your Congress has turned your money system over to a bunch of international swindlers. and instead of letting you have the money as a trade convenience so that everybody will get five-fifths of everything they produce these international swindlers charge the people a tribute for letting them use it in the shape of loans.
 Now, because you Americans have allowed this bunch of international swindlers to get control of your money system, they have twisted it into an unrecognizable conglomeration of crooked credit manipulations and can now extract four-fifths of your earnings and leave you but one-fifth of your earnings.
 The Direct Credits Society says that is not right and we are willing to show you how to get five-fifths of what you earn. We say that everybody must have a purchasing power equal to their productive power, and that means everybody.
 Today, in the U.S.A., the people pay twenty billion dollars in interest annually to financiers, the most of which is soaked up by the alien swindlers who intend to make of the American People a slave nation just as quickly as a dictator can whip the people into submission.
 These Aliens charge the American people twenty billion dollars a year in interest tribute.
 There is not that much money in America altogether. So they charge you more interest annually than there is actual money.
 Gold cannot be classed as money because the people never have any of it to use as a trade convenience.
 Gold is simply used as a bait by the finan­ciers to fleece the American people out of four-fifths of their earnings.
 Counting all the paper money, silver money, nickel money and copper money there is less than nine billion dollars of usable money in the United States of America today. Moreover that nine billion dollars is not all in the pockets of the people. More than half of it is in the vaults of the finan­ciers, so there is only about four billions of money that the people of the United States are actually using.
 That is a nice state of affairs, when there is only four billion dollars in the pockets of the American people and still they are forced to pay twenty billion dollars in interest tribute. Can’t you understand how they take away four-fifths of your earning power? That is the way they do it.
 The financiers collect twenty billion dollars annually from the American people. You can’t pay it all, so they add what you cannot pay to the principal. They have run that principal of interest-bearing indebtedness up to three hundred billion dollars.
 When I was a boy, the interest-bearing indebtedness of the United States of America was about a billion dollars. So while the Amer­i­can people took their dope they multiplied it by three hundred since and you now owe the financiers three hundred billion dollars. They keep adding the interest that you can’t pay to the principal and they keep building it up to never ending magnitude.
