44144	Do the mass of the public approve of it?--do they compel this species of action?
44144	Do you know why?
44144	Do you wish for a palpable proof of this?
44144	Do you wish to leave this dull algebra?

44144	Does it believe that its province is to regulate profits?
44144	He does not assume the ridiculous position of the champion of property, at the very moment of violating it; but how does he justify himself?
44144	Here are his words:--''Look at our custom- house tariff?
44144	I ask you, would not this be the height of oppression, a flagrant violation of all liberty, of the first and the most sacred principles of property?

16106	Suppose it does,say the two sophists;"is it not better to expose ourselves to the chance of an eventual_ invasion_, than to accept a certain one?"
16106	We come now to offer you an admirable opportunity for the application of your-- what shall we say? 16106 What shall be done, then, in an agricultural and manufacturing country?"
16106	What shall we do in case of war,say they,"if we have placed ourselves at the mercy of Great Britain for iron and coal?"
16106	Again, it will be objected, if we accustom ourselves to depend upon England for iron, what shall we do in case of a war with that country?
16106	And I now ask, of what benefit, under these circumstances, is the railway?
16106	And why all this?
16106	And why does not the fertility of one department paralyze the agriculture of a neighboring and less favored one?
16106	And why should nations impose such a restraint upon themselves?
16106	And why?
16106	And why?
16106	And yet it is wrong?
16106	Are you ill?
16106	But a bag of wheat, an ingot of iron, a quintal of coal-- are they the produce of labor?

16106	But, gentlemen, do you believe that merchants''books are good in practice?
16106	By our riches?
16106	By the result of our effort, or by the effort itself?
16106	Can such a question be asked?
16106	Can we explain how such a system could be reconciled with the ever- increasing prosperity of nations?
16106	Can we hesitate to say?
16106	Could we not have attained the same end by lowering the tariff to five dollars?
16106	DOES PROTECTION RAISE THE RATE OF WAGES?

16106	Did not Nature create them?"
16106	Did the Confederates in the late war lack for iron?

16106	Firstly, this is impossible; and, again, were it possible, how could such a system give relief?
16106	For the good of whom?

16106	How is this abusive trope introduced into the rhetoric of monopolists?
16106	I had this question to determine:"Why does any article made, for instance, at Montreal, bear an increased price on its arrival at New York?"
16106	If self- renunciation has so many claims for you, who prevents your carrying it into private life?
16106	If we then take an account of stock, is it not certain that we shall find more iron in the country, more coffee, more everything else?
16106	If, then, there be a general diminution of comforts, how, working men, can it be possible that_ your_ portion should be increased?
16106	In effect the question is, are purchases made abroad useful or injurious?
16106	In practice, is there one exchange in a hundred, in a thousand, in ten thousand perhaps, where there is a direct barter of product for product?
16106	Is it false?
16106	Is it not because that sum is the price of production?
16106	Is it true that protection, which avowedly raises prices, and thus injures you, proportionably raises the rate of wages?
16106	Is not this pure and unadulterated Sisyphism?
16106	Is that to say that they are no longer despoiled?
16106	Is there any other rule for international exchanges?
16106	Is this credible?
16106	Is this possible?
16106	Now what conclusion do our Congressmen draw from the sums entered into the custom- house, in this operation?
16106	Now what does this prove?
16106	Now, what is the defect in this argument?
16106	Now, why is this bag of wool worth a hundred dollars?
16106	On what depends the_ demand_ for labor?
16106	On what does the rate of wages depend?
16106	See http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/moagrp/ WHAT IS FREE TRADE?
16106	Something tells us that it must be wrong; but_ where_ is it wrong?
16106	The protectionists ask,"Are we sure that the foreigner will purchase as much from us, as he will sell to us?
16106	WHAT IS FREE TRADE?
16106	Was he the richer for this course?
16106	We exhibit precisely the same amount of reason, when we wish, by the expenditure of millions, to preserve our country-- From what?
16106	Well, what of that?
16106	What difference, then, is it possible to discover between the petitioners of Bordeaux and the advocate of American restriction?
16106	What do you say, and what say we?
16106	What is our course under these circumstances?
16106	What is, in effect, the prohibitive system?

16106	Which theory is right?
16106	While we point with pride to some prosperous manufacture, can we answer, whence comes the capital with which it is founded and maintained?
16106	Who, then, would be the loser?
16106	Why not, when they are seriously paraded in newspapers and in books?
16106	With what do they upbraid freedom of commerce?
16106	Would it be thus with errors which attack the moral world?
16106	Would not one suppose us all angels of disinterestedness?
16106	Would water, air, earth, fire, be less useful to man whether they were or were not elements?
16106	Yet what analogy is there between an exchange and an_ invasion_?
16106	and are these humors?
16106	no, nothing is more deceiving than theory-- your doctrine?
16106	or rather is it not drawn either from agriculture, or stock- breeding, or commerce?
16106	your principle?
16106	your system?
16106	your theory?
44145	5th, In short, after having voted the tax, do you wish to get free from it? 44145 And how can you give consistency to this mass of contradictions?"
44145	And if you found they were not in harmony?
44145	And if you procured the cloth from Verviers, how much would it cost you?
44145	And my question recurs,''What does it signify?'' 44145 And that cost him much labour?"
44145	And then?
44145	And then?
44145	And what did he live on during that time?
44145	And what is that, if you please?
44145	And where do these 20 francs go to?
44145	And who established the octroi?
44145	And why is it forbidden?
44145	But are you sure that the one will balance the other?
44145	But if you found that the just and the useful were one and the same thing?
44145	But suppose yourself already a minister, and that you experience no opposition from the majority, what would you do?
44145	But the question recurs,''What else?
44145	Certainly; do n''t you see that France would be a loser if you received twenty parcels, instead of fifteen?
44145	Did Robinson not see that he could devote the time saved to_ something else?_"What else?
44145	Did Robinson not see that he could devote the time saved to_ something else?_"What else?
44145	Do you desire proof of this? 44145 Even raw materials?"
44145	Exactly so; and with what?
44145	F.: Are you sure of that? 44145 F.: What matters it, if we have the game?
44145	Friday: What do you think of it? 44145 How do you suppose that our manufacturers can compete with foreign manufacturers who have their raw materials free?"
44145	How much do you pay for this wine?
44145	How much does this coat cost you?
44145	How much would you have paid for it outside the barrier?
44145	How?
44145	If my proposal is rejected, what am I to conclude? 44145 In sober earnest, can the two( except as regards revenue) be put in comparison for a moment?
44145	In two volumes folio?
44145	Is it necessary for me to enumerate the advantages of my proposal? 44145 Is it not that which,_ for a determinate amount of labour, obtains the greater quantity of cloth?_""It seems so."
44145	R.: Then, what shall we gain? 44145 So that what holds true of the one, holds true of the other?"
44145	The first question we have to consider is this: Is the correspondence which passes between individual citizens a proper subject of taxation? 44145 The whole army?"
44145	Then, if prohibition is bad, restriction can not be good?
44145	There would, then, be a certain amount of her labour rendered inert?
44145	To what?
44145	Well, what would you do?
44145	What happened to the hatchet?
44145	What is prohibition?
44145	What is restriction?
44145	What is the definitive effect of protection?
44145	What is the name which is common to restriction and prohibition?
44145	What is the reason of this difference?
44145	What should we do in case of war,it is said,"if we are placed at the mercy of England for iron and coal?"
44145	What?
44145	When?
44145	Where should they go to, but into the pocket of the cloth- manufacturer?
44145	Why are men attached to the system of protection?
44145	Why do you say apparent?
44145	Why, then, did you not order it from Verviers?
44145	Why? 44145 Why?"
44145	With what?
44145	)_"What course should an agricultural and manufacturing country take under such circumstances?
44145	Again, would you judge of the two doctrines?
44145	Am I not warranted in regarding their argument only as a pretext?
44145	And do the Chambers and the Government not obey the injunction?
44145	And do they not act in the interest of the civil list, which profits most of all from the policy of protection?
44145	And do they not avail themselves of the cupidity of Lille and the north?
44145	And do they not borrow from the same source the quibbles of protection?
44145	And do they not make use of the words drawback and budget?
44145	And do they not parody Lord George Bentinck and the British aristocracy?
44145	And for that end what ought we to do?
44145	And how do we proceed?
44145	And how does the postmaster then proceed?
44145	And now that we have put salt, postages, and customs duties on a new footing, does this end your projected reform?"
44145	And then, is it quite clear that our postal system has need to be reformed?
44145	And then, what service do they render me in return for this nectar which has cost me so much toil?
44145	And to what does all this tend?
44145	And to whose profit?
44145	And what does it matter?
44145	And what if I can hinder float- wood from being brought into Paris?
44145	And what is the remedy?
44145	And what religion more favourable to peace than Christianity?
44145	And what tax, pray, do I pay which does not reach the Treasury?"
44145	And where did this idea of establishing a policy of protection take its rise?
44145	And who gains by the cheapness of products?
44145	And why do they sell cheaper than you?
44145	And why not?
44145	And why not?
44145	And why should nations bring each other under a yoke of this kind?
44145	And why?
44145	And why?
44145	And yet what analogy is there between an exchange and an invasion?
44145	And yet, what do the Customhouse books tell M. Lestiboudois regarding this transaction?
44145	And you force me, as a tradesman, to purchase from you the product of the blunt hatchet?
44145	And your sham friends exclaim,"But for monopolies, where would you find employment?"
44145	And, please, Sir, for what purpose do you intend them?
44145	Are there not in Paris thirty thousand Germans who make clothes and shoes?
44145	Are they better clothed, because there is_ less_ cloth and linen?
44145	Are they not created by nature?
44145	Are two houses exactly similar necessarily of the same value?
44145	Are we farmers?
44145	Are we iron- masters?
44145	Are we manufacturers of cotton stuffs?
44145	Are we not represented as being all angels of disinterestedness?
44145	Are we physicians?
44145	Are we vine- dressers?
44145	Are you ill?
44145	Are you no longer in love with equality?
44145	At all events, who will tell us that the balance of trade is not in their favour, and that we are not obliged to pay them a tribute in hard cash?
44145	At the present time, when indigenous sugar supplies one- third of our consumption, how much land is devoted to that culture?
44145	At this rate, we shall all be ruined in three years, and what will become of the poorer classes?
44145	Better assisted in their labour, because there are_ fewer_ tools and_ less_ iron, copper, and machinery?
44145	Better warmed, because there is_ less_ coal?
44145	But Kouang persisted, and said:"Sire, what is your object?"
44145	But do you not find that it takes you by the throat?
44145	But does the law which says, We shall no longer receive such or such a product from abroad, we shall make it at home, augment the capital?
44145	But how and from what source will it be remunerated?
44145	But how can you manage it?
44145	But how does it show itself?
44145	But if the neighbouring communes had erected the octroi for their profit, what would have been the consequence?"
44145	But if this half being gratuitous, determines you to exclude competition, how should the whole, being gratuitous, induce you to admit competition?
44145	But is it not too much so?
44145	But is this a complete view of the subject?
44145	But it may be asked, Are the benefits of liberty so hidden as to be discovered only by Economists by profession?
44145	But it may be asked, Is there not a species of theft which is more simple still?
44145	But it may be said, Why make use of this ugly term, Spoliation?
44145	But of errors in the moral world, can the same thing be said?
44145	But take the case of a sack of corn, a bar of iron, a hundredweight of coals,--are these commodities produced by labour?
44145	But tell me what you intend to make of this last cask, the best of my whole stock?
44145	But tell me, gentlemen, if you regard the books of merchants as holding good in practice?
44145	But then what will the country in question have lost?
44145	But what are humours?
44145	But what constitutes the measure of our prosperity, or of our wealth?
44145	But what has happened?
44145	But when you lay down a principle in opposition to ours, you perhaps imagine you are not proceeding on theory?
44145	But which of them should legislation favour, as identical with the public good-- if, indeed, it should favour either?
44145	But which?
44145	But who ever claimed for it this character, or put forward on its behalf so exorbitant a pretension?
44145	But who reaps the advantage of this liberality of nature?
44145	But who would profit?
44145	But why should he contest the utility of the duty which has devolved upon us?
44145	But why?
44145	But will any one undertake to affirm that fire has become a greater evil since the introduction of insurance?
44145	Butter?
44145	Can Paris produce firewood as cheaply as the Forest of Bondy?
44145	Can it be explained how such a system could coexist with the constantly increasing prosperity of nations?
44145	Can we be surprised at this, when the public winks at it?
44145	Can you maintain that export duties will not be onerous?"
44145	D. to do with my wine?
44145	D., forsooth, is to make up his losses by laying hold of my wine?
44145	D., the cloth- manufacturer?
44145	D.?
44145	DOES PROTECTION RAISE THE RATE OF WAGES?
44145	Did not M. Saint Cricq exclaim,"Production is excessive?"
44145	Do n''t you see the great service you are rendering to the country?
44145	Do n''t you see we are providing employment for you?
44145	Do we attack their principle?
44145	Do we establish our doctrine?
44145	Do we not hear it said every day,"The foreigner is about to inundate us with his products?"
44145	Do workmen break machines?
44145	Do you desire to appreciate the bearing of an economic phenomenon?
44145	Do you desire to be in a situation to decide between liberty and protection?
44145	Do you imagine I am going to amuse myself by selling my timber at the price of float- wood?
44145	Do you not compete with one another?
44145	Do you not see that 48,000_ hectares_ of land, with capital and manual labour in proportion, are sufficient to supply all France with sugar?
44145	Do you resign the pen for the brush, to save your paying_ tribute_ to the shoeblack?
44145	Do you see the consequence?
44145	Do you think this probable?
44145	Do you want me to shut your mouth?
44145	Do you want to know whether you are rich?
44145	Does he not exact more than is due to him?
44145	Does he not take them by stealth or by force?
44145	Does not M. d''Argout urge as an argument against sugar- growing the very productiveness of that industry?
44145	Does not common sense tell us that we must equalize the conditions by a protective octroi tariff?
44145	Does she not always aspire at universal supremacy?
44145	Does the farmer make his own clothes?
44145	Does the tailor produce the corn he consumes?
44145	Does the tariff alone protect you?
44145	Does this mean that they are no longer plundered?
44145	Does your housekeeper continue to have your bread made at home, after she finds she can buy it cheaper from the baker?
44145	Dupin?)
44145	Est- ce que j''écris mal?
44145	Except, then, the sale of tobacco, what employment remains for your female subjects?
44145	From monopolists?
44145	From their point of view, I would ask what you could make of such rights if you had them?
44145	From whom does it come, then?
44145	Granted; but will not these prices be again raised by an increased demand?
44145	Has any one ever asserted, or is it possible to maintain, that scarcity is at the foundation of human wellbeing?
44145	Has every man as much of it as he would wish to have?
44145	Has he created the laws of gravitation, of the transmission of forces, of affinity?
44145	Has iron relations only with those who make it?
44145	Has it done so?
44145	Has it never occurred to you, that you thereby exercise over your brethren the most iniquitous species of spoliation?"
44145	Has it no relations with those who use it?
44145	Has not M. Bugeaud pronounced these words,"Let bread be dear, and agriculturists will get rich?"
44145	Has that accident nothing to do with his present unhappy state?
44145	Have I any voice in the matter?
44145	He receives in exchange-- what?
44145	How He could have willed that they should be unable to avoid Injustice and War except by renouncing the possibility of attaining prosperity?
44145	How can Paris ever compete with Normandy in dairy produce?
44145	How can agriculture flourish in such a locality?
44145	How do they manage to conceal them?
44145	How does each succeeding day bring what is wanted, nothing more, nothing less, to so gigantic a market?
44145	How is this brought about?
44145	How long will men shut their eyes to this simple truth?
44145	How many_ hectares_ had we under beet- root in 1828?
44145	How then can morality restrain acts of spoliation when public opinion places such acts in the rank of the most exalted virtue?
44145	How, for example, can we possibly produce milk and butter in Paris, with Brittany and Normandy at our door?
44145	I ask such people, as Harpagon asks Elise,**"Is it the word or the thing which frightens you?"
44145	I had at the time this question to resolve:"Why does an article manufactured at Brussels, for example, cost dearer when it comes to Paris?"
44145	I like your plan; but what comes of the poor cloth- manufacturer?"
44145	If abnegation has indeed so many charms for you, why do you fail to practise it in private life?
44145	If commerce were free, what use would you have for your great standing armies and powerful navies?....
44145	If religion is powerless, and if philosophy is equally powerless, how then are wars to be put an end to?
44145	If they ask how we are to pay for these things?
44145	If you are asked what, then, is to be done?
44145	If you open your gates freely to these rival products, what will become of the cowfeeders, woodcutters, and pork- butchers?
44145	Infallible, did I say?
44145	Is it credible?
44145	Is it established or maintained with capital which has fallen from the moon?
44145	Is it not an incontestable axiom in political economy that taxes ultimately fall on the consumer?
44145	Is it not because that is its cost price?
44145	Is it not evident that if the industry of Poitou were transplanted to Paris, it would open up a steady demand for Parisian labour?
44145	Is it not their business to put an end to the practice?
44145	Is it not very convenient to be in a situation to address yourselves to him?"
44145	Is it the result of the effort?
44145	Is it worth while exposing seriously such an abuse of language?
44145	Is it, or is it not, true, that if we admit firewood, meat, and butter freely or at a lower duty, our markets will be inundated?
44145	Is its sole and ultimate destination to be produced?
44145	Is not this_ sisyphism_ in all its purity?
44145	Is our industry_ en masse_ diminished in consequence?
44145	Is philanthropy to be again brought into play?
44145	Is repose nothing?
44145	Is that what is called selling?
44145	Is the consumption of cloth a fixed and invariable quantity?
44145	Is the essential thing to_ make it_, or to_ get it?_""A very sensible question, truly!
44145	Is the manufacturer not beholden to nature in his processes?
44145	Is there a different law for international exchanges?
44145	Is there any certainty that we should do either the one or the other?
44145	Is there in the world a more melancholy picture than this?"
44145	Is there no means, then, of counteracting this singular measure that Peter and his colleagues got adopted twenty years ago?
44145	Is this possible?
44145	It is with M. Lestiboudois, then, that we must deal, for how can we argue with M. Gauthier?
44145	It may be asked how this abuse of words first came to be introduced into the rhetoric of the monopolists?
44145	J.: And what becomes of the capital?
44145	J.: And what benefit do I derive from this now?
44145	J.: And what service do they render me?
44145	J.: And would that balance not be quite as well maintained if the European powers were to reduce their forces by one- half or three-fourths?
44145	J.: How?
44145	J.: I am sorry to hear it, but what can I do?
44145	J.: Shall I re- elect him, to divide my wine among Africans and manufacturers?
44145	Jacques: And after that?
44145	Jacques: And after that?
44145	Jacques: But the Treasury?
44145	Jacques: What connexion is there between the two subjects of comparison?
44145	John: And I, what shall I gain by overcharging you for my sausages, if you overcharge me for my faggots and bread and butter?
44145	John: And after that?
44145	John: And after that?
44145	John: And after that?
44145	John: And after that?
44145	John: And after that?
44145	John: And after that?
44145	John: And after that?
44145	John: And if the letters are prepaid?
44145	John: And then?
44145	John: And then?
44145	John: And then?
44145	John: And then?
44145	John: And then?
44145	John: And then?
44145	John: And what is that?
44145	John: Do not the Treasury and the public sail in the same boat?
44145	John: How so?
44145	L.: And upon what does the gallant general live?
44145	L.: What would happen to him if he voted a reduction of the army, and of your contingent?
44145	L.: Whom did you vote for as deputy?
44145	L.: Why should you indulge in complaints?
44145	L.: Would you consider two tuns as more than your fair contribution to the expense of the army and navy?
44145	L.: You have secured twenty tuns of wine?
44145	Labour of every kind is in itself sufficiently repugnant to warrant one in asking to what result it leads?
44145	M. Simiot proposes this question:-- Should the proposed railway from Paris to Madrid offer a solution of continuity at Bordeaux?
44145	M. de Saint- Cricq inquires,"Whether it is certain that the foreigner will buy from us as much as he sells?"
44145	Mais ne puis- je savoir ce que dans mon sonnet?...
44145	Meat?
44145	Men are, no doubt, not so well provided with what they want; but are we to impute this to free- trade, or to the bad harvests?
44145	Milk?
44145	No; nothing is more deceptive than theory; your doctrine?
44145	Now I would ask, Are the people who live under our laws better fed because there is_ less_ bread, meat, and sugar in the country?
44145	Now, I ask, would we not have attained the same result by lowering the tariff by 5 francs?
44145	Now, do you follow me?
44145	Now, on what does the_ supply_ of labour depend?
44145	Now, what does this prove?
44145	Now, when there are fewer enjoyments upon the whole, will the workman''s share of them be augmented?
44145	Now, why is this sack of wool worth 100 fr.?
44145	Of these two means, which is the best?"
44145	Of these two processes, which exercises the more efficacious influence on social progress?
44145	On what does the rate of wages depend?
44145	On what does the_ demand_ for labour depend?
44145	Open their books and their journals; and what do you find?
44145	Paul: How do you like this Normandy butter?
44145	Paul: To give a man something at a lower price-- is that what you call beating him?
44145	Perhaps you will not object to read my defence?
44145	Practically how are such matters transacted?
44145	Provided the bankers I represent offer sufficient security, under what pretext can my proposal be refused acceptance?
44145	Public opinion alone can overturn such an edifice of iniquity; but where can it make a beginning, when every stone of the edifice is tabooed?
44145	Remark this: A nation isolates itself looking forward to the possibility of war; but is not this very act of isolating itself the beginning of war?
44145	So much for the disposal of one tun; but what about the five others?
44145	Some people will say, You are partisans, then, of the_ laissez passer?_--economists of the school of Smith and Say?
44145	Son: And when is this to stop?
44145	Son: How can that be, seeing he has got rid of competition?
44145	Son: How did that happen?
44145	Son: The three magistrates must have made a large fortune?
44145	Suppose it accomplished, what would you do?
44145	Surely, in making him my proxy, I was guilty of a piece of folly; for what is there in common between a general officer and a poor vinedresser?
44145	Take the case of any producer whatever, what is his immediate interest?
44145	The general wealth has increased, no doubt; but has the individual wealth of the shoemakers and tailors been diminished?
44145	The lottery gone, what means have we of providing for our_ protégées?_ Tobacco- shops and the post- office.
44145	The people, moreover, find their arguments too clear, and why should they be expected to believe what is so easily understood?
44145	The slaves regret to part with their chains, for they ask themselves,"Whence will come the cassava?"
44145	Then you simply desire to deprive our workmen of employment, of wages, and of bread?"
44145	Then, I venture to ask, what, under such circumstances, is the good of your railway?
44145	These offices have been shut up by a pitiless philanthropy, and on what pretext?
44145	To which of these two last circumstances are we to attribute the first?
44145	Was he the richer for this?
44145	Was it necessary to insinuate that we free- traders are the agents of England, of the south of France, of the government?
44145	We are about to offer you an admirable opportunity of applying your-- what shall we call it?
44145	We display exactly the same degree of wisdom and sense, when we desire, at the cost of millions, to defend our country.... From what?
44145	Well, on this hypotheses, what reason should we have to regret the stoppage of industrial production?
44145	What are we to expect, for instance, from the cultivation of beet- root?
44145	What are your deductions from them?
44145	What can the soil be made to produce with a well- founded expectation of fair remuneration?
44145	What difference, then, can we possibly discover between the Bordeaux petitioners and the Corypheus of restriction?
44145	What do such phrases mean?
44145	What do we say; and what do they say?
44145	What do we see?
44145	What do you mean?
44145	What does it signify?
44145	What gain will it be to the people if foreign competition, which may damage their sales, does not benefit them in their purchases?
44145	What good can result from liberty to purchase if you want the means-- in other words, if you are out of employment?
44145	What has become of the culture of indigo by slave labour?
44145	What has been the result?
44145	What has that to do with your butter?
44145	What have you got to say?''
44145	What is astonishing in all this?
44145	What is done with the letters that are put into the post- office?
44145	What is it that we protect in France?
44145	What is the immediate interest of the consumer?
44145	What is the object in view?
44145	What is the present destiny of women in France?
44145	What is your second article?"
44145	What more powerful means of rendering a people moral than religion?
44145	What more proofs would you have?
44145	What more would you have?
44145	What shall I say of the vine- dressers?
44145	What shallow writer fails to devote himself to the wellbeing of the working classes?
44145	What should we make of these three hours?
44145	What takes place, and what is resolved upon?
44145	What takes place?
44145	What use would it be to prohibit the importation of houses by sea or by land?"
44145	What was I thinking of?
44145	What would you be at?
44145	What, then, is to be gained by it?
44145	What, under such circumstances, are we to do?
44145	What?
44145	When called upon to elect those whose province it is to determine the sphere and remuneration of governmental action, whom do they choose?
44145	When did you take your seat in the Palais Bourbon?
44145	When shall we be done with these puerile declamations?
44145	When shall we cease to exhibit this nauseous contradiction between our professions and our practice?
44145	When they set about reforming the convents in Spain, they asked the beggars,"Where will you now find food and clothing?
44145	When will_ tartuferie_ be finally banished from science?
44145	Whence this difference?
44145	Where is your place, then, in the Chamber of Peers?
44145	Where will that land us?
44145	Which is best for man, and for society, abundance or scarcity?
44145	Who could entertain for a moment any such thought?
44145	Who has consulted you?
44145	Why are they permitted to establish themselves alongside of you while the importation of cloth is restricted?
44145	Why do you drive away the Belgians?
44145	Why should I go on tormenting myself with this dry and dreary science of_ Political Economy?_ Why?
44145	Why should I go on tormenting myself with this dry and dreary science of_ Political Economy?_ Why?
44145	Why then should not the foreigner bear the charges necessary to the production of the commodity of which ultimately he is the consumer?"
44145	Why was this?
44145	Why?
44145	Why?
44145	Why?
44145	Will it be said that there is something else to be paid for, materials, apparatus, etc.?
44145	With what do they reproach free trade?
44145	Wool?
44145	Would such a pretended reform not overturn the whole existing state of things?
44145	Would you explain yours to me?
44145	Would you venture to pull it down?
44145	Yet what have we witnessed for eighteen hundred years?
44145	You allow that France could make this something else to exchange for cloth, with a less expenditure of labour than if she had made the cloth itself?"
44145	You ask me, then, What is your conclusion?
44145	You ask what gain this would be to the people?
44145	You ask, Who is to find you employment?
44145	You fancy, perhaps, that the Customhouse is merely an instrument of taxation, like the_ octroi_ or the toll- bar?
44145	You have doubtless invented a new tax?"
44145	and do you lay taxation out of account?
44145	and is there any such disease?
44145	and who, after having inundated us with their hams and sausages, take perhaps nothing from us in return?
44145	but who protects you workmen?
44145	butter as cheaply as Normandy?
44145	cry the two sophists; is it not better to expose ourselves to an eventual invasion than accept an invasion which is certain?
44145	gratis?
44145	he of course ran to appropriate it?"
44145	in charity?
44145	is slavery then invulnerable?
44145	is there a human foresight apart from humanity?
44145	meat as cheaply as Poitou?
44145	or is it the effort itself?
44145	or, again,"Can you arrange to barter this Newcastle coal against this champagne wine?"
44145	said the physician,"do you make no allowance for his broken arms?
44145	who will deliver me from this hurricane of reforms?
44145	will it be said that because you are workmen you are for that reason unintelligent and immoral?
44145	you exclaim, can that be a question?
44145	your principle?
44145	your system?
44145	your theory?
20161	As in a time of war, supremacy is attained by superiority in arms, can, in a time of peace, supremacy be secured by superiority in labor?
20161	At the end of a year, will you find an additional crown in a bag of one hundred shillings? 20161 Do you tell us, that if we gain by this protection, France will not gain, because the consumer must pay the price of it?
20161	Friend,you will say,"I would be glad to protect you and your colleagues; but how can I confer such favors upon the labor of carpenters?
20161	How can you think of such a thing?
20161	Is England doing anything more than pursuing the same end by different means? 20161 Unhappy people,"they say to the colored men,"who will feed you?
20161	We come now to offer you an admirable opportunity for the application of your----what shall we say? 20161 What will we do,"it is asked,"in case of war, if we are at the mercy of England for our iron and coal?"
20161	What, then, ought to be the course of an agricultural and manufacturing country? 20161 Will a work of industry or of skill produce another, at the end of fourteen years?
20161	--Ah, yes; does not the same thing happen in the Black Forest?
20161	--And if you found they did not agree?
20161	--And that gave him an abundance of work?
20161	--And then?
20161	--And what would happen were he to vote for a reduction of the army and your military establishment?
20161	--And where do these twenty francs go?
20161	--But are you sure that will be an equivalent?
20161	--But suppose you see that_ justice_ and_ utility_ are one?
20161	--But what connection is there between D----''s bad speculations and my hogshead?
20161	--But what do you propose to do with this poor hogshead, the flower of my flock?
20161	--But what other thing?
20161	--Did not Robinson see that he could use the time saved in doing_ something else_?
20161	--Do you believe that two would be too much for your share of the army and navy expenses?
20161	--Do you not know that D---- has started a magnificent establishment very useful to the country, but which loses much money every year?
20161	--Do you now understand that yourself?
20161	--Do you recollect how Robinson Crusoe, having no saw, set to work to make a plank?
20161	--Even_ raw materials_?
20161	--Exactly, and with what?
20161	--How can it be true?
20161	--How can our manufactories compete with foreign ones which have these_ raw materials_ free?
20161	--How do you harmonize this mass of contradictions?
20161	--How much did you pay for this wine?
20161	--How much does this suit of clothes cost you?
20161	--How much would it have cost you if you had gotten the cloth from Belgium?
20161	--How much would you have paid outside the city gates?
20161	--How?
20161	--How?
20161	--I?
20161	--If they say to you: What, then, is to be done?
20161	--If they say to you: With what shall we pay?
20161	--In two folio volumes?
20161	--Is it not that which,_ for a fixed amount of labor, gives the greatest quantity of cloth_?
20161	--Is it worth while to relieve a portion from service in order to call out everybody?
20161	--Just imagine that you are so, and that consequently the majority is not opposed to you, what would you do?
20161	--On what does this excellent General live?
20161	--Prudence?
20161	--So that really it is the consumer who pays the tax?
20161	--So that what is said of one is true of the other?
20161	--The whole army?
20161	--Then a certain quantity of its labor will become inert?
20161	--Then it is in reality your labor that you exchange for cloth, and French labor that is exchanged for coffee?
20161	--Then it is not absolutely necessary to make what one consumes?
20161	--Then why did you not get it there?
20161	--This denial, then, costs you twenty francs?
20161	--Thus, according to you, these arguments, which in Robinson''s mouth are so false, are no less so in the mouths of our protectionists?
20161	--Well, what would you do?
20161	--What can they do there which will be of service to me?
20161	--What did he live on during this time?
20161	--What good do I get from it now?
20161	--What happened to the ax?
20161	--What is prohibition?
20161	--What is restriction?
20161	--What is that?
20161	--What is the common name for restriction and prohibition?
20161	--What is the definite effect of protection?
20161	--What is the use of these hard words?
20161	--What next?
20161	--What''_ something else_''?
20161	--What, pray?
20161	--What?
20161	--When?
20161	--Where did the principal go?
20161	--Where do they go?
20161	--Which is best for a nation, to have the choice of these two ways, or to have the law forbid its using one of them at the risk of rejecting the best?
20161	--Who established the_ octroi_?
20161	--Whom did you support for Deputy?
20161	--Why are men so attached to the protective system?
20161	--Why do you say_ apparent_?
20161	--Why not?
20161	--Why this difference?
20161	--Why?
20161	--Why?
20161	--With what?
20161	--You are jesting, my dear Mr. Collector; have I a vote in the legislative halls?
20161	--You mean to say to D----?
20161	And I now ask, of what benefit, under these circumstances, is the railroad?
20161	And all this for what?
20161	And do not they use the English words_ drawback_ and_ budget_?
20161	And for those who are not deceived, what can be more_ forced_, since, at the first refusal to pay, the officer is at our doors?
20161	And the remedy?
20161	And then, if it is so, who would lend these instruments, these materials, these provisions?
20161	And to what does all this tend?
20161	And upon what have these pretensions been based?
20161	And what direct benefit do the people derive from it?
20161	And what has been the result?
20161	And what more calculated to mislead opinion than writings, which, while they proclaim free trade, support the doctrines of monopoly?
20161	And why do they sell cheaper than you do?
20161	And why does not the fertility of one department paralyze the agriculture of a neighboring and less favored one?
20161	And why?
20161	And why?
20161	And yet what analogy can exist between an exchange and an invasion?
20161	And yet what has been witnessed during eighteen centuries?
20161	And, as for ourselves, what would become of us?
20161	Anyhow, who says that the balance of trade is not in their favor, and that we are not compelled to pay them a tribute in money?
20161	Are there not in Paris thirty thousand Germans who make clothes and shoes?
20161	Are there relations only between iron and those who make it?
20161	Are they better dressed because there are_ fewer_ goods?
20161	Are we agriculturists?
20161	Are we iron- workers?
20161	Are we manufacturers of cotton goods?
20161	Are we physicians?
20161	Are we vine- growers?
20161	Are you sick?
20161	As might be expected, James at this proposal did not fail to cry out,"How can you think of such a thing, William?
20161	At the end of a year, says M. Thoré, will you find an additional crown in a bag of a hundred pounds?
20161	At the end of fourteen years, will your shillings have doubled in your bag?
20161	Better warmed because there is_ less_ coal?
20161	But Kouang persisted and said:"My Lord, what is your object?"
20161	But are you certain, in laying down your principles, so antagonistic to ours, that you too are not building up theories?
20161	But by what do we measure our well- being?
20161	But can it be thus with errors which affect the moral world?
20161	But do they protect you, workmen?
20161	But do you not think it is a little strong?
20161	But have they ever thought of saying that fire was no longer a scourge, since there were insurance companies?
20161	But how is this?
20161	But how will you manage it?
20161	But if not, of what use is it?
20161	But if the neighboring country districts had established this_ octroi_ for their profit, what would happen?
20161	But in trade, do two_ equal_ values cease to be equal, because one comes from the plough, and the other from the workshop?"
20161	But in what is this manifested?
20161	But is it not your system which has perverted everything, both institutions and ideas?
20161	But is there no simpler variety of robbery?
20161	But is this a complete view of the subject?
20161	But it may be said, are then the benefits of free trade so hidden as to be perceptible only to economists by profession?
20161	But must we conclude from this that Athens and Rome were inhabited only by dishonest persons?
20161	But what are these humors, or are there any humors at all?
20161	But what becomes of the poor cloth manufacturer?
20161	But what can I do to help him?
20161	But which?
20161	But who has ever made such an exorbitant pretension in its name?
20161	But who reaps the advantage of this liberality of Nature?
20161	But why does he dispute the utility of that which belongs to us?
20161	But why?
20161	But with what, it may be asked, will they be remunerated?
20161	But, gentlemen, do you believe that merchants''books are good in practice?
20161	But, then, you will say,"What is the use of this treatise?
20161	But, you will say, where is the advantage?
20161	Butter?
20161	By the_ result_ of our effort, or by the_ effort itself_?
20161	By what law is the rate of these remunerative services established?
20161	Can Paris compete with Normandy in raising cows?
20161	Can Paris produce wood as cheaply as the forest of Bondy, or meat at as low price as Poitou, or butter as easily as Normandy?
20161	Can any one imagine that all these objects of consumption can be thus left untouched by the masses, without lowering prices?
20161	Can he so direct the affairs of mortals, that they can only renounce war and injustice by, at the same time, renouncing their own welfare?
20161	Can it be explained how such a system could be connected with the constantly increasing prosperity of these nations?
20161	Can we be astonished at this when the public pay no attention to it?
20161	Can you claim that an export duty is not onerous?
20161	Can you conceive of one product being_ worth_ another, if, in the barter, one of the parties is not_ free_?
20161	Can you possibly conceive of political economy without society?
20161	Can you possibly conceive that one of the contracting parties is deprived of his liberty unless he is oppressed by the other?
20161	Can you possibly conceive the idea of_ value_, except as the result of the_ free_ consent of the exchangers?
20161	Certainly; do you not see that France would be a loser, if you were to receive twenty bundles instead of fifteen?
20161	Could a more mournful picture of the world be imagined than this?"
20161	Could we not have attained the same end by lowering the tariff to five francs?
20161	DOES PROTECTION RAISE THE RATE OF WAGES?
20161	Did you never think of this when seeing nine- tenths of your countrymen deprived during the winter of that superior cloth that you make?
20161	Do n''t you know fraternity has been proclaimed?
20161	Do n''t you know that a loan ought to be gratuitous?
20161	Do n''t you know that capital is naturally unproductive?
20161	Do not they borrow from her the sophisms of protection?
20161	Do not they favor the views of the Custom House officers, who gain more than anybody else by this protective_ regime_?
20161	Do not they form a part of his sad destiny?
20161	Do not they parody Bentinck and the British aristocracy?
20161	Do not they serve the greed of Lille, and the manufacturing North?
20161	Do not you compete with one another?
20161	Do not you see that we create you labor?"
20161	Do not you see what a great service you render to the country?
20161	Do they have equal opportunities for mental and moral improvement?
20161	Do two houses which are precisely alike necessarily rent for the same sum?
20161	Do we attack their principles?
20161	Do we not hear it said every day,"Foreign nations are inundating us with their productions"?
20161	Do we not see workmen destroying and breaking machinery?
20161	Do we prove our doctrine?
20161	Do you ask who will furnish you work?
20161	Do you know why the principle of right of inheritance is thus called in question?
20161	Do you lay down your pen to take up the blacking- brush in order to avoid paying tribute to the shoe- black?
20161	Do you not see that 48,000 hectares of land, with capital and labor in proportion, will suffice to furnish sugar to all France?
20161	Do you not still love equality?
20161	Do you propose to compare modern commerce to mere exchanges?
20161	Do you raise your hand against it?
20161	Do you say, it is not possible that an entire nation could see an_ increase of riches_ where the inhabitants plundered one another?
20161	Do you see the consequences?
20161	Do you think that I shall amuse myself by selling my wood at the price of other wood?
20161	Do you want I should leave you without an answer?
20161	Do you wish the proof of this?
20161	Do you wish to know whether you are rich?
20161	Does he not require of me more than his due?
20161	Does he not take it furtively, or by force?
20161	Does it follow that our labor, as a whole, is thereby diminished?
20161	Does it not appear plainly enough, in fact, that Peter asks of Paul a new and an additional service; one of a different kind?
20161	Does it not exist independently of this circumstance?
20161	Does not common sense say that the conditions must be equalized by a protecting duty?
20161	Does not even the weakest writer devote himself to the well- being of the laboring classes?
20161	Does not the manufacturer also call upon nature to assist him?
20161	Does not your housekeeper cease to make her bread at home, as soon as she finds it more economical to buy it from the baker?
20161	Does progress consist in the relative increase of the second or of the first term of this proportion?
20161	Does she not constantly aspire to universal supremacy?
20161	Does the agriculturist make his own clothes?
20161	Does the tailor produce the grain which he consumes?
20161	Does this make your hair stand?
20161	Does this mean that they are no longer robbed?
20161	Dupin?
20161	Everybody, do you understand?
20161	Exactly such a degree of wisdom do we exhibit, when at the expense of millions, we strive to preserve our country.... From what?
20161	Firstly, this is impossible; and, again, were it possible, how could such a system give relief?
20161	For the good of whom?
20161	For what tariff protects the poor?
20161	From their point of view, what could you do with them?
20161	Has it been so?
20161	Has it ever been pretended, is it possible to maintain, that scarcity can be the basis of a man''s happiness?
20161	Has it fallen from the moon?
20161	Has it none with those who use it?
20161	Has not Mr. Bugeaud said,"Let bread be dear and the agriculturist will be rich"?
20161	Has not Mr. d''Argout produced the fruitfulness of the sugar culture as an argument against it?
20161	Has not Mr. de Saint Cricq said,"Production is superabundant"?
20161	Has there ever been a religion more favorable to peace or more universally received than Christianity?
20161	Have I not a right to look upon your argument as a mere pretext?
20161	Have you never thought that you practice on your brothers the most iniquitous spoliation?"
20161	He casts it into the_ national_ circulation, and receives in exchange-- what?
20161	He ran to pick it up?
20161	How can agriculture flourish there?
20161	How can each day bring just what is necessary, nothing less, nothing more, to this gigantic market?
20161	How can that be true which is so very simple?
20161	How can they restrain these acts of spoliation when these very acts are raised by public opinion to the level of the highest virtues?
20161	How does this come about?
20161	How has this delusive figure of speech introduced itself into the rhetoric of monopolists?
20161	How in such an hypothesis could laborious production be regretted?
20161	How many are there at this time, when our domestic sugar supplies one- third of the consumption of the country?
20161	How many hectares were planted in beets in the year 1828?
20161	How then has it happened, that in the eyes at once of laborers, editors and statesmen, abundance should appear alarming, and scarcity advantageous?
20161	How, but by metaphors?
20161	How, for instance, can they expect us to make milk and butter in Paris as against Brittany and Normandy?
20161	How, it may be exclaimed, can such a question be asked?
20161	How, then, are they kept in darkness?
20161	I ask you then why this bag of wool is worth a hundred francs?
20161	I ask you to do me a service; what service do you ask of me in return?
20161	I had this question to determine:"Why does any article made, for instance, at Brussels, bear an increased price on its arrival at Paris?"
20161	I re- elect the General to give away my wine to Africans and manufacturers?
20161	I say to them as Harpagon did to Elise, Is it the_ word_ or the_ thing_ that alarms you?
20161	If foreign nations are not allowed to render services to us, how shall we render them the service of bread?
20161	If religion has been impotent, if philosophy is powerless, how is war to cease?
20161	If this goes on, we shall all be ruined in three years, and what will become of the poor people?
20161	If this tax was remitted, would you not get work yourselves, and on your own account too?
20161	If you only do me a service for the sake of receiving one from me in return, what merit would you have?
20161	If you open the doors to these rival products, what will become of the wood cutters, pork dealers, and cattle drivers?
20161	If you please, what do you propose to do with them?
20161	If, then, there be a general diminution of comforts, how, workmen, can it be possible that_ your_ portion should be increased?
20161	In the inquiry, the operatives themselves explained this phenomenon thus:"What is the use of pinching?
20161	In this case, shall I not be living at the expense of others?
20161	In this social arrangement, is there not a monstrous evil to be reformed?
20161	In what does it consist?
20161	Is all ended there?
20161	Is each one as well provided with it as he might and should be?
20161	Is it certain that we will do this rather than that?
20161	Is it consistent with the nature of things, and with justice, that capital should produce interest?
20161	Is it consistent with the nature of things, and with justice, that the interest of capital should be perpetual?
20161	Is it necessary then seriously to criticise such abuses of language?
20161	Is it not an incontestable maxim in political economy, that taxes must, in the end, fall upon the consumer?
20161	Is it not because this is its price of production?
20161	Is it not natural that each should keep what he has made with his own hands, as well as his hands themselves?
20161	Is it not nature which_ creates_ them?
20161	Is it not plain that if this Poitevin industry were planted in Paris, it would open new fields to Parisian labor?
20161	Is it not that which has caused stoppages; and do not stoppages, in their turn, lower wages?
20161	Is it not the borrower first, and finally, the consumers of the things which the capitals contribute to produce?
20161	Is it not to cause justice to rule among all?
20161	Is it not to hold the balance even between all rights, all liberties, and all property?
20161	Is it not to prevent and to repress oppression and robbery wherever they are found?
20161	Is it not true that if we admit butter, wood, and meat, we shall be inundated with them, and die of a plethora?
20161	Is it not true that this pretended reform would overthrow all existences?
20161	Is it not true, Sire, that if Utopians were to suddenly demand the freedom of the right hand, they would spread alarm throughout the country?
20161	Is it not very convenient to apply to him?"
20161	Is it possible for you to conceive of the free consent of two parties without liberty?
20161	Is it the cloth- manufacturer who has created the laws of gravitation, transmission of forces and of affinities?
20161	Is it the essential thing_ to make it, or to have it_?
20161	Is it true that protection, which avowedly raises prices, and thus injures you, raises proportionably the rate of wages?
20161	Is its definite and only destination to be produced?
20161	Is not leisure an essential spring in the social machine?
20161	Is not this pure and unadulterated_ Sisyphism_?
20161	Is rest nothing?
20161	Is that called selling?
20161	Is that just?
20161	Is that the road to_ supremacy_, for foreigners?
20161	Is the consumption of cloth a fixed and invariable quantity?
20161	Is there a more potent moral influence than religion?
20161	Is there any other rule for international exchanges?
20161	Is there any safety but in the bounty?
20161	Is there, then, no means of repealing this unjust measure that Pierre and his colleagues adopted twenty years ago?
20161	Is this credible?
20161	Is this possible?
20161	Is this saying that it will ever reach zero?
20161	Is this too bold a request on my part?
20161	It is, then, with Mr. Lestiboudois that we will argue, for how is it possible to do so with Mr. Gauthier?
20161	It may be asked,"Why this ugly word-- spoliation?
20161	It seems to me that I was unwise in making him my agent; for what is there in common between the General of an army and the poor owner of a vineyard?
20161	L. You have secured twenty hogsheads of wine?
20161	Let them learn this lesson, then; doubtless, capitals are good for those who possess them: who denies it?
20161	Let us then suppose a producer of whatever kind; what is his immediate interest?
20161	Meat?
20161	Men are not as well provided for, of course, but shall we blame freedom or the bad harvest?
20161	Milk?
20161	Moreover, gentlemen, is it not very likely, as Mr. Lestiboudois said, that we buy these Poitevin salted meats, not with our income, but our capital?
20161	Mr. Simiot puts this question: Ought the railroad from Paris into Spain to present a break or terminus at Bordeaux?
20161	Mr. de Saint Cricq has asked:"Are we sure that our foreign customers will buy from us as much as they sell us?"
20161	Naturally I should seek to solve this problem:"How shall I best procure the iron necessary for my business with the least possible amount of labor?"
20161	Now I ask, are the people under the action of these laws better fed because there is_ less_ bread,_ less_ meat, and_ less_ sugar in the country?
20161	Now what conclusion does Mr. Lestiboudois draw from the sums entered into the custom- house, in this operation?
20161	Now, what does this prove?
20161	Now, who is it that profits by the reduction of interest?
20161	Of these two processes, which is the more efficient aid to social progress?
20161	Of these two ways, which is the best?
20161	Of what avail is the freedom of purchasing, if you have not the means?
20161	Of what direct benefit to the people are your porcelains and tapestries, and your expositions?
20161	On what depends the_ demand_ for labor?
20161	On what does the rate of wages depend?
20161	Or do they prosper better in their labor because iron, copper, tools and machinery are scarce?
20161	Or of exchange without a relative value between the two articles, or the two services, exchanged?
20161	Or of society without exchange?
20161	Otherwise, why should he have made it?
20161	Perhaps you have never read the_ Moniteur Industriel_?
20161	Public opinion alone can overturn such a structure of iniquity; but where can it begin, if each stone is_ tabooed_?
20161	Reader, can you honestly say that you understand the reason of this?
20161	Said the Emperor to Kouang:"What do you think of this?"
20161	Shall I prohibit the importation of houses by land and by sea?"
20161	Shall it be done by closing the manufactories of tapestry and stopping the exhibitions?
20161	Some say to us: You are, then, partisans of the_ let alone_ policy?
20161	Tell me, is that probable?
20161	That accounts for one hogshead, but the five others?
20161	That the soil be fertile, and the sun beneficent: and what is the result?
20161	That which a man has produced, he may consume, exchange, or give; what can be more natural than that he should give it to his children?
20161	The exchange can not be effected in kind; so what does Paul do?
20161	The general prosperity has gained by this, doubtless, but have the shoemakers and tailors, individually, lost anything by it?
20161	Then what is left to your female subjects except tobacco?
20161	There are the landowners; what is their interest?
20161	There are the manufacturers; what is their constant thought?
20161	These have been closed by a pitiless philanthropy; and under what pretext?
20161	They can not negotiate; the transaction favorable to both can not take place, and then what happens?
20161	They talk to you a great deal upon the_ artificial_ organization of labor;--do you know why they do so?
20161	This is an important difficulty, and how is it put aside?
20161	To milk and steadily milk, a cow gives more milk; for who can tell the moment when not a drop more can be obtained?
20161	To use without recompense the hands of another, I call slavery; to use without recompense the plane of another, can this be called fraternity?
20161	To what purpose would be our great standing armies, and our powerful navies, if commerce were free?
20161	To which of these last two circumstances is the first to be attributed?
20161	Until when will we persist in shutting our eyes upon the following simple truth?
20161	Upon what principle of justice can it be devoted to the realization of_ your_ enterprise instead of_ mine_?"
20161	Very well, but are not these prices raised by the increase of the demand?
20161	Was he the richer for this course?
20161	Was it necessary to insinuate that we are the agents of England?
20161	Well, and in this respect is not the revolution of February a hard lesson?
20161	Well, and what matters that?
20161	Well, because you are workmen, are you not intelligent and moral?
20161	Well, do you see?
20161	Well, if I do you this service, what will you do for me in return?"
20161	Well, then, is slavery invulnerable?
20161	What better guarantee of its perpetuity than to make even doubt sacrilege?
20161	What can they make the earth produce, with the expectation of profit?
20161	What did I say?
20161	What difference, then, can we possibly discover to exist between the Bordalese petitioners and the Corypheus of restriction?
20161	What do these words mean?
20161	What do they do?
20161	What do they protect in France?
20161	What do you find?
20161	What do you mean?
20161	What do you really want?
20161	What do_ we_ maintain?
20161	What goes on there, and what is decided upon?
20161	What has become of the cultivation of indigo by the blacks?
20161	What has that to do with your butter?
20161	What have you to say?".
20161	What if I could get them to perform the odious act on the frontier which I was about to do myself?"
20161	What if I should make the interest of the law, of the magistrate, of the public authorities, my interests?
20161	What is capital, then?
20161	What is its rational and moral mission?
20161	What is law, or at least what ought it to be?
20161	What is our course under these circumstances?
20161	What is that?
20161	What is the destiny of women in France?
20161	What is the objection they adduce against free trade?
20161	What is the question?
20161	What is there astonishing in this?
20161	What is your second section?
20161	What is, in fact, the prohibitive system?
20161	What is_ interest_?
20161	What matters it?
20161	What more do you want?
20161	What more is effected by the miller who converts it into flour, or by the baker who makes it into bread?
20161	What must be done to accomplish this?
20161	What on the other side is the immediate interest of the consumer?
20161	What reason is there that I should make the plane, and you should gain the profit?
20161	What services will they give me in exchange for this ambrosia, which has cost me so much labor?
20161	What sophisms have been invoked?
20161	What tax, if you please, do I pay, which does not go to the Treasury?
20161	What then prevents you, if self- denial has so many charms, from exercising it as much as you desire in your private actions?
20161	What then shall we do?
20161	What was I thinking of?
20161	What will the people gain, if foreign competition, which may interfere with them in their sales, does not favor them in their purchases?"
20161	What will we do with these three hours?
20161	What will you do?
20161	What would become of labor itself?
20161	What would you have?
20161	What, for instance, can we expect from the beet?
20161	When did you sit at the Palais Bourbon?
20161	When the convents of Spain were reformed, they said to the beggars,"Where will you find broth and clothing?
20161	When will we have done with such puerile declamations?
20161	Whence came this idea of establishing the protective system?
20161	Where is your place in the Chamber of Peers?
20161	Where was the_ value_ of coal during the millions of years when it lay unknown and buried a hundred feet below the surface of the earth?
20161	Where will this land us?
20161	Which is the best for man or for society, abundance or scarcity?
20161	Which then, if either, should legislation favor as contributing most to the good of the community?
20161	While we point with pride to some prosperous manufacture, can we answer, from whence comes the capital with which it is founded and maintained?
20161	Who can not see the sophistry of this?
20161	Who can pretend that the nation is not more interested in securing the ten thousand francs, than the fifteen francs worth of labor?
20161	Who could harbor such a thought?
20161	Who has consulted you?
20161	Who knows that interest will not be abolished?
20161	Who knows what will happen to us?
20161	Who then would be the loser?
20161	Why are they allowed to establish themselves at your side when cloth is driven away?
20161	Why do I give myself up to that dry science, political economy?
20161	Why do you drive away the Belgians?
20161	Why explain what everybody knows?"
20161	Why is it that the breath of false doctrine has made it needful to examine into the intimate nature of interest?
20161	Why not?
20161	Why shall not the foreigner who is to consume this product, bear the charges its production necessitates?
20161	Why should nations impose upon themselves so troublesome a restraint?
20161	Why this difference?
20161	Why, what does this mean, but that there are no facts?
20161	Why?
20161	Why?
20161	Why?
20161	Why?
20161	Why?
20161	Will it, therefore, be a cause for surprise, if, when they awake, they find themselves mangled and bleeding?
20161	Will not every Free- Trader put a copy of the book into the hands of his Protectionist friends?
20161	Will you not read my defense?
20161	Wool?
20161	Would it be an advance in social order, if the law decided thus, and citizens should pay officials for causing such a law to be executed by force?
20161	Would you rob the workingman of his labor, his wages and his bread?"
20161	You admit that France will make this_ something else_, which is to be exchanged for cloth, with less labor than if it had made the cloth itself?
20161	You believe that it is a tax machine, like a duty or a toll at the end of a bridge?
20161	You desire, then, that it shall not be free?
20161	You desire, then, that trade shall be carried on under the influence of oppression?
20161	You do not desire the_ organization of labor_?
20161	You see, then, workmen, that there is not a more important question than this:"Is the interest of capital lawful or not?"
20161	Your false friends say to you: If there was no monopoly, who would furnish you work?
20161	_ Friday._ Is that certain?
20161	_ Friday._ What difference does that make, if we have the game?
20161	_ Humanity_ is concerned, and must not the warming of the people be secured?
20161	_ J._ What service?
20161	_ Jean._ Well, what is it?
20161	_ Jean._ What shall I gain by making you pay an extra price for my sausages, if you overcharge me for pastry and fagots?
20161	_ Paul._ Do you call it_ beating_ any one to furnish him things at a low price?
20161	_ Paul._ How do you find this Normandy butter?
20161	_ Pierre._ Do you not see that we are getting into a quarrel?
20161	_ Pierre._ Simpleton!--Suppose I prevent the bringing of any wood to Paris?
20161	_ Robinson._ Then what shall we make?
20161	_ Son._ How can that be, since he got rid of competition?
20161	_ Son._ How was that possible?
20161	_ Son._ When will this stop?
20161	and how can you have the means, if labor is wanting?
20161	and what do_ you_ maintain?
20161	as a charity?
20161	economists of the superannuated school of the Smiths and the Says?
20161	exclaimed the countryman, you wish me to take fifteen bundles of Brussels thread, when I can have twenty from Manchester?
20161	gratis?
20161	has a poor man ever obtained from a piece of money enjoyments as sweet and innocent as those which the mysterious urn of fortune contained for him?
20161	is D---- to cover his losses by taking my wine?
20161	no, nothing is more deceiving than theory;--your doctrine?
20161	or rather is it not drawn either from agriculture, or navigation, or other industry?
20161	or, again, Does it suit you to barter your Newcastle coal for this Champagne wine?
20161	said the physician;"do not you consider his two broken arms?
20161	say the two_ Sophists_; is it not better to expose ourselves to a possible_ invasion_, than to meet a certain one?
20161	that Socrates and Plato, Cato and Cincinnatus were despicable characters?
20161	we are not to be allowed to borrow, in order to work in the prime of life, nor to lend, that we may enjoy repose in its decline?
20161	who even would create them?
20161	who would take care of them?
20161	you diminish the receipts, without lessening expenses, and you avoid a deficit?
20161	your principle?
20161	your system?
20161	your theory?
