received from London:
Il am looking somewhat anxiously te

will be no falteriug in the resolve to main-
tain the gold unit of value. So far from
depreciating the intrinsic value OF silver
bullion, believe the cessation of storage
and accumulation Of stock will help the
market price for this commodity. rs it
would help any other commodity. What
ever future steps may be taken, u present
step ending the purchase Of silver bullion
under the sherman act is of the plainest
duty aud necessity. Green spectacles put
upon donkey are reported to have in
duced him to eat shavings instead OF
grass, but il WIS not sustaining diet
THE intrinsic value of gold makes IL
the he st standard and measure of the unit
