The tables were packed with over-worked and underpaid men, to whom lunch was merely a means of keeping themselves from feeling inconveniently empty a state to which the leadlike viands of the Florida Lunch Room were a certain prevention. Carl was gulping down salty beef stew and bitter coffee served in handleless cups half an inch thick.
Now all this bears directly upon the alphabet. What sort of philosophy is that which says, "John is a fool; Jane is a genius; nevertheless, John, being a man, should learn, lead, make laws, make money; Jane, being a woman, shall be ignorant, dependent, disfranchised, underpaid."
Then, at last he consented, on one condition, and that was that Ezekiel should give up all his wealth to someone the spectre should name. "Who am I to give it to?" gasped Ezekiel humbly. "To John Cull, the man you have overworked and underpaid for years. John Cull, your clerk and dependent."
But even the few who, like Ibsen's Mrs Solness, have "a genius for nursing the souls of little children" are like angels forced to work in prisons instead of in heaven; and even at that they are mostly underpaid and despised. That friend of mine who went from the hedge schoolmaster to Harrow once saw a schoolmaster rush from an elementary school in pursuit of a boy and strike him.
And if anything was calculated to infuriate the Southerners it was the boast that the capitalists of Massachusetts had $100,000,000 invested in railroads, for they knew, and often charged, that most of this sum had been cheated by legislation out of the National, State or other public treasury, and that what had not been so obtained had been extracted largely from the underpaid and overworked laborers of the mills.

Here were women, fighting a good fight for the cause of women for the underpaid factory workers and the overfed lady of fortune who is deprived the right of voice in the government over her inherited property. Find two examples from the daily papers where statistics are used to establish a complex fact.
You've talked about early hardships, misunderstood childhood, goat tending, and what not; and the world gives you credit for your achievements. Then surely you must understand the woman's end of the game the American woman's part in business, for it's not easy to be errand girl or to fill endless underpaid clerical positions.
She was the only and orphaned daughter of a much-loved sister, who, up till a year ago, had known nothing more exciting in the way of "life" than that which is to be found in a small village in Suffolk and falls to the lot of an underpaid vicar's only child. A railway accident had suddenly deprived her of both parents, throwing her wholly upon her own resources without a penny in the world.
At an early stage I learned to know Clement Blaine for a sweater of underpaid labour, a man as grossly self-indulgent as he was unprincipled, as much a charlatan as he was, in many ways, an ignoramus. Yet I see now, more clearly than then, that even Clement Blaine was not all bad. He was not even completely a charlatan.
