The lesson these days is the vulgarity of wealth. We know that wealth will vote for the same thing which the worst and meanest of the people vote for.

The lesson these days is the vulgarity of wealth. We know that wealth
will vote
for the same thing which the worst and meanest of the people vote for. Wealth
will vote for rum, will vote for tyranny, will vote for slavery, wiil vote
against the ballot, will vote against international copyright,
will vote against schools, colleges or any high direction of public money.
