12217What, then, as to individual size and aggregate amount of the profits?
12217What, then, shall be done about it?
12217Which is the better economic situation?
12217Who is to receive the benefits and upon whom and how shall new taxes be levied to pay the cost?
12217Whose sacrifice?
12217Why are not such matters as we have been discussing safely left to individuals?
12217Why may the railway exercise the sovereign power of government as against the private property rights of others?
12217Why then has the fractional coinage a monetary value equal to the standard money, dollar for dollar?
12217Why?
38047And thus hereby a doctrine long since abandoned in economic reasonings is in the way of reappearing; for have we not need of normals and averages?
38047And what shall we say of"inevitable economic tendencies"?
38047And why will these other goods buy it?
38047And will not other competing articles of food have their values increased also?
38047Because men desire it?
38047But does it follow from this that what we may call the social energy of value- giving is a limited thing?
38047But how get at this?
38047But what about value in a situation where there are differences in"purchasing power"?
38047But what phases of the emotional- volitional side of mind are most significant?
38047Can not circumstances arise which will make it vary in amount?
38047Can these monopoly products then call forth a definite amount of social labor?
38047Does the value that leaves the general range of commodities all betake itself to the gold supply?
38047Granted: but what evidence is there of exact equivalence?
38047How are men to be prevented from getting monopolies?
38047How assimilate the one situation to the other?
38047How much of J. S. Mill''s economic system survives?
38047How prevent laws in the interests of the alert and influential?
38047How prevent the monopoly of ideas?
38047If a new want arises, does it necessarily follow that all the old wants become less intense in the exact degree that the new want is intense?
38047If so, marginal utility to whom?
38047Is distribution a price problem or a value problem?
38047Is marginal utility equal to value here?
38047Is value a quantity or a relation?
38047Is value a thing which determines causally exchange relations, or is value determined causally by them?
38047Let these bank credits become unstable: let_ social confidence_ be wiped out, and what happens to general prices and values?
38047Marginal utility determines price?
38047Marginal utility to whom?
38047Must a quantum of value be withdrawn from the old objects precisely equal to that which is attached to the new object?
38047Now have the Austrians done this?
38047Or can they merely call out a definite amount of value?
38047Or, again, what does the system of competition mean?
38047Or, granted that it is limited, does it necessarily follow that the limits are fixed and rigid?
38047Prices are big with the moral tidings they would speak-- shall we read in them only mathematical ratios between quantities of physical objects?
38047Professor Clark elsewhere says:-- But the owner is a part of the social body, and is the organic whole indifferent to his suffering?
38047To whom, then?
38047What connection is there than, between the value of the good and social labour?
38047What has become of the values?
38047What is the relation of the distributive problem to value theory and to price theory?
38047What quantitative relation is there between the satisfaction which an individual man gets from a good and the value of that good?
38047Whom shall she invite?
38047Why do some see in it a benevolent influence, while for others it is a ghastly nightmare?
38047Why do we have such varied estimates from different writers?
38047Will not the value of everything in their store of provisions be increased?
38047Will not the value of the total existing supply of the articles in which there is a failure be raised?
38047Will not their whole stock of wealth have a greater value?
38047Would the sum total of values remain the same?
10612But can we suppose that these things are measured with any approach to accuracy by the wages which are paid in actual fact?
10612But does this money cost to the individual correspond to, and measure, any real cost to the community as a whole?
10612But how far does actual experience bear his assertion out?
10612But how would you proceed to choose?
10612But if it acted in this manner, what essentially would it be doing?
10612But what does it signify?
10612But what exactly does this mean?
10612But what exactly is the secret of the charm of Monte Carlo?
10612But what is capital, and in what does its use consist?
10612But what is likely to be the magnitude of this excess?
10612But, once more, what essentially would you be doing?
10612But, one motor bicycle is as much as he is at all likely to buy, and what becomes, then, of the distinction between total and marginal utility?
10612Can we make any sense of the notion of utility as applying to one of these things, taken by itself?
10612Can we then accord to demand so dignified and to utility so subordinate a place?
10612Could we say that our total real wealth had been doubled?
10612For what is the cost of producing wool, or the cost of producing mutton?
10612How can we speak here with a straight face of the relation between marginal utility and price?
10612How far is it possible to alter that?
10612How is this apportionment effected as things are now?
10612How is this fact to be represented in the diagram?
10612How much, then, of the utility of woollen goods should be attributed to the wool and how much to the textile machinery?
10612How would it decide the number of sheep it would maintain?
10612How, then, can we explain the separate prices of these things by reference to cost alone?
10612How, then, would it proceed?
10612Is it true, even as a broad general rule, that the services which are most arduous and most disagreeable command the highest price?
10612Is risk- taking rewarded if there is any such excess, however small?
10612Let us suppose all this, and ask only the question: How would this executive treat the humdrum case of wool and mutton?
10612More difficult still, to what does rent correspond?
10612Now will any reader make so bold as to say that there is no land under cultivation, in respect of which this net rent is either nil or negligible?
10612Or will it suffice that the gains and losses should average out to a fair rate of interest over the whole industry?
10612There are profits: to what real costs do profits correspond?
10612To what causes is this familiar fact to be attributed?
10612What are its results from the point of view of the community?
10612What are the alternatives which she has been weighing one against the other in that momentary pause?
10612What claim has it to be regarded as an independent factor of production?
10612What is the essence of this waiting, as we have called it?
10612What was it that the argument of § 3 went to show?
10612What would be the return which must be expected from the risky enterprise, in the event of its succeeding, before it will be undertaken?
10612What, then, is likely to be the value and the rent of this marginal land, this land which is just on the"margin of cultivation"?
10612What, then, is the normal relation between price and cost in the case of coal?
10612What, then, might we expect to find if order was nonexistent in the economic world?
10612What, then, will be the rent of a fertile and well- situated farm, about which there is no doubt that it is well worth cultivating?
10612When, therefore, it is said that the prices measure their respective marginal utilities, what exactly is meant?
10612Where will this lead you?
10612Why should it dissipate its profits in this way?
10612Why should not men take their services to the tasks for which they can command a higher reward, and which women can not do as well?
21623Are you in earnest?
21623But where is the money for me?
21623Is it such a fast that I have chosen? 21623 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
21623Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? 21623 What agreement hath the temple of God with idols?"
21623Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury or interest?
21623Who is my neighbor?
21623Whose shall these things be?
21623Why should the laws presume to level the rates for a whole state? 21623 ''What will you take?'' 21623 A day for a man to afflict his soul?... 21623 Also I said, The thing ye do is not good: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies? 21623 And when one buys a farm for money does not that farm produce other money yearly? 21623 And whence is derived the profit of the merchant? 21623 Antonio--And what of him?
21623But were not the people of Israel discharged to take any usury or profit for lent money from their brethren?
21623Could there be a more absurd application of a Scripture passage?
21623Did he take interest?"
21623Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
21623Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by which ye are called?"
21623Do they on this account deny themselves any of the good things of this life?
21623Have we not the rights of the cattle?
21623His ear is deaf to the voice,"Is not this the fast that I have chosen?
21623How do you prove from scripture, that moderate usury, or common interest, is not oppression in itself?
21623How do you prove that moderate usury is lawful?
21623How great a benefit can he gain by it?
21623Is it lawful to take any interest or gain for money lent?
21623Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?"
21623Is it warrantable to take interest from the poor?
21623Is money born from roofs and walls?
21623Is not this the fast that I have chosen?...
21623Is the gaining of money by usury unlawful?
21623Or is your gold and silver, ewes and rams?"
21623Psalm 15:"Jehovah, Who shall sojourn in thy tabernacles?
21623The question is frequently discussed in church circles,"How can the laboring man be attracted to the churches?"
21623The question is, how rapidly can he earn, and how soon can his earnings be collected?
21623Thus we have in Isaiah 43:13:"I will work and who will let( hinder) it?"
21623To undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed go free?...
21623Was this inserted to make interest good?
21623We clip the following story:"Why do you borrow money for so short a time?"
21623Were not the Israelites forbidden to take usury from their brethren, whether poor or rich?
21623What can the borrower do or make with this capital?
21623What does a house from the letting of which I receive a rent?
21623What does the sea beget?
21623What is it to take usury, according to the proper signification of the word?
21623What is the unlawful profit for money, which may be called usury?
21623What is the usury condemned in scripture and by what reason?
21623What is this loan worth to you?
21623What is usury?
21623What kind of usury or interest is lawful?
21623What shall we believe was the question?
21623Who doubts that idle money is wholly useless?
21623Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
21623Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
21623Will you do it?"
21623or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it?
31159Shall we adopt this new machine?
31159Shall we enter this new market?
31159Shall we make this new product?
31159Are there some who are thus the especial martyrs of progress, suffering for the general good?
31159But why is it that, at two dollars, the definite number of one thousand barrels is the amount that is taken and paid for?
31159Do any of them tend to bring themselves to a halt?
31159Do we not want great corporations with vast capitals?
31159Does it favor the consumers by giving falling prices, and hurt producers in the same degree?
31159Does it help to establish wages on the basis of the productivity of labor, and does it do it without much reducing that productivity?
31159Does it rob borrowers and enrich lenders?
31159Does it tax enterprise and paralyze the nerves of business?
31159Does the economic law of wages operate at all when civil law steps in to the extent of creating any tribunal of arbitration?
31159Does the standard of living itself tend to rise with the rise of wages and to remain above its former level?
31159Does this mean that the consolidations themselves are thus condemned?
31159How can the judges directly ascertain how much a final increment of social labor produces?
31159How does the grocer know that he can make five per cent with the final unit of capital that he borrows?
31159How is it when a tribunal of arbitration has studied the case and announced a decision?
31159How many mechanical operations go to the making of a bicycle, an automobile, or a steam yacht?
31159How many plants does the consolidated corporation own?
31159How much did they cost?
31159How, for example, is commerce with undeveloped regions to be regarded if we have the center only in view?
31159How, then, do we measure the true product of a single unit of labor?
31159If it benefits them in the end, will it impose on them an immediate hardship?
31159If there are no such standards having universal validity, are there any that are valid within single geographical divisions?
31159Is any change on which we rely for the hopeful outlook we have taken self- terminating?
31159Is money a dynamic agent, and can it be so regulated as to induce economic progress?
31159Is the dynamic movement self- retarding and will it necessarily halt?
31159Is there a rate at which the pay of labor in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and America tends to settle and remain?
31159Is there an economic law that in any way guarantees it?
31159Is this more than a possibility?
31159Must the society of the future purchase its comforts at the cost of its character?
31159Now, if a man has to buy the whole bundle, must he pay one hundred dollars plus fifty plus twenty plus ten, or one hundred and eighty for the whole?
31159On what principle can we divide the earth into sections for economic purposes?
31159Should a court then take as its standard of just wages what unorganized labor gets when it works for independent employers?

31159What is their present state of efficiency?
31159What limits the power of a single new and economical process to eject laborers from their accustomed places of employment?
31159What would be the effect of any practical measure of inflation?
31159When men make gains can they hold them, or, at any rate, some part of them, or must they fall back to the level at which they started?
31159Why is the equation of demand and supply established at exactly that price?
31159Why should not the amount of his present privation increase, when the surplus of benefit he can gain by it at a future date grows greater?
31159Why should we not, with our wide range of resources, make everything?
31159Will an economical device bring an adequate return to the man who discovers it and to the man who introduces it into productive operations?
31159Will it blight enterprise by making men afraid to build mills, railroads, etc.?
31159Will it even make certain ones pay heavily for a gain that is shared by all classes?
31159Will it make laboring men better off or worse off?
31159Will the fall check business and make men afraid to buy stocks of goods?
31159Will the further fall of prices rob the_ entrepreneurs_?
31159Would a secure monopoly do something like this?

33310Might reduce the price of raw produce to the cost of production?
33310Why,asks M. Say,"does an individual wish to sell his land?
33310Will it be said that the farmer, he who furnishes labour and capital, will, jointly with the landlord, bear the burden of this tax? 33310 Without doubt this would be a great encouragement given to manufactures and trade; but would it be just?
33310Are the powers of wind and water, which move our machinery, and assist navigation, nothing?
33310But from what fund would those pay the tax who produce corn without paying any rent?
33310But from which of these sources of fluctuation is corn exempted?
33310But how would the interest of the landlord be affected?
33310But where is the proof of this?
33310Can they multiply, if a tax takes from them a part of their wages, and reduces them to bare necessaries?
33310Could not their advancement be obtained at any other price?
33310Does nature nothing for man in manufactures?
33310Does not Mr. Malthus himself, state it never to be so?
33310Has a merchant an income equal to all the sales which he makes in the course of a year?
33310How is it to be ascertained whether English money has fallen, or Hamburgh money has risen?
33310How then can money, or gold and silver, exchange for more corn in rich, than in poor countries?
33310How then can prices be raised by high profits?
33310How would such land, as M. Say describes in the following passage, pay a tax of one- half or three- fourths of its produce?
33310If capital to any extent can be employed by a country, how can it be said to be abundant compared with the extent of employment for it?
33310If it does not raise it in comparison with other commodities, where is the injury to the home consumer, beyond the inconvenience of paying the tax?
33310If the state claim of him the fifth part of his augmented income, will there not remain 4000 francs of increase to stimulate his further exertions?"
33310In what are they essentially different?
33310In what then does the advantage of the stipulation in the treaty consist?
33310Is it ever for any length of time either above or below this price?
33310Is it possible that Mr. Buchanan can seriously assert, that the produce of the land can not be increased, if the demand increases?
33310Of what advantage or disadvantage then is the treaty to either party?
33310Of what benefit would it be to the community?
33310Should this be the case, should the consumption be diminished, will not the supply also speedily be diminished?
33310The pressure of the atmosphere and the elasticity of steam, which enable us to work the most stupendous engines-- are they not the gifts of nature?
33310Thus, when gold is said to be dearer in England than in Spain, if no commodity is mentioned, what notion does the assertion convey?
33310Under such circumstances, could corn rise in exchangeable value with other things?
33310What can value have to do with the power of feeding and clothing?
33310What has happened?
33310What is the consequence?
33310What should we say of an establishment which should regularly supply half the clothiers with their wool under the market price?
33310Who can have any motive to produce it, before any demand exists for an additional quantity?
33310Who is to produce it?
33310Why does another wish to purchase this same land?
33310Why should corn and vegetables alone be excepted?
33310Why should the manufacturer continue in the trade if his profits are below the general level?
33310Would not the abundance of those peculiar products of the earth cause a rise of rent, if the demand for them at the same time increased?
33310[ 33] Is the following quite consistent with M. Say''s principle?
33310[ 41] Are not the following passages contradictory to the one above quoted?
33310[ 53] Of what increased quantity does Mr. Malthus speak?
33310[ 6] Has not M. Say forgotten, in the following passage, that it is the cost of production which ultimately regulates price?
33310and can rent ever rise, whatever the commodity produced may be, from abundance merely, and without an increase of demand?
33310and would not the labourer thus obtain his usual portion?
33310per annum to agriculture, to manufacturers, and to commerce, when a borrower may be found ready to pay an interest of 7 or 8 per cent.?
33310per annum, when another borrower having little credit, would give 7 or 8?"
33310will not its value be increased, in consequence of the rise of labour?
14943And what, for goodness''sake, are you two going to do in_ Persia_?
14943And where, may I ask, are you planning to begin this married career you seem to contemplate?

14943But why?
14943Did you ever know the Government to give you a week''s time to begin?
14943From where, then, can we gain recruits for this minority? 14943 How many of the girls are going together?"
14943How shall I answer Mr.----''s about that job?

14943What did the union stand in the way of? 14943 Where am I to sleep?"
14943Who gets her own way one hundred per cent?

14943After excluding them, what shall we do with them?
14943After greetings, always the question,"How''s my June- Bug?"
14943And I would sigh, and say,"Oh dear, would n''t it?"
14943And does a man go steerage to Europe if he has a lot of money in the bank?"
14943And"Mother, there never really_ was_ such a baby,_ was_ there?"

14943Can you see my father''s face that sunny March day,--Charter Day it was,--when we told him we were engaged?
14943Can you see my father?
14943Could he come over to the house and spend the rest of the afternoon?
14943Could we finance an added year at, perhaps, Wisconsin?
14943Did she marry a soldier, and is she too, perhaps, a widow?
14943Do n''t you know that some man with eloquent tongue, without conscience, who did not care for the nation, could put this whole country into a flame?
14943Do n''t you know that this country, from one end to the other, believes that something is wrong?
14943Fairly early in the conversation he found breath to say,"And what, may I ask, are your prospects?"
14943Friends would ask me:"What is the news from Carl?"
14943He called down gayly,"How do you do, young lady?"
14943He said:"Do you know what I''ve been thinking of so much this morning?
14943He would fix the catch on the front- door lock, then come upstairs, calling out softly,"You awake?"
14943He would say:"I am so tired-- can''t you people come to some agreement, so that I can go home and sleep?"
14943How had we ever managed to pack a year so full, and live to tell the tale?
14943I say so often that I stand right now the richest woman in the world-- why talk of sympathy?
14943I wonder if, in your childhood, some frightening picture in some old book was not the thing that you are still fighting against?

14943If there was to be a rally or a concert, the Senior sitting at the head of the dinner- table would ask,"How many are going to- night with a man?"
14943It used to be that Carl and I, in passing the littlest bit of a hovel, would say,"We could be perfectly happy in a place like that, could n''t we?
14943Just feeling sort of spunky about it-- just wanting to show some one that time is nothing to you-- what''s the hurry?
14943Not only, in whose hands has industrial capitalism for the moment fallen, but in what direction does the evolution of control tend?
14943Of course he saw the war- emergency need of it just then, but what he wanted to work on was, why were mediations ever necessary?
14943Once in a while he''d sigh and say,"A little ranch up on the Clearwater would go pretty well about now, would n''t it, my girl?"
14943That was his great spark, was n''t it?"
14943The Idaho stories he could tell-- oh, why can I not remember them word for word?
14943The impossible person hemmed and stammered:"Why-- er-- when did it arrive?"
14943Then he was full of ideas for a second article he had promised the"Atlantic"--"Is the United States a Nation?"
14943Then he would place his hands on my shoulders, beam all over, eyes twinkling, and say:--"Who''s boss of this household, anyway?"
14943Then, to me,"Are you going with Carl?"

17196Did we ever tell you,writes Wilson,"what Dr. Adam Smith said to Mr. William Adam, the Council M.P., last summer in Scotland?
17196Did you ever hear of such madness and folly as our clergy have lately fallen into? 17196 Well then,"continued Smith,"do you think that was worth printing?"

17196A visitor one day, casting his eye on these books, asked Campbell,"Have you read all these books?"
17196After listening to Smith one evening, the great player turned to a friend and whispered,"What say you to this?

17196Could you promise us recommendations to the Comte d''Eu, to the Archbishop of Narbonne, and to the Intendant?
17196Did Smith graduate?
17196Did he foresee the Revolution?
17196Do not all the old women in the country practise physic without exciting murmur or complaint?

17196Nor apparently had Smith as yet delivered her letter to Garrick, for she asks,"Vous ne l''avez pas encore vu Mr. Smith?

17196Pray what strange accounts are these we hear of Franklyn''s conduct?
17196Shall I go backwards or forwards in my History?
17196The Earl of Buchan, apostrophising Smith, asks,"Oh, venerable and worthy man, why was you not a Christian?"

36345... Have you seen Monsieur Say''s[ Catec]hisme d''Economie Politique?
363451815?_] MY DEAR SIR, I have an account before me of the capital actually employed on a farm of 200 acres in Essex.
36345; tracts on East India College, 125, and see Haileybury; Utilitarian view of his subject, 175; article( by him?)
36345And have I come a bit nearer to this knowledge by admitting that whatever the value may be it will be divided between two persons?
36345And what standard of_ value_ would there then be?
36345And, if they do, why should not money vary as compared with corn and labour by the same law as all other commodities do?
36345Are you not weary?...
36345Besides, what would be the peril in case of war?''
36345But how have the latter their value?
36345But how long will[ people] continue to indulge in luxuries at the expense of a continual diminution of capital?
36345But is not this true also of any variable measure you could fix on?
36345Can you be said to have given a good reason for the selection which you have made of a measure of value when it will not bear close examination?
36345Did you ever believe that I thought fifty oak trees would cost as much labour as the stone wall?
36345Do they so?
36345Do you think I shall have any chance of meeting you there?
36345Does it signify whether it be labour or any other thing, provided there be no reason to suspect that it has altered in value?
36345Granted; but, if it be true, how can your measure measure commodities produced with labour and profits united?
36345Have you not said so?
36345Have you not too uniformly supported the opinion that a fall in the price of corn will occasion a fall in the price of commodities?
36345Have you read the report of the Lord[s''] Committee on the Corn question?
36345Have you seen Torrens''Letter to Lord Liverpool[127]?
36345Have you seen Torrens''letters to the Earl of Lauderdale in the''Sun?''
36345Have you seen the Review of M. Say and myself in the British?
36345How can it be said that the cost of producing hats is reduced by a fall of profits, if a fall of profits must be accompanied by a rise of wages?
36345How can you( he says) determine the quantity and quality of the labour except by the price paid to obtain it?
36345How does that operate on the interests of mankind?
36345I ask why?
36345If I should not be gone, will you do me the favour of dining with me on Friday at Mr. Basevi''s?
36345If a hundred of these persons were to come amongst us with their capital, skill, etc., would not the same consequences follow as I have just stated?
36345If land is less in demand, must not the rent of it fall?
36345If money be a commodity does[_ sic_] not corn and labour enter into its price or value?
36345If so, why should not that commodity vary in reference to corn in the same degree as any home made commodity?
36345If there were no such rise, what could prevent population and capital from increasing without limit?
36345If they act on each other as you think, but to which I do not agree, how can manufactures rise in price with a stationary price of corn?
36345If they must admit the medium to be variable-- and who could deny it?--then what became of the argument?''
36345In saying this do you mean to deny that facility of production will lower natural price, and difficulty of production raise it?
36345In this case I ask you whether corn has fallen in value in the proportion of thirty to twenty- two?
36345In what manner could we have any correct account of the college and its concerns but from an interested party?
36345Is it not true of iron, copper, lead, cloth, corn, etc., etc.?
36345Is not his criticism very much strained as to the use of the word depreciation?
36345Is not this a ridiculous piece of mockery, and an insult to our common sense?
36345Is not this supposing two rates of profit at the same time?
36345Is not this the natural consequence of more capital being employed on manufactures and less on agriculture?
36345Is there any probability of my seeing you at Bath?
36345Might we not by importation appropriate to ourselves a larger proportion of the mass of money distributed amongst all the countries of the world?
36345Now does this positive value refer to the same quantity of wheat?
36345Should there be limitations where an artificial range of prices has been created by continued protection?
36345Should we obtain the same quantity of deals from Norway in exchange for a given quantity of tin as we now do?
36345Such and such evils may exist; but the question is do they exist now?
36345The first point to be considered is, what is the interest of countries in the case supposed?
36345The interest of the community then is what?
36345The second what is their practice?
36345This is incontestable; but what consequence can you draw from it for our practical guidance?
36345To what causes, I mean permanent causes, can these variations be attributed?
36345What can induce him to persevere in representing utility and value as the same thing?
36345What do you think of Mr. Vansittart''s financial talents?
36345What has this to do with demand?
36345What point will next engage your attention?
36345What profits?
36345What then becomes of my sinking fund?
36345What we want to know is what the number of those divisions are, or what the value of the commodity is, whether eight, seven, or six?
36345When will the supply not be affected by the increased or diminished number?
36345Where shall you pass your holidays?
36345Who can say that a plague which should take off half our people would not alter the value of labour?
36345Who could speak of its management, attainments, and discipline, but those who were acquainted with it?
36345Why is it small but because the value of labour is high?
36345Why should he be so fortunate on the first trial?
36345Why?
36345Will Ministers be able to carry the Income Tax[129]?
36345Will it be possible to remain at peace if Bonaparte establishes himself as sovereign of France?
36345Will you not stay with us whilst you are in town?
36345Would the demand compared with the supply of capital be the same in both?
36345You ask:''Would you really say that cloth and muslin were not dear in India where they cost four or five times as much labour as in England?''
36345You now say''where have I made the supposition you impute to me?
36345Yours does; what profits are there in shrimps or in gold picked up by daily labour, on account of the labourer, on the sea- shore?
36345[ At the end is written in pencil in Malthus''s handwriting,''Was any bullion imported from Hamburg in March?'']

42759Can they be justly required to undergo this inconvenience for the benefit of labourers who are already getting the"equitable minimum"?
42759Do the socially produced land values necessarily belong to the producer, society?
42759Does it forbid any attempt by society to limit exceptionally large profit- incomes?
42759Does not private ownership of its very nature demand that increases in the value of the property should go to the owners thereof?
42759Does not the assumption rest upon a misconception of the moral validity of production as a canon of distribution?
42759Does the abstract right of the landless man become a concrete right which is so strong as to justify confiscation?
42759Does the equal right to use the bounty of nature include the right to equal_ shares_ of land, or land values, or land advantages?
42759Does the locomotive engineer produce more than the section hand, the bookkeeper more than the salesman, the ditch digger more than the teamster?

42759Has the man with the life preserver a right to exact such a payment?

42759How can this equivalence be determined and ascertained?

42759How much more than a living wage is due to any or all of the various classes of labourers?
42759How much would this change increase the present rate of land taxes, and decrease existing land values?
42759How or where was this relatively objective value of goods to find concrete expression?
42759How then were they to be justified?
42759How was labour cost to be measured, and the different kinds of labour evaluated?
42759How, then, shall we justify the individual receiver of interest?
42759If all rent be due to the community by the title of social production, why does Henry George defend at such length the title of birthright?
42759If rent- confiscation would benefit a large number of people, why not increase the number by confiscating interest?
42759If so, is such a proceeding socially and morally desirable?
42759If so, what is this principle or formula?
42759If the land belong to the people, why in the name of morality and justice should the people pay its salable value for their own?

42759Is it possible to justify such returns?
42759Is the assumption correct?
42759Is the man who is able and refuses to clothe the naked deserving of any other appellation?
42759Is there a satisfactory justification of interest?
42759Is there no way by which these wastes can be reduced?
42759Is there such a right, and such an obligation?
42759Is this obligation one of charity or one of justice?
42759May a tenant ever retain a part of the rent which the free course of competition would yield to the landowner?
42759May he withhold from the landowner a sufficient portion of the rent to cover the deficit in wages?
42759May it take a larger share without violating justice?
42759May not the burdens and disadvantages of interest be mitigated or minimised?
42759May we take a further step, and assert that private landownership is a natural right of the individual?
42759On what ethical principle can they be thus distributed?
42759On what ground can any person claim or be awarded a larger share than his fellows?
42759On what ground can the community, or any part of it, set up a claim in strict justice to the increased land values?
42759On what ground is it contended that a worker has a right to a decent livelihood, as thus defined, rather than to a bare subsistence?
42759On what moral ground may it be taken by the landowner?
42759On what principles should the surplus be apportioned?
42759Or is it to be understood as requiring that the surplus be divided among the three agents of production?
42759Or, is rendered morally good owing to its effects upon social welfare?
42759Should all or any of the benefits of industrial improvements go to the consumer?
42759Should the surplus in question be discontinued by lowering prices, or should it be continued and distributed among the labourers?

42759Why should not this theory find recognition in productive enterprises conducted by the co- operative stores?
42759Why should the capitalist receive six per cent., rather than two per cent., or sixteen per cent.?
42759Why should the capitalist, who is no more a worker than the landowner, be permitted to extract revenue from his possessions?
42759Why should the locomotive engineer receive more than the trackman?
42759Why then does not the rate of interest fall?
42759Why, then, is it reasonable for the shoemaker to require, why has he a right to require payment for the utilities that he produces?
42759Would capital still have value in a no- interest régime, and if so how would its value be determined?
42759Would it not, however, be unjust to the landowners?
42759Would its suppression be socially beneficial or socially detrimental?
42759Would not this check to the increase of capital cause serious injury to society?
42759Would such a restriction be a violation of the right of private ownership?
42759Would the State be justified in abolishing rent and interest, and thus enabling labour to obtain the whole product?

38439After some conversation, the owner of the snuff- box said,"But may I ask you why you so resolutely refused to be searched?"
38439Ai n''t she got no home neither?"
38439Are you an admirer of Shakespeare?"
38439Are you going back to the theatre?
38439Barry said,''What are you about?''
38439Bland in''The Children of the Wood,''when we squeezed out our shillings apiece to sit three or four times in a season in the one shilling gallery?
38439Bring your beggarly actors into this town to demoralize the people?
38439Burritt?"
38439But if these pictures are now drawn from artist life, what must that life have been fifty or a hundred years ago?
38439Ca n''t she keep yer?
38439Chantrey asked,"Did you see it made?"
38439Could loftiest chivalry show greater heroism, nobler self- control, than this old man-- this weary breaker of flints?
38439Deliciously truthful this, is it not?
38439Do you remember our pleasant walks to Enfield, and Potter''s Bar, and Waltham, when we had a holiday?
38439Do you think he has some very trifling sketch I could buy for that sum?
38439Do_ you_ call this painting, Dalton?
38439For was not Christ Himself Chancellor of the Order, and the Apostles Knight Companions?"
38439Gallet was away, so the poet undertook to serve the lady, saying to her,"Is that all you want?"
38439God forgive us, we are all sinners; and if we weep not for this man''s deficiency, how shall we ask tears when our day comes?
38439Got a penny, or a post- office stamp?
38439Have a glass of sherry?
38439Have a glass of sherry?
38439Have a glass of sherry?"
38439Have you never thought of making an end of this?"
38439Here is a cheque of Gribble and Co. on Lloyd''s for £ 25 10_s._""What''s the use of a cheque at this time of night?"
38439His grey workhouse coat braver than purple and miniver?
38439How can I ever hope to pay you the money back?"
38439How could it have been?
38439How long do you want it for?
38439How long shall you be here?"
38439How?"
38439If respectability wanted to point a moral, is n''t there one here?
38439If you ca n''t afford it, why do you give it?
38439In Heaven''s name, what made the people talk of setting up a statue to Sir William Follet?
38439Is it not the stony heart of the world''s injustice knocked at by poverty?
38439Is not penury to him even as a robe of honour?
38439It was true the materials for the dish were all there, but who was to make the delicacy?
38439Looking at Coleridge, that officer said,--"What''s your name?"
38439Not every leaf made out, hey?--not every blade of grass?
38439On the earl calling out to his assemblage,"Are we all here?"
38439Presently his, on this occasion, not over gracious Majesty peevishly inquired,"What does he ask for this daub?"
38439Run away from home?"
38439Said Piron:"I leave the care of that to la Camarde; but if you please, what do you mean?"
38439Shall he not be of the Order of Poverty?
38439Suppose we dine there?"
38439The interrogatories put to him by the vintner were these,"What is God best pleased with?
38439The offer was gladly accepted, and when the introduction had been managed Holcroft was asked by Macklin"what had put it into his head to turn actor?"
38439The old general stepped forward and said,"Sir, do you mean to insult us because we have drunk your wine?
38439The old man blushed, shook hands, and after conversing for a few minutes, asked them if they would remain to dinner, and partake of his hospitality?
38439The same could not be said of Sheridan unfortunately, whose ingenuity under monetary pressure( and when was n''t he pressed for money?)
38439The wine- merchant, much delighted, proposed running home for it, when Sheridan stopped him with"What do you say to dining with me to- day?
38439Then my nephew''s fee, £ 1 1_s._, and my trouble, say £ 1, £ 42 10_s._ Here''s 15_s._, that''s £ 42 16_s._ Dick, have you got 4_s._?"
38439Think of your Cathedral ground; who lies in it?
38439To which he replied,"What is the use of a child?
38439What does all this mean?"
38439What else?
38439What had he done?
38439What is the Devil best pleased with?
38439What is the World best pleased with?
38439What punishment befell those who were unfortunate among them but that which follows reckless habits and careless lives?
38439What return of gratitude, fame, affection, did it not bring to all?
38439What shall I have to- day?"
38439What shall he do with it?
38439What was to be done?
38439What''s your treasury hour?"
38439When he had finished his breakfast he would say,"Are those doors all shut, John?"
38439Who has insulted you?"
38439Who would live the life of revelry that Sheridan lived to have such an end?
38439Why not finish life at once?
38439Why not pay me?
38439Will you have the kindness to let me see his paces?"
38439Will you hold forth?
38439Wot''s the matter?"
38439Would not Mrs. Sheridan like to have one like it?
38439all this for a song?"
38439and what am I best pleased with?"
38439how d''ye do?
38439if he had studied from the antique and from life?
38439what''s your instrument?"
38439whether he was instructed or self- taught?
41405''Does not this prove that capitalist production creates a surplus product for which there is no room on the internal market?
41405''How can the entire capitalist class accumulate money under such circumstances?
41405''Is n''t there a chance to make a little profit?
41405''Would saving be able to produce this stick?''
41405''[ 173] If this is true, how can there be any accumulation of capital?
41405''[ 190] What would MacCulloch have to advise in view of such an agrarian crisis in Southern Europe?
41405''[ 393] Where could the ruined American farmer turn?
41405( 2) Q.: Where do the capitalists get the money for the realisation of capitalised surplus value?
41405( 3) Q.: How did the money come into the country in the first place?
41405And of what does this surplus- product consist?
41405And of what does this surplus- value consist?
41405And who requires these additional means of production?
41405And why?
41405And why?
41405Aside from this, where does the money come from?
41405But could anyone increase his consumption as rapidly and indefinitely as the progress of labour productivity makes the surplus value increase?
41405But does this diagram show a surplus product to come into being?
41405But how large a family?
41405But if this great public is essentially characterised as consuming the surplus value, whence does it obtain the means to buy?
41405But if we ask:''What are these wages for the workers who have received them?''
41405But now the question arises: who is to get these indigestible items in the course of general distribution?
41405But what about the consumption of society?
41405But what is the position in real life?
41405But what of the remaining surplus value, the part that is accumulated?
41405But who can buy the products incorporating the other, the capitalised part of the surplus value?
41405But who could have bought their surplus product?
41405But who else could provide the demand for the commodities incorporating the capitalised surplus value?
41405Can one actually talk of total social capital of society as an entity, and if so, what is the real meaning of this concept?
41405Could it be that there is too much of one kind of produce and too little of another, as Say and Ricardo would have it?
41405First and foremost where do the B''s get the cash to buy an additional product from the A''s?
41405For whom can it be destined?
41405Has it any real bearing on the problems of actual life?
41405Has not England, by forgetting men for things, sacrificed the end to the means?
41405Have they had any other effect than to make every class partake of care, privation and the danger of complete ruin?
41405He exclaims:''Whose demand?
41405Here we must ask first of all: what is the starting point of accumulation?
41405How can it be assured that every one of these factors increases in the right proportion?
41405How can it be possible under these circumstances to construct anything in the nature of a total capital of society?
41405How can this take place, leaving cycles and crises out of consideration?
41405How can we overcome this blatant contradiction?
41405How could production-- so divided and yet so powerful-- conceivably estimate in good time what will be enough?
41405How could the entrepreneurs of the world recognise the limits beyond which the market would cease to be healthy?
41405How does he himself monetise this surplus- portion of his product?
41405How does this affect the process of reproduction?
41405How is it done?
41405How then is it that capitalist expansion had not yet( in 1912) shown any sign of slackening?
41405How will the material relations of reproduction be adjusted?
41405How, in terms of capitalism, does society create out of its annual labour a_ greater_ amount of capital than it formerly possessed?
41405How, then, could their labour power provide them with a living?
41405I ask: Do the capitalists perhaps give away their products to foreigners for nothing, throw it into the sea, maybe?
41405If Sismondi exclaims in the face of Ricardo''s doctrine:''What, is wealth to be all, and man a mere nothing?
41405If accumulation does take place, demand will absorb output, as the model shows, but what is it that makes accumulation take place?
41405If we ask a capitalist:''What are the wages you pay your workers?''
41405Is it explained just because we can put the mathematical proportions of accumulation on paper?
41405May not this sum suffice to monetise the surplus- value?
41405On this new conception[ of Mac''s] there is a surplus of products, an advantage from labour-- to whom will it accrue?
41405Rodbertus is ready with this answer:''What were the workers to do after their emancipation other than to agree to these regulations?
41405So the surplus product of Departments I and II must be bought-- by whom?
41405The masters or the workers in town or country?
41405The production of what products?
41405The question is: How does he maintain his surplus- value, not, how does he divide the money later after he has secured it?
41405The question still remains: Where does the money come from, which the various B''s( I) withdrew from the circulation and accumulated?
41405This brings us back to the old question: How, and by whom, is the accumulated surplus value to be realised?
41405Ultimately, the exorbitant interest had to be paid somehow, but how-- where were the means to come from?
41405We should not ask, accordingly: Where does the money required for realising the surplus value come from?
41405Well then, who requires these additional consumer goods?
41405Were they simply to grab some of the capital existing in the society for their maintenance?
41405What buyers, then, does he advance for this new luxury production?
41405What does he think about, then?
41405What does this mean?
41405What had provided the capital for these enterprises?
41405What happens to the products of Department II which are then left over?
41405What has gone wrong?
41405What is income, and what is capital?
41405What is it precisely that constitutes this problem of the reproduction of total capital?
41405What is the fruit of this immense accumulation of wealth?
41405What is the nature of the total capital of a society?
41405What kind of people are we thinking of when we speak of an increase in the population?
41405What motive have the capitalists for enlarging their stock of real capital?
41405What will become of the capitalised surplus value?
41405What, then, could the workers have done?
41405What, then, has thrown a spanner into the works, why the crisis?
41405What, then, is this surplus value that it should interest the capitalist for its own sake?
41405Whence the demand for the accumulated surplus value?
41405Where can this additional labour be found?
41405Where does II get the money for this?
41405Where does the additional money come from, by which the additional surplus- value now contained in the form of commodities is to be realised?
41405Where does the demand come from which keeps accumulation going?
41405Where does the money for this purpose come from?
41405Where is this continually increasing demand to come from, which in Marx''s diagram forms the basis of reproduction on an ever rising scale?
41405Where, for instance, are the organisations, the up- to- date statistical bureaux and the like to help them in this task?
41405Where, then, could we find this new capital which may perhaps be much more considerable than that required by agriculture?...
41405Where, then, does the accumulation of wealth make itself felt as a public benefit?
41405Where, then, does the additional money come from?--the £ 100 the capitalists need to realise their own surplus value?
41405Who will buy the commodities in which it is hidden?
41405Who, then, realises the permanently increasing surplus value?
41405Whose satisfaction?
41405Why is this?
41405Why, come to that, does England require an external market?
41405Why?
41405Will the others be able to keep it from them?
41405Will what they want be the grave of modern civilisation?
41405With what object?
41405Yet Bulgakov overlooks the principal problem: who exactly is to profit by an expansion such as that whose mechanism he examines?
41405Yet would it not be very easy to make good this loss in means of production which results from our example?
41405[ 294] But then, is it not beyond any doubt that some such''third persons''exist in every capitalist society?
41405[ 90] Two questions now arise:( 1) by whom should the money be owned, and( 2) how much of it should there be?
41405_ Suum cuique_--had this not been the motto of Rodbertus?
41405accumulate, for whose sake do they produce?
41405and what does he want to exchange his hops for?
41405but: Where are the consumers for this surplus value?
41405can we trace income, wholly or in part, back to the stick as its_ cause_, may we consider it, wholly or in parts, as a_ product_ of the stick?
41405into it?
41405into it?
41405not consumption but capitalisation of part of the surplus value?
41405or, as Marx would have it: Whence the money to pay for the accumulated surplus value?
41405the workers as wages, or the capitalists as profits of enterprise?
41405to expand production, instead of squandering it altogether?
36541But who wantonly destroys it?
36541Et quel est, s''il vous plaà ® t, cet audacieux animal qui se permet d''être bâti au dedans comme une jolie petite fille?
36541Maintain him, how?
36541Nay, but I choose my physician and(?) 36541 Who gave your son these dispositions?"
36541Why could he not plaster the chinks?

36541A certain quantity of able hands and heads being placed at our disposal, what shall we most advisably set them upon?
36541A fine prosperous business that would be, would it not?
36541Admitting that our stars are to be thanked for our safety, whom are we to thank for the danger?
36541Admitting the crosier and emeralds to be useful articles, is the body to be considered as"having"them?
36541And do not you see what a pretty and pleasant come- off there is for most of us, in this spiritual application?
36541And the true home question, to every capitalist and to every nation, is not,"how many ploughs have you?"
36541And what distinction separates them?
36541Are a successful national speculation and a pestilence, economically the same thing?"
36541As, first, to what length of life?
36541But I very seriously inquire why ironware is produce, and silverware is not?
36541But far more than all this, is it a question not of clothes or weapons, but of men?
36541But how will he apply this labour?
36541But is the nobleness consistent with the number?
36541But to what end?
36541But what can be done for them?
36541But what will be its value a hundred years hence?
36541But you do n''t suppose that_ that''s_ goldsmith''s work?
36541But, how of bayonets?
36541Buy in the cheapest market?--yes; but what made your market cheap?
36541Can it be Liberality then?
36541Can you guess what?
36541Can you guess which it is likely to be?
36541Carlyle?)

36541DID''ST NOT THOU AGREE WITH ME FOR A PENNY?
36541Do they, in the politico- economical sense of property, belong to it?
36541Do you mean that the laws of all civilized nations are perfect?
36541Do you suppose any workman worthy the name will put his brains into a cup or an urn, which he knows is to go to the melting pot in half a score years?
36541Do you suppose it is in the long run good for Manchester, or good for England, that the Continent should be in the state it is?
36541Does he consider occupation itself to be an expensive luxury, difficult of attainment, of which too little is to be found in the world?
36541Essential to what degree, Mr. Ricardo?
36541For what noble work was there ever any audible''demand''in that poor sense?"
36541Has he them by inheritance or by education?
36541Has the nation hitherto worked for and gathered the right thing or the wrong?
36541Hast thou found No remedy, my England, for such woes?
36541Have n''t we built a perfectly beautiful gallery for all the pictures we have to take care of?"
36541Have you nothing best, Which generous souls may perfect and present, And He shall thank the givers for?
36541I can not stay now to dispute that, though I would willingly; but do you think it is_ still_ necessary for that development?
36541If the woodman''s axe is productive, is the executioner''s?
36541If you were to embank Lincolnshire now,--more stoutly against the sea?
36541In this definition, is the word"just,"or"legal,"finally to stand?
36541Is it a question of classical dress-- what a tunic was like, or a chlamys, or a peplus?
36541Is it employment that we want to find, or support during employment?
36541Is it idleness we wish to put an end to, or hunger?
36541Is n''t your shilling''s worth the best bargain?
36541Is your courage spent In handwork only?
36541Nature asks of him calmly and inevitably, What have you found, or formed-- the right thing or the wrong?
36541No cure for wicked children?
36541No hope for Rome, free France, chivalric France?
36541No mercy for the slave, America?
36541No outlet, Austria, for the scourged and bound, No call back for the exiled?
36541No pity, O world, no tender utterance Of benediction, and prayers stretched this way For poor Italia, baffled by mischance?

36541Now, as he was sinking-- had he the gold?
36541Or does the mode of distribution in any wise affect the nature of the riches?
36541Or if one or two slave- masters be rich, and the nation be otherwise composed of slaves, is it to be called a rich nation?
36541Or is the soul so much less trustworthy in its instincts than the stomach, that legislation is necessary for the one, but inconvenient to the other?
36541Or, waiving this, is it not indisputable that the claim of the State to the allegiance, involves the protection of the subject?
36541Perfect!--these, with dim eyes and cramped limbs, and slowly wakening minds?
36541Pure!--these, with sensual desire and grovelling thought; foul of body, and coarse of soul?"

36541Sell in the dearest?--yes, truly; but what made your market dear?
36541Shall nothing more be asked of us than that we be honest?"
36541Shall we read them?
36541So that the first question of a good art- economist respecting any work is, Will it lose its flavour by keeping?
36541Suppose it should turn out, finally, that a true government set to true work, instead of being a costly engine, was a paying one?
36541Suppose, instead of this volunteer marching and countermarching, you were to do a little volunteer ploughing and counterploughing?
36541That you might tread upon them, and starve them, and get the better of them in every possible way?
36541The Merchant-- What is_ his_"due occasion"of death?
36541The eliciting of the true definition will give us the reply to our first question,"What is value?"
36541The first question, then, which we have to put under our simple conception of central Government, namely,"What store has it?"
36541The second inquiry, into two: 1. Who are the Holders of the store, and in what proportions?
36541Thus, if the king alone be rich-- suppose Croesus or Mausolus-- are the Lydians and Carians therefore a rich nation?
36541True; but why not also,"feelings of an agreeable kind?"
36541Twenty people can gain money for one who can use it; and the vital question, for individual and for nation, is, never"how much do they make?"
36541We give the crown"ob civem servatum,"--why not"ob civem natum"?
36541Well, supposing them sculptors, will not the same rule hold?
36541Well, then, supposing we wish to employ it, how is it to be best discovered and refined?
36541Well, who made him more persevering or more sagacious than others?
36541Whale?
36541What can he do, but go and lay it on his mother''s grave?
36541What do you suppose fools were made for?
36541What end can there be for them at last, but to consume one another?
36541What is it to him, if the angels of Assisi fade from its vaults, or the queens and kings of Chartres fall from their pedestals?
36541What is its quantity in relation to the currency?
36541What is its quantity in relation to the population?
36541What is the exact degree of goodness which is"essential"to its exchangeable value, but not"the measure"of it?
36541What is the meaning of"useful?"

36541Why are your exteriors of houses so well finished, your furniture so polished and costly, but for other people to see?
36541Why is one man richer than another?
36541Why not, at last, ourselves?
36541Why not?
36541Why speak of these lower services?
36541Will you have Paul Veronese to paint your ceiling, or the plumber from over the way?
36541Would you not at once assert of such a mistress that she knew nothing of her duties?
36541Would you not say that the prudent and kind young lady was, on the whole, answerable for the additional touches of claw on the Vandykes?
36541You will( I hope) finally ask me what is the outcome of all this, practicable, to- morrow morning by us who are sitting here?
36541_ R._--Or that they are perfect at least in their discrimination of what crimes they should deal with, and what crimes they should let alone?

36541holy; without any long robes nor anointing oils; these rough- jacketed, rough- worded persons set to nameless and dishonoured service?
36541is one of equal importance, whatever may be the constitution of the State; while the second question-- namely,"Who are the holders of the store?"
36541no brothel- lure Burnt out by popular lightnings?

36541no repose, Russia, for knouted Poles worked underground, And gentle ladies bleached among the snows?
36541not--"how quickly will this capital reproduce itself?"
36541or had the gold him?
36541or strip the peat of Solway, or plant Plinlimmon moors with larch-- then, in due hour of year, some amateur reaping and threshing?
36541or whitebait?
36541the reader, perhaps, answers amazedly:"pay good and bad workmen alike?"
36541what work construct, protective of life?
36541you will say,"are we not to produce any new art, nor take care of our parish churches?"
36541you will say,"when do we do such things?

12920CHARITY:_ And did you pray to God that He would bless your counsel to them_? 12920 CHARITY:_ And why did you not bring them along with you_?"
12920CHARITY:_ But what could they say for themselves, why they come not_? 12920 Ca n''t I bring you something?"
12920Carmen?
12920Do you grapevine?
12920Er-- going to be in this afternoon?
12920Ever played in hard luck?
12920Fish walk?
12920Going far?
12920Hastings,I said,"do you mind telling me how much it costs you to live like this?"
12920Have you lost money?
12920How do you mean?
12920How far is it to Pleasantdale?
12920How is the Chicopee& Shamrock reorganization coming on?
12920I suppose there are evening trains?
12920I? 12920 Is n''t it wonderful to- day?
12920It''s good to see you, all right-- but why make so much damned fuss about it?
12920Of course you''ll stay to supper?
12920Suppose she does n''t marry though? 12920 What are you asking old Washburn for?"
12920What are you going to make of him?
12920What are you laughing at?
12920What ca n''t go on?
12920What did you mean by that? 12920 What have you got there?"
12920What have you got?
12920What shall we do?
12920What ward?
12920What''s Sylvia going to do?
12920What''s the matter?
12920Where''s Tom?
12920Who shall I say wants to talk?
12920Why must I go to parties?
12920Why not?
12920Why?
12920Would n''t you like your daughter to marry?
12920Ye''ll be after taking my darlin''s away from me?
12920You like the woods?
12920_ Hast thou a Wife and Children_? 12920 _ Then said Charity to Christian: Have you a family?
12920A couple of hundred dollars?
12920A curious thought, is it not?
12920After all, why not take the real thing, such as it is, instead of an imitation?
12920And how far was I typical of a class?
12920And if I am ridiculous, what of her and the other women of her age who, for some unknown reason, fatuously suppose they can renew their lost youth?
12920And shall we say ten dates in American history?
12920And the girls-- why, what do you think would happen to them if you suddenly gave up your place in society?
12920And then-- let me see-- what would I do?
12920And what were we, the crowning achievement of American civilization, like?
12920And what would I surrender?
12920And where do I come in?
12920And who can prophesy the cost of the annual spring jaunt to Europe?
12920And why has he spent this sum of money?
12920Are you a married man_?"
12920Ashamed of it?
12920Better a year of Europe than a cycle of-- shall we say, Narragansett?
12920Brotherly love?
12920But at what cost?
12920But has whatever feeling of obligation I may possess been evidenced in my conduct toward my fellows?
12920But have I ever fully considered that he died for me?
12920But is this"me"limited to my body and my clothes?
12920But suppose the child were a nephew?
12920But what if you were given_ another_ chance to save a life for five hundred dollars?
12920But why should I seek to copy them?
12920Could it be accomplished?
12920Did not my wife scheme and plot for years before she managed to get our names on the sacred list of invitations?
12920Do n''t you feel the same way-- somehow?"
12920Do we honor most the men who truly serve their generation and their country?
12920Do you know any rich woman who would sacrifice her automobile in order to send convalescents to the country?
12920Dress?
12920Farm?
12920Five hundred dollars?
12920For what is its_ raison d''être_?
12920Frankly, would you have parted with five hundred dollars to save that woman''s life?
12920Given away?
12920Had anything happened except that the scenery had gone by?
12920Had it profited anything to me or anybody else?
12920Has not his family the money?
12920Have I been loyal to him?
12920Have I ever even inconvenienced myself for others in any way?
12920Have I ever repaid this debt?
12920Have I in turn advanced the flag that they and hundreds of thousands of others, equally unselfish, carried forward?
12920Have they changed for better or for worse?
12920Have you been entertained?
12920Have you enjoyed yourself?
12920Have you profited?
12920Hence the college boy who has kept straight for eight months in the year is apt to wonder: What is the use?
12920Here was Hastings, jolly as a clam and living like a prince on-- what?
12920How about a mere social acquaintance?
12920How about moral and intellectual suicide?
12920How are you feeling?"
12920How do you know he really has consumption?
12920How does that come out?"
12920How is this possible?
12920How much definite historical information have we, even about matters of genuine importance?
12920Hunt?
12920I drink a cup of coffee or a cocktail: after they are consumed they are part of me; are they not part of me as I hold the cup or the glass in my hand?
12920I put to myself the question:_ Were_ they worth striving for?
12920I wonder if you would n''t like Jim to show you round our place?"
12920I-- successful?
12920Is he a_ good_ boy?
12920Is it for this we labor and worry-- that we scheme and conspire-- that we debase ourselves and lose our self- respect?
12920Is it other than that expressed by my wife on the occasion when our youngest daughter rebelled at having to go to a children''s party?
12920Is my coat more characteristic of me than my house-- my sleeve- links than my wife or my collie dog?
12920Is not my hostess''hoarse, good- natured, rather vulgar voice the clarion of society?
12920Is there any sensible reason why one''s daughter should be encouraged to imitate the dances of the Apache and the negro debauchee?
12920Is there no wine good enough for my host?
12920Is there not some charitable organization that does such things?
12920It looks easy, does it not?
12920Let me take this, will you?"
12920Now why try to talk about Bergson''s theories if you have not the most elementary knowledge of philosophy or metaphysics?
12920Now"I put it to you,"as they say in the English law courts, how much of a personal sacrifice would you have made to prevent this tragedy?
12920Old?
12920Old?
12920On the other hand, how are your children coming on?"
12920Or do we fawn, rather, on those who merely serve themselves?
12920Or have I been content for all these years to reap where I have not sown?
12920Or:"Why do n''t you ask the Peyton- Smiths?
12920Outside of the really poor, is there such a thing as genuine charity among us?
12920Poor old Jane?
12920Read?
12920Shall I help you off with your things?"
12920Shall he pauperize himself just for a cousin?
12920Should I wish my own girls to marry a youth like him?
12920Should a young man be blamed for getting on by the easiest way he can?
12920Succeeded in what?
12920That''s three hundred, is n''t it?
12920The question is: How far have Johnson''s two millions made him a charitable man?
12920Their world is all cakes and ale-- why should they bother as to whether the pothouse beer is bad?
12920Then why blame the individuals?
12920They are setting an example of mere industry, perhaps-- but to what end?
12920They can look through, sort of dimly; but they ca n''t get out?"
12920This cooped- up city life is pretty narrowing, do n''t you think?"
12920To accept, as a matter of course and as my due, the benefits others gave years of labor to secure for me?
12920To produce me?
12920To the German schoolboy, George Washington is almost as familiar a character as Columbus; but how many American children know anything of Bismarck?
12920To what end did they do these things?
12920To what end?
12920Was I not an old man, perhaps, regardless of my youthful face?
12920Was it before or after Christ?
12920Was not this an attitude of age?
12920Was the race profiting me anything?
12920We assume that these men are useful because they are busy; but in what does their usefulness consist?
12920Well, I wanted to be fair and even things up; but, honestly, can you answer correctly five out of these twenty elementary questions?
12920Well, how much would you have done to preserve her life or keep her soul out of hell?
12920What am I-- what have I ever done, now that I come to think of it, to deserve those sacrifices?
12920What are the achievements that win our applause, for which we bestow our decorations in America?
12920What are they busy about?
12920What are they?
12920What are you going to do?
12920What did I have that he had not?
12920What did he mean?
12920What did he mean?
12920What do you say?"
12920What goal or goals had I attained?
12920What have you been working for all these years?
12920What is it now?
12920What shall we do for food?''
12920What sort of an opinion could this honest fellow, my mere employee-- dependent on my favor for his very bread-- have of me, his master?
12920What was the use even of trying?
12920What would I be getting for my money-- even then?
12920What would I have to drink?
12920What would I receive as a_ quid pro quo_ for my thirty thousand dollars?
12920What would be the result should I stop and go with the scenery?
12920What would become of me if I did not look out for my own interests in the same way my associates look out for theirs?
12920What would he say could he see my valet, my butler, my French cook?
12920What would that little East Side Jewess''life have been worth to you?
12920What, then, am I-- who, the Scriptures assert, am made in the image of God?
12920Where is that old brier pipe I keep to go a- fishing?
12920Where is that old smoking- jacket of mine?
12920Who and what is this being that has gradually been evolved during fifty years of life and which I call Myself?
12920Why are_ we_ not more to_ them_?
12920Why do n''t you study law and make some money?
12920Why?
12920Why?
12920Why?
12920Will God let such arrogance be without a blast of fire from heaven?
12920Without them, undoubtedly I should be miserable; but with them-- with reputation, money, comfort, affection-- was I really happy?
12920Would he admire and appreciate my paintings, my_ objets d''art,_ my rugs and tapestries, my rare old furniture?
12920Would he be proud or otherwise--_is_ he proud or otherwise of me, his son?
12920Would n''t you like to make big money?"
12920Yes, what would I choose if I could do anything in the world for the next three hours?
41936How much did the horse cost?
41936( 1) What is human Government?
41936( c)_ What is Value?_ Plainly it is the result of a comparison instituted between two things, using the word,"things,"here in its broadest sense.
4193612. Who pays the INDIRECT TAXES?
41936And are the activities of men everywhere greatly and increasingly occupied with just those things, with which this science has exclusively to do?
41936And what is the influence on the Wages of those whose services are now in lessened Desire along the whole line?
41936And what is the remedy for them?
41936And what is the universal Law of it?
41936And where shall we find the terms for an immutable definition of it?
41936And who is competent to announce the result of it in Value?
41936And who would have to pay the taxes needful for the support of the new_ economical_ bureaus?
41936Any_ tendency_ in the one to bring the other?
41936Are CREDITS a legitimate subject of Taxation?
41936Are these facts easily separable in the mind and in reality from other kinds of facts perhaps liable to be confounded with them?
41936Are they facts of vast importance to the welfare of mankind?
41936Because one thing_ follows_ another in point of time, is that any proof that the second is the_ result_ of the other in point of cause?
41936But are borrowers, as a class, any more deserving of the fostering care of government than are lenders?
41936But can not Congress do something to help rebuild the ruined city?
41936But who institutes the comparison?
41936But why have I before me three possible classes of renderers?
41936Can anybody give a solid reason why they ought not to be so taxed?
41936Can it take the place of money entirely?
41936Can not these limits be overpassed in either direction?
41936Commerce by individuals creates great wealth; why should not the organized commerce of a State make everybody rich?
41936Could this profitable trade be easily increased?
41936Demand increasing, Supply remaining as before, market- rate rises: how far can it rise from this cause?
41936Did this astute objector ever hear of"domestic combination"to keep prices up to the highest possible point?
41936Do we fully understand, from the foregoing descriptions and distinctions, the_ Nature_ of Credit?
41936Does an alleged truth fall in with and fill out well some other demonstrated and accepted proposition, or a number of such other propositions?
41936Does that destroy the motive and the gain of an exchange between the countries in these two articles?
41936Does the former already sell to the latter and through the latter more goods than to all the world besides?
41936Does this look like becoming"_ independent_"of the rest of the world in the matter of woollen clothing for our great People?
41936Has Political Economy anything to say about the RATE of taxes per unit of that which is subject to tax?
41936Have not American protectionists shut out French and German products 100:1 under the same plea now used on the Continent?
41936Have we now compassed our first object?
41936Here and now we are dealing with the simpler concrete question, What is the value of any specific valuable thing?
41936Here the vexed question arises, how far has one generation_ the right_ to throw upon succeeding ones the burdens of a National Debt?
41936How can she sell so much of her own stuff?
41936How do new improvements in machinery and other enhanced facilities of Production in one country affect its foreign trade?
41936How does it read?
41936How does the Diversity of relative Advantage practically work in foreign trade?
41936How does the varying play of International Demand affect the value of articles in foreign trade?
41936How far can this simple action go?
41936How is the whole class of Labor- takers affected by prohibitory tariff- taxes?
41936How long and for what pay do you want to do it?
41936How many loaves shall he give for each?
41936How much Rent shall the tenant pay to the landlord for the present use of the latter''s old lands?
41936How much above?
41936How much did it cost to get ready for grazing the broad pastures?
41936How much does she sell_ per capita_ of her people?
41936How much must he charge for his goods in order to make himself whole?
41936How would any level- headed man, capable of seeing beyond the point of his nose, have prognosticated in the premises?
41936How?
41936If protectionist taxes made the manufacturers rich, why should they not also enrich the rural herdsmen?
41936If the legal rate be six, and the actual worth be eight, who lends at six?
41936If the question be, How much is it worth?
41936If the transfer took place, what was it that was sold?
41936If this were a matter of genuine taxation, ought there not to have been an_ excise_ on the domestic corresponding to the_ impost_ on the foreign?
41936In behalf of what sort of industries are these taxes ostensibly and plausibly levied?
41936In short, why may not such taxes make everybody rich?
41936In what PROPORTION ought the individual citizens to contribute to the fund annually necessary to be raised by Taxation?
41936In what cases may a Government properly step in to regulate or prohibit the buying and selling of its citizens?
41936In what does she pay?
41936Is Great Britain willing to take in goods from the United States?
41936Is capital abundant in England in bulk, and are its loanable rates low?
41936Is it a good thing for the United States, that Great Britain takes in her goods freely?
41936Is it any wonder that unfulfilled promises to pay invariably become less valuable than_ that_ which they promise to pay?
41936Is it the commercial salvation of the United States that Britain is immovably for free trade with her and the rest of the world?
41936Is not sauce for the goose sauce for the gander also?
41936Is she ever flooded with cheap goods?
41936Is speculation proper?
41936Is that market ever slack on the whole?
41936Is the United States willing to take in British goods in pay for her own goods exported thither?
41936Is the principle of"International Copyright,"so- called, correct?
41936Is there a Science by itself, clear and certain, that covers and controls Valuables?_ Here we must go slowly, if we would go surely.
41936Is there anything substantive and continuous in its_ personnel_ and purposes, as there is in the government of God?
41936Is this free trade profitable to Great Britain?
41936Now, cogitates A, what kind of goods from B had we better restrict or prohibit?
41936Now, what can limit the universal market for material products?
41936Now, what is the necessary effect of Protectionism upon the general Demand for Laborers?
41936Of what use is it to go out free and come back manacled?
41936On what industries do the protectionist taxes fall at first to weaken and discourage them?
41936Or can deny to him or them the_ results_ of such efforts, however embodied?
41936Shall I shave myself or go to the barber?
41936Should there be any EXEMPTIONS from Taxation?
41936Suppose the said nation to succeed, what then?
41936The lighter the old coins became, the scarcer became the new ones; for who would pay two ounces of silver when one ounce was legal tender?
41936The preliminary questions are: What sort of facts has Political Economy to deal with, to inquire into, to classify, to make a science of?
41936The question, Can Congress make such notes a legal tender for contracts made_ after_ the passage of the Act?
41936This is not merely the only possible answer to the question,_ What is Value?_ but it is also a perfectly complete and satisfactory answer.
41936To illustrate, How many ships does a commercial nation need to employ?
41936To make accessible the forests that yield the timber?
41936To open up the mines also and bring them into"touch"with the population?
41936To sell surplus stocks abroad for what can be gotten for them, in order to make prices at home up to the usual scarcity point?
41936To shut down mills and factories, to avoid depressing prices?

41936What is it but the old confusion between_ names_ and_ things_?
41936What is it that binds all these persons together?
41936What is that but judicial blindness as to the_ nature_ of Credit?
41936What is that, but the monstrous incongruity that_ a promise_ is the same thing legally as its_ fulfilment_?
41936What is the SOURCE out of which Taxes are actually paid?
41936What is the difference between DIRECT and INDIRECT Taxes?
41936What is the difference between SPECIFIC and ADVALOREM Taxes, and why should the student take careful note of these both singly and combined?

41936What, then, are the onerous elements that enter into the value of land- parcels and constitute their Cost of Production?
41936What, then, are the ultimate elements of Buying and Selling?
41936What, then, is Market- Value returned in the terms of Money?
41936What, then, is the BOTTOM- PRINCIPLE in the Mode of Taxation?
41936When valueless lands are made valuable by human efforts expended to that end, does not the"value"belong to those who made it?
41936Whence are these immense profits to come?
41936Where come in the solitary gifts, that may later be connected with Valuables, on the round earth as God fashioned it?
41936Where even are the unique cases of God- given talent or genius in men themselves, such as may become connected with Valuables of the second class?
41936Where lies in the technical sense the"balance of trade"between Great Britain and the rest of the world?

41936Who ever heard of even one man, who was in possession of all the products of all kinds, that he wanted?
41936Who is sufficient for these things?
41936Who pays the taxes needful for the support of the present_ political_ bureaus?
41936Who wants them?
41936Who would be impoverished?
41936Why not, then, inquires our nationalist innovator, organize new bureaus to undertake in their behalf the buying and selling of the people?
41936Why should more than half the wool needed to clothe the people be taxed in such a way as to double( in general) the cost of the people''s clothing?
