Commerce is, in its essence, _satanic_. Commerce, is the loan returned,
it is the loan with an understanding: Return more than I gave you.
--The spirit of everything commercial is completely depraved.
--Commerce is _natural_, hence it is _infamous_.
--The least infamous of tradesmen is he who says: "Let us be virtuous
that we may gain much more money than the fools who are vicious." For
the tradesman, honesty itself is a speculation. Commerce is Satanic,
because it is one of the forms of egoism, the lowest, and the most vile.
