Constitut. Code
At the same time, so the truth is – But for the opposite and correspondent reason relation
had to those the abovementioned so much more intensely and exclusively afflicting quantities of rapacity and oppressiveness
classes to which in the physical sense the quality attribute of impurity
incontestably appertains, will in comparison with
the others have less in be in a less degree marked by the distinguished characterized.
Yet the propriety Unfortunately, of the appellation impure
in when the case in which it is properly with propriety applied to the productive
classes the propriety is much more obvious and incontestable
than that of in the case in which it is with so
much less propriety applicable to those same classes while
it in the moral sense it is with so much more properly
applicable to the unproductive classes. If a
man be covered with dirt, you see it at once in a
minute by a gl single glance at his dirty face. But if he
be a man who after upon sacrificing to his
own gratification the subsistence of 100,000 human beings of
the productive class is still running in debt, disdaining to
run in his impotence apply a bridle to that rapacity
by which he is urged to go on in the same sinister sacrifice
so long as a particle an of it remains unsacrificed
nothing of this do you see in his face or anywhere in anything about him: on the contrary you see him encompassed with
trappings the object of which, and in but too great a degree
the effect, to cause you to disbelieve your own character
and experience and cause you to believe regard him not as one quantity of the number in the case of those being characterized distinguished with any such
of those mischievous qualities with by which he is so prominently
distinguished, but as one who is pure of all those
qualities from the effects of which conversion of which into acts suffering
in any shape to other individuals is derived.
