I Have Tried So Hard

At Times Like The Present, When The Evils Of Unsound Finance Threaten Us, The Speculator May Anticipate A Harvest Gathered From The Misfortune Of Others, The Capitalist May Protect Himself By Hoarding Or May Even Find Profit In The Fluctuations Of Values; But The Wage Earner - The First To Be Injured By A Depreciated Currency And The Last To Receive The Benefit Of Its Correction - Is Practically Defenseless.

The Laboring Classes Constitute The Main Part Of Our Population. They Should Be Protected In Their Efforts Peaceably To Assert Their Rights When Endangered By Aggregated Capital And All Statutes On This Subject Should Recognize The Care Of The State For Honest Toil And Be Framed With A View Of Improving The Condition Of The Workingman

My Greatest Trials Come Through Those Professing To Be Near And Attached Friends, Who Expect Things.

I Have Tried So Hard To Do The Right.
