books, and supposing his pastor was re-

The Passion for Money Making.

Go with me TO Philadelphia, and | will

five dollars, or ten dollars. And that ma
chine is just like many men. can point
YOU to dozen men in New York that aro
nothing but great iron machines. That
is. their whole life is nothing TO them bul
a continual effort to get rich or richer. -
Take from them the simple power ol
making money. the simple stamping pow
er, and all the rest is Of no more value
than iron machinery.
Suppose you should go and sit down at
the mint with this machine-this die I? You
say. Good morning, sir. How is your
health? What is your impression in re-
gard TO politics What is the condition
OF your conscienceP 1t keeps on punch.

punch, punch, all its life long. And
there are men in New York that you
might talk to about everylhing in the uni
verse, but they know nothing but how to
punch out money, and when they havo
made it, it is no more to them than il it
