Quotes by Ignatius L. Donnelly  (?)

“We meet in the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, political, and material ruin. Corruption dominates the ballot-box, the Legislatures, the Congress…. The people are demoralized; The newspapers are largely subsidized or muzzled, public opinion silenced, business prostrated, homes covered with mortgages, labor impoverished…. The fruits of the toil of millions are badly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the history of mankind; and the possessors of these, in turn, despise the Republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of governmental injustice we breed the two great classes—tramps and millionaires.”
Ignatius Donnelly

“There is an unbelief which grows out of ignorance, as well as a skepticism which is born of intelligence.”
Ignatius L. Donnelly, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World
