The rhunderer on Silver.

Salt Lake Tribune: Evidently the
Rcthchilds and the other bankers of
Great Brit ain. who have been reaping
such harvests during the last eight
years or more, through holding the
silver standard in India. and having
unloaded upon them he silver product
OF America. by which they have been
able at the same time to rum the agrl-
cultura int erests of the United States.
make harder the burdens oi the poor
in India, and gather to themselves the
profits of the world; are alarmed at
the prospects of the congress OF the
United States restoring silver to ITS
rightful place. The Times, which is
the organ of royalty and monopoly
cries out: ''If the policy OF the silver
ring should succeed in America. through
popular impatience under commercial
and financial difficulties, the damned
up volume OF silver would pour out
in an overwhelming rush on he world"
TO which the American feels like grace
fully responding, "YOu he l..
Where is your damned up volume ot
silver to come irom?" 1t Is not IN
England, it is not in Asia, 1t is not IN
America Where is this great volume
OF silver? Europe hasn't altogether
in all its vaults 100000. 900 worth of
silver bullion, except what Is held as
part OF the reserve in the bank ot
England. That bank cannot unload
except by substitutinggold in it's place.
and all the world outside Of the United
States cannot within twenty millions
a year supply the silver required by
the world. The cry oil the Times
amounts to nothing but a squawk.
The men who have been getting rich
through the fOOlishncss and the wick
edness OF the legislation which, IL
America, took from silver it's Oil
rightful position, are frightened, think
ing that their harvest is about to he
cut off. Hence they rush to the Times
and bid it shrek about the future
woes that will come to the world II
the American people please to use the
product of their mines as best suits
them. When the London Times be-
comes a philanthrOpist and affects IA
fearful anxiety lest the nations OF the
earth shall do something in IA financial
way which shall be against their best
Interests, it is safe to conclude that
the financiers of London are worried
lest tine pear which they have been
nibbling at will be taken from their
lips. The Times speaks OF ''rhe Silver
Ring" in America. 1t is IA bigger ring
than the Times ever heard OF before,
excepting it be one OF those which
surrounded the planet Saturn. We DO
not wonder at it's terror. 1t is look
ing forward to a time when, by close
alliance with all the American repub-
lies with harmony among them on the
money question, the center OF tie
commercial world will pass away from
London and come over to New York
1t is more afraid OF the loss of pres
, tige than it is OF any loss that Will
come from the remOnetlzatlOn oil
silver, for the men in control OF the
Times know thoroughly well that oi
all the wrongs OF the past fifty years
the characterization OF silver has EN-
tailed much loss upon these two ma
tiOns and given England the greatest
9 advantage. The United States should
take courage at the squawk oil the
Times. 1t is "a clear proof that the
harpies that prey upon the mislor-
e tunes OF mankind in London look
f, upon the remOnet izatiOn Oi silver M
America as "A death blow to them
D Fortunately the world contemplate
t that catastrophe with exceedingly dry
eyes.
