There has been a comparison made between the drafting of men for the army and navy and the freedom allowed owners of capital. It has been claimed that the products of manufacture should be exacted as readily as arms and legs, eyes and heads and lives. Such arguments, however, insult the patriotism of the armorers, all of whom would gladly give their last drop of blood, if necessary, for the good of their country.

...recent "Crime," reference was made to "plump maidens, attired in healthy bloomers, who shriek with delight as they force their Lotharios to wallow in the mud"; these being the girls from Winsor. The writer, adding insult to injury, associated these same girls with some whom a "gentleman" could not identify as male or female. And later in this same article, the author mentions "the menace of Winsor."
