UNITD STATES; SEA- ATE,


visited Now York city and spent three
days among the bankers and brokers'.
The European Investors in this couu-
try In bonds and other securities are
making a most aggressive war against
the people of the United States. They
control the banks OF Nav York be-
cause they employ them to do their
business. The great banks of that
city arc mere investors and collectors
on foreign account. They NIL use the
same argument, which is that we are
dependent on Europe for money, and
we must shape our financial policy to
suit Europe or Europe will take her
money away and give us no more.
When they are told that the business
of this country cannot DO conducted
on the gold basis; that there is not
gold enough TO sustain the fabric Of
credit already resting upon it, the re-
ply is that Europe has plenty of mon
ey and we must depend on Europe.
The present Financial distress is
mainly owing to tho concerted action
Of the bankers Of this country to cur
tail credit and distress the people to
make them submit to European die
tation. In New York you hear it at
every hand: "The people of the West
will be squeezed until they come
n
book every law which will make. it
possible for any debtor TO discharge
his obligations in snything but gold"
regret exceedingly that have not
been able to visit Nevada before this.
1t was difficult for me to leave hero
long enough to attend the TRANSMITS
Aseippi congress at Ogden. Ny en-
tire time has been taken up since the
adjournment of the congress con-
Quoting debates through the news
papers on the silver question. Among
others, haye just concluded Il debate
with Nr. HOrr, tho managing editor
of the Now York Weakly Tribune:
This debate will DO published in
pamphlet form by the Tribune us a
commercial speculation. The demand
for the Tribune containing the debate
became so large chat it exhausted tho
extra copies ordinarily published by
that journal, and the business man
a2er Of the concern is now putting it
i'll book form for general distribution.
1t gives Doth sides Of the question,
and will enable the people to judge
for themselves.
