When you say a woman doesn't invent anything, I ask, Who invented the Jacquard loom that wove every stitch you wear? Mrs. Jacquard. The printer's roller, the printing press, were invented by farmers' wives. Who invented the cotton gin of the South that enriched our country so amazingly? WHEN YOU SAY A WOMAN DOESN'T INVENT ANYTHING I ASK WHO INVENTED THE JAIKARD LOOM THAT WOVE EVERY STITCH YOU WEAR MISSUS JAIKARD THE PRINTER'S ROLLER THE PRINTING PRESS WERE INVENTED BY FARMERS WIVES WHO INVENTED THE COTTON GIN OF THE SOUTH THAT ENRICHED OUR COUNTRY SO AMAZINGLY
her private steamship--yes, and takes her husband with her! If her husband were to die, she would have money enough left now to buy a foreign duke or count or some such title as that at the latest quotations. Now what is my lesson in that incident? It is this: I told her then, though I did not know her, what I now say to you, “Your wealth is too near to you. You are looking right over it”; and she had to look over it because it was right under her chin. I have read in the newspaper that a woman never invented anything. Well, that newspaper ought to begin again. Of course, I do not refer to gossip--I refer to machines--and if I did I might better include the men. That newspaper could never appear if women had not invented something. Friends, think. Ye women, think! You say you cannot make a fortune because you are in some laundry, or running a sewing-machine, it may be, or walking before some loom, and yet you can be a millionaire if you will but follow this almost infallible direction. HAT WOMAN GOES OVER THE SEA EVERY SUMMER IN HER PRIVATE STEAMSHIP YES AND TAKES HER HUSBAND WITH HER IF HER HUSBAND WERE TO DIE SHE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY LEFT NOW TO BUY A FOREIGN DUKE OR COUNT OR SOME OTHER SUCH TITLE THAT IS AT THE LATEST QUOTATIONS NOW WHAT SORT OF LESSON IN THAT INCIDENT IT IS THIS I TOLD HER THEN THOUGH I DID NOT KNOW HER WHAT I NOW SAY TO YOU YOUR WEALTH IS SO NEAR YOU YOU ARE LOOKING RIGHT OVER IT AND SHE HAD TO LOOK OVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS RIGHT UNDER HER CHIN I HAVE READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT A WOMAN NEVER INVENTED ANYTHING WELL THAT NEWSPAPER OUGHT TO BEGIN AGAIN OF COURSE I DO NOT REFER TO GOSSIP I REFER TO MACHINES AND IF I MIGHT BETTER INCLUDE THE MEN THAT NEWSPAPER COULD NEVER APPEAR IF A WOMAN HAD NOT INVENTED SOMETHING FRIENDS THINK YE WOMEN THINK YOU CANNOT MAKE A FORTUNE BECAUSE YOU ARE IN SOME LAUNDRY OR RUNNING A SEWING MACHINE IT MAY BE OR WALKING BEFORE SOME LOOM AND YET YOU CAN BE A MILLIONAIRE IF YOU JUST FOLLOW THIS ALMOST INFALLIBLE DIRECTION
