Book Description
Excerpt from Decay of Integrity, Mortmain and Monopoly, Land-Trust and Restitution, Progress and Poverty, a Time for Reform: Speech of Hon. Samuel S. Cox, in Tammany Hall, July 4, 1884 Mr. Chairman: Joining with you in this patriotic celebration, I would like to pursue the beaten path. I would like to follow time honored precedent, and dwell on the heroic achievements of the fathers, review the proud progress of their sons, and paint with the roseate hue 0f prophetic hepe a glorious promise for our posterity. But duty and love of country impel me to perform a less pleasing task. Our past has, indeed, been of glorious record. Yet, above the not distant horizon of the future I see dark clouds arising, charged with elements of wrath and destruction.
