So, our honest politicians and our honorable corporation heads owe it to their reputations to bring their activities out into the open.
In most parts of our country men work, not for themselves, not as partners in the old way in which they used to work, but generally as employees,—in a higher or lower grade,—of great corporations. There was a time when corporations played a very minor part in our business affairs, but now they play the chief part, and most men are the servants of corporations.
We must build up industry as well, and must adopt freedom in the place of artificial stimulation only so far as it will build, not pull down.
