The fresh system of things has pro- duced no more decided result than a different regard for material interests. You shall not again charge the Kentuckians with lacking either "the telescopic appreciation of distant gain, " or the microscopic appreciation of pres- ent gain. The influence of money is active, and the illusion of wealth become a reality. Profits are now more likely to pass into accu- mulation and structure. There is more discus- sion of costs and values. Small economies are more d...welt upon in thought and conversation. Actually you shall find the people higgling with the dealer over prices. And yet how signifi- cant a fact is it in their life that the merchant does not, as a rule, give exact change over the counter ! At least the cent has not yet been put under the microscope.
