Excerpt from The Commoner, Condensed, Vol. 4
To say that it does not pay a nation to violate the rights of a people of another nation involves so much of addition, sub traction, multiplication and division that many are lost in a maze of mathematics, but to say that the wages of sin is death is to give an epitome of history that accords with each per son's experience. To say that taxation which confers immed iate benefits upon the privileged few who secured the enact ment of the law does not find its way back by indefinite and devious ways to the pockets of the many may confuse the minds of some, but to say Thou shalt not steal either by law or in defiance of it, can be easily understood. And so in deal ing with principles, with finance, with labor problems and all the other questions at issue, we may view them from a moral standpoint and arraign every evil at the bar of public con science.
Will it win? Nothing less can give permanent success. As the martyrs who, eighteen hundred years ago, kneeling in prayer while hungry beasts devoured them, Invoked a prayer mightier than the legions of Rome, so today it is not only pos sible, but necessary to appeal to that moral sentiment of a nation which, when aroused, will prove more potent than the press.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of powerful editorials written by politician and orator, William Jennings Bryan. The speeches in this volume tackle a range of hot-button issues at the turn of the 20th century, including imperialism, corruption, and organized labor. The author's consistent theme throughout these addresses is the need for moral clarity in politics. He argues that issues of right and wrong must supersede considerations of profit and expediency. Questions of tariffs, trusts, and finance must first be examined on a moral basis, he maintains, to ensure politicians serve the interests of the people, not those of corporations and the powerful. Bryan's language is as fiery as his ideals are noble.
