but dignity. And this support likewise requires its supports –
Dignity of his crown, dignity of his throne, splendour and
lustre of Crown, throne, not to speak of sceptre, – all these
things require support; support they must all of them
have, or he is no better than a mere President; and down in
the suds tumble King, throne, crown, and sceptre all together.
Well: and this support – what is it that it must be
made of? Answer – Gold. Yes, of gold: for no particle of it

and interest-begotten prejudice has made their dupes:
look at an English a King of England's Speeches – those so
regularly and loudly trumpeted Speeches, – read from
time to time to the two assemblies – the people's sham
representatives called the House of Commons and the
self-representing body, which together with the
King form what is called the Parliament:
