ycrsed by iron rails, England has
knou1 that the time must come when
London will cease to control the
monetary exchanges of mankind. and
tie financial center of the nations,
with the profits attached to il, will
shift to our side of the Atlantic.
How Il will arrive depends on our
own wisdom. England is vitality
interested to postpone its coming by
encouraging US in financial foilies,
and Of al such folliss the Bland Act
is the chief. She is vitality interested
to preclpiiate a financial crisis, to the
verge of which that Act has brought
rs As seifishness: controls thelpolicy
Of nations, We do not blame England
for cheering US on to submit to the
ssiiver Kings We visit our whole
blame on these asilver kisgsn and the
subseryisnt politicians they have
lribed, bgilisd or eAjoled for their
INSCRIPTIONS willingness to play into
England's hands at the risk Of our
own ruin by making our Treasury and
mint artificial markets for silver
bullion.
We admit that the Herald, by its
energy and enterprise, is justly enti-
tied TO be termed the "Grsat Thun,

Am ri upon any and every qu sion
than any other four publications is
sued in the United States, and yet
there is not the veriest "psnny-a-liner'

such outrageous hog wash and false

What made it possible for the mags
nifcent city of San Francisco to rise
upon the site of the humble Mission
of Dolores but the gold and silver
mines Of the Pacific Coastl
What made it possible to span the

and Territories
What made ii possible to wrest from
London the monetary exchanges of

the Atlantic but the gold and silver
mines of this western portion of our
great Republic.
What made it possible for our Re-
public to suppress and put down the
greatest and strongest rebellion inagu-
rated in modern times against free
institutions, but the gold and silver
products Of its western possessions 7
What made it possible for our Gov
eminent to resume specie payment
and restore to par its promises to
pay, which these gold-bugs had
greatly deprecated, but the gold and
silver yield of our Western States
and Territories
What makes it possible to-day for
the bloated and soullsss bondholder
of the New York Herald to collect
the monthly interest upon his U. 8.
bonds in gold, but the gold and silver
wrung from our mountain sides by the
energy and csasslsss toll of the miners

CAS- selishnsss controls the policy
OF nations We are prone to believe
that selfshness controls the policy of
the great New York Herald. We be-
lieve now that it has descended from
its former proud position of independ-
emit American Journalism and become
the subservient tool of Wall street
and London bankers, and is making
frantic efforts to "bribs, bully and ca
