"
I
assure
you
I
had
nothing
to
do
with
it
,
"
Taggart
said
hastily
,
"
and
besides
,
the
vital
economic
policies
of
this
country
are
not
determined
by
any
considerations
such
as
you
’
re
intimating
or
—
"
"
I
know
how
they
’
re
determined
,
James
.
I
know
that
the
deal
started
with
the
boys
in
Santiago
,
because
they
’
ve
been
on
the
d
’
Anconia
pay
roll
for
centuries
—
well
,
no
,
‘
pay
roll
’
is
an
honorable
word
,
it
would
be
more
exact
to
say
that
d
’
Anconia
Copper
has
been
paying
them
protection
money
for
centuries
—
isn
’
t
that
what
your
gangsters
call
it
?
Our
boys
in
Santiago
call
it
taxes
.
They
’
ve
been
getting
their
cut
on
every
ton
of
d
’
Anconia
copper
sold
.
So
they
have
a
vested
interest
to
see
me
sell
as
many
tons
as
possible
.
But
with
the
world
turning
into
People
’
s
States
,
this
is
the
only
country
left
where
men
are
not
yet
reduced
to
digging
for
roots
in
forests
for
their
sustenance
—
so
this
is
the
only
market
left
on
earth
.
The
boys
in
Santiago
wanted
to
corner
this
market
.
I
don
’
t
know
what
they
offered
to
the
boys
in
Washington
,
or
who
traded
what
and
to
whom
—
but
I
know
that
you
came
in
on
it
somewhere
,
because
you
do
hold
a
sizable
chunk
of
d
’
Anconia
Copper
stock
.
And
it
surely
didn
’
t
displease
you
—
that
morning
,
four
months
ago
,
the
day
after
the
directives
were
issued
—
to
see
the
kind
of
soaring
leap
that
d
’
Anconia
Copper
performed
on
the
Stock
Exchange
.
Why
,
it
practically
leaped
off
the
ticker
tape
and
into
your
face
.
"
"
Who
gave
you
any
grounds
to
invent
an
outrageous
story
of
this
kind
?
"
"
Nobody
.
I
knew
nothing
about
it
.
I
just
saw
the
leap
on
the
ticker
tape
that
morning
.
That
told
the
whole
story
,
didn
’
t
it
?
Besides
,
the
boys
in
Santiago
slapped
a
new
tax
on
copper
the
following
week
—
and
they
told
me
that
I
shouldn
’
t
mind
it
,
not
with
that
sudden
rise
of
my
stock
.
They
were
working
for
my
best
interests
,
they
said
.
They
said
,
why
should
I
care
—
taking
the
two
events
together
,
I
was
richer
than
I
had
been
before
.
True
enough
.
I
was
.
"
"
Why
do
you
wish
to
tell
me
this
?
"
"
Why
don
’
t
you
wish
to
take
any
credit
for
it
,
James
?
That
’
s
out
of
character
and
out
of
the
policy
at
which
you
’
re
such
an
expert
.
In
an
age
when
men
exist
,
not
by
right
,
but
by
favor
,
one
does
not
reject
a
grateful
person
,
one
tries
to
trap
into
gratitude
as
many
people
as
possible
.
Don
’
t
you
want
to
have
me
as
one
of
your
men
under
obligation
?
"
"
I
don
’
t
know
what
you
’
re
talking
about
.
