...judicious publicity and generous purchases in the stock market? Or is it the glimmering of a clear dawn as yet perceptible only to those located on high places? We shall all doubtless know the answer to this perplexing question some six or eight months from now, when the correct answer will have no prac tical value except to the moralist and the historian. On the other hand, there are those who feel we may be able to answer the question much sooner than that.

...outset that he is an optimist, a sincere disbeliever in the theory that the evil men do lives after them. He introduces the tricksters and rogues who play a part in the narrative of the countrys progress only when a knowledge of them is essential to a correct historical perspective. His hope is to show that the national difficulties of today and to-morrow are no more intricate and insoluble than those of yesterday, and that time will solve them as it has in the past...
