The peroration marks the final opportunity for the arguer to move his audience.
Next to the ability to analyze, the most important qualification for an arguer to possess is the faculty of clearly presenting his case.
If an arguer can find some common ground on which to meet his audience, some emotion by which they may be moved, he can usually obtain a personal hold that will overcome hostility and lack of interest.
Few things will assist an arguer more in securing a respectful hearing from those who do not agree with him, but whom he would convince, than the quality of fairness.
In the next place, the arguer must consider the attitude of those whom he would move.
All this is frequently difficult, but unless an arguer can gain the good will of the people addressed, arouse their interest, and render them willing to be convinced, no amount of reasoning is likely to produce much effect.
First of all, it is the duty of the arguer to see that the meaning of the proposition is perfectly clear both to himself and to all the people whom he wishes to reach.
The arguer who can decisively settle the question of dollars and cents always has a strong argument.
To be sure, this question overlaps and embraces several other questions that have been suggested, but a comprehensive issue like this is sometimes preferable from the standpoint both of the arguer and of the audience.
If an arguer is so careless as to make statements contradictory either to well- established facts or to facts easily proved, he cannot hope to attain the slightest measure of success.
So it is in general debate: the arguer who wishes to succeed must not use evidence that is self-contradictory.
An arguer is said to ignore the question, or to argue beside the point, whenever he attempts to prove or disprove anything except the proposition under discussion.
In the conclusion the arguer should use his greatest skill, his strongest eloquence.
If thou find an arguer talking, thy fellow, one that is within thy reach, keep not silence when he saith aught that is evil; so shalt thou be wiser than he.
If thou find an arguer talking, a poor man, that is to say not thine equal, be not scornful toward him because he is lowly.
The inquirer or arguer must be guided by his own knowledge and sagacity in the choice of the inductions out of which he will construct his argument.
