The manufacturer did not take the homes away from the working people—it was the financiers.
 The manufacturer gives to the working man a job so that he may earn a living and buy a home. The financier takes that home away from him after he has bought it with the money that he received from the manufacturer in wages. Still the working man blames the manufacturer who gives him a job and says nothing against the financier who gives him nothing but who steals his home. Isn’t that a foolish proceeding?
 The reason the working man does such foolish acts is because he is urged to do them by the touts of the financiers who want to gain possession of the factory owned by the manufacturer who employs the working man.
 The touts of the financiers, through slippery methods, gain control of the working man’s organizations and through strikes by working men they ruin the manufacturer’s business.
 Then, after the working men have ruined the manufacturer’s business the financiers foreclose on the manufacturer for the money he borrowed to pay the men their wages and thereby gets control of a plant worth a Mil­lion Dollars for about a Hundred Thou­sand Dollars that he loaned to the manufacturer. So by such degraded treachery the financier swindles the manufacturer out of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars worth of his property.
 Thus the laboring man loses his job and the manufacturer loses his factory. In a somewhat similar swindle, the merchant loses his store and the farmer loses his farm and the professional man loses his business. All of this happens because none of them understand how the financiers are constantly defrauding everybody out of four-fifths of everything they earn by making everybody pay tribute for the loan of money which does not belong to them.
 It is the object of the financiers to get control of all manufacturing plants, all publishing establishments, all retail stores, all transportation corporations, all farms and all real estate concerns, which added to their money control, will make them the virtual owners of everything in America and the absolute dictators of the American people. They can then raise the prices of commodities and lower the scale of wages without opposition.
 Such a condition is now being faced by the American people and they have reached the brink of treachery by the touts whom they have put faith in as their leaders and heroes.
 The damtout, of course, does the dirty work for the financiers because they throw him a bone to gnaw upon as they would toss one to a dog.
 The financiers despise their own touts; they say, “If those damtouts will sell out their own friends for a bone to gnaw upon, they will sell us out if our competitors throw them a larger bone to gnaw upon.”
 Yes, the damtouts will sell out their own
