one
after one
The stranger who came to their city succeeded as he helped them in their purposes , and failed if they could not use him . A great editor or bishop was a man who taught their doctrines ; a great statesman was a man who made the laws for them ; a great lawyer was one who helped them to outwit the public . Any man who dared to oppose them , they would cast out and trample on , they would slander and ridicule and ruin . And Oliver came down to particulars -- he named these powerful men , one after one , and showed what they could do . If his brother would only be a man of the world , and see the thing ! Look at all the successful lawyers ! Oliver named them , one after one -- shrewd devisers of corporation trickery , with incomes of hundreds of thousands a year .
