Now, merchants, manufacturers, farmers and workingmen, you can have the great benefits of Direct Credits whenever you want them. All you have to do is to get together in the Direct Credits Society in large enough numbers -to enforce your demands.
The financier intends to eliminate the merchant altogether, take over all stores, and have them run by his own clerks. That would give him the supreme power over Trade.
By getting complete control of Trade he will then be the sole buyer of products and can easily force all manufacturers, that he does not control, out of business by making no purchases from them.
By controlling all manufacturing plants and all stores, he can easily bring Labor everywhere to the same status of wages and purchasing power as is enjoyed by the Chinese coolie. That is his ultimate object, and you merchants having lost your stores, will have to enter the ranks of laborers and
Merchants, the laboring people are anxious to help you stay in business if you will but help yourselves. You cannot go on much longer if you continue to take the advice of the financier’s tout who betrays you.
Most of your trade comes from laboring people and with them you belong.
