...sensationalism, had given to an awe-stricken public.

Dr. Hamlin has asserted that the Cobden Club bribes our college students to write free trade essays. Doubtless he suspects that some of his own students have the price of their shame in their pockets, and he intends to satisfy his mind by weighing the suspected men.
