And Of a truth, there is not a laboring
man who is the only producer there is in
the United States of America that don't
have to pay usury on money. Now / say
that have got 100000 in gold money, and
l lend it to the people at the rate of 6
per cent. and be EXEMPT from taxes. The
bond is secured wi h the people. Besides
from that, give me $50, 600 of paper money
secured by my own money, and l lend it

James 5:1-10. Go to now, We rich men,
weep and howl for your miSerieS that
shall come upon you.
Your riches are corrupted, and your
garments are moth-eaten.
Your gold and silver is cankered; and
the rust of them shall be witness

were fire. Ye have heaped treasure to-
gether for the last days.
Behold. the hire of the laborers which
have reaped down your fields, which is

cries of them which have reaped are en-

Ye have condemned and killed the just;

hearts; for the coming Of the Lord draw

rem, lest We be condemned; behold, the
Judge standeth before the door.
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who
have spoken in the name of the Lord, for
an example of suffering aff1iction, and Of
patience.
