Excerpt from The Problem: Shall Avarice Rule?These combinations control the transportation of the country. They own the mines of iron and coal. The most profitable branches of the manufacturing industries are largely in their hands. By their ponderous weight they break down the competition of men of moderate means. By the combination of combinations they are enabled to exact from the masses enormous profits on fictitious capital, and through their frauds grow rich while honest men are kept in poverty. They ply their trade in the halls of legislation. The caucus and convention are governed by their intri gues. The newspaper is brought into requisition to mould public Opinion, and the courts of justice are prostituted to their use.The government which but a few years ago challenged the admi ration of the world has become the laughing stock of the nations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
