Coming out of prison she went into the same business and sold molasses candy on Sunday.
Again she was arrested and imprisoned.
On coming out, showing the total depravity of a woman's heart, she again went into the same business and sold molasses candy on Sunday.
Whereupon the police, the mayor, and the public sentiment of the city rose up and declared that, though the heavens fell, no woman should be allowed to sell molasses candy on a Sunday.
Yet the law puts its hands behind its back and walks up and down in the presence of a thousand abominations and dares not whisper.
There are scores of men today on the streets, whose costly family wardrobes, whose rosewood furniture, whose splendid turnouts, whose stately mansions are made out of the distresses of sewing women, whose money they gathered up in a stock swindle.
There is human sweat in the golden tankards.
There is human blood in the crimson plush.
There are the bones of unrequited toil in the pearly keys of the piano.
There is the curse of an incensed god hovering over all their magnificence.
Some night the man will not be able to rest, but
He will rise up in bewilderment and look about him crying Who is there?
Those whom he has wronged will thrust their skinny arms under the tapestry and touch his brow and feel for his heart and blow their sepulchral breath into his face, crying Come to judgment.

In England, in the early part of the last century, reports were circulated of the fabulous wealth of South America.
A company was formed with a stock of what would be equal to thirty million of our dollars.
The government guaranteed to the company the control of all the trade to the South Sea, and the company was to assume the entire debt of England, then amounting to one hundred and forty million of dollars.
Magnificent project.
The English nation talked and dreamed of nothing but Peruvian gold and Mexican silver.
The national debt liquidated and El Dorado's numbless and illimitable.
