850 - L. July 16; ed: 2/1 - In the commercial and financial transactions
of the nation, New York is becoming the index of trade throughout the
world. Wall Street is an infernal machine which sends its life ting ling
along the channels of trade. The men who run the machine are not known
to attach a higher value to patriotism than to pocket.
"The laws of war will yet come in, the laws of trade will prevail,
and tumbling of a huge kind will be the order of the day." - (18)
