This is a list of all the questions and their associated study carrel identifiers. One can learn a lot of the "aboutness" of a text simply by reading the questions.

|---|---|
| 29499 | Will it be taken by the statesmen to whose hands the peoples have intrusted their lives and fortunes? |
| 52460 | But what about William Jennings Bryan? |
| 52460 | Does it look very much as though we had withdrawn silver from use as currency? |
| 52460 | In what way have we deprived silver of value? |
| 52460 | Perhaps you have noticed already in this campaign that no one is quite so disgusted with remarks on the tariff as a Byranized democrat or a populist? |
| 52460 | Shall the toilers of this land, the wage- earners on farm and in factory, be robbed every Saturday night of one- half of their weekly wages? |
| 52460 | Shall the widow''s mite and the savings deposited in the banks of this country be cut in two by changing our money to silver monometallism? |
| 52460 | Shall thrift and economy be rewarded by robbery? |
| 52460 | The question is, do the people of the United States want these prices restored? |
| 52460 | The question is, my countrymen, who will get these 48 cents on each dollar, who will be benefitted by this change? |
| 52460 | WHY ARE THEY NOT HONEST? |
| 52460 | What has happened during the last three and a half years of grace? |
| 52460 | What party then is the real friend of silver? |
| 52460 | What statement could be clearer and more concise than that? |
| 52460 | Why not form an alliance all over this country to recradleize the cradle, and make common warfare against the up- to- date binder? |
| 40429 | Does, or does not, our duty to ourselves and the world at large demand that we maintain permanently a non- exportable circulation? 40429 For how,"said they all,"is the comparative value of our different commodities and services which we propose to exchange to be ascertained?" |
| 40429 | How can I know,said Twist,"how many loaves I ought to receive for my coat?" |
| 40429 | Or I,said Pecks,"find out how high and broad a chimney I ought to make for my garment?" |
| 40429 | All who have read"Robinson Crusoe"( and who has not?) |
| 40429 | But how is it with my customers? |
| 40429 | But still you make insurance against currency fluctuations an item in your business to be regarded to some extent? |
| 40429 | For, to descend to reasoning, were not two intricate questions definitely settled by the highest of human tribunals? |
| 40429 | Had they not put their hands to the plow of reform? |
| 40429 | How can they lie so, when I have just seen the safe and drawers full of it? |
| 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?'' |
| 13045 | ( Will this requisition apply to the Bank of England?) |
| 13045 | And how is its volume to be regulated? |
| 13045 | And how much use would they be to him if he could? |
| 13045 | And interest on war debt, and for how long? |
| 13045 | And when we have made this guess are we at the end of the war''s cost? |
| 13045 | But how will you persuade him that it is an emergency measure not to be repeated? |
| 13045 | But if so, what will happen to the Guildsman as consumer? |
| 13045 | But is he, in fact, entitled to count on receiving any interest at all from our Allies for some years to come after the war? |
| 13045 | But is it not a"fundamental truth of economic science"that capital is wealth applied to production? |
| 13045 | But is man born free to work as and on what he likes? |
| 13045 | But is the supply of"man"unlimited in the sense of man able, willing, and properly trained to work? |
| 13045 | But is this certain or even likely? |
| 13045 | But is this so? |
| 13045 | But is this the right way to do it? |
| 13045 | But would it work as a practical scheme? |
| 13045 | Can Mr Kitson show it to us, and what are these"fundamental truths of economic science"? |
| 13045 | Can we be equally confident that much has been done by the Government to carry out the advice that has been given by this Committee? |
| 13045 | Do we mean to go on to the end of the war with this muddling policy of bad finance? |
| 13045 | Fifty millions a year for thirty years? |
| 13045 | Has our reputation for honest dealing and for trustworthy administration suffered? |
| 13045 | How can you be sure that it is so? |
| 13045 | How far, we have next to ask, is it necessary for the best interests of the country to restrict the freedom of capital issues? |
| 13045 | How much better could the thing have been done? |
| 13045 | How much truth is there in all this? |
| 13045 | How, then, shall we deal with the debt? |
| 13045 | If, then, capital can only be created by saving, how far will the war have helped towards its more plentiful production? |
| 13045 | In other words, how much of the war''s cost in so far as it was raised at home could have been raised by taxation? |
| 13045 | Is this a prospect to pray for? |
| 13045 | Most sensible, but where is the freedom? |
| 13045 | Of course; but if so, where is the Guildsman''s alleged freedom? |
| 13045 | Ought we not to include pensions to be paid, and if so, at what figure? |
| 13045 | Shall we guess them at something between £ 1000 and £ 1500 millions? |
| 13045 | So that the answer to the question: What is the rate of interest likely to be after the war? |
| 13045 | That new credits will be needed for industry after war is obvious, but what else are our banks for, if not to provide it? |
| 13045 | The Government? |
| 13045 | The contents, with the exception of the last article on"Money or Goods?" |
| 13045 | The question is, however, what is the remedy for this admitted and glaring evil? |
| 13045 | The question is, what figure ought we to put on this asset in deducting it from gross war expenditure in order to arrive at a guess at the real cost? |
| 13045 | What else could any reasonable wage- earner or professional expect or desire? |
| 13045 | What is this rate of interest going to be, and how much effect does it have upon the creation of capital? |
| 13045 | What, after the war, will be the most important need, from the material point of view, for the inhabitants of this country? |
| 13045 | Who has enough assurance to venture on an estimate of the cost of these items? |
| 13045 | Who is to decide when the currency is just sufficient? |
| 13045 | Why have we allowed our present finance to go so wrong? |
| 13045 | Will the prestige of the London money market be maintained when the war is over? |
| 13045 | Will they and their members be paid all the same? |
| 13045 | With an unlimited, or practically unlimited, supply of these two factors, how is it that wealth is and has been hitherto so comparatively scarce?" |
| 13045 | XX MONEY OR GOODS? |
| 13045 | [ 1] Why has this been so? |
| 13045 | may be given, in Quaker fashion, by another question: What will happen to the index number of the prices of commodities? |
| 13045 | were enforced, how can we be sure that it would not take a large slice off capital, the next heir to which is a soldier or a sailor? |
| 60029 | Let me ask the 25,000 individual independent banks of America, what they would do when the day of contraction and refusal came? 60029 Madison interposed:''Will it not be sufficient to prohibit the making''the bills''a tender''? |
| 60029 | The question before the Convention was: Shall power be granted to the legislature of the United States''to emit bills of credit''? 60029 What is it that we most need? |
| 60029 | Am I correct in my understanding of the difference of cost upon these two forms of currency? |
| 60029 | Am I correct? |
| 60029 | And again he writes:"Why should a bank keep any reserve? |
| 60029 | And are we now to do something possibly more than stupid when we are naturally, even in defiance of law, as we have seen, finding our way out? |
| 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 Boston be favored? |
| 60029 | But why should borrowers in the smaller townships be forced to travel to their shire towns? |
| 60029 | But will some advocate say"it is only the bank of all the other banks"? |
| 60029 | But would any one go back to the days when they had to pay exchange upon a bank note every time they crossed a State line? |
| 60029 | But, gentlemen, why could I not issue$ 10,000 of my bank notes against my bank credit, and keep the$ 12,000 or$ 15,000 of commercial paper? |
| 60029 | But, suppose the question should arise and a man should ask, are these notes good? |
| 60029 | Can any fair- minded, impartial man deny that the conditions today are vastly in favor of better results than they were then? |
| 60029 | Can any intelligent man doubt the purpose of all these sham declarations and false pretenses? |
| 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 call it a good system? |
| 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 mean to tell me it is not money? |
| 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 | Does not this alone create a state of emergency? |
| 60029 | Does this transaction become a different transaction, forsooth, because it is carried out by a banker? |
| 60029 | FIFTH NIGHT WHAT IS EXCHANGE? |
| 60029 | For what would happen to this bank if we should send out such a letter to our depositors? |
| 60029 | Have the Central Banks of England, France or Germany any power to maintain accounts and establish agencies in foreign countries? |
| 60029 | Have you investigated it? |
| 60029 | Have you men ever looked up bank failures in the United States? |
| 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 | However, what is it that you want to talk about? |
| 60029 | I appeal to you men; am I not right about this matter? |
| 60029 | I suppose we are through with the Clearing House now, are n''t we? |
| 60029 | I want to know how many cans of pork and beans I have on hand to meet the meal tickets with? |
| 60029 | If a bank wanted to take on a speculative deal, it could sell its commercial paper, could it not, and use the money for speculation just the same? |
| 60029 | If left alone, we shall soon adopt these same principles, now in practice in Scotland, Ireland and Canada? |
| 60029 | Indeed, the thing by which we are measuring the value of everything? |
| 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? |
