 In tlie hope that You, either for a religious, aitcl hu- 
 man sentiment, or for the interest, of your economical- 
 social position, would make vows for Peace, the most 
 humble author takes the liberty of sending this popular 
 catechism of his, that you might by your words, or by 
 your pen, give it that publicity which has hitherto 
 stopped, the effectuation, of those theories, which have 
 initiated, the social progress of mankind, but which 
 unfortunately did not find their Napoleons, to make 
 them pass, from the dominion of the theories, into that 
 of the accomplished facts, on account of which, their 
 empire has led them on to war, notwithstanding, that 
 they were caused to be accepted, as the. Angels of Peace. 
 
 Sure of Your moral protection,, as my theory leans 
 upon the protection of families,, of nations, of states, and 
 of mankind, I have honoured myself by writing your i 
 most respectable name on the register of ray protectors, j 
 in order to find the wished for Angel of the Holy Apo- 
 calypsis, who should shut up the Great Beast into hell 
 to seduce nations no more, as is "promised us, in the

To the honourable Mr . J AMES WILSON memher of the 
 lloitse of Commons, in the parliament of Great Bri- 
 tain, 
 
 To you ivho were the first economist that recognized 
 the irregularity , of the interest exacted by the managers 
 of the Savmg-banks and Insurance-offices have the mana- 
 gement of 150 millions of pounds sterling on which they 
 gam 5 millions per annum and which you called sinecures 
 to you ivho laboured so much with the honourable Mr. Cob- 
 den, for the reform of free trade, but uoho forgot to embrace 
 the most important traffic of all, that is, money, to you 
 ivho as one of the most intelligent and zealous members 
 of the Peace-Society recognized in the facility of loans, 
 the facility of the armaments by which ministers surround 
 themselves to dispute ivith one another the pleasures of 
 power; to you in short who loere t\\e first among' the eco- 
 nomists to have the kindness as to promise me your patro- 
 nage for the propagation of my social reform by means of 
 the reform in Saving-Banks ; I recommend this last ca-

 techism, which may perhaps betray the loeahiess of an 
 old economist -wearied with those cruelties with which all 
 phila7ithrophists who thought it easy to reveal a truth, 
 and who descended into the grave cursing that race which 
 they had undertahen to amend. 
 
 But remember you have on your hands not only a 
 Turkey in its last agonies but also an England which af- 
 fected with paralysis in her arms, might cause her to pe- 
 rish in the arms of a friend who might feel an interest in 
 her prematui'e death in the hope of possessing an ample 
 inheritance / 
 
 Remember then, and quickly in the house which still 
 
 waits the discussion of the bill for the reform of Saving 
 
 Banks laid on the table by Mr. Gladstone that the resto- 
 ration of the dying Turkey, and the recovery of the qyara- 
 lyt'ic England depend on the speedy discussion of the said 
 bill, because decreeing to unite all the savings of the 
 English people with the Government fimds, to le-nd them 
 to the East, then the Parliament, would make all the 
 English savings serve for the preservation of peace, by 
 opposing this loan to that of the French cabinet destined 
 for war. 
 
 I conclude, Sir, this short recoimnendationof mineioitk 
 the celebrated words of the great statesman Sir Robert 
 Peel, when the vote favouring the reform in free trade 
 ivas extorted from him ivhich are these — England is in 
 great danger, the irregularity of that enormous wealth 
 which we see among the aristocracy , and of that distress- 
 
ing ivretcliedness which we behold among the lowest classes 
 of the democracy. I attribute these evils of society to the 
 false civilisation on which we are proceeding and am of 
 opinion that the more obstinate tve are in pursuing this 
 path, the more we shall hasten the crisis with which we 
 are threatened. The crisis is arrived, aud England can- 
 not this time escape it, by throwing it on the continent, 
 as she did in 1848 ..., because her ally has nowin her 
 hands the fate of the finest, and of the East, which she 
 has laid under her power by means of the popular loan 
 under the firm of Napoleon III, and Co. 
 
 How can England save herself under the pressure of so 
 powerful, and ambitious an ally who will now command 
 the war to her own advantage ? She has no other means 
 than that of commanding peace by a loan still more po - 
 pular than that of France under the firm of Victoria I, 
 and Comp, — and then, instead of ^50 millions of fiance, 
 there will flow into the general bank at Constantinople 
 250 millions of pound^s sterling, and we shall see on ndiich 
 side the true, or the false orthodoxy stands. 
 
 Sir, my mission is accomplished with this last catechism 
 and now begins yours and that of all those who ate asha- 
 med of the present English policy degrading to the nation 
 and to the queen, jind threatening to the envied worldly 
 power to which England had raised heiself.

 When society is organized according to this statistical figure, it will 
 dissolve all the systems of socialists, from Plato, to Fourier; and by giving 
 to each his due, it must shut up hell, or it must make the monopoly and 
 concurrence in economy politics, and religion vanish from the earth as it is 
 promised in chap, xx of the Book of Revelations with these words. — 
 And I saw an Angel come down from heaven having the key of the bot- 
 tomless pit, and a great chain in his hand. And he got hold of the dragon, 
 that old serpent, that is the devil (monopoly), and Satan (concurrence) and 
 bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and 
 shut him up, and sealed him, that he might seduce the nations no more, 
 till the thousand years were fulfilled. — Here stands the mind pos.sessed

 CATECHISM 
 
 
 Tiieoreti<~:al part of the figure. 
 
 Q.. What is life ? 
 
 A. It is the manifestation, of a physical, almighty, 
 incomprehensible, and mystical force, which we call 
 nature, destined to represent in this world a moral in- 
 visible, wise, and provident force, which we call God. 
 
 Q. How do we procure the means of passing this life? 
 
 A. Using this physical force, directed b) that moral 
 force, with which man, and woman are endow^ed, wor- 
 
 king' to extract from the earth all those unexhausted. 
 
 riches, which serve for the preservation and comforts of 
 life. 
 
 Q. How are these riches extracted ? 
 
 A By the labour of the arms, guided by the attrition 
 of experience, organized by the knowledge of reason, 
 sanctified by the precepts of religion, and afterwards 
 protected by the civil and penal laws of governments 
 which caus,e the riches obtained by the labour of the 
 arms, and by the productive abilities, to be respected. 
 
 Q. How are these riches obtained. 
 
 A. Every man and every woman that works for them- 
 selves or for others by natural instinct, consumes less 
 riches, produced than those consumed in procuring them 
 
 
 
 j 
 
— 9 
 
 for themselves or for others, and this general instinct in 
 the producers, induces, them to sell the things produced 
 with an interest, or usury on the cost of production, 
 which increases the value, of individual and general 
 riches. 
 
 Q. But why do we find the earning of a livelihood 
 always more difficult ? 
 
 A. Because the mo*re riches, are created by the work 
 of the arms and by the intelligence of man and woman, 
 the more the desire of producing them indefinitely, as 
 much as is possible,, and in the least time possible increa- 
 ses. This desire favoured by government and by science 
 and assisted by the clergy, affected with the general 
 distemper of the rage for usury which is the passion of 
 the age renders the earning of a livelihoocL difficult for 
 them who live by the labour of their arms, and by their 
 knowledge, and full of grievous uncertainty for those 
 who live by serving government ; or by usury on the 
 capital of founded or’other species of property. And tO' 
 speak the language of economists, life is rendered diffi- 
 cult, bv monopoly and competition. 
 
 Q. Explain now what you mean by a rage for usury,, 
 and how it is practised. 
 
 A. We have said that the work of the arms, or of 
 knowledge produces the riches that serve for the wants 
 and for the comforts of life, and to create indefinitely 
 new riches. This mysterious system of Divine provi- 
 dence, has created a science, which has taken the name 
 of social economy, which works in order to organize 
 riches, but which has not yet succeeded from the oppo- 
 sition of parasites who liye by rendering themselves 
 necessary to society. These are precisely the parasites, 
 
who are called exchangers, because they wish to sell to 
 society, a government, and a religion, falsified by their 
 egotism, or by the use of fictitious capital rendered ne- 
 cessary by the circulation of produced riches. 
 
 Q. And how is this usury managed? 
 
 A. By putting fraud and deceit in every word, 
 and in every action, to make one believe the contrary of 
 what they say or do, to live like parasites at the expense 
 of the ignorance, and of the credulity of the people. 
 And as this spirit of agiotage, has proved that large for- 
 tunes can be made at. the commercial exchanges, it has 
 been introduced into all the trades of life, that this self- 
 styled civilization may be called a refinement of usury, 
 in economy, in politics, and in religion. 
 
 Q. And do you think it possible to cure society of 
 this social degradation ? 
 
 A. Ir, would be a blasphemy to suppose so much ty- 
 ranny in the Creator, as to have made Himself an image in 
 man and woman, endowed with the divine aspiration of 
 resembling Him, in their thoughts, in their words, in 
 their actions, and meanwhile to make use of these gifts 
 of creation to oppress, their own brothers and sisters, 
 rendering their subsistence impossible. And therefore 
 the remed}' must be sought in the evil itself, for there 
 cannot be an absolute evil, in the works of God, but 
 relative evils, to serve as an impulse to look for their 
 remedy, in the study of the supposed evil itself. 
 
 Q.. And what do you think may be the remedy ? 
 
 A. The principle, that there are no absolute evils but 
 relative ones being admitted, then, by rendering univer- 
 sal these supposed evils, and by adopting the principle 
 of homeopthy that like cures like, by accepting the 
 
— 11 — 
 
 % 
 
 agiotage, wliicli consists in the rage of obtaining riches, 
 and ] 30 wer in society, and retaining this principle as 
 the natural instinct of man and woman the said 
 general rage declared to be natural, rational, and 
 moral, must convince all men, that as fhey all come into 
 the world naked, they come into the world with the 
 right of living by usury, or by exacting an interest, on 
 the natural capitals of the earth, or on the artificial ones, 
 of labour and ability. This agiotage would then be 
 sanctified by the divine word, mutuality in which con- 
 sists the mysterious religion of life. 
 
 Q. Have you any other name more common and more 
 popular to express these supposed eyils of society ? 
 
 A. Apply the name of general corruption, or egotism 
 refined by civilization to this general tendency to enrich 
 ourselyes, the most we can, and as fast as possible to 
 satisfy our wants, and to procure for ourselves the grea- 
 test quantity of the comforts of life, and you will have 
 already defined the true disease of society and discovered 
 the general panacea to cure it, which would be that of 
 associating all the corrupters, and corrupted, or all the 
 individual egotisms, in a general egotism, organized in 
 such a manner, that no man, apd no woman, could at- 
 tempt another’s happiness, to increase his own and behold 
 then founded, on a universal mutuality, the natural reli- 
 gion of man, and the supernatural, one enjoined*on him 
 by God, personified, in all man, who have hitherto 
 worried one another, to organize society, and have in 
 the name of that God they boast to represent reduced it 
 to a brigandage! Melt then by means of mutual asso- 
 ciation, the individual I, into the uniyeisal I, and behold 
 then the solution of the social question of public peace

 called, money, which thing economists call universal 
 merchandise, organizing then this mutuality, or the agio 
 of what we give., or do, by means of money, we obtain 
 the organization of the subsistence of states, towns, 
 families, and individuals, in arithmetical proportion to 
 the value of the thing which we mutually give or do, 
 one for another,. 
 
 Q. So far the affair goes well; but you must tell us, 
 how every individual may earn as much money as will 
 be sufficient for his subsistence. 
 
 A. All riches come from the earth, which furnishes us 
 with life, and that is why you see at the bottom of the 
 'figure, the ploughman Avho sustains the whole social 
 pyramid. This ploughman furnishes us with the grain 
 for our nourishment, and all the first materials for 
 clothing and habitation as the miner furnishes us with 
 the metals for working them. Then on the first scale 
 of the pyramid, are to be placed, agriculturists, miners, 
 fishermen, hunters., on the second category, or scale are 
 to be placed manufacturers, and on the third traders. 
 Ihese are the threes classes of producers indispensable, 
 to the subsistence of individuals, of towns, of states, of 
 mankind,. 
 
 Q-. But why then do you place above these three 
 classes those of the men of science, of art, of genins and 
 above these another scale for ministers. 
 
 A, The whole system of providence, w'hich urges on 
 His children, to an indefinite progress, consists in the 
 amelioration of mankind by their taking advantage of 
 things knowm to discover the unknown: and that is why 
 natural life can be supported only by art, but civil life 
 wiints scieijce; because men cannot liye by bread only,. 
 
and order, in every state, and also the settlement of the 
 question of the East by the social reform of the West. 
 
 Effectuation of this figure. 
 
 Q. Explain to us now the means by which the fusion 
 of all individual egotisms, into a universal one may be 
 obtained. 
 
 A. Observe that great number ONE, placed on the 
 top of the pyramid, and retain it as the figure of God, 
 as well in the universal society of humanity, as in the 
 national society of the state, and the domestic society of 
 the family, and you will find the problem solved, be- 
 cause all the numbers placed beneath Num. 1. will be 
 all states mutually associated in the world, all cities 
 mutually assoicated in the state, all families mutually 
 associated in the cities, all individuals mutually associa- 
 ted in the family. In a word, this figure expresses the 
 social mathematical cosmography, governed by numbers. 
 
 O. Hitherto the uniting idea proceeds tolerable well, 
 but come now to the fact of practical association, by 
 means of which we obtain a livelihood . 
 
 A. A livelihood is obtained by means of the mutual 
 asiotaffe, reduced to four social contracts which are these 
 — I give you something, in order that you may give me 
 something else, I give you something, that you may do 
 for me something else, I do something that you may 
 give me something else, I do something, that you may 
 do something else for me. — This exchange of services, 
 or of things, is called agio because it aids value to the 
 services, or the things exchanged. Now this thing which 
 is exchanged for all things that are, done or given, is 
 
14 — 
 
 Unfortunately however this science hy its subjection of 
 art, has rendered civil life a monopoly fo? a few doctri- 
 naires who have succeeded in founding an antisocial 
 science, which they have called civilisation, which con- 
 sists in the mysterious refinement of this spirit of agio- 
 tage, that causes a want of bread to the producers of 
 riches of every kind, and that excites the rage of the 
 numerous proletarians who have written on their social 
 standard, either live working or die fighting ! 
 
 Q. And how can this despotism be' removed from 
 the science of the doctrinaires to disarm the anger and 
 the conspiracy of the proletarians? 
 
 A. By organizing, democracy, aristocracy monarchy, 
 society, and community, by means of figures, so that 
 every workman first, and then every scientific man may 
 earn money in proportion to the improvement produced 
 to mankind in the state, in the community, in the family 
 and its individuals that is to say by establishing a m.u-^ 
 tual universal company in shares as the cunning Jesuits 
 have managed to organize one and as all the actual 
 banks and industrial companies are organized in shares, 
 in which, thine and mine ours and yours^ may be 
 represented by figures, so that what is the people’s, may 
 belong to the people; what is Cesar’s to Cesar and 
 what is God’s to God. 
 
 Q. What! do you wish for a universal a Company 
 of Jesuits in shares when this infernal society is so 
 much hated ? 
 
 A. It is not names which make things, but it is 
 these which make the names of things. It is not the 
 papist Jesuits, who render infernal the present society, 
 hut also the antipapists for at the present day jesuit

 means egoist who makes use of religion, to take from 
 people, the personification of God what ought to he 
 the People’s, to give it to a man, who .exercises the 
 duties of the deVil, under the title of king or pope. 
 And as money is the element of life, so the doctrinau'es 
 have deprived mankind of the right of managing 
 their money, hy placing it at the disposition of the 
 juinisters of the state, and of the church, to furnish 
 the servants of the state and the church with the 
 means of living like rich gluttons at the expense of 
 the People who have produced the' money ! 
 
 Q. And what would you do to organise the money 
 of the People so that it may be no more plundered and 
 devoured hy the ministers of Cesar and of God ? 
 
 A. Social science tends to organize the wealth that 
 is called accumulated Savings. By reforming then the 
 Savingbanks so that every man, and every woman may 
 daily convey to them their savings to gain on them an 
 interdst, or agio by opening a register, or consolidated, 
 fund, denominated at the present day the great bookt 
 in which are put down the names of the savers in the 
 city; and having the chest bank to be managed by those 
 who have the larger sums in it ; wealth must be alge- 
 braically organized. Behold then the whole family 
 of citizens associated with all the industrial classes of 
 the city. Arrange with equal system the consolidated 
 fund, or great book of the state, and you will have 
 the same organization of wealth, and the same guaran- 
 tee for all cities. Do the same with the consolidated 
 fund or universal great book and you will have the 
 gurantee for all states. — This is the theory of Sovereign 
 Bancocracy, and of the Grand Social Book of .Mankind,

 Circulation of Money. 
 
 Q,. Explain now' how this reform must give us the 
 desired organisation of labour, of capacity, of property, 
 of peace, and of civil and religious morality and above 
 all how it is to dissolve the question of the East. 
 
 A. Observe those three chains, that surround the so- 
 cial pyramid, and suppose them to he of gold, silver 
 and copper money. These represent the daily saving 
 in the city, in the state, in the world. Now all the 
 social question lies between the idle (doctrinaires) and 
 the labouring classes (proletarians) because the former 
 deyour the sweat earned savings of the latter. Insure 
 these savings, by trusting them every evening tonum. 1 
 of the community, who is called mayor, governor, 
 syndic ec. ec., and haye him controlled by responsible 
 advisers or directors, appointed by 20, 30, 50 of the 
 greatest savers of the city, and then the idle will be 
 obliged to work, because society would become bilate- 
 ral, from leonine it actually is. Do the same with the 
 ministers and directors of the State — bank, and there 
 will be an end to the quacks who will no longer sell you 
 doctrines dictated by their bellies as dictated by the 
 wisdom of God and which proceed from the devil. 
 
 G. But how will labour be organized for that great 
 majority of proletarians who cannot bring money to 
 Num. 1 ? 
 
 A. This was the pons asinorum problem of social 
 science, and behold it solved by the mutuality which 
 supports the whole system of Creation and Revelation. 
 The community-bank will assign a Centime a day to the 
 sayers, or the income from 3 to 65 centimes, per cent a 
 year. It will daily lend these savings to those, bus- 
 
l>aiKlmen, manufacturers-, and traders, wlio can give se- 
 curity by their funded or industrial riches for 6 per cent 
 per annum, and it will employ this usury for the expense 
 of the community, and of the state. Then as into the 
 bank of the community, and of the state, there will rim 
 more money than can be daily lent, all useful arms, and 
 abilities, that can produce material wealth, that can 
 cause mankind to enjoy civil, and moral wealth, with 
 the comforts of sciences, and of fine arts, will be turned 
 to account. 
 
 Q,. But how will savers do then, to take back their 
 money from the Saving-banks ? 
 
 A. The word, money, does not mean, coin which has 
 been the error of all social economists, but it means, a 
 certain sign of a quantity of tvealth, represented by the 
 figures written in this aign which is called bank-note, 
 hill of exchange, promissory note, share, &c. &c. When 
 one is sure then that this sigji will be accepted as money 
 as well for the capital, as for the agio of the daily cen- 
 time there is no need of coin, except for things beneath 
 the value of sign in paper. The bank will then issue 
 some interest-bearing signs in paper- money bought by 
 the savers, in a week, and will not issue any the next 
 week but will in the latter lend the savings to those who 
 bring their bills to have money. These signs in paper 
 to be issued to those who wish to borrow, do not pro- 
 duce any interest because they will be like the actual 
 bank-notes in account then of the bank’s refusal to collect 
 savings in this second weok, the savers will be obliged 
 to buy the interest-bearing signs from those who ob- 
 tained them in the preceding week.

 — 18 — 
 
 Q,. But how will the communal, or national bank do 
 to recover the money lent to proprietors, and to hus- 
 bandmen who require years to improve their property 
 and agriculture ? 
 
 A. As money tends to be reproduced by money the 
 most antisocial favourite scheme of the doctrinaires is 
 that establishing the extinction of the debts of com- 
 munities, or of the state, which they have never been 
 able to extinguish, for the simple reason that if it was 
 necessary to incur a debt, when the interest of money 
 was (let us suppose) at 5 per cent, so much the more is 
 the extinction impossible, when you must return the 
 10 per cent, between principal, exchange, and multiplied 
 interest. And even if you had returned it what would 
 the capitalist do with this money? Behold then the 
 never-ceasing cause of european poverty ! Behold 
 then the nourishment of this infernal agiotage which the 
 debt, easy renders easy perpetual a tyranny ! Behold 
 then the want of placing one’s own savings, to, force 
 rashly the capital among into deceitful manufacturing 
 speculations w'hich throw nations into crises, and revo- 
 lutions ! Behold us now on the eve of a most fratricidal 
 war, or revolution in which all the industrial elements 
 of wealth, are called forth to fight, for the destruction 
 of produced riches! Calculate 100 billions of francs, in 
 public funds threatened by European bankruptcy cal- 
 culate 20 billions already lost by the falling of these 
 public funds, calculate the value of fleets and armies 
 taken away from industry, value the lives of so many 
 millions of arms, and of abilities taken away from indu- 
 stry, and do not curse, if you can, this infernal science 
 which wishes to sanctify in the blessed name of God, 
 
the slaughter of mankind personification of God, in the 
 sacred name of God ! ! ! 
 
 Rkady means of the management of 
 
 THIS REFORM. 
 
 Q. Tell us which would be the means of manasinor 
 
 D ?!> 
 
 this reform ? 
 
 A. To profit of this terrible position of policy in 
 which the properties the capitals, and the subsistence 
 of the nation of the West, and of the East, are exposed 
 to found quickly that industrious Society, represented 
 in our figure, taking away from the proud, the dispos- 
 ing* of savings, and of the lives of their subjects, whom 
 they are causing to be killed in the East, in the name, 
 of God, of Christ, and of Mahomet, and to take 
 awaj frome policy, the key of the treasury to place 
 it at the disposition of industry. 
 
 Q. But all governments have already voted for, or 
 made loas for war: how would you destine them for 
 peace ? 
 
 A. On the table, of the House of Commons in En. 
 gland is deposed the plan of the reform; of Saving 
 banks, prepared by the Chancellor of Mr Gladstone, 
 the Exchequer, called forth, in the sitting of the 8th 
 of March 1853, by Mr. John Wilson, who has reque- 
 sted that all the saving's, of the People should he fim- 
 ded on the Treasury of the State, and that the inte- 
 rest, that the managers, whom he calls, sinecures, that 
 is to say, the parasites of the nation actually receive 
 should be acquired by the Government to mahe use of 
 them., to pay the expenses of the nation. Let the En- 
 
giisli Parliament, rouse then the discussion of 
 Gladstone’s plan that ministers to patronize parasite 
 Would bury in the archives of Presidency, and the 
 the ambition of despots, which disguises itself unde' 
 the Pharisaical zeal of the orthodoxy in the East amt 
 under the seducing civil progress in the West, will 
 hnd no more money to make war, because it will be 
 placed at the disposition of industry. 
 
 Q. But we see that the French Government has 
 made use of this same precept, to get money and has 
 destined it to war. 
 
 A. It is most true that the French Government, has 
 appealed to the savings of the people, and that instead 
 of 250,millions, it has obtained a subscription of 470 
 millions, but not having the loan controlled by the el- 
 der managers, as is proposed by the author of this re- 
 form the French Government, has desired to profit, of 
 the threats of Russia and of the stupidity of the En- 
 glish minister, to make pretend by the savings of Fran- 
 ce, and, of England, that it wdshes for peace, and 
 attempt the hit, of avoiding, that Europe, may be 
 cossack, or republican, but may become napoleonical, 
 catholic, roman ! ! ! 
 
 Q. What must then ihe English nation do to 
 thwart this devilish cheat of the French Government’s? 
 
 A. It must make requests to the Crown, to dismiss 
 a stupid minister, who has caused himself to be expo- 
 stulated by the French cabinet, to which he has sold 
 the English power, bought with 890millious of pounds 
 sterling, on the savings of the nation, which the war, 
 would cast in the bankrupt, as proves the daily 
 deduction of the public funds, which has abated all 
 
tile English, and european wealth, of hundreds of 
 millions ; ask for the prompt reform of the Saving- 
 banks, in manner, that, if the French Government has 
 made, a loan of 250 millions of francs for war, the 
 English Government might make another of a m}a’iad 
 of francs, for peace. Finally to reclaim the fulfulling 
 of the reform of the theory of free change, by applying 
 it to the most free circulation of the savings of the 
 nations of the West, on the wealthy territories of the 
 East. 
 
 Q.. Limit in a few articles the bill to be called forth 
 by the popular requests. 
 
 A. We limit it to a decalogue, because as we have 
 a very reacting one, because founded, upon opinions, and 
 because it is falsely applied, by policy, and by religion, 
 we wall found ours on figures, which are the only and 
 sole truth, that can give, the number, weight and mea- 
 sure of rights, and duties of man, towards man, before 
 he be either a citizen or a believer. 
 
 Art. I. Every man, and every woman by their 
 coming naked on earth, destined by nature to nourish 
 them, has the right of living in the best way possible 
 on condition, that he allows his fellow creatures, to live 
 in the best way possible. 
 
 Art. 2. Every man, and every woman, living on their 
 capitals, which consists in arms, abilities, and properties, 
 which produce savings, has a right to work, mutually 
 commanding their own capitals on earth. 
 
 Art. 3. As every command, myx^it be ruled by figures, 
 every man, and every woman, is born,- with the right of 
 commanding his own Work, his ability, and his property 
 by figures, and to em'oy by figures, his owm savings. 
 
Art. 4'. As tlie commanded iigures, must be represen- 
 ted by symbols, now-a-day called, public fund, every 
 inaM, and every woman, has the right to have part, in 
 this public wealth, with his savings. 
 
 Art. o. As every man, and every woman lives oil 
 money, and this money is represented by figures, and all 
 figures, are additions of unity therefore public w'ealth 
 must organized on the hundreth first unity. 
 
 Art. 6. xAs every man, and every woman, is born equal 
 in rights, and in duties, and in natural society, as they 
 lived in the first patriarchal societies, always calculated 
 by figures, making use of tallies the same ought to be 
 done in civil society with paper. 
 
 Art. 7. As every commanding society is governed, by 
 those managers, who have more figures in it, civil socie- 
 ty must be governed, by directors, appointed by those 
 citizens who will have more figures, in public wealth. 
 
 Art. 8. As every man, ond every woman, is born, 
 with the instinct of robbing other’s savings, all the laws 
 most tend, to the guarantee of the savings of the people, 
 against the snares of the laz) , who impose upon society. 
 
 Art. 9. As the earth laves, every day some savings, 
 to man, and •woman, there must be saving-banks in 
 every community, in every state, and in the world, 
 organized, in manner, that every cent may be given, or 
 taken by the saving, 
 
 - Art. 10. As every government is bound, to the expen- 
 ses, of society, the Saving-bank, will be organized, in 
 such manner, as to return, a cent, a day to the saving, 
 lending it, at, greater interest, to those who wish to 
 produce savings.

 ApPLIOATI’ON of this df.calogue to the actuality, 
 
 OF WAR, TO MAKE IT, BRING FORTH PEACE. 
 
 Q. Your decalogue founds the precept of livelihood, 
 vieioing among each other, the three capitals ; labour, 
 knowledge, and property, apply it now to policy, to ob- 
 tain peace. 
 
 A. Economists define every wealth, as accumulated 
 savings; then by organizing accumulated savings, wealth 
 must be found organized. Now the first, amongst every 
 wealth, is public credit, which nourishes the production 
 of every pri\ate wealth, and this public credit, is increa- 
 sed by peace, is strengthened, by public order, is nouri- 
 shed by industry, and disappears by war, or with revo- 
 lutions,, thence it was said that money makes all ; then 
 if money makes all, and the first all, is the livelihood of 
 mankind, the living personification of God, by organi- 
 zing money, the peace, of external, and internal coun- 
 tries, must be found secured. 
 
 Q,. Tell us now which ought to be the law of the 
 organization of pioney, for obtaining peace, and streng- 
 thening order? 
 
 A. The Government of France, and now that of Pied- 
 mont, and perhaps afterwards, that of Prussia, Austria, 
 Russia, occ. &c., have honoured with their plagiarism 
 the unhappy author of this reform, and of this figure, 
 but as Providence has disposed that all precepts can be 
 applied, to good, or to evil, revolution itself not being 
 excluded, the French, and Piemontese doctrinaires, have 
 made their loans, with these precepts which ought to 
 serve for peace, but who have destined them to war, 
 because the money is delivered to the Government, 
 
— 24 — 
 
 without the control of the managers, and therefore, with- 
 out the responsibility of the ministers. Let the English 
 Parliament, whilst making the statutes, for the reform 
 of the Savings-banks, conform itself to our decalogue of 
 the bank, and then we will have peace throughout the 
 exterior, and Europe will be neither Cossack, nor French 
 nor republican, nor comunist, but truly industrious, ac- 
 cording to the law of Creation, 
 
 Q. Suggest us the foundations of these statutes of the 
 reform of the Saving-bank, to give us peace for the ex- 
 terior, and public order for the interior. 
 
 A. When one is author of a precept, he has no right, 
 to pretend, that he be author of its actuations, because 
 one must respect all the acquired rights, under contrary 
 precepts, and the founder of mutuality said.— I came 
 not to dissolve law, but to fulfil it.— Therefore we shall 
 never acknowledge, a proud and ambitious tyrant, who 
 snys.—I am the State, I am France, I am the Empire... 
 But certainly that sovereign who will say — The empire 
 of law, is peace, and the law is this — you will mutually 
 do unto Others, what you would Others should do unto 
 you. — Now the first thing, that we would have, done 
 unto us, either as individuals, or as nations, is that of 
 having the best livelihood possible, therefore as liveli- 
 hood is obtained by money so we must mutually assist 
 one another with money, and every Government must 
 make His own statutes according to the present cir- 
 cumstances. And as the English Parliament is in the 
 best circumstances, to impose upon nations, the reform, 
 or the introduction of Saving-banks, we shall point out 
 the precepts, on which he ought to form his statutes, 
 which would be these, — 
 
-25 — 
 
 1. To open in every community, as has been done in 
 France and in Piedmont, a voluntary subscription, for 
 the loan of peace, for the exterior, and public order for 
 the interior. — 
 
 2. Subscriptions will be received, at the decimal figu- 
 res of 5, 50, 1 00, and 100, £ sterlings and their decimal 
 will be paid in the act of subscribtion, and the in deci- 
 mals of two months. — 
 
 S. A register in every Community, will note this loan, 
 in two categories, either nominative, or legislative, so 
 that every loaner, may remain in the faculty of passing 
 from one to the other. 
 
 4. The one per cent, of the elder subscribers in every 
 Community, will appoint a commission of the three el- 
 der loaners, to represent them near the general agency, 
 that is to be appointed by the communal agency. 
 
 5. The interest of the loan, will be fixed to a cent per 
 day, or else, at 3, and 65, per annum, for every 5 pounds 
 sterling, or else for every 100 shillings, which will run, 
 from the first day, of their first opening. 
 
 6. Rights will be preserved, for the lower classes, to 
 bring their savings at the communal bank, preserving 
 the use, of the small books, and to receive a title to 
 the bearer, when it will be raised to 100 shillings. 
 
 7. A general commission, of 300 of the elder subscri- 
 bers, of all the Communities, will appoint, as is done in 
 the India Company, the general direction composed of 
 10 directors. 
 
 8. Her Majesty, would appoint. Her delegate, to 
 preside; and as the Sovereign reigns, and does not go- 
 vern, the title of this delegate, would be either Lord 
 Lieutenant, or Visir. 
 
 3 
 
26 
 
 9. As soon as the general direction, is set up, the 
 latter will prevail of the immense influence, of the loan, 
 of peace, to cry, out to all doctrinaires ; low your arms- 
 and to all the illuded liberals, down your utliopies ! 
 
 10 This general direction of peace and of order, will 
 open in all the states of the East, and of the West, a 
 subscription equal, to that opened, in the Communities 
 6f England. — 
 
 11. The first operation, that is to be done, by the 
 London direction, is that of throwing into the bank of 
 Constantinople, the savings, of the West and of making 
 it the centre of the universal bank. ^ 
 
 12. A general commission of 1000, of the elder sub- 
 scribers of the States, of the West, and of the East, will 
 appoint the-general direction, which will be composed, 
 by as many directors, as many as are the states, that 
 have taken part, in the loan, and as many ambassadors, 
 appointed by Sovereigns, as is done in the Prussian- 
 German, Zollverein. 
 
 13. This general direction, appointed by 1000. Je- 
 wish managers, by Christian of all sects, and by Maho- 
 metans, will compose the Royal jSovereign, which - will 
 commence by granting, the most bountiful, general par- 
 don, and by patronizing that western emigration, which 
 now directs itself, to the United States, because there 
 it finds work. 
 
 \ 
 
 14. This Royal Sovereign, starting from the precept, 
 that the West, groans under the monopoly, of a false 
 science, and the East, under the monopoly of a fatal 
 ignorance, will low down this precept, of just centre 
 which is called, Mutuality, that is to say Protection. 
 
 45. As the East, threatened now, by the despotism 
 of Russia, France, and England, luckily, finds itself. 
 
— 27 
 
 withotit any public debts, but endowed with natural 
 riches, more then the West; the Royal Sovereign, 
 drawing from this, the savings, of 3, and 65 per. cent, 
 and, enjoying their interest, in the East, from 6 to 
 7 per cent, this benefice, onght to serve, to extinguish 
 the public debt of the West, enriching the East. 
 
 16. Having always, our worldly figure present, the 
 Royal Sovereign, must tend to render a practical fact, 
 this now celestial, and now infernal word. Liberty, 
 which She must reduce to. Mutuality, for which She 
 must work, to render a fact, democracy as a right a- 
 ristocracy as a fact, monarchy as a precept, society as 
 nature, communism as the idea, of the, One, Thrine, I, 
 who creates, who guides, who loves. 
 
 17. *The wheeling, of nearcut, common, and provincial 
 roads, the national^ and mundane rail-roads, the found- 
 ing first, then the industrious, afterwards the commer- 
 cial, and finally, the scientific, literaiy, and. artistic 
 credit ; the rights, and duties, by figures, policy, and 
 religion, submitted to economy, because first is born, 
 man, and after, the law of Cesar, and of God: behold 
 the natural, rational, and biblical aspiration, of Man 
 kind, the living personification of God ! 
 
 Reform of the Maltese Saving-Bank. 
 
 Q.. Could not, this reform be applied to the Maltese 
 Provident Saving hank ? 
 
 A. Since 1845, when the English Parliament was 
 discussing the bill of the author of this reform, after 
 having made in vain the greatest possible efforts to make 
 the ministers of all the states of the Continent, accept 
 
i”/ - 27 - 
 
 poor maltose people who pays binij unless the governors 
 and the principal secretary, justify their having sent, to 
 the ministers, this plan. For this trifle will he inscribed 
 on the infamous columns of the self styled progress the 
 names of the self-styled popular counsellors, of the 
 self-styled liberal journalists, of the self-styled scientific 
 patriots, of the self-styled Christian elergy, because their 
 silence is not justifiable. 
 
 Q. How ! do you also, include in this conspiracy the 
 clergy, which ought not to interfere with -worldly afiairs? 
 
 A. And what! does it not devour perhaps, the sweat- 
 earned savings of the people, to inform it rather of all 
 the art, and science of life? And what! is it not Christ, 
 who begins in His reform, with the Our where he 
 
 recommends, to pray for the daily bread, and who closes 
 it, before His dying on the Cross, leaving himself, to 
 the memory of the redeemed, under the form, of bread, 
 to remember to the proud theology, which makes large 
 bribes, that bread does not fall from heaven, but that it 
 comes from the earth? And what! do not these theolo- 
 gians know, that Christ was the first economist, who ac- 
 acknowledging that the origin of every wealth, derives 
 from the industry of money, rewarded the two servants, 
 W'ho redoubled the capital entrusted to them, by their 
 master, and punished the other, who had not taken, it, 
 at least, to the saving-bank. St. Matthew chap. XXV. 
 St Luke, chap. XIX. And what! was it not the Je- 
 suits, and the Jesuitants, who in 1847, when the author 
 dedicated his reform to Pius IX, who wished to make 
 the Italian, custom-house league, which means, the 
 protecting league, of the savings, of the Italian people 
 against the competition, of the similar, foreign products, 
 
 " X 
 
— 29 — 
 
 it, he came to Malta to have his plan of the reform of 
 the London-bank sent by this government, to the En- 
 glish Government, and to rouse its application to the 
 Provident Maltese^ Saving Bank that is distributed 
 by Government. But the einectires of the secretary’s 
 office, and the usurers, who lay under their power, the 
 sweat earned savings of the people, not only denied, 
 sending to the London Government, the above said 
 plan : but organized such a conspiracy, against its 
 author, as to make him pass, for a madman, as a 
 retrograde, as a partisan of tyrants, and still worse..., 
 and requested also the protection of thejesuitic clergy, 
 to make him pass, for a heretic, and purchased the 
 silence of the journals, and of the Scientijic Academy 
 not to have this reform discussed. 
 
 G. But now that there is a Popular council the 
 author, might have renewed his attempts to obtain the 
 discussion. 
 
 A. Wretched nations, who hope for prosperity, and 
 reforms from Councils, from Parliaments, from Acade- 
 mies, from journals, from the ministers of Cesar, and 
 of God! !! The author, who had attempted all the 
 means of discussion and of the publicity, nigh to the 
 absolute Government of Malta, in the year 1845, could 
 not find, a popular counsellor, who would charge him- 
 self, to present his plan, to the self styled. Popular 
 Council, in order to be admitted to the honour of the' 
 discussion, nor a journalist who would denounce to the 
 people this scandalous silence, nor an Academician, who 
 would have the conscience to reclaim the admission, 
 of the author to the honour of an affectionate, and 
 conscientious discussion while since his arrival to Malta, 
 he was appointed Academician. 
 
— 30 — 
 
 Q. But wHat would you, the Goverument to do to 
 reform his saving-hank, and render Malta, an earthly 
 Paradise, freeing her from the sinecures of the secretary’s 
 office, and from her, Jesuitical usurious despotical 
 retrograding attendants, enemies of the Queen, of God, 
 and of the People ? 
 
 A. The statute of the self-styled provident Saving- 
 hank, which is the land of delight, of the Secretary s 
 office, and of the two hanks, begins thus: art. 1, every 
 person can deposit, any sum, or sums, of money what- 
 ever, in the Provident Maltese Saving -Pank, from a 
 penny, to any amount whatever, either in his own name, 
 or in the name of another ; art. 2. when the money 
 deposited, in the name of any person, will amount to 
 iire shillings, the said person, will immediately enjoy 
 the profit of the two per cent per annum, or else the 
 sixth part of a cent per month, (when traders pay half 
 per cent, and proprietors do not find any at 1 per cent 
 per month !) and so far every additional sum, of five 
 shillings, till the whole, of the deposits, made within 
 the year, in the name of any person whatever, should 
 amount to 25 pounds, (that this malignant restriction, 
 ■may pass all the remaining pounds to the maltese, and 
 anglo maltese hank, and make illegal interest of the 
 savings of the people, at 6 per cent, per annum ! ! ! ) 
 
 Q. Which reform is asked for, to make the Provident 
 
 Saving-hank, serve for the prosperity of the maltese 
 people ? 
 
 A. It having heen said, in the first article, ‘That any 
 person whatever can put to the saving any sura 
 whatever,” instead of limiting in the second article, this 
 sum to ^5 pounds sterling, and allow the savers, the 
 
~ 31 — 
 
 miserable interest of % per cent, the author proposes 
 that it should be said thus: art. when the money de- 
 posited exceeds the wants of the city pawn-broker’s, de- 
 stined to deduct tho pledges ar 6 per cent; the remaining 
 will be destined to deduct the bills of husbandmen, 
 manufacturers, traders, and of every proprietor, who 
 can give a caution. Art. 3. The interest will be given, 
 to the savers, instead of 2 at 3 and 65 cents per hundred, 
 and the discounts at 6 per cent : and all the benefice 
 of the Provident Saving hank, will be destined, to sup- 
 press, all the taxes, imposed, on grain, oats, wine, oil, 
 meat, ecc. ecc. which are paid, by the maltese people. 
 Art. 4. A popular Council of 300 of the elder savers 
 which will be yearly found inscribed for the greater 
 quantity of savings, trusted to the Provident Bank, will 
 appoint a body - of directors, composed of 10 indivi- 
 duals, which will be presided by the Governor ; the 
 latter will administer the bank, and will make the sta- 
 tutes, which will be protested by the developement of 
 this reform, aud which will be effected after the appro- 
 val, of the popular Council, of the 300 elder savers. 
 
 Q. How! and for so trifling a thing, such war to so 
 peaceful a reformer, so disinterested, so attached to peace 
 and social order? 
 
 A. For so rifling a thing, three Governors, Stuart, 
 O’Ferrall, and Reid, will leave in the the History names 
 as celebrated, as that of Pilate, who washed his hands, 
 when he gave Christ, to the persecution of the Scribes, 
 and of the Pharisees. . .For this trifle, the principal Se- 
 cretary, who commands the Government, and the Coun- 
 cil, will leave to History the name of J udas, because he 
 betrays the august Sovereign, whom he serves, and the 
 
— 32 
 
 ■\vlio hindered, by means of the Italian censures the 
 manifest of association, to this reform’s being published, 
 and the honourable despatch of Pius the IX. which 
 would have given, at that time, 100 thousand subscribers 
 to the author, and spared the revolution of 1848 ? (1)

 Q. But if the present, English, ministry, to which 
 this European conflagration must be attributed, — would 
 not yield, to the loan of peace, w'ould we then neces- 
 sarily, have war, and revolution? 
 
 A. God has placed in the power of a man, who 
 unites himself, to another man, the possibility, of pea- 
 cefully changing, either in better, or in worse, human

 “Most illustrious Sir. 
 
 To, correspond to the desires shown me by your Most Illustrious Lordship 
 by the letter of the 23 J anuary, with which you sent me, the prospectus of 
 association of the economical — political — religious Hand — book, which you 
 propose, to publish, by the press. 1 took great concern to bring it down to 
 the Sovereign Throne, and have now the pleasure of assuring you, that the 
 Holy Father, has taken an exact knowledge of it. 
 
 In ray particularitv, I will then tell you, that I have admired in it, the 
 rectitude of your feelings, and the sound precepts, by which I see, that you

 society, and by this power, legislators, punish, as coil-“ 
 spirators, two men who associate to change the forms 
 of Government. But when, these two men, knowhow 
 to associate with each other, liot to change Government 
 but to put it in the right path, then there is neither 
 law, nor human force that can hinder a reform, as 
 proves it, to us, the Nazarene, who associating, with 
 twelve ignorant fishermen, reformed, without, trangres-^ 
 sing the society degraded, by policy, and by science. 
 
 Q. And what should now, these twelve apostoles 
 do to reform, policy and the Christian science, much , 
 more degraded than that of the Pagans ? 
 
 A. Break, this devilish conspiracy of silence, against 
 the reform of the organisation, of money, which from 
 1833, has been spread abroad by the author of this 
 catechism, translating it, in all languages, as a philan- 
 trophist society of London, has done with the Holy 
 Bible, and inundate with it, the West, and the East : ^ 
 
 and then all the Jews, the orthodoxes, and the Mahome- 
 tans, will snatch from the hands of the ambitious diplo- 
 macy, their savings, to bring them, to the general bank 
 of Constantinople. Then, this represented by 1000 of 
 the elder, Jewish, Turkish, and Christian managers, 
 among which, the catholic, apostolic, Romans, will 
 always be the least number, wdll take the place of the 
 diplomacy, tuning to it its ultimatum, of the powerful 
 Government of figures, over the diabolical, and satanic 
 one of opinions. 
 
 Q. But who, would now pay, the expenses, of so 
 many billions, consumed, in preparations for war, and 
 pf so many others, lost in the trading of the public 
 funds, and of so many honourable houses in decay ? 
 
 ft 
 
34 
 
 A. All the preparations for war, will be changed, 
 into capitals of peace, as the true politicians, and the 
 learnedinen, from Isaiah, down to Fourier, have prophe- 
 sied : the cannons will be changed, in ploughs, and in- 
 dustrious machines; the ships will be destined, to carry 
 in Africa, Asia and America, those emigrants, who avoid 
 the european soil, the soldiers, will be restored, to their 
 betrothed; the officers, will be charged to govern the 
 new colo<nies; and the engineers, who were to direct, the 
 destruction of the secular wealth, accumulated at the 
 price of the sweat-earned savings of the nations, will di- 
 tect, the works of industry, which ought to make of the 
 world, an earthly Paradise, and which ought to convince 
 all the ambitious Antichrists that Europe instead of 
 being, Cossack, republican, and now Napoleoiiic..., will 
 be industrious, and nothing else, but Industrious ! Then 
 the new wealth, and the instantaneous axmmentation of 
 
 O 
 
 lOO billions, of public funds, will reward the expenses, 
 of the arming. 
 
 Q. Cite us now some prophet, who speaks of the 
 triumph, of ijidustry. 
 
 A. Apart from all the Holy Bible, which makes sin 
 consist in the pride of the science, which was to be 
 imposed on art; apart, that a.ll the Creation, announces 
 in God the Great Industrious, apart, that the Gospel 
 be the code, of the industrious association, founded on 
 the holy mutuality of man, towards man; we conclude 
 this catechism, with the most categorical, the most con- 
 soling, and the most explicit words of the prophets, 
 which extol socialism in which the Jews, as particularly 
 endowed with the genius of figures, will be, the prin- 
 cipal managers. 
 
— 35 
 
 The povver of women, tn the social refoiim 
 
 Q. Tell us something of the power of women in 
 the loan of peace. 
 
 A. When the countiy was threatened, the Roman, 
 women, saved it hy the sacrifice, of all their, jewels. 
 From this see, that it is always gold, which makes 
 peace, and war; and jewels are | very pleasing, to the 
 soldieis of the West, as well as those of the East. ..The 
 loan of peace, being then set up, the Eastern, and 
 Western women, will he able to pledge their jewels, at 
 the city pawn-brkoer's to receive from it some -shares, 
 and deliver their country,, from the danger, of losing, 
 their husbands, their betrothed, their children, and their 
 brothers, in the factions, of the war, of the Cossacks, in 
 the East, or of the barricades, of the hungry, in the 
 West; or finally, to be besieged, in the name of Cesar 
 of God, and of the people, as it happens, in all the wars, 
 and in all the revolutions. 
 
 Q.. Would women, gain something else, in your plan, 
 founded all upon figures ? 
 
 A. The Government of figures, secures bread to all, 
 and when bread is secured, dove is sought for, and when 
 bread and love are secured, then alone, can domestic 
 peace, and religious morality be hoped for. Adam, as 
 you see in the figure, is the number 1., creator in the 
 summit, and creator in the basis of the social pyramid, 
 and when God, personified Himself, in this first One,; 
 he made him, man and woman, and as if they were two 
 creatures, he said to them, in plural, -increase, multi- 
 ply, fill the earth, and submit it to this number I, male 
 and female. God, drew Eve, from, Adam, and then. 
 
36 — 
 
 the male figure, said to the female figure, now thou 
 bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh, we will mahe 
 two figures souls, in one only figure 
 
 Q. And what do you deduce, from these first words, 
 of the first husband, to the first wife, father, and mo- 
 ther, of all the figures of mankind? 
 
 A. We deduce, this natural, rational, and biblical 
 consequence that God, having created everything by 
 numbers, weights, and measures; that the figures ruling 
 the world; that a livelihood, is obtained by figures, 
 that figures being masculine, and feminine, women 
 ought to represent, in the society of the community, of 
 the state, and of the world, their figures. And as 
 Avealth, is produced, by two powers, one physical, and 
 the other moral, which is called, civility, and religion, 
 women as endowed, with less physical power, leaving to 
 the latter, the works for which, much material strength 
 is required, must therefore, take part, in the govern- 
 ment, of moral things. 
 
 Q. But as a woman, must be united, to a masculine 
 figure, to represent in society, her feminine figure, how 
 will women do, to procure it ? 
 
 A. All riches, coine from the earth; all riches, are 
 composed, of accumulated savings; all the earth may be 
 disposed to an earthly Paradise, by the work of the arms 
 and by ability; to have arms and abilities, marriage is 
 needed ; to multiply marriages, savings must be multi- 
 plied ; and the immoral celibacy, in the church, and in 
 the state, that is to say the soldiers, of Cesar, and God, 
 must be suppressed: then let mothers, and marriageable 
 daughters study, the Sovereign Bancocracy, and the 
 grand social hook of mankind, and let them begin, to

 spread abroad, the reform of tbe Saving-bank, and to 
 bring to it, their, savings, that the need of making them 
 mothers may be felt, and the necessity of suppressing 
 the forced celibacy of the clergymen, and the voluntary 
 fratricide of military men, to make them ■wives, may be 
 felt. Then the ’women of the West, cooperating, by their 
 savings, to put a peaceful end, to the strife of the East, 
 will be the first to bring in the mussulman institutions, 
 those reforms, which make the glory of true Christians, 
 delivering their fellow sisters, from that slavery, of the 
 fair sex, which was introduced by Mahomet, in his 
 Koran, to deliver the East, of the scandalous intrigues, 
 of the false Christians of the West, in which, women 
 took great part. 
 
 Conclusion 
 
 Q. What do pretend now, by this catechism. 
 
 A. To profit, of the terrible position, in which, the 
 West, finds itself, and above all England, to make Her 
 actuate, this reform, as the only means, of preserving, 
 Her political preponderance, of avoiding the terrible, 
 crisis, by which She is threatened, on account of the 
 increasing discount of Her public funds, of avoiding 
 the terrible option, of seeing the Russians, or the 
 French, dispute wtth each other, the possession of Con- 
 stantinople, (and we know not which would be more to 
 fear....) finally of preserving a peace, which had made 
 the West, make so much material progress, in 40 years 
 than, it had done, in 40 centuries; of sparing to her 
 finally, the shame, and the curse of mankind, hitherto 
 betrayed by her commercial policy, to which, She would 
 *4 
 
38 — 
 
 be obliged to have recourse, as she has done, in 18h2, 
 " and in 1848, to save Herself, from, bankruptcy, always 
 betray ing, the nations, who were so stupid, as to believe 
 '- ‘Her ministers 
 
 Q. But do you think England alone can give peace, 
 
 to the world, w^hen your plan, is already, fulfilled, in 
 
 France, and now in Piedmont, and in short, in Prussia, 
 “ fn Austria, and perhaps Russia itself wall adopt it ? 
 
 'V^ A. We repeat that every precept, may produce, as 
 '"much evil, as it would have produced good, if it be 
 actuated wdthout that intellectual, gesuitical restriction 
 
 ■ f arriere pensee) by which it has begun to be actuated. 
 “"‘The manner, in Avhich the popular loan, has been, exe- 
 cuted in France, and how it is, now executed in Pied- 
 mont is the most devilish, because it inoculates the cor- 
 ruption of the exchange, of the capital in provinces, 
 w'hich wall be sacrificed by the exchangers of the ca- 
 
 ..pital, with the used cabal, of the invented neAvs, noAv by 
 
 ■ the discounters, and noAv by the increasers. The plAn 
 of extinction, Avhich forms the land of delight of govern- 
 
 '^unent, to take money as much as he wishes, to nourish, 
 spying aud corruption, has been preserved. More, the 
 control, of the 800 managers, to whom it is interesting 
 ; that the loan should be destined for the service of the 
 nation, and not of ministrial despotism, has been taken 
 off. Finally, the precept of democracy, has not been 
 . respected, because, the saver, who could buy a cent 
 per day, of rent, is not admitted, but those who can buy 
 
 'E . ■ t" 
 
 3 cents or else, 10 francs, per annum, AA'hile Ave make 
 democracy consist in the 3 and 65 per annum. And the 
 - best proof, that the loan, did not succeed as popular, as 
 the Government, AA'ished, is seen, by the miserable num- 
 
39 
 
 ber of 9S thousand managers, of whom, two thirds be- 
 long to the capital, while England, with a third less of 
 inhabitants, has on the Great Book, a million, and a 
 half, of managers* — 
 
 Q. Do you think that England will give more sub'^ 
 scribers, than France ever had ? 
 
 A. England has near to 4 billions, in the Saving, 
 banks and Insurance-Offices, she has, perhaps more 
 than 4 other billions, on the Great Book of the States, 
 of the continent, and She has, Her rent dedicated at 3 
 per cent, while that of France, dedicated at 4 and a | 
 per cent, is just as worth as the English 3 per cent 
 Therefore a popular loan, being set up, to transplant 
 the credit and industry of the West, into the East, all 
 the proprietors, and proletarians, will find, better inte- 
 rest, in taking shares, in the popular loan, than in buy- 
 ing, their own 3 per cent, when they can place their 
 capital, and their savings, at 3, and 65 per hundred. 
 Then the natural and logical consequence is this ; that, 
 sending all the capitalists, and savers of the West, and 
 of the East, to take shai’es, in the loan of peace, the 
 majority of shares will be English, and therefore the 
 Council of the worldly bank of Constantinople, will be 
 influenced by the English majority, and so England 
 will recover, that power which She might lose by the 
 political French alliance, and which She ought to 
 change, in industrious alliance, to which She will not 
 only withdraw, the French nation, but all the West, 
 Russia itself, not beingexcluded. Then that Anglo - 
 wordly Zollverein, of which the plan is stated, would 
 be seen postured.

 Natural, rational, and biblical prophecy. 
 
 Q. Do youthen, truly believe, in the possibility of a 
 general peace by means of an Anglo-wordly loan ? 
 
 A. Nature tells us, that union makes power, reason 
 proves us, that the greater union is, so much the more 
 is power unconquerable ; finally, revelation comniands 
 us, universal mutuality, because in this religion consists. 
 Then the tyranny, of the sinecures, the absurdity, of 
 of the scientific-men, the hypocrisy, of the clergymen, 
 will vanish away, from this leonine society, when the 
 general association; will absorbe, all the partial so- 
 cieties of minority, which are laid under power, to keep 
 the majority separated. And for the same reason that 
 the industrious association of this minority, has given 
 40 years of peace, and has covered Europe, with so much 
 wealth, that now a day it is worth 100 billions of francs 
 represented by Her public funds, the industrious asso- 
 ciation of the whole, of the nations, of all this Europe, 
 carrying their capital in money, in arms, and in abilities 
 must give you, the general peace, and a material, and mo- 
 ral progress for the reason, composed of how much, the 
 industrious association of the minority has hitherto given 
 you. Then uthiopy consists, in the monopoly or in the 
 competition of the minority, which is imposed on mu- 
 tuality and this uthiopy has from Cain, to us, made the 
 power of nations arise, and expire, because monopolized 
 mankind, has studied the art, and the science, of its 
 monopolists, and this precept which has constituted 
 the first fault has made its course from the utmost 
 East to the utmost West. Then this same natural 
 course, of mankind, tells us that there is one nature.

 one reason, one religion, and therefore peace stands in. 
 the forms of an universal monopoly, which might esta- 
 blish industry in the families, in the states, in the 
 v/orld, above all the individual competitions, of man- 
 kind. This is the plan of creation ; which after 
 twenty years, passed in the industrious agiotage, we 
 have reduced, to the most simple figure, which now 
 Waits for the protection, of all those who wish for the 
 preservation of peace in England and in the assurance of 
 livelihoods, of families, and of properties throughout 
 all the olden Europe. And all this for the power, of 
 the Cent, for the reason, of the Cents, for the religion 
 of the Cents. -So be it ! •

 A POPULAR CATECHISM 
 
 Recommended to the august and Royal Princes, who

 by means of His Lordship, the minister of 
 His Majesty of Prussia, in Naples.

 Most excellent Sir. 
 
 In from Paris, and in 1842 from Marseilles, 
 I consigned, by means of His Excellency the Earl oj 
 Arnim., then ambassador of Prussia, at Paris same ivorks 
 and journals of 7nine, to the Government of His Majesty 
 your Royal Monarch, which aimed at that social per- 
 fecting of the Zollverein, which would have jn-evented, 
 the fatal bill, of the commercial liberty of the English 
 Parliament, to which the revolution of 1848, must be 
 attributed. 
 
 I'.ut as flattering as were the despatches, with ivhich 
 1 was assured “ that the Government of His Majesty, 
 would have kept, as as treasure my economical-social 
 ideas'" so much greater, were the intrigues, of the grand 
 parasites of the throne, of the altar, and of manhind, to 
 cause the honour, of a, kind, and conscientious discussion's, 
 being denied to me as they had caused it to be den'ed at 
 Paris, which I supposed to be the true Athenceum of 
 the world, and which I found to be the true Babel, of the 
 extolled, social science. 
 
46 
 
 Nor did the German press, show itself, kinder, or more 
 vonscieniious , when, a certain Mr Moohr, began to pub- 
 lish in the German language, niy first opusculum, pub- 
 lished in French, at Paris which I entitled, the Banco- 
 cracy, or the Grand Social hook, which was published in 
 1841, at Lipsia: and this silence proved to me, how badly 
 are the hopes, of princes, and of their subjects founded, 
 so as to expect the perfecting , of the economical-social 
 institutions, from science I supposed I should be luckier 
 in 1843 ivhen the pope, more economist, than have shoivn 
 themselves, the self-styled, French and German, scientific 
 men, invited the Italian- Custom-house league, which, fa- 
 tally, did not meet loilh the simpathy of the Cabinets, oj 
 Paris, and of Vienna, who wishing to avoid the displea- 
 sure, of the English Cabinet, who had to sustain, the new 
 hill, of commercial trade, thwarted the conclusion, of the 
 Italian- Custom-house league. For such contradiction, 
 my hand-book, of an Italic ivorldly Custom-house, league, 
 of which Y. E. will find here enclosed, a printed pro- 
 spectus, could not be brought to Malta, before the re-- 
 r.olution, because its association was prevented in Italy, 
 and I could not print it after the revolution, because the'-^ 
 Italians, ivould make Pius IX the, chief, of a political '■ 
 league, and I remained in the opinion of the exalted li- 
 berals, as one of their enemies, for not having been par- 
 tial, to their political crusade! 
 
 Order being constituted, the new Austrian Cabinet, 
 has recognized the injury, of the otd cabinet's having 
 thwarted, the Italian Custom, house league, and. in his 
 high tvisdom has made it the axis, of his new pratec- 
 tional policy, hasting to associate, all the materiel in- 
 terests, af his large dominions different in constitutions 
 nationalities, languages, and religion, and succeeded, in 
 his custom house Congress' at Vienna, in concluding in 
 a month, an international Zollverein, ivhich cost so 
 many years, of truly glorious memory to the Govern- 
 ment of His Majesty Frederic III. 
 
 But Y. L. knotvs better than I do, all the efforts hi- 
 
4-7 - 
 
 therto made hy the anti-protecting ^ aoinel to 
 
 thwart Austria's entering into the Prussic-German Zoll- 
 verein, and knotos how hitherto this association of the 
 two Zolkereins, has been secretly disputed in the confe- 
 rences of Olmntz, of Dresden, and of Frankfort, and 
 knows now the efforts, that the English, anti-protecting 
 party, is making to dissolve the Parliament, in order to 
 obtain a House of Commons, more pronouncing in favo"ur 
 of the anti'protecting plan, and to recall to power a 
 more revolutionary Cabinet, than Lord-Russeil s: nor 
 would it be intpossible our seeing Eord Palmerston , or 
 Mr Gladstone as first minister (\) 
 
 How the circular of the Qth March, of the Most Ex- 
 cellent President of the Council of Mhiisters, the narnm 
 de Manteuffel directed to all the associated Governments 
 in the Prussic ■ Gemnan Zollverein, makes me hope, that I 
 could make the Royal Majesty, of the August Monarch 
 Frederic IV. the chief of this cjread, protecting , associa- 
 tion, accept the depelopement of ony economical social 
 theory, hitherto thwarted by the great parasites, who 
 live, and enrich themselves, by the plan, oj monopoly, 
 and competition , ivho tremble, at this evangelical-human 
 word, protection. Rut my declining age, and the 
 absolute want of means of carrying myself at the foo t of 
 the above praised Majesty, advise me to beg 1 . E. that 
 you may deign to place in the hands oj the Most Excel- 
 lent President of the Council of ministers, my enclosed 
 manuscript , to consign it on my part, to the August Mo- 
 narch, tvho, I am certain will give orders, for its being 
 honoured with a kind and conscientious, discussion in 
 the Congress, already opened by this time at Berlin, cal- 
 led to pronounce on the renewing and perfecting of the 
 social act, of the Prussic-German Zollverein. 
 
 ( 1 ) Note that this address was written after the fatal 2nd Dicemher 1852 
 when Lord Russel, caused Lord Palmerston to ritire, in order to give sa- 
 tisfaction, to the hero of the 2r,d Dicemher. .. .The return then of Lord 
 Palmerston and of Mr. Gladstone to the ministry, proves that the author 
 of this address, is somewhat a prophet ....,!

 And as I do not think it possible any more of seeing 
 the Pope^ at the head of an Italian custom house league, 
 but on the contrary I see with great satisfaction, that the 
 new Austrian Government' s prevoyance, has made the 
 treatises with the postal, teleg raphical , league, and with 
 the Italian railroads easy, I hope that Y. E. will obtain 
 for me irom the Royal Monarch, the honour, of printing , 
 under his protection, that Hand-book, which could not, 
 nor can any more, be brought to light, under the protec- 
 tion, of the Supreme Pontiff. 
 
 I have taken the liberty of adopting for this sketch of 
 mine, the forms of a popular Catechism, because, u7ifor^ 
 tunately, the thing which is less knoivn by the European 
 people, and more than any one else, by the French, is the 
 grand social act of the Zollverein, the truly peaceful tran- 
 slation of Napoleons continental plan ! 
 
 I take Most Excellent Sir, the present occasion, to 
 ivish you, every possible blessing from heaven, 
 
 Palermo the \oth of April 1852. 
 
 Your most humble servant 
 B. CoRVAJA, Sicilian [1]. 
 
 [1] This address and this catechism were first presented to the Consuls 
 of Prussia, and of Austria, residing in Palermo, who said they could not 
 send them, to their ambasadors. It was then presented, to the minister of 
 Prussia, in Naples, who answered, that he could not send it to Berlin. By 
 these refusals, let true liberals learn, that the social struggle, must not be 
 engaged between the sovereigns, and the people, but between the people, 
 and the ministers, because the Infallible One said; Iniinici hominis dome-

 Description of the Prussic German ^olherein. 
 
 . By this composed word, which signifies custom-liouh 
 ussociation, is meant the grand institution of a bilate- 
 ral contract betw^een the Prussian Government, and 
 almost all the Governments of Germany, by the power 
 of which the various internal custom-houses, of every 
 State were suppressed, and those of the Frontier-Sta- 
 ties, either of sea, or of' land, were organized ; Pro- 
 tecting rights were fixed to favour indistinctly, all the 
 agricultural, manufacturing, commercial, and scientific 
 industries, against the internal monopoly, and against 
 foreign competition; the free coining, or trusting change, 
 was protected by the unity of money ; the internal 
 pirculation was protected by the unity of weights,, and 
 measures; the industry of the mind, was protected 
 against the internal monopoly, and against the foreign 
 competition, by the protection for thirty years, of the 
 literary property, which embraces also the artistic onej 
 the problem of the commercial balance, remained 
 hitherto undissolved by the self-styled economical 
 science, was dissolved- among the associated States ; the 
 fundamen tal stone of the true social reform, w’as thrown, 
 leaning the political interests of the associated Gover- 
 nments, on the material interests of their subjects:^

 finally that mortal stroke to the trading power of En- 
 gland, who found herself obliged, in 1843, to abolish 
 the plan of monopoly, and to turn to the other end of 
 competition, was given ; and finally, the revolution, of 
 1848 was prepared because free competition, an uthiopy, 
 still more fatal than monopoly, illuded the English 
 people of the continent, and gave occasion to the de- 
 magogues, of revolting, all the social order, on the 
 continent. 
 
 II.

 The weakness of the actual Zolherein, in coding 
 with the English competition. 
 
 Since, the Zollverein was founded, the English 
 people, the only one yet, who has understood the om- 
 nipotence, of the magic of credit, laid before the theory 
 of free competition, and has formed the' League to 
 overturn the plan of monopoly: and after nine years of 
 propagation, the taxing, prohibitory, plan, which had 
 enriched the territorial aristocracy, and the agricultural 
 class, but which did not cure the sores, of the manu- 
 facturing, and commercial classes, was overthrown. 
 England never suffered, a more disastrous crisis than 
 that produced, by the fatal hill of free competition, 
 which would have led her, to a general bankruptcy, if 
 she had not had recourse, to those secret means, which 
 are forbidden by morals, but which are justified by 
 policy.... The project, of the Italian custom-house 
 league, oppressed by far the English commercial crisis, 
 and the auster-French continental policy, not to di- 
 splease the English Cabinet, thwarted this league, 
 
~ 51 - 
 
 which gave the Pope so much the more credit, as the 
 more thwarted, it saw him. The English credit, raised 
 itself as much as it was depressed on the continent, and 
 the frightened capital, ran to England, and saved her 
 from bankruptcy. 
 
 But the question has lemained the same, and the plan 
 of protection, is only begun, to be spoken of, as a tran- 
 saction between industry, and property. This protect- 
 ing policy, might give to Europe, the much wished: for 
 social reform, but the protecting English party, is too 
 weak, against the European, anti -protecting party, and 
 the Prussic-German Zollverein, does not yet possess a > 
 continental, plan, nor an association, which can answer^ 
 the aspirations of the true, economical-civil-religious 
 science. 
 
 III. 
 
 Theory of the plun of protection. 
 
 - > 
 
 The founding aristocracy, and the agricultural indus- 
 try of England, now deprived of the advantages, of the 
 prohibitory plan, limits, itself to reclaim, a protecting 
 plan, because experience, has undeceived the English 
 people, in the boasted panacea, of free competition. But 
 deniagogagy, and the lalse social science, would bring 
 back, to power, the party of the anti-protectionists, if 
 the friends, of order, of property, of family, and of civil 
 and religious morality, will not put in contradiction of 
 their own precepts, both demagogues, and socialists. 
 
 This triumph depends, on those political men, who 
 hold in their hands, the destinies, ol the throne, of the .

 altar, and of mankind, who would protect the English 
 protecting party, to make it enter the worldly Zollverein 
 But to obtain this triumph, policy must begin to protect 
 the protecting theory, which answers the aspirations, of 
 true socialism, and it is this : Divine Providence makes 
 His children live on the savings which they know howto 
 procure themselves, with an industry whatever, because ’ 
 if the capital W'ere to be consumed, mankind would de- 
 cline, even to distruction. These savings are changed^ 
 for wealth, which is destined to new industries. To. 
 ensure the interest, of this wealth, which science, calls 
 accumulated savings Government, takes from it a por~." 
 tion, which he destines to cause thine, and mine to be . 
 respected, sp. that it might not be waylaid by parasites. 
 Then a perfect Government is that which teaches best, 
 his governed, to obtain by their industries more savings; 
 which takes away for the expenses, the lesser quantity, 
 of these savings ; and which leaves less opportunity to 
 parasites, to live, and enrich themselves, on the savings, 
 of his governed

 Basis of the reform, of the present Prussic-German 
 
 Zollverein. 
 
 The precept being admitted, that all mankind is one 
 family, which is divided, in three classes, who live on 
 the savingsy of property, of ability, and of manual la- 
 hour; the precept being admitted, that one does not 
 live on the capital, but on the savings, represented, by r 
 an universal merchandise, which is called money; . the 
 want of .this universal merchandise, indispensable to any ..

 industry being recognized by all nations; the iisefulnes 
 of the trusLing paper-inoney, which renders it, cosmo- 
 polite, and more adapted to the speed of all transactions, 
 being proved by experience ; the Government, who 
 allows some favourite subjects, to lay out in his stead, 
 trusted money, or who allows other parasites, to live on 
 the usury, of the savings of proprietors, of industiious 
 men, aud of proletarians, conamits the high treason of 
 causing himself, to be deprived, of the first, and most 
 sacred right, of sovereignty, which is that of the coining 
 in money, the paper destined to run, as eifective money 
 In fact a ream of paper, of the value, of two florins, 
 being reduced, into back-notes, in bills of exchange, or in 
 orders, ecc, ecc, amounts at the value, of many millions 
 which receive, an interest as effective money, when 
 they are left, to those who ask for money, at the privi- 
 iedsred bank, or at the usurer’ s. Then the Zollverein, 
 ought to deliver of this disaster, first, Europe, and then 
 mankind, proclaiming, the following precept. — The in- 
 dispensable want of trusting paper-money both to the 
 interior, as well as the exterior, being admitted ; it be- 
 ing admitted, that the trust in this ])aper, is impressed 
 on it, by the public order, maintained at the expenses, 
 of all the public, this trusting power, called, public 
 credit is declared, to be the sacred, and inviolable pro- 
 perty of the public, and will be incorporated, as that, 
 of the right, of coining metallic money, on the public 
 right of the Crov/n,

 his false faith, he has already changed, his physical, or 
 moral Position. 
 
 , Society, which lives, on its own savings, was placed 
 on the wrong way, by its parasites, who find, that the 
 best industry is that, of the blessed doing nothing, and 
 of living on the usury, on the agiotage, and on the , 
 rent of the State, or of industrious shares. And these . 
 parasites, become more powerful than sovereignty, the 
 first thing, that they have tuned to it, is this; do uot . 
 impose upon rent! If now this society, would say, to . 
 these parasites, “ Let rent alone he imposed on as the 
 representation, of all the savings, of property, of abi- 
 lity, and of labour,” society would be found in that - 
 same power, in which its parasites, are now found. . 
 And if money, as the representation, of human pas- 
 sions, makes, and destroys everything, when society ^ 
 will have gof hold of all disposing savings, it must* 
 be found, in the power of making, all that it could 
 not make, and of destroying all that, vv^hich it should; 
 not have done. . Then the Royal Princes, of the Zoll- 
 verein, would have nothing else to do, but to pro- - 
 claim, the following law: “ All the savings, of the 
 
 citizens, will be received, in the Sovereign-bank, to be 
 capitalized, on all the internal, aud external industries 
 at the rate of a centime of rent, per day, for every 
 
65 — 
 
 1(X) of capital, and the first of the industries, will be 
 to destine all the daily savings, to the convertion of 
 the old public debt, from 5, to S and 65 per 100; and 
 this being changed, all the daily sayings, will be de- 
 stined to deduct the bills of exchange, of all those, 
 who can give a guai*antee, and to bestow all the works 
 of utility, both to the interior, as well as the exterior, 
 The benefit, or the Sovereign-bank, will be destined to 
 the of the State. >

 The wheeling part of this theory ^ applied to the 
 
 Zollverein. 
 
 Providence, in his mysterious, cosmographical, plan ' 
 has disposed that mankind may live, on its savings, and 
 in his human solicitude has disposed, that nature, may ’ 
 give, so much the more, as her children know how to 
 organize their savings,. , Because xce believe. in earth, we 
 trust to if our savings, which it restores to us, mnlti- 
 plied, by agriculture, by indust<’y, and by trade; and 
 because we aspire, to that material, and moral beauty, 
 which we suppose in science we trust our savings, to 
 instruction, which it restores us, multiplied by the 
 exercise of physical, and moral sciences, and by fine 
 arts. The essential condition however, of human 
 happiness, consists in the usury of this belief for as soon 
 as we abuse it. Providence punishes us, by making 
 those savings, which we hoped to find in the industry ' 
 of the earth, or of science, decrease. This is precisely 
 the social condition of mankind, of having fallen, that, 
 is to say, in a fatal superstition, which makes it believe 
 more than the' earth and sgience can give. Millions, ; 
 
— 56 — 
 
 ©f parasites, bankers, sharers, fortune-hunters, ecc, ecc,' 
 make one believe in a paper fictitious money, whose 
 equivalent capital, does not exist, and in an absurd 
 science, which tends to destroy the fiction of the capital, 
 without creating another efficient capital, that may de^ 
 stroy fictions. Then the wheel, of the Sovereign-Bank, 
 must be this; “ To take dally, with one hand, the me- 
 tallic savings, of gold, of silver, and of copper, and to 
 change them, with the other into many titles of daily , 
 rents, which may be equal to the numeral, and to de- 
 stroy by the proposed change, all the trusting values, 
 put in circulation, either by the treasury, or by the 
 bank, or by industrious societies, in manner, that the 
 savers may be mathematically sure of their own rent, 
 and may daily dispose, at their own will, of the capital 
 either of the interior, or of the exterior.” 
 
 VII. 
 
 The great hook, and the Royal-hank of Sicily, may 
 serve as a model, for the aliitude of this theory (1) 
 
 Stating, from the providential fact, that we all live : 
 on our or on other’s savings, which are changed for 
 something, or for some service of our's, and that Go- 
 vernment must be vigilant, in not making one believe, 
 things which are not, and in services, which we cannot . 
 render, then we present to the Royal Princes, of the 
 Zollvereiii, the great book, and the Royal-bank of Si- , 
 cily, as a model of our theory, and of the wheel, which 
 
 ) 
 
 (1). The author since 1833 has laboured to posture this refonu, 
 in his own country, but the ministers, would not allow him, the honour 
 of the discussion: and in 1834, after having been called from France, by ' 
 the same Monarch, he was after a few -months, banished to Malta, . -,1 
 
we reclaim, as many times as' the coniiicions of collect- 
 ing the savings of all the people, will be applied to 
 them. The certificates of the Sicilian rent, are at the 
 present, either nominative at one’s own wish, or with 
 the faculty of going alternately, from one categorv, to 
 the other; but this immense advantage, excludes the 
 capitalists, who cannot buy, either 2a or 50, or 100 
 ducats of rent, because from 1 to 24 ducats, the rent 
 is . valiantly nominative. This clause produces, the 
 irregularity, of excluding, that part of the people 
 which might place, its savings on the great book, for ; 
 the expenses that are to be paid, and the models, that' 
 are to be undergone for the acquisition of the nomina^ 
 tive rent, take away from the people the conveniency 
 of placing its savings on the great book. As much 
 befalls the royal-bank, which lays out so many trusts in 
 credit, which are equivalent to the German, English, 
 and French bank-notes, ecc, but which are pui’ely wo- 
 and which circulate, with the written indor- 
 sation. This clause denotes the exclusion, of the peo- 
 ple who know not how to write, and who live far 
 from the seat of the Bank. Then as soon as the great- 
 book, and the Royal-Bank, would leave, some certifi- 
 cates to the bearer, from a ducat, above, and also some •, 
 trusts in credit to the bearer, all the people would be 
 associated to the monarch who would have all the 
 sayings in His Royal Bank.

 Ths equality of the citizens before the financier laws 
 can alone dissolce all the social questions of 
 mankind. 
 
 The providential precept being recognized, that we 
 all live, on our, or on others saving’s,, and the duty of 
 warranting them against the parasites of society, being 
 recognized in Government, then social science instead 
 of spreading abroad, the theory, of the organisation of 
 savings, because Government cannot make his subjects 
 live, if he cannot daily dispose of all the savings. Then 
 the true social theory ought to be placed in these terms; 
 the right to the saving as the producer of every wealth. 
 Then Government would answer to the proletarians, 
 who wish for work: the duty of every citizen, to re- 
 spect, other s savings, in order to reclaim his own labour. 
 
 ^ Then the curse, that property is a robbery, would make 
 the proletarian, become the owner of a rent, according 
 to his ability, or according, to his skill, in labour. Then 
 those who would have accumulated more savings, would 
 algebraically represent, those who would have accumu- 
 lated less; and politic society, actually leonine, because 
 governed by parasites, would then become, economical, 
 and bilateral, governed by shares as are now the present 
 industrious sof’ieties. Then that egotism, which ren- 
 ders mankind individual, would render it eminently 
 socialist, to draw from property from ability, and- 
 from the arms, the greatest savings possible; and behold 
 then postured that human providence, which would 
 correspond with the Divine Providence, who nouri- 
 shes all, except those children of his, who cannot, or 
 will not save ! 
 
59 
 
 IX. 
 
 The organisation of savings, can alone give the 
 world, ‘peace, order, and civil and religious 
 ‘niorality. 
 
 The coarse of the self styled public funds, which 
 actually are the mysterious property, of a few parasites 
 of society highly proves the want, of truly making 
 them the sacred and inviolable property of the public 
 for at every f»ar of war, and of revolution, we see this 
 Industrious property deprized, of the 10, the 20, the 50 
 the 100. We do not see however the same befall in 
 England, where the saving-banks, the life -insurance- 
 offices, the India Company, and thousand, and thousand 
 of industrious societies, keep the majority, of the nation, 
 associated, to the political interests of their Crown. But 
 if this being bound each for all, of the interests, makes 
 the English industry, which has by the wantonness of 
 the bank, formed so many fictitious capitals, struggle, 
 against all the fictitious capitals, of all the continental 
 Europe. Then its commercial policy obliges the English 
 Government to war, as it happened in the peace of 
 Amiens, or as he has cured his crises, by the revolutions 
 
 of 1820, 1830 and 1848! Woe to the continental 
 
 policy, that would stick to other expedient, except that 
 of the reform, of the bank ! This alone, protecting the 
 property, the ability, and the labour of the English 
 people, may oblige it to renounce to the sophism of 
 commercial liberty. To re-enforce the protecting English 
 party, by founding, a protecting contiriental league, it 
 must constitute the basis of the present, Prussic-German 
 Zollverein, by founding a great book, and an universal 
 bank, wffiich may be, the saving- bank, of the property^ 
 of the ability, and of the labour, of all the world.

 The hash of a bank, of a great hook, and of an econo- 
 mical civil-moral association of all the continental 
 States with England. 
 
 The protecting plan, of all the continental States, 
 must do very little, to cause, the anti-protecting plari, of 
 the English proletarism, galvanized by the party, of 
 the parasites, of the bank, of industry, and of trade, to 
 be desowned; because, in 1837, the proletarians, attem- 
 pted, to take back, all their savings, and did not succeed, 
 because none of them was able to find the means, of 
 drawing them, from beneath the hands of the parasites 
 unless by withdrawing them at home and lose the daily 
 interest, small as it may be. Then the English prole- 
 tarism, is the only one, which has understood, that it is 
 not property, which devours, the savings, of abil’ty, and 
 of labour, but that they are the usurers who p’otected 
 by law heccme millionaires on the savings of the people. 
 By appointing the Government to be the only banker 
 of the nation, this chaste, parasitical, sect of society, 
 would then fall at the instant; and the people, deceived 
 by demagogues, would leave off crying out: property is 
 a robbery, but would begin to cry out; the priviledge of 
 setting up hanks is a robbery. But can ail the savings 
 become the industrious shares, of a Sovereing bank ? 
 And why not? Appoint the treasury, to be the saving- 
 bank of the State; open in the great-book the category 
 directed, by all the saving-banks, of every community; 
 make these savings the daily dowry of the sinking-fund, 
 to extinguish, and to change, all the public debt, and 
 all the industrious shares ; throw afterwards, all the 
 superfluous into the uni\ersal bank, to execute the 
 
61 
 
 worldly enterprises, causing every State, to be repre- 
 sented, by its population, as in the present Zollverein, 
 and behold then, the saving, formerly devoured, by the 
 theocratical, political, and feudal parasites, and now 
 a day by bankers, sharers, and usurers, organized 
 throughout, all the world, by means of a register ! 
 
 XI 
 
 The articles of the register ^ of the representatives of the 
 present Prussic -German Zollverein. 
 
 1st. An invitation, to the Austrian Governement, 
 to send his representatives in Berlin, to accede to the 
 Zollverein, and behold a preponderance of 38 millions 
 already acquired, for the commercial German policy. 
 
 8nd. An invitation to all the Governments of the 
 world, to send their representatives at this congress, to 
 sign the register of universal peace, leaning no more on 
 policy, but on the industry, of property, of ability, and 
 of the agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial skill 
 of every nation, 
 
 3rd, The register being signed then must an indu- 
 strious Constitution be opened, composed by the signers 
 of the register, and by the delegates, that are to be sent 
 by an assembly of 3G0, of the strongest actual renters, 
 in the great book of the nation, because the prosperity 
 of the public rent, depends on the collective posteritv, 
 of all the private, industrious, societies. 
 
 4th. To fix as the basis, of the regulation of the consti- 
 tution, that all the representatives of the Governments, 
 of the Great Books, of the Banks, and of Industrious 
 Companies, will have an equal vote, because all nations 
 whatever may be their population, are equal in rights, 
 6 
 
and all Sovereignties, have equal rights, as well as have; 
 equal rights, all the associations, whatever may be the 
 nninber of their shares. On this declaration depends 
 the acceptation, of the invitation, to the universal Zoll- 
 yerein, because policy has hitherto on account, of the 
 most fatal of all uthopies, calculated thrones, or nations 
 on the number of their subjects, or of their citizens, on 
 whose account there began from policy, the violation of 
 the sacred, bilateral bargain and has rendered leonine 
 that s?ime Holy Alliance which humbled thrones, and 
 nations for the only reason, that they had less soldiers, 
 and less money, aad therefore less subjects^ and lest 
 contributors. This is the democracy amongst So- 
 vereigns... 
 
 XTT. 
 
 The triumph of the plan of ihe just means between 
 monopoly and concurrence, that is to say of the 
 protection of mankind. 
 
 All the evils of society derive from the sophism of 
 social science which presupposes, in man, the right of 
 liberty, whilst society exf^dades, and clashes itself with 
 the idea of this pretended liberty. And until this sophism 
 will prevail, generations will fight eaeh other, on the 
 pretest of liberty to dispute really with each other the 
 right of despotism. 
 
 The first want that man feels, is that of nourishment 
 and of love. Having obtained these, he wishes for 
 power, and for honoura^; and having assured to himself 
 these other goods, the weakness of flesh, makes him 
 feel the want of a future life. Nourishment, and love 
 are assured by savings, power and honours, by political 
 
6 ^ 
 
 science, and the trust of a better time to come, is given 
 us by religion. Monopoly, and economical-political- 
 religious competition, is then a sophism, because it 
 provides for the wants, of the few, at the expenses of 
 the more, or for the latter, at the expenses of the less, 
 Then in one case or othor, society remains leonine, on 
 account of which, the partners who suffer, have the 
 right of dissolving it, because the natural, political, and 
 religious law, declares them, to have equal rights, to 
 the comforts of the earth. But all that, which is pro- 
 duced from the earth, is changed, by means, of figures, 
 weight, and measure, otherwise onr egotism, presses us 
 to pretend, from others, more than we give in change, 
 for procuring the thing we want, or by which we sup- 
 pose, to have any right in society. Therefore mine and 
 thine, ours AnAyour's will always be exposed to the ego-, 
 tism of monopolists, or of freed-men, until the theory 
 of the protection of the figures, of the weight, and of 
 the measure, of things does not prevail over that of 
 monopoly and competition. This is as much as is wished 
 for by the true practical socialists, and in the mean time 
 this is what social science, knows not how to fulfil, and- 
 which now divides the nations, "who deluded in their 
 hopes, implore protection from policy or from religionf

 Cheap Government. 
 
 As in the industrious societies, the benefit of the 
 sharers, is at the rate of the greater profi:s they make^ 
 asd these are larger at the rate of the leaser expenses 
 that are made ft>r social administration, so in politicai

 societies, is held as the best Government, that v<^hlch 
 makes his subjects gain more, and which takes off the 
 least expense for governing them. This is the reason 
 why the Government, of the United States is envied by 
 the political demagogues, but which in the mean-time 
 is not perfected by the social demagogues. The wrong 
 however, of the one, and of the other, consists in ad- 
 mitting that in nature there be dear or cheap things, or 
 that there be a social, and merely democratical republic. 
 
 In nature things take value, from mankind, which con- 
 sumes them, and every thing may cost dear, and one 
 live cheaply, and everything may be cheap, and in the 
 mean time, one may be in want of money to buy things 
 Then this sophism of economical science, will vanish, 
 when every thing will be dear or cheap in all the States ' 
 and when Government will be founded on figures, 
 throughout all nations, in manner that the tax on the 
 savings, of the people, may be equal, and be paid on 
 figures, for then the perception, is mathematical, and 
 economical. But in nature, there is no democracy with- 
 out aristoerac), and there is neither one, nor the other, 
 without a sovereignty. Now the United States, have 
 also a Sovereign, and nothing in the nature, of the so- 
 vereignty is changed, if he is called President, King, 
 Emperor, ecc, ecc. But the reason of their cheap Go- 
 vernment, does not proceed from Presidencv, but from 
 the lesser want of political expences, because there are 
 greater economical assurances on shares. Then Mo- 
 narchy, may cost still less, than republican Presidency 
 when the Zollverein will be able to perfect its monar- 
 chical plan, in manner that it may offer to the governed 
 a democratical, aristpcratical, and social plan, cheaper 
 
»= 65 
 
 than that of the United States, associating by means of 
 figures, all the citizens to the Government, and asso- 
 ciating to the splendour of the throne, air the aristo- 
 cracies of genius, who will have accumulated more 
 figures, by governing the figures of democracy. 
 
 XIV. 
 
 The plan, of the monarchical, aristocratical democratieal 
 social and common Government. 
 
 Considering that the costitution,of the Zollverein has 
 proved its usefulness, in the interest, of all the industries 
 of the States which compose it, bnt that this protecting 
 plan, is now found in antagonism, with the plan of the 
 commercial liberty of England ; 
 
 Considering that the political passions profit by thi^ 
 antagonism, to attempt to the external, and internal 
 public peace, favouring the delirium of the uihiopists 
 or of these egotists, who would sacrifice to their advan- 
 tage, improved by free competition, all the States of the 
 world ; 
 
 Considering that the protecting plan, is the* only one 
 which answers the wants of mankind, and the holy aspi- 
 tions of that evangelical socialism, and com.unism, which 
 also assures, all the bread, and all the love, to all the 
 children of Adam, protecting society against the cons- 
 pirations of its parasites ; 
 
 Considering that the peace of the world does not de- 
 pend any more on political opinions, but on the indus, 
 trious interests of nations, and that the diverging of 
 economical precepts, would lead Governments, either 
 to bankruptcy, or to social war ; 
 
66 - 
 
 Considering, that political emigration, is the worst 
 remedy against the internal disturbers, because it renders 
 itself the auxiliary of that external policy, which 
 wishes to triumph, with the contrary precept, and 
 that the preserving precept is lessened as much, as the 
 greater, the number, of the emigrants is; 
 
 Considering, that the holy, Christian religion, power- 
 fully reclaims, the organization of labour, and that this 
 right cannot be satisfied, except when all Christian 
 governments, will have been able to organize money 
 because one cannot make every body work, when one 
 does not dispose of the money of all ; 
 
 Considering, that, according to the present financing 
 plan, of the Christian Governments, the effective money 
 of the people, is not admitted, to be changed into a pro- 
 ductive capital, if it does not pass, through the parasite 
 hands of bankers, who swallow up, the effective money 
 substituting for it, a fictitious paper-money ; 
 
 Considering that this absorption, reclaimed by the 
 wants of industry, ought to be used by Government, 
 for the benefit of the subjects, and that this inexhaus- 
 tible wealth, called public credit ought to be ti'uly the 
 thing of public right as the paying of the tax, is also a 
 public duty ; 
 
 Considering that a reform of all the present old 
 public debt, and of all industrious shares, in as much 
 time, as has been run through, to make it, at the 
 disa'dvange, of the contributors, and of the savings 
 of the people, could serve very well for extinguishing 
 it, and for changing, the surface of the earth, and of 
 society; 
 
- 67 - 
 
 Considering that Divine Providence; governs all, by 
 the precept of protection, and that science, by its 
 pride, of wishing to protect mankind, has caused it to 
 fall, into so many sophisms, so as to deserve the di- 
 sowning of the said mankind, as France has proved it, 
 after 90 years of missed proofs ; 
 
 &c. &c. &c. 
 
 The following proposals, are resigned to the sublime 
 wisdom of the monarchs, and of ministers, now called 
 to pronounce on the renewal of the Prussic- German, 
 Zollverein: 
 
 1st. That the Prussic-German Zollverein, receiving 
 inits bosom the Austrian-Italian Zollverein, may form, 
 the hazel of an industrious European league, which may 
 fortify by the plan of protection, the holy political al- 
 liance found impotent, against the delirium, of the 
 egotist passions, respecting, therefore, all the rights, 
 however it be, acquired by the Governments, by the 
 nations, and by private persons; 
 
 2nd. That this industrious protection, respecting 
 these, rights, may in future protect, all the savings of 
 mankind, by fixing thine and mine, ours and yours, 
 according to the organic laws of Divine Providence, 
 appointing legal providence to be represented by the 
 monarchical precept, by the aristocratical fact, of the 
 greater figures, acquired by any industry whatever, 
 that will be allowed, by the laws ; 
 
 3rd. That the precept of the direct, or indirect tax, on 
 the savings, may be proclaimed, in manner that every 
 body may algebraically contribute, at the algebraical 
 rate, of the savings, which he has been able to make by 
 his own industry, and that all the direct, or indirect 
 
— 68 — 
 
 taxes, on which the opinion, the stroirg-exa-nining or 
 the eagerness of the managers of the perception, may 
 influence, may be suppressed ; 
 
 4th. That to establish this reform, there be, a com- 
 mon, national, and universal Saving bank, in manner, 
 that, the rights and the duties, of the subjects, of the 
 monarchs, and of mankind, may be fixed by figures, as 
 all industrious societies are administered by shares, and 
 the laws of the industrious, European League, will fix, 
 these rights, and these duties, of every man, and every 
 woman ; 
 
 5th. That the rights to the saving, may be fixed at a 
 centime per day, for every £lOd of capital, and that the 
 most severe decimal plan, may rule, the circulation, and 
 the forms of the titles of the rent, of these daily savings 
 jn manner that through protection, these titles, may 
 run through all the world, as at present, run through 
 the exchanges, all the titles of the present public funds 
 at the advantage, of these few, who are initiated, in this 
 mysteri-ous and satanic industry; 
 
 6th. That these s^\i-^ty\edi public funds may be chang- 
 ed into efficient, common, national, and universal 
 funds, causing all the daily savings, which will amount 
 at the figure of lOO coins, to be thrown, from the day, 
 of the establishing, of the present law into the sinking 
 fund of every St*ite, causing, the savings, of less value, 
 to be represented by nominative individual, little-books; 
 
 7th. That all the present, pi’^viledged, self-styled, 
 national banks, may be changed into trulv national 
 banks, and that the sacred, and imprescriptible right, of 
 laying out, trusting money-paper, or of any other mate;- 
 rial whatever, should belong to the Sovereign, and cans® 
 
 ii 
 
St to be respected, with the same severity, v?Ith which 
 ir.etallic coining is respected, and that Sovereignty can- 
 not lay out any of this money, except for the equivalent; 
 
 8th* That every national bank, by absorbing the daily 
 savings of the nation, may discount the bills, of the 
 proprietors, and of all the industrious-men, until the 
 competition, of that guarantee which will be appointed 
 by the I^ws of the League, substituting itself for ail the 
 actual, mort-gaged creditors, who will be obliged, to 
 accept their capital, or the change in titles of rent, on the 
 State, at the rate, of 3, and 65, per 100, per annum ; 
 
 9 th. That all the industrious shares, of rail -roads, of 
 telegraphs, of steamers, of canals, of mines, of life-in- 
 surance-offices, of assurances, ecc. ecc. may be absorbed 
 by the national bank, and changed into titles of rent on' 
 the State, at the interest of 3, and 65, per annum, and 
 that the continuation of these works, may be fulfilled 
 perpetually by the League, with the intervention of 
 the elder managers, whose names, will be yearly with- 
 drawn, from the great national book/ 
 
 10th. That all the services, hitherto rendered to pro- 
 perty, to ability, and to labour by thq bankers, and by the 
 usurers, in the Community, may be rendered by the 
 Sovereign, appointed to be, the only banker, the only 
 saver, and only public usurer of the State, who takes 
 with one hand the .saving, at 3, and 65, per 100, and 
 lends them, from 6, to 7. per 100; 
 
 1 1th. That all the mort-gaged laws, will be reformed 
 In the sense, that Government alone, can take away and 
 give founding or industrious mortage, and Government 
 alone can act against deceitful bankrupty, in manner 
 that nobcdy, either banker, or usurer, may enrich him- 
 
- 70 - 
 
 self any more, on the savings of the people, and the' 
 latter may always find as much credit, as he can warrant 
 hy his property, or by his industry, whatever; 
 
 12th. That eternally there should be no more mystery 
 in the first of all industries, that of the free universal 
 change, of money, by paper, and the contrary; because 
 there will never eternally be more paper, than money, 
 and the contrary; and this free change, will be favour- 
 ed, with the universal plan, of receiving for a week, tho 
 savings, and of discounting, the bills of exchange, in the 
 next, in maniier that, the paper, of the fii’st week, may 
 be necessarily, asked for, in the second; 
 
 13th. That the assembly, of every national bank re- 
 presented by 30&, of the strongest managers, inscidbed 
 on the great book, of the State, will have the right of 
 appointing a delegate, for the Industrious Assembly y. 
 and every monarch, will have the right, of keeping in it, 
 one of his ministers, and that these delegates, and mi- 
 nisters, may form, that Royal Sovereign who forms at 
 present the Assembly of Frankfort, in manner, that they 
 may represent, the material and moral interest, of the 
 nations; 
 
 14th. That to fulfil this reform, the Royal Sovereign 
 may begin, by adopting one only coin one only weight,, 
 and one only measure, which She will call, centimes, 
 decimals, and sovereigns, which will represent 1, 5, 10, 
 centimes in copper, 25, 50, 100, centimes, in silver, 
 which will constitute,. the decimals I, 5, 10, in gold, 
 which will constitute the sovereigns, and so of the dry, 
 and of the liquids ; 
 
 15th. That finally, to give the English \ e.'ple, the 
 greatest proof, that the Zollverein, does not intend re- 
 
newing the uthiopy of the continental plan, of th? 
 decree, of Berlin and of Milan, of 1811, will protect iox 
 the first enterprise, the construction, of the rail-roads, 
 beginning from Egypt, to make it the head, of all the 
 rail-roads, of tie West, and of the East, in which enter-< 
 prise every State, will take as many shares, as will 
 answer its population. 
 
 Conclusion. 
 
 The publicity, of this little Catechism, would be 
 enough to make the Royal Prince.?, and their learned 
 ministers, understand, that the theory developed by us^ 
 practically dissolves, all the social strifes, that policy, 
 and the self styled social science, could not hitherto 
 dissolve. But the eynism of the parasites, of the pre- 
 sent society, and the atrocious scientific jealousy of so 
 many reformers, humbled by the State — blow^, of the 
 2nd L'ejember, would profit of the ignorance, of the 
 masses, in financial matters, to fight, as it has hitherto 
 done, this theory, by silence. But Providence alone, is 
 able to do, more than science, has hitherto, been able to 
 do, to preserve, generations, from falling, again, into 
 brutification. Socialism was destroying the civility of 
 Rome, and Providence, was causing Christianism to 
 arise, to re-organize, by religion^ that, edifice, which 
 had been destroyed by policy, and by science. 
 
 Socialism, now threatens Christian civility, and 
 science becomes the minister of hipocritical ambitions^ 
 who profit of the Holy Gospel, to socialize mankind, in 
 a sense, all opposed, to the natural, rational, re\ealed 
 socialism. Yes, the Holy ^Gospel, commands socialism^ 
 because founded on charity, which consists in giving 
 
^ T2 - 
 
 the poor that which is superfluous to us, which means, 
 in giving the poor our savings. But, for what? To de- 
 grade them, by alms, or to make them active, and useful 
 by labour ':* But how is labour to be organized, if Go- 
 vernment does not organize savings ? And these being 
 organized, would not then labour be found organized^ 
 because there would then be more disposing savings, 
 than arms, and abilities? And must society organized, 
 by classes, and by groups, and these always, by figures, 
 produce that social concord, that must dissolve, the 
 problem, of the social organisation, in the economical, 
 civil, and moral institutions, promised to us by the 
 Messiah ( de omnibus unum ) ? And must not then, this 
 infernal trade of money, which has caused more than 
 100 billions, of the savings, of mankind, to pass in the 
 parasite hands, of bankers, usurers, managers, sharers, 
 f^ortune-hunters, cease ? And must not then, the gene- 
 ra\ disarming begin, when for the venal, political force, 
 will be substituted, the economical, gratuitous force, of 
 all mankind, become a sharer, in the universal Zollve- 
 rein ? Yes the bank of England, her India-Company 
 her life-insurance offices, her saving-banks, render her 
 the political tyrant of the world, and it is foolish to 
 fight her, with opinions, but it is wise, to associate her 
 by figures and woe to that policy, which should think, 
 to be strong enough, to fight with England, because her 
 bank might furnish her, with other 8()0 millions of 
 pounds sterling, and might sally out the 40 thousand 
 emigrants, to ensure herself, her, political-commercial 
 pre-eminence, either by a second Waterloo, or by a 
 second S4th of February ! (1)

 ( 1 ) The parasites, of the savings of mankind, would lay before, a thou- 
 sand difficulties, for the attitude of this reform, if the Hand-book, which is 
 prepared for Pius IX, and which could not be brought to light, before and 
 after the revolution, were not to be published. But if the August Mo- 
 narchs. and their conscientious counsellors, to whom this plan is dedicated 
 will extend their hand to its humble author, to publish his Hand-book,, 
 then would all the possible difficulties, of wheeling, which these parasites, 
 whose all billions do not represent, but as many savings, taken in by 
 change, by usury, by management, from property, from ability, and from 
 labour would lay before, be found dissolved:

 P. S. Providence has finally wished, to place the author in a better con- 
 
 nothing now, but the protection of the philanthropist Emmanuel II. of his 
 most liberal Parliament, and of the most learned journalism, to draw the 
 universal attention, on the Sovereign Bancocracy, and on the Great Social 
 Book of mankind. (Extracted from the 2nd number of the annals, of 
 'millionaires printed in Turin.)

 Other P. S. Let our readers know that after four months of my residing 
 in Turin, and after, that the most efficient assistance, was promised me, by 
 the first minister, the Earl of Cavour, in the morning of the 19th October 
 I was arrested, put into the secret prisons, sent to the prisons of Genoa, 
 and expelled, without my Government’s passaport’s having been of any 
 help to me. Let them also know, that being arrived to Malta, the police 
 wished to prevent me, from publishing my periodical, the Protezionista. 
 But why so many persecutions ? To prevent the publishing, of this frightful 
 Hand-book, and the diilusion of the industrious society of Millionaires.

 THE TRUE ORTHODOXY 
 or 
 
 XHE GENERAL PROTECTION, OF THE ECONOMICAL FAITH 
 (credit), of the social faith of the 
 
 THEOLOGICAL FAITH (religion.) 
 
 Iii the hope of this little hook’s finding favour, with 
 all those, who wish for universal peace, we permit our- 
 selves to close it, with these few hints on Orthodoxy 
 taken as a pretest, by the French, and by the Russian 
 Cabinet, to justify a war, which forty years of peace, 
 had made us think to be impossible. The faith of my 
 august, new Lord said the ambassador Lavallette, to the 
 august monarch and pope of true believers, is the only 
 true one, an account of which, 1 ask for the precedence 
 of the latin Christians, in the honour of snuffing their 
 lamps, before the sepulchre of Christ, on the condition, 
 that the refusal, will be a casus belli. And the believer, 
 of believers ; threatened, but not convinced, by this 
 orthodoxy, yielded, to the pretentions, of the vicar, of 
 the vicar of the orthodoxy of the West. 
 
 The sovereign and pope, of the orthodoxes, in the 
 East, having comprehended, the borne policy, of this 
 precedence granted to the Latins, in snuffing the lamps, 
 of the Holy Sepulchre, sends his ambassador Menzikoff 
 to protest this preference; and of the question of the 
 lamps, he makes, ^ politic protecting question. Then 
 
~ 75 — 
 
 the English, protestant orthodoxy, which honours its 
 sovereigns, as the protectors of the orthodox, anglican 
 -faith, betraying, its we'w anti-protectinj plan, takes part 
 in the strife of the East, at the favour of the vicar, of 
 the vicar, of Christ, who since more than three centuries- 
 it keeps, as the Antichrist; and between the two Anti- 
 christs, it pronounces in favour of the Latin I 
 
 Here stands the mind, possessed with wisdom. Apoc. 
 chap. xiii. v. 18. 
 
 We will now ask, these anti-protectionists, the coun- 
 sellors, of the good, and innocent pope-queen Victoria, 
 the pyotectress of faith, how they can make the war of 
 the East, weigh, on the ambition of Pope Nicholas, 
 when, to preserve peace, d tout prix they let Pope Na- 
 poleon take a political ascendency, over all Europe, 
 while they had always opposed themselves, to this pre- 
 tension of the counsellors of Louis Philippe, and madd 
 it in 1840 a casus belli? You, and no others, but you, 
 counselloi’s, of the crown of England, are responsible 
 before God, and before mankind, of having thrown it 
 into the infernal war, of which you now see, the satanio 
 consequences and tremble ! 
 
 Yes to this Babel, monopoly and the competition in 
 economy, in policy, and in religion, leads ! When the 
 true signification of the word, is ventured at, which is 
 God, the abyss is opened, and you are irresistibly dragged 
 to hell. You ambitious of power, have confounded, to 
 deceive the hungry people, the word, monopoly with 
 that of protection, which you should have substituted 
 for it, proclaiming, oompetion, which, you said to the 
 repulsive beggary, must produce the general wealth of 
 the people ! -You have sacrificed, property, and agricuL 
 
76 - 
 
 ture, to industry, and to the satanic management, of the 
 Exchange. You have made all the democracy, accept 
 this holy word, jo?'oieciion, as the synonyme of monopoly f 
 
 You Messrs, anti-protectionists, who would found, 
 your empire, making monopoly, by competition profi- 
 ting of the ascendency of the enormous, fictitious wealth 
 of paper, which nourishes, the wantonness of your in- 
 dustries, because they find capital, at 3 per cent, while 
 those of the continent, are obliged, to get them, at 5, at 
 6, at 12 per cent, have thrown perturbation, on your 
 traders in grain, whom you caused to fail ; you have 
 abated the public funds from 100, to 82 per cent, you 
 have raised the discount of the bank, for which you have 
 preserved monopoly ; you finally, to save yourselves, 
 from bankruptcy, have sent Lord Minto, as you have 
 always done, in similar unlucky crises, to throw the re- 
 volutionary fire on the continent! 
 
 As soon as you were replaced on saddle-bow, enjoying 
 the interest, of the revolution you had roused, you 
 Messrs anti-protectionisti, frightened by the republican 
 hydra, instead, of preserving, the monarchical precept,, 
 by the peaceful, and conscientious discussion, of indu- 
 strious socialism, the only means of arriving, at the ra- 
 tional socialism, in which, afterwards enters, the religious 
 orthodoxy, have hastened, to acknowledge the 2nd of 
 December, without reflecting that you you were selling 
 your wordly power, to your principal enemy, who 
 has now attached you, to his triumphal car I You were 
 the first to undergo the humiliation, of him who made 
 himself, with the empire, the vicar of the Antichrist, 
 who took, the orthodoxy of Rome, under his protection 
 and you are now obliged to protect him ! ! ! 
 
— 77 - 
 
 And you finally, betrayei"^, of the queen, of the 
 country, of your orthodoxy, and of that of all mankind, 
 are now drawn, to protect islamism, against christianisin 
 to have yo^r brothers killed in Christ, to make the de^ 
 caying Fatalism, against which, the West has so much 
 fought, with its Crusades, triumph; are obliged, to 
 have your Greek brothers and our's killed, to sustain 
 our Turkish enemies and your’s, who will, after having 
 been replaced, on power, by your protection, sell you 
 again, the fatal sepulchre of Him, who had sacrificed 
 himself, for the protection of all the children, of Adam! 
 Protect then, human religion, that is, that of bread and 
 love and you will have peace, and the true Orthodoxy I 
 
 But ye anti protectionists, who have the honour of 
 advising your pope queen, how can ye monopolists, who 
 would return to power to favour exclusively, territorial 
 property, not dissolve, the question of mankind, of 
 which the vicar, of the antichri&t, of Rome, profits, to 
 keep you attached to his triumphal car. The men, of 
 loyal heart, of the school, of the supreme, and not re- 
 placed, Peel, are those alone who can, organize, natural 
 rational, and hihWcdiX protection, and who can algebrai- 
 cally fix, by the Sovereign Bancocracy and by the Great 
 Social Booh of mankind, what is to be given, to Cesar, 
 to God, and to the People, the personified triad in 
 Adam, of which the creator, made His divine image ! 
 
 And you, socialists, and pantheists, of France, and 
 Germany, who spread abroad, the sophism, of socialism, 
 and of rational pantheism, before that of industry, bow 
 down to the Almighty as the Great Industrious One, 
 and to His Christ as the wisest, socialist, and human 
 pantheist, because He began His holy mission, teaching 
 
you to pray for bread and bequeathing Himself, to the 
 worship of mankind,' under the form of bread. Yes, 
 Home became a prostitute for the spirit ofbread, London 
 a prostitute, for the spirit t)f trade-, Paris revolutionary 
 for the spirit of materialism ; Napoleon has become 
 great, because he has been able to make himself the 
 head, of this secret spirit of Jesuitism, with which every 
 man, and every woman, is^orn, avid dies ! ! ! (I) 
 
 (1.) This power, to which, Napoleon has raised himself, was preserved 
 for Ml'. Lamartine, if instead of laying before his philosophical, nthiopy, o 
 the repul hque industnelle,h.e had def nded the repuhlique rationelle, not by 
 his ruhoulous, national works, but by Sovereign bancocracy, which dissolves, 
 the question, of life, or death, of this old society, by giving each, according 
 to his destiny, to every destiny, according to its attitude, to every one, ac- 
 cording to his own savings. But was Mr Lamartine, a connoisseur, of this 
 sovereign bancocracy ? He had it, on his table. 
 
 Here is one of his letters, which will eternally accuse him, of being, an. 
 ambitious; and envious uthiopist !! !

 Ijet us then conclude, the catechism of our orthodoxy 
 by beseeching, every true, and loyal English subject 
 •who would honour it, by his reading it, to spread abroad, 
 this precept — that if Napoleon, by using our social 
 theory, has succeeded, in endowing, the impious war, 
 queen Victoria, by opening a worldly loan, as is propo- 
 sed in this catechism, will endow, the holy peace, and 
 will be saluted, as the personifying, of that Angel, of 
 the Apocalj^sis, who is to give peace to the world, by 
 founding the government, of figures, the orthodoxy, of 
 figures, the fatality of figures, as the just means, between 
 the competition, and the monopoly, in economy, in po- 
 licy, in religion, and which is called. Protection. 
 
 Readers, confront, the prophesies of Isaiah, and of 
 Micah, with this of John ; and as soon as the 5/7/ of the 
 reform of Saving-banks, roused by Mr. VV^ilson, will 
 come forth, or, a worldly loan, the great, and powerful, 
 Jlothschildish party will be opened, peace will be made, 
 the devil, will be chained, hell will be shut up for every 
 body, and also purgatory, for us, catholic-apostolical- 
 romans ! These are the consoling promises, of the 
 Apocalypsis. — And I saw, an Angel, come down from 
 heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great 
 chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, 
 that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, f theo- 
 logy and philosophy , monopoly and competition, supersti- 
 tion and atheism ecc. ecc.y and bound him, a thousand 
 years. And cast him, into the bottomless pit, and shut 
 him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive 
 the nations no more ; {and their sorer eings ) till the 
 thoi. ->and years should be fulfilled ; ( and all the world 
 
80 - 
 
 will call out : Victoria, Victoria, Victoria!) This is our 
 orthodoxy. So be it (1). 
 
 ( 1 ) The author is getting this little work translated into the English 
 language and is getting another ready, which will be the last, entitled 
 ^“A sketch of o.thodoxy according to Moses, desus and Mahomet” — 
 In this little-book, the author, with the Book of Revelations, in his hand, 
 shows, that the moment of the apparition of tlie Angle, who descended 
 from heaven with a key, and a great chain hi his hand, is come, and that this 
 Angel, can be no other but Q,ueen Victoria, or Frederic VI. of Prussia, 
 as the two sovereigns, who stand at the head of this immense associa<^ion, 
 who had begun to render the world an earthly paradise, by means, of that 
 industry, now changed, against so much wealth, created in 40 years of 
 peace ! May these efforts, make us descend into the tomb, with the hymn of 
 old Simeon, on our lips ! ! !
