The Rothschild Dynasty 55<br />
among <strong>the</strong> laboring classes was as great and<br />
indescribable as to threaten to end in riot and rebellion.<br />
The hardships endured by <strong>the</strong> poorer classes were<br />
aggravated by <strong>the</strong> disgraceful condition of our political<br />
system. Morality was at a discount; bribery and intrigue<br />
