The Valley of Democracy

By: Nicholson, Meredith

"THE great trouble with these fellows down here," remarked my friend as we left the office of a New York banker-"the trouble with all of 'em is that they forget about the Folks. You noticed that when he asked in his large, patronizing way how things are going out West he didn't wait for us to answer; he pressed a button and told his secretary to bring in those tables of railroad earnings and to-day's crop bulletins and that sort of rubbish, so he could tell us. It never occurs to 'em that the Folks are human beings and not just a column of statistics. Why, the Folks--" My friend, an orator of distinction, formerly represented a tall-corn district in Congress. He drew me into Trinity churchyard and discoursed in a vein with which I had long been familiar upon a certain condescension in Easterners, and the East's intolerable ignorance of the ways and manners, the hopes and aims, of the West, which move him to rage and despair.
