President Andrew Johnson
“Your States, are sinking into mere petty corporations…. Mere satellites of an inferior character, revolving around the great central power here in Washington. There is where your danger is. It is not in centrifugal power being too great, but in the centripetal influence all drawing here.”
“The tendency of the legislation of this country is to build up monopolies.
To build up the money power
To concentrate power in the hands of the few. The tendency is for classes and against the great mass of the people.
From Claude Bower’s “The Tragic Years”, Page 30
