Wealth acquired honestly comes gradually and is the result of economy and wisely directed industry. The work of such accumulation benefits mankind and purifies morals. But how about the persons who through fraud secure the passage of a tariff law that gives them a monopoly of the nations trade and enables them to demand an advanced price from all the people while they import pauper labor to perform the physical tasks? Is that an honest way of making money? Theman or combination that plans a " corner on the farmers wheat and scoops in their millions are called gentlemen. while the poor man who steals a loaf of bread to feed his starving family is called athief.
