The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-12-07

independent action by the United States
would be injurious to Us and beneficial
TO the outside world. But he also said
that in any agreement it should be pro
vided that enough Of silver must be put
into the established dollar to make it
equal to gold dollar.
"The president has appointed dele
gstes to the international conference. II
ia true that there are two silver men on
the delegation. But the majority are
gold men, and they will dictate to the
others or silence them altogether. The
United States is put before that con-
gress as in favor Of monometallism.
"You recollect tne various propositions
which it is now shown are to be put for
ward before that congress. Through q
subtle scheme, it Is arranged that the
members Of the delegation are not to
know what is going on, out that the busi-
ness is to be talked over and decided
upon by commissioners, one from each
government. You may be curious to
know who our commissioners is. will
tell you. know his record in monetary
matters. He is pupil OF John J. Knox
and John Sherman, and was successor
Of j. j. Knox when that man became
president of the First National bank OF
New York city. Subsequently, our CON-
missioner became president Of the Chase
National bank himself, and continued in
his study Of monometallism. he has
been in the habit of watching the Euro
pean market, and doing the bidding Of
the Rothschilds. Let me read the report
Of this man when he was comptroller OF
the currency. After endorsing what had
been previously SAID by his predeces-
sors, he goes on to say: 1t seems doubt
full whether this government should not
hesitate to issue silver certificates even
on the bullion value He favored the
dlscontinuance Of the coinage of silver,
and declared that silver coinage was in
excess Of the demand Of the country, and
should be discontinued. He also pro-
nounced that he was in favor of repeal
ing the Bland act. He recommended this
repeal. President Harrison embodied

at is true that the head of the Roths-
child's has made suggestion concern
ing this international conference. But
all men know that suggestion comes from
the head Of the spirit, and the fountain
source of monometalllsm. He does not
urge monometallism, it Is true. He does
not want it to come too suddenly, as he
would lose some of his debtors; but he at
the same tune is counseling all money
holders to increase their reserves Yet
through all his skillfully framed sugges-
tions does he suggest to abandon the
gold standard? No. BY no means. That
must be maintained though the world
stRrve.
"If silver is only to be credit money,
paper is better-it is cheaper. There is
now in circulation IN the civilized world
$4,OO0,OOOO0O Of paper money, $4,000
00O,000 Of silver money, and only $780,
100000 of gold money, which is the basis
and reserve Of the other two. It might
all be paper money just as well, because
the credit all rests on less than half the
amount Of both. To keep the gold as the
standard Of value, the basis for all the
other money, is the suggestion of the
Rothschilds. We're this done, and the
ratio placed at where they want it-at "a
to lit would be an agreement to keep
the discount on silver and domonetizo it
permanently. The effect of such plan
would be to retire 81, $l,600,0O0,O00 in the
hand Of the people if it should be re-
coined at this ratio of "a to l. Silver
mining would be checked, so that this
amount Of S1,6OO,OOO,OOO would never
again be supplied. There would not be
silver money enough coined in the next
century to make it up. The money loan.

lose it. Any change Of the ratio takes 90
