When the number of pesos was increased from 21.5 to 32.25 per ounce of gold, while the number of
currency units per ounce of gold in the United States remained at 20.67, a purchaser of wheat or other
raw materials in the world market at Liverpool would have to give up 50% more gold to buy anything in
the United States, than in Argentina. (32.25 is 50% greater than 21.5.)
Liverpool importers will not give more gold to buy wheat in America than in Argentina. To meet this
artificial condition American farmers must give as much wheat per ounce of gold as the Argentina
farmers do.
They must sell their wheat at a serious discount below the natural and fair domestic price. They must
sell at a loss which deprives them of any profit or excess of income over outgo, which they must have to
buy the products of industrial centers. Thus industry is deprived of the purchasing power of over fifty
million people dependent upon farm income.
In considering this colossal fraud upon America, we must always remember that under the existing
scheme of things the price of the “surplus” (that which is exported) is the price of the whole crop,
despite various efforts to remedy this foolish condition, which efforts mysteriously die aborning.
So wheat, under present conditions, must continue to sell below its natural and fair price, and the farmer
obtain less than true value rendered. The very simplicity of the fraud has insured its success, although
newspaper blindness or intimidation may have played a part in allowing the fraud to continue. We have
been led by lying innuendo to believe that a “drop” in the gold buying power of our currency was bad, if
not actually crooked, as though people used currency to buy gold instead of the real needs of life. The
cart was put before the horse again, for the exact opposite is true.
Holding “high” the gold buying power of our currency is the real fraud. As shown above, when a
skillful play on words (typical un-American deception) has been replaced by ordinary language, the
simple truth can be understood by everyone. Beware of those who say their “economics” and monetary
systems are too deep and mysterious to be penetrated.
When the United States was raising the price of gold, from April 19th to July 19, 1933, raw material
prices were rising.
HOW AND WHY AMERICAN PRODUCERS ARE SHUT OUT OF WORLD MARKETS
How gold prices are juggled against American farmers, laborers and industrialists
NOTE : The price of wheat, which governs all farm prices, is set in England, where world
“surpluses” go to market. Now, at London, an ounce of gold will buy less U.S. currency than
foreign currencies. American farmers are shut out of export markets.

How Foreign Currencies are “Stacked” Against the United States

The above figures show that while the number of U.S. dollars exchangeable for an ounce of gold has
been raised from 20.67 to 35, which is 69%, the currencies of competing raw material countries, and
of Japan, our chief finished goods export competitor, have been increased a greater percentage. For
example: Argentina has increased 117% and Japan 191%.
This unfair competition has been arranged by the London “gold crowd.” It causes a downward spiral
for America. American farmers’ buying power is decreased. Less factory goods can be bought.
Factory labor is reduced. Labor buying power is cut; labor can buy less farm products and
manufactured goods. Farm “surpluses” mount. Farmers are coerced to cut production, which means
smaller food supplies and higher prices. Labor can then buy less food — more malnutrition and
starvation ensue, etc., etc. Unless this condition is corrected violence is inevitable, which is what the
international schemers—the aspirants to World Dictatorship, seek that they may destroy our
government.
REMEDY : (1) Renounce gold forever as part of domestic money structure. (2) Raise the price of
gold to full parity with other countries to settle international trade balances. (3) Give silver
important place in settlement of international trade balances.

Dobre pomysły nie mają przeszłości, mają tylko przyszłość. Robert Mallet
De minimis - o najmniejszych rzeczach.
Dobroć jest ważniejsza niż mądrość, a uznanie tej prawdy to pierwszy krok do mądrości. Theodore Isaac Rubin
Dobro to tylko to, co szlachetne, zło to tylko to, co haniebne.
Dla człowieka nie tylko świat otaczający jest zagadką; jest on nią sam dla siebie. I z obu tajemnic bardziej dręczącą wydaje się ta druga. Antoni Kępiński (1918-1972)
