Her policy was quite sane and simple, as she explained it to him: what she put into earthly futures was for speculation, what she put into spiritual futures was for investment; she was willing to go into the one on a margin, and take chances, but in the case of the other, "margin her no margins" she wanted to cash in a hundred cents per dollar's worth, and have the stock transferred on the books.
Seen through the intervening gauze, the cheapest cotton velvet is equal to the richest silk; glazed calico takes the place of satin; and even the royal ermine may be admirably simulated by tails of black worsted stitched on a ground of flannel. Lace may be manufactured from cut paper, and a dollar's worth of tinsel will afford jewels for a congress of sovereigns.
For every dollar's worth of crops that a farmer grows, it is estimated that his insect enemies eat another dollar's worth. A little bug called the "San José" scale has nearly ruined the orchards of some of the Eastern states. To fight him, we must know how he lives. That is nature study. By study we learn that the hop-toad is our best garden friend.
"It's a sure thing that if those roads are made, it will put another thirty or forty cents on to every dollar's worth of land we're holding." "Exactly," replied Nasmyth, whose tense face did not relax.
They told me it was the first time they had come on this line, and they deeply regretted it, for they had lost 5000 dollar's worth of beads by their porters running away with their loads, and now they did not know how to proceed.
If you're in commerce in this country, you must know how to put down fifty cents and take up a dollar's worth. Anyhow, I'm here to meet an American whose acquaintance I made farther West. He's a traveler in paints and varnishes, and a very enterprising person, as well as an unusually good sort. But I've told you enough about myself; I want your news."
"Comfort, your mother wouldn't let you buy another ring with that gold dollar, would she?" "That gold dollar's to keep," sobbed Comfort; "it ain't to spend." And, indeed, she felt as if spending that gold dollar would be almost as bad as losing the ring; the bare idea of it horrified her. "Well, I didn't s'pose it was," said Matilda, abashedly. "I just happened to think of it."
A girl may make over an old hat with a bit of ribbon or a flower, or make a new dress from a dollar's worth of material, but for an ill-fitting, clumsy pair of shoes she must pay at least $2; and no sooner has she bought them than she must begin to skimp because in a month or six weeks she will need another pair.
I came through here, one time, so danged weak I could hardly crawl and you refused to even give me a meal; and now, when I've got a mine that's worth millions, you've still got your hand out for the money." "Well, now don't get excited," spoke up Bunker pacifically, "you can have what grub you want. But I'm telling you the truth those people down below won't give me another dollar's worth on tick.
We have insisted that decreases in very desirable but less urgent programs be made before we would approve any increases. So I ask the Congress tonight: to hold its appropriations to the budget requests, and to act responsibly early this year by enacting the tax surcharge which for the average American individual amounts to about a penny out of each dollar's income.
