Repudiation is unnecessary here. Simply stop the interest on all
American securities owned out of the country.

This we have a perfect right to do, and when it is done the foreign
holders
will be on their way here as fast as the first ship can take them. The
despised steerage and all will be full of him.

Here we are once more obliged to use a word that is as hateful to us as
it must be to every one who has probed the wounds of this bleeding
country in the hope of finding their cause. And probe where we will, and
how we will, it is Bonds; always Bonds - the interest bearing bonds. And
standing around are the hyena millionaires, from far and near, lapping
their income from the dying form whose first breath was the immortal
Declaration.

Gas Bonds, Water Bonds, Sugar Bonds, Flour Bonds, Telegraph Bonds,
Railroad Bonds, Bonds, Bonds, Bonds.

School District Bonds, Road Bonds, Municipal Bonds, County Bonds, State
Bonds, and United States Bonds - chief offender among them all, whose
issue is left to the sweet will of one man - the political freak now in
the White House.

[1] The railroad, of course, pays taxes to the county, but it would have
to pay taxes even if it had no income.
