Work In Washington These Many Years |
with British Siiver.-A Pertinent Query |
Bearing Upon the Present Campaign.
British owners now hold q large part OF |
the silver stocks of this country, which |
produce about $1,000, 600 ounces of silver q |
year. British owners now hold nearly all |
the other productive silver mines of the
world-in Australia, Mexico, South |
America, and elsewhere. Their product,
aside from mines in this country, is 1885,
900, 900 ounces a year. The whole silver
product comes to la, ,O0O, 900 ounces, and is
increasing at recent prices. Its bullion
value Is f115, 500 900. The value to which
the slvercrat party proposes to raise II by
n force bill is 1925, 10000. Difference, or
additional profit sl1o, 200, 900 a year on the
present increasing product. That profit is
the motive force of the silvcrcrat party,
three-fourths or more in the British inter-
est. The increase OF this mostly British pro-
duct did not stop when the market price
went below 80 cents on q dollar in gold.
Why should 1t? On the official report OF
the Broken Hill mine of New South Wales,
belonging to British owners, it makes r.
OOO, 900 ounces year, besides lot Of lead.
copper and sold.
AT the market price OF silver bullion IL

years on I; capital Of less than $4,000, 90,
over $40, ,0oo, 900 in profits, of which over
s25. .OlO 900 was in gold coin, the rest in
stocks The silvercrat party, under the
direction of Mr.. T. G. Newlands. OF Ne
vida, the leader, and Mr.. w. J. Bryan, Of
the follower, proposes to double
the market value Of that bullion. That
would give the British owners OF the
Broken Hill mine an added profit on that
ono mine, in gold OF more than Sl0, ,Ooo
d year That Ia!nc produces only 10 per
cent of the worlds product, which is
mostly British. Aboat an o1ual profit
would fell to thc rest OF tie silver mines,

Under what influence have sudden con-

Under what influence have the bosses Of
the political machines been led from the

Has the permanent silver lobby of able
and unscrupaIous men been paid to work

British silver?
Who got up the book of lies entitled
Coins Financial School, and spread 1t
by millions over the country?
Have British erlissaries been working
sor years for the incidental" Issues (ses

interest?
Let these silvercrat traducers who prpee
about British gold and British influence
in support of the credit and honor Of this
nation take warning lest British silver and
Its inluence be brought home to then-
selves to their own discredit and dishonor.

words, which have put In brackets:
He who tampers with the currency robs
