Wall Street
(gcide) | Wall Street \Wall Street\
A street towards the southern end of the borough of
Manhattan, New York City, extending from Broadway to the East
River; -- so called from the old wall which extended along it
when the city belonged to the Dutch. It is the chief
financial center of the United States, hence the name is
often used for the money market and the financial interests
of the country; -- in American financial publications, also
referred to as the street.
[Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC] |

Street}, Wall St.]

(devil) | WALL STREET, n. A symbol for sin for every devil to rebuke. That
Wall Street is a den of thieves is a belief that serves every
unsuccessful thief in place of a hope in Heaven. Even the great and
good Andrew Carnegie has made his profession of faith in the matter.
Carnegie the dauntless has uttered his call
To battle: "The brokers are parasites all!"
Carnegie, Carnegie, you'll never prevail;
Keep the wind of your slogan to belly your sail,
Go back to your isle of perpetual brume,
Silence your pibroch, doff tartan and plume:
Ben Lomond is calling his son from the fray --
Fly, fly from the region of Wall Street away!
While still you're possessed of a single baubee
(I wish it were pledged to endowment of me)
'Twere wise to retreat from the wars of finance
Lest its value decline ere your credit advance.
For a man 'twixt a king of finance and the sea,
Carnegie, Carnegie, your tongue is too free!
