Its practical results were very dramatically shown in the dollar market--within fifteen minutes after it had reached the tickers the pound premium had gone from six to thirteen cents. And this added a touch of bitterness to the complaints of those who felt that Dr. Sprague should have spoken of his late employers with more becoming reverence, that in a time when all the future of the administration depended upon popular confidence...

To propitiate his own Christian beliefs and the public which still embraced them, more than three-fourths of Rockefeller's gifts of $750,000,000 "have been distributed since 1911, the year the public became mathematically conscious of his vast wealth." More than any other's, his money is responsible for Prohibition. To needy institutions went most of these millions. To needy individuals (20,000) went shiny dimes. Once...
