I

urge a sixteenth amendment, because “manhood

suffrage,”

or a man’s government, is civil, religious,

and

social disorganization. The male element is

a

destructive

force, stern, selfish, aggrandizing, loving

war,

violence, conquest, acquisition, breeding in

the

material

and moral world alike discord, disorder,

disease,

and death. See what a record of blood and

cruelty

the pages of history reveal! Through what

slavery,

slaughter, and sacrifice, through what

inquisitions

and imprisonments, pains and

persecutions,

black codes and gloomy creeds, the

soul

of humanity has struggled for the centuries,

while

mercy has veiled her face and all hearts

have

been

dead alike to love and hope!

The

male element has held high carnival thus

far;

it

has fairly run riot from the beginning,

overpowering

the feminine element everywhere,

crushing

out all the diviner qualities in human

nature,

until we know but little of true manhood and

womanhood,

of the latter comparatively nothing, for

it

has scarce been recognized as a power until

within

the

last century. Society is but the reflection of

man

himself,

untempered by woman’s thought; the hard

iron

rule we feel alike in the church, the state, and

the

home.

No one need wonder at the disorganization,

at

the

fragmentary condition of everything, when we

remember

that man, who represents but half a

complete

being, with but half an idea on every

subject,

has undertaken the absolute control of all

sublunary

matters.

People

object to the demands of those whom they

choose

to call the strong-minded, because they say

“the

right of suffrage will make the women

masculine.”

That is just the difficulty in which we are

involved

today. Though disfranchised, we have few

women

in the best sense; we have simply so many

reflections,

varieties, and dilutions of the masculine

gender.

The strong, natural characteristics of

womanhood

are repressed and ignored in

dependence,

for so long as man feeds woman she

will

try to please the giver and adapt herself to

his

condition.

To keep a foothold in society, woman

must

be as near like man as possible, reflect his

ideas,

opinions,

virtues, motives, prejudices, and vices. She

must

respect his statutes, though they strip her

of

every

inalienable right, and conflict with that

higher

law

written by the finger of God on her own soul. . .

.

.

. . [M]an has been molding woman to his

ideas

by

direct and positive influences, while she, if not

a

negation,

has used indirect means to control him,

and

in most cases developed the very

characteristics

both

in him and herself that needed repression.

And

now man himself stands appalled at the

results

of

his own excesses, and mourns in bitterness

that

falsehood,

selfishness, and violence are the law of

life.

The

need of this hour is not territory, gold

mines,

railroads,

or specie payments but a new evangel of

womanhood,

to exalt purity, virtue, morality, true

religion,

to lift man up into the higher realms of

thought

and action.

We

ask woman’s enfranchisement, as the first

step

toward

the recognition of that essential element in

government

that can only secure the health, strength,

and

prosperity of the nation. Whatever is done to

lift

woman

to her true position will help to usher in a

new

day of peace and perfection for the race.

In

speaking of the masculine element, I do not

wish

to be understood to say that all men are

hard,

selfish,

and brutal, for many of the most beautiful

spirits

the world has known have been clothed with

manhood;

but I refer to those characteristics, though

often

marked in woman, that distinguish what is

called

the stronger sex. For example, the love of

acquisition

and conquest, the very pioneers of

civilization,

when expended on the earth, the sea, the

elements,

the riches and forces of nature, are powers

of

destruction when used to subjugate one man

to

another

or to sacrifice nations to ambition.

Here

that great conservator of woman’s love, if

permitted

to assert itself, as it naturally would in

freedom

against oppression, violence, and war,

would

hold all these destructive forces in check,

for

woman

knows the cost of life better than man does,

and

not with her consent would one drop of blood

ever

be shed, one life sacrificed in

vain.
