This then is held to be the duty of the man of wealth. First: to set an example of modest, unostentatious (humble) living, shunning (avoiding) display; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him, and after doing so, to consider all surplus (extra) revenues which come to him simply as trust funds (money that one person manages for others), which he is strictly bound as a matter of duty, to administer in the manner which in his judgment is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community.

The man of wealth must become a trustee (money manager) and agent for his poorer brethren (brothers), bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience, and ability to administer.

Mary Elizabeth Lease was a leader of the Knights of Labor and the Populist Party. She toured the country giving speeches and was a powerful and popular speaker. Lease gave this speech at a Populist Party convention in Kansas in 1890

We want the accursed (terrible) foreclosure system wiped out… We will stand by our homes and stay by our fireside by force if necessary, and we will not pay our debts to the loan-shark companies until the government pays its debts to us. The people are at bay; let the bloodhounds of money who dogged us thus far beware.
