the senator from new york [william seward] said yesterday that the whole world had abolished slavery. aye, the name, but not the thing; all the powers of the earth cannot abolish that. god only can do it when he repeals the fiat, "the poor ye always have with you; " for the man who lives by daily labor, and scarcely lives at that, and who has to put out his labor in the market, and take the best he can get for it; in short, your whole hireling class of manual laborers and "operatives," as you call them, are essentially slaves.

a)hyperbole b) red herring c) straw man d) ad hominem
