COST OF A RICH MAN.
At the smallest average, for the making of a single rich man we make a thousand whose life long is one flood of misery. The charnel houses of poverty are in the shadow of the palace, and as one is splendid, so is the other dark, poisonous, degraded. How can a man grow rich except in the spoils of others' labor? His boasted prudence and economy, what is it but the most skilful availing himself of their necessities, most resolutely closing up his heart against their cries to him for help.—Froude.
