i,lends yensrallyy Why. we shan't he able
10 nav any. It Ia perfectly plain case.
Tying down everything to this steadily
shrinking gold basis means nothing more
or less than slow but long continued and
merciless contraction of values.
.sWell, who can make money on fall
ing markets have tried it. We had in
our bank s54 900 In good clean cash when
the scare began and good gilt edged paper
enough to pay all demands and good
deal more, but what did it signify! The
people thought our paper was of no nc.
count, and for immediate purposes It was
not. We couldn't realize on it. They crowd.
ed in on us, withdrew their deposits, swept
away our margins and shut us up. Now
come along the Democrats and propose IN
addition to destroy some Of our best indus
tries, to take whack at our timber, and
our sheep, and our lead, and our coal, and
hand over what little ptofit we have to
those fellows Just over the line in British
Columbia, When they do it, we shall be
fat on our backs, of course. But we shan.
stay there. Well get uphnd do something.
We can stand 1t because we have the re-
sources. But these eastern fellows will
howl for their dividends and wish the
thing was to do over again. You hear mel"
