Transcriber's Notes: Variations in spelling and hyphenation have been left as in the original. Words in italics in the original are surrounded by _underscores_. A row of asterisks represents a thought break. The original sometimes uses two numbered columns for comparisons. This text has the contents of the right column indented like a blockquote below the contents of the left column. The original uses an image of a hand with a finger pointing to the right. In this text, --> represents that image. ABOLITIONISM EXPOSED!
