claim to have actually found a speech
delivered by Mckinley once upon a

ENaLANn.s POSITION.

The English press frequently boasts
of the way she has bulldozed the I'm
tied States into adopting gold stand
ard thus impoverishing the American
perple for the benefit of England, but
it has not been until lately that any
fear by the British was manifested that
the American people are becoming
awakened to the situation and may yet
reInstate silver which would ruin Brit
ish trade and build up American trade.
Among the tairest and most brief dis
cu5sions of the gold basis, by
English journal, as to how 1t
affects England and the United States,
is one of recent date in the London
Financial News. 1t proves what Peo-
pies party statesmen have sad from
the beginning and thoroughly confirms
what Is being constantly asserted in
the POpulist papers. This is fresh from
England not from the pen of a calamity
bowler, and hence can be safely read
by an American goldbug We publish
it below and hope that all our gold mo-
nometallic readers for we know we
have a few Will scrutiniZe 1t carefully.
linen If, after such reading, they con-
| time TO be gold-bugs, let them admit
that their hearts are with England and
foreign to America:
There can be no doubt about it,
that if the Omitted States were to adopt
silver basis TO mOrrow British trade
would be ruined before the year was
out. Every American industry would
be protected, not only at home but in
every other market in the world. Of
course the United States would suffer
to some extent, through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold, (but not
more so than now but the loss of ex-
change under this head would be but
a mere drop III the bucket compared
with the profits to be repayed from the
markets of South America, Asia, and
even Europe. The marvel is that the
United States has not long ago seized
the opportunity, and but for the Relief
that the way of England is necessarily
the way to commercial success and pros
perity, undoubtedly it would have been
done long ago.
Now, Americans are awakening to
the fact that 80 long as they narrow
their ambition to become larger Eng
land, they cannot beat u.s.
1T has been piece of luck for us
that it has never occurred to the Amer
leans to scoop us out OF the worlds
market by going on silver basis; and
it might serve us right if, irritated by
the contemptuous apathy of our gcv-
eminent, to the gravity of the silver
problem, the Americans retaliate by
freezing out gold. 1t would be easily
done, and we propose shortly to show
by evidence collected from perfectly
appropriated sources. that even now
the process has begun and is proceed
ing at a rate that will astonish many
people, and probably make this coun.
try regret that it did not at an earlier
stage fashion its monetary policy on
principles of friendliness to other Ma.
tlons.instead of on basis of short.

AS to future course, the Colonel
says he hopes to join forces with the
movement after the St. Louis conven-
ton on July 22nd, in the only party
that recognizes free silver. Mr.. L.
