FRIENDS OF SILVER.

The It. Louis silver convention ~ at
Gacting more attention in the East
than the Wall street crowd Thought
possible. In the very stronghold of the
money kings prominent tinanciers and
bankers are helping i'm the fight for the
restoration of the white metal to its
proper position. Banker It. John i'm u
recent letter to the New York Chamber
Of Commerce, asserts that his plan to
retire United states notes will enhance
the price of silver and maintain that
advance for at least nine years. In the
course of his letter Mr.. II. John says:
To enhance the price of silver importantly Is tn
increase the worlds cost of that commodity
which, upon arrival at the mints of India ;lnd the
payment Of a moderate senoragc, bccomes at
once lntlia's lepal-tender money. To Increase
che cost tn England of lndias icgaltender
proiucts which India's money buys. Thus to
enhance the price Of silver Is to diminish Eng
lands advantage Of trade with India for supplies
Of products which the United States can furnish
her. To enhance the price of silver In. therefore,
% enlarge the foreign demand for our spare gran,
and cotton.
This is the sort of argument which
the gold bugs find hard to answer,
much less to contrOvert. After the
tariff, the silver question is next i'm inn
pOrtance, and congress will be forced
to take some decided action this win
ter. The silver dollar must he restored
