There Can Be No Other Issue in
the Campaign Of go.
ALL PARTIES KNOW 1T WELL
Ex Senator John Martin Predicts Row
in the Democratic Convention
Over the Matter.

San Francisco, May 7.-Ex-Senator
John Martin of Kansas arrived In this
city yesterday. The senator, who is a
democrat, speaks in no uncertain way
on the silver question. He said:
There can not be the slightest doubt
about silver being the leading question
in the next campaign. Can you imag-
inc any other question of importance?
The tariff is out of the way If the re-
publicans can get control of the next
administration there may be little re-
vision of the tariff, but nothing essen
tial. They can not fight a campaign on
the foreign policy. That is a question
that could not become of Importance
except in time Of war Leaving these
questions out of the way and having
no local issues that can divide the party,
there is no question left but the silver
question.
'"rhe republican party will do as it al
ways has done, and will adopt a plat
form that can be read both ways. and
nominate a man to fit it. In the demo-
cratic convention they are going to have
row. The party is now practically in
regard to the silver question, just in
the position it was in 1850 in regard to
the convention will be comprised of sill
yer men, and it will adopt platform in
favor of free cionage of that metal on a
basis Of 16 TO l. and will nominate a man
in sympathy with that platform; but
not Mr.. Cleveland. He has been honest
and fair and consistent with all his
preaching. He never was a silver man.
I'm case the democrats and republi-
cans both adopt platforms and make
nominations in favor Of gold, there will
be some sort of an independent move
ment-something like the Sibley move
mentor silver and silver only, and 1
believe that the populists will indorse
1T and lay aside for the time their other
issues. If the democratic party does
not adopt platform in favor of free
coinage of silver it will not carry a sin
gle state in the Union.
Senator Morgan of Alabama told me
lately that on any other sort of plat
form the democrats would be swamped
by the populists, even in that state.
Senator Harris told me the same thing
of Tennessee. and Senator Cooper of
Georgia and Senator Daniel of Virgin

Pirates on the OH Song of international
Bimetallism.

San Francisco May 7.-Senator Gull
lom Of Illinois, who is in the city. in an
interview said:
while I believe in bimetallism and
the parity Of values Of both gold and sill
Yer, l am not so sanguine as to believe
that the United States alone can pro-
duce the desired result. We ought to
have an international agreement, which
shall establish the proper relations as to

exists will become mere cobwebs.
Much as we may wish to give silver
its equal and proper place as a money
metal, we must look to existing condi-
tons and what they demand at our

An Attempt of the Bond Syndi-
cate to Secure It.
ITS PURPOSES ARE ALL PLAIN
If a New Bond Issue Can Be Forced the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Combine
Will Own 1t

Chicago. May IA special to the Post
from Washington says:
THE discovery is made that there is
an actual basis for the report that the
Morgan-Rothschild bond syndicate is
conspiring to corner the gold market.
though the story mas been regarded as
a foolish canard. 1t is a fact, however,
that brokers representing the syndicate
have been paying a premium for the
refined gold output of the private re-
fineries throughout the west during the
last two months, and that they are ac-
cumulating fine gold at the rate of
81, 500, 900 to $4,000, 900 per month. which
represents fully two-thirds of the en-
tire gold output of the United States.
The attention of officials of the treas
ury department was first attracted to
this peculiar business by the sharp fall
ing off in the deposits of gold at the
minis, and inquiry very soon developed
that private parties were buying the
products of reiners. Further inquiry
revealed that the metal was bought and
was drifting to New York, where it Is
being put in store to the credit of the
Morgan-Rothschild syndicate.
"In order to divert the stream from
it's usual channels leading into the
United States mints, the private pur-
chasers have been obliged to pay a
premium of lis to III. The premium
paid for most Of the gold was 10 cents.
but so anxious have been the buyers
to increase their lines and get every
thing in sight that they have marked
up their quotations during the last few
days. At the present time they are get
ting practically the entire output OF the
United States. except from the extreme
western coast.
Under the terms of the contract with
the treasury department the Morgan
Rothschild syndicate has an option on
any new bonds that may be issued by
the government prior to October next.
The treasury is absolutely in their
hands until that date. If from natural
causes or through chicanery and manip-
ulation the administration is obliged
to issue another batch of bonds to main
tain the gold reserve the sale must be
made to the syndicate that took the
last issue. There is no escape from
such action. 1t was nominated spe-
officially in the contract signed by the
direction of the president.
THE clause in which the syndicate
agrees to maintain the treasury re-
serve leaves the syndicate to be the
Judge as to what it can do in the prem
ises, or what methods 1t shall adopt.
If, in the carrying out of that moral
obligation, the syndicate shall decide
that the government must issue anoth-
er 500, 900, 900 or $50, O00 900 in bonds. the
administration will have nothing to do
but comply with the terms. If the pres
ident does not want to issue any more
bonds at the dictation of the syndicate
the reserve can be practically wiped
out in ten days, and then if he should
decide in self-protection to put out
more bonds he must sell them to the
Observation-Disclosures people and nobody
else"
