A nervous, excitable man ought to be very slow to undertake either the engine or the stock exchange.
A clever man of twenty five years of age bought ten shares in the Pennsylvania Central Railroad.
The stock went up five dollars per share, and he made fifty dollars by the operation.
His mother, knowing his temperament, said to him I wish you had lost it.
But encouraged he entered another operation, and took ten shares in another railroad, and made him two hundred dollars.
By this time he was ready for the wildest scheme.
He lost in three years forty thousand dollars, ruined his health, and broke his wife's heart.
His father supports them chiefly now.
The unfortunate has a shingle up in a small court among low operators.
Such a man as this is unfit for this commercial sphere.
He would have been unfit for a pilot, unfit for a military command, unfit for any place that demands steady nerve, cool brain, and well balanced temperament.
But while there is a legitimate sphere for the broker and operator, there are transactions every day undertaken in our cities that can only be characterized as superb outrage and villainy.
And there are members of Christian churches who have been guilty of speculations that in the last day will blanch their cheek.
and thunder them down to everlasting companionship with the lowest gamblers that ever pitched pennies for a drink.
It is not necessary that I should draw the difficult line between honourable and dishonourable speculation.
God has drawn it through every man's conscience, and
The broker guilty of cornering as well knows that he is sinning against God and man as though the flame of Mount Sinai singed his eyebrows.
He hears that a brother broker has sold short, and immediately goes about with a wise look saying Erie is going down.
Erie is going down, prepare for it.
Immediately the people begin to sell.
