"Let them dress their wives in satins and silks, let them ruin their country with their steamboats and railroads, let them build their big houses, go to the city, get proud, waste all their money in folly and vice, and return among honest people with a sheriff at their heels, because they don't pay nobody--but don't you go and do it.

My friends--there will be an account to settle with these people who swell themselves up so big, when roasting-day comes.

You that have wives--look to them.

Keep their hearts pure and simple.

Don't let them spend your money in silks and satins.
