y _alone_ can be of any
avail.... By art-liberty, my friends, I mean the _practical application_
of _all_ science and art _systemized_ as fast as unfolded. The only law
which can govern a free state must be _discovered_; it must be drawn from
the _whole of science and art_--not 'enacted.' Human law can no more be
'enacted' than can physical law." ... "Man's leaders must find out how to
satisfy man's highest aspirations, instead of catering for his prejudices;
instead of confirming him, by flattery and cajolery, in his false,
supernaturalistic notions; instead of studying the trickery of
representing and plundering him. And they will rapidly find this out, as
soon as a knowledge (already attained) of the _unity of science_ spreads
among them, and along with it its correllate, that all mankind are one
organism, no individual of which can be indifferent to _each_ and _all_ of
the others. Enlightened, far-seeing, _all-benefiting selfishness_ will
then take the place of short-sighted, suicidal, penny-wise pound-foolish
cunning; and that barricade of hypocrisy, duty, that most fallible of all
guides, conscience, and 'virtue' and 'vice,' those most unscientific and
mischievous expressions that have ever crept into the vocabulary of human
folly, will be obsolete."

Here is the outcome of the liberty that infidels talk so much about.
"Art-liberty" is to ANNIHILATE CONSCIENCE and the distinction between
virtue and vice so completely that there will be no more use for the
words, "they will be obsolete." "All benefiting selfishness will then
govern humanity." Reader, are you prepared for such a state of society?
"If all _contracts_ in accordance with present 'law' were fulfilled to the
letter, and if all the '_duties_' enjoined by present moralism were
unflinchingly performed, and if all which 'virtue' styles 'vice' was
entirely abstained from, and if what is now 'free trade' according to
'law,' had a 'fair field,' how long would it take a millionth of the
earth's inhabitants to accumulate _all_ its wealth? In my opinion, it
would not take ten generations to produce that reign of 'law,'
'principle,' 'morality,' 'virtue' and 'free trade,' or
mind-your-own-business, and every-one-for-himself-ism, on the earth." Are
infidels down on law, down on virtue, down on principle, down on morality,
etc.? _It seems so._ "But there must be no stealing, swindling or robbery,
as _legally defined, on any_ account; and there must be no sexual
