EDITOR'S FOREWORD.
ITH "charity toward all and malice toward none" we indite this volume of criticism of the Federal Reserve "Bunking" System as it is "practiced" in America. We are not posing as a modern David, nor do we underrate the size of the giant we have tackled herein by several damsights. And by the same token we are not depending on a single stone to deliver a knockout; on the contrary we are delivering a veritable volley of rocks at the object of our criticism and we hope that every chapter written here will raise bruises and welts on the back and belly of the critter.
We have no intention nor desire to kill. And we don't believe in reform. When a thing needs reforming it needs an axe. But what we are striving to do is to awaken public sentiment to the damnable ramifications of the Federal Reserve Octopus in the hope that the people will "come alive" and eventually force the Federal Reserve System to be born anew.
It is the abuse of the Federal Reserve System to which we object. Every little while some smart Alec mounts the bema and roars about the great good that the Federal Reserve System has accomplished. It is called the Savior of Credit and Industry. But it is misbranded. There's a vast difference between the picture on the tomato can and the contents of the can.
