And this is not a little remarkable when we bear in mind that in Great Britain, of which I speak, while there is a vast supply of cheap works, what are termed "new publications" issue from the press, for the most part, at prices fabulously high, so that the class of real purchasers has been extirpated, leaving behind as buyers only a few individuals who might almost be counted on the fingers, while the effective circulation depends upon middle-men through the engine of circulating libraries.
The speakers were acceptable because they were liberal, and he was the great liberalizer. They were, and they are, the middle-men between him and the public. They watered the nectar, and made it easy to drink. The Easy Chair heard from time to time of Proteus on the platform how he was more and more eccentric how he could not be understood how abrupt his manner was.
The middle-men either the fathers or others are entitled to assist at the first-night business, and to report to the relations and friends whether the marriage is to turn out a happy one or not. They generally act their part behind a screen placed for the purpose in the nuptial-chamber.
'It was not, answered Mr Babylon frankly, 'and the reason was that the middle-men between the proposed company and myself wished to make a large secret profit, and I declined to be a party to such a profit. They were firm; I was firm; and so the affair came to nothing. 'The agreed price was satisfactory? 'Quite. 'May I ask what the price was? 'Are you a buyer, Mr Racksole?
He was a workman and a fine sort of Man, and if he'd been alive now he'd have been a Socialist, 'as most of us are, and he'd have made it hot for the rich loafers, and the sweaters, and the middle-men, 'as we'd like to make it hot for 'em. But as for those people who got up the Church-Mythologists Tom Paine called 'em-and the miracles, and made an uncommonly good thing out of it, pecuniarily speaking, he didn't see what they'd got to do with keeping, or mending, or preserving their precious bit of work.
They say to me, "God will punish you forever, if you do these things." Very well. I will settle with Him. I had rather settle with Him than any one of His agents. I do not like them very well. In theology I am a granger I do not believe in middle-men, what little business I have with heaven I will attend to thyself.
The lac trade in the Jaintia Hills and in the southern portion of the Khyrim State is a valuable one. The profits, however, go largely to middle-men, who in the Jaintia Hills are Syntengs from Jowai, who give out advances to the Bhoi cultivators on the condition that they will be repaid in lac.
By diminishing the need for middle-men the quality of the beer, tea, etc., would be raised, and adulteration diminished. Thirdly, The fall in the price of tea and beer would bring down the price of all competing drinks: it would at first diminish the consumption of competing drinks.
Blankets and in several instances mattresses were brought with them by some of the more provident of these nocturnal wayfarers, many of whom of course were notoriously middle-men who simply speculated, with immense profit to themselves, in selling again at enormously advanced prices the tickets which were invariably dispensed by the business manager at the fixed charges originally announced.
The Taku Indians, like the Chilcats, with a keen appreciation of the advantages of their position for trade, hold possession of the river and compel the Indians of the interior to accept their services as middle-men, instead of allowing them to trade directly with the whites. When we were baffled in our attempt to ascend the river, the day was nearly done, and we began to seek a camp-ground.
