Women are deprived of it because of their womanhood. The sexes,
she said, were never made to be antagonistic. Experience proves
that what is of interest to women is of interest to men. There is
no branch of business or of industry in which concession is
granted to women on account of their sex. Nobody will pay more to
a woman for any work than they will to men for the same work, and
in the making of a suit of clothes it is seen that they pay a man
more than double the amount they will to a woman for the same
work.

Prof. ESTABROOK said that he was a recent convert to this
movement. He had read the Bible, Bushnell, and Fairchild, and
some others, and was convinced that women ought not to vote. When
the question was submitted to the people by the Legislature, he
commenced to read the Bible and Bushnell and others again. He
found that Bushnell proved too much, and that the objections
urged against women voting were equally good against nine-tenths
of the men. The question of propriety--whether women should go to
the polls--was another question which he considered. He did not
now see why it was improper for woman to go where her husband or
her son must go; and if the polls are not good places, decent men
ought not to go there. He had all his life debated the question
whether the University should be opened to ladies, and his first
vote, cast as a Regent of the University, was in favor of the
admission of women to the University. He was then opposed to
their entering the medical department. But they next applied for
admission to the law department, and he voted for that, and then,
when they applied for admission to the medical department, he had
to vote for that. He had never found out what right a man
possesses to the ballot that a woman has not; and if anybody
could convince him that the right of woman to vote did not come
from the same source as man's right came from, he would be glad
to have it done.

Miss MARY F. EASTMAN said it was a hard thing to stand and demand
a right to which we were all born. It has been said by Dr. Chapin
that woman's obligations compel her to demand her rights. There
is a great cry going up from humanity, and only woman's nature
can answer it. As she recently stood at the corner of the five
streets wh
