the people out of four-fifths of everything they earn they know that the people will then have five-fifths of everything they earn instead of one-fifth of everything they earn and that would leave nothing for the financiers because they do not earn anything.
 All the financiers do is to gyp the people out of what they earn, and the sooner the people learn their tricks, the better it will be for them.
 Another reason the financiers don’t like Lawson is because he is teaching the people that everybody should have a purchasing power equal to their productive power that will give Justice to Everybody and harm No­body.
 Do you think that you are getting what belongs to you, Mr. Manufacturer? You had better study this question.
 During the past seven years the financiers have stolen from American manufacturers two hundred thousand factories. How did they do it? Simple trick. The financiers loan­ed the manufacturers one-tenth of the value of their factories, then withdrew their mon­ey from circulation and when the manufacturers could not pay their loans the finan­ciers foreclosed on them and got nine-tenths of the value of the factories for nothing.

 They make the working man fight the manufacturer, and they make the manufacturer fight the working man. They make working men fight working men. So while you are all fighting each other they take what you have.
 If you have one religion and some one else has another religion, they urge you to punch each other’s noses about it.
 If you belong to a different political party from someone else, they egg the both of you to hate and abuse each other.
 They want you to Keep quarreling and fighting with each other all the time, and as long as you’re fools enough to do it, they are
