In regard to the second opening of the works, after the strikers had shot the sheriff's officers, it is also easy to look back and say, "How much better had the works been closed until the old men voted to return"; but the Governor of Pennsylvania, with eight thousand troops, had meanwhile taken charge of the situation.
I was traveling in the Highlands of Scotland when the trouble arose, and did not hear of it until two days after.

Nothing I have ever had to meet in all my life, before or since, wounded me so deeply.

No pangs remain of any wound received in my business career save that of Homestead.

It was so unnecessary.

The men were outrageously wrong.
