They should be struck down as violations of a natural right. The right that lincoln understood as the right to free labor. The right that was, of course, at the core of the slavery crisis. It is the unenumerated but surely implied constitutional right to economic liberty. Laws survive and proliferate today because courts have long since, since the new deal stopped doing their duty to defend this economic liberty against the rent seeking enemies. In a sense, the problem began in louisiana 16 years before the monks monastery was founded. It began across from the monastery in new orleans. That city had rewarded some rent seeking butchers a lucrative benefit. The city had created a cartel for them by requiring that all slaughtering be done in their slaughterhouses.

And wilhile i was growing talle they were growing shorter and a
Lament of the irish immigrant, set to music. Many of lincolns quips also resorted to irish analogies. Sometimes they were caustic, and perhaps a bit insulting to make a point. His first reported jibe about a poor irishman comes from one of his congressional speeches on the need for sensible improvements which he described an irishman who had a pair of new boots. Quoting lincoln i shall never get him on, said patrick, until i wear them a day or two and stretch them out a bit, unquote. Late in the quarter, an observer recalled that lincoln said there was a Cabinet Meeting in the afternoon, general grant who had just returned gave a very interesting account of the state of the south, and the good feeling manifested by the offices of the confederate army. They all said they were ready to lay down their guns and go home. Then lincoln said some of you just said something about hunting up old jeff davis. Well, i for one hope he would be like pattys flea.
