In interest-slavery is the farmer, who, in order to finance his farm, must take "credit" at so high a rate of interest, that the interest almost east up the profits of his work, or who has made or must make debts and drag the mortgage debts with him as an eternal ball of lead.
In interest-slavery is the workingman, who labors in the factories and workshops for insufficient wages, while the stockholder collects interest and dividends without worry or work.
In interest-slavery is the entire bourgeoisie, which today must work practically speaking to pay for the interest on bank loans.
In interest-slavery are all who must earn their bread through bodily or mental work, while standing opposite them a class without care and without work obtains huge incomes through interest on loaned money, through profits in the market and through financial transactions. We do not speak of the small independent men or the men with saving accounts even though they collect small profits through a fundamentally unsound system but throughout their lives a hundred times the amount of money through taxes, pensions etc. so that in old age they may be given a part of what has been taken away from them before.
In interest-slavery is the industrialist, who has built up his business through the hardest of work, then, according to the principle of keeping up with the times has changed his business into a corporation; he is now longer his own boss, but he must satisfy the insatiable greed for profits of the members of the board and the stockholders if he does not want to be fired from his own business.
In interest-slavery is every nation that covers its need for money through loans.
In interest-slavery every nation is destroyed, every nation that gives its most important domestic sovereign rights to the money power the bankers, its financial interests, its railroads, and the control of the most important taxes and tariffs.
In interest-slavery are all nations and all governments that bend before the power of load-capital.
In interest-slavery is all creative work, that has lost its place to gold, so that today money had become the most brutal tyrant over work.
Breaking of interest-slavery is the steel axle about which everything turns.
