THE MYSTERY Of MONEY

The mystery Of money exists BY
reason Of a conspiracy 10 keep the
truth in the possession Of the few, and
to prevent the public ever dabblng

public mind ever arrives at the condi-
ton where it can move easily about
among money facts. the reign IF mon

grounded. That is probably the way
in which knowledge would operate.
This Of course, is not the same fear
that others hold, namely, that the peo-
pie will act without adequate knowl-
edge. and thus cause disaster. That IS
quite another kind Of fear. But is one
that suggests its own remedy to prevent
the people from acting without knowl-
edge, the only thing to do is to PRO
VIDE THEM WITH KNOWLEDGE.
II you try to prevent their action you
will only precipitate it. Our rulers hard

Mr.. Ford is right when he says that
when tn people thoroughly understand
the money question. its Proper solution
will also be matter Of speedy action.
Direct popular self-government will
not tolerate money monopoly Of any kind
