36. “ … you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the
breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the
profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the
bank.
You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its
charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true,
gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will
ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin!
You are a den of vipers and thieves. I
have determined to rout you out, and
by the Eternal, I will rout you out!”
