New York, Nov 7-The stock market broadened considerably today and there was q good demand for securities throughout the session at the stock exchange.

Pay Them in Silver.

Inc best answer Congress can make
to the Presidents special financial mes
sage is the adoption of a resolution in
structing the Secretary of the Treasury
TO make payments in silver if silver is
more convenient. The Presidents
complaint is that gold is being with
drawn and that there must be Il change
in II entire financial system.
The change that should be made is in
the Presidents policy of permitting
these English ~iinancierS to designate
the Kind of money which they shall re-
ceive in payment of obligations that
call for coin" The United States has
two kinds of ~''coin.' gold and silver.
Each Is unlimited legal tender-either
IS good enough for the American citi-
zen and either should be good enough
for the English money lords.
If the President would n
change in his policy i'm this matter he
would win new expressions of good
will. If Congress will pass a resolution
instructing that this change shall be
made the administration would at least
be relieved Of embarrassment and the
people would be duly thankful.
Perhaps it would be business-like for
the United States to permit England o
drain it of its gold i'm order to place
this country in n position where it could
not well afford to maintain its nation
III honor. but we do not believe it.
Pay u English friends off in silver
if it is not convenient to a them gold.
The people OF the United States would
tolerate another issue of bonds for the
purpose of raising money by popular
loan to defray the expenses necessary
in demonstrating that the United States
must be free from British domination.
but the people of the United States will
not cheerfully submit TO another bond
issue made for the purpose Of supply
ing the English money lenders with
gold to the detriment of our W people
and the distress Of our WI country

of the line. while. still conceding me JUS

land that the lands OH the other side may
properly be taken into consideration in

Aside from the lciSurely manner in
which the Venezuelan commission is ar

The greed for gold has caused the
present stock panic, the war cloud, and
the serious position in which all the
nations of Europe and of the two Amer
lean NATIONS are now directly or indi-
rectly concerned, says the Denver
Times.
England wishes to increase her stores
of gold. and. at the risk of involving
herself in war. she claims n part of
Venezuela. where the richest gold
mines of that country are located. Her
attempted aggression in Nicaragua had
the same object in view. Her attempt
to stretch out her boundaries in Alaska
simply means that she wishes TO absorb
the gold mining sections of that coun-
try.
After President Cleveland had sent
the most patriotic and statesmanlike
message 10 Congress that has been sent
TO that body within the last three de
eades, he upsets all the good opinions
which his action had called forth by
a stupid and indefinite message to Con-
eress. asking for more gold, and giving
went to n personal and insulting TRADE
against the coinage of silver.
There Is not the slightest chance of
n war with England, but the senseless
demand for a single gold standard on
the part of President Cleveland may
throw this country into just as expen-
sive n blunder as n war with a foreign
power would he. President Cleveland
has proved himself the spectators
ibluuderer.
