A POLITICAL Preferment, labelled with its price, was canvassing the
State to find a purchaser.  One day it offered itself to a Truly
Good Man, who, after examining the label and finding the price was
exactly twice as great as he was willing to pay, spurned the
Political Preferment from his door.  Then the People said: "Behold,
this is an honest citizen!"  And the Truly Good Man humbly
confessed that it was so.
