The slave trade would still be a British trade if it had not been forbid den by law through the efforts of British philanthropists who, with their eyes in the ends of the earth, did not know that British children were being overworked and beaten in British factories as cruelly as the Negro children in the plantations. (B. Shaw, ‘The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism’, ch. 37) — Англичане продолжали бы заниматься работорговлей, если бы английские филантропы не добились, чтобы она была запрещена законом. Эти люди видели, что делается в отдаленных уголках земли, но не замечали, что у них под носом английских детей морят голодом и избивают не менее жестоко, чем негритянских ребятишек на плантациях.
As for dealers they have come from the ends of the earth. (J. B. Priestley, ‘The Good Companions’, book I, ch. II) — Что касается торговцев, то они понаехали издалека.

20 the salt of the earth
coль зeмли [этим. библ.]We no longer accept these country gentlemen, these opulent ladies who drive about in barouches, as the salt of the earth, and their behaviour too often strikes us as vulgar and trivial (W. S. Maugham). So has closed the life of a working-class woman and mother typical of millions, their names never heard of, save in their own homes, but they are in truth the salt of the earth (H. Pollitt)
