There have been large fortunes gathered where there was not one drop of unrequited toil in the wine.
Not one spark of bad temper flashing from the bronze bracket.
Not one drop of needlewoman's heart blood in the crimson plush
While there are other great establishments in which there is not one doorknob, not one brick, not one trinket, not one thread of lace, but has upon it the mark of dishonour.
What wonder if, some day, a hand of toil that has been wrung, and worn out, and blistered until the skin came off, should be placed against the elegant wallpaper, leaving its mark of blood, four fingers and a thumb, or that some days, walking the halls there should be a voice accosting the occupant saying
Six cents for making a shirt, said
And flying the room another voice should say twelve cents for an army blanket.
And the man should try to sleep at night.
But ever and anon be aroused, until getting up on one elbow he should shriek out Who's there?
There are thousands of fortunes made in commercial spheres that are throughout righteousness, and
God will let his favour rest upon every scroll, every pictured wall, every traceried window.
And the joy that flashes from the lights and showers from the music
And dances in the children's quick feet pattering through the hall.
Will utter the congratulation of men and the approval of God.
The merchant can,
To the last item, be thoroughly honest.
There is never any need for falsehood.
Yet how many will, day by day, hour by hour, utter what they know to be wrong?
You say that you are selling at less than cost, but
If so, then it is right to say it.
