at barge gerand lar and even by you who profess to be experts no man thought that a tree free people who had intended to atlow allow all the equal use ot of every avenue for the attainment ot of wealth and who intended to provide for the safeguarding of wealth after it was secured could be such dolts bolts as to allow themselves to be robbed of all their accumulated wealth by a device as simple as that ay by which children play at butt buff the process was no more complex than that employed by the robber ol of old who took the pebbles from the beach marked them money and with the money bought the labor of his fellows fel Jowa and by the manipulation ot of that labor and an by turning pebbles into money lif if took away from the laborer thi tb money which he had paid aie foj

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 I 1 saw that it these tricksters trick were to be routed and their system was to be destroyed it must be through the machinery of this stock exchange I 1 studied the machinery and presently I 1 marvelled marvellee marvel led that mm could for so long have been asses from the very nature of stock gambling ambling it Is necessary absolutely necessary that it be c ducted under certain rules ruler anchan senile ale unbreakable rules to attempt fb change or break which would destroy stock gambling the foundation rule the rulo rule absolutely necessary for the existence of stock gambling is any member of the stock exchange can buy or sell between the opening and closing ot of the as many shares of stock as he cares to with this rule in force his buying and selling cannot be restricted to the amount he can take and pay f or deliver and receive ray for because boci ise there is 13 not viloney money enough in the world v orld to pay tor for what under this ear saivii rule aaa can be bought and s ad d in a asle q gle session pia this S 13 19 b lc 1 l bees been arbitrarily ar by by these aesy trick many times more inore stocks thai there is money in emi euenee eU tence ence the amount of stock that any man cart cari sell in one session of the exchange 19 Is limited only by the amount that he can offer for sale and he ha can offer any amount lils his tongue can utter and he Is riot net compelled and cannot be compelled to lo show Is ability to deliver what lie he has ov of r 1 for sale until after lie he has fins finished lied selling which Is the following days you will ask as I 1 did can this le be possible you will find the answer I 1 found it is so and must continue to be so or there will be no EO stock gambling mark alark me tor for this statement Is weighted with the greatest import to you all A member of this exchange can sell as ag many shares of stock at one session as he cares to offer it any attempt is mate maie at tho the session he sells at to compel him either bea before fore or after he be offers to sell to show his ability to deliver away goes tho the gambling structure because from the very nature of the whole structure of stock gambling the same shares are sold and resold many times in each session and the seller cannot knovs know much less show that he can dell deliver until he first adjusts with the buyer and the buyer cannot adjust until after lie he has become such by buying it a rule were made compelling a seller to show his responsibility before sel selling lug every member would have every other member at his mercy and there could be no stock gambling whoa when I 1 had corked this out I 1 sav san that while the few trick of the system biad a perfect device tor for taking from the people their wealth weal I 1 had disco discovered ered as pe perfect a means of taking away from the few the balth they had secured from the hie many with this know knowledge ledge came it a conviction that my way was as honest as the systems in fact act more honest aln than theirs they took from the innocent I 1 took from the guilty what had already been dishonestly secured I 1 determined to put my discovery into I 1 e 1 I might never have done dona 90 tut but for that sugar panic in which 1 I 1 was S i robbed of millions by the system through harry barry conant in that panic an I 1 c unlimited the system with its unlimited ro resources filched from the people by the arbitrary manufacture of af stocks and by their manipulation did to me what I 1 afterward discovered I 1 could do to wern them without any resources other than my right to do business on oil the floor of this exchange you saw the outcome in the second sugar panic of my first experiment in a few minutes I 1 cleared a profit ot of 10 1 I could have made it fifty millions or one hundred and fitly fifty but I 1 was not then on familiar camillar terms with roy my new robber robbing device and I 1 had yet a heart to make this ten millions of money all that was necessary for me to do was to sell more sugar than ban barry conant could buy this was easy because barry conant not knowing ot of my newly invented trick could buy only what he could pay for on the morrow or at least what lie he believed his clients could pay for while 1 I not intending to deliver what I 1 sold unless by smashing the price to a point where I 1 could compel those who had bought to resell to me at millions less than I 1 sold at could sell unlimited amounts literally unlimited amounts when barry conant had bought all that he thought lie he could pay for he was obliged to beat a retreat in front of in my y offerings and I 1 was able to smash and nd smash until the price was so low that he 2 coill coid 4 not by the use ot of what lie ho had bought as collateral borrow cutna 1 to pay me for or what f ha had sold id him then lie he was C belled to turn lurn anil and sell bell what ho he had bought from MO m ria find when I 1 had re bought it ii for ten milli millions less than I 1 h sad harl arl sold it fo for r the bilek had been turned I 1 had sold mm shares say at lie ile had sold sold them back to me say at and he stood where lie he had bad stood at the beginning lie ha had nose none of the shares dott of 0 vz rs atoo so GO far as stock was con coa berned where vs e had stood at the be ba ginning but as to profits and losses thare was this difference I 1 bad ten millions ot nf dollars profits while barry Co nants clients the system word wem ten millions losers and all by a trick the trick did not differ in principle from tie the one la in constant practice by the abo n when the system after manufacturing sugar stock sell shares to the people for 10 jo they so manipulate the market by the use of the that they have taken from the people as to scare them into selling the shares bark to them tor for after thy have bought they again manipulate the market until the tha people buy br r tor for what they sold tor for 3 5 the system commits no legal legai crime I 1 comm committed bitted no legal crime I 1 had riot not even infringed any rule rue ot of the exchange any more than hal the system when they performed their choir trick since my experimental panic I 1 haie repeatedly put the trick in operation and each time I 1 have taken millions until today to day I 1 have in rny my control as absolutely as though I 1 1 had honestly earned them as the laborer earns his weeks wages or the tamer farrier the price ot of his crops over or sufficient to keep enslaved tile tho rest ot of their lives a million cj people fj to be continued |
