Chamber Of Commerce Of the city of
New York, founded A. D., 1855.
ITO the Business men OF the South:
I'VE. business men Of New York who
are from the South, have business reia-
tions with the South. and are concerned
in the prosperity of the Southern states,
appeal to the people Of these States 10
take such a stand OH tine currency qucs-
tion as shall silence the accusations that
have been made against their Intelligence
and conservatism. We appeal TO you TO
resist every effort 10 precipitate a none
tary revolution as TO the results of which
even its advocates cannot agree. anu
against which the commercial classes. as
well az students of the history of hnan-
cial experiment warn you as bringing
certain disaster.
"A rise in value Of numerous products.
accompanied by an increased demand for
labor Ina manufacturing districts and for
money in financial centres foreshadows a
gradual return 10 new era OF prosperity,
unless confidence should again become
impaired by agitation from the free coin
age OF silver
THE South has every interest 20 adhere
TO the money standard of the world IL
cannot expect to be paid In IT for its
cotton If the friends OF silver succeed
in legalizlng the payments Of debts in a
deprecated metal. Your advantage lies
IN the exchange Of your products for
money which. like gold, has a stable val
ue. We therefore urge you and your
friends 10 use your influence in opposi-
tion to the dangerous doctrine Of free
| silver coinage.
