American democracy. "The division of parties is just the reverse in
America to what it is in England. In England the stronghold of democracy
is in the large towns, and aristocracy has its strongest supporters in
the country. In America the ultra-democrat and leveller is the western
farmer, and the aristocratic tendency is most visible amongst the
manufacturers and merchants of the eastern cities." (p. 181.)]
