tort gold from the people the French
people have not enough surplus Of untold
millions Of fertile acres to be bought or
plundered for song. The Intervention of
the .reasury Office in the transmission Of
funds is used to assist in balancing the In
ternal exchanges Of the country, but the
business Of this Office is not confined merely
to receiving money into the Treasury at one
office and paying it out at an another, but
whom large transfers of funds become neces
sary the proper officer of the Treasury be-
comes the receiver Of individual paper to a
large amount.
:" The Receiver general Of the eighty-six
departments and their subordinates, the
receivers of the Treasures of the arrondis-
ments and communes maintain reciprocal
business relations by frequent exchanges OF
money, by drafts rpon each other, and by
bills upon Paris and other places. The
chief officers Of the Treasury have by the
constant report Of this business to them,
intimate acquaintance with the whole indus
trial and commercial movement Of the pOpu-
lation. They regard it as extremely i'm
pOrtant to these interests, that the money
which is necessarily (under this kingly sys-
tenn withdl avn from private uses for pub
lie purposes, should be retained in the
treasury as short time as possible. Out
Of 800, 0O0,0 or 400, 000,0 900 Of francs
annually RENTED from the country treAsur-
les to Paris, not more than ten per cent, or
80, 100000 or 100000 900 of francs are
ever at one time in the public Treasures. "
Now why is it, that our government has
adopted no srmiliar system, or any system
which is calculated to extend the treasury
benefits beyond the official ard capitalists
well planned system of plundering the
people We answer We e..a Nenced
our government under tne auspices Of the
Bank Of North America, and continued it
under the Bank Of the United States until,
under the British Bank Financiers instruc-
til a corp of fnanciers has been formed
with foreign aid, large enough to control the
government. From the want Of attention
on the part Of government and people, and
our immense natural resources they have by
this financial system acquired enough to en-
able them to own and control both govern
ment and people. Hence it is possible that
no system as equitable as that Of England
and France even, could be inaugurs ted.
Hence too we must continue to extort large
sums of money and gold and lock it up in
the State and National Treasures, and
at the opportune moment, when The peopk
desire to exchange their products 50 az tC
enable those who live by this system o.
public plumber, to gather the larger share
of the annual industries into their granaries
and vaults, all this is done under cover o.
the eupbonlous names of gold bonds, cur
rency and revenue laws
In conclusion, then il is unhestatingly
affirmed that the government of the United
States is now run entirely in the interests
OF Bankers, Broker Gold Gamblers, Stock
Jobbers and Railroad corporations. Tha
by Funding the public debt and pretending
to base the currency upon it, the last Con
gress has wiped out every vestige Of righ
in the people except that of resolution
Unless the system thus inagurated is me-
at the threshold, a money and bonded in
terest arlstOcracY representing over $40
600, 600, 900 Of interest bearing securitie,
are entbroned on the books Of labor
which will soon require hundred million
of toilers to feed this Moloch monster, cor
parate capital. Under this corporate system
small dealers, small farmers small mechanic
must give way to the corporate barons 0
finance, and the whole labor element mus
be melted down to be the mere prOletarie
of the system and the cOolie, the African
the American and European white labor mus
be melted down in a eonglomerste mass
where the more intelligent eff each class shall
act as the agents IN directing the industrie
now owned, planned and controlled by tn
Barons of this over shadowing, heartless anC
soulless corporate despotism Of the Ahnfght,
