More from Charles Sumner
It is larger than the entire profit of all the commerce and manufactures of the world.
The subterfuges of the politician cannot escape it.
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
