Should this transaction be cODsummated
it would probably be difficult to find in the
United States man or woman who would
regret 10 hear of the departure Of the great
treasure feet on its way to England with
its cargo of silver bars soon 10 be con-
verted into coin for circulation.
AMI in another light do the friends of
the measure consider it. Lying in the
mint to-day are thousands Of pounds of
ba siives So much that IL cannot be coined
into money for. Eve years. There it lies

/ am delighted" said he yesterday.
st az THE CALL is TO bring it bofnre the
pt bic. l have besn.in frequent converse
with Mr.. Cutter on the subject. and am
convinced that he has solved the problem.
The measure strikes me favorably from
every point of view. The acquisition of
British Columbia would be great boon to
this nation ana would perfect 4 wonderful
coast line. The territory is bound TO be
ours in time, and | see no reason why the
time has not come, especially as the land
can be secured in a peaceful way and in
manner that will prove a blessing to the
people. The financial argument is sound.
The releasing of this silver is a neces-
sity, and it has been 4 pulling
question for many year. To exchange il
for valuable territory Is just the thing.
Then this idea Of interchangeable money
is worthy one in itself. | like the plan
and will do all l can to further it. We
need a monetary union. and this will prove
a step and big one in this direction. Mr..
Cutter is a close student and a thorough
political economist. HIS words deserve
close attention, and l am sure they will
command 1t. Yes, | am very glad he has
decided to at last bring the matter to the
attention of the public. and | hope THE
CALL will do all in its power to further
the matter and give it publicity"
Jerome Lincoln, as was stated before, is
the man who urged the immediate action
on the part of Mr.. Cutter. 81 consider the
bill wise one" said he. land believe
that il in many ways will relieve the
strained situation. i can see no argument
against il and hope the measure will meet
popular approval. which it certainly de-
serves"
Colonel John P. Jackson. assistant
Treasurer of the United States. who is a
born fnancier, said: "Mr Cutter has
solved the silver problem, in my opinion,
and | believe IL a wise measure for he and
his friends in Congress TO let the subject
be discussed by the public a short
time before it is taken up In the
bdltS VI lckiSihNlObs OO mduy HBdS-
ures are sprung upon the people
and adopted before they are thoroughly
understood that l deem the method fol-
lowed in this case To be splendid one,
even if it is unique. Congress will know
when the bill is introduced just what the
public pulse is. l hope the newspapers of
the land will discuss the subject thor.
oughly and that meE who have studied the
financial question will express their views"
Acting upon this suggestion THE CALL
asks students of political economy and
men who have carefully examined the
great financial problem and also those
VINO are merely interested in IL, but be-
cause OF business cares have not been
aole TO go as deeply into the subject-mat-
.eF as they may have wished, to write 20

can be obtained.
O'ei t"e wires under the ocean yester-
DAY flashed the news that the Rering Saa
case had been decided. Thus the last
diplomatic question is out of tho vav and
new negotiations can be opened with
Great Britain. What mora onnor.,,Da
