A NOVEL GOLD SCHEME.

w. s. Stratton, the Cripple Creek
millionaire, says q Denver dispatch Of
the Sd inst, has an idea Of mammoth
proportions that may put in effect and
cause q surprise among the bond sellers
Of the East. Stratton proposes to form
an organization Of the gold producers Of
the West that will enable them to hold
or sell their product at the highest mar
ket price, so as to get the full benefit Of
the premium that is now sccruing to the
bond syndicate. He says that if the gold
is worth q premium to the foreigner
there is no reason why the mine owners
should not realize the value Of their yell
low metal instead Of letting it fatten the
Golfers Of some Eastern bankers.
Mr.. Stratton has not yet got his idea
n concrete shape for the public, but in
a few days after his agent has consulted
with the leading bankers he will be in a
position to tell all the details of the
scheme. To demonstrate that the gold
miners of Colorado have not been di-
vorced from free coinage, he says he may
suggest that the product Of the State be
offered direct to the Government on con-
'dition that payments be in coin-not
necessarily gold, for that would not aid
the administration in it's difficulty, but
silver would be acceptable. thus forcing
the opening Of the minis to the white
metal that has been ostracized for two
years by the Cleveland policy.
Stratton 10 . hard money man, and
thinks other gold producers will agree in
bis recommendations. for the increased
coinage of silver would mean the reopen
ing Of the silver industry of the West.
