Гладстона в палате общин 7 апреля 1864 года. А затем далее говорится: «Постоянные вопиющие противоречия в бюджетных речах Гладстона за 1863 и 1864 гг. один английский писатель характеризует следующей цитатой из Мольера» (следует вышеприведенное четверостишие Мольера).
Ясно, что Маркс заимствовал из этой книги не только цитату из Мольера, но также и придуманные автором «Теории вексельного курса» «постоянные вопиющие противоречия в бюджетных речах Гладстона».
b) Энгельс, как было уже сказано во введении к этой перепечатке, прибавил в четвертом издании первого тома «Капитала» Маркса на стр. 617 к приведенной по-прежнему неправильно цитате из бюджетной речи Гладстона ссылку на «Morning Star» от 17 апреля 1863 года. Спорное место этой речи было уже передано выше на стр. 8–9 по стенографическому отчету «Хансарда». Хотя на стр. 13 уже было сделано сопоставление с точно совпадающим по смыслу «Хансардом» и лишь более сжатым для газеты отчетом «Times», мы все же сопоставляем здесь еще раз отчет «Times» и отчет в упоминаемом Энгельсом «Morning Star» с буквальным текстом цитаты у Маркса [Переводы цитат из «Times» и из «Капитала» см. на стр. 168–169 и 142 настоящего тома. Текст цитаты из «Morning Star» аналогичен тексту «Times». Ред.] :
The Times, April 17, 1863
«In ten years, from 1842 to 1852 inclusive, the taxable income of the country, as nearly as we can make out, increased by 6 per cent; but in eight years, from 1853 to 1861, the income of the country again increased from the basis taken by 20 per cent. That is a fact so strange as to be almost incredible… I must say for one, I should look almost with apprehension and with pain upon this intoxicating augmentation of wealth and power, if it were my belief that it was confined to the classes who are in easy circumstances. This takes no cognizance at all of the condition of the labouring population. The augmentation I have described, and which is founded, I think upon accurate returns, is an augmentation entirely confined to classes of property. Now, the augmentation of capital is of indirect benefit to the labourer, because it cheapens the commodity which in the business of production comes into direct competition with labour. (Hear, hear.) But we have this profound, and, I must say, inestimable consolation, that while the rich have been growing richer the poor have been growing less poor. Whether the extremes of poverty are less extreme than they were I do not presume to say, but the average condition of the British labourer, we have the happiness to know, has improved during the last twenty years in a degree which we know to be extraordinary, and which we may almost pronounce to be unexampled in the history of any country and of any age. (Cheers.)
The Morning Star, April 17,1863
«I must say, for one, I should look with apprehension and with pain upon this intoxicating augmentation of wealth and power, if it were my belief that it was confined to the classes who are in easy circumstances. This great increase of wealth takes no cognizance at all of the condition of the labouring population. The augmentation is an augmentation entirely confined to classes of property. But that augmentation must be of indirect benefit to the labouring population, because it cheapens the commodities which go to the general consumption. So that we have this profound, and I almost say, inestimable consolation while the rich have been growing richer, the poor have been growing less poor. (Hear, hear.) At any rate, whether the extremes are less than they were I do not presume to say, but the average condition of the British labourer, we have the happiness to know to be extraordinary, and that we may almost pronounce it to be unexampled in the history of any country or any age. (Cheers.)
Das Kapital, I. Aufl., S. 639, Note 103
«From 1842 to 1852 the taxable income of the country increased by 6 per cent. In the eight years from 1853 to 1861, it had increased from the basis taken in 1853, 20 per cent! The fact is so astonishing as to be almost incredible…
… This intoxicating augmentation of wealth and power is entirely confined to classes of property, but must be of indirect benefit to the labouring population, because it cheapens the commodities of general consumption — while the rich have been growing richer, the poor have been growing less poor! At any rate, whether the extremes of poverty are less, I do not presume to say».
Здесь, в середине фразы, как показывает вышеприведенная перепечатка, «Теория вексельного курса» обрывает цитату, чтобы вставить цитату из Мольера; Маркс, который, как показывает сопоставление, ни в коем случае не мог взять цитату из «Morning Star», а, обозначив точками пропущенное им место, заимствовал его дословно из «Теории вексельного курса», заставляет Гладстона закончить в середине фразы…
========
Из настоящего сопоставления ясно, что произвольно составленная мозаика вырванных из общей связи фраз, которую Маркс дает как бюджетную речь Гладстона, не находится ни в «Morning Star», ни в «Times», ни в «Хансарде», а ее можно найти только в «Теории вексельного курса». Приведенные выше фразы курсивом — это именно те, которые Генри Рой и — сравни последнюю фразу — тем более Карл Маркс пропустили, чтобы приписать Гладстону противоположное тому, что он сказал.

I may say that I for one would look with fear and apprehension at this intoxicating increase of wealth if I were of opinion that it is confined to the classes in easy circumstances. This great increase of wealth which I have described, and which is founded on accurate returns is confined entirely to the augmentation of capital, and takes no account of the poorer classes.
«Morning Herald».
«Morning Post». I may say, I for one, would look with fear and apprehension when I consider this great increase of wealth if I believed that its benefits were confined to the classes in easy circumstances. This augmentation of wealth which I have described, and which is founded on accurate returns is confined entirely to the augmentation of capital, and takes no account of the augmentation of wealth of the poorer classes.
«Daily Telegraph». I may say for one, that I should look almost with apprehension and alarm on this intoxicating augmentation of wealth and power if it were my belief that it was confined to the masses who are in easy circumstances. This question to wealth takes no cognizance at all of the condition of the labouring population. The augmentation stated is an augmentation entirely confined to the classes possessed of property.
«Daily News». I may say that I for one would look with tear and apprehension when I consider this great increase of wealth if I believed that its benefits were confined to the classes in easy circumstances. This augmentation of wealth which I have described, and which is founded upon accurate returns, is confined entirely to the augmentation of Capital, and takes no account of the augmentation of wealth of the poorer classes.
«Standard». I may say that I for one would look with fear and apprehension at this intoxicating increase of wealth if I were of the opinion that it was confined to the classes in easy circumstances. This great increase of wealth which I have described, and which is founded on the accurate returns is confined entirely to the augmentation of Capital, and takes no account of the poorer classes.
