God has intended the great to be great and the little to be little … The trade unions, under the European system, destroy liberty … I do not mean to say that a dollar a day is enough to support a workingman … not enough to support a man and five children if he insists on smoking and drinking beer. But the man who cannot live on bread and water is not fit to live! A family may live on good bread and water in the morning, water and bread at midday, and good bread and water at night! — Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
