| 5824 | What is it? |
| 5824 | Why-- a-- do the clothes fall out of it when it is-- when it is stationary? |
| 5824 | Why? 5824 Why?" |
| 5824 | Why? |
| 5824 | You mean,said Mr. Braham,"that there was an unnatural, insane gleam in her eyes?" |
| 5824 | After the recovery of Laura from her long illness, did Mrs. Hawkins think there, were any signs of insanity about her? |
| 5824 | And where to begin? |
| 5824 | Are we to be shut out from showing that the motive attributed to us could not by reason of certain mental conditions exist? |
| 5824 | At the time of first finding Laura on the steamboat, did she notice that Laura''s mind was at all deranged? |

| 5824 | He was not able to deny that he believed Senator Dilworthy to be guilty-- but what then? |
| 5824 | I believe Major Lackland is not living, Colonel?" |

| 5824 | Let the jury do what they please; what difference is it going to make? |
| 5824 | Mr. Noble--"Contempt of whom?" |
| 5824 | Mr. Noble--"Then will the Committee ask the question?" |
| 5824 | Now what a way to talk that is: What do you suppose that trunk is worth?" |
| 5824 | Now what would you call stealing?" |
| 5824 | Or would not the truer way be to find out whether the Senator was capable of being entrapped into so shameless an act, and then try him? |
| 5824 | Selby?" |
| 5824 | Sellers, I believe?" |
| 5824 | Sellers, did you know a Major Lackland?" |

| 5824 | Shall I do it, or shall I not? |
| 5824 | Suppose you were a thief, and that trunk was lying around and nobody watching-- wouldn''t you steal it? |

| 5824 | Three or four tines in as many weeks he said to himself,"Am I a visionary? |
| 5824 | Was it such an extraordinary case? |
| 5824 | Was she not the heroine of the hour? |

| 5819 | What is there to fear in a person dead more than in a person living?" |
| 5819 | What one useful thing could I do for a living, for the support of mother and the children? |
| 5819 | What plague?" |
| 5819 | What would happen to me if thee should lose thy property and die? |
| 5819 | Where are you going?" |
| 5819 | Why is thee so discontented?" |
| 5819 | Why should I rust, and be stupid, and sit in inaction because I am a girl? |
| 5819 | Will there not always be rosin enough for the squeaking fiddle- bow? |
| 5819 | You got that basket of champagne? |
| 5819 | You have n''t looked about any yet, gentlemen? |
| 5819 | You''d rather sit here in front than go to my apartments? |
| 5819 | by the way-- New York, did you say? |
| 5823 | A waste of time, to purify the fountain of public law? 5823 Again I thought, Is this a theatre? |
| 5823 | And are n''t you tired sometimes of the struggle? |
| 5823 | Any scruples about capital punishment? |
| 5823 | Any which? |
| 5823 | Are you an idiot? |
| 5823 | Are you cold? |
| 5823 | Are you comfortable, Laura? |
| 5823 | But what are the ways? |
| 5823 | But,asked the Squire,"do you mean to abandon your land in Pennsylvania?" |
| 5823 | Can I see her letter? |
| 5823 | Can you read? |
| 5823 | Can you read? |
| 5823 | Can you read? |
| 5823 | Die and leave the Duchess to fight it out all alone? 5823 Do you mean to insult me?" |
| 5823 | Do you think you would be contented to live in Fallkill, and attend the county Court? |
| 5823 | Do you think, Mr. Dilworthy, that the Hawkinses will get much of the money? |
| 5823 | Does n''t it look like it? |
| 5823 | Have n''t any particular business, eh? 5823 Have you any conscientious objections to capital punishment?" |
| 5823 | Have you formed or expressed any opinion on this case, and do you know any of the parties? |
| 5823 | Have you heard of this case? |
| 5823 | Have you read anything about this case? |
| 5823 | How is it that the reports made no impression on you? |
| 5823 | How long does it take to disinfect itself of these minor impurities? |
| 5823 | I do n''t know, she has a kind of beauty-- she is not like--''Not like Alice?" |
| 5823 | I say, do you know what an oath is? |
| 5823 | I''m afraid you could n''t go down very far in four hours-- could you? |
| 5823 | Is she as beautiful as the newspapers say she is? |
| 5823 | It goes up into the dozens, does it? |
| 5823 | Now, Roberts, you are sure about this? |
| 5823 | Oh, bother the effect!--What is it they do do? 5823 Oh, yes it can, too""Why, how?" |
| 5823 | On what, for instance, just now? |
| 5823 | Own some terriers, eh? 5823 Then why waste all the session in that tomfoolery of trying members?" |
| 5823 | Tired? 5823 Well wo n''t it expel anybody?" |
| 5823 | Well, at last, what do you think happened? 5823 Well, what did Congress do?" |
| 5823 | Well, when nobody is expelled, what does the country think then? |
| 5823 | Well? |
| 5823 | Were there no combinations, no railroad jobs, no mining schemes put through in connection with the election? 5823 What for? |
| 5823 | What is to hinder having a home of my, own? |
| 5823 | What is your business? |
| 5823 | What is your reason for supposing that there is coal there? |
| 5823 | What sort of a home is it for the wife whose husband is always away riding about in his doctor''s gig? |
| 5823 | What-- sure that it''s coal? |
| 5823 | When did you strike it? |
| 5823 | Who does it have a good moral effect on? |
| 5823 | Who will pay for the sign, Ruth? |
| 5823 | Why, do you suppose they will hang a woman? 5823 Would this feeling rather incline you against a capital conviction?" |
| 5823 | Would you object to finding a person guilty-- of murder on evidence? |
| 5823 | You do n''t mean to say,asked Philip,"that he went in without paying anything?" |
| 5823 | Am I in some far- off monarchy, looking upon little princes and princesses? |
| 5823 | Am I in some strange foreign clime where the children are marvels that we know not of? |
| 5823 | Am I nothing-- to you?" |
| 5823 | And can you eat any thing?" |
| 5823 | And what do you think it was? |
| 5823 | And would you want me to be dependent, Philip?" |
| 5823 | At the same moment the lady in the bonnet advanced towards him and said something like,"George, will you go with me?" |
| 5823 | But thee did n''t listen to him again?" |
| 5823 | But what if he did? |
| 5823 | But, Ruth, do you think you would be happier or do more good in following your profession than in having a home of your own?" |
| 5823 | Coal? |
| 5823 | Come, now, how do they proceed?" |
| 5823 | Come, what is the matter? |
| 5823 | Could Laura have run away with him? |
| 5823 | Did anybody tell you to say you had no opinion about it?" |
| 5823 | Did he ever hear of this case? |
| 5823 | Did he not know that the very"spittoon"which his judgeship used cost the city the sum of one thousand dollars? |
| 5823 | Did it last year? |
| 5823 | Do n''t you see how our bad luck has worked on me? |
| 5823 | Do they say I shot him?". |
| 5823 | Do you suppose they will be so barbarous as that?" |
| 5823 | Do you think a Congress of ours could convict the devil of anything if he were a member?" |
| 5823 | Had he not helped to build and furnish this very Court House? |
| 5823 | Had the flight anything to do with Selby? |
| 5823 | Has n''t it good timber, and does n''t the railroad almost touch it?" |
| 5823 | Have not these big babies with beards filled all literature with their outcries, their griefs and their lamentations? |
| 5823 | Have you any conscientious scruples about capital punishment?" |
| 5823 | Have you ever heard of this case?" |
| 5823 | Hawkins?" |
| 5823 | He was about to be sworn, when the district attorney turning to him carelessly, remarked,"Understand the nature of an oath?" |
| 5823 | Hold on a bit? |
| 5823 | How do they proceed? |
| 5823 | I ask you, my little friends, What did my consciousness reply? |
| 5823 | I have been asking myself as I sat here, Where am I? |
| 5823 | I wonder if Mr. Bolton''would rather sell out or work it?" |
| 5823 | In Harry''s- room on the table Philip found this note:"Dear Mr. Brierly:--Can you meet me at the six o''clock train, and be my escort to New York? |
| 5823 | Is it a concert or a gilded opera? |
| 5823 | Is it nothing to show a disposition to sift things and bring people to a strict account? |
| 5823 | Is it some other vain, brilliant, beautiful temple of soul- staining amusement and hilarity? |
| 5823 | Is this woman a specimen of your western friends?" |
| 5823 | It shall never be said that Beriah Sellers--Come in?" |
| 5823 | Keep a rat pit?" |
| 5823 | Laura''s only reply was, very simply,"Did I shoot him? |
| 5823 | Let''s see?" |
| 5823 | Ruth, do you believe a woman ever becomes a devil?" |
| 5823 | Struck it, eh? |
| 5823 | The University bill was sure to pass this, time, and that would make money plenty, but might not the, help come too late? |
| 5823 | The attorney sat down, and the clerk called?" |
| 5823 | The clerk says that the gentleman asked her,"What do you want to see him for?" |
| 5823 | The man was about to be sworn, when Mr. Braham asked,"Could your father read?" |
| 5823 | Then what is it? |
| 5823 | Then what suggested it to you to volunteer that remark?" |
| 5823 | Then where am I? |
| 5823 | We took it to be that""Did you from the first?" |
| 5823 | Well, what''s your general business? |
| 5823 | What are you wilting down like that, for? |
| 5823 | What did my consciousness reply? |
| 5823 | What do you do for a living?" |
| 5823 | What else, can we get for you?" |
| 5823 | What quality is it?" |
| 5823 | What should you say it was, children? |
| 5823 | What was Laura''s object in taking Harry? |
| 5823 | What was it for?" |
| 5823 | What would he care for it then? |
| 5823 | When? |
| 5823 | Where could they, have gone? |
| 5823 | Where is it? |
| 5823 | Who would be alive to care for it then? |
| 5823 | Why, indeed, might we not feel pity for a woman whose brilliant career had been so suddenly extinguished in misfortune and crime? |
| 5823 | Would Harry be such a fool as to be dragged into some public scandal? |
| 5823 | Would it never get on? |
| 5823 | Would the clerk tell him that a lady and gentleman wished to see him for a moment in the parlor? |
| 5823 | Would you like to try it again in the spring, Phil?" |
| 5823 | Yes-- where am I? |
| 5821 | And that we owe the men and the contractors nearly ten thousand dollars besides? |
| 5821 | And then-- burst up, I suppose? |
| 5821 | Another appropriation, do n''t you see? |
| 5821 | Beg pardon? |
| 5821 | But how great, Laura? 5821 But is it going to be as much as people say it is?" |
| 5821 | But the poor Injuns-- not that I care much for Injuns-- what did he do for them? |
| 5821 | But what makes you think so? |
| 5821 | But will it be soon, Laura? |
| 5821 | Close? 5821 Did you see Hopperson last night after the congressional prayer meeting?" |
| 5821 | Do you find it hard and lonely to be so far from your home and friends, Miss Hawkins? |
| 5821 | Do you think any thing can be done, sir? |
| 5821 | Free? |
| 5821 | Have you Taine''s England? |
| 5821 | He said that, did he? |
| 5821 | I suppose you heard of the fright we had two weeks ago last Saturday? 5821 If you had n''t levied the assessment you would have been in a close place I judge?" |
| 5821 | Indeed? 5821 Indeed? |
| 5821 | Is it not so, mamma? |
| 5821 | Is there anything more? |
| 5821 | My daughter,said the Senator, with a grave look,"I trust there was nothing free in his manner?" |
| 5821 | Not exactly, he said-- shall I tell you what he said? |
| 5821 | Now does it, indeed? 5821 Now what can the girl mean? |
| 5821 | Oh, I saw Senator Balloon"He will help us, I suppose? 5821 They ought, ought they? |
| 5821 | Was that where you learned to play the bones? 5821 What do they say it is?" |
| 5821 | Why is n''t it? 5821 Why no-- can that be so?" |
| 5821 | Why so? |
| 5821 | Why, Phil,she would say,"what puts you in the dumps to day? |
| 5821 | All--"Indeed?" |
| 5821 | Am I right?" |
| 5821 | And then Hicks went on, with a serious air,"Colonel, if you register a letter, it means that it is of value, does n''t it? |
| 5821 | Are you fond of watering- places, Miss Hawkins?" |
| 5821 | Are you? |
| 5821 | B.''?" |
| 5821 | Brierly?" |
| 5821 | But how do those letters strike you?" |
| 5821 | But how would it strike you if I were to say that I was in Washington all the time this bill was pending? |
| 5821 | But to go back a bit, it begins to look as if you never saw any of that appropriation at all?" |
| 5821 | But where is it?" |
| 5821 | But, after all, was that the best way? |
| 5821 | Confound the girl, he would say to himself, why does she never tease Harry and that young Shepley who comes here? |
| 5821 | Did Ruth care for anybody at Fallkill? |
| 5821 | Did Ruth ever speak of him? |
| 5821 | Did n''t you show him he was in error about the bill?" |
| 5821 | Did she care for anything except her profession? |
| 5821 | Did she think Ruth cared for him? |
| 5821 | Do n''t you think so Colonel?" |
| 5821 | Do you know any of their signatures? |
| 5821 | Do you know their handwriting?" |
| 5821 | Do you know this signature here?--and this one? |
| 5821 | Do you know who those initials represent-- and are they forgeries?" |
| 5821 | Do you like winter, Miss Hawkins?" |
| 5821 | Do you think I am in love with her?" |
| 5821 | Does Alice appear to be present when she is absent?" |
| 5821 | Does he believe in anything?" |
| 5821 | Does it mend the matter by calling her your sister? |
| 5821 | Does she think I have turned idiot? |
| 5821 | Gashly?" |
| 5821 | Had Ruth a premonition of Philip''s intention, in his manner? |
| 5821 | Has, a confessor, if she is young and pretty, any feeling? |
| 5821 | Have n''t you paid the men?" |
| 5821 | Have you figured up the total of the disbursements I told you of?" |
| 5821 | He did not make any objections?" |
| 5821 | He''s a kind of--""Eh? |
| 5821 | Higgins?" |
| 5821 | How are we going to pay them when you do n''t honor our drafts?" |
| 5821 | How do you like Washington?" |
| 5821 | I can depend on you for that, ca n''t I?" |
| 5821 | I had to tell him some of the side arrangements, some of the--""You did n''t mention me?" |
| 5821 | I suppose I did ask you, did n''t I?" |
| 5821 | I suppose you seldom meet in society now, the people you used to be familiar with twelve or fifteen years ago?" |
| 5821 | I think we ought all-- to share our pleasures with others, and do what we can to make each other happy, do not you?" |
| 5821 | I wonder what Dilworthy does think of me anyway? |
| 5821 | Introductions followed, and then the usual original question,"How do you like Washington, Miss Hawkins?" |
| 5821 | Is it hymns?" |
| 5821 | Is n''t that so?" |
| 5821 | It is part of your business, then?" |
| 5821 | It is the land that''s to bring the money, is n''t it Laura? |
| 5821 | Laura--"And Hildebrand and Percy-- are they-- are they like this one?" |
| 5821 | Let me see-- have I stated all the expenses I''ve been at? |
| 5821 | Might I ask you to give me the time? |
| 5821 | Miss Emmeline Gashly--"What and leave poor Johnny Peterson behind?" |
| 5821 | Mrs. Gashly--"Is it your first visit?" |
| 5821 | Must you go? |
| 5821 | No? |
| 5821 | Oh bless my soul, you ca n''t mean that you have not paid these people?" |
| 5821 | Oreille?" |
| 5821 | Oreille?" |
| 5821 | Said he:"Have you ever read this, ma''m? |
| 5821 | Sellers took a like amount?" |
| 5821 | She caught such remarks as,"Who is she?" |
| 5821 | Some people jump to conclusions without any thought-- you have noticed that?" |
| 5821 | That''s good economy, is n''t it?" |
| 5821 | The Senator spoke with feeling, and then added,"I hope you showed Hopperson that our motives were pure?" |
| 5821 | The appropriation?--that paltry$ 200,000, do you mean?" |
| 5821 | The porter returned in a minute; and asked whom he would like to see? |
| 5821 | The president smiled blandly, even sweetly, all through this harangue, and then said:"Is that so?" |
| 5821 | The words were music to his ear; but what were they compared to the ravishing smile with which she flooded his whole system? |
| 5821 | Then after a pause-- he did not notice Laura''s smiles"Laura, would you lay the main hall in encaustic tiles, or just in fancy patterns of hard wood?" |
| 5821 | Then both came forward and the proprietor said:"Is it an American book, ma''m?" |
| 5821 | Then he said:"Now here, for instance; do you believe that that is a genuine letter? |
| 5821 | There''s two months''wages due the men, and----""How? |
| 5821 | There, now-- does that satisfy you?" |
| 5821 | Was it possible for a gentleman to get even with such a fellow as that conductor on the letter''s own plane? |
| 5821 | Was n''t it enough to have offered the lady his seat, to have rescued her from an accident, perhaps from death? |
| 5821 | Was n''t it old what''s his name? |
| 5821 | Well, was it a myth, or was it a reality? |
| 5821 | Well, well, well-- how did you ever have the nerve to approach him, of all others?" |
| 5821 | What did he say?" |
| 5821 | What woman, under the circumstances, would? |
| 5821 | What''s the road out?" |
| 5821 | Whatever become of it?" |
| 5821 | Why should he have put himself in such a ridiculous position? |
| 5821 | Why should n''t he speak his mind, and end his doubts? |
| 5821 | Will it be millions?" |
| 5821 | You are acquainted with the members down there, of course, else you could not have worked to such advantage?" |
| 5821 | You can tell me that much, ca n''t you?" |
| 5821 | You never suspected him?" |
| 5821 | You remember his saying that, daughter?" |
| 5821 | You remember, child, your father always admired thunder?" |
| 5821 | You subscribed for 100 shares of the capital stock, at$ 1,000 a share, I believe?" |
| 5821 | and what if I added that I put the measure through myself? |
| 5821 | supplemented by that other usual original question,"Is this your first visit?" |
| 5821 | that said only the beautiful is useful?" |
| 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 | Why did n''t it issue a fraud order? |
| 44274 | Why was the property idle? |
| 44274 | Why, if the Scheftels aggregation were guilty, did n''t the Post- Office Department do the raiding? |
| 44274 | With this$ 5,000?" |
| 44274 | Would n''t I be a player?" |
| 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? |
| 5822 | And his wife!--Does he take his family? 5822 And now perhaps you think that if I refuse to support your bill, you will make a grand exposure?" |
| 5822 | And you believed these slanders? |
| 5822 | And you do love me a little? |
| 5822 | Angry? |
| 5822 | Believe in what? |
| 5822 | But perhaps you do not know, you who have so much admiration, how sincere and overmastering his love is for you? |
| 5822 | By the way,asked Harry,"who is that rather handsome party that''s hanging''round Laura? |
| 5822 | Can I help it if they are attentive, can I be rude? 5822 Col. Selby, is it not?" |
| 5822 | Did I? |
| 5822 | Did Senator Bland? |
| 5822 | Did he copy your speech for you? |
| 5822 | Did you see those Japs, Miss Leavitt? |
| 5822 | Did you send for we merely to insult me? 5822 Did you? |
| 5822 | Do n''t you think he is distinguished looking? |
| 5822 | Do you know him? |
| 5822 | Do you? 5822 Does he know many Southerners?" |
| 5822 | Does he want any capital? 5822 Excuse my bluntness,"he continued,"but would the knowledge of his love; would his devotion, make any difference to you in your Washington life?" |
| 5822 | I suppose, though, you do n''t see much of the old rebel element? |
| 5822 | In respect to what? |
| 5822 | Indeed? 5822 Is anything uncommon going on?" |
| 5822 | It''s who? |
| 5822 | Laura? 5822 Miss Hawkins, what do yo mean by such talk as that?" |
| 5822 | No, is it? |
| 5822 | Ruth,said he one day when he was getting to be quite himself,"I believe in it?" |
| 5822 | Treat you how? |
| 5822 | Uncle, you and Brother Balaam are bosom friends-- why do n''t you get his paper to persecute us, too? |
| 5822 | Very well, I will do it-- but why not tell me how you imagine it is going to help you? |
| 5822 | Vote for a fr-- for a measure which is generally believed to be at least questionable? 5822 Washington weather generally can not be very congenial to you?" |
| 5822 | Well if he wants to make a great speech why does n''t he do it? |
| 5822 | Well if it was only a joke, why did you make a serious matter of it? 5822 Well, suppose it were a fraud-- which I feel able to deny-- would it be the first one?" |
| 5822 | Well, what WOULD have been the result? |
| 5822 | Well, would you mind telling me your opinion of it? |
| 5822 | Well? |
| 5822 | What do people say? |
| 5822 | What do they say? |
| 5822 | What is that? |
| 5822 | What is, dear? |
| 5822 | Who is he? 5822 Why do you treat me so?" |
| 5822 | Why, do you remember that yet, Miss Hawkins? 5822 Why, what is it, sis? |
| 5822 | With you? 5822 You do n''t say so? |
| 5822 | You know my bill-- the Knobs University bill? |
| 5822 | ; what would have been the result?" |
| 5822 | A suggestion came into her mind presently and she said:"Ca n''t you fight against his great Pension bill and, bring him to terms?" |
| 5822 | And a look of bitterness coming into her face-- does the fool think he can escape so? |
| 5822 | And besides, if I had been inclined to forget, I-- did you not give me something by way of a remembrancer?" |
| 5822 | And did you wake me sir? |
| 5822 | And if I win the game, will it be worth its cost after all? |
| 5822 | And what have rest and contentment to do with love? |
| 5822 | And why did n''t he kill me? |
| 5822 | And you think I will have it; George? |
| 5822 | And you''ve been here a week, Grace, and do n''t know? |
| 5822 | At breakfast she asked if any one had heard any unusual noise during the night? |
| 5822 | But have you kept that all this time?" |
| 5822 | But how is this going to benefit you, after I have managed it? |
| 5822 | But is n''t there something else you could give me, too?" |
| 5822 | But seriously, you do not forget that some of the best and purest men in Congress took that stock in that way?" |
| 5822 | But what could I do? |
| 5822 | But would one be in earnest about so farcical a thing?" |
| 5822 | Come, now, does n''t it improve?" |
| 5822 | Could he not go into some State where it would not take much time? |
| 5822 | Could it be possible that he was seriously affected? |
| 5822 | Did I say he? |
| 5822 | Did he not belong to her by virtue of her overmastering passion? |
| 5822 | Did this seem like a damnable plot to Laura against the life, maybe, of a sister, a woman like herself? |
| 5822 | Did you see his wife?" |
| 5822 | Do you recognize this?" |
| 5822 | Do you suppose he was ever approached, on the subject?" |
| 5822 | Do you think that color makes any difference, Mr. Hawkins? |
| 5822 | Had he not confessed it himself? |
| 5822 | Had she not a right to him? |
| 5822 | Had there not always been some way out of such scrapes? |
| 5822 | Have you any friend whom you would like to present with a salaried or unsalaried position in our institution?" |
| 5822 | Have you nothing to say?" |
| 5822 | Hawkins?" |
| 5822 | Hawkins?" |
| 5822 | Hawkins?" |
| 5822 | He could deal with those millions virtuously, and withal with ability, too-- but of course you would rather he had a salaried position?" |
| 5822 | How am I to move my crops? |
| 5822 | How came you here? |
| 5822 | How could the Colonel manage to free himself from his wife? |
| 5822 | I have been married once-- is that nothing in my favor?" |
| 5822 | I never wear an umbrella in the house-- did anybody''notice it''? |
| 5822 | I say''Well?'' |
| 5822 | I thought you were--""You thought I was dead? |
| 5822 | I was married, and--""And your wife still lives?" |
| 5822 | I wonder if he hates me as I do him?" |
| 5822 | If he deserved punishment, what more would you have? |
| 5822 | Indeed? |
| 5822 | Is it possible the town is saying all these things about me? |
| 5822 | Is it possible, she was thinking, that this base wretch, after, all his promises, will take his wife and children and leave me? |
| 5822 | Laura looked up quickly, as if about to return an indignant answer to such impertinence, but she only said,"Well, what of Col. Selby, sauce- box?" |
| 5822 | M.?" |
| 5822 | Mr. Trollop winced-- then he said with dignity:"Miss Hawkins is it possible that you were capable of such a thing as that?" |
| 5822 | Open your ears; for which of you will stop, The vent of hearing when loud Rumor speaks? |
| 5822 | Perhaps Miss Hawkins can?" |
| 5822 | Selby?" |
| 5822 | Selby?" |
| 5822 | Shall we bury the hatchet and be good friends and respect each other''s little secrets, on condition that I vote Aye on the measure?" |
| 5822 | Should we leave them ignorant? |
| 5822 | Should we leave them without tools? |
| 5822 | Sterling?" |
| 5822 | Still, what is all this to me? |
| 5822 | Tell me-- how did you get hold of that page of manuscript? |
| 5822 | That gawky looking person, with Miss Hawkins?" |
| 5822 | The law? |
| 5822 | Two millions? |
| 5822 | Was not her love for George Selby deeper than any other woman''s could be? |
| 5822 | Was that what you wanted to see me about?" |
| 5822 | Was there something good in him, after all, that had been touched? |
| 5822 | Well? |
| 5822 | What account should we render to Him of our stewardship? |
| 5822 | What am I going to do to give her up?" |
| 5822 | What can I do for you?" |
| 5822 | What can I do? |
| 5822 | What did he think the government would offer? |
| 5822 | What did she care for talk? |
| 5822 | What did they say as they sat there? |
| 5822 | What do you propose to do about it?" |
| 5822 | What do you propose?" |
| 5822 | What else were they for? |
| 5822 | What had come over this thrilling young lady- killer? |
| 5822 | What nothings do people usually say in such circumstances, even if they are three- score and ten? |
| 5822 | What of it? |
| 5822 | What was all this for and what does it amount to after all? |
| 5822 | What was he doing? |
| 5822 | What would the law do but protect him and make me an outcast? |
| 5822 | What- asleep? |
| 5822 | Where did you get it? |
| 5822 | Where was his coolness? |
| 5822 | Who is he, Blanche?" |
| 5822 | Why all these questions? |
| 5822 | Why did n''t he send his wife home? |
| 5822 | Why did you get the speech written for you, and then read it in the House without ever having it copied?" |
| 5822 | Why had he taken no steps to free himself? |
| 5822 | Would he smile as in the old days when she loved him so; or would he sneer as when she last saw him? |
| 5822 | Would it be long? |
| 5822 | Would you-- did you wish me to vote for it? |
| 5822 | You are not ignorant of his feeling towards you?" |
| 5822 | You are offended, though, to have me speak of it?" |
| 5822 | You seem to go the furthest around to get at a thing-- but you are in earnest, are n''t you?" |
| 5822 | You think I am as powerless as that day I fell dead at your feet?" |
| 5822 | You think I will let you live with that woman? |
| 5822 | You thought you were rid of me? |
| 5822 | You would n''t deceive me, Harry?" |
| 5822 | Your being with him so much is the town talk, that''s all?" |
| 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? |
| 26330 | what''s this?" |
