said:

price and the appearance of products
to the processes and conditions by
which they are produced we would be
better consumers and better citizens
If the men could see upon their cigars
the finger marks of the 1000 children
employed in the manufacture of the

such delight in purchasing fabrics OF
silks and cotton could see upon those
articles the tears of $4,000 children
employed in their production, the Con.
