Excerpt from A Dishonest Silver Dollar Cheats the Laboring Man and Enriches Speculators: Speech of Hon. S. B. Chittenden, of New York, Delivered in the House of Representatives, Thursday, May 8, 1879
I admit that I speak as a capitalist. Yes, I am a robber, if the gentleman's doctrine is sound. I worked two full days, twenty-four hours, in my thirteenth year for the first dollar I ever called my own, and I have been a robber, on the gentleman's theory, from that tune to this. Nevertheless, I assert my brotherhood with every man in the land who owns an honest hoe, horse, house, farm, bond, bank, railroad, or steamship, provided their capital, great or small, is the fruit of honest work and savings. Every industrious and temperate man in this country makes money but it requires common sense and tact to save something and be a capitalist.
