Summing up fts review Of the. financial
possibilities. the Stasist represents the
West and South as being perfectly right
IN the view that change OF the present
system would benefit their sections OF
the Union. The effect of the change they
advocate would be q tendency to traus-
Fer property by wholesale frozn the East
and Europe 20 the West aaai South. In
fact, IL would be form OF Reputation,
and it would lower the credit OF the
United States and prevenR the free influx
of European capital. In the future. prob
ably, Europaan capitalists will always
insist upon the gold clause: Will require
a clear contract that they will be repaid
In gold. In tho event of gold deslauneti-
zation. matters viii right themselves In
the long run, but the run might be very
long. and another point Is that q great
transfer OF property would not act uni
fornly. Debts falling due soon after tho
change will be immensely reduced,
whereas debts falling due later. when
silver has risen. woalld be hess reduced,
and IL silver reached 60 pence there would
be no reduction OF debts whatever.
