Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Forum, Vol. 22 "Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small: "Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small: "But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. "For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the Lord thy God." - Deuteronomy xxv, 13-16. "Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; "To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!" - Isaiah x, 1-2. Of the various classes of crime that come under the category of theft none is more odious and despicable than the use of false weights and measures. Stamping a coin containing 371¿ grains of silver as of the weight of one hundred cents, while in truth it is of the weight of fifty-three cents, is a falsification of weights morally not distinguishable from stamping any other kind of weight as of two pounds which in truth is only of one pound. Only the methods by which the fraud is to be made effective are different. The thievish individual depends upon secret deceit, the qualities of the sneak thief; the Government on coercion, the qualities of the highwayman.
