all capitalists from being eaten up by what he terms the "System." It is very evident to some of us that if he cannot show us how to protect the great majority of the people who, although they are not even small capitalists, are the ones who are really footing the bills, his remedy will not be the grand success he anticipates. J. P. FERRITER. My Remedy will benefit the whole American people. It will help most the man who nowadays in America deserves most to be helped--the producer, who to-day is exchanging the efforts of all his working hours for the bare necessities of himself and family; not those bare necessities which the white slaves of Europe are ground down to believe are their only requirements, but those which the free and enlightened American believes, and has taught his family to believe, should be his necessities. It is intended to benefit most the man who has nothing left over after paying his bills Saturday night but the terrors of not being able to meet them the coming week. It would indeed be a parody on a Remedy if it did not bring relief to this class. Next, my Remedy will benefit that great middle class whose savings go to make up the billions in the savings-banks, national banks, trust and insurance companies, which are used by the "System" to secure for themselves a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand per cent. interest on _their_ capital, while the owners of these billions must be content with two and a half to four per cent. per annum; and Next, it will benefit that class which possesses large fortunes honestly acquired, inasmuch as it will enable them to know what there is behind their investments. None but those who have plundered the people--acquired overnight fortunes many times larger than any honest lifetime efforts could possibly bring--can possibly be hurt by the application of my Remedy. You are right--any remedy which would do other than what mine proposes to do would be a farce. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Transcriber's Notes: | | | | Page vi: Scheheherezade _sic_ | | Page 40: Missing "l" added to "loser" in Footnote 2 | | Page 59: guerilla _sic_ | | Page 62: dumfounded _sic_
