"C" purchases with $3,300 ("B's" money) which he borrows from _The Bank_, a copper-mine, depositing the title which he receives from the seller with _The Bank_ as collateral for the $3,300. After purchasing he arbitrarily calls the copper-mine worth $10,000--arbitrarily because his act is not controlled nor regulated by any of the laws of the land--arbitrarily because the actual cost, $3,300, is his secret and his alone. Then, arbitrarily, "C" organizes his $3,300 of copper property into the Arbitrary Copper Company, and issues to himself a piece of paper, which he arbitrarily stamps "10,000 stock dollars." This he takes to _The Bank_, and by loan or other device exchanges it for the remaining $6,700 belonging to "B," and thereafter "C" conducts his affairs on the basis that he is the possessor of $6,700, his "made dollars" in the transaction. At this stage there is actually in use among the people $16,700 where "B," the legitimate factor, and his kind, the people, suppose there is but $10,000--$10,000 which is recorded, known and legal, being used by the legitimate factors, "B" and _The Bank_, and $6,700 which is unrecorded and unknown to any but "C" and _The Bank_, being used by the illegitimate Private Thing "C." Right here is the secret device, the financial trick, by which the greatest power in the land has been created, and by which the people can be absolutely plundered of their savings for the benefit of the few. At this stage the two-thirds of "B's" $10,000, of which he later is to be plundered, has not been actually taken away, so he cannot possibly have any evidence yet of the process of pillage which has been begun, or that the volume of money which he supposes is all that exists has been tremendously expanded. The next step is where "C" sells his $3,300, stamped "10,000 stock dollars" (which, as already shown, he has exchanged with _The Bank_ for the $10,000 deposited by "B"), to "B" for $10,000, which $10,000 "B" withdraws from _The Bank_ by simply making out a check in favor of "C." ("B's" inducement to exchange his dollars for the stock dollars of "C" is the high rate of interest that they will return in the form of dividends, which rate is much larger than _The Bank_ can afford to pay.) "C" deposits "B's" check with _The Bank_ and hereby liquidates his $10,000 indebtedness to _The Bank_.
