in many instances been great financial

said:
"Our people do not realize the great
fact that If specie payment Is endan-
gered in this country it is likely
to bo endangered by our present
of trade with the Latin
American States. The few millions

the country within the last three
have created uneasiness in GER

loss OF these millions from banks in
Wall street should be accounted
so serious an event when we have lost a
much larger amount during the same
period from the condition of our trade

the least observation. When our
merchants and bankers come to thor
