| 32384 | Why does not England enlarge and encourage the commerce of the coast of Guinea? |
| 32384 | Why not encouraged from hence? |
| 32384 | With what an impetuous gust of the fancy did we run into the product of the East Indies for some years ago? |
| 32384 | and that without laws, without teazing the parliament and our sovereign, for what they find difficult enough to effect even by law? |
| 32384 | and what an increase of trade would necessarily attend an increase of people there? |
| 32384 | plant and fortify, and establish such possessions there as other nations, the Portuguese for example, in the opposite coast on the same latitude? |
| 41510 | Am I going to get into the office of every man that I call on, if there is any earthly way to do it? 41510 Am I going to sell every man I call on to- day? |
| 41510 | Am I justified in asking a prospect''s time and attention to present my proposition? 41510 Am I selling the best goods of the kind made anywhere in the world? |
| 41510 | Do not worry about it-- your friends will not care, and your enemies will criticise anyway; so what''s the use? |
| 41510 | Do the men I am going to call on need the article I am selling? 41510 Do they realize that now? |
| 41510 | Has my house the reputation and prestige of being one of the best in its line? 41510 Have we an enormous body of satisfied users? |
| 41510 | Have we made hundreds of thousands of sales like the sales I am going to make to- day? 41510 How are you able to weep at will?" |
| 41510 | Is that the very reason I am going to call on them-- because at present they do n''t want my goods, and have n''t yet bought them? 41510 Is the price I am asking a fair one? |
| 41510 | ;"or,"This is quite an improvement, is n''t it?" |
| 41510 | As, for instance:"That is a nice day, is n''t it;"or,"This is a beautiful shade of pink, is n''t it? |
| 41510 | Did you ever hear of, or see, the Gyroscope? |
| 41510 | Did you ever notice how eagerly people relate the slip- up or stumble of those whom they have been praising? |
| 41510 | Did you never have your imagination and desire fired by the description of a thing-- didn''t you want to see, feel, or taste it yourself? |
| 41510 | Did you never_ feel_ the effect of words like:"delicious; fragrant; luscious; sweet; mild; invigorating; bracing,"etc., in an advertisement? |
| 41510 | Do you see the difference? |
| 41510 | Does yer wanter make me fall clean offen dis yer mewel?" |
| 41510 | His catechism ran somewhat as follows:"Am I working for a good house? |
| 41510 | If it is"higher"why is it a fact that the lower races and individuals manifest it to a greater extent than the higher ones? |
| 41510 | If possible, avoid asking for"the proprietor,"or inquiring of a man,"are you the proprietor?" |
| 41510 | If you want a touchstone upon which to test manner and action, take this:"Is this the act of a gentleman?" |
| 41510 | Is it not worth learning? |
| 41510 | It is akin to the doleful"You do n''t want to buy any matches, sir, do you?" |
| 41510 | It is almost as bad as that stock illustration of adverse suggestion:"You do n''t want to buy any so- and- so, do you mister?" |
| 41510 | Johnson?'' |
| 41510 | Mill says:"Now what is an action? |
| 41510 | Never commit the folly of asking a prospect:"Are you busy?" |
| 41510 | Never say:"Wo n''t you buy?" |
| 41510 | Now how do we_ ever_ get up under such circumstances? |
| 41510 | Now how much money do you think is in this drawer?" |
| 41510 | Others proceed, calmly, like this:"Let''s see, Mr. Blank, what is your shipping address( or street number)?" |
| 41510 | Remember the horrible example of"You do n''t want to buy anything to- day, do you?" |
| 41510 | Should not the salesman possess the same kind of knowledge of his instrument as does the musician, the mechanic, the artisan, the artist? |
| 41510 | The question no longer is:"Is not this a good thing?" |
| 41510 | Then comes the deciding point:"Is not my stomach more to me than my back? |
| 41510 | What makes you finally get out of bed in the morning, after having"decided to"several times without resulting action? |
| 41510 | What other mental process interferes? |
| 41510 | What would be thought of a teacher of natural history who did not understand animals? |
| 41510 | Why is this? |
| 41510 | Why? |
| 41510 | Why? |
| 41510 | Why? |
| 41510 | You have got to make the plunge, and take the risk of"the proposal"some time-- why not now? |
| 41510 | Z?" |
| 41510 | or"Ca n''t I sell you?" |
| 41510 | or,"I fear you are busy, sir?" |
| 41510 | to that of"Should you not have it for your own?" |
| 44144 | ''What,''said they,''dares M. Bastiat say that Communism is not dangerous? |
| 44144 | Abundance, it is true, will reign all round you, but will you share in it? |
| 44144 | After all, what is the position of the question? |
| 44144 | And first, What is to be understood by Communism? |
| 44144 | And then, sir, can so clear a mind as yours admit the hypothesis of a fundamental antagonism between what is useful and what is just? |
| 44144 | And why has the state no right to_ equalize_ or apportion worldly wealth? |
| 44144 | And why not, I would ask? |
| 44144 | But notwithstanding this, what do we see? |
| 44144 | But on what principle should he aid the miner in his injustice? |
| 44144 | But to what purpose is it to insist upon these general ideas? |
| 44144 | But what matters it what I may have said or thought at other times? |
| 44144 | By what chance does it happen that your scruples stop short at the point they do? |
| 44144 | Can you guess their reply? |
| 44144 | Do not, then, inveigh so much against a motive, which governs you as it governs other men? |
| 44144 | Do the mass of the public approve of it?--do they compel this species of action? |
| 44144 | Do you know why? |
| 44144 | Do you wish for a palpable proof of this? |
| 44144 | Do you wish to leave this dull algebra? |
| 44144 | Does it act in consequence of this belief? |
| 44144 | Does it believe itself authorized to_ take_ and to_ give_ without compensation? |
| 44144 | Does it believe that its province is to regulate profits? |
| 44144 | He does not assume the ridiculous position of the champion of property, at the very moment of violating it; but how does he justify himself? |
| 44144 | Here are his words:--''Look at our custom- house tariff? |
| 44144 | I ask you, would not this be the height of oppression, a flagrant violation of all liberty, of the first and the most sacred principles of property? |
| 44144 | In short, which side to espouse-- what part to take in such an alternative? |
| 44144 | Is it not evident that the interest of commerce is made secondary to the interest of society generally? |
| 44144 | Is not this an act of Communism, and if made general, would it not constitute the system of Communism? |
| 44144 | Shall I speak frankly? |
| 44144 | They have said, like M. Billault, since property has been violated by Protection, why should it not be by the right of labour? |
| 44144 | What are the things which individuals ought to entrust to the Supreme Power? |
| 44144 | What disorder, what confusion in facts; but what can you expect when there is such disorder and confusion in ideas? |
| 44144 | What do we say, and what do you say? |
| 44144 | What is the province of the state? |
| 44144 | What matters it that I have perceived, or thought that I have perceived, a certain connexion between Protection and Communism? |
| 44144 | Where, then, in this instance, is the profit to counterbalance the above- mentioned loss? |
| 44144 | Which are those which they ought to reserve for private enterprise? |
| 44144 | Who can say that they will not take it into their heads to give you their produce for nothing? |
| 44144 | Why has the state the right to secure, even by force, every man''s property? |
| 44144 | Why? |
| 47148 | Am I a genius? |

| 47148 | How old is the child? |

| 47148 | What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
| 47148 | When shall I begin to train my child? |
| 47148 | A sorry picture, is n''t it? |
| 47148 | All such reasoning is very, very foolish, is n''t it? |
| 47148 | And can we all be geniuses? |
| 47148 | And what does it profit him if he shall become a multi- millionaire and lose his health of mind or body? |
| 47148 | And what is a wasted hour? |
| 47148 | And why not? |
| 47148 | And you know one of them, I guess, because I see you smile; And is he little Johnnie"Now"or Jimmie"Waitawhile"? |

| 47148 | Could you, If you could n''t determine you''d try? |
| 47148 | Do we not mark in a book passages which seem to have a direct reference to ourselves? |
| 47148 | Do you like the boy who in a game of ball is whining all the time because he can not be constantly at the bat? |
| 47148 | Does the mother, or father, or sister, or brother, who knows you best, hold you in the highest esteem? |
| 47148 | Has it ever occurred to you that the world entertains the same thought regarding yourself? |
| 47148 | Have n''t you the time? |
| 47148 | Have you a cheerful member in your circle of friends, a cheerful neighbor in the vicinity of your home? |
| 47148 | Have you already won the admiration of that little, all- important world that now lies just about you? |
| 47148 | Have you patience and determination? |

| 47148 | If you just get a chance? |
| 47148 | Is it to be a good, firm, durable foundation that will stand through all the years to come? |
| 47148 | Is n''t it the disposition to make the most of your opportunities that is lacking? |
| 47148 | Is n''t the real manly boy the one who can lose cheerfully when he has played the game the best he possibly could and has been honestly defeated? |
| 47148 | Now that you have asked the question, why not carefully think it over and determine what the answer should be? |

| 47148 | [ Illustration: PATRICK HENRY DELIVERING HIS CELEBRATED SPEECH] CHAPTER II"AM I A GENIUS?" |
| 47148 | [ Sidenote: Dost thou love life? |
| 47148 | [ Sidenote: Impossible? |
| 47148 | [ Sidenote: My young friend, do you know that there is but one person who can recommend you? |
| 47148 | [ Sidenote: The artist who can realize his ideal has missed the true gain of art, as"a man''s reach should exceed his grasp, or what''s heaven for?" |
| 47148 | [ Sidenote: What is a gentleman? |
| 14589 | If we''re so rotten as all that,he snarled,"how could we make money and pay dividends? |
| 14589 | *****[ Sidenote: Why Are Some Men Failures Who Deserve to Succeed?] |
| 14589 | Answer for yourself such questions as,"Exactly what effect will this particular word, or tone, or act have-- and just why?" |
| 14589 | Are you not able to look broadly, instead of narrowly at life? |
| 14589 | Ask him,"When shall I start work?" |
| 14589 | But have you appreciated how surely desire is killed by_ negative_ suggestions? |
| 14589 | But have you developed_ all your ability_ to smile genuinely? |
| 14589 | But need you lose the sense of sight before you can comprehend the lesson of his example to you? |
| 14589 | But you question,"Can I be_ sure_ of becoming a skillful salesman of myself?" |
| 14589 | CHAPTER V_ Your Prospects_[ Sidenote: Meaning of"Prospects"] If you were to be asked,"What are your prospects for success?" |
| 14589 | Can not_ you_, then, certainly develop and_ use_ to a much higher degree of_ activity_ and_ quality_ the MAN characteristics you now possess? |
| 14589 | Can you imagine a man of such sales ability failing to get a chance almost anywhere? |
| 14589 | Could there be a greater failure in salesmanship than learning about a big contract to be let, and being unprepared to bid on it? |
| 14589 | Do you know exactly what he did? |
| 14589 | Do you perform friendly acts of consideration for others on_ every_ occasion, as second nature? |
| 14589 | Does this seem like a long list of difficult accomplishments? |
| 14589 | For instance, how do you prefer to have your mail brought to you-- just as it is opened, or with previous correspondence and notations attached?" |
| 14589 | Has success gone to your_ hands_ and made them tingle with eagerness to grasp more chances to succeed, or has it gone to your_ head_? |
| 14589 | Have you cultivated the hearty tone of real kindness so that now it is_ unnatural_ for you ever to speak in any other way? |
| 14589 | Have you realized how your present fund of information was accumulated? |
| 14589 | Have you tried his method of development? |
| 14589 | He has been"going strong"until now; why should he weaken at the finish? |
| 14589 | He impelled her to this affirmative action by suggesting,"Would you like to have a little extra suet wrapped up with it?" |
| 14589 | He"ate up"the minor work assigned to him, and celebrated the completion of each task by asking at once,"What next?" |
| 14589 | How can you impel him to think as you wish? |
| 14589 | If it is known, why should it be proved? |
| 14589 | If you are little and self- centered, how can you reach into the mind and heart and soul of another man who is genuinely BIG? |
| 14589 | If you are tempted to pause where you are in order to celebrate, ask yourself,"_ Is this really the celebration stage_?" |
| 14589 | If you were a juror, would you vote for a verdict in favor of the side so summed up? |
| 14589 | Is it any wonder that such a close takes away any appetite the prospect may have had? |
| 14589 | Is there any good reason why_ you_ can not employ similar methods to gain the chance you want? |
| 14589 | Shall I report to the superintendent, or will you start me yourself?" |
| 14589 | The butcher might have been answered with"No"if he had asked,"Will you take this steak?" |
| 14589 | Unrebuffed, he came back with,"Eventually, why not now?" |
| 14589 | What chance to gain the desired opportunity for service does each candidate have in such an uncontrolled process of getting a job? |
| 14589 | What is the reason for his general popularity? |
| 14589 | What is your size as a sales_ man_ now? |
| 14589 | Whom do we like? |
| 14589 | Why should he doubt his complete selling power? |
| 14589 | Why should he doubt that he will succeed? |
| 14589 | Why should you not have a feeling of ease when you reach the close? |
| 14589 | Would he stop putting a few dollars in the bank every Saturday, just because he already had a hundred? |
| 14589 | Would he then say to himself,"I am now successful as a saver"? |
| 14589 | Would you like to have a little extra suet wrapped up with it?" |
| 14589 | Yet your outer garb is much less important to the success of your salesmanship than is your_ clothing of manhood._[ Sidenote: What is Your Man Power?] |
| 14589 | [ Sidenote: A New Idea Of Security]"Do n''t you believe that my squareness, guided by your advice, would secure you? |
| 14589 | [ Sidenote: Ford and Schwab] Why has Henry Ford won so unique a place in the personal regard of the everyday man? |
| 14589 | [ Sidenote: Growth Can Be Assured And Success Made Certain] Can you become a big sales MAN? |

| 14589 | [ Sidenote: What and Whom We Like] What do we like? |
| 42241 | 2, or no contract at all? |
| 42241 | ACTS OF BANKRUPTCY-- FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES.--Now what are the acts of bankruptcy which render a debtor liable to a petition by his creditors? |
| 42241 | AGENT''S RIGHT TO COMPENSATION.--What are the rights of the agent against the principal? |
| 42241 | Am I liable? |
| 42241 | Am I responsible? |
| 42241 | And what is the difference between that case and the cashier case? |
| 42241 | Are they insured? |
| 42241 | But, you say, why can not the parties avoid all this difficulty by making a written agreement clearing up the entire matter? |
| 42241 | CONSIGNMENT.--How does a consignment differ from a conditional sale? |
| 42241 | Can the employer discharge him? |
| 42241 | Could not, therefore, the court take this principle of the common law as to the ownership of land and apply it to the airplane case? |
| 42241 | Could the former take that for the$ 100 bill? |
| 42241 | Could they sue him for a breach of contract in the New York court? |
| 42241 | DEATH OF DEPOSITOR.--The question often arises: What is the situation on the death of the owner or renter of a safe? |
| 42241 | DEFINITION OF CONTRACTS.--What is a contract? |
| 42241 | Do they have power to sell? |
| 42241 | Does the contract then become binding, irrespective of receipt of the letter? |
| 42241 | Does this mean that the airplane factory must move, and probably be subjected to the same annoyances in its new location in a short time? |
| 42241 | EFFECT OF TRANSFER ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY.--What is the effect of transfer on the books of the company? |
| 42241 | For example, what effect would the death of either party have on the contract? |
| 42241 | Has John a cause of action against the banking house? |
| 42241 | Has he cause of action for fraud? |
| 42241 | Has he made a contract to sell that article to the highest bidder? |
| 42241 | Has the employee a right to say,"You pay my salary on the first day of the month as you agreed, or I leave"? |
| 42241 | IMPLIED WARRANTY WHERE THE SELLER IS A MANUFACTURER.--What was the nature of the seller''s business? |
| 42241 | INSPECTION AS AFFECTING IMPLIED WARRANTY.--Was the defect open to inspection and was there opportunity to inspect the goods? |
| 42241 | If this is true, why should not the State insure the title? |
| 42241 | Is Lord& Taylor liable to the pedestrian? |
| 42241 | Is forbearance of that claim by A good consideration for B''s promise? |
| 42241 | Is it so in law? |
| 42241 | Is the auctioneer liable? |
| 42241 | Is the buyer bound to take without objection that specific lot, whether or not it turns out to be merchantable? |
| 42241 | Is the carrier liable here? |
| 42241 | Is the master liable? |
| 42241 | Is the person who receives it bound to pay another year''s subscription? |
| 42241 | Is the principal liable to the persons who last sold books to the dealer? |
| 42241 | Is the town liable to the second bank? |
| 42241 | Is there a contract? |
| 42241 | Is this transaction to be governed by the law of Indiana or of New York? |
| 42241 | It is an"accident,"and clearly it arose"during the course of"employment, but did it arise"out of"his employment? |
| 42241 | John says,"Why should I work first and trust you for pay, rather than you pay first and trust me for the work? |
| 42241 | LIABILITY OF AGENT TO THIRD PERSONS.--How about the rights and duties of the agent as against the outside world? |
| 42241 | MISSTATEMENTS OF OPINION ARE NOT FRAUDULENT.--Now what kind of misrepresentation amounts to fraud? |
| 42241 | May he dispose of the land to another a few minutes after the time specified in the option for the acceptance of the offer? |
| 42241 | May he do so? |
| 42241 | May he recover from his master? |
| 42241 | May the seller say,"You looked at what we had in stock and this is the machine you agreed to buy"? |
| 42241 | May they, too, be taken from the direction of their owners and disposed of by the Government? |
| 42241 | Miscellaneous 425 WHO IS A BANKER? |
| 42241 | Now is there any action against the owner, or might he justly refuse to go on with the contract because of the momentary breach of contract? |
| 42241 | Now suppose neither party does anything, has each party broken his promise? |
| 42241 | Now, in what cases does the law regard these transactions as gambling and, therefore unenforceable, and in what cases are they legal? |
| 42241 | PROPERTY WHICH THE TRUSTEE GETS.--The question may be asked:"What property does the trustee get?" |
| 42241 | REMEDIES FOR FRAUD.--What remedy has the defrauded person? |
| 42241 | Shall the New Jersey court enforce the contract which the parties made in New York but which they could not have made in New Jersey? |
| 42241 | Should the mere fact of the relationship of husband and wife make me liable on the theory of master and servant? |
| 42241 | Should you then conclude that you have no rights, that the law can not help you? |
| 42241 | So the law of contracts in their formation resolves itself into this: What promises are binding? |
| 42241 | THE SOURCE OF LAW.--Where does this rule of civil conduct we are to study come from? |
| 42241 | THEIR POWERS.--What powers do these persons have? |
| 42241 | The first question a lawyer always asks is,"Did the deceased die testate or intestate?" |
| 42241 | The first question is, who is an agent and who is a principal? |
| 42241 | The question arises then: What have we? |
| 42241 | The question arises: What is the master''s responsibility? |
| 42241 | The question in its simplest form is this: If Smith and Jones make a contract for the benefit of Greene, may Greene sue on that contract? |
| 42241 | The question is, are you liable on such a document? |
| 42241 | The question is, does he express assent? |
| 42241 | The question may also be asked: How does a power of attorney, when given under seal, compare with one without a seal? |
| 42241 | The question may be asked: Would there be any right of action against the telegraph company by the offerer, the sender of the telegram? |
| 42241 | Was he a manufacturer of the goods in question? |
| 42241 | What are our reasons for creating the indenture? |
| 42241 | What can he do? |
| 42241 | What can the leather manufacturer do about it? |
| 42241 | What is the effect of giving a certificate without either of these formalities? |
| 42241 | What is the rule to be applied to answer such questions? |
| 42241 | What is the rule, then, to determine the distinction between these three persons? |
| 42241 | What risk does the bank run if it allows him to have possession of the bill of lading indorsed in blank? |
| 42241 | When do third persons get rights against the principal? |
| 42241 | When the transaction is analyzed, is this what the auctioneer says in effect:"I offer to sell these goods to the highest bidder?" |
| 42241 | Where must the seller deliver possession? |
| 42241 | Why is it not possible to go to the sources which we have been discussing and from them ascertain definitely what the law is in a given case? |
| 42241 | Why, it may be asked, does a buyer enter into a conditional sale, which is rather a poor bargain as far as he is concerned? |
| 42241 | Will you let me off for$ 50?" |
| 42241 | Would an endorser who had waived demand and notice be liable for six years more? |
| 20531 | Well, why will you not fulfil your promise? |

| 39761 | ''Oh come, now, you do n''t mean to let on you like it?'' 39761 ''Why, ai n''t that work?'' |
| 39761 | All right,objected the managing editor,"suppose someone asks for all the data we have on railroads?" |
| 39761 | But, madam,he protested,"do n''t you remember I warned you that you needed a 5- 1/2? |
| 39761 | Do you get the picture? 39761 How does it affect my readers? |
| 39761 | How much space is needed? |
| 39761 | It may make a good flour and the bread made from it may be good for the digestion,said he,"but will the bread taste as good?" |
| 39761 | Then why not a fifth floor? |
| 39761 | Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and said:''What do you call work?'' 39761 What did this analysis show me? |
| 39761 | What''s holding this up? |
| 39761 | What''s the right way to file these letters and papers and data so I can find them quickly? |
| 39761 | What''s this new building for? |
| 39761 | Who sold them? |
| 39761 | Why file at all, except to make it easy to find what we file? 39761 Why the Sam Hill do we have typists and stenographers?" |
| 39761 | Why,asked the file clerk, looking back at her analysis,"why care how things are_ kept_ so long as they can be_ found_ quickly? |
| 39761 | Why,she asked herself,"do I file these old papers anyway?" |
| 39761 | You score honors above the line, do n''t you? 39761 ***** Remember the production manager in the shoe factory? 39761 ***** Where is this DIVIDING LINE? 39761 A job? 39761 After all, is n''t that precisely what you do in planning any part of your business? 39761 And did orders get out? 39761 And do n''t you remember that I also suggested an A instead of a double A? 39761 And it does n''t mean a thing? 39761 And need we look for further proof of our postulate that TO BE FAIR, YOU MUST TREAT ALL YOUR ASSISTANTS DIFFERENTLY? 39761 And the manager lost his temper:What''s the matter with this cursed letter- writing business?" |
| 39761 | And what job, big or small, does not involve MANAGING? |
| 39761 | And when you felt certain you wanted the 5AA, did n''t I suggest that you try them again at home before having the cut- steel buckles sewn on?" |
| 39761 | As long as a bigger building was to be built, why not make it big enough? |
| 39761 | Ask yourself each time this simple question: What does your"helper"want? |
| 39761 | Besides, is there a better way to keep one''s finger on the pulse of the business than to know what''s in the mail? |
| 39761 | Besides, since it was necessary to turn on all the lights on the floor, why not get the full benefit from them by having the entire gang at work? |
| 39761 | But human nature? |
| 39761 | But is it that? |
| 39761 | But let''s not try to improve the original:"He took up his brush and went tranquilly to work...."Ben said:''Hello, old chap, you got to work, hey?'' |
| 39761 | But of course you''d ruther_ work_--wouldn''t you? |
| 39761 | But were n''t they"sisters under the skin"? |
| 39761 | But why go into that? |
| 39761 | But why go into that? |
| 39761 | But why report the conversation? |
| 39761 | Ca n''t you ship March 15 instead of April 1? |
| 39761 | Can a man with real work to do, spend his time plotting curves and making pie charts? |
| 39761 | Can your truckers live in the style to which they are accustomed on$ 4.50 a day? |
| 39761 | Did n''t get the buttons he ordered? |
| 39761 | Did, then, the messenger boy work out his plan in accordance with our FOUR BASIC ELEMENTS? |
| 39761 | Do n''t you see, to grasp the real KNACK OF HANDLING"HELP,"the necessity for making what you want from them balance with what they want from you? |
| 39761 | Do n''t you wish you could? |
| 39761 | Do you get it?" |
| 39761 | Do you not see the"balance"of interests? |
| 39761 | Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?'' |
| 39761 | Does it require a stop watch to point out the saving in time that you''ve made? |
| 39761 | Does n''t it all boil down to something like the Colonel''s lady and Judy O''Grady? |
| 39761 | Does the Knack of Managing depend upon a man''s ability to draw pictures? |
| 39761 | Does your stenographer want to leave promptly at five so she can get ready for an evening of whoopee? |
| 39761 | For example---- Did you ever hear of a sales organization that did n''t have a stenographic problem? |
| 39761 | For one thing and for instance:_ Is_ the customer always right? |
| 39761 | Hello, what was this? |
| 39761 | Henry? |
| 39761 | How come? |
| 39761 | How is a manager to know when he shall devote his entire attention to settling wage rates, and when listen to the maintenance man''s song? |
| 39761 | How shall we know where to DEPUTIZE and when to PERFORM? |
| 39761 | How, on the other hand, are you to know when to lay off such tasks? |
| 39761 | III Organizing the Work Remember Psmith and Pbrown? |
| 39761 | If it were n''t, why have a credit man at all? |
| 39761 | Is there not in this very unimportant transaction the BALANCE OF INTERESTS suggested by our little chart? |
| 39761 | Looked at in this light, is it not logical that any complaint-- no matter how trifling its nature-- should have his prompt, personal attention? |
| 39761 | Mix"railroads"with"public service,"and"manufacturing"with"agriculture"? |
| 39761 | Now do n''t you see how I''m fixed? |
| 39761 | Now, then, scratch the surface and what do you find? |
| 39761 | Oh, heck, need I go on?" |
| 39761 | On paper? |
| 39761 | Or does she have to catch a particular train in order not to find a cold supper waiting for her at home? |
| 39761 | Or had we better make it three?" |
| 39761 | Or shall he hire someone else to do it for him? |
| 39761 | Or will$ 5.50 enable them to put away a bit for a rainy season? |
| 39761 | Remember his description of Tom Sawyer''s whitewashing the fence? |
| 39761 | Remember how the treasurer classified the character of the work to be done? |
| 39761 | See what happened to production? |
| 39761 | Shall he do the work himself? |
| 39761 | Simple, is n''t it? |
| 39761 | Sounds like a case of knowing the foibles of the person involved, does n''t it? |
| 39761 | Such a chart might not help an old, experienced hand, but would it not help a beginner to get a grip on what his job is all about? |
| 39761 | THEY FIT, do n''t they? |
| 39761 | THIRD-- shall he walk or shall he ride? |
| 39761 | Then how do you account for this? |
| 39761 | Then why not arrange a wage payment method which will help them to do it? |
| 39761 | Then why not fix things so she can work during the hours she is paid to work-- and so she can leave at the hour when pay stops? |
| 39761 | Well, why? |
| 39761 | What am I in this business for?" |
| 39761 | What determines whether his work is worth doing, or whether it''s worthless? |
| 39761 | What do you find? |
| 39761 | What is the"vital element"in his work? |
| 39761 | What kind of work shall we turn over to subordinates? |
| 39761 | What shall we reserve for ourselves? |
| 39761 | What''s a rule for, anyway, except to break? |
| 39761 | What''s the result? |
| 39761 | What''s this? |
| 39761 | Where are my shoes? |
| 39761 | Who are your"readers"? |
| 39761 | Why could n''t the credit man give them a ruling before they attempted to close a sale? |
| 39761 | Why do n''t we get paid extra for_ all_ the moves we make over 30?" |
| 39761 | Why not another full story instead of a basement? |
| 39761 | Why not, indeed? |
| 39761 | Why not, thought he, a line of toys which would enable him to utilize his present production set- up profitably during the slack summer and fall? |
| 39761 | Why not? |
| 39761 | Why not? |
| 39761 | Why should n''t she act like one? |
| 39761 | Why, then, did A. and B. rate such good service while their fellow knights of the road got none? |
| 39761 | Why? |
| 39761 | Will the job of managing vary a jot-- or even a tittle? |
| 39761 | Will two be enough? |
| 39761 | Wo n''t it be necessary to go through exactly the same motions? |
| 39761 | Would it not enable him to see his job from the angle of CONSERVING THE BUSINESS? |
| 39761 | You see? |
| 39761 | _ Find out exactly what has to be done before you make a single move._ You''ve heard that before? |
| 39761 | does he care, if he gets it right away, whether it was filed next to data on''Coal''or beside facts about other railroads?" |
| 16106 | Suppose it does,say the two sophists;"is it not better to expose ourselves to the chance of an eventual_ invasion_, than to accept a certain one?" |
| 16106 | We come now to offer you an admirable opportunity for the application of your-- what shall we say? 16106 What shall be done, then, in an agricultural and manufacturing country?" |
| 16106 | What shall we do in case of war,say they,"if we have placed ourselves at the mercy of Great Britain for iron and coal?" |
| 16106 | Again, it will be objected, if we accustom ourselves to depend upon England for iron, what shall we do in case of a war with that country? |
| 16106 | And I now ask, of what benefit, under these circumstances, is the railway? |
| 16106 | And why all this? |
| 16106 | And why does not the fertility of one department paralyze the agriculture of a neighboring and less favored one? |
| 16106 | And why should nations impose such a restraint upon themselves? |
| 16106 | And why? |
| 16106 | And why? |
| 16106 | And yet it is wrong? |
| 16106 | Are you ill? |
| 16106 | But a bag of wheat, an ingot of iron, a quintal of coal-- are they the produce of labor? |
| 16106 | But by what do we measure our well- being? |
| 16106 | But how? |
| 16106 | But in what is this manifested? |
| 16106 | But is it necessary to take up seriously such abuses of language? |
| 16106 | But what are humors? |
| 16106 | But when you put a principle in antagonism with ours, do you, by chance, fancy that you have formed no_ theory_? |
| 16106 | But which? |
| 16106 | But who reaps the advantage of this liberality of Nature? |
| 16106 | But why is this; why should men be so blind as to maintain that scarcity is better than plenty? |
| 16106 | But, gentlemen, do you believe that merchants''books are good in practice? |
| 16106 | By our riches? |
| 16106 | By the result of our effort, or by the effort itself? |
| 16106 | Can such a question be asked? |
| 16106 | Can we explain how such a system could be reconciled with the ever- increasing prosperity of nations? |
| 16106 | Can we hesitate to say? |
| 16106 | Could we not have attained the same end by lowering the tariff to five dollars? |
| 16106 | DOES PROTECTION RAISE THE RATE OF WAGES? |
| 16106 | Did he create the laws of gravitation, of correlation of forces, of affinities?" |
| 16106 | Did not Nature create them?" |
| 16106 | Did the Confederates in the late war lack for iron? |
| 16106 | Do we attack their principles? |
| 16106 | Do we not hear it complained every day: Our importations are too large; We are buying too much from abroad? |
| 16106 | Do we prove our doctrine? |
| 16106 | Do we wish to decide a question in chemistry or geometry? |
| 16106 | Do you give up the pen for the brush in order to avoid paying tribute to the shoe- black? |
| 16106 | Do you know how they get rid of it? |
| 16106 | Does Protection raise the Rate of Wages? |
| 16106 | Does he not avail himself of the weight of the atmosphere in aid of the steam- engine, as I avail myself of its humidity in aid of the plough? |
| 16106 | Does not the manufacturer, too, rely upon Nature to second him? |
| 16106 | Does not the whole economy of society depend on the separation of occupations, on the division of labor; in one word, on_ exchange_? |
| 16106 | Does not your housekeeper cease making bread at home so soon as she finds it more economical to buy it from the baker? |
| 16106 | Does progress consist in the relative increase of the second or of the first term of this proportion-- between effort or result? |
| 16106 | Does the farmer make his clothes? |
| 16106 | Does the tailor raise the wheat which he consumes? |
| 16106 | Firstly, this is impossible; and, again, were it possible, how could such a system give relief? |
| 16106 | For the good of whom? |
| 16106 | Has it ever been pretended, is it possible to maintain, that scarcity is better than plenty? |
| 16106 | Has it fallen from the moon? |
| 16106 | Has not Congress passed laws which prohibit the importation of foreign productions by the maintenance of excessive duties? |
| 16106 | Have I not a right to look upon your argument as a mere pretext? |
| 16106 | He throws it into the widest national circulation he can find for it, and receives in exchange, what? |
| 16106 | How could He will that they may remove war and injustice only by renouncing their own well- being?" |
| 16106 | How do they succeed in veiling it from them? |
| 16106 | How does this come about? |
| 16106 | How is it that every day brings in what is needed, neither more nor less, to this gigantic market? |
| 16106 | How is the matter managed? |
| 16106 | How is this abusive trope introduced into the rhetoric of monopolists? |
| 16106 | I had this question to determine:"Why does any article made, for instance, at Montreal, bear an increased price on its arrival at New York?" |
| 16106 | If self- renunciation has so many claims for you, who prevents your carrying it into private life? |
| 16106 | If we then take an account of stock, is it not certain that we shall find more iron in the country, more coffee, more everything else? |
| 16106 | If, then, there be a general diminution of comforts, how, working men, can it be possible that_ your_ portion should be increased? |
| 16106 | In effect the question is, are purchases made abroad useful or injurious? |
| 16106 | In practice, is there one exchange in a hundred, in a thousand, in ten thousand perhaps, where there is a direct barter of product for product? |
| 16106 | Is it false? |
| 16106 | Is it not because that sum is the price of production? |
| 16106 | Is it true that protection, which avowedly raises prices, and thus injures you, proportionably raises the rate of wages? |
| 16106 | Is not this pure and unadulterated Sisyphism? |
| 16106 | Is that to say that they are no longer despoiled? |
| 16106 | Is there any other rule for international exchanges? |
| 16106 | Is this credible? |
| 16106 | Is this possible? |
| 16106 | Now what conclusion do our Congressmen draw from the sums entered into the custom- house, in this operation? |
| 16106 | Now what does this prove? |
| 16106 | Now, what is the defect in this argument? |
| 16106 | Now, why is this bag of wool worth a hundred dollars? |
| 16106 | On what depends the_ demand_ for labor? |
| 16106 | On what does the rate of wages depend? |
| 16106 | See http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/moagrp/ WHAT IS FREE TRADE? |
| 16106 | Something tells us that it must be wrong; but_ where_ is it wrong? |
| 16106 | The protectionists ask,"Are we sure that the foreigner will purchase as much from us, as he will sell to us? |

| 16106 | When shall we have done with such puerile talk? |

| 16106 | Which is better for man and for society-- abundance or scarcity? |
| 16106 | Which theory is right? |
| 16106 | While we point with pride to some prosperous manufacture, can we answer, whence comes the capital with which it is founded and maintained? |
| 16106 | Who, then, would be the loser? |
| 16106 | Why not, when they are seriously paraded in newspapers and in books? |
| 16106 | With what do they upbraid freedom of commerce? |
| 16106 | Would it be thus with errors which attack the moral world? |
| 16106 | Would not one suppose us all angels of disinterestedness? |
| 16106 | Would water, air, earth, fire, be less useful to man whether they were or were not elements? |
| 16106 | Yet what analogy is there between an exchange and an_ invasion_? |
| 16106 | and are these humors? |
| 16106 | no, nothing is more deceiving than theory-- your doctrine? |
| 16106 | or rather is it not drawn either from agriculture, or stock- breeding, or commerce? |
| 16106 | your principle? |
| 16106 | your system? |

| 20513 | Did you ever hear of a man who had striven all his life faithfully and singly toward an object, and in no measure obtained it? |
| 20513 | Do n''t you remember telling me it''s best to get used to a thing by degrees? 20513 Do you know, sir,"said a devotee of Mammon to John Bright,"that I am worth a million sterling?" |

| 20513 | Call you this dying? |
| 20513 | Could you make all the looms work as smoothly as yours?" |
| 20513 | Did I ever accuse any man? |
| 20513 | Did I ever blame God or man? |
| 20513 | Did any of you ever see me with a sorrowful countenance?" |
| 20513 | Did ever a man try heroism, magnanimity, truth, sincerity, and find that there was no advantage in them,--that it was a vain endeavor?" |
| 20513 | Do I desire to hear eloquent speeches? |
| 20513 | Do I feel indisposed, and need a little recreation? |
| 20513 | Do I feel like hearing an eloquent sermon? |
| 20513 | Do n''t you call those letters of recommendation? |
| 20513 | Does competition trouble you? |
| 20513 | Equipped? |
| 20513 | HOW DID HE BEGIN? |
| 20513 | Hamer,''I said,''will you appoint me to West Point?'' |
| 20513 | Has he lost his reputation through crime? |
| 20513 | Has he lost who halts before the throne when duty calls, or sorrow, or distress? |
| 20513 | Has it built any cities? |
| 20513 | Has it built any steamships, established any universities, any asylums, any hospitals? |
| 20513 | Has it invented any telephones, any telegraphs? |
| 20513 | Have they had a quarrel, and are they separated from him? |
| 20513 | Honors? |
| 20513 | How Did He Begin? |
| 20513 | How did the snail teach you, Tommy?" |

| 20513 | How to constitute one''s self a man? |
| 20513 | How was this attained? |
| 20513 | Is he struck through with disease? |
| 20513 | Is his reason gone? |
| 20513 | Is it not rather living? |
| 20513 | Is n''t the tongue the organ of sociality, the organ of eloquence, the organ of kindness, the organ of worship?" |
| 20513 | Is there no one to sing the pà ¦ an of the conquered who fell in the battle of life? |
| 20513 | Is there one who will conquer? |
| 20513 | On the other hand who shall say how many crimes were committed the past year by wicked men buried long ago? |
| 20513 | Opportunities? |
| 20513 | Out of Place, 49 V. What Shall I Do? |
| 20513 | Speak, history, who are life''s victors? |
| 20513 | That he has got the control of his lower instincts, so that they are only fuel to his higher feelings, giving force to his nature? |
| 20513 | That his affections are like vines, sending out on all sides blossoms and clustering fruits? |
| 20513 | That his moral feelings are so developed and quickened that he holds sweet commerce with Heaven? |
| 20513 | That his tastes are so cultivated that all beautiful things speak to him, and bring him their delights? |
| 20513 | That his understanding is opened, so that he walks through every hall of knowledge, and gathers its treasures? |
| 20513 | The following departments and subjects will be given especial attention: The Progress of the World, Self- Culture, Civics,"What Career?" |
| 20513 | The rivers of India run under ground, unseen, unheard, by the millions who tramp above, but are they therefore lost? |
| 20513 | The servant replied,"I did; for is n''t the tongue the organ of blasphemy, the organ of defamation, the organ of lying?" |
| 20513 | This is my world now; why should I envy others its mere legal possession? |
| 20513 | Understandez? |
| 20513 | Unroll thy long scroll and say, have they won who first reached the goal, heedless of a brother''s rights? |

| 20513 | Who does not feel honored by his relationship to Dr. Franklin, whether as a townsman or a countryman, or even as belonging to the same race? |
| 20513 | Who has not noticed the power of love in an awkward, crabbed, shiftless, lazy man? |
| 20513 | Who keeps accounts by these? |
| 20513 | Why not allow the schoolboy to erase from his list of studies all subjects that appear to him useless? |
| 20513 | Why say anything about it? |

| 20513 | Will You Pay the Price? |
| 20513 | Will there not be for him something more powerful than fame to comfort his sufferings and to sustain his hopes?" |
| 20513 | With what earnest singleness of aim did Lincoln in the cabinet, Grant in the field, throw his whole soul into the contest of our civil war? |
| 20513 | Would he not erase every thing which taxed his pleasure and freedom? |
| 20513 | Would he not obey the call of his blood, rather than the advice of his teacher? |
| 20513 | You got one vife?" |
| 20513 | You see dem stone yondare?" |
| 20513 | You want more work? |
| 20513 | You want work?" |
| 20513 | exclaimed the astonished friend, who knew that the showman had not a dollar;"what do you intend buying it with?" |
| 20513 | heard of the death of Calvin he exclaimed with a sigh,"Ah, the strength of that proud heretic lay in-- riches? |

| 20513 | of the wounded, the beaten, who died overwhelmed in the strife? |
| 20513 | or even falling into that which I would avoid? |
| 20513 | people ask when a man dies; but the angel who receives him asks,"What good deeds hast thou sent before thee?" |
| 20513 | what passion opposed? |
| 20513 | what temptation resisted? |
| 20513 | what virtue acquired?" |
| 20513 | work away; what is your competitor but a man? |
| 14444 | ''And did your husband like that you did so?'' |
| 14444 | ''And was he pleased with it when he came home? |
| 14444 | ''And what answer did he make?'' |
| 14444 | ''And what said you to him?'' |
| 14444 | ''Are you broke?'' |
| 14444 | ''But what does that signify now, child?'' |
| 14444 | ''God forbid,''says the honest man;''what do you mean by that?'' |
| 14444 | ''Well,''said I,''and you think yourself very happy in all this, do n''t you? |
| 14444 | ''Well,''says the father,''do you think you could carry on the trade?'' |
| 14444 | ''What signifies going to such a shop?'' |
| 14444 | ''What signify the accounts to me?'' |
| 14444 | ''Why, Madam,''says the citizen,''did the man of the shop use your ladyship ill?'' |
| 14444 | ''Why, what can you do, child?'' |
| 14444 | ''Why,''says a lady to one of these emissaries,''what was the matter? |
| 14444 | ''Why,''says the widow,''I used to ask him if he thought I could carry it on for them, if such a thing should happen?'' |
| 14444 | Among these rules this was one of the chief-- namely,''that they should not we d before they had sped?'' |
| 14444 | And by whom have the prodigious taxes been paid, the loans supplied, and money advanced upon all occasions? |
| 14444 | And how must we prevent the mischief to conscience and principle which lay so heavy upon the whole nation before? |
| 14444 | And how shall he bear the breach in his stock which that separation would make? |
| 14444 | And how was it done? |
| 14444 | And what is the end of this but inevitable decay, and at last poverty and ruin? |
| 14444 | And what was the consequence? |
| 14444 | And who, if they must have a partner, would have one that was concerned in separate business, in which the partnership was not engaged? |
| 14444 | Are these encouragements to tradesmen to be negligent and careless of the event of things? |
| 14444 | But the main question for a tradesman in this case, and which I have not spoken of yet, is,''What is the man to do to preserve his credit? |
| 14444 | But what is the difference in the consequences? |
| 14444 | But what relief is this to him? |
| 14444 | But where in trade is there any business entirely free from these frauds? |
| 14444 | But why are you so concerned about it, Madam? |
| 14444 | By whom are the banks and companies carried on?--and on whom are the customs and excises levied? |
| 14444 | Come, let''s see, what can you do? |
| 14444 | Could I doubt but that you could afford it very well? |
| 14444 | Did ever a man build himself a house on purpose to have it burnt down? |
| 14444 | Did ever tradesman set up on purpose to break? |
| 14444 | Did he not refuse her, then? |
| 14444 | Did you do it to his mind?'' |
| 14444 | Do I give them one shilling of lawful money of England? |
| 14444 | Do I not put a cheat upon them, and act against justice and mutual agreement? |
| 14444 | Do I pay them what I bargained for? |
| 14444 | Do you think I would live as I do, if I thought your income would not bear it? |
| 14444 | Have not the trade and tradesmen born the burden of the war?--and do they not still pay four millions a- year interest for the public debts? |
| 14444 | He grew angry then, and asked me if I laughed at him, and if I thought to laugh him out of his money? |
| 14444 | How does he pay his bills?'' |
| 14444 | I am asked here, perhaps, how much pleasure an honest- meaning tradesman may be allowed to take? |
| 14444 | I might take them all in bulk, and say, what has a young tradesman to do with these? |
| 14444 | I then asked him, if he really did expect I should swear that I would pay him the next week, as I proposed to promise? |
| 14444 | If I am the person inquired of, what must I do? |
| 14444 | If I cheapen any thing at a shop, suppose it the least toy or trifle, I ask them,''What must you have for it?'' |
| 14444 | If it be thus of every poor man''s clothing, or of a servant, what must it be of the master, and of the rest of the family? |
| 14444 | If there is but twenty shillings over in the money, the question is,''How came it there?'' |
| 14444 | Is not trade the inexhausted fund of all funds, and upon which all the rest depend? |
| 14444 | Madam, how could she know, poor lady, till her friends inquired into things? |
| 14444 | Now, far from being pleased that I have more money by me than I should have, my inquiry is plain,''How comes this to pass?'' |
| 14444 | Now, what is to be done for this unhappy family? |
| 14444 | Now, what is to be said for this? |
| 14444 | On whom are the funds levied, and by whom the public credit supported? |
| 14444 | Pleasures rob the tradesman, and how, then, can he call them innocent diversions? |
| 14444 | Pray, how long has this young gentleman to serve? |
| 14444 | That, if they had been out, he should ask them where they had been, and in what company? |
| 14444 | The shopkeeper answers-- so much; suppose it were a shilling, what is the English but this-- one shilling of lawful money of England? |
| 14444 | The thing she is to inquire is, what she must do if Mr----, the glover, or cutler, should die? |
| 14444 | The tradesmen having, then, trusted the landed men with so much, where must they have it but by giving credit also to one another? |
| 14444 | Thus the tradesman places his confidence in the thief, and how should he avoid being robbed? |
| 14444 | Was that his kindness to her? |
| 14444 | What can be a closer stroke at the poor tradesman? |
| 14444 | What could I do? |
| 14444 | What is at the bottom of it?--why wo n''t you tell me?--what have I done, that I am not to be trusted with a thing that so nearly concerns me? |
| 14444 | What is the shop without the master? |
| 14444 | What must be done in this case? |
| 14444 | What must he do? |
| 14444 | What retail trade would a milliner have among the fishmongers''shops on Fishstreet- hill, or a toyman about Queen- hithe? |
| 14444 | What shall the tradesman do in such a case? |
| 14444 | What shall we say now to this ill- timed devotion, and who must tempt the poor man to this neglect? |
| 14444 | What was the consequence? |
| 14444 | What, then, must be done? |
| 14444 | Who, then, would run the venture of a partner, if it were possible to avoid it? |
| 14444 | Why must not I know it? |
| 14444 | Will any man in his wits fail in his trade, break his credit, and shut up his shop, for these prospects? |
| 14444 | _ A_.--What do you mean by that? |
| 14444 | _ B_.--I take it, indeed, for a due caution to me, sir; but the man may be a good man for all that, only--_ A_.--Only what? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--And he has not disobliged you at all, has he? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--And what could you say, then? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--But did your ladyship try him as you said you would? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--But had no other proof of it, Madam, than her relation? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--Did you oblige him to do so? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--Did your ladyship see any thing that pleased you? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--How does your ladyship know he does so then? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--Is he well stocked with goods? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--Sure, Madam, the lady was strangely used; did she tell any of the particulars? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--Was it the lady that told you so herself, Madam? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--Well; but, Madam, perhaps it may be a mistake-- and the lady that told you was not the person neither? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--What did he say to that? |
| 14444 | _ Cit._--Why, Madam, how does your ladyship find him? |
| 14444 | _ Husb._--And why did he not let her have some notice of it? |
| 14444 | _ Husb._--How could I mention so unkind a thing to you? |
| 14444 | _ Husb._--What could I do? |
| 14444 | _ Husb._--What steps could you think of, if that were the case? |
| 14444 | _ Husb._--What will you do to prevent it? |
| 14444 | _ Husb._--Why should I trouble you with it? |
| 14444 | _ Husb_.--And what must I do? |
| 14444 | _ Husb_.--And what will all your friends and acquaintance, and the world, say to it? |
| 14444 | _ Lady_.--And how did he treat you? |
| 14444 | _ Lady_.--How, pray? |
| 14444 | _ Lady_.--Is that possible? |
| 14444 | _ Lady_.--No, I am not for teazing them any more; but shall we really go away, and buy nothing? |
| 14444 | _ Lady_.--Well, but what shall we do now? |
| 14444 | _ Lady_.--Well; but pray, Madam, what was the reason, if we may be so free, that she turned him off after she had entertained him so long? |
| 14444 | _ Lady_.--What then, pray? |
| 14444 | _ Lady_.--Why did she entertain him so long, then? |
| 14444 | _ Lady_.--Why, are not his circumstances good, then? |
| 14444 | _ Wife_.--But was not he a barbarous wretch to her, to let her know nothing of her circumstances? |
| 14444 | _ Wife_.--Do you think she would have done so, if she had known any thing of his circumstances? |
| 14444 | _ Wife_.--How is that, pray? |
| 14444 | _ Wife_.--I will know what is the matter_ Husb._--I tell you nothing is the matter-- what should be the matter? |
| 14444 | _ Wife_.--Then you will not trust your wife with knowing what touches you so sensibly? |
| 14444 | _ Wife_.--Was that your grief?--and would you never be so kind to your wife as to let her know it? |
| 14444 | _ Wife_.--Well, but how do you know that? |
| 14444 | adds the father;''you see it is so; and how can it be helped?'' |
| 14444 | after the Exchequer had been shut up, parliamentary appropriations misapplied, and, in a word, the public faith broken; who would lend? |
| 14444 | and how shall we speak of them, when we see them so universally made use of? |
| 14444 | and what is it he is to do? |
| 14444 | and where is the servant that would comply with it? |
| 14444 | and yet where is there a tradesman now to be found, who is not more or less guilty? |
| 14444 | are you going to break? |
| 14444 | but what? |
| 14444 | do you know the man that keeps the shop? |
| 14444 | fifty pounds on the credit of his word or bond, after the shutting up the Exchequer? |

| 14444 | so here, if you would be able to judge of the man, your first question is,''What for a paymaster is he? |
| 14444 | that is to say, in English,''Are you able to keep a wife when you have got her?'' |
| 14444 | what have I to do to contradict him? |

| 14444 | what the credit without the man? |

| 8000 | ''And turkeys?'' 8000 ''Does the father go first?'' |

| 8000 | During that time have you known of any instance of an illegitimate child being born in the village of the Claddagh? |
| 8000 | Have there been here many illegitimate children? |
| 8000 | Have you ever known of any such case in Galway? |
| 8000 | Have you much crime here? |
| 8000 | How long have you been in charge of the Claddagh village? |
| 8000 | How long have you been on duty here? |

| 8000 | How,says the same author,"can the Chinese"Regard the English in any other light than wholesale smugglers and wholesale dealers in poison? |
| 8000 | I visited the factories that used to support 200 men with their families, and how many men did I find at work? 8000 Now, what are the pursuits, the dwelling- houses, and the habits of these poor wretches? |
| 8000 | What do you mean by being reared up? |
| 8000 | What,it asks,"Will follow? |
| 8000 | [ 209] Why is it that the king is enabled to do these things? 8000 ''Why do you cry?'' 8000 *** And protection against whom? 8000 *** Can it be there are two of them? 8000 ***** Are we then to adopt a system of measures tending to the injury of the people of England? 8000 115''Is this system of eviction,''said I to the driver, pointing to a small cluster of unroofed cabins we were passing at the moment,''good or bad?'' |
| 8000 | Admitting that the grain and flour trade were thus centralized, what would be the effect of a succession of large crops, or even of a single one? |
| 8000 | Admitting, for a moment, that such a system existed, what would be the remedy? |
| 8000 | And how do they effect the fall? |
| 8000 | And what must be the verdict of future generations, as they peruse the history of these wrongs and outrages? |
| 8000 | And yet, even now, the_ Times_ asks the question--"How are the people to be fed and employed? |
| 8000 | Are Irishmen inferior in understanding? |
| 8000 | Are not the most laborious of all labourers in London and New York, Irishmen? |
| 8000 | Are these things to be found in India? |
| 8000 | Are we to believe,"says he,"the calumny that the Irish are lazy and wo n''t work? |
| 8000 | But on whom must rest the responsibility for a state of things so hideous as that here exhibited? |
| 8000 | But think you the poor wretch had committed a heinous offence, and had been convicted thereof, and sentenced to the lash? |
| 8000 | But why extend the catalogue? |
| 8000 | But, electors, how does it operate on you? |
| 8000 | Can such a system be a natural one? |
| 8000 | Can such scenes be paralleled in Siberia or Caffraria?" |
| 8000 | Can the people of this country become parties to a system like this-- one that looks to cheapening labour every where? |
| 8000 | Can they be found in Ireland, in Turkey, or in Portugal? |
| 8000 | Can they be parties to any system that can be maintained only on the condition of"an abundant and cheap supply of labour?" |
| 8000 | Could there be a greater tyranny than this? |
| 8000 | Do the planters profit by good crops? |
| 8000 | Do they profit by improvements in the transportation of their commodity? |
| 8000 | Does Demerara stand alone in its misfortune? |
| 8000 | Does she desire that manufactures shall rise, that towns shall grow, and that the land shall acquire value? |
| 8000 | Does the reader remember some gorgeous sheets of colored gelatine in the French department of the Great Exhibition? |
| 8000 | HOW CAN SLAVERY BE EXTINGUISHED? |
| 8000 | HOW CAN SLAVERY BE EXTINGUISHED? |
| 8000 | Have we really a free constitution? |
| 8000 | How can slavery be extinguished, and man be made free? |
| 8000 | How can this be done for Ireland? |
| 8000 | How can this be done? |
| 8000 | How could it be otherwise in a country in which"labourers, whether well off or not, never attempt to be better? |
| 8000 | How do you like it? |
| 8000 | How does it work? |
| 8000 | How is this to be proved? |
| 8000 | How shall slavery be abolished? |
| 8000 | How was all this done? |
| 8000 | How, indeed, could it be otherwise than that the reward of labour should rise? |
| 8000 | How? |
| 8000 | I repeat, how does this operate on you? |
| 8000 | If he could do this would he not become a freer man? |
| 8000 | If, under these circumstances, King Ferdinand is enabled to play the tyrant, upon whom rests the blame? |
| 8000 | In what country of civilized Europe has the peasant so light a burden to bear? |
| 8000 | Is Irish human nature different from other human nature? |
| 8000 | Is it not clear that the labour of converting the cotton into yarn is not one- quarter as great as was the labour of raising, the cotton itself? |
| 8000 | Is it not indeed beginning at the wrong end to try and reform men, after they have become criminals? |
| 8000 | Is it the labourer? |
| 8000 | Is it the landlord? |
| 8000 | Is there no mode of escaping from this thraldom? |
| 8000 | Looking on them, the doubt rose in my mind, am I in a civilized country? |
| 8000 | Must our children always be deprived of schools? |
| 8000 | Must our women always labour in the field? |
| 8000 | Must the slave trade last for ever? |
| 8000 | Must we continue for ever to raise negroes for sale? |
| 8000 | Need we wonder at the poverty of India when thus taxed, while deprived of all power even to manure its land? |
| 8000 | Or to Portugal, the weakest and most wretched of the communities of Europe? |
| 8000 | Or, can they be parties to an alliance that, wherever it is found, so far cheapens man as to render him a profitable article for the export trade? |
| 8000 | Sell what? |
| 8000 | Shall we look to Ireland for the proof? |
| 8000 | The ground had already been freshly manured by sea- weeds, but the village, where was it? |
| 8000 | The people of Austria and Hungary are weak, but has England ever tried to render them strong to obtain their freedom? |
| 8000 | The people of China are weak, but does the consumption of opium to the extent of forty millions of dollars a year tend to strengthen them? |
| 8000 | The reader may determine for himself if this is not a fair picture of the cotton trade? |
| 8000 | Then he adds,''Do you see those three hundred men who have just walked out? |
| 8000 | They often say,''You are not treating that child properly; it will not live:_ is it in the club_?'' |
| 8000 | This is all most true, but what does it prove in regard to British policy? |
| 8000 | This is quite true; but why did these men come? |
| 8000 | This is slavery, and under such a system how could the wretched people be other than slaves? |
| 8000 | This system is to be carried out by producing"unlimited competition"and in what is it to exist? |
| 8000 | To this what would be the reply? |
| 8000 | To whom? |
| 8000 | Turkey is weak; and why is it so? |
| 8000 | Under such circumstances, how could your infant establishments hope to exist? |

| 8000 | We are now frequently invited to an alliance with Great Britain, and for what? |
| 8000 | We are told of his designs upon Turkey-- but what have the_ people_ of that country to lose by incorporation within the Russian Empire? |
| 8000 | Well is it asked by Dr. Allen, in his pamphlet on"The Opium Trade,"( Lowell, 1853,)"Can such an unrighteous course in a nation always prosper?" |

| 8000 | What worse slavery can we have than this? |

| 8000 | Where, however, is it? |
| 8000 | Where, however, lies the fault of all this? |
| 8000 | Where? |

| 8000 | Why is it so? |
| 8000 | Why is it that men in Africa sell their fellow- men to be transported to Cuba or Brazil? |

| 8000 | Why is this? |
| 8000 | Why should Virginia import potatoes and hay, cheese and butter? |
| 8000 | Why was it so? |
| 8000 | Why, however, did this absenteeism exist? |
| 8000 | Why, however, he will probably ask, is it that they do so waste it? |
| 8000 | Why? |
| 8000 | Why?_ Labour is the creator of all wealth. |
| 8000 | Will this tend to strengthen, or to free, the Chinese people? |
| 8000 | With such a diet, how much better is he than an Irishman-- a Celt, as he calls him? |
| 8000 | With such positive and immediate evils to contend with, what wonder that so many needlewomen take''the wages of sin?''" |
| 8000 | Would he not approach the miller, cap in hand, and would not the latter receive him with his hat on his head? |
| 8000 | Would not every one be anxious to anticipate the apprehended fall of prices by being early in the market? |
| 8000 | Would not freights be high? |
| 8000 | Would not storage be high? |
| 8000 | Would not the export of Coolies cease if man could be rendered more, valuable in India than in Jamaica or Guiana? |
| 8000 | Would not the farmer, on his arrival in Rochester, find that every store- house was filled to overflowing? |
| 8000 | Would not the farmers find themselves to be mere slaves to the owners of a small quantity of mill machinery? |
| 8000 | Would not the roads be covered with wagons whenever they were passable, and even at times when, they were almost impassable? |

| 21291 | Shall he confess his ignorance and inability, or step into fame and fortune? |

| 21291 | The age of miracles past, when three times a day right before our eyes Nature performs miracles greater even than raising the dead? |
| 21291 | The great question which confronts you in the practical world is"What can you do with what you know?" |
| 21291 | The miracles are wrought in a silent laboratory; not a sound is heard, and yet what marvels of skill, deliciousness and beauty? |

| 21291 | The proprietor was called, and the stranger asked:"What is the lowest, Mr. Franklin, that you can take for that book?" |
| 21291 | The thief gets money, but does he succeed? |
| 21291 | The would- be purchaser looked over the books on sale a while longer, and then inquired:"Is Mr. Franklin in?" |
| 21291 | Then you play by ear? |

| 21291 | but is he anybody? |
| 21291 | does he stand for something? |
| 21291 | exclaimed Franklin;"what have I done to merit these cruel sufferings?" |
| 21291 | exclaimed the astonished friend, who knew that the showman had not a dollar;"what do you intend buying it with?" |
| 21291 | exclaimed the great composer, suddenly pausing before a little, mean dwelling,''what sound is that? |
| 21291 | exclaimed the head servant, in astonishment;"and who are you?" |
| 21291 | has he this or that faculty? |
| 21291 | is he committed? |
| 21291 | is he of the establishment? |
| 21291 | is he of the movement? |
| 21291 | is he well- meaning? |
| 21291 | my sister,''said a second voice;''why create regrets when there is no remedy? |
| 21291 | or"How can I get rich?" |
| 21291 | said the shoemaker in a low tone;''who and what are you?'' |
| 21291 | the chances all gone? |
| 21291 | the positions all filled? |
| 21291 | work away; what is your competitor but a man? |
| 44145 | 5th, In short, after having voted the tax, do you wish to get free from it? 44145 And how can you give consistency to this mass of contradictions?" |
| 44145 | And if you found they were not in harmony? |
| 44145 | And if you procured the cloth from Verviers, how much would it cost you? |
| 44145 | And my question recurs,''What does it signify?'' 44145 And that cost him much labour?" |
| 44145 | And then? |
| 44145 | And then? |
| 44145 | And what did he live on during that time? |
| 44145 | And what is that, if you please? |
| 44145 | And where do these 20 francs go to? |
| 44145 | And who established the octroi? |
| 44145 | And why is it forbidden? |
| 44145 | But are you sure that the one will balance the other? |
| 44145 | But if you found that the just and the useful were one and the same thing? |
| 44145 | But suppose yourself already a minister, and that you experience no opposition from the majority, what would you do? |
| 44145 | But the question recurs,''What else? |
| 44145 | Certainly; do n''t you see that France would be a loser if you received twenty parcels, instead of fifteen? |
| 44145 | Did Robinson not see that he could devote the time saved to_ something else?_"What else? |
| 44145 | Did Robinson not see that he could devote the time saved to_ something else?_"What else? |
| 44145 | Do you desire proof of this? 44145 Even raw materials?" |
| 44145 | Exactly so; and with what? |
| 44145 | F.: Are you sure of that? 44145 F.: What matters it, if we have the game? |
| 44145 | Friday: What do you think of it? 44145 How do you suppose that our manufacturers can compete with foreign manufacturers who have their raw materials free?" |
| 44145 | How much do you pay for this wine? |
| 44145 | How much does this coat cost you? |
| 44145 | How much would you have paid for it outside the barrier? |
| 44145 | How? |
| 44145 | If my proposal is rejected, what am I to conclude? 44145 In sober earnest, can the two( except as regards revenue) be put in comparison for a moment? |
| 44145 | In two volumes folio? |
| 44145 | Is it necessary for me to enumerate the advantages of my proposal? 44145 Is it not that which,_ for a determinate amount of labour, obtains the greater quantity of cloth?_""It seems so." |
| 44145 | R.: Then, what shall we gain? 44145 So that what holds true of the one, holds true of the other?" |
| 44145 | The first question we have to consider is this: Is the correspondence which passes between individual citizens a proper subject of taxation? 44145 The whole army?" |
| 44145 | Then, if prohibition is bad, restriction can not be good? |
| 44145 | There would, then, be a certain amount of her labour rendered inert? |
| 44145 | To what? |
| 44145 | Well, what would you do? |
| 44145 | What happened to the hatchet? |
| 44145 | What is prohibition? |
| 44145 | What is restriction? |
| 44145 | What is the definitive effect of protection? |
| 44145 | What is the name which is common to restriction and prohibition? |
| 44145 | What is the reason of this difference? |
| 44145 | What should we do in case of war,it is said,"if we are placed at the mercy of England for iron and coal?" |
| 44145 | What? |
| 44145 | When? |
| 44145 | Where should they go to, but into the pocket of the cloth- manufacturer? |
| 44145 | Why are men attached to the system of protection? |
| 44145 | Why do you say apparent? |
| 44145 | Why, then, did you not order it from Verviers? |
| 44145 | Why? 44145 Why?" |
| 44145 | With what? |
| 44145 | )_"What course should an agricultural and manufacturing country take under such circumstances? |
| 44145 | Again, would you judge of the two doctrines? |
| 44145 | Am I not warranted in regarding their argument only as a pretext? |
| 44145 | And do the Chambers and the Government not obey the injunction? |
| 44145 | And do they not act in the interest of the civil list, which profits most of all from the policy of protection? |
| 44145 | And do they not avail themselves of the cupidity of Lille and the north? |
| 44145 | And do they not borrow from the same source the quibbles of protection? |
| 44145 | And do they not make use of the words drawback and budget? |
| 44145 | And do they not parody Lord George Bentinck and the British aristocracy? |
| 44145 | And for that end what ought we to do? |
| 44145 | And how do we proceed? |
| 44145 | And how does the postmaster then proceed? |
| 44145 | And now that we have put salt, postages, and customs duties on a new footing, does this end your projected reform?" |
| 44145 | And then, is it quite clear that our postal system has need to be reformed? |
| 44145 | And then, what service do they render me in return for this nectar which has cost me so much toil? |
| 44145 | And to what does all this tend? |
| 44145 | And to whose profit? |
| 44145 | And what does it matter? |
| 44145 | And what if I can hinder float- wood from being brought into Paris? |
| 44145 | And what is the remedy? |
| 44145 | And what religion more favourable to peace than Christianity? |
| 44145 | And what tax, pray, do I pay which does not reach the Treasury?" |
| 44145 | And where did this idea of establishing a policy of protection take its rise? |
| 44145 | And who gains by the cheapness of products? |
| 44145 | And why do they sell cheaper than you? |
| 44145 | And why not? |
| 44145 | And why not? |
| 44145 | And why should nations bring each other under a yoke of this kind? |
| 44145 | And why? |
| 44145 | And why? |
| 44145 | And yet what analogy is there between an exchange and an invasion? |
| 44145 | And yet, what do the Customhouse books tell M. Lestiboudois regarding this transaction? |
| 44145 | And you force me, as a tradesman, to purchase from you the product of the blunt hatchet? |
| 44145 | And your sham friends exclaim,"But for monopolies, where would you find employment?" |
| 44145 | And, please, Sir, for what purpose do you intend them? |
| 44145 | Are there not in Paris thirty thousand Germans who make clothes and shoes? |
| 44145 | Are they better clothed, because there is_ less_ cloth and linen? |
| 44145 | Are they not created by nature? |
| 44145 | Are two houses exactly similar necessarily of the same value? |
| 44145 | Are we farmers? |
| 44145 | Are we iron- masters? |
| 44145 | Are we manufacturers of cotton stuffs? |
| 44145 | Are we not represented as being all angels of disinterestedness? |
| 44145 | Are we physicians? |
| 44145 | Are we vine- dressers? |
| 44145 | Are you ill? |
| 44145 | Are you no longer in love with equality? |
| 44145 | At all events, who will tell us that the balance of trade is not in their favour, and that we are not obliged to pay them a tribute in hard cash? |
| 44145 | At the present time, when indigenous sugar supplies one- third of our consumption, how much land is devoted to that culture? |
| 44145 | At this rate, we shall all be ruined in three years, and what will become of the poorer classes? |
| 44145 | Better assisted in their labour, because there are_ fewer_ tools and_ less_ iron, copper, and machinery? |
| 44145 | Better warmed, because there is_ less_ coal? |
| 44145 | But Kouang persisted, and said:"Sire, what is your object?" |
| 44145 | But do you not find that it takes you by the throat? |
| 44145 | But does the law which says, We shall no longer receive such or such a product from abroad, we shall make it at home, augment the capital? |
| 44145 | But how and from what source will it be remunerated? |
| 44145 | But how can you manage it? |
| 44145 | But how does it show itself? |
| 44145 | But if the neighbouring communes had erected the octroi for their profit, what would have been the consequence?" |
| 44145 | But if this half being gratuitous, determines you to exclude competition, how should the whole, being gratuitous, induce you to admit competition? |
| 44145 | But is it not too much so? |
| 44145 | But is this a complete view of the subject? |
| 44145 | But it may be asked, Are the benefits of liberty so hidden as to be discovered only by Economists by profession? |
| 44145 | But it may be asked, Is there not a species of theft which is more simple still? |
| 44145 | But it may be said, Why make use of this ugly term, Spoliation? |
| 44145 | But of errors in the moral world, can the same thing be said? |
| 44145 | But take the case of a sack of corn, a bar of iron, a hundredweight of coals,--are these commodities produced by labour? |
| 44145 | But tell me what you intend to make of this last cask, the best of my whole stock? |
| 44145 | But tell me, gentlemen, if you regard the books of merchants as holding good in practice? |
| 44145 | But then what will the country in question have lost? |
| 44145 | But what are humours? |
| 44145 | But what constitutes the measure of our prosperity, or of our wealth? |
| 44145 | But what has happened? |
| 44145 | But when you lay down a principle in opposition to ours, you perhaps imagine you are not proceeding on theory? |
| 44145 | But which of them should legislation favour, as identical with the public good-- if, indeed, it should favour either? |
| 44145 | But which? |
| 44145 | But who ever claimed for it this character, or put forward on its behalf so exorbitant a pretension? |
| 44145 | But who reaps the advantage of this liberality of nature? |
| 44145 | But who would profit? |
| 44145 | But why should he contest the utility of the duty which has devolved upon us? |
| 44145 | But why? |
| 44145 | But will any one undertake to affirm that fire has become a greater evil since the introduction of insurance? |
| 44145 | Butter? |
| 44145 | Can Paris produce firewood as cheaply as the Forest of Bondy? |
| 44145 | Can it be explained how such a system could coexist with the constantly increasing prosperity of nations? |
| 44145 | Can we be surprised at this, when the public winks at it? |
| 44145 | Can you maintain that export duties will not be onerous?" |
| 44145 | D. to do with my wine? |
| 44145 | D., forsooth, is to make up his losses by laying hold of my wine? |
| 44145 | D., the cloth- manufacturer? |
| 44145 | D.? |
| 44145 | DOES PROTECTION RAISE THE RATE OF WAGES? |
| 44145 | Did not M. Saint Cricq exclaim,"Production is excessive?" |
| 44145 | Do n''t you see the great service you are rendering to the country? |
| 44145 | Do n''t you see we are providing employment for you? |
| 44145 | Do we attack their principle? |
| 44145 | Do we establish our doctrine? |
| 44145 | Do we not hear it said every day,"The foreigner is about to inundate us with his products?" |
| 44145 | Do workmen break machines? |
| 44145 | Do you desire to appreciate the bearing of an economic phenomenon? |
| 44145 | Do you desire to be in a situation to decide between liberty and protection? |
| 44145 | Do you imagine I am going to amuse myself by selling my timber at the price of float- wood? |
| 44145 | Do you not compete with one another? |
| 44145 | Do you not see that 48,000_ hectares_ of land, with capital and manual labour in proportion, are sufficient to supply all France with sugar? |
| 44145 | Do you resign the pen for the brush, to save your paying_ tribute_ to the shoeblack? |
| 44145 | Do you see the consequence? |
| 44145 | Do you think this probable? |
| 44145 | Do you want me to shut your mouth? |
| 44145 | Do you want to know whether you are rich? |
| 44145 | Does he not exact more than is due to him? |
| 44145 | Does he not take them by stealth or by force? |
| 44145 | Does not M. d''Argout urge as an argument against sugar- growing the very productiveness of that industry? |
| 44145 | Does not common sense tell us that we must equalize the conditions by a protective octroi tariff? |
| 44145 | Does she not always aspire at universal supremacy? |
| 44145 | Does the farmer make his own clothes? |
| 44145 | Does the tailor produce the corn he consumes? |
| 44145 | Does the tariff alone protect you? |
| 44145 | Does this mean that they are no longer plundered? |
| 44145 | Does your housekeeper continue to have your bread made at home, after she finds she can buy it cheaper from the baker? |
| 44145 | Dupin?) |
| 44145 | Est- ce que j''écris mal? |
| 44145 | Except, then, the sale of tobacco, what employment remains for your female subjects? |
| 44145 | From monopolists? |
| 44145 | From their point of view, I would ask what you could make of such rights if you had them? |
| 44145 | From whom does it come, then? |
| 44145 | Granted; but will not these prices be again raised by an increased demand? |
| 44145 | Has any one ever asserted, or is it possible to maintain, that scarcity is at the foundation of human wellbeing? |
| 44145 | Has every man as much of it as he would wish to have? |
| 44145 | Has he created the laws of gravitation, of the transmission of forces, of affinity? |
| 44145 | Has iron relations only with those who make it? |
| 44145 | Has it done so? |
| 44145 | Has it never occurred to you, that you thereby exercise over your brethren the most iniquitous species of spoliation?" |
| 44145 | Has it no relations with those who use it? |
| 44145 | Has not M. Bugeaud pronounced these words,"Let bread be dear, and agriculturists will get rich?" |
| 44145 | Has that accident nothing to do with his present unhappy state? |
| 44145 | Have I any voice in the matter? |
| 44145 | He receives in exchange-- what? |
| 44145 | How He could have willed that they should be unable to avoid Injustice and War except by renouncing the possibility of attaining prosperity? |
| 44145 | How can Paris ever compete with Normandy in dairy produce? |
| 44145 | How can agriculture flourish in such a locality? |
| 44145 | How do they manage to conceal them? |
| 44145 | How does each succeeding day bring what is wanted, nothing more, nothing less, to so gigantic a market? |
| 44145 | How is this brought about? |
| 44145 | How long will men shut their eyes to this simple truth? |
| 44145 | How many_ hectares_ had we under beet- root in 1828? |
| 44145 | How then can morality restrain acts of spoliation when public opinion places such acts in the rank of the most exalted virtue? |
| 44145 | How, for example, can we possibly produce milk and butter in Paris, with Brittany and Normandy at our door? |
| 44145 | I ask such people, as Harpagon asks Elise,**"Is it the word or the thing which frightens you?" |
| 44145 | I had at the time this question to resolve:"Why does an article manufactured at Brussels, for example, cost dearer when it comes to Paris?" |
| 44145 | I like your plan; but what comes of the poor cloth- manufacturer?" |
| 44145 | If abnegation has indeed so many charms for you, why do you fail to practise it in private life? |
| 44145 | If commerce were free, what use would you have for your great standing armies and powerful navies?.... |
| 44145 | If religion is powerless, and if philosophy is equally powerless, how then are wars to be put an end to? |
| 44145 | If they ask how we are to pay for these things? |
| 44145 | If you are asked what, then, is to be done? |
| 44145 | If you open your gates freely to these rival products, what will become of the cowfeeders, woodcutters, and pork- butchers? |
| 44145 | Infallible, did I say? |
| 44145 | Is it credible? |
| 44145 | Is it established or maintained with capital which has fallen from the moon? |
| 44145 | Is it not an incontestable axiom in political economy that taxes ultimately fall on the consumer? |
| 44145 | Is it not because that is its cost price? |
| 44145 | Is it not evident that if the industry of Poitou were transplanted to Paris, it would open up a steady demand for Parisian labour? |
| 44145 | Is it not their business to put an end to the practice? |
| 44145 | Is it not very convenient to be in a situation to address yourselves to him?" |
| 44145 | Is it the result of the effort? |
| 44145 | Is it worth while exposing seriously such an abuse of language? |
| 44145 | Is it, or is it not, true, that if we admit firewood, meat, and butter freely or at a lower duty, our markets will be inundated? |
| 44145 | Is its sole and ultimate destination to be produced? |
| 44145 | Is not this_ sisyphism_ in all its purity? |
| 44145 | Is our industry_ en masse_ diminished in consequence? |
| 44145 | Is philanthropy to be again brought into play? |
| 44145 | Is repose nothing? |
| 44145 | Is that what is called selling? |
| 44145 | Is the consumption of cloth a fixed and invariable quantity? |
| 44145 | Is the essential thing to_ make it_, or to_ get it?_""A very sensible question, truly! |
| 44145 | Is the manufacturer not beholden to nature in his processes? |
| 44145 | Is there a different law for international exchanges? |
| 44145 | Is there any certainty that we should do either the one or the other? |
| 44145 | Is there in the world a more melancholy picture than this?" |
| 44145 | Is there no means, then, of counteracting this singular measure that Peter and his colleagues got adopted twenty years ago? |
| 44145 | Is this possible? |
| 44145 | It is with M. Lestiboudois, then, that we must deal, for how can we argue with M. Gauthier? |
| 44145 | It may be asked how this abuse of words first came to be introduced into the rhetoric of the monopolists? |
| 44145 | J.: And what becomes of the capital? |
| 44145 | J.: And what benefit do I derive from this now? |
| 44145 | J.: And what service do they render me? |
| 44145 | J.: And would that balance not be quite as well maintained if the European powers were to reduce their forces by one- half or three-fourths? |
| 44145 | J.: How? |
| 44145 | J.: I am sorry to hear it, but what can I do? |
| 44145 | J.: Shall I re- elect him, to divide my wine among Africans and manufacturers? |
| 44145 | Jacques: And after that? |
| 44145 | Jacques: And after that? |
| 44145 | Jacques: But the Treasury? |
| 44145 | Jacques: What connexion is there between the two subjects of comparison? |
| 44145 | John: And I, what shall I gain by overcharging you for my sausages, if you overcharge me for my faggots and bread and butter? |
| 44145 | John: And after that? |
| 44145 | John: And after that? |
| 44145 | John: And after that? |
| 44145 | John: And after that? |
| 44145 | John: And after that? |
| 44145 | John: And after that? |
| 44145 | John: And after that? |
| 44145 | John: And if the letters are prepaid? |
| 44145 | John: And then? |
| 44145 | John: And then? |
| 44145 | John: And then? |
| 44145 | John: And then? |
| 44145 | John: And then? |
| 44145 | John: And then? |
| 44145 | John: And what is that? |
| 44145 | John: Do not the Treasury and the public sail in the same boat? |
| 44145 | John: How so? |
| 44145 | L.: And upon what does the gallant general live? |
| 44145 | L.: What would happen to him if he voted a reduction of the army, and of your contingent? |
| 44145 | L.: Whom did you vote for as deputy? |
| 44145 | L.: Why should you indulge in complaints? |
| 44145 | L.: Would you consider two tuns as more than your fair contribution to the expense of the army and navy? |
| 44145 | L.: You have secured twenty tuns of wine? |
| 44145 | Labour of every kind is in itself sufficiently repugnant to warrant one in asking to what result it leads? |
| 44145 | M. Simiot proposes this question:-- Should the proposed railway from Paris to Madrid offer a solution of continuity at Bordeaux? |
| 44145 | M. de Saint- Cricq inquires,"Whether it is certain that the foreigner will buy from us as much as he sells?" |
| 44145 | Mais ne puis- je savoir ce que dans mon sonnet?... |
| 44145 | Meat? |
| 44145 | Men are, no doubt, not so well provided with what they want; but are we to impute this to free- trade, or to the bad harvests? |
| 44145 | Milk? |
| 44145 | No; nothing is more deceptive than theory; your doctrine? |
| 44145 | Now I would ask, Are the people who live under our laws better fed because there is_ less_ bread, meat, and sugar in the country? |
| 44145 | Now, I ask, would we not have attained the same result by lowering the tariff by 5 francs? |
| 44145 | Now, do you follow me? |
| 44145 | Now, on what does the_ supply_ of labour depend? |
| 44145 | Now, what does this prove? |
| 44145 | Now, when there are fewer enjoyments upon the whole, will the workman''s share of them be augmented? |
| 44145 | Now, why is this sack of wool worth 100 fr.? |
| 44145 | Of these two means, which is the best?" |
| 44145 | Of these two processes, which exercises the more efficacious influence on social progress? |
| 44145 | On what does the rate of wages depend? |
| 44145 | On what does the_ demand_ for labour depend? |
| 44145 | Open their books and their journals; and what do you find? |
| 44145 | Paul: How do you like this Normandy butter? |
| 44145 | Paul: To give a man something at a lower price-- is that what you call beating him? |
| 44145 | Perhaps you will not object to read my defence? |
| 44145 | Practically how are such matters transacted? |
| 44145 | Provided the bankers I represent offer sufficient security, under what pretext can my proposal be refused acceptance? |
| 44145 | Public opinion alone can overturn such an edifice of iniquity; but where can it make a beginning, when every stone of the edifice is tabooed? |
| 44145 | Remark this: A nation isolates itself looking forward to the possibility of war; but is not this very act of isolating itself the beginning of war? |
| 44145 | So much for the disposal of one tun; but what about the five others? |
| 44145 | Some people will say, You are partisans, then, of the_ laissez passer?_--economists of the school of Smith and Say? |
| 44145 | Son: And when is this to stop? |
| 44145 | Son: How can that be, seeing he has got rid of competition? |
| 44145 | Son: How did that happen? |
| 44145 | Son: The three magistrates must have made a large fortune? |
| 44145 | Suppose it accomplished, what would you do? |
| 44145 | Surely, in making him my proxy, I was guilty of a piece of folly; for what is there in common between a general officer and a poor vinedresser? |
| 44145 | Take the case of any producer whatever, what is his immediate interest? |
| 44145 | The general wealth has increased, no doubt; but has the individual wealth of the shoemakers and tailors been diminished? |
| 44145 | The lottery gone, what means have we of providing for our_ protégées?_ Tobacco- shops and the post- office. |
| 44145 | The people, moreover, find their arguments too clear, and why should they be expected to believe what is so easily understood? |
| 44145 | The slaves regret to part with their chains, for they ask themselves,"Whence will come the cassava?" |
| 44145 | Then you simply desire to deprive our workmen of employment, of wages, and of bread?" |
| 44145 | Then, I venture to ask, what, under such circumstances, is the good of your railway? |
| 44145 | These offices have been shut up by a pitiless philanthropy, and on what pretext? |
| 44145 | To which of these two last circumstances are we to attribute the first? |
| 44145 | Was he the richer for this? |
| 44145 | Was it necessary to insinuate that we free- traders are the agents of England, of the south of France, of the government? |
| 44145 | We are about to offer you an admirable opportunity of applying your-- what shall we call it? |
| 44145 | We display exactly the same degree of wisdom and sense, when we desire, at the cost of millions, to defend our country.... From what? |
| 44145 | Well, on this hypotheses, what reason should we have to regret the stoppage of industrial production? |
| 44145 | What are we to expect, for instance, from the cultivation of beet- root? |
| 44145 | What are your deductions from them? |
| 44145 | What can the soil be made to produce with a well- founded expectation of fair remuneration? |
| 44145 | What difference, then, can we possibly discover between the Bordeaux petitioners and the Corypheus of restriction? |
| 44145 | What do such phrases mean? |
| 44145 | What do we say; and what do they say? |
| 44145 | What do we see? |
| 44145 | What do you mean? |
| 44145 | What does it signify? |
| 44145 | What gain will it be to the people if foreign competition, which may damage their sales, does not benefit them in their purchases? |
| 44145 | What good can result from liberty to purchase if you want the means-- in other words, if you are out of employment? |
| 44145 | What has become of the culture of indigo by slave labour? |
| 44145 | What has been the result? |
| 44145 | What has that to do with your butter? |
| 44145 | What have you got to say?'' |
| 44145 | What is astonishing in all this? |
| 44145 | What is done with the letters that are put into the post- office? |
| 44145 | What is it that we protect in France? |
| 44145 | What is the immediate interest of the consumer? |
| 44145 | What is the object in view? |
| 44145 | What is the present destiny of women in France? |
| 44145 | What is your second article?" |
| 44145 | What more powerful means of rendering a people moral than religion? |
| 44145 | What more proofs would you have? |
| 44145 | What more would you have? |
| 44145 | What shall I say of the vine- dressers? |
| 44145 | What shallow writer fails to devote himself to the wellbeing of the working classes? |
| 44145 | What should we make of these three hours? |
| 44145 | What takes place, and what is resolved upon? |
| 44145 | What takes place? |
| 44145 | What use would it be to prohibit the importation of houses by sea or by land?" |
| 44145 | What was I thinking of? |
| 44145 | What would you be at? |
| 44145 | What, then, is to be gained by it? |
| 44145 | What, under such circumstances, are we to do? |
| 44145 | What? |
| 44145 | When called upon to elect those whose province it is to determine the sphere and remuneration of governmental action, whom do they choose? |
| 44145 | When did you take your seat in the Palais Bourbon? |
| 44145 | When shall we be done with these puerile declamations? |
| 44145 | When shall we cease to exhibit this nauseous contradiction between our professions and our practice? |
| 44145 | When they set about reforming the convents in Spain, they asked the beggars,"Where will you now find food and clothing? |
| 44145 | When will_ tartuferie_ be finally banished from science? |
| 44145 | Whence this difference? |
| 44145 | Where is your place, then, in the Chamber of Peers? |
| 44145 | Where will that land us? |
| 44145 | Which is best for man, and for society, abundance or scarcity? |
| 44145 | Who could entertain for a moment any such thought? |
| 44145 | Who has consulted you? |
| 44145 | Why are they permitted to establish themselves alongside of you while the importation of cloth is restricted? |
| 44145 | Why do you drive away the Belgians? |
| 44145 | Why should I go on tormenting myself with this dry and dreary science of_ Political Economy?_ Why? |
| 44145 | Why should I go on tormenting myself with this dry and dreary science of_ Political Economy?_ Why? |
| 44145 | Why then should not the foreigner bear the charges necessary to the production of the commodity of which ultimately he is the consumer?" |
| 44145 | Why was this? |
| 44145 | Why? |
| 44145 | Why? |
| 44145 | Why? |
| 44145 | Will it be said that there is something else to be paid for, materials, apparatus, etc.? |
| 44145 | With what do they reproach free trade? |
| 44145 | Wool? |
| 44145 | Would such a pretended reform not overturn the whole existing state of things? |
| 44145 | Would you explain yours to me? |
| 44145 | Would you venture to pull it down? |
| 44145 | Yet what have we witnessed for eighteen hundred years? |
| 44145 | You allow that France could make this something else to exchange for cloth, with a less expenditure of labour than if she had made the cloth itself?" |
| 44145 | You ask me, then, What is your conclusion? |
| 44145 | You ask what gain this would be to the people? |
| 44145 | You ask, Who is to find you employment? |
| 44145 | You fancy, perhaps, that the Customhouse is merely an instrument of taxation, like the_ octroi_ or the toll- bar? |
| 44145 | You have doubtless invented a new tax?" |
| 44145 | and do you lay taxation out of account? |
| 44145 | and is there any such disease? |
| 44145 | and who, after having inundated us with their hams and sausages, take perhaps nothing from us in return? |
| 44145 | but who protects you workmen? |
| 44145 | butter as cheaply as Normandy? |
| 44145 | cry the two sophists; is it not better to expose ourselves to an eventual invasion than accept an invasion which is certain? |
| 44145 | gratis? |
| 44145 | he of course ran to appropriate it?" |
| 44145 | in charity? |
| 44145 | is slavery then invulnerable? |
| 44145 | is there a human foresight apart from humanity? |
| 44145 | meat as cheaply as Poitou? |
| 44145 | or is it the effort itself? |
| 44145 | or, again,"Can you arrange to barter this Newcastle coal against this champagne wine?" |
| 44145 | said the physician,"do you make no allowance for his broken arms? |
| 44145 | who will deliver me from this hurricane of reforms? |
| 44145 | will it be said that because you are workmen you are for that reason unintelligent and immoral? |
| 44145 | you exclaim, can that be a question? |
| 44145 | your principle? |
| 44145 | your system? |
| 44145 | your theory? |
| 20161 | As in a time of war, supremacy is attained by superiority in arms, can, in a time of peace, supremacy be secured by superiority in labor? |
| 20161 | At the end of a year, will you find an additional crown in a bag of one hundred shillings? 20161 Do you tell us, that if we gain by this protection, France will not gain, because the consumer must pay the price of it? |
| 20161 | Friend,you will say,"I would be glad to protect you and your colleagues; but how can I confer such favors upon the labor of carpenters? |
| 20161 | How can you think of such a thing? |
| 20161 | Is England doing anything more than pursuing the same end by different means? 20161 Unhappy people,"they say to the colored men,"who will feed you? |
| 20161 | We come now to offer you an admirable opportunity for the application of your----what shall we say? 20161 What will we do,"it is asked,"in case of war, if we are at the mercy of England for our iron and coal?" |
| 20161 | What, then, ought to be the course of an agricultural and manufacturing country? 20161 Will a work of industry or of skill produce another, at the end of fourteen years? |
| 20161 | --Ah, yes; does not the same thing happen in the Black Forest? |
| 20161 | --And if you found they did not agree? |
| 20161 | --And that gave him an abundance of work? |
| 20161 | --And then? |
| 20161 | --And what would happen were he to vote for a reduction of the army and your military establishment? |
| 20161 | --And where do these twenty francs go? |
| 20161 | --But are you sure that will be an equivalent? |
| 20161 | --But suppose you see that_ justice_ and_ utility_ are one? |
| 20161 | --But what connection is there between D----''s bad speculations and my hogshead? |
| 20161 | --But what do you propose to do with this poor hogshead, the flower of my flock? |
| 20161 | --But what other thing? |
| 20161 | --Did not Robinson see that he could use the time saved in doing_ something else_? |
| 20161 | --Do you believe that two would be too much for your share of the army and navy expenses? |
| 20161 | --Do you not know that D---- has started a magnificent establishment very useful to the country, but which loses much money every year? |
| 20161 | --Do you now understand that yourself? |
| 20161 | --Do you recollect how Robinson Crusoe, having no saw, set to work to make a plank? |
| 20161 | --Even_ raw materials_? |
| 20161 | --Exactly, and with what? |
| 20161 | --How can it be true? |
| 20161 | --How can our manufactories compete with foreign ones which have these_ raw materials_ free? |
| 20161 | --How do you harmonize this mass of contradictions? |
| 20161 | --How much did you pay for this wine? |
| 20161 | --How much does this suit of clothes cost you? |
| 20161 | --How much would it have cost you if you had gotten the cloth from Belgium? |
| 20161 | --How much would you have paid outside the city gates? |
| 20161 | --How? |
| 20161 | --How? |
| 20161 | --I? |
| 20161 | --If they say to you: What, then, is to be done? |
| 20161 | --If they say to you: With what shall we pay? |
| 20161 | --In two folio volumes? |
| 20161 | --Is it not that which,_ for a fixed amount of labor, gives the greatest quantity of cloth_? |
| 20161 | --Is it worth while to relieve a portion from service in order to call out everybody? |
| 20161 | --Just imagine that you are so, and that consequently the majority is not opposed to you, what would you do? |
| 20161 | --On what does this excellent General live? |
| 20161 | --Prudence? |
| 20161 | --So that really it is the consumer who pays the tax? |
| 20161 | --So that what is said of one is true of the other? |
| 20161 | --The whole army? |
| 20161 | --Then a certain quantity of its labor will become inert? |
| 20161 | --Then it is in reality your labor that you exchange for cloth, and French labor that is exchanged for coffee? |
| 20161 | --Then it is not absolutely necessary to make what one consumes? |
| 20161 | --Then why did you not get it there? |
| 20161 | --This denial, then, costs you twenty francs? |
| 20161 | --Thus, according to you, these arguments, which in Robinson''s mouth are so false, are no less so in the mouths of our protectionists? |
| 20161 | --Well, what would you do? |
| 20161 | --What can they do there which will be of service to me? |
| 20161 | --What did he live on during this time? |
| 20161 | --What good do I get from it now? |
| 20161 | --What happened to the ax? |
| 20161 | --What is prohibition? |
| 20161 | --What is restriction? |
| 20161 | --What is that? |
| 20161 | --What is the common name for restriction and prohibition? |
| 20161 | --What is the definite effect of protection? |
| 20161 | --What is the use of these hard words? |
| 20161 | --What next? |
| 20161 | --What''_ something else_''? |
| 20161 | --What, pray? |
| 20161 | --What? |
| 20161 | --When? |
| 20161 | --Where did the principal go? |
| 20161 | --Where do they go? |
| 20161 | --Which is best for a nation, to have the choice of these two ways, or to have the law forbid its using one of them at the risk of rejecting the best? |
| 20161 | --Who established the_ octroi_? |
| 20161 | --Whom did you support for Deputy? |
| 20161 | --Why are men so attached to the protective system? |
| 20161 | --Why do you say_ apparent_? |
| 20161 | --Why not? |
| 20161 | --Why this difference? |
| 20161 | --Why? |
| 20161 | --Why? |
| 20161 | --With what? |
| 20161 | --You are jesting, my dear Mr. Collector; have I a vote in the legislative halls? |
| 20161 | --You mean to say to D----? |
| 20161 | And I now ask, of what benefit, under these circumstances, is the railroad? |
| 20161 | And all this for what? |
| 20161 | And do not they use the English words_ drawback_ and_ budget_? |
| 20161 | And for those who are not deceived, what can be more_ forced_, since, at the first refusal to pay, the officer is at our doors? |
| 20161 | And the remedy? |
| 20161 | And then, if it is so, who would lend these instruments, these materials, these provisions? |
| 20161 | And to what does all this tend? |
| 20161 | And upon what have these pretensions been based? |
| 20161 | And what direct benefit do the people derive from it? |
| 20161 | And what has been the result? |
| 20161 | And what more calculated to mislead opinion than writings, which, while they proclaim free trade, support the doctrines of monopoly? |
| 20161 | And why do they sell cheaper than you do? |
| 20161 | And why does not the fertility of one department paralyze the agriculture of a neighboring and less favored one? |
| 20161 | And why? |
| 20161 | And why? |
| 20161 | And yet what analogy can exist between an exchange and an invasion? |
| 20161 | And yet what has been witnessed during eighteen centuries? |
| 20161 | And, as for ourselves, what would become of us? |
| 20161 | Anyhow, who says that the balance of trade is not in their favor, and that we are not compelled to pay them a tribute in money? |
| 20161 | Are there not in Paris thirty thousand Germans who make clothes and shoes? |
| 20161 | Are there relations only between iron and those who make it? |
| 20161 | Are they better dressed because there are_ fewer_ goods? |
| 20161 | Are we agriculturists? |
| 20161 | Are we iron- workers? |
| 20161 | Are we manufacturers of cotton goods? |
| 20161 | Are we physicians? |
| 20161 | Are we vine- growers? |
| 20161 | Are you sick? |
| 20161 | As might be expected, James at this proposal did not fail to cry out,"How can you think of such a thing, William? |
| 20161 | At the end of a year, says M. Thoré, will you find an additional crown in a bag of a hundred pounds? |
| 20161 | At the end of fourteen years, will your shillings have doubled in your bag? |
| 20161 | Better warmed because there is_ less_ coal? |
| 20161 | But Kouang persisted and said:"My Lord, what is your object?" |
| 20161 | But are you certain, in laying down your principles, so antagonistic to ours, that you too are not building up theories? |
| 20161 | But by what do we measure our well- being? |
| 20161 | But can it be thus with errors which affect the moral world? |
| 20161 | But do they protect you, workmen? |
| 20161 | But do you not think it is a little strong? |
| 20161 | But have they ever thought of saying that fire was no longer a scourge, since there were insurance companies? |
| 20161 | But how is this? |
| 20161 | But how will you manage it? |
| 20161 | But if not, of what use is it? |
| 20161 | But if the neighboring country districts had established this_ octroi_ for their profit, what would happen? |
| 20161 | But in trade, do two_ equal_ values cease to be equal, because one comes from the plough, and the other from the workshop?" |
| 20161 | But in what is this manifested? |
| 20161 | But is it not your system which has perverted everything, both institutions and ideas? |
| 20161 | But is there no simpler variety of robbery? |
| 20161 | But is this a complete view of the subject? |
| 20161 | But it may be said, are then the benefits of free trade so hidden as to be perceptible only to economists by profession? |
| 20161 | But must we conclude from this that Athens and Rome were inhabited only by dishonest persons? |
| 20161 | But what are these humors, or are there any humors at all? |
| 20161 | But what becomes of the poor cloth manufacturer? |
| 20161 | But what can I do to help him? |
| 20161 | But which? |
| 20161 | But who has ever made such an exorbitant pretension in its name? |
| 20161 | But who reaps the advantage of this liberality of Nature? |
| 20161 | But why does he dispute the utility of that which belongs to us? |
| 20161 | But why? |
| 20161 | But with what, it may be asked, will they be remunerated? |
| 20161 | But, gentlemen, do you believe that merchants''books are good in practice? |
| 20161 | But, then, you will say,"What is the use of this treatise? |
| 20161 | But, you will say, where is the advantage? |
| 20161 | Butter? |
| 20161 | By the_ result_ of our effort, or by the_ effort itself_? |
| 20161 | By what law is the rate of these remunerative services established? |
| 20161 | Can Paris compete with Normandy in raising cows? |
| 20161 | Can Paris produce wood as cheaply as the forest of Bondy, or meat at as low price as Poitou, or butter as easily as Normandy? |
| 20161 | Can any one imagine that all these objects of consumption can be thus left untouched by the masses, without lowering prices? |
| 20161 | Can he so direct the affairs of mortals, that they can only renounce war and injustice by, at the same time, renouncing their own welfare? |
| 20161 | Can it be explained how such a system could be connected with the constantly increasing prosperity of these nations? |
| 20161 | Can we be astonished at this when the public pay no attention to it? |
| 20161 | Can you claim that an export duty is not onerous? |
| 20161 | Can you conceive of one product being_ worth_ another, if, in the barter, one of the parties is not_ free_? |
| 20161 | Can you possibly conceive of political economy without society? |
| 20161 | Can you possibly conceive that one of the contracting parties is deprived of his liberty unless he is oppressed by the other? |
| 20161 | Can you possibly conceive the idea of_ value_, except as the result of the_ free_ consent of the exchangers? |
| 20161 | Certainly; do you not see that France would be a loser, if you were to receive twenty bundles instead of fifteen? |
| 20161 | Could a more mournful picture of the world be imagined than this?" |
| 20161 | Could we not have attained the same end by lowering the tariff to five francs? |
| 20161 | DOES PROTECTION RAISE THE RATE OF WAGES? |
| 20161 | Did you never think of this when seeing nine- tenths of your countrymen deprived during the winter of that superior cloth that you make? |
| 20161 | Do n''t you know fraternity has been proclaimed? |
| 20161 | Do n''t you know that a loan ought to be gratuitous? |
| 20161 | Do n''t you know that capital is naturally unproductive? |
| 20161 | Do not they borrow from her the sophisms of protection? |
| 20161 | Do not they favor the views of the Custom House officers, who gain more than anybody else by this protective_ regime_? |
| 20161 | Do not they form a part of his sad destiny? |
| 20161 | Do not they parody Bentinck and the British aristocracy? |
| 20161 | Do not they serve the greed of Lille, and the manufacturing North? |
| 20161 | Do not you compete with one another? |
| 20161 | Do not you see that we create you labor?" |
| 20161 | Do not you see what a great service you render to the country? |
| 20161 | Do they have equal opportunities for mental and moral improvement? |
| 20161 | Do two houses which are precisely alike necessarily rent for the same sum? |
| 20161 | Do we attack their principles? |
| 20161 | Do we not hear it said every day,"Foreign nations are inundating us with their productions"? |
| 20161 | Do we not see workmen destroying and breaking machinery? |
| 20161 | Do we prove our doctrine? |
| 20161 | Do you ask who will furnish you work? |
| 20161 | Do you know why the principle of right of inheritance is thus called in question? |
| 20161 | Do you lay down your pen to take up the blacking- brush in order to avoid paying tribute to the shoe- black? |
| 20161 | Do you not see that 48,000 hectares of land, with capital and labor in proportion, will suffice to furnish sugar to all France? |
| 20161 | Do you not still love equality? |
| 20161 | Do you propose to compare modern commerce to mere exchanges? |
| 20161 | Do you raise your hand against it? |
| 20161 | Do you say, it is not possible that an entire nation could see an_ increase of riches_ where the inhabitants plundered one another? |
| 20161 | Do you see the consequences? |
| 20161 | Do you think that I shall amuse myself by selling my wood at the price of other wood? |
| 20161 | Do you want I should leave you without an answer? |
| 20161 | Do you wish the proof of this? |
| 20161 | Do you wish to know whether you are rich? |
| 20161 | Does he not require of me more than his due? |
| 20161 | Does he not take it furtively, or by force? |
| 20161 | Does it follow that our labor, as a whole, is thereby diminished? |
| 20161 | Does it not appear plainly enough, in fact, that Peter asks of Paul a new and an additional service; one of a different kind? |
| 20161 | Does it not exist independently of this circumstance? |
| 20161 | Does not common sense say that the conditions must be equalized by a protecting duty? |
| 20161 | Does not even the weakest writer devote himself to the well- being of the laboring classes? |
| 20161 | Does not the manufacturer also call upon nature to assist him? |
| 20161 | Does not your housekeeper cease to make her bread at home, as soon as she finds it more economical to buy it from the baker? |
| 20161 | Does progress consist in the relative increase of the second or of the first term of this proportion? |
| 20161 | Does she not constantly aspire to universal supremacy? |
| 20161 | Does the agriculturist make his own clothes? |
| 20161 | Does the tailor produce the grain which he consumes? |
| 20161 | Does this make your hair stand? |
| 20161 | Does this mean that they are no longer robbed? |
| 20161 | Dupin? |
| 20161 | Everybody, do you understand? |
| 20161 | Exactly such a degree of wisdom do we exhibit, when at the expense of millions, we strive to preserve our country.... From what? |
| 20161 | Firstly, this is impossible; and, again, were it possible, how could such a system give relief? |
| 20161 | For the good of whom? |
| 20161 | For what tariff protects the poor? |
| 20161 | From their point of view, what could you do with them? |
| 20161 | Has it been so? |
| 20161 | Has it ever been pretended, is it possible to maintain, that scarcity can be the basis of a man''s happiness? |
| 20161 | Has it fallen from the moon? |
| 20161 | Has it none with those who use it? |
| 20161 | Has not Mr. Bugeaud said,"Let bread be dear and the agriculturist will be rich"? |
| 20161 | Has not Mr. d''Argout produced the fruitfulness of the sugar culture as an argument against it? |
| 20161 | Has not Mr. de Saint Cricq said,"Production is superabundant"? |
| 20161 | Has there ever been a religion more favorable to peace or more universally received than Christianity? |
| 20161 | Have I not a right to look upon your argument as a mere pretext? |
| 20161 | Have you never thought that you practice on your brothers the most iniquitous spoliation?" |
| 20161 | He casts it into the_ national_ circulation, and receives in exchange-- what? |
| 20161 | He ran to pick it up? |
| 20161 | How can agriculture flourish there? |
| 20161 | How can each day bring just what is necessary, nothing less, nothing more, to this gigantic market? |
| 20161 | How can that be true which is so very simple? |
| 20161 | How can they restrain these acts of spoliation when these very acts are raised by public opinion to the level of the highest virtues? |
| 20161 | How does this come about? |
| 20161 | How has this delusive figure of speech introduced itself into the rhetoric of monopolists? |
| 20161 | How in such an hypothesis could laborious production be regretted? |
| 20161 | How many are there at this time, when our domestic sugar supplies one- third of the consumption of the country? |
| 20161 | How many hectares were planted in beets in the year 1828? |
| 20161 | How then has it happened, that in the eyes at once of laborers, editors and statesmen, abundance should appear alarming, and scarcity advantageous? |
| 20161 | How, but by metaphors? |
| 20161 | How, for instance, can they expect us to make milk and butter in Paris as against Brittany and Normandy? |
| 20161 | How, it may be exclaimed, can such a question be asked? |
| 20161 | How, then, are they kept in darkness? |
| 20161 | I ask you then why this bag of wool is worth a hundred francs? |
| 20161 | I ask you to do me a service; what service do you ask of me in return? |
| 20161 | I had this question to determine:"Why does any article made, for instance, at Brussels, bear an increased price on its arrival at Paris?" |
| 20161 | I re- elect the General to give away my wine to Africans and manufacturers? |
| 20161 | I say to them as Harpagon did to Elise, Is it the_ word_ or the_ thing_ that alarms you? |
| 20161 | If foreign nations are not allowed to render services to us, how shall we render them the service of bread? |
| 20161 | If religion has been impotent, if philosophy is powerless, how is war to cease? |
| 20161 | If this goes on, we shall all be ruined in three years, and what will become of the poor people? |
| 20161 | If this tax was remitted, would you not get work yourselves, and on your own account too? |
| 20161 | If you only do me a service for the sake of receiving one from me in return, what merit would you have? |
| 20161 | If you open the doors to these rival products, what will become of the wood cutters, pork dealers, and cattle drivers? |
| 20161 | If you please, what do you propose to do with them? |
| 20161 | If, then, there be a general diminution of comforts, how, workmen, can it be possible that_ your_ portion should be increased? |
| 20161 | In the inquiry, the operatives themselves explained this phenomenon thus:"What is the use of pinching? |
| 20161 | In this case, shall I not be living at the expense of others? |
| 20161 | In this social arrangement, is there not a monstrous evil to be reformed? |
| 20161 | In what does it consist? |
| 20161 | Is all ended there? |
| 20161 | Is each one as well provided with it as he might and should be? |
| 20161 | Is it certain that we will do this rather than that? |
| 20161 | Is it consistent with the nature of things, and with justice, that capital should produce interest? |
| 20161 | Is it consistent with the nature of things, and with justice, that the interest of capital should be perpetual? |
| 20161 | Is it necessary then seriously to criticise such abuses of language? |
| 20161 | Is it not an incontestable maxim in political economy, that taxes must, in the end, fall upon the consumer? |
| 20161 | Is it not because this is its price of production? |
| 20161 | Is it not natural that each should keep what he has made with his own hands, as well as his hands themselves? |
| 20161 | Is it not nature which_ creates_ them? |
| 20161 | Is it not plain that if this Poitevin industry were planted in Paris, it would open new fields to Parisian labor? |
| 20161 | Is it not that which has caused stoppages; and do not stoppages, in their turn, lower wages? |
| 20161 | Is it not the borrower first, and finally, the consumers of the things which the capitals contribute to produce? |
| 20161 | Is it not to cause justice to rule among all? |
| 20161 | Is it not to hold the balance even between all rights, all liberties, and all property? |
| 20161 | Is it not to prevent and to repress oppression and robbery wherever they are found? |
| 20161 | Is it not true that if we admit butter, wood, and meat, we shall be inundated with them, and die of a plethora? |
| 20161 | Is it not true that this pretended reform would overthrow all existences? |
| 20161 | Is it not true, Sire, that if Utopians were to suddenly demand the freedom of the right hand, they would spread alarm throughout the country? |
| 20161 | Is it not very convenient to apply to him?" |
| 20161 | Is it possible for you to conceive of the free consent of two parties without liberty? |
| 20161 | Is it the cloth- manufacturer who has created the laws of gravitation, transmission of forces and of affinities? |
| 20161 | Is it the essential thing_ to make it, or to have it_? |
| 20161 | Is it true that protection, which avowedly raises prices, and thus injures you, raises proportionably the rate of wages? |
| 20161 | Is its definite and only destination to be produced? |
| 20161 | Is not leisure an essential spring in the social machine? |
| 20161 | Is not this pure and unadulterated_ Sisyphism_? |
| 20161 | Is rest nothing? |
| 20161 | Is that called selling? |
| 20161 | Is that just? |
| 20161 | Is that the road to_ supremacy_, for foreigners? |
| 20161 | Is the consumption of cloth a fixed and invariable quantity? |
| 20161 | Is there a more potent moral influence than religion? |
| 20161 | Is there any other rule for international exchanges? |
| 20161 | Is there any safety but in the bounty? |
| 20161 | Is there, then, no means of repealing this unjust measure that Pierre and his colleagues adopted twenty years ago? |
| 20161 | Is this credible? |
| 20161 | Is this possible? |
| 20161 | Is this saying that it will ever reach zero? |
| 20161 | Is this too bold a request on my part? |
| 20161 | It is, then, with Mr. Lestiboudois that we will argue, for how is it possible to do so with Mr. Gauthier? |
| 20161 | It may be asked,"Why this ugly word-- spoliation? |
| 20161 | It seems to me that I was unwise in making him my agent; for what is there in common between the General of an army and the poor owner of a vineyard? |
| 20161 | L. You have secured twenty hogsheads of wine? |
| 20161 | Let them learn this lesson, then; doubtless, capitals are good for those who possess them: who denies it? |
| 20161 | Let us then suppose a producer of whatever kind; what is his immediate interest? |
| 20161 | Meat? |
| 20161 | Men are not as well provided for, of course, but shall we blame freedom or the bad harvest? |
| 20161 | Milk? |
| 20161 | Moreover, gentlemen, is it not very likely, as Mr. Lestiboudois said, that we buy these Poitevin salted meats, not with our income, but our capital? |
| 20161 | Mr. Simiot puts this question: Ought the railroad from Paris into Spain to present a break or terminus at Bordeaux? |
| 20161 | Mr. de Saint Cricq has asked:"Are we sure that our foreign customers will buy from us as much as they sell us?" |
| 20161 | Naturally I should seek to solve this problem:"How shall I best procure the iron necessary for my business with the least possible amount of labor?" |
| 20161 | Now I ask, are the people under the action of these laws better fed because there is_ less_ bread,_ less_ meat, and_ less_ sugar in the country? |
| 20161 | Now what conclusion does Mr. Lestiboudois draw from the sums entered into the custom- house, in this operation? |
| 20161 | Now, what does this prove? |
| 20161 | Now, who is it that profits by the reduction of interest? |
| 20161 | Of these two processes, which is the more efficient aid to social progress? |
| 20161 | Of these two ways, which is the best? |
| 20161 | Of what avail is the freedom of purchasing, if you have not the means? |
| 20161 | Of what direct benefit to the people are your porcelains and tapestries, and your expositions? |
| 20161 | On what depends the_ demand_ for labor? |
| 20161 | On what does the rate of wages depend? |
| 20161 | Or do they prosper better in their labor because iron, copper, tools and machinery are scarce? |
| 20161 | Or of exchange without a relative value between the two articles, or the two services, exchanged? |
| 20161 | Or of society without exchange? |
| 20161 | Otherwise, why should he have made it? |
| 20161 | Perhaps you have never read the_ Moniteur Industriel_? |
| 20161 | Public opinion alone can overturn such a structure of iniquity; but where can it begin, if each stone is_ tabooed_? |
| 20161 | Reader, can you honestly say that you understand the reason of this? |
| 20161 | Said the Emperor to Kouang:"What do you think of this?" |
| 20161 | Shall I prohibit the importation of houses by land and by sea?" |
| 20161 | Shall it be done by closing the manufactories of tapestry and stopping the exhibitions? |
| 20161 | Some say to us: You are, then, partisans of the_ let alone_ policy? |
| 20161 | Tell me, is that probable? |
| 20161 | That accounts for one hogshead, but the five others? |
| 20161 | That the soil be fertile, and the sun beneficent: and what is the result? |
| 20161 | That which a man has produced, he may consume, exchange, or give; what can be more natural than that he should give it to his children? |
| 20161 | The exchange can not be effected in kind; so what does Paul do? |
| 20161 | The general prosperity has gained by this, doubtless, but have the shoemakers and tailors, individually, lost anything by it? |
| 20161 | Then what is left to your female subjects except tobacco? |
| 20161 | There are the landowners; what is their interest? |
| 20161 | There are the manufacturers; what is their constant thought? |
| 20161 | These have been closed by a pitiless philanthropy; and under what pretext? |
| 20161 | They can not negotiate; the transaction favorable to both can not take place, and then what happens? |
| 20161 | They talk to you a great deal upon the_ artificial_ organization of labor;--do you know why they do so? |
| 20161 | This is an important difficulty, and how is it put aside? |
| 20161 | To milk and steadily milk, a cow gives more milk; for who can tell the moment when not a drop more can be obtained? |
| 20161 | To use without recompense the hands of another, I call slavery; to use without recompense the plane of another, can this be called fraternity? |
| 20161 | To what purpose would be our great standing armies, and our powerful navies, if commerce were free? |
| 20161 | To which of these last two circumstances is the first to be attributed? |
| 20161 | Until when will we persist in shutting our eyes upon the following simple truth? |
| 20161 | Upon what principle of justice can it be devoted to the realization of_ your_ enterprise instead of_ mine_?" |
| 20161 | Very well, but are not these prices raised by the increase of the demand? |
| 20161 | Was he the richer for this course? |
| 20161 | Was it necessary to insinuate that we are the agents of England? |
| 20161 | Well, and in this respect is not the revolution of February a hard lesson? |
| 20161 | Well, and what matters that? |
| 20161 | Well, because you are workmen, are you not intelligent and moral? |
| 20161 | Well, do you see? |
| 20161 | Well, if I do you this service, what will you do for me in return?" |
| 20161 | Well, then, is slavery invulnerable? |
| 20161 | What better guarantee of its perpetuity than to make even doubt sacrilege? |
| 20161 | What can they make the earth produce, with the expectation of profit? |
| 20161 | What did I say? |
| 20161 | What difference, then, can we possibly discover to exist between the Bordalese petitioners and the Corypheus of restriction? |
| 20161 | What do these words mean? |
| 20161 | What do they do? |
| 20161 | What do they protect in France? |
| 20161 | What do you find? |
| 20161 | What do you mean? |
| 20161 | What do you really want? |
| 20161 | What do_ we_ maintain? |
| 20161 | What goes on there, and what is decided upon? |
| 20161 | What has become of the cultivation of indigo by the blacks? |
| 20161 | What has that to do with your butter? |
| 20161 | What have you to say?". |
| 20161 | What if I could get them to perform the odious act on the frontier which I was about to do myself?" |
| 20161 | What if I should make the interest of the law, of the magistrate, of the public authorities, my interests? |
| 20161 | What is capital, then? |
| 20161 | What is its rational and moral mission? |
| 20161 | What is law, or at least what ought it to be? |
| 20161 | What is our course under these circumstances? |
| 20161 | What is that? |
| 20161 | What is the destiny of women in France? |
| 20161 | What is the objection they adduce against free trade? |
| 20161 | What is the question? |
| 20161 | What is there astonishing in this? |
| 20161 | What is your second section? |
| 20161 | What is, in fact, the prohibitive system? |
| 20161 | What is_ interest_? |
| 20161 | What matters it? |
| 20161 | What more do you want? |
| 20161 | What more is effected by the miller who converts it into flour, or by the baker who makes it into bread? |
