Daniel Webster's warning on class hate and currency
A historical Senate speech by Daniel Webster is cited as predicting modern dangers of demagoguery. The orator condemns claims that the poor hate the rich as a false guiding principle and warns that employing such rhetoric harms labor, value, and republican liberty. He argues sound currency protects the productive class and condemns efforts to destabilize money and blame one class for national distress. The piece ends with an unrelated local advertisement for goods at E. Klein's and R. T. Lilly.
