The author means to highlight greed as one the main characteristics of the "West Rising Men", who are also described as "sleuth-hounds", meaning they are nothing but agents hired by an investigator to do the dirty work in exchange for money -regardless of their own judgement.

The author also exemplifies the actions of a small manufacturer as a means to evidence her previous claim.

The statement 'The West Riding men are sleuth-hounds in pursuit of money' means that the riders from the west (or in layman's term, cowboys) are only interested gaining wealth or money. They are money-hungry people who'd find ways to make themselves as rich as possible.

Inspired by The writers experience of being arrested when he refused to pay a $1 poll tax as a protest against the Mexican war,
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau's essay "Civil Disobedience" was a result of his arrest after he refused to pay the toll tax of $1. This refusal was his way of protesting against the Mexican war and the practice of slavery which resulted in his arrest. The experience of being in prison led him to write about it in his essay where he stressed upon the importance of asserting one's rights even if it means going against the law, if one views the laws as unjust. With this belief, he protested against the practice of slavery and the war, for he believed that they are discriminatory against a particular race. And in practice of this protest, he refused to pay the toll tax fee that funds the war. This arrest eventually led to the production of this literary work.
