Last summer one man cornered pork until he had levied a tax of $3 per barrel on every consumer, and pocketed a profit of millions. The Czar of Russia would not have dared to do these things. And yet they are no secrets in this free government of ours ! They are known of all men, and, my countrymen, no argument can follow them, and no plea excuse them, when they fall on the men...
Стр. 175 - What the horns are to the buffalo, what the paw is to the tiger, what the sting is to the bee, what beauty, according to the old Greek song, is to woman, deceit is to the Bengalee.

Стр. 212 - The negroes in Mandeville were, perhaps, as happy in their old condition as they have been since their glorious emancipation ; and some of them to this day speak regretfully of a time when children did not die of neglect ; when the sick and aged were taken care of, and the strong and healthy were, at least, as well looked after as their owner's cattle.
