...rigorously, and perhaps conspicuously, omitted. The effect of these two rules naturally will be to exalt the Leader even more; and in consequence it may heighten the belief of the populace that when he passes, there will be none to replace him and things will go rapidly to pot.

The quantity of goods sold drops to less & less in spite of every one's eagerness to buy. Business comes to a standstill. The Government's credit goes to pot. Then, as in Germany after the War, when everyone is ruined except a few profiteers, sanity returns, sound money is again established and everybody begins again-at the bottom. Right Horse Forward. John Citizen has not seen this gruesome spectre but it has lurked in the minds of many a financier...
