Dinners reveal a church and rich duping the poor
The piece indicts preachers and bishops who dine with Pierre Morgan aboard a private palace car while the hungry crowd roams Chicago. It condemns wealth hoarding, monopolies, and lavish Plaza dinners, contrasting Christ’s compassion with clerical ostentation in a stark critique of moneyed power. It notes a Duke of Marlboroughlike figure in New York society, seeking more wealth and European titles, while farm prices stay low.
