An Eye Opener for the Wide Awakes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Eye Opener for the Wide Awakes

You are wide awake, you say. Of course you don't believe in bandages. There is nothing in the whole hor izon, or looming out of the future, which you think it unsafe to look at, or to take into account in making up your minds as to what is what. That's right. But keep rubbing your eyes, for it is early in the morning with some of you, and perhaps they will open wider - wide enough to see your political way at first hand, and not take it altogether from old lawyers who have read law till they have forgotten Blackstone, or old politicians who have squinted in taking their aim till they have lost sight of the mark, and can only see their own precious noses.
