When last e«en he was werclng a blue shirt ar-i carried a r!'!e wi‘h him. “la 1SS1 an article In the West minister Review attracted. .' adten- Uoa to the novel stfbjeet of lb en franchisement of a woman. Since that time the sgMaiion for w> men’s rights has Ir- this colmtry and to a still greater extent In Am<*rf~ ra attained the dimension* of a po ll tier.' movement. TJhe sutojeot nas therefore, become one of general > tercet and my colleagues and 1 will try to convlroe you by these state ments and arguments that women shonld have c- right to vote. First 1*. the political rights of wrrnen. the discussion which 'has turned upon the right of suffrage. The right to votf^ls claimed In ac cordance with the principles of po litical reaaor-lng that are held con clusive In the ease of men. The arguments applies to a democrr.Me constitution. Democracy involves two. Ideas. It Is s protest against privilege and against despotism; maintains that every Irdltidua) la boro with an equal right to the protection and consideration of tho !ew; and it affirms that every opo must have a vote in order to secure this fundamental right. The practice of the United Rtr.*es shows a gradual approach to those prin- 1 Clples. Till lately, the negroes were refused the benefit of them; hut the privilege founded or- color hr* persisted and there revnr.’ns now on ly the privilege fonMed on sex. In England the right to vote has been made to rest on the principles of Engllfh law. A petition of wo men to the House of Commons, set forth that the possession of property In this conr.-rv. carries wi h it the rbxht to vote In the el.-e- tlen of representatives In parlia ment FYcsn the e^.-llcrt time* the principles have required that no man’s property should be taken for the purposes of goverwment with out his corment. Bince, the Eng lish law permits women to hold and mr-nage propertv, J* eemn* 1n- eonalaterrt that It should rwfuae them a vote to protect their proner- ty from Inordinate taxation. Oth er person* allowed bv the law to hold property are IdF-ts, Ineeifle* and criminals. But the principle of dlsnuallfleatlon In those cr.->e«« rtxW not* apply to women. M’— over, there Is alleged to be his torical evidence that women have voted both in eour*‘ies and bor- otlghs. j*/rs|n, the claim of women to the suffrage is not without supnort from prer-Mcr.’ considerations. His tory tcache-s that women must have vofrs In order to protect their in terest Then there Is the Industrial rights of women which embrace the ndmhdor- to all offices, oo-upa- tlon, md profession: nfao to the universities or some ndeouate pro vision for the education of wom"ii *-’o as to fit the.ni for high posts. This raises the question of the proper sphere of women. The prevailing ideas point to marriage r-s the true If not the sole end of a woman’s existence: but this theory is inadequate to meet our social difficulties. Many women are unmr.rried. What Is to be done with them? To hinder theil from doing the best they can °for themselves, would be a manifest In justice. TJherefore, In the lr«‘®re*t of single women, all occupations, should be open. But the claims on behalf of women, do not atop there. It is denied that men have w»yi right h> exclude women from ac tive life, and so drive them ln*o marriage ae their only livelihood. On grounds at Justice, the right o' women to enter into industry la conceived aa almost too clear for argument. The women of the middle cleaa have held) aloof from, the rewarda of iaduetcy by a mistaken aspira tion to aristocratic leisure. This operates injuriously In vsrious ways It crowds the workshops, aM the middle class women often discharge duties thst might be lefft to upper servants. Tfie exclusion of women of the middle class from industry la hurtful to themselves. It often lead* to poverty of the bitterest kind. So that with these state ments.
