The lG 10 FREQ silver men have
always grown most tempestiaus in
their oluQucnce when denouncing |
bankers in general and the Rothschilds
in particular as gold bugs, They have
grown very red in the face when assert
ing that il was u mark Of financial
bondage to England for this country to
refuse TO adopt free silver schemes.
They have talked very much as il they
contemplated going to war with Eng
land to wiring permission from her for
this country to so on silver basis.
Tho New York Evening Post" makes
merry with the silver shouters in the
following editorial;
The silverites of this country will he
COMPOUNDED 10 learn that the Roths-
childs are bimetallists Whether onr
Western friends will be pleased or
shocked by this information we shall
not attempt TO predict, hut we fancy
that they will find some difficulty in
swallowing all the hard things they
have said about this hateful house,
who arc always "cornering gold" and
making money dear in order that they
may suck the blood of borrowers all
over the world The information that
they are not gold bugs is printed in
the " independent" and comes from 20
less an authority than President AM
drews, who quotes it from the 'tSatur-
| day Review. Worse and worse, Mr.
Andrews says it is q mistake to sup
pose that tho banking interest in Lon
don is solid for gold; "London
bankers are among the most enthusiastic
propagandists of bimetalism. Even
this does not tell the whole story.
Great Britain is marching to bimetal.
lism just as fast as could be expected.
English farmers are being ruined by
the gold standard, and they know it.
British merchants trading with silver
| countries find their capital invested
there reduced by one half, " and their
present trade with those countries ia
| either ruined or made mere matter of
gambling. Yet it appears that they
are such fools as to continue il. All
this leads us to ask, What can be de-
pended on? Must we take back all
that we have been saying all these
years about Lombard Street and Ernest
Seyd and the millions raised abroad to
bride Congress to commit the crime of
1873? Is there any sure foundation for
anything? Ii the Rothschids and the
London bankers are no longer to serve
as a target for Bland and Bryan, Black
burn and Hardin, Jones and Stewart
and the rest, whore shall they look for
one? May not Wall street be the next
to fail them?
We fear that President Andrews will
lose caste with the silver men of Colo
RADIO If he deprives them of their favor
lite enemies in this fashion. We shall
expect to hear Bland or Weaver calling
upon him for proof that the Roths-
childs are not gold bugs. And as for
Lombard street and Great Britain in
general, We expect TO hear from Harvey
very soon. He told us that Great Brit
ain waa AN octopus, that her tentacles
extended to all the countries on the
globe, and that she was forcing the
gold standard on them because that
was the kind of stuff she liked to draw
from their vitals, and that If we should
go to war with her in order to recover
Our right to use silver, it would be the
most popular war ever waged on the
face of the earth. lie told us also that
she yields only 10 force. And now
comes President Andrews, and he tells
us that England yields to persuasion /:
that bimelallism is conquering now
ground there everyday; that "mauy
British labor organizations have es-
poused bimetallism and use their vot-
ing power in its favor;' that the
new House Of Commons greatly ok
cecds its predecessor in bimetallist
members, most Of whom are pledged to
support an attempt to secure the settle
