Title The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
Page 573
Chapter --
Text in his name by Philpot.

`Let's 'oot 'im,' said Harlow, and the suggestion was at once acted upon; howls, groans and catcalls filled the air, mingled with cries of `Fraud!' `Imposter!' `Give us our money back!' `Let's wreck the 'all!' and so on.

`Come on 'ere,' cried Philpot, putting his hand on Owen's shoulder. `Prove that money is the cause of poverty.'

`It's one thing to say it and another to prove it,' sneered Crass, who was anxious for an opportunity to produce the long-deferred Obscurer cutting.
