THE Tins ana TriLm, have been inter-
viewing the solid mer III Chicago. Most "t
these men interviewed are bankers, pr are
connected with such heavy Establishments
that they practically nave a monopoly Of the
time Of business in which they are engaged.
OF course everybody Who was at all posted
knew that such men were M favor ut specie
contraction. These are the very men Hho
are wanting to lay up mortgaged property
for mere song; and the sooner they nave
the legal right to rob other members a the
community the better they will ike i. They
are the men who believed that they hold the
longest pole and will knock down the golden
persimons But the opinion Of workingmen
who create the wealth that these pot baihed
bullionists absorb, would DE entirly different.
1t is safe to say, however. that neither the
Times nor Tribune viii interview the work
men. Their bank organs draw their susten-
ence from the "solid men, the men who
have absorbed the earnings Of others until
they count their wealth by thousands. and
who live bv "the delightful occupation Of
cutting of coupons Cfcourse these men are
in favor Of specie payments.
