earnings.
 The touts of the financiers also get the workingman to fight the police. The police merely do their duty of keeping law and order for the people. They are the people’s protectors.
 If a robber enters a workingman’s home he surely wants the police to stop him from stealing his property. But the workingman often wants to fight the police because the old financial villain has turned out his light of reason and he fights in the dark mentally.
 There is a reason why the financier wants the people to fight the police and that is to discredit them so that when they want to get rid of them and put boys with bayonets in their places the people will cheer them for doing it.
 A policeman with a family to support needs at least two hundred dollars a month to do it with, but unmarried boys with bayonets can be had for about thirty dollars a month and food and lodging. The difference in their pay goes into the pockets of the financiers.
 The touts of the financiers get the people to fight the politicians and they have a reason for that also. They want the people to hate the politicians so that when they say “let’s throw them out and put a dictator in” the people will cheer them for doing it.
 The touts blame the politicians for the many taxes that are charged against the people but never say that most of those taxes go into the vaults of the financiers for the payment of back interest charged on their loans. Clever, eh?
 In every way the financial villain turns out the people’s light of reason so that they cannot understand what they are fighting about. They fight their friends in mental darkness while the villain robs them of their rightful earnings.
 Why do the touts of the financiers want workingmen to fight the manufacturers who give them jobs? It is because they want to ruin the manufacturers, so they can get control of their factories.
 By controlling all factories as well as the money system the financiers will then be in a position to freeze the merchants out and raise the price of all of the people’s necessities. Then without competing manufacturers and merchants they can squeeze the farmers out of everything through high prices for farm machinery and low prices for their farm products.
 It is not the number of dollars that a man is paid for his day’s work that counts; it is the purchasing power of his wages that decides his earning capacity.
 Why brag about receiving ten dollars a day in wages if it will buy only two dollars worth of goods? Owing to the different deductions caused by the many interest collections on everything that is produced that is about all of the goods that ten dollars will buy nowadays.
 Yes, the manufacturer gives a man employment so that he can earn money to buy a home and then the financier, who gives nothing to anybody, takes the home away
