Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Hon. William Jackson Armstrong: Of Perris, California The idle millionaire is prince and lord; industrious poverty is his vassal. Not manhood but monopoly guides the affairs of the American State. New and tremendous forces disordering the distribution of wealth and changing the face of the planet go unrecognized by learning and ignored of law. By the common toil of its people this nation has advanced to wealth beyond the precedents or the dreams of history. Into the scheme of the division of this wealth has entered the applied science of the Lousiana Lottery. I beg the Lottery´s pardon. I do it a wrong. That is an honest swindle. One hundred thousand thrifty gentlemen playing with notched cards against the nation´s earnings have within thirty years drawn out of the game more than one-half of the possessions of the American people! It is a game they understand. A million of honest and willing workingmen daily tramp the highways of this republic and the streets of its cities hunting for the privilege of earning their bread! Ten thousand millionaires eat the daily bread which they do not earn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
