Excerpt from Lectures Addressed Chiefly to the Working Classes, Vol. 3
This phrase, money - power, was, I believe, a coinage of the Times newspaper, some few years ago, when they wished to cast odium upon nir. Hume, for the way in which he was then contesting the county of Middlesex. Because that gentleman refused to expend a large sum in the employment of agents, they tried to brand him for endeavouring to make popularity do the work of money power, the employment of which they represented as sential in English elections. Necessary it unhappily is, as our elections are at present conducted. There is no work which the moral power can achieve, in Opposition to the money-power, more needed than that of making elections the simple and uncostly choice of the fittest man to assert the people's rights and promote the nation's interests.
