Mr.. Gladstone IN House nj Commons;
81 suppose there is not year which
passes over our heads which does not
largely add to tho mass of British in
vestments abroad. am almost afraid
to estimate the total amount of
the property which the United King
dom holds beyond the limits of the
United Kingdom. One thousand mil
lion, probably, would be an extremely
low and inadequate estimate. Two
thousand millions or something even
more than that is very likely to be
nearer the mark. think under those
circumstances it is rather a serious
matter to ask this country to consider
whether we are going to perform this
supreme act of self-sacriiicc. have n
profound admiration for cosmopolitan
principles. 1 can go great length in
moderation in recommending their
recognition and establishment, but if
there are these two thousand millions
or fifteen hundred millions of money
which we have got abroad, it is very
serious matter as between this country
and other countries. We have nothing
to pay to them; We are not debtors at
all; We should get no comfort, no con.
ISOLATION out of the substitution Of an
inferior material, of cheaper money.
which we could obtain for less and

no consolation, but the consolation

= .yeuator .Ste,cart,-A test is now
about to be made. The repeal of the
Sherman act will establish the gold
standard throughout the world and
preclude the possibility of ever obtain
inp bimetalism. The efforts of the
bondholders to dcmonetizc one of the
precious metals and to contract the
worlds money to one or the other of
the metals for the purpose of enhanc
ing the value of obligations have been
desperate. After the bondholders had
confiscated the property of England by
RESUMPTION of specie payment and
compelling the people to pay three or
four times as much as they promised
TO nav, they forced England to take
gold alone. When gold was discovered
In California and Australia the bond
holders of the continent desired to de-
monetize gold because they feared that
gold would become the plentier metal
But England told them that they were
mistaken, that the large output would
be only temporary. when it became
manifest that silver would be as plen-
tiful as gold the bondholders of the
continent Joined England and through
Vaccinations and trickery excluded
silver from the mints of the United
States and Europe. Does anybody
suppose that when they have accom-
plished their purpose at the great labor
and cost which they have expended
they will allow us to undo their work?
If we cannot hold what we have, does
anybody suppose that we can get Mr..
Cleveland after the Sherman act is re-
pealed to sign free coinage bill or any
bill which will recognize the use of
silver a. money? No."

Senator .Seuari:- "The laws of
France and Germany make it discre-
tionary to redeem their paper money
in gold or silver coin. They protect
their gold by refusing to pay out for
export, but answer those who demand
gold for export by offering them silver
and thus maintaining the parity of the
two metals France has more than
twice as much silver as the United
States per capita, and maintains the
parity of gold and silver at the rate of
Sl.33 an ounce for silver by using sill
yer as money and refusing to pay out
gold for export. The United States
alone of all the nations of the earth
accommodates exporters of gold to the
injury of her own people. Mr.. Cleye-
land cannot attribute this to the Sher
man act and he was careful To omit the
mandatory provision requiring the
secretary of the treasury to coin silver
to provide for the redemption of the
notes"

General A. j. Warner of Ohio
The object lesson, therefore, so far
as is intended is different one from
that which the gold conspirstors in
tend, as it enables them to see the
beginning Of the shrinkage of prices
that will take place in order to go to a
gold basis. One thing, however, will
not shrink, evidences of debt; they
must be paid in the same number Of
dollars though the dollars be doubled
IN value. If the worlds wealth be
$500, 600, 600, 900 and its debts 800
900, O00,OO0 it is easy to see what
doubling the dollar means. 1t is play

Allen G.. Thurman Of Obio.-"l
hear them talking about this national
law, and that government policy as the
cause of the money stringcncy. How
ridiculous and absurd that is, when
one knows that this financial string
oncy prevails not alone in the United
States, but in every nation in Europe,
in Asia and in South America. Talk
about the Sherman law Has that
caused the commercial depression in
Turkey in Europe and the financial
stringency in India2 What nonsense
this talk about the Sherman law is. |
do not pretend to understand this mat
ter thoroughly, however; but if in
other nations that are not coming sill
yer as we are there exists now the
same financial stringcncy that we are
experiencing mere now, II ought TO
suggest itself to any candid person
that, perhaps, our coinage laws may
not be the sole cause of the financial
crisis here, if, indeed. there is remote
relation between the two.
