BUSINESS CENTRES AMAZED
At tho Successful Operation of tho Newly
Pissed Silver Law,

New York, Sept. 1.-The success O.
tho operations OF the now silver law
amazes this business center. Here II
was that the hotbed Of opposition to the
elevation Of the metal found lodgment,
Any movement In Congress looking to
an honest replacement OF silver as money
has always found here the antagonist.
This contingent included the doctrinaire,
the banker, the political philosopher,
tho politician, and even the Presidential
candidates. Tilden was the implacable
loe O! silver, and Cleveland followed In
his path, and may be because OF his sug.
gestion. The one argument advanced
has always been that the rehabilitation
OF silver presaged the drain Of gold to
the other side.
Tho actual experience though OF tho
present law, not Of itself far.reaching,
has destroyed In a short month the argu.
ments piled up for years. The very i'm.
OF opposition has been sap.
ped; Gold is not escaping with rapidly
to European capitals, and silver has
reached tho point where It's parity with
gold Is nearer than since the hourit was
cunningly demonetized. The banks
have awakened to the fact that the oppo.
sition has been III grounded. ST
This condition has been worked out
alter many obstacles by tho representa-.
lions Of tho West. The financial sense
of those from the wild and woolly" sec.
ion has overcome. in practical expert.
.nce, the theories Of the money.lendipg
lass Of the East, and right here, in New
York City, which stands as the hawk
md vulture OF all other sections, Is the |
more manifest.
A blind man can almost point the
moral. 1t means, within a few short
'ears, the free and unlimited coinage OF
ilver; it means the era Of the double
tandard. And. moreover, it means that
Hereafter the United States, and not
treat Bsitain's Capital, shall dx the
Price Of silver bullion. Indeed, the lat.
