8. And Government said, Let there
be gold coin: and there was gold
coin.

coin, that it was capable of monopoly:
and Government divided gold coin
from all other mediums of exchange.
5. Aud government called gold coin
Legal Tender, and other mediums of
exchange he called Taxable Notes.
And confusion and depression we're
the first day.
6. T Aud Government said, Let
there be a monopoly in the midst of
the people, and let it divide the COM
modities from the commodities.
Z. And government created the
monopoly, and divided the commodi-
ties of the producer from the com
modities of the consumer: and it was
so.
8. And Government called the mo
nopoly Bank. And poverty and
wretchedness were the second day.
9. And Government said, Let
the gold coin be gathered together
unto one place, and let paper appear:
and it was so.
10. And Government called the pa.
per Bonds; and the gathering together
of the gold coin called the Good Se-
curity: and Government saw that it
was good.
IL. And Government said, Let the
Bonds bring forth compound Interest
and usury, yielding extortion after his
kind: and it was so.
II. And the Bonds brought forth
Interest and usury, yielding extortion,
whose seed was in Itself after it's kind:
and Government saw that it was
good.
Is. And misery and want were the
third day.
IA. And Government said, Let
there be forces behind the Banks, to
protect the Creditor from the Debtor;
and let them be to collect the Interest,
by the seasons, and by the days, and
by the years.
Is. And let them be to protect the
Banks, and to intimidate the people:
and so it a
16. And Government made two
great forces; the greater force to kill
the insubordinate; and the lesser force
to demand the Interest; and he made
the police force also.
II. And Government set them all
over the country to intimidate the
people. IS
IS. And the greater force the gov,
eminent called Army; and the lesser
force called the Civil Authority: and
Government saw that it was good.
19. And fear and trembling were
the fourth day.
20. G And Government said, Let
the good Security buy up the land
and take rent that may crush the pro,

81. And Government created the
great tariff, and every tax that op,

ment saw that it was good.

saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
monopolize all the exchange, and let
the rent increase upon the earth.

"a. And Government said, Let
the Bonds be perpetuated, and be pay
able in gold, and let usury and soul
duggery bring forth fruit after their
kind: and it was so.
Is. And Government made Taxes
after their kind, and Interest after it's
kind, and Rent after it's kind: and
Government saw that it was good. lie
26. And Government said, Let
us make politicians in our image, after
our likeness: and let them have domin
ion over the Taxes on commodities,
and over the rent of the earth, and
over the interest on the Bonds.
27. So Government created poIiti.
clans in his own image, in the image
of Government created he them.

and said unto them, Be fruitful and
govern the people and subdue them,
and have dominion over Rent, Interest
and Taxes.
20. q And Government said, Be

and Taxes, that you may have domin.

thing that voteth upon the face of the
earth.
80. And over all workers on the
earth, that ye may live upon the pro.
duct of their toll. I have given you
their wealth: and it was so.

thing that he had made, and, behold,
it looked very good. But fury and
