40429	In this dilemma, what does this most sagacious commander?
40429	The next important question was, In what manner should the new and unlimited supply of money be distributed?
40429	Well, then, if you have no objections, please tell me what you do allow under existing circumstances?
40429	[ 12]"And when the substitution is made"( of a silver for a paper fractional currency),"what will be the consequence?
40429	[ 28][ Note.--This last remark of the learned court embodied a great discovery; for how can there be a representative without something to represent?
40429	and were they, after so doing, to allow the plow to stick fast in the furrow?
40429	said I, aloud,''what art thou good for?
40429	you will say,''are soldiers to be paid with scraps of paper?''

42583	A dramatist of Milton''s own period makes a man of substance reply, in answer to the query,"Can you read and write then?"
42583	And why not?

42583	But how do the facts bear on this matter?
42583	But what is she to do with her 80_l._?...
42583	But will he, and who is to advise him to do so?"
42583	H. S. Fletcher, Incumbent of the parish, and Justice of the Peace?
42583	He said that the smaller Societies had protested loud enough; but, he asked, what cause had they to be afraid of Government competition?
42583	If Savings Banks were worth anything, were they not worth improving?
42583	In Ireland such a bill was really required, and was necessary, to restore confidence in Savings Banks;[80] why not make it apply to Ireland only?
42583	The man said,''You do not mean that this is Lord Spencer?''
42583	Why should not Government open a drapery or a dry- goods store?"
42583	Why should not a similar plan, or at any rate the principle of it, be urged upon private employers?
42583	Why, however, the best should not be made of existing means is at least a fair question?
42583	[ 104]"Suppose any bank should question the way in which their funds had been invested?"
4359	''Is my credit as good as it used to be, or is it less?''

4359	And then we have to ask ourselves the question, can those large private banks be permanent?
4359	And what do we find?
4359	At the present moment how much reserve do you say the Bank of England should keep?
4359	B. as good as he used to be?
4359	But how were those bills to be paid?
4359	But if the Bank had not made these advances, could it have kept its reserve?
4359	But it will be said-- What would be better?
4359	But then what is''cash?''

4359	How then did the German Government obtain this vast power over the Bank?
4359	How would it have been if the letter had not issued at the last moment?
4359	I may be asked,''What does all this reasoning in practice come to?
4359	I shall be at once asked-- Do you propose a revolution?
4359	Is that government sufficient to lend well and keep safe so many millions?
4359	Is that trust justified?
4359	It may be asked, could nothing like this be attempted in England?
4359	It will be asked, what more can be required?
4359	It would be said,''What does A B go into banking for?

4359	Only to discount brokers?
4359	The Governor of the Bank.--May I ask what is your authority for that statement?
4359	The main question is one of fact-- Does not the public mind begin to be anxious and timorous just where I have placed the apprehension point?
4359	The rise in prices must, therefore, be due to an increased demand, and the first question is, to what is that demand due?
4359	To put it more simply-- credit is a set of promises to pay; will those promises be kept?
4359	Two hosts of eager disputants on this subject ask of every new writer the one question-- Are you with us or against us?
4359	We advanced in the space of three months the sum of 45,000,000 L.; and what more than that do you want?
4359	What did you mean by the expression,''the last moment''?
4359	What other system could there be?
4359	What then are these extra demands?
4359	What then ought to be done?
4359	What then, subject to this preliminary explanation, is the amount of legal tender held by our bankers against their liabilities?
4359	Who can define or class the confidential communications of such persons under such circumstances?
4359	Who then is to pour in the new money?
4359	Why does any bank publish an account?
4359	Why should a bank keep any reserve?
4359	Why should there be any great tides of industry, with large diffused profit by way of flow, and large diffused want of profit, or loss, by way of ebb?
4359	and how is this extra reserve to be used?
4359	and is that confidence wise?
4359	could not it, or some modification, help us out of our difficulties?
4359	which bills are second- rate and which first- rate?''
16320	Awful depreciation,is n''t it?
16320	Have ye not read that when the devil goeth out of a man then it teareth him?
16320	If wages be up, how come''em up? 16320 = But silver certificates would not remain at par.= At par with what? 16320 = You admit, then, that the immediate adoption of free coinage would, for a while at least, drive gold abroad?= And what then? 16320 And have we anything to boast of in our own happy land in comparison with France? 16320 And what of it? 16320 And what was the real fact? 16320 BIMETALLISM ABROAD THEDUMP"OF SILVER ASIA''S DEMAND FOR THE PRECIOUS METALS IF NOT SILVER, WHAT?
16320	But is any apology needed?
16320	But suppose there had been a general demonetization of gold instead of silver, how would the ratio have stood then?
16320	But the bullion, the old silver, the scrap heap, will they not ship that to us by billions?
16320	By the way, does not every clear- headed American, know that any system that can not stand agitation is totally unfitted to this country?
16320	Can any one doubt the cause?
16320	Can this great nation coin silver and gold on the same terms, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and maintain a substantial parity?
16320	Could a silver basis do worse?
16320	Did n''t you know that they are really suffering from a scarcity of silver?
16320	Have you heard of any decline in official salaries, taxes, debts, bonds, or mortgages?
16320	How much gold will all these people absorb in the future?
16320	How much lower must prices go before you will admit that gold has gained in purchasing power?
16320	How much more will Asia demand?
16320	How much was produced?
16320	How much, and where will it come from?
16320	How then can they"dump"any on us?
16320	How was it through all these years with the industrial and financial condition of France?
16320	How, indeed, could it be otherwise?
16320	IF NOT SILVER, WHAT?
16320	IS BIMETALLISM PRACTICABLE?
16320	If not, why not?
16320	If so, what is its intrinsic value on Lake Superior?
16320	If so, why did they not do it when a cup, a watch, or a silver god would buy twice as much gold as now?
16320	Is it not the supreme moral duty of those few to give their conclusions to the public?
16320	Is it possible to miss the real cause?
16320	Is it still maintained that the Orientals lack the capacity for such development?
16320	Is that honest?
16320	Is that your idea?
16320	Is there any practical doubt that we should have witnessed all this?
16320	Is there any reason why a like cause should not now produce like effects?
16320	Is there anything in all this to alarm Americans?
16320	Is there in Euclid a demonstration more conclusive?
16320	Is this all supposition?
16320	Mr. Courtney says, in his article in the_ Nineteenth Century_, April, 1893:"Is it true that gold is this stable standard?
16320	Now what are the facts?
16320	OBJECTIONS TO SILVER, AND COMMENTS THEREON DEMONETIZATION OF GOLD RELATIVE PRODUCTION OF GOLD AND SILVER IS BIMETALLISM PRACTICABLE?
16320	Suppose then the"dump"should come and the farm produce go-- what then?
16320	They must all be paid for; and with what?
16320	Was that its intrinsic value?
16320	Well, how much is there, and where is it?
16320	Were our forefathers, then, inferior to us, or on a par with the Mexicans and Chinamen of the present day?
16320	What do they seek for, but the protection of gold as against silver?
16320	What effect has it had upon her commercial, social, and industrial development?
16320	What then has caused the"great depreciation"?
16320	What, then, have been the general results to France?
16320	What, then, is the present value of a commodity of which the world has forty years''supply on hand and all prepared for immediate use?
16320	Where was there ever a crazier scheme than the so- called"Baltimore Plan,"exclusively the work of bankers?
16320	Who will say that it will be a calamity to them to coin$ 200,000,000 more in silver and retire that much of their uncovered paper?
16320	Why do the gold men always stop with that statement and so carefully avoid inquiry into what would follow?
16320	Why should n''t they take what the world willingly gives them?
16320	Why this wonderful steadiness?
16320	Why, then, does not the laborer receive twice as much as he did in 1870?
16320	Why, you ask, shall we cast such profit into the hands of the owners of silver mines?
16320	Why?
16320	Will any sensible man believe that a farmer could pay men as much to produce wheat at$.50 as at$ 1.50?
16320	Will anybody pretend that gold has not changed rapidly in purchasing power within the last twenty years?
16320	Will it take anymore bars to- day at$ 6.90 each?
16320	Will she rob herself of coin, when she has none too much for business, and sell it to us at a loss of 4 cents on the dollar and freight charges?
16320	Will the foreigners give us all these good things?
16320	Would not the same reasoning prove silver unchangeable, and gold the fluctuating metal?
16320	Would you say a bushel of discontent or eighteen inches of friendship?
16320	Would you want your sister to marry a nigger?
16320	that altogether they have not a sixth of what we have?
12784	Am I a free man in England,he exclaims,"and do I become a slave in six hours in crossing the channel?"
12784	''Am I to resist Jacobitism?
12784	Again I ask, who is to be judge when the exigences of trade require it?
12784	Am I a freeman in England, and do I become a slave in six hours by crossing the Channel?
12784	Am I legally punishable for these expressions?
12784	And hath not their Privy- council as great or a greater share in the administration of public affairs?
12784	And have they not the same God for their protector?
12784	And is there even the smallest difference between the two cases?
12784	And yet, I will appeal to you; whether those from England have reason to complain, when they come hither in pursuit of their fortunes?
12784	Are not they to be the purchasers?
12784	Are our Irish understandings indeed so low in his opinion?
12784	Are our people''s"hearts waxed gross"?
12784	Are the properties of the commons of this kingdom better secured by the knight- errantry of that day?
12784	Are they not subjects of the same King?
12784	Are"their ears dull of hearing,"and have"they closed their eyes"?
12784	But can it be proved, on a legal trial, that these particular halfpence were coined by him?
12784	But how can it be supposed, that an ignorant printer can be such a critic?
12784	But what is all this to the present debate?
12784	But what need is there of disputing, when we have positive demonstration of Wood''s fraudulent practices in this point?
12784	But who are these merchants and traders of Ireland that make this report of"the utmost necessity we are under of copper money"?
12784	Could nothing but thy chief reproach Serve for a motto on thy coach?
12784	Do you think I will sell you a yard of tenpenny stuff for twenty of Mr. Wood''s halfpence?
12784	Does not the nation best know its own wants?
12784	Does not the same sun shine on them?
12784	For suppose you go to an alehouse with that base money, and the landlord gives you a quart for four of these halfpence, what must the victualler do?
12784	Has the undaunted spirit, the tremendous voice of------ frightened Wood and his accomplices from any further attempts?
12784	Hath he discovered the longitude or the universal medicine?
12784	Hath he saved any other kingdom at his own expense, to give him a title of reimbursing himself by the destruction of ours?
12784	Have we not able magistrates and counsellors hourly watching over the public weal?"
12784	How have they forfeited their freedom?
12784	How impudent and insupportable is this?
12784	I agree there is a mighty difference, but whom does it make for?
12784	If I employ a shoe- boy, is it in view to his advantage, or to my own convenience?
12784	If I point to it before your eyes, must I be at the trouble of repeating it every morning?
12784	If Wood could coin £40,000, what was to prevent him coining £200,000?
12784	If a physician prescribes to a patient a dram of physic, shall a rascal apothecary cram him with a pound, and mix it up with poison?
12784	If his copper were diamonds, and the kingdom were entirely against it, would not that be sufficient to reject it?
12784	In the name of common sense, what are we to believe?
12784	Is not their Parliament as fair a representative of the people as that of England?
12784	Is not this the very misery we complain of?
12784	Lastly, In what points relating to liberty and property, the people of Ireland differ, or at least ought to differ, from those of England?
12784	Must a committee of the House of Commons, and our whole Privy- council go over to argue_ pro_ and_ con_ with Mr. Wood?
12784	Must even that give way to your desire to tyrannize?''"
12784	Must not all the world conclude somebody had forgot the oath of a grand juryman?
12784	Or rather has not the ready compliance of------ encouraged them to further trials?
12784	Or would the matter be referred to the Privy- Council or to Westminster- hall, the two Houses of Parliament plaintiffs, and William Wood defendant?
12784	Or, whether the people of Ireland have reason to boast, when they go to England on the same design?
12784	Some are afraid of a proclamation, others shrug up their shoulders, and cry,"What would you have us do?"
12784	Then what becomes of your Protestant succession?
12784	Then what becomes of your doctrine of Ireland''s dependency?''
12784	Thirdly, What is really and truly meant by that phrase of"a depending kingdom,"as applied to Ireland; and wherein that dependency consisteth?
12784	This I mention, because I know it will readily be objected,"What have private men to do with the public?
12784	To what end did the King give his patent for coining of halfpence in Ireland?
12784	Was it with the parliament or people of Ireland?
12784	We are answered that this patent is lawful, but is it expedient?
12784	Were not the people of Ireland born as free as those of England?
12784	What call had a Drapier to turn politician, to meddle in matters of state?
12784	What could be done more to express the universal sense and opinion of the nation?
12784	What must the consequence be?
12784	What then?
12784	What was the King''s prerogative?
12784	Who are his supporters, abettors, encouragers, or sharers?
12784	Who are this wretch''s advisers?
12784	With whom?
12784	Would any minister dare advise him against recalling such a patent?
12784	Would not his time have been better employed in looking to his shop; or his pen in writing proverbs, elegies, ballads, garlands, and wonders?
12784	Yes sure, or his own, or worse.--But suppose they should ask a juror a question might criminate himself?
12784	[ 15] Who were the witnesses to prove it, hath been shewn already, but in the name of God, Who are to be judges?
12784	or,''Am I to become a Jacobite, if England bids me?
55099	Conferences--in bureaucracy-- come high, do n''t they?
55099	And do you like a gold basis buried so deep that you ca n''t even see, nor get, a stiver of it?
55099	And upon whom did this Tragedy bear the hardest?
55099	Are these strutting, preening, vociferating and vociferous Federal Reserve bankers measured-- or measurable-- by that standard?
55099	Ask yourself, is a tax of$ 59,974,466, which costs$ 62,896,139 to collect a"painless tax?"
55099	But ask yourself if, in a year of commercial disasters and of enforced economies, such leviathan expenses are n''t an outrage?
55099	But did they stop there-- after commandeering over$ 100,000,000 of capital and after conscripting over$ 1,800,000,000 of deposits?
55099	But it''s a pretty good example, is n''t it?
55099	Can any sane or honest man-- outside the ranks of its lolling beneficiaries-- defend any such division of profits as fair or just or equitable?
55099	Do they battle for their deposits and by those deposits and the volume of them win their spurs?
55099	Do you favor it?
55099	Do you know or do you know anybody who does know, or have you a friend who knows of anybody who knows of any such gigantic banking predacity on earth?
55099	Do you suppose that officers of any bank not legally so buttressed could"get away"with any such proposition?
55099	Do you want capital commandeered at 6 per cent by the use of which are wrung out profits as high as 160 per cent?
55099	Do you want deposits-- over$ 1,800,000,000--conscripted at no per cent loaned out at interest charges as high as 87 per cent?
55099	Do you want pawnbrokering interest rates charged and Shylockery practiced under the aegis of your flag?
55099	Do you want such a Partiality of Pillage whereby parasitical speculation is coddled and the necessary production of real wealth is throttled?
55099	Do you want such titanic expense accounts and such altitudinous salaries paid to favored bank officers?
55099	Do you want the very height and apex of Special Privilege enthroned and sceptered governing your Republic?
55099	Do you want to witness, or be victimized by, Debacles of Drastic Deflation with all the destructions, miseries and disasters in their wake?
55099	Do you want unelected and politically appointed satraps parceling out and administering your Nation in twelve satrapies?
55099	Do you want your Government to continue its abdication of finance and to continue to be but a mere puppet in the hands of an organized Money- Bund?
55099	Gives you an attack of vertigo, does n''t it?
55099	How do you like to have your money commandeered for capital and get for one year less than one dollar out of twenty- five dollars made?
55099	If the Federal Reserve System could-- as it could-- commandeer capital, could n''t it commandeer and conscript deposits?
55099	If the law-- cleverly lobbied through your Congress-- didn''t compel you to do it, would you do it?
55099	If this is n''t strutting bureaucracy running amuck with public money, what is it?
55099	Impossible, you say?
55099	Is n''t one proposition as sane as the other?
55099	Is that"democratizing"banking or is it bourbonizing banking?
55099	Is that"emancipating credit"or is it shackling it with you wearing the shackles?
55099	Is there any more painful tax levied on American industry?
55099	Is this twenty- to- one shot"conserving the nation''s resources"or is it practicing the arts of thuggery upon the real production of real wealth?
55099	Is this"binding up the nation''s wounds"of finance or is it blood- letting to the point of exhaustion?
55099	Is this"credit emancipation"or is it the sandbagging of industry?
55099	It makes some difference whose money is being spent, does n''t it?
55099	Legal?
55099	Not even organized Federal Reserve banditry, not even Amalgamated Shylockery, would have the supernal gall to so sandbag productive industry?
55099	Not much competition for Federal Reserve bankers there, is there?
55099	Ought n''t the Federal Reserve Bank at Atlanta to put the three ball sign of pawnbrokery over its portals?
55099	Ought the real providers of the real capital, upon which stupendous profits were made, to be fobbed off with_ one- thirtieth_ of its real earnings?
55099	Ought their money to be commandeered at 6 per cent, profiteered upon at 160 per cent and they be practically sandbagged out of 154 per cent?
55099	Private business is one thing, and public business is another thing, when it comes to housing it, is n''t it?
55099	Quite some money to suck from the teat of industry, is n''t it?
55099	Really, do n''t you?
55099	Some gall?
55099	Some luscious salaries nesting and nestling there-- to which reference will hereafter be made-- aren''t there?
55099	That is, do you know of any reason except your legal helplessness and the bottomless greed of Federal Reserve sandbaggery?
55099	That''s plain, is n''t it?
55099	Was that banking or was it putrid pawnbrokery?
55099	Were Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln all wrong when they warned you against special privileges and the encroachments of massed wealth?
55099	What became of the lootage of the Federal Reserve System for the year 1921 and what proportion of it did your Government get?
55099	What became of this huge lootage wrung from America''s brawn and brain for the year 1920?
55099	What is the absolute, final and unquestionable test of a good banker, a real top notcher in his business?
55099	What makes them responsible?
55099	What price did Federal Reserve lootage pay for this commandeered capital?
55099	What was the bludgeon which hit all these commodities on the head and drove them into the pit of loss?
55099	When an arrogant creature overrides and oppresses its creators, ought n''t it to be sternly regulated or destroyed?
55099	When the misbranded"emancipator of credit"becomes the destroyer of credit, ought n''t the destroyed to emancipate themselves?
55099	When there was this drouth of credit and money where real wealth is made, how was the Federal Reserve System opening its irrigation gates of money?
55099	When you were befooled into creating the Federal Reserve System, did you create a Frankenstein monster for your own industrial destruction?
55099	Which are really the better and more necessary bankers-- the National and State bankers or the Federal Reserve System of parasitical camouflage?
55099	Who are really entitled to the largest loans from the huge storage or reservoir of Federal Reserve money?
55099	Why do n''t editors of"Fearless Magazines"--about as"fearless"as a galley slave at the oars-- ring the tocsin of alarm?
55099	Why do n''t you find these facts elsewhere?
55099	Why does n''t the"Independent Press"--about as"independent"as a shackled slave-- blazon them forth?
55099	Why have they been hidden from you?
55099	Why should they be restricted to a 6 per cent dividend when these Federal Reserve Banks"earned"160 per cent or over 25 times as much?
55099	Why, the real producers of the real wealth, the agricultural interests in the U.S.A. Have they had it?
55099	Why?
55099	Would you of your own free will provide capital at 6 per cent and be gypped out of 154 per cent?
39003	And now, Mr. President, how many of all those alarming prognostications by all these distinguished prophets have been fulfilled?
39003	And on the other hand, is it not equally manifest that for an insufficient supply there is no remedy?
39003	And whether gold, silver, and paper are not tickets or counters for reckoning, recording, or transferring such denominations?
39003	Are they going to invest it in France?
39003	Are they going to invest it in Great Britain?
39003	Are they going to the Cape of Good Hope to invest it?
39003	But how infinitely more important is it that money, which is the measurer of all other measures, should itself be unchanged?
39003	But how is it in our day?
39003	But what shall be said in defense of the demonetization of silver by the United States?
39003	But who will buy it at a premium?
39003	CAN THE UNITED STATES ALONE HOLD THE METALS AT A PARITY?
39003	Can there be a doubt that the abrupt output of so large a quantity would have the effect of immediately and enormously depreciating its value?
39003	Do they not reflect that the production of gold is constantly diminishing and is likely to continue to diminish?
39003	Does anybody show where the flood of silver is to come from?
39003	Does the Senator mean to be understood that the falling of prices is an absolute demonstration of the increased value of the money without limitation?
39003	For what purpose is it needed?
39003	HAS SILVER FALLEN?
39003	How many people ever so"convert"it that earn it?
39003	IF SILVER REMAIN DEMONETIZED AND GOLD CONTINUE DECREASING, WHERE IS THE WORLD''S FUTURE MONEY SUPPLY TO COME FROM?
39003	IF$ 2,500,000 SILVER PER MONTH HAS NOT DRIVEN OUT GOLD, HOW MUCH WILL DO SO?
39003	IS AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT NECESSARY?
39003	If great mountains of silver should be discovered, does not Congress meet constantly?
39003	If it be conceivable that the demonetization of either metal were necessary, why demonetize that which promises the greater and more steady yield?
39003	If its presence is to result in the destruction of equity and justice, who doubts that it should go?
39003	If there should seem to be too much, could not the coinage be readily limited to prevent depreciation?
39003	If they have the gold will they not hold it?
39003	In all this, where would be the disadvantage to our people?
39003	In relation to what, then, is it that silver has fallen?
39003	Is it established that the quantity of actual and prospective gold is such that we can now renounce the use of silver without disaster?
39003	May I ask the Senator a question?
39003	May not the debtors, with much more propriety, denounce the gold dollar of to- day as a 140-cent dollar?
39003	Must they continue declining in order that we may be able to retain all our gold?
39003	On the other hand, what is the demand on gold for the money use?
39003	SHALL WE BE FLOODED WITH SILVER?
39003	Such being the demand for money, what is the supply?
39003	This necessity of the two metals, has it ceased to exist?
39003	WHAT IS MONEY?
39003	WHAT IS THE DEMAND FOR MONEY?
39003	WHAT IS THE DIFFICULTY?
39003	WHAT IS THE SUPPLY OF MONEY?
39003	WHAT PRODUCES A GENERAL FALL OF PRICES?
39003	WHO ARE THE DEBTORS?
39003	WHY WAS THE AUTOMATIC SYSTEM INTERFERED WITH?
39003	Was all Christendom at that time"alongside"India?
39003	Were there fifty or seventy- five years''supply of any other commodity on hand in the market, what would be the commercial value of that commodity?
39003	Were we"alongside"India then?
39003	What are these people who own it going to do with that gold after they have withdrawn it from circulation?
39003	What can Congress do to enlarge that supply?
39003	What does it mean in your hands?
39003	What does it mean in your hands?
39003	What does it mean in your hands?
39003	What proportion of its high price is derived from what is called its greater"intrinsic"value?
39003	What will happen to the civilized world if silver is demonetized and if gold shall then fail?
39003	What will the owners do with it?
39003	What, then, is it that produces a general decline of prices in any country?
39003	Where and in what are they going to invest it?
39003	Where are the reservoirs that contain it?
39003	Where is this tendency to stop?
39003	Where were the wise and patriotic men of our country at those periods?
39003	Where, I would inquire, is the fall of prices to stop?
39003	Who are the borrowers of money?
39003	Who are the debtors in this country?
39003	Who but a bank clerk ever sees a gold piece?
39003	Who is going to pay any premium for it?
39003	Who needs it at all?
39003	Why is gold accepted in every country of the world?
39003	Why is it that gold leaves country and goes to another?
39003	Why is it universal?
39003	Why then shall we wait?
39003	Why this universal failure of all classes to compute correctly in advance their situation on the coming pay- day?
39003	Will it disappear?
39003	Will it not be willingly accepted by those who wish to buy in this country?
39003	Will the Senator yield to me for a question, or does he prefer to go on?
39003	and if it does not stop, how long will it be before the masses of the people become the bond slaves of the creditors?
39003	more money?
39003	per annum and will double in thirty years?
44274	A check on what?
44274	About what?
44274	All right; what do you want to do?
44274	Are you going to turn down all those$ 5 bills?
44274	Are you? 44274 At what time?"
44274	But suppose the properties do n''t make good?
44274	Did they get you? 44274 Did you meet any outsiders there?"
44274	Did you sign that interview which they published?
44274	Do you mean to say that the odds against a man making money on Union Pacific on any given day are only 6 to 5 when he buys the stock_ on margin_?
44274	Do you still bet on the horses?
44274	Do you want a cut?
44274	Do you want them?
44274	Hello,I said,"who is this?"
44274	Hold us?
44274	How am I going to get back to Tonopah and from there to San Francisco?
44274	How am I going to subsist here for a few days until I can begin to make a living?
44274	How can I? 44274 How far do you intend to go?"
44274	How much capital have you got?
44274	How much do you want?
44274	How much would your bank loan the Sullivan Trust Company on its unindorsed paper and at a moment''s notice?
44274	How''s that? 44274 If we only get a few customers to- day and this one wins, what will happen?"
44274	Sullivan,I said,"is n''t it a certainty that the miners will vote the Democratic ticket because Mitchell has been put forward by the mine owners?
44274	Suppose we get stranded out there, what will happen?
44274	Well, what of it?
44274	Well,said I,"how can you lose?
44274	Well?
44274	What are you doing here?
44274	What authority have you for this?
44274	What did you say in your second story?
44274	What do you know about mines?
44274	What theater has a sale of seats to- day?
44274	What will I pay?
44274	What will we do next?
44274	What will we do next?
44274	What will you take to make a report on Ely Central?
44274	What''s my job, and what do I get?
44274	What''s the matter?
44274	What''s the news, Jack?
44274	What''s the purpose of the report?
44274	What''s the trouble?
44274	What''s up?
44274	What? 44274 Where did you buy your information?"
44274	Why do n''t Rice come over here himself, eh? 44274 Why?"
44274	As for myself, what excuse have I had for catering to the gambling instinct?
44274	But what happened to Nipissing?
44274	But what of the public?
44274	C. Goodwin, where he delivered himself somewhat as follows:"What are you fellows trying to do, anyway?
44274	CHAPTER XII THE LESSON OF IT ALL What is the lesson of my experience-- the big broad lesson for the American citizen?
44274	Can you beat that for a layout?
44274	Could it be possible that they themselves were scuttling the ship that had given them such glorious passage?
44274	Custom and practice cover a multitude of remarkable transactions-- don''t they?
44274	Did I fall for Greenwater?
44274	Did I have foresight?
44274	Did I realize that stocks were selling at much higher prices than were warranted by intrinsic worth and speculative value?
44274	Did the Government find any evidence of this in the books?
44274	Did we invariably bet the money of our clients on the horse we named?
44274	Do n''t drowning men grasp at straws?
44274	Do you know that the gambling instinct is responsible for the wonderful growth of the mining industry in the United States?
44274	Do you suppose newspapers presided over by those men are going to say a word against the enterprises of their benefactors?
44274	Do you think we are fools or crazy, or what?
44274	Do you think we are going to stand for any such newspaper notoriety as you are getting and watch it with our arms folded?
44274	Do you think we can sell them in the morning for enough to provide breakfast money?"
44274	Do you want to burn up the money?"
44274	Does_ any_ exist?
44274	Finally I asked,"What is the matter?"
44274	Gans wins, does n''t he?"
44274	HAVE YOU ANY CHANCE AT ALL?
44274	HOW ABOUT THE PUBLIC''S CHANCES?
44274	Has an outraged Government ever raised hue and cry against these eminent captains of industry?
44274	He exclaimed,"Bet?
44274	Holding up both hands, I gasped,"In heaven''s name, what have we done?"
44274	How can you make any money giving out that Silver Coin tip for nothing?"
44274	How many of his trading customers travel that way?
44274	How many words?"
44274	How was it done?
44274	How was this to be accomplished?
44274	How would you like to join us?"
44274	If he is frank, he will shrug his shoulders and reply something like this:"If the game could be beaten, do you think I would be a broker?
44274	If there was a Greenwater boom, how was it that we in Goldfield, who were in touch with all Nevada mining affairs, did not know about it?
44274	Is he?
44274	Is it necessary to spend any money with the Western Federation?"
44274	Is it not the habit of horse- race players when they lose five races in succession to make a plunge bet on the sixth with a view to getting out even?
44274	It''s a foul, is n''t it?
44274	Now, will that satisfy you?
44274	People in Nevada began asking,"Who is Teague?"
44274	Pool- room habitués argued it thus:"If the tip is not''a good thing,''what object in the world would these people have for publishing the ad?
44274	Pushing his fist into the referee''s face, Mr. Sullivan cried:"Now, Siler, you saw that foul, did n''t you?
44274	Shall I wire the Knickerbocker Trust Company to pay you$ 25,000 to support the market?
44274	Slamming his cane down on the big mahogany table, he demanded in stentorian tones:"What in the---- does this---- business mean?
44274	Sullivan._ What guarantee have I got that you wo n''t give Gans the worst of it?
44274	THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA TO COIN MONEY"Do these people make money?"
44274	THE WINNINGS OF A TENDERFOOT What about me?
44274	The man responded,"His name is Jack, ai n''t it?"
44274	This seems certain, for otherwise why this raw press- work?
44274	Turning to Sullivan I said:"Do you know the Goldfield manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company?"
44274	Turning to the demon in charge of the engine, who had now recovered consciousness, Mr. Sullivan cried,"How dare you do a thing like this?"
44274	WHO GOT THE$ 75,000,000?
44274	Was I, in fact, wise to the exact situation and did I realize a smash was bound to ensue?
44274	Was he not talked of as running mate for Mr. Taft, and did he not organize the National League of Republican Clubs two years ago?
44274	What are these impalpable yet cunningly devised tricks that are calculated to fool the wisest and which landed YOU?
44274	What are you trying to put across on us?
44274	What are your chances of winning in any speculation where you play another man''s game?
44274	What difference is there between the respectable multi- millionaire bankers putting across a losing promotion and the little fellow?
44274	What does it mean, suh; what does it mean?"
44274	What has been the attitude of the Department of Justice since the raid was made?
44274	What is the evil of short selling of the kind described herein?
44274	What more natural than that those who were hit hard should now fall over one another to get in on the good things of Rawhide?
44274	What of the camp?
44274	What was the system?
44274	Where did I stand and what was my position at this conjuncture?
44274	Where does real tangible evidence of a conspiracy to defraud in Nipissing exist?
44274	Where does the money go that is lost?
44274	Who did get it?
44274	Who gets it?
44274	Who pays it?
44274	Who pays the freight?
44274	Who profited?

44274	Would n''t it wilt you?
44274	Would people notice it?
44274	Would you believe that without the gambling instinct the development of the great natural resources of this country would be almost impossible?
44274	Would you make an affidavit that you bought the information from us?"
44274	You understand?
34823	What ratio can there be between a quantity and a desire, or even a desire combined with a power?
34823	[ 110] Would the dodo- bones circulate? 34823 ( 2) Why should gold and silver have passed all rival commodities in the competition for employment as money? 34823 )[ 248] Are these figures valid? 34823 186 Meaning of distinction, and extent of qualification hard to determine: isnormal period"real period in time?
34823	Above all, must the assumption involve the doubling of the price of gold bullion?
34823	And do not goods vary greatly in the number of times they are exchanged?
34823	And in what sense is even gold money physically of the same denomination with, say, wheat, or hay or base- ball tickets?
34823	And is not the causal sequence precisely the reverse of that assigned by the quantity theory?
34823	And was it a matter of no consequence that they had an abundant medium of exchange?
34823	And were their banks of no assistance in getting the additional capital of various sorts?
34823	And why have Americans, from the beginning, been constantly increasing commercial banks?
34823	And will not the agio then, in a way, grow out of itself, a bigger agio appearing, because an agio has already appeared?
34823	And will not this tend to divert labor and capital from the creation of a corresponding amount of more wholesome economic goods?
34823	Are all the hundred share sales recorded?
34823	Are insurance policies credit instruments?
34823	Are not corporation securities essentially like_ Geldsurrogate_ from this angle?
34823	Are rates going up?
34823	Are the statements correct?
34823	Are there not commonwealths where there is a ruling price for votes?
34823	Are there not streets where woman''s virtue is sold?
34823	As individualism spreads, and trade grows, will not more and more gold be taken to the mints?
34823	Because they in turn can unload them on still others?
34823	Behind the legal forms and the technical methods, what are the psychological forces at work?
34823	But I raise this question: to what feature of our economic order do we chiefly owe it that we can make such abstractions?
34823	But how can the other prices rise?
34823	But how does one sum up_ pounds_ of_ sugar_,_ loaves_ of_ bread_,_ tons_ of_ coal_,_ yards_ of_ cloth_, etc.?
34823	But how long is the"run"?
34823	But how shall one undertake to give quantitative measure to such a thing as the educational influence of a tariff on silk manufacture?
34823	But if a country is expanding its trade, does not money come in?
34823	But is it not clear that this can not be the whole story?
34823	But is not the causal process essentially the same if we substitute, say, the Southern States for our island, and cotton for our staple?
34823	But is the price- level passive?
34823	But now, can this rise sustain itself?
34823	But second: in what sense is general purchasing power, money and money- funds, of the same denomination as a commodity?
34823	But suppose that there is an agio from other causes, will not the legal tender aspect of money tend to increase it?
34823	But what about value in a situation where there are differences in''purchasing power''?
34823	But what does he mean by values in this connection?
34823	But what is it in economic nature?
34823	But what is meant by the utility of money as money?
34823	But what of society?
34823	But what of the cost of transition?
34823	But which tendency will prevail?
34823	But why would the others want them?
34823	By virtue of what does friction disappear?
34823	By what happy coincidence will these two tendencies work together?
34823	CHAPTER VII DODO- BONES Must money have value from some source outside its money- functions?
34823	CHAPTER XV THE QUANTITY THEORY: THE"PASSIVENESS OF PRICES"Is the price- level passive?
34823	Can we bring all these into our scheme?
34823	Can we similarly generalize dynamics?
34823	Do banks tend to keep fixed ratios between deposits and reserves?
34823	Do individuals, firms, and corporations tend to keep fixed ratios between their cash on hand and their balances in bank?
34823	Do manufacturers''receipts from first sales belong in the wholesale deposits, or must they be counted as a separate item?
34823	Do not the comparative rewards of occupations indicate what inducements will overcome the love of independence, of safety, of good repute?
34823	Do the figures that get into the"all other"deposits from those connected with the Stock Exchange undercount sales made there?
34823	Do these figures, therefore, represent the situation as it existed in 1909?
34823	Does the legal tender aspect of coin count for more?
34823	First, in what sense is there an equality between the ten pounds of sugar and the seventy cents?
34823	For the present, the only question is, has this theory any application at all to the problem of the value of money?
34823	How are these psychological forces modified by the technical forms and methods?
34823	How assimilate the one situation to the other?
34823	How can all this be, on the quantity theory?
34823	How can he tell?
34823	How can such labor be compared?
34823	How construct intersecting curves, presenting a marginal equilibrium?
34823	How describe the equilibrium between the value of gold as money and the value of gold in the arts?
34823	How do these transactions affect Kinley''s figures for deposits, and so Fisher''s total of 387 billions?
34823	How far can the total wealth of the country, agricultural as well as industrial, be brought into the circle of the money market?
34823	How gauge the importance of a new advertising scheme, or a new invention?
34823	How have a ratio between two things not of the same denomination?
34823	How is such a general rise in prices possible, if the quantity theory be true?
34823	How is the individual related to this objective social world?
34823	How is this possible?
34823	How long is a transition period?
34823	How long is"transitional period"?
34823	How measure the dynamic impetus of a new chain of banks on the industry and trade of the region affected?
34823	How realistic is the notion of a transition period?
34823	How reduce labor- cost and capital- cost to homogeneous terms?
34823	How say, then, that labor alone governs value?
34823	How shall we average labor time?
34823	How shall we draw the distinction between the"money- rates"and the long time interest rate on"capital?"
34823	How, then, bring the two together?
34823	How, then, do we stand?
34823	If stock exchange loans lose their liquidity, what of the rest of bank loans?
34823	If the business cycle is the typical transition period, during which his normal theory does n''t hold, when does the normal theory hold?
34823	In what sense are money and sugar homogeneous?
34823	In what sense, then, are the sugar and the money equal?
34823	Indeed, how shall we weigh the dynamic considerations at all?
34823	Is an increase in credit an increase in values?
34823	Is barter banished from the modern world, or does it remain reasonably possible, and, to a considerable degree, actual?
34823	Is credit capital?
34823	Is equation of exchange realistic?
34823	Is it not decidedly too large?
34823	Is it not true, then, that there is_ some_ sort of relation between gold production and world prices?
34823	Is it realistic, or hypothetical?
34823	Is it, for example, legitimate to assume an increase in M ´ apart from its usual accompaniment, an increase in PT?
34823	Is it, however, in economic nature a different transaction from the original one in which he got the note from a borrower?
34823	Is not money circulating rapidly, when business is active, and slowly when business is dull?
34823	Is not the loan of stocks a real credit transaction?
34823	Is not the new equilibrium stable?
34823	Is not the velocity of circulation a highly flexible and variable average, a_ cause_ of nothing, and an index of business activity?
34823	Is not this a rise in general prices from causes outside the equation of exchange?
34823	Is not this the truth?
34823	Is the answer seventy pounds of sugar, or seventy cents, or some new two- dimensional hybrid?
34823	Is the equation of exchange still valid?
34823	Is the equation of exchange, too, a mere hypothesis?
34823	Is the normal period a real period in time, or is it merely a theoretical hypothesis?
34823	Is the transition period a theoretical device, to aid in isolating causes, or is it supposed to be a real period in time?
34823	Is there any commercial paper in this last, not inconsiderable, item?
34823	Is there any reason for limiting the equation at all?
34823	Is there anything else to be said?
34823	Is there not at once an incentive to extend credit?
34823	Is this assumption true?
34823	Is, however, the figure for 1909, 387 billions, an acceptable figure?
34823	Is, then, the contrast between a realistic"transition period"and a hypothetical"normal period"or are both hypothetical?
34823	Must the average of prices be a passive function of M, the V''s, M ´ and T?
34823	Must this old issue be fought all over again?
34823	Now do clearings exceed check deposits in New York City?
34823	Now what difference would be made if we wiped out all these draft transactions, and reduced clearings to correspond?
34823	Or could you even have any value left at all?
34823	Or has our generalization of statics merely narrowed the field of dynamic considerations?
34823	Or what is the causal relation between them?
34823	Or, better, perhaps, are not the V''s and T both governed, in large degree, by more fundamental causes which are largely the same for both?
34823	Precisely what is the distinction between"transition periods"and"normal periods"?
34823	Shall we exclude contracts where the payment of money is made contingent on anything?
34823	Shall we, however, limit credit transactions to cases where a stipulated_ amount_ of money is named in the contract, for a stipulated time?
34823	There are two main questions with which the chapter is concerned:( 1) How did money come to be?
34823	They needed more tools and live- stock, doubtless, but is that the whole story?
34823	To what extent are the loans of this type to farmers liquid?
34823	We return, then, to the question with which we set out: in what sense is there an equality between the two sides of Professor Fisher''s equation?
34823	Well, what can bring it down?
34823	What are the causes controlling the_ mutations_ of values?
34823	What are the economic differences between long and short time loans?
34823	What brings about the crash in economic values( and consequently in prices), in panics and crises?
34823	What can the 245 billions represent?
34823	What causes are_ likely_ to produce changes in market prices?
34823	What could bring about such a system of social relations that a general expectation of this sort could arise?
34823	What did it do with the 85% of the stocks in hundred share lots offered for clearing?
34823	What difference is made by the money market?
34823	What difference is made in values and prices by lending and borrowing?
34823	What do its millions do for a living?
34823	What do such loans mean?
34823	What do these payments represent?
34823	What does it mean to_ multiply_ ten pounds of sugar by seven cents?
34823	What economic force is there, then, to make them circulate?
34823	What else can fall?
34823	What else can take place?
34823	What else is there?
34823	What factors cause values to rise, intensifying economic activity, stimulating trade, spreading prosperity?
34823	What figures are relevant when we wish to compare foreign and domestic trade?
34823	What force would there be to withdraw gold from the arts at all?

34823	What is the significance of this?
34823	What is there to cause them to do so?
34823	What kinds of lending and borrowing are there?
34823	What limitations and qualifications does he admit to the rigorous statement of his theory so far given?
34823	What might then be expected to happen in such a country, if an economic experimenter should disturb them in their habitual quantity of money?
34823	What motive would a speculator have for taking the Greenbacks out of circulation, and hoarding them?
34823	What of endowment policies?

34823	What of the general average of prices, the price-_level_?
34823	What of the general price- level?
34823	What of the values of instrumental goods, of goods of"higher orders,"of labor, of stocks and bonds, of lands, of franchise rights and good will?
34823	What prices can fall?
34823	What shall we say of bank- notes, of bank- deposits, of bills of exchange?
34823	What shall we say of"borrowing and carrying"transactions on the stock exchange?
34823	What sort of product results?
34823	What sorts of credit are appropriate to commerce, to manufacturing, to agriculture?
34823	What theory of money would deny it?

34823	What, however, shall we say of M´V ´ for other years?
34823	What, then, is T?
34823	What, then, shall we say of static theory which seeks to explain the work of money and credit?
34823	What, then, shall we say of the way in which the forces drawing gold from the arts into money manifest themselves?
34823	When are the"normal periods"?
34823	Where are the markets which measure its fluctuations?
34823	Where does one find barter?
34823	Where is a real difference to be found?
34823	Where, among these items, does one find"commercial paper"?
34823	Which habits would give way, those relating to prices, or those to velocities, or those relating to quantities of goods exchanged?
34823	Which theory is true?

34823	Why should more rather than less be withdrawn?
34823	Why should not book- credits, and bills of exchange be included?
34823	Why should there be such a general practice regarding metal disks or pieces of paper?
34823	Why the low values of the period of depression, giving slight stimulus to industry and trade, leaving economic life lethargic, inert?
34823	Why then, will any of the traders give up his valuable commodities for the worthless dodo- bones?
34823	Will not men demand coin, which bears an agio, rather than bullion, when they have the right to demand either?
34823	Will not the economic values which have been destroyed in this moral fervor be recreated?
34823	Will not the prices of Riverside palaces and steam yachts sink and the prices of things which the poor esteem rise?
34823	Will there be compensating reductions in the prices of other things to leave the price- level unchanged?
34823	Will there not be, none the less, a radical readjustment of prices?
34823	Will they go any lower than the old level?
34823	Will this be a rise in the price- level?
34823	Will you say that he will take them, not because he wants them himself, but because he knows that others will take them from him?
34823	Would it make a difference where coinage is restricted?
34823	Would not the capitalization theory apply in the Greenback Period?
34823	Would not the"balance of trade"tend to turn against us, so that gold would tend to leave the country, and the supply of money be reduced?
34823	Would prices rise thus, or would they be held down in some way by the limitations on the quantity of money?

60029	Am I correct?
60029	And again he writes:"Why should a bank keep any reserve?

60029	And it worked in New England under the Suffolk system with 500 individual independent banks-- why wo n''t it work here?
60029	And where are we going to in the Clearing House matter?
60029	Are not these reserves large enough to meet all emergencies?
60029	Are you not convinced that it is not money at all, but a mere debt of Uncle Sam and that it is a mere demand for One Dollar in gold, and nothing more?
60029	Are you ready to report now?
60029	At what price?
60029	But after all, is it not the very soul of the whole question?
60029	But is it so?
60029	But what I want to know now is how many of these meal tickets I''ve got out in one form or another?
60029	But what have you to say about this National Bank Note here?
60029	But who can estimate the indirect losses or depict the consequences of these bank failures?

60029	But why should borrowers in the smaller townships be forced to travel to their shire towns?

60029	Can anyone doubt that all of their banks and all of their business interests would have gotten all the money they wanted all the time?
60029	Can it be possible that they can properly be called"currency"?
60029	Can it be said that a measure like the one now pending before the Senate and the country is a measure of a day or an hour?
60029	Can you give us the history of that system?
60029	Can you, Mr. Banker?
60029	Do n''t you admit that this is some sort or kind of money?
60029	Do n''t you remember how Mr. Banker pounded that into us; and convinced us all, too?
60029	Do n''t you see it''s half past ten o''clock?
60029	Do n''t you think so yourselves?
60029	Do n''t you think so, Mr. Banker?
60029	Do n''t you think so?
60029	Do n''t you think that a good and equally helpful business could be carried on by loaning money on city and urban property?
60029	Do you all agree that that is a fair assumption under the circumstances?

60029	Do you know I flatter myself that the common sense of the American people is the wealth of the country?
60029	Do you know that I regard credit as one of the three greatest instrumentalities of modern civilization?

60029	Do you pretend, Mr. Banker, that all our Silver Certificates are not money either?
60029	Do you recollect what you printed on that at the time you issued it, and have been printing on it ever since?
60029	Do you see any objection to it, any flaw in it?
60029	Do you think it is wise to continue these United States notes indefinitely, as a part of our bank reserves?
60029	Does all this prove nothing to us?
60029	Does anyone here deny that?
60029	Does anyone of common intelligence believe that Aldrich ever changed his scheme below its throat?
60029	Does not the fact that the United States Note and the Silver Dollar are legal tender, make them money?

60029	How about that?
60029	How can we do that?
60029	How do you make that out, when we have only$ 750,000,000 of bank notes out?
60029	How do you think James Gallatin, Moses Taylor and George S. Coe would have provided the money for carrying on the war?
60029	How does that strike the rest of you boys?
60029	How does this differ from the United States Notes or Greenbacks?
60029	How many of those associations would there be in the United States?
60029	How much infected meat would it take to do the harm, the damage to the American people that resulted from the panic of 1907?
60029	How would you detect, check and stop that sort of thing?

60029	I appeal to you men; am I not right about this matter?

60029	Is it not a fact that Canada has been just as free from these spasms and panics as any country in the world, and yet Canada has no central bank?
60029	Is it not the natural sequel to this train of abuses to which the country has been treated?
60029	Is it not true that our National Banks are now carrying 20 per cent reserves of which 17 per cent are cash?
60029	Is that a correct definition of reserves?
60029	Is this putting it too strongly?
60029	It is gold, is it not?
60029	It is this:"What is a Bank Note?
60029	Just think of it; where would it stop?
60029	Just what did you mean by that?
60029	Just what do you mean by the"functions of money"?
60029	Just where are we at now?
60029	MANUFACTURER: He could refuse if he chose and demand legal tender, could he not?
60029	MANUFACTURER: Just what do you mean when you say that a credit bank note currency will cost no more than a deposit account subject to check?
60029	MANUFACTURER: Mr. Banker, have Bills of Exchange and bank acceptances been used very long, or are they something quite new and modern?
60029	MANUFACTURER: These institutions you have named do not include the Trust Companies, do they?
60029	MANUFACTURER: Well, I assume that we have another guess coming yet, have n''t we?
60029	MERCHANT: Are the Canadians using this credit currency system?
60029	MERCHANT: Gentlemen, have you estimated how much gold your plan would bring into the American Reserve Bank?
60029	MERCHANT: Gentlemen, is n''t it marvelous how that currency adapts itself to the demands of the Canadian crop moving period?
60029	MERCHANT: Have you any doubt about the people taking your bank notes, as you suggest?
60029	MERCHANT: How is that?
60029	MERCHANT: How many such institutions are there?
60029	MERCHANT: How much gold is there in the world today?
60029	MERCHANT: I am sure we all agree on that point now, but what about this silver certificate?
60029	MERCHANT: I would like to ask you whether you think there is anything in this claim that gold is cheaper today than twenty years ago?
60029	MERCHANT: Is it not a fact that credit transactions in business are increasing every year?
60029	MERCHANT: Is it practical to have the zones conform to State lines?
60029	MERCHANT: Is n''t that a simple and very easy thing to do?
60029	MERCHANT: It is just a written acknowledgment of a debt, is n''t it?
60029	MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, do you believe that to be a correct statement?
60029	MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, just what are the influences that affect the movement of gold to or from the country?
60029	MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, taking that explanation as correct, what would you say that our currency consists of?
60029	MERCHANT: Mr. Banker, what amount, or percentage of reserves do you think a banker should carry?
60029	MERCHANT: Now just what did you say; value, wealth, property, capital and credit?
60029	MERCHANT: That is perfectly plain, but suppose that he could have sold the bonds, he would have gotten his money back, would he not?
60029	MERCHANT: Uncle Sam, that''s pretty good preaching; but how are you going to apply it to this banking question?
60029	MERCHANT: Well, Mr. Banker, how do you propose to keep credit within safe boundaries, and so insure sound business conditions all the time?
60029	MERCHANT: Well, Mr. Banker, what is wrong with it?
60029	MERCHANT: Well, Mr. Lawyer, what do you really think about the constitutional question now?
60029	MERCHANT: Well, what is a token coin?
60029	MERCHANT: Well, what would happen if, when the Supreme Court guesses again, it should guess right?
60029	MERCHANT: What is that?
60029	MERCHANT: What''s that?
60029	MERCHANT: Where would this gold come from?
60029	MR. BANKER: How do you make that out?
60029	MR. BANKER: Mr. Lawyer, will you allow me to illustrate that distinction?
60029	MR. BANKER: Well, Uncle Sam, do you think calling a thing something which it is not makes it that thing?
60029	MR. BANKER: What about the gold supply for the future?
60029	MR. FARMER: Did you say, Mr. Banker, that all the money there was in the United States were the gold coins?
60029	MR. FARMER: How do you think it could have been avoided?
60029	MR. FARMER: Mr. Lawyer, just what do you mean by a"standard of value"?
60029	MR. FARMER: Then why in thunder do n''t we adopt it now?
60029	MR. FARMER: Well, it then came out just as those men said it would, did n''t it?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: Accommodation paper?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: Do you really think that that can be done?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: Just what do you mean by the value of anything?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: Uncle Sam, why do you make these token or subsidiary coins?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: Well, Mr. Banker, do you know what I would do, if I had a deposit in your bank, under those circumstances, and got scared of you?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: What do you mean by Clearing House certificates?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: What do you mean by tying up the capital and deposits of a bank in mortgages and real estate?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: What''s legal tender?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: Where do I come in?
60029	MR. LABORINGMAN: Yes, but you have seven districts in every one of your zones, do n''t you?
60029	MR. LAWYER: Here is a gold certificate, is n''t that money?
60029	MR. LAWYER: How long, O Lord, how long, shall we remain the laughing stock of the rest of the world?
60029	MR. LAWYER: Mr. Banker, how would you fare under the Aldrich scheme, if you wanted$ 100,000 of currency to use to move the crops in the fall?
60029	MR. LAWYER: Mr. Banker, what are subsidiary coins?
60029	MR. LAWYER: Wealth, did you say, Uncle Sam?
60029	MR. LAWYER: What difference does that make?
60029	MR. LAWYER: Yes, I admit it; but does it smell any worse than oil has been smelling for more than twenty years?
60029	Merchant?
60029	Mr. Banker, how much of that kind of stuff have I got out?
60029	Mr. Banker, what have you to say about our Silver Dollar?
60029	Next Wednesday night let us investigate our currency and ask ourselves"What is currency?"
60029	Now, at first thought, anyone would say that it would be safe to issue money for this value, or sixteen billion dollars; but who would redeem it?
60029	Now, can you beat that as an illustration of our financial and banking needs?
60029	Now, do n''t you think, Uncle Sam, that as a matter of business you''d better get rid of these demand debts, these United States Notes?
60029	Now, what about that?
60029	Now, what have you to offer in support of your theory by the way of any practical illustrations?
60029	Now, what is the thing by which we are measuring the value of all credit?
60029	Now, what more do you want?
60029	Now, what would you think of running a hundred- ton engine, and that kind of a train of cars over a railroad built fifty years ago?
60029	Of course we will be up against some legal difficulties, wo n''t we, Mr. Lawyer?
60029	One naturally says to himself, if this plan of a Central Bank of issue is good enough for England and Germany, why should we not adopt it here?
60029	Or, are you fellows like the Irishman, who said that he was kicking a dead dog to teach him that there was such a thing as punishment after death?
60029	Possibly it was more this decision than pressure of business that called for the creation of an additional member of the Court-- was it not?
60029	SECOND NIGHT WHAT IS MONEY?
60029	SIXTH NIGHT VALUE, PRICE, WEALTH, PROPERTY, CREDIT UNCLE SAM: Well, boys, what about reserves?
60029	THIRD NIGHT WHAT IS CURRENCY?
60029	Tell me how much gold coin we have scattered about everywhere over the country?
60029	Than certain United States senators have been made to smell?
60029	Than robbing rebates smell?
60029	That is, how would you prevent too much paper from some one merchant, or manufacturer, getting into the banks?
60029	That is, what can you call a reserve?
60029	That is, what is value anyway?
60029	That would make two hundred and ninety- four districts, if you should have as many as forty- two zones, would it not?
60029	UNCLE SAM: And you say I have$ 563,000,000 of silver dollars out good for nothing but token or subsidiary coin?
60029	UNCLE SAM: By Jove, he''s hit the thing plump and square on the head, has n''t he, boys?
60029	UNCLE SAM: Did not Mr. Laboringman just appeal to me to find out whether coöperative societies were going to have a fair show?
60029	UNCLE SAM: Say, Mr. Banker, do you know what time it is?
60029	UNCLE SAM: There, can you beat that as a precaution against accidents?
60029	UNCLE SAM: Well, fellows, you see, do n''t you, that everything gets back, sooner or later, to the producer?
60029	UNCLE SAM: What is the total amount of silver in the country then, of all kinds, silver dollars and pieces of silver less than one dollar?
60029	UNCLE SAM: Yes, but I do n''t have to pay those National Bank Notes, do I?
60029	Upon this evidence will any candid man say that the so- called National Reserve Association is not a Central Bank?
60029	Was it at 5 per cent, 6 per cent, 7 per cent, 8 per cent, 9 per cent, 10 per cent?
60029	We change it here, what is the result?
60029	What Is Currency?
60029	What Is Exchange?
60029	What Is Money?
60029	What are the principles involved?
60029	What do you all say to that?
60029	What do you think the effect would be upon our credit, with all these demand obligations outstanding?
60029	What do you think, Mr. Banker?
60029	What does experience show?
60029	What doubt should there be of the urgency of this legislation?
60029	What else can there be?
60029	What have we not done under this clause of the Constitution and the general welfare clause?
60029	What is Exchange?
60029	What is a bill of exchange?
60029	What is a check?
60029	What is a draft?
60029	What is a promissory note?
60029	What is an acceptance?
60029	What is it wise to do under the circumstances?
60029	What is it?
60029	What is property?
60029	What principles, practices and methods will give us the very best financial and banking system in the world?
60029	Where would you go for gold with your comparatively small capital and limited credit?
60029	Wherein then is the farmer, the planter, the artisan benefited?
60029	Whether it is falling in value, and as a consequence prices of everything else, which must be compared with gold, are rising?
60029	Why can not 1907 suffice?
60029	Why do we want to spend any time on that?
60029	Why is that?
60029	Why not relieve the millions of depositors from the anxiety they always feel about their money in the banks?
60029	Why should it take another wasteful and degrading panic to impress Congress?
60029	Why should n''t it, that''s the question?
60029	Why should not a bank act just like any other merchant or trader, and adjust its stock of goods to the ever- changing conditions of its business?
60029	Why, what does it propose?
60029	Will any man assert that any country in the world has a better banking system than Canada has today?
60029	Will any man in the United States deny that Canada has a vastly superior banking system to anything we have in the United States?
60029	Will any one deny that promissory notes are property?
60029	Will any one say that what we wanted during the years of 1913- 4- 5- 6- 7 was more inflation?
60029	Will anybody declare that a bank has no property when it has a million dollars''worth of gold coin in its vaults?
60029	Will anybody deny that a bank has property, although it may be the owner of one million dollars''worth of promissory notes?
60029	Will anybody deny that checks and drafts and bills of exchange are property?
60029	Will anyone deny that United States notes are property?
60029	Will anyone deny that gold certificates are property?
60029	Will anyone deny that gold is property?
60029	Will anyone deny that promissory notes are property?
60029	Will anyone deny that silver certificates are property?
60029	Will anyone deny that silver is property?
60029	Will anyone say that the prices in these various countries have in any way shown or reflected the amount of gold taken or absorbed?
60029	Would anybody take a step that would substitute a local currency for a national currency of uniform character and quality?
60029	Would n''t you think that that was idiotic?
60029	Yes, suppose they are, what of it?
60029	Your inquiries have always been: What are the facts?
60029	of the Bank, nothing but a promise to pay five times twenty- five and eight- tenths grains of gold, nine- tenths fine, to the bearer?
26330	All of us? 26330 All right, suppose I admit it,"said I,"what of it?"
26330	All? 26330 And about our big subscription-- have you and Mr. Rockefeller put it in yet?"
26330	And what were my movements?
26330	And where do you stand now?
26330	Anxious?
26330	Are they large and juicy?
26330	Are you actuated by any selfish motives-- gain, revenge, or friendly interest in certain life- insurance companies or banks or trust companies?
26330	Are you ready for the finals, Lawson?
26330	At what price?
26330	But Mr. Stillman would never dare to refuse what you and Mr. William Rockefeller asked, any more than he would the request of John D., would he?
26330	But can you do this?
26330	But why,ask my readers,"did you not denounce the men and renounce the work, instead of profiting by it, as you undoubtedly did?"
26330	Can you do it?
26330	Copper?
26330	Did n''t you have any words about the matter?
26330	Did not Lewisohn put up any sort of a fight?
26330	Do you give me your word for it?
26330	Do you give me your word that you can?
26330	Do you mean to tell me there is anything Addicks can get his hands on which he has not yet used for his companies nor stolen for himself?
26330	Do you mean to tell me you were short the whole bunch?
26330	Do you refuse to tell me anything about it?
26330	Do you stand ready to prove your charge if he challenges you to do it?
26330	Do you suppose, Lawson,said Mr. Rogers, straightening up and speaking very impatiently,"that the public will swallow any statement of that kind?
26330	Do?
26330	Does it aim at any real change in our political system? 26330 For how much?"
26330	Good God, Mr. Rogers, are you mad?
26330	Has any one else been indicted?
26330	Have I got it? 26330 Have you been watching the stock''s actions in the market?"
26330	Have you figured the consequences to yourself?
26330	Have you got the news, Lawson?
26330	How can we do it, Lawson, when I have told you it is impossible?
26330	How do you prove that safety in this class of investment is more assured than in others?
26330	How does it look to Stillman now?
26330	How in the world did you know that was coming?
26330	How is it the situation is as you outline it?
26330	How is that? 26330 How many free bonds have we to offer, Addicks, suppose he is willing to overlook this ugly piece of trickery?"
26330	How many have you brought me to- day, my merry men?
26330	How much more?
26330	How much of this first section do you figure, Mr. Rogers, that we are to give to the public?
26330	How will two millions do?
26330	I imagine you will never consent to turn your property over to us on our say- so that we will later pay you for it?
26330	I may not ask you what your remedy is?
26330	I take it that you want me to unload our stock on to the pool and the other members of the syndicate?
26330	I thought you boasted you could read the tape, Lawson?
26330	I''ll do it,he said,"but I''ll throw out the present president, blame him for all that''s happened, but-- whom shall I put in to replace him?
26330	If you can really do what you claim, why not go ahead, make your gas, and sell it to us? 26330 Is it actually fixed up already?"
26330	Is n''t this a gilt- edged one?
26330	Just what is the bank to say in this statement?
26330	Just what is your idea, Mr. Addicks, of how this gigantic piece of business could be done?
26330	Lawson, are you crazy? 26330 Lawson, what are you doing in life insurance?"
26330	Lawson,said he,"the public are about ready to invest in the first section of our new consolidated company, are they not?"
26330	Lay it up against you, my boy? 26330 Look into it?
26330	My dear fellow,said the would- be borrower,"how can that be?
26330	Nothing more than that?
26330	Now where do I come in on all this?
26330	Now, what is your idea of how it should be gone about?
26330	Of what concern is it to us,says this writer,"how one section of the rich robs another of its hoardings?"
26330	Oh, he is, is he? 26330 One word of its nature?"
26330	Say to him? 26330 Suppose we have,"I said;"there is no crime in that, is there?"
26330	Tell you about it?
26330	They wo n''t, eh?
26330	This is a startler,I said;"what are we going to do?"
26330	Well, Lawson, did you get things finished up all right?
26330	Well, Lawson, what do you make out?
26330	Well, are we ready to put our things together? 26330 Well, did you do it?
26330	Well, what are you going to do?
26330	Well, what can they do to any of us in this world except to send us to the poor- house or the grave? 26330 Well, what can you put up?"
26330	Well, what have you to propose?
26330	Well,I repeated,"what are we going to do?"
26330	Well?
26330	What are you going to do?
26330	What are you going to say to him?
26330	What are you trying to do, Lawson?
26330	What are you trying to do?
26330	What could I possibly tell you about your own scheme? 26330 What do you mean by a''way safe and fair''to yourself?
26330	What do you mean by that?
26330	What do you mean, Mr. Rogers? 26330 What do you want me to do?"
26330	What do you want?
26330	What does it mean, Lawson?
26330	What else can I do? 26330 What is it?"
26330	What is its secret?
26330	What is the price?
26330	What is the use of putting it that way, Lawson?
26330	What must ye do to be rich? 26330 What shall we do?
26330	What suggestion have you, Lawson, as to what should be done this morning?
26330	What would the governor sign?
26330	When did you sell it?
26330	Whence came it?
26330	Wherein does he say it is wrong?
26330	Who has decided?
26330	Why do n''t you take me?
26330	Why do n''t you then?
26330	Why not take him in with us-- you, Mr. Rockefeller, and myself?
26330	Why not?
26330	Why not?
26330	Why waste time and words over a matter that you know as well as I must be handled very, very gingerly? 26330 Would it not be well to let the subscribers have more than the amount we agreed?
26330	You did n''t meet with any set- back with Morgan, did you?
26330	You have not given any one any orders, have you, nor sent any one your check to pay for any, have you?
26330	You have positively made up your mind to that?
26330	You have the resignations of the present board-- why not put in new men, the strongest''Standard Oil''men you know?
26330	You mean this, Lawson, that you will insist upon having this done in a way that will make every one legally responsible?
26330	You mean you have obtained all the consents necessary?
26330	You persist, Lawson, that this is necessary?
26330	A number of scions of Boston''s best families had good paying positions in the different companies; what would Mr. Addicks do with them?
26330	Addicks, observing the deep sobs, asked:"What''s the matter with you, bub?"
26330	Addicks?"
26330	All thinking people, after reading these extracts from Insurance Commissioner Cutting''s report, will ask:"Why have we never heard of this before?"
26330	All with tremendous earnestness asked,"Is it safe, Mr. Lawson, for us to put our savings in Amalgamated?"
26330	Am I right?"
26330	Am I to understand you do n''t lay any of all that has passed up against me?"
26330	And before leaving this point, it may be well to ask,"Has the New York Life Insurance Company altogether discontinued these advances to agents?"
26330	And from whom comes the proof of the treacheries and rascalities perpetrated within the Equitable?
26330	And how should the balance have been kept for you promoters?
26330	And what will happen if''Standard Oil''declares that it will not take Utah into the consolidation?"
26330	And when these associates of mine get down to this matter and all agree upon the way it should be closed up, what can I do but go with them?
26330	And where would our friends be-- and the public?
26330	Are n''t you afraid they will dig pits for you?"
26330	Are you going to break your promise to me?
26330	Are you going to commit the crime of calling out bank and trust company deposits?
26330	Are you satisfied now?
26330	As they were taking off their coats in the hall, however, the little newsboy pushed his way in with:"Say, boss, did yer mean ter guv me de twenty?"
26330	At least would I not beg Mr. Rogers and Mr. Rockefeller to take up the 100,000 shares pending their negotiations for the balance?
26330	At the first did_ you_ not plan to let the public have very much more than this?
26330	But first, are you free to go on with us without explaining things to''Standard Oil''?"
26330	But grant even that he plays fair, and you bring the Boston situation up to a paying place, what good will it do you?
26330	But what do we find?
26330	But what has the"System"in its blind rage done?
26330	But what was"Standard Oil"?
26330	But who owns the trust companies?
26330	But would it be kept?
26330	By the way, have you and Stillman changed the scheme about putting all the cash received behind the stock?"
26330	Can such things be in America?"
26330	Can you ask anything more than that?"
26330	Could 50,000 shares be sold readily?
26330	Could there be found an enterprise better calculated to discourage the upstart?
26330	Could this gray ghost be the same man who a short time ago had been smiling so contentedly at Parker Chandler''s last story?
26330	D''ye understand?"
26330	Did I make my fortune honestly, you ask?
26330	Did my readers ever hear of the National Transit Company?
26330	Did you ever put a pick into ore?
26330	Did you ever see a copper mine?
26330	Did you not all plan to do about the same thing?
26330	Did you sell that stock after we delivered it to you?"
26330	Do they cheat?
26330	Do they trick?
26330	Do you actually mean to say that that is the way the business has been conducted in the past?"
26330	Do you agree with me?"
26330	Do you charge him flatly with perjury?"
26330	Do you dare tell your readers now and unqualifiedly that you personally did not make money out of what you call the"Amalgamated swindle"?
26330	Do you intend to allot the public more than five millions?"
26330	Do you leave it to us, or not?
26330	Do you really believe the officers of the company personally profited from using the"cash on hand"of the company?
26330	Do you remember the dealings that you had with me, how they were based on falsehood and misrepresentation from start to finish?
26330	Do you see?"
26330	Do you still believe as you first wrote me?
26330	Do you suppose Standard Oil has built itself up to where it is and made the money it has simply because there were always more lamps than we had oil?
26330	Do you understand?
26330	Finally he said:"Well, Lawson, what more can I do?"
26330	First let me ask, do you intend to confine your criticisms to the New York Life Insurance Company?"
26330	Go back to your associate, that gentlemanly, square- dealing fellow in Philadelphia?"
26330	Had some one stolen the extra profit?
26330	Had you best do it or we?"
26330	Have I made it clear that you can not, as you were counting on doing, continue this fight till you have us tired out and crushed?"
26330	Have they all gone in under their own names?"
26330	Have we got the necessary companies to meet the ideas you have been educating the public into?"
26330	Have you brought those bonds as you agreed to, or not?"
26330	Have you ever paused and thought for one moment about what the results of your selfish and distorted statements might be?
26330	Have_ I_ been consulted?
26330	Have_ I_ consented to the breaking of your word, Mr. Rockefeller''s word?
26330	Have_ I_ decided?
26330	He was bending over a stack of papers, and as I landed at his desk he looked up quickly, and in a surprised way asked:"What does this mean, Lawson?"
26330	How about Rogers himself?"
26330	How long will they suffer a few men to siphon automatically the money of the many into their own pockets?
26330	How many do you think now?
26330	How much can I depend upon drawing from my account this morning, provided I want it?"
26330	How old are you?"
26330	However, I pulled myself together and began:"Mr. Rogers, what''s the use of getting excited?"
26330	I admitted no one could possibly appreciate this more than I-- but what could be done?
26330	I began a"But, Mr. Rogers,"when he interrupted, and his words came stern, aggressive:"Is it satisfactory to you or not?
26330	I could refuse, but what then?
26330	I hastened to ask:"What do you mean by''too many bonds,''Addicks?
26330	I said to him,"What do you think has happened, Untermyer?"
26330	I said,"is it possible that this man has the audacity to come to Boston and ask me to commit perjury?"
26330	I said:"How can this be?"
26330	I simply ask now, Is this satisfactory to you?
26330	I told him certain things, and pledged my word they were truths, and I''ve got to go back and tell----""Tell what?"
26330	If I am right, how did this differ so greatly from what Rogers did?
26330	If I insisted on my view, what would happen?
26330	If Rogers and Rockefeller paid for their shares, what became of the Amalgamated Company''s$ 75,000,000 secured by sale of stock?
26330	If he had, where would you have been?
26330	If not, how and where are they accounted for?
26330	If the State has a valuable thing to give away, why should it not go to the one who will pay the people the most money for it?"
26330	If the masses should sell their stocks and bonds and get their money, what would then happen?
26330	If this is so, how can Rogers and his crowd own the 150,000 shares they took away from us at millions below the market?
26330	If this is so, then why have the American people allowed themselves to reach this condition?
26330	If this promise were kept, what was there to fear?
26330	In other words, was n''t he doing exactly what I myself was engaged upon?
26330	In what other way can it be done?"
26330	Is it any wonder that I called the history I am writing"Frenzied Finance"?
26330	Is it not Thomas W. Lawson?
26330	Is it not Thomas W. Lawson?
26330	Is it not the"System"of which you have been the leading advocate, votary, and exponent for many years?
26330	Is it socialistic?"
26330	Is it true?
26330	Is it understood?"
26330	Is n''t that about it?"
26330	Is that agreed?"
26330	Is that all right?"
26330	Is that right?"
26330	Is the American people prepared by its long- sustained prosperity to bridge over that period of want and suffering?
26330	Is the"New York Life"telling a falsehood when it states that not a dollar of its assets is invested in stocks of any kind?
26330	Is this the freedom which our fathers and our sons died on many a bloody, hard- fought field to preserve?
26330	Is this what I get for all I have stood for?"
26330	It does not pain me when my own children ask,"Why do they say such awful things about the stock operator?"
26330	Just how many have we now on hand?"
26330	Just why were you so fearfully wrought up at the thought of the public''s getting ten millions instead of five?
26330	Let me ask you a question, What do you say it means?"
26330	Let us see if there is not a chance here to determine the grave question,"Is''_ the one man_''who runs each of our great insurance companies honest?"
26330	Little the woman knew what she asked when she wrote:"You will put up Sugar?"
26330	Look out for Dominion at once, and when you are through I must see you-- where?"
26330	Men said:"Why not?
26330	Messrs. Rogers and Rockefeller were the Amalgamated Company after purchasing the capital stock from the office- boys, were they not?
26330	My readers may well ask, Are these merely illustrations, or do such things really take place?
26330	No crime to take by a trick from thousands of the people thirty- six millions of the results of our great country''s prosperity?
26330	Now, Lawson, will you take this fight of mine against''Standard Oil''?"
26330	Now, how about it?"
26330	Now, how do you propose to buy?"
26330	Now, how do you propose to go about that advertisement?"
26330	Now, in plain language, brief and straight, what would you have deemed the right thing, that night at the bank?
26330	Or what?
26330	Other storms we had met and weathered, why not this?
26330	Our country for a generation has been prosperous beyond the dreams of man, yet what have the masses of our people to show for it?
26330	Presently he snapped:"What do you suppose they would answer were they in our position?
26330	Rogers?"
26330	Rogers?"
26330	Rogers?"
26330	Rogers?"
26330	Shall I go?"
26330	Should the fate of these others be also mine?
26330	Some one else would carry out Rogers''mandate, and where should I and my great copper structure be?
26330	Still I slowly and coldly asked:"How can that be done?"
26330	Suddenly I became conscious that I was asking,"Am I to understand that this is final?
26330	Surely our courts are not also the creatures of"frenzied finance"?
26330	Take advantage-- how?"
26330	Taking all your statements and analyzing them, what do they amount to?
26330	The boy gave it up, and Addicks, after methodically placing it in his purse, handed him back a$ 2 bill with:"That''s what you lost, is n''t it?
26330	The people who had been"shaken out"?
26330	The question is, how to get Rogers to advance so large a sum in such a ticklish business?
26330	The question was, What would they do now that our stock was within their reach?
26330	The vital question is: Whom can the policy- holders trust to do this?
26330	Then in the name of reason, why was it not really good for those who were rejected, that they were left out?
26330	Then it was that the people first began to demand, what they are still to- day fiercely demanding,"What is this''Standard Oil''?"
26330	Then where should we be with our millions of Butte, Montana, and other Boston stocks?
26330	Then where would you be?"
26330	Then why not welcome the suggestion of Rogers?
26330	Then--"Is that you, Fred?"
26330	Then--"When will they get up there?"
26330	There was no gainsaying the soundness of Rogers''reasoning, however:"Who made it worth 40?
26330	Therefore the one thing for policy- holders to settle, the one vital thing is, Are these men honest, or are they tricksters and liars?
26330	Therefore, before turning the page, it behooves you to find for yourself an answer to the grave question: Is it the truth that is dealt with here?
26330	This being the fact, for how long will the people allow such a monstrous wrong to be done?
26330	To what extent is the public actually safeguarded by these investigations?
26330	Under any circumstances or conditions will you join forces and do business with us?"
26330	Under these circumstances, could we do otherwise than we have done?"
26330	Was it not your thought, I mean, that the public should be in the thing about equally with you promoters?
26330	Was there a sinister thought, I wonder, behind the"Good, I agree with you,"that came back from him in his heartiest tones?
26330	Was this hydrophobia of yours at the mere suggestion prompted by a perfectly pure or by a selfish motive?
26330	We shall have the metal to sell, the world will be more anxious to buy than we to sell: what more can be necessary?"
26330	What are you going to do?
26330	What can I say to him?
26330	What can we do, Lawson?
26330	What cost does it stand you?"
26330	What could they do?
26330	What do you know of the Anaconda Company?"
26330	What do you place the subscription at?"
26330	What do you say?"
26330	What do your reports from Boston and the country show?"
26330	What has been the result of your advertisements of the last few days?
26330	What have Stillman and the rest to say about this?
26330	What have they to do with the promises I have made the people?
26330	What is Thomas W. Lawson in this transaction that his personality need enter into a controversy wherein the issue is of facts alone?"
26330	What is the conclusion to be deducted from your own statements?
26330	What is the"System"to which you have so often referred?
26330	What is the"System"which you denounce as the very personification of evil?
26330	What is to be the end of this sort of thing-- the purchase of the people''s representatives by the criminal rich?"
26330	What is your idea as to how we shall control the selling end?"
26330	What kind of copper?"
26330	What was there to do?
26330	What would you with me?"
26330	What''s the use of beating round the bush any longer?
26330	What_ can_ we do?"
26330	When the world is ladling out honors to the"Standard Oil"kings, and spouting of their wondrous riches, how often is Henry H. Rogers mentioned?
26330	When we dropped our eyes, both evidently satisfied, he said:"Now, what have you to say to me?"
26330	When will you call?"
26330	Where in the world did you get the idea we had?"
26330	Where would that leave us?
26330	Whitney?"
26330	Who are you, who should say in relation to a copper mine whether it is good or bad?
26330	Who but''Standard Oil''?
26330	Who can deny the magic that thus demonstrates its power, or fail to accord veneration to the magicians that work such marvels?
26330	Who gave you this tale?"
26330	Who has_ recovered_ this vast sum?
26330	Who is the man that, from the inception of the enterprise which you most severely criticise, has been most prominently before the public?
26330	Who is the man that, from your own words, originated the idea and carried it to its completion?
26330	Who is the man that, in the various schemes which you hold up to the condemnation of the public, has taken from start to finish the leading part?
26330	Who is to say what percentage the votaries of the"System"take in their game?
26330	Who precipitated that terrific slaughter?
26330	Whose money is it?"
26330	Why do n''t you come down to business and give the readers of_ Everybody''s_ something wholesome to digest and plenty of it?
26330	Why might not his intentions be as fair as mine?
26330	Why not take more of this money than five millions?"
26330	Why should it do such a thing?
26330	Why would it not have been a crime to dispose of only 50,000 shares when the whole 750,000 were advertised?
26330	Why?
26330	Will you buy us out at the price we must have?"
26330	Will you drop that copper will- o''-the- wisp?"
26330	Will you take just a moment to answer the following question?
26330	With hundreds of millions subscribed, how many shares would you have thought the public should have?
26330	With prizes such as these a man can stand a lot of frenzied hard names, ca n''t he?"
26330	Would n''t he?
26330	Would you go back to Boston and smash this business that we have spent years on?
26330	Would you sacrifice the millions that are in your grasp?
26330	Would you, I say?
26330	Would you?
26330	You are not suspicious of any of us, are you?"
26330	You do n''t suppose I would compound a felony in the State in which it was committed, and before witnesses, do you?"
26330	You know we gave out before the subscription was opened that the City Bank would loan on the stock?"
26330	You know,"I responded;"but who will be in this besides ourselves?"
26330	You may ask here, Could such things happen without attracting public attention?
26330	You said''400 to 425 millions''; of course that means you have put in our dummy subscription, but what was the real subscription?
26330	You surely have more sense than to believe a man of Addicks''make- up can be permanently successful?"
26330	and practically take away its good thing?
26330	and,"Can our republic endure if it, too, endures?"
26330	he went on,"and that nothing could be happening in a field you were interested in without your smelling it out?
26330	higher than those of 1904, with, however, the saving(?)
26330	of the Amalgamated and the things connected with it amount to?
26330	of the selling company?"
26330	said he in an amused way,"copper?

35120	; if not, what discretion is usually given them?
35120	A bill drawn in New York on France, on a bank, for instance, the Crédit Lyonnais, at Paris, and accepted by it, would it be admissible for discount?
35120	A hundred people are talked about, and a thousand think--"Am I talked about, or am I not?"
35120	A large percentage of the stock exchange business is really handled through the incorporated banks, is it not?
35120	A large percentage of your funds is loaned on the stock exchange?
35120	A part of your portfolio comes from rediscounting for banks?
35120	Accordingly, the question"How far does the note issue under the new system seem likely to prove an elastic one?"
35120	All are plausible, but which is valid?
35120	All this, except the last, might be true, and yet would any man refuse his assent to the fact of the currency being depreciated?
35120	And nothing that requires you to keep any reserve; that is, any amount of cash as against your liabilities?
35120	And your discount business is comparatively insignificant?

35120	As a matter of fact, a large part of the commercial banking in England is done by about a dozen institutions, is it not?

35120	At first, incipient panic amounts to a kind of vague conversation: Is A B as good as he used to be?
35120	But how evenly are these resources distributed?
35120	But not their stock?
