THE WAY TO LOOK All IT.

Take the United States Mexico, Cent
raj America. South America, The
Islands of the Pacific, The far east, in
cluding China, Japan, the East Indias,
all silver using nations and devoted to
the double standard, and We have
constituency which is not only able to
remonetize silver, but to maintain the
double standard until The crack of
doom. Before such a combination as
the above which is perfectly feasible,
the petty money changers of London,
Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, st. Peters
burg and Vienna would not last
twelYemonth. In the light of the per-
fectly logical and practical combina-
tion on the silver question the best
thinkers of both Europe and America
express wonder that we go on tamely
submitting to the dictation of the gold
men. 1t is indeed profound mystery
and there is no other tenable explana-
tion outside of habit. We have So
tamely submitted for SO many years
that the habit of receiving the
financial law from the gold standard
people has grown veteran one and it
is only the force of habit which in
duces us to still tamely submit. Every
reasonable probability is INCUR favor if
we would tomorrow restore silver to
its old time eq lality with gold. With
the natural backing we have named
the final outcome would not be
for one moment doubtful. Eu-
rope would be forced to come in
TO the arrangement in year, or see
her commerce split in two at stroke
so far as volume would 60, and big
advantage given US so far as profit is
concerned. We have always taken
this position and it is perfectly logical
and reasonable in every respect.
We have the means in our own
hands of forcing the double-standard
upon the world. We supply by far the
largest bulk of the provision materials
of the world and We can increase our
capacity in this way enormously when
ever the condition of the markets
makes it desirable or profitable to do
so, Thus we start with the WIN
ming cards in our own hands. Let the
peace which now prevails in Europe
be disturbed but for a day and then
will become apparent the wonderful
advantage we hold in all this. When.
ever the day comes that transporta.
ton from the steppes of Russia to the
western markets Of Europe is inter-
rupted by war, we will see the solution
OF this problem. So many years OF
peace have prevailed that the gold
standard nations have forgotten the in
tricate problem of provision supplies.
Let this peace now prevailing be dis
turbed but for a month and every idle
ship on the ocean would be called upon
to carry our provision supplies to Eu.
rope. This is no dream. 1t is a stern
AOoAAbN ohN 'OAO hhiNu ID likely
to come to pass sooner than we can
now realize. Let the new car oi
Russia throw off the pacific policy
which has SO long distinguished that
great empire, and all our dreams of the
worth of our position and productions
will become vast realities. Then our
silver allies will put belt about the
earth. Then the double stand.
ard Europe, prince and potentate, czar
and king, queen nd president, emper-
or and grand duke, will each be on his
knees asking hunbly to be taken into
the double STANDARD league of the west
and the east. If We are only true to
ourselves and true to our opportunity,
this dream will become a fair reality
before three years have rolled around.
Then every mill will be busy, every
spindle whirring, every forge at work
and the busy farmers of the west will
be taxed to their utmost to feed the
telling, fighting millions of Europe.
