Information fTem Reliable Source that
May Cause Surprise.
The United States Investor, the most
prominent and influential paper Of its
class, having publication Offices at Bos-
ton, New York and Philadelphia. prints
a weekly financial letter from London
for the information of its readers. In
the Investor for March 4, the London
fnanciaIletter contains matterfo con
siderable interest to those who have
been studying the situation in this
country. The following, for instance,
is not only interesting to our readers,
but will fairly astonish those who are
going about trying to cover up the
plundering schemes of the money pow
eF with the cant term of sound money:
The American market receives very little
attention except that the Baltimore and Ohio
railway is causing good deal of anxiety to its
English shareholders, and though repeated a.
suFanees have been given out by the american
management English investors have not got
over the shock of the Santa Fe system Of book
keeping. I was arguing the matter of AmeTi-
can securities few days ago with Mr.. Lloyd
the editor of The Statist. There is no financial
writer in England who has a more thorough
knowledge Of American finance, and though he
has the greatest faith in the future of the
United States he contends that until that
country goes on a purely silver basis OF re-
models the currency laws English capital viii
not be sent to America.
Now there is no news in the in
formation that the operations of the
British gold standard have wrecked the
Baltimore and Ohio railway, one of the
finest pieces of railroad property in the
world, but tits news, and very important
news at that, to be told that the editor
of The Statist Of London, the leading
financial journal of Great Britain de-
clares that English capital will not be
sent to America until the United States
goes on a silver basis or remodels the
currency laws.
Not very long ago The Statist was ex-
pressing surprise that the United States
did not open its m'nts to the free coin
age of silver and thus secure control
of Englands most profitable markets.
The fact did not occur to Mr.. Lloyd
that Great Britain, through the agency
of the Rothschilds and other prominent
bankers, had secured control of the
American government.
While the agents of the money power
are going up and down the country try
ing to deceive the people with the
hypocritical phrase of "sound" money,
and declaring that British capital will
not come to this country unless our
financial system is on the gold basis,
such financial students as the editor
of the London Statist are wondering
why we do not secure British capital
by going on silver basis.
As matter Of fact, the silver stand
ard seems TO have great charms for
British investors. No so very long ago
the Rothschilds of London drew $780,
100000 of our precious gold-our
"sound" money-exchanged it for de-
preciated Mexican dollars and invested
it in Mexican industries.
We think the people are coming to
understand the full meaning Of Sound"
money as employed by the agents of
the bondhOlders and gold spectators.
If their experience during the past
three years has not opened their eyes,
they deserved to be saddled with the
robber system for another term of
years,-Atlanta Constitution.
