In Messico e fuori! .. . – fare affari, socialmente, che prima, e non fare così tanto denaro per i thebanchiere. E così con le altre linee di affari. Come sono state le ferrovie, le miniere, i negozi, a svolgere le loro vere funzioni? Una domanda dura. Il governo non sapeva solo come rispondere; essi needdhelp, ma couldnt ottenere dagli specialisti, perché il banchiere e tebroker, il commerciante e il minatore, sembrava pensare che tutto ciò che era necessario era di avviare business e i suoi privilegi di nuovo.

It may be foolish, but I believe that this man is as typical as any otherAmerican; that the trouble with our captains of industry is, not theirevil disposition but their special interests and their lack of understand-ing, and that that is the cause of the trouble on our
