"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... corporations have
been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and
the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by
working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated
in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 (letter to Col. William
F. Elkins) Ref: "The Lincoln Encyclopedia", Archer H. Shaw (Macmillan,
1950, NY)
