It was maddening for them to think of the daily robbery that they suffered, for the Midas turned out many ounces of gold at every shift; and more maddening to realize the receiver's shrewdness in crippling them by his theft of the gold in their safe. That had been his crowning stroke. "We MUST get money quick," said Glenister. "Do you think we can borrow?" "Borrow?" sniffed Dextry.
Why, as soon as this news gets on the floor there, the price will bust right down, and down, and down. Porteous and his crowd couldn't keep it up to save 'em from the receiver's hand one single minute." "I know, Sam," answered Jadwin, "and the trouble is, not that I don't want to speculate, but that I do too much. That's why I said I'd keep out of it.
The bank paid 50 per cent. in sixty days. It has paid ninety-six per cent. in ten years. The question is, how could a receiver say a bank, that was in position to pay 50 per cent. in sixty days, would only pay that much in all? The receiver's relatives made 46 per cent. on their speculation. This is one of the performances characteristic of this kind of "friends of the people."

In it will be merged the frontier guard of about 70 men depending on the general receiver's office, and probably also the small municipal police squads that compel the observance of municipal ordinances. The Dominican navy is now composed of a single gunboat, the "Independencia." At the end of Heureaux's rule the country boasted three.
Some one cried: "Let's go in and drag him out," and the rumble at this was not pleasant. Morehouse raised his hand. "Gentlemen, Mr. McNamara says he doesn't intend to take any of the gold away." "Then he's taken it already." "No, he hasn't." The receiver's course had been quickly chosen at the interruption. It was not wise to anger these men too much.
On his departure, he paid the hosts in a princely manner; but scarcely was he out of sight, when the gold in the receiver's hand was changed to straw, or to round slices of gilded horn, a shabby trick indeed, as he could have as much money as he liked.
