which they gave absolutely nothing and for which they took no part in the actual production thereof.
 And on top of that, to make matters worse, by their various crooked credit methods they made the people of America sign up to interest bearing indebtedness for future payment for more than another three hundred billion dol­lars of in­debt­edness for which these financiers gave absolutely no return in tangible wealth.
 Now it is estimated that at the present time the people of the United States must pay alto­gether an aggregate of more than twenty bil­lion dollars annually to try and meet the inter­est on this three hundred billion dollars of in­terest bearing indebtedness.
 Of course the American people cannot pay twenty billions of dollars annually as there is not that much money in America and nev­er was that much money in America, so their interest bill is several times more than the actual amount of money in circulation in this country.
 Of course the financiers, through their var­ious avenues of publicity, misrepresent this whole infernal scheme of stealing the people’s property and even go so far as to pretend that there is sixty billions of dollars on deposit in the American banks which of course is only done to fool the people into thinking that there is more money in Amer­ica than there is.
 Previous to the revaluation of the gold fraud in which they, by the stroke of the pen, called one dollar in gold two dollars in gold and therefore reduced the dollar bill to one-half of its pur­chasing power, there was never ten billion dollars in money in this country, and since the re­val­u­a­tion of gold there has never been as much as fif­teen billion dollars in money, including the gold, in this country. So of course by no twist of misrepresentation can fifteen billions of dollars be stretched to sixty bil­lions of dol­lars which they claim there is on deposit in America. That is, of course, but another one of their tricks to fool the American people and gyp them out of their earnings.
 Another trick is to pretend that the interest bearing indebtedness of this country is only forty-five billion dollars—yes, only forty-five billion dollars. That amount is only the Federal indebtedness. They do not men­tion anything about the different states’ in­debt­ed­ness, the different counties’ indebtedness, the dif­fer­ent municipalities’ indebtedness, nor the enor­mous private indebtedness that the people must pay in­terest on to the financiers which altogether totals more than three hundred bil­lions of dollars and more than ten times as much as the Federal indebtedness of forty-five billions of dol­lars which they tell you about generally. They do not say much of anything about the interest bearing indebtedness on railroads, air­lines, boat lines, trolley lines, buildings, mines and all sorts of real estate transactions, all of which runs up to more than three hundred billion dollars of interest bear­ing indebted-
