a
wild
night
—
but
it
was
wild
intellectually
,
a
battle
of
ideas
.
Some
strayed
from
the
point
,
but
most
of
the
speakers
replied
directly
to
Martin
.
They
shook
him
with
lines
of
thought
that
were
new
to
him
;
and
gave
him
insights
,
not
into
new
biological
laws
,
but
into
new
applications
of
the
old
laws
.
They
were
too
earnest
to
be
always
polite
,
and
more
than
once
the
chairman
rapped
and
pounded
for
order
.
It
chanced
that
a
cub
reporter
sat
in
the
audience
,
detailed
there
on
a
day
dull
of
news
and
impressed
by
the
urgent
need
of
journalism
for
sensation
.
He
was
not
a
bright
cub
reporter
.
He
was
merely
facile
and
glib
.
He
was
too
dense
to
follow
the
discussion
.
In
fact
,
he
had
a
comfortable
feeling
that
he
was
vastly
superior
to
these
wordy
maniacs
of
the
working
class
.
Also
,
he
had
a
great
respect
for
those
who
sat
in
the
high
places
and
dictated
the
policies
of
nations
and
newspapers
.
Further
,
he
had
an
ideal
,
namely
,
of
achieving
that
excellence
of
the
perfect
reporter
who
is
able
to
make
something
—
even
a
great
deal
—
out
of
nothing
.
He
did
not
know
what
all
the
talk
was
about
.
It
was
not
necessary
.
Words
like
revolution
gave
him
his
cue
.
Like
a
paleontologist
,
able
to
reconstruct
an
entire
skeleton
from
one
fossil
bone
,
he
was
able
to
reconstruct
a
whole
speech
from
the
one
word
revolution
.
