WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.
The silver Senator Thinks All Will
Yet be Well for the White Metal.
UNITED STATES SENATE,

visited New 1Ork Guy ana SpenG Gnree
days among the bankers and brokers.
The European investors in this coun-
try in bonds and other securities are
making most aggressive war against
the people of the United States. They
control the banks of New York be-
cause they employ them to do their
business. The great banks of that
city are mere investors and collectors
on foreign account. They all 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 be 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
money and we must depend on Eu-
rope. The present financial distress
is mainly owing to the concerted &C
ton of the bankers of this country to
curtail credit and distress the people
to make them submit to European di-
cation. In New York you hear it at
every hand: "The people of the West
will be squeezed until they come to
terms and wipe from the statue book
every law which will make it possible
for any debtor to discharge his obiga-
tions in anything but gold"
l regret exceedingly that have not
been able to visit Nevada before this.
It was difficult for me to leave here
long enough to attend the trans Miss
issippi Congress at Ogden. My entire
time has been taken up since the adj
journment of the Congress conducting
debates through the newspapers on
the silver que stion. Among others,
have just concluded debate with Mr..
Horn, the managing editor of the New
York Weekly Tribune. This debate
will be published in pamphlet form
by the Tribune as commercial specu-
lation. The demand for the Tribune
containing the debate became so large
that it exhausted the extra copies or
dinarily published by that journal,
and the business manager of the con-
Germ is now putting it in book form
for the general distribution. 1t gives
both sides of the question, and will
enable the people to judge for them
solver.
do not know that it will be posi-
BILE for me to find time to visit Nevada.
l do not suppose it is necessary for
me to return home as a missionary in
the silver cause. You are all right.
1t is better for me to be in communi-
ties where they need education. There
will be an extra session of congress
early: perhaps by the 1st of September,
and my time will be occupied in stir
ing up the friends of silver and pro-
viding for prompt and vigorous action.
l do not know what the gold kings
may be able to accomplish with their
control of the press and unlimited
money for lobby purposes, but I do
not believe they can buy majority of
each house of Congress, which is ne
cessary to carry out their schemes. If
Senators and members could vote their
real sentiments there would be at least
two-thirds vote in each house in
favor of free coinage. The gold men
now pretend to believe that they will
repeal the Sherman act and blot from
the statute book every recognition of
silver as money. | do not believe it
can be done. Every silver man that
goes over to the gold side will be
marked man for the balance of his
days, and he never will be able to
make his friends, to say nothing of
his enemies, believe that his change
was not the result of corrupt in
fluences.
Tell the people of Nevada to stand
firm in the right. I believe we will
