as we participate IN no vulgar and groundess
prejudice against brokers. They hold the same
position between borrowers and lenders or buyers
and sellers Of money and eviences OF debt, with
merchants between producers and consumers.-
Like merchants they are distributors. But we
do complain Of the system which reduces millions

Such a system is awful The statistics of Der.

$50 900, show about 10000 paupers and crmi.

And whence this enormous poverty It's pro.
duced by bad government, producing standing ar.
mics, royal luxury, governmental loans, paper
money, stock markets, monopoes Of land and
money, landed barons, and rngbarons.
And how many paupers and criminals are
found in the British Isles! The question can be
answered by its boated barons. landed and ragged.
And we are rapidly building up the system. One
individual in the East can own five millions Of
acres in the West, and thereby compel 3l,25O
men to remain landIess paupers, instead Of be-
coming independent farmers. And bank can

where it has ended in England and Germany
And where will that end! Just where it ended
in France in 1883! Like causes, operating upon
like subjects, always produce like effects. SO
God has decreed and so man cannot repeal.
These Rothschlds, while accommodating $50 mil

not added cent te the wealth Of the world. They
have not raised potato, or manufactured but
