rlgnL 10 pelleVe that they are not entirely de-
voted TO the cause of the people whom they
are not willing to take into their confidence.

financial system upon a money which they
cannot produce. they are building up an inse-
cure structure upon an invisible foundation,
and are insulting the intelligence of those
who mean what they say and say what they
mean.
