Pàgina 42 - Nay, take my life and all; pardon not that. You take my house, when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house ; you take my life, When you do take the means whereby I live.
Pàgina 111 - I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat; thirsty, and ye gave me drink. I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me. I was sick, and ye visited me. I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Pàgina 39 - ... the whole : making it a rule to keep its discounts within its income. The operation proceeds thus : by issuing no new notes, but requiring something from your debtors, you oblige them to return to you the Bank notes you lent them, or their equivalents.
Pàgina 39 - The reader can too easily divine the nature of this power, for it is now grinding America as well as England in the dust. It is the banking system, and its leader in this country has acknowledged, that by it alone, he and his class had the power to " make men willing to make sacrifices."* It is done simply by lending and withdrawing at certain times and places, and * Biddle's letter published in Gouge's History of Banking.
Pàgina 111 - ... in prison, and ye ministered unto me; and inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto me.

The great banker, like the robber by the sword, men consider good society, while the honest man of value to his fellow men, is held as base, ignoble, vulgar, and looked down upon with scorn.
Pàgina 62 - It consists of two parts. The tariff, to encourage manufacturers by raising the prices of foreign goods so high when brought to our markets that the domestic may be preferred as cheaper ; and the banking system, to afford facilities to trade. But by the issue of paper money from the banks, prices are raised, and domestic manufactures are to a great extent neglected for the foreign articles, and no increase of the tariff, as experience has proved,can protect domestic productions, while the banks may...

They too are striving to escape that hydra, want, and seek the glory of the world, and dare not speak against the great accumulator.
