My mother died when I was a boy, and I, Walter Cuthbert, was left the sole representative of my immediate family. My estate had been a comfortable one to my father, because his income from the practice of his profession as a physician enabled him to keep it up and provide satisfactorily for himself and me.
You have kindly said you intended dividing your income with me, giving me half. At first I was indignant at the idea, but now I think I see that it will be in every way the best. One of my cousins has been occupying a very elegantly-appointed suite of rooms on Twenty-fourth street. Harry writes me he is going very suddenly to Europe.
The grandfather was now an old and feeble man, but gathering himself together as best he could, he began to trade; in pictures first and then in curious ancient things, and from the Old Curiosity Shop, as it was called, he was able to obtain a slender income.
She had an independent income from safe investments of about a hundred dollars a year; her children were growing in years and grace; and she was a pleased and happy woman. Happy in her husband, happy in her children, and the husband and the children were happy in her. It is at this point that this history begins.
The cares that wear out life and health in many households are of a nature that cannot be cast on God, or met by any promise from the Bible: it is not care for 'food convenient, or for comfortable raiment, but care to keep up false appearances, and to stretch a narrow income over the space that can be covered only by a wider one. Croesus, who has ten times her income?"
A high, keen spirit was his wife; she did not bend or break; a stroke that would have beggared another took no crumb from her cloth; she let the right in warehouses and wharves lie by, and lie by, and each year it paid her sterling income.
The great mob of semi-spies do not derive their whole income from Germany, nor are they, I believe, all actually paid at regular intervals. The struggling German shopkeeper in England was helped, and I have no doubt is still helped, by occasional sums received for business development sums nominally in the nature of donations or loans from other Germans.
He was proud of his virtuous life; free from foolishness or petty love affairs, wholly devoted to sports and show. His income was less than his expenses. The numerous personnel of his stable-garage, his horses, gasoline and tailors' bills ate up even a part of the principal. But López de Sosa was undisturbed in this ruinous course, for he was conscious of the danger, in spite of his extravagance.
"By the labor of my brain and hands," gravely and confidently replied Rule. "Worse rubbish than the other! How much a year does the labor of your brain and hands bring you in? not enough to keep yourself in comfort! And you would bring my granddaughter down to divide that insufficient income with you" "My income would provide us both with modest comforts," replied Rule.
Wages and profits and family income are also at their highest levels in history but I would remind you that 4 million workers and 13 percent of our industrial capacity are still idle today. We need a tax cut now to keep this country moving. For our goal is not merely to spread the work. Our goal is to create more jobs.
