accepting my advice you can quiet your conscience, those of you who have
any, with this argument: 'If I start, I am sure of success. If I succeed,
no one will be the wiser. The millions I secure I will take from men who
took them from others, and who would take mine. The more I and others
take, the sooner will come the day when the stock-gambling structure will
fall.'
"The day on which the stock-gambling structure falls is the day for which
all honest men and women should pray."

Robert Brownley knew what was fitting for the last day of his career, he
has revealed to you the trick--and more.
"Many of you are desperate. Many of you by to-morrow will be ruined. The
time of all times for such to put my trick in practice is now. The victim

leading stocks and to pay for them, even though after I have bought they
fall a hundred dollars a share.
