permit a foreign company to establish itself
in America. But this question has been
promptly settled. The legal consent of the
American authorities has been obtained. It
is entire and inevocable."
1882
And therefore simple minded people rush
forward, subscribe their money, and there is
nobody, no government, no official personage,
allowed to say that it is not true !
Now, then, when the*final crash comes, as
sooner or later it must, the ruined stock-
holders will, as I have said before, turn to
their government for relief, for it is the habit
of the country, in like cases, to do so. But is
it not evident to every fair-minded man that
no government, no official body, can indorse
in any shape or manner whatever an enter-
prise organized on such a basis of dishonesty
as this? Would it not be unfair to allow it
to go on with exposure, and by a continua-
tion of its trickery manage to borrow from
its government a cloak of respectability, to
which it is in no way entitled, and thus,
moreover, to cause the blame to fall where it
does not belong ?
