= Uniform bound from pointwise absolute summability of dual evaluations

Let $(x_n)$ lie in a normed space $X$ and suppose $\sum_n|f(x_n)|<\infty$ for every $f\in X^*$. Then some $C$ satisfies
$$
\sum_n|f(x_n)|\leq C\lVert f\rVert
\qquad(f\in X^*).
$$
Apply the uniform boundedness principle on the Banach space $X^*$ to the finite signed sums $f\mapsto\sum_na_nf(x_n)$ with $|a_n|\leq1$.
