"'Our structure rests upon the foundation of the promise made to
Abraham. It is your turn to speak, representative of the tribe of
Reuben! By what means will the Jewish nation achieve power and
supremacy over all other nations on earth?'
"A shrill, unpleasant voice then spoke:
"'All the princes and the lands of Europe are at present in debt.
The stock exchange regulates these debts. But such things are done
only by movable capital; therefore all the movable capital must go
over to the hands of the Jews. The foundation for this is already
laid, judging from what we have heard here. If we will be supreme
in the stock exchange, we will attain the same supremacy in the
governments. Therefore it is necessary to facilitate loans in order
to get them into our hands all the more. Wherever possible, we must
take in exchange for capital, mortgages on railroads, taxes, mines,
regalia and domains. Furthermore, the stock exchange is a means for
the transfer of the belongings of the small people to the hands of
the capitalists, by drawing them into stock gambling. Transactions
in securities are a splendid invention of our nation. Although the
stock exchange members cheat one another sometimes, it is the
outsider who always pays in the end.'
"The voice which resounded on the Paris Bourse became silent.
"'Do the _zekenim_ agree with the opinion of our brother?' asked
the Levite.
