McGinity’s Fifth
Reader For 2940 A. D.
BY GIBBONS POTEET

“A little learning is a
dangerous thing; Drink
deep or taste not the
Pierian Springs; Those
shallow draughts intoxi-
cate the brain, but drink-
ing deeply soberr us
again.”
All learning is peculiar thing.
It is nearly impossible for the
mind to grasp a new thing unless
ic contains something of a similar
nature onto which the new idea
may be grafted, just as in the
plant world only plants of a kin--
dred nature may be grafted and
made to prosper. Some philosopher
| said many years ago:
“The keenest anguish known to
human nature is the pain of a new
idea.”
This classic prologue is intend-
ed as an introduction to this new
[ j lesson on money. The money ques-
tion has now been settled so long
that the people of this good year,
2940 A. D. have never even heard
it mentioned, so to the pupils of
this generation it will be entirely

McGinty’s Fifth ReaotVJ- pre-
sents the lessons on money in GVz
der that our students may be able
to comprehend Ancient History
when they shall reach it in their
college course. Without knowledge
of the science of money a student
could no more comprehend the
history of a thousand years ago,
say 1940, than a chimpanzee could
work algebra. It is only by know-
ing the past of the race that we
may evaluate the present and in-
ticipate the future. It is said that
“History Repeats Itself.” The
|! gods forbid that the people of this
happy age of 2940 A. D. should
be so untutored and benighted
that history might do some of its
repeating and visit upon them the
barbarous and savage reign of the
Money Merchants of 1940. In that

year in Europe and Asia one-half
the human race was trying to kill
the other half, and making h
pretty good lob of it. In our good
America there was an abundance
of all the essentials and luxuries
of life, and still at least half the
people were being supported by
the government one way or an-
other. The people themselves did
not know what was the matter.
They had been kept in the dark as
regards the laws of money. A few
of the thinking men did under-
stand and they did try to warn
the people. But their voice was as
a baby crying in the wilderness.
But their little teaching was as
the “little leaven that leaveneth
the whole lump.” If it had not
been for the work of the Money
Reformers of that day the science
of money never would have been
understood by the people and you
children now would have been in
a slavery the most vile and abject
known to history.
All through the ages there were
a few men who understood the
laws and power of money. This
esoteric few were sometimes call-
ed “Money Changers,” sometimes
Money Merchants, sometimes In-
ternational Bankers. They never
produced anything. They never
did a thing that would keep a wo-
man or a baby alive. Still they
had more to do with the lives of
women and babies than anything
else on earth. They contrived
clever devices and called it “busi- |
ness” that would take the milk out I
of babies’ mouths; yea, it would.j
dry up the milk on the mothers’ i
breasts.
Do you ask why the people sub-
mitted to such slavery? A lack of
knowledge. The people did not
understand. The money secrets
w’CTS-.JW'efully guarded. And
money was^'gOsUfjed.” The peo-
ple were made to "ilfUeve Jkat
money was sacred—that it wa^fL
worth more than any other form
of property. Our good government
now knows that money itself has
no value at all—that it is merely
a “tool” and it is used as a tool,
or a “public utility,” as necessary
to the life of business as is blood
to the life of the body.
The people learned the art of
producing goqds long before they
learned the art of money. In a
commercial state everything has
to be reduced to dollars before it j
can move from producer to con-
sumer. This gave the Money Mer- i
chants all their power. By manip- j
ulating the “value” of money they j
could FIX the value of all other j
goods. Often the people would pro-
duce an abundance of the essen-
tials of life but their raw products
would not fetch enough “dollars”
to pay their way to market. So
they had famine in a land of
plenty. But don’t laugh, children,
these were your honored ancestors
and they were doing their best.
They were learning, but slowly. It
took the people thousands of years
to learn what it was that was en-
slaving them. But at last enough
of them did learn the money sec-
rets to force their governments to
get back to their Constitution and
create the money first-hand and
“regulate the value thereof,” the
regulation being in conformity
with the Preamble to the Consti-
tution, “to promote the GENER-
AL welfare.”
Do you say, children, that you
have learned nothing about
money yet? 5Tb, tHe"crop is n6t"i
made when the ground is first j
plowed in the spring—but the
ground must be plowed. You .
could not expect to learn in one !
lesson what it took the human
race thousands of years to learn.
In this introductory lesson on
money we could only hope to get
the class interested. A student
never learns anything unless he is
me the Democratic nomination.
It will be my constant desire to
J o., conduct this office that I will
, give general satisfaction to all,
I ard I solicit the coopcratfb" of
J cne and all.
j With all good wishes to every-
I cne, I am
Yours sincerely,
W. W. (Bill) RODERICK.
