Its labor supplies the product, which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth.

These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization."

"Thus that which is the most awful of evils, death, is nothing to us, since when we exist there is no death, and when there is death, we do not exist."
                        --- Epicurus (341-270 B.C.)
