cured, could be such dolts as to al
low themselves to be robbed Of all
their accumulated wealth by a device
as simple as that by which children
iplay at blindmans-buff. The process
was no more complex than that en-
ployed by the robber of old, who took
the pebbles from the beach, marked
them money, and with the money
bought the labor of his fellows, and
( by the manipulation of that labor and
by turning pebbles into money he
took away from the laborer the
money which he had paid them for
| the labor until all in the land were
slaves of the moneymaker. These few
tricksters said: We will arbitrarily
manufacture these chips-stocks. AT
ter we have manufactured them, we
will sell the world what the world
lcan pay for, and then by the use Of
the unlimited supply we still have we
will win away from the world what It
has bought, and repeat the operation,
until we have all the wealth, and the
people are enslaved. To do this there
was one thing besides the manufac-
turing Of the chips-stocks-tha was
absolutely necessary gambling
hell, the working of whose machinery
would place a selling value upon such
chips; a hell where, after selling the
chips, they could be won back. saw

studied the machinery, and presently
j marvelled that men could for so
long have been asses.
From the very nature Of stock
gambling it is necessary, absolutely
necessary, that it be conducted under
certain rules, Interchangeable, unbreak-
able rules, to attempt to change or
break which would destroy stock
gambling. The foundation rule, the
rule absolutely necessary for the ex-
istence of Safeguarding is; Any
member of the stock exchange can
buy, or sell, between the opening and
closing of the exchange as many
shares Of stock as he cares to. With
this rule in force his buying and sell
ing cannot be restricted to the amount
he can take and pay for, or deliver
and receive pay for, because there is
not money enough in the world to pay
for what under this same rule can be
bought and sold in a single session.
This is because there have been ar
bltrarily created by these few trick
sters many times more stocks than
there is money in existence. The
amount of stock that any man can
sell in one session of the exchange is
limited only by the amount that he
can offer for sale, and he can offer
any amount his tongue can utter;
and he is not compelled and cannot
be compelled to show his ability to
deliver what he has offered for sale
until after he has finished selling,
which is the following day. You will
ask as | did: Can this he possible?
you will find the answer found. It
is so, and must continue to be so. or
there will be no s,ock-gamblipg. Mark

with the greatest import to you all A
member of this exchange can sell as
many shares of stock at one session
as he cares to offer. If any attempt
is made at the session he sells at to
compel him either before OF after he
offers to sell to show his ability to
deliver, away goes the stock-gambling
structure, because from the very ma.
ture OF the whole structure Of stock
gambling the same shares are sold
and resold many times in each session
and the seller cannot know, much less
show, that he can deliver until he first
adjusts with the buyer and the buyer
cannot adjust until after he has be-
come such by buying II a rule We're
made compelling seller to show his
responsibility before selling, every
member would have every other mem
