financial scheme whether we or Gen.
Butler are right as TO the mode and me-

not here argue. We can but be honest
IN the premises"
The Herald says of the scheme :
However much his views may be ques-
toned or opposed by the old school finan-
ciers and political economists, no doubt
he has struck the chord Of popular senti>
ment, and that he will be recognized as
the leader in this new movement for
an American system of currency and
finance"
The World says: "His plan is not
without ingenuity and certain sort Of
architectural symmetry, but built upon
a ridiculously unstable foundation, and
supported by sophistries, we can not call
them arguments, which could be gcner>
ated only in the brain of demagogue."
