noWing back to America from foreign holders
since 1880 has largely subsidized, at least for
the time being, and there Is not as much of
drain from here on that account. The high
rate of interest paid in the New York market
for call leans during the past few weeks
mas attracted foreign capital from centers
where the interest rates have been much
lower. This popularity was also very marked
during August Of 1898, at the height of the
currency panic, when the ruling rates of
interest were ahnormalIy high. and large
amounts OF money were loaned from abroad
and the gold coin sent to this country.
The contraction In the active currency is
caused by the large increase in the balance
of the United States treasury arising from
the bond issues, and from the boarding Of
gold and the notes redeenlable in geld which
some time, in view of possible failure OF
the United States to continue their redemp-l
ton In gold. The critics who talk so freely
about importing fifty millions of gold for
effect, from the other side Of the ocean do.
not seem to realize the Importance of such
transaction. and that there must be value
exchanged for ii, either in the shape OF
exports or securities, or in some other way.
1t will be seen from the published names of
the parties who receive the gold imported that
they are mainly the dealers in exchange or
houses, or institutions having foreign connec-
tions, and that the national banks except as
institutions to receive the deposits Of their
customers, are not at all interested, except
in the case of one two OF the larger who
have regular London correspondents with
whom they do an exchange business.
1t must not be forgotten that the confidence
in the situation which has placed the country
in its present satisfactory condition regarding
Its gold reserve, was largely due to the ef-
forts OF the bankers OF New York in the
early summer. The fact of their agreeing

bring about artifcaly that which we now
Know is logical result from natural causes,

ditfons prevailed and the situation cured
itself. According to the published reports
during April, May. June July and the first
week in August. while gold was being export
ed, theNrates of sterling sight exchange at
New York have ruled from 81 .SS1b to 81. .90A
and during the last Of August and up to the
present time, while imports of gold were
being made, they have ranged from $4 8s2z to

would examine the daily reports and see
who Withdrew or imported the gold and what

known before in this country, there are
still great many voters whose opin-
ion Is so recent and whose views are
founded upon facts so freshly acquired
that they are open to overthrow by
sAillful assailant II this element of
the vote We're to be turned solidly in
one direction or the other, it would de-
termine the event. 1t is not yet too
late for the wrong. side to win. There
is still time foN the right cause, by
throwing down it's arms and resting
on the field, to lose all that it has won.
There is, consequently, a possibility
that over-confidfnGe might yet lead to
disaster.
1t is-against this that every warn
ing should be directed from this time
until the Sd of November Most of the
friends of honest money hold that the
battle s1ssalfeadNtwon, and are so firmly
convinced of the surety of success that
they cannot conceive of possible
change to come within the next two
weeks To such persons it is well to
offer the reminder that a good general
takes no chances of surprises; that
man whose honor and whose home are
at stake does not rest satisfied until
the 'renotest chance Of danger has
passed by. There ought to be just as
hard work, just as effective work and
just as thorough work done for the
next two weeks as at any time during
the campaign. Nothing is yet decided,
and indifference or neglect will have
It's erect. The battle has been nobly
fought. t.nothing be risked by over
confidence, even by those whose belief
that success is certain cannot be
shaken.

kLETNSCHMIDT's OFFER.
He Goes Into an Elueiaation Of

1t.
To the Editor of the Globe.
IN your paper Of the I'd inst. I notice a
criticism referring to my offer of the purchase
Of siVoGoo worth Of silver at $1.10 per ounce,
after Mr. Bryan, as president of the United
States, has signed a free and unlimited coin
eSe law at a ratio of 16 to l. Your criticism
IS not fair, for the reason that my offer con-
templates that | will pay 10 cents per ounce
more for silver than it lis worth at present
1t is true that there is a large margin be-
tween $l.10 and the coming value of $129 at
the ratio of 16 to /, but [ am a merchant de-
slrlng to make profit, and no doubt for a.
short time after the free and unlimited coin
age will exist at the ratio of 16 to L there
VIII probably be a small premium on gold
Tor the reason that there are yet a good
many contracts in existence, made by the
Eastern bankers and insurance companies
where they have loaned money on mortgages
in the West, where the interest and principal
is payable in gold, and these will have to be
liqufdated in accordance with the contract
However, after free and unlimited coinage
law, ana law preventing special contracts
IN United States dollars, to be expressed in
gold. will be passed such premium will dis
appear, especially our importations of
merchandise from single standard gold coun-
tries Will decrease rapidly, and no doubt bv
this decrease, we may look for some of these
single standard countries to change their
laws so that they may continue to receive
some OF the American plums. 1t was my in
tentlon, when making the offer, to be well
covered for any contingency, and also that
may make a good, fair and legitimate profit
out OF the transaction. I regret to state that
so far, no one has accepted my offer in any
substantial manner. although 1 received a
message from Memphis, which reads as fol-
lows:
Two solvent bankers here offer 200 900
American standard silver dollars, deliverable
within six months after Bryan's election and
passage Of free coinage law, at 70 cents on
the dollar in gold. Satisfactory bonds by
both parties. Do you want to trade? I am
a silver man and wish to see them buried
To which answered as follows:
Proposition accepted. Detail instructions
by mail Any quantity will be accepted on
similar offer" And l followed my telegram
up with letter requesting these solvent
bankers to place their forfeit with the Amer
lean National Bank of Helena (whose presi-
dent is Mckinley Republican,; yet they
have failed to make good what / believe was
a bluff, especially so, as they offer me more
silver for my money than my offer contem-
plated, and solvent bankers usually do not
operate in this manner. Truly yours

TT is NOT EXPLAINED.

Our esteemed contemporary. the At
lanta Constitution, rushes into the
breach with lively answer to the
question which we have already pro-
pounded as to the cause of the diver
genee between the price of wheat and
that OF silver Ever since the free COIN
age agitation began, silverites have
told the country that wheat and silver
go up and go down in company that the
rise or fall of the one is due to the same
causes as the rise or fall of the other,
ana hence that the farmer could never
expect-better wheat prices until silver
stood higher in the market. Recent
events have knocked the bottom ont
OF thls whole argument. With wheat
advancing 13 cents a busheI in all.
while the price of silver continued to
decline, there is not much left of that
foolish assumption. How. then, is the
departure of wheat and silver to be
explained? The Constitution is NOT
AFRAID to try it., Your thoroughgoing
Tree silver advocate is not afraid of
anything The Constitution's expIana-
ton is one of the funniest things in
the whole funny programme of these
nat money people. 1t says:
But the. explanation lies on the surface
me Daily Financial News of New York NOT
long ago called attention to the fact that the
yalue OF Argentinian currency was rising
as compared with the British pound sterling,
OF, Wnat IS the same thing that the val1te of
gold was declining with respent To ArTa1,tio-
ian currency. In other words the eold nrn
tnlull, measured IN the paper currency of Ar
gentlna, has declined from 400 to 26O
This is worthy of Capt. Jack Runsbv
himself. The currency of the Argentine
is not silver and has nothing on the
lace OF the whole earth to do with
silver 1t is paper money with a, prom
1se OF gold redemption behind it. some
time and somewhere. Now. eryyhe,, tba
sllVer1te is asked why silver has fallen
and wheat risen, a conjunction which
he has always declared to be innossi-
ble, he answers that the gold premium.
on the paper currency of the Argentine
republic has fallen There could NOT
possibly be an answer more deliciouslv
laughable. 1t is exactly as if you
asked man why railroads are now
able to transport products more chean-
~ than formerly, and he were to reply
that there had been a slight retarda
ton in the movement of one of the
satellites of the planet Jupiter.

country has there been such an utter
power of one man to control the politi-
cal action of another as at the present
moment. None but the very base would
direct their employees how to vote If
they could. The suspicion of such a
thing is resented with equal indigna-
tien by both capital and labor. And
back of 1t all stands the utter alb
surdity of the thing. because of it's i'm
possibility. Suppose any employer
were weak enough to try to force his,
views upon his employees in this
fashion. All that they need to do is
to join sound money clubs, wear ye:-.
low ribbons. march in parades, retain
the good will of those upon whom they
and vote precisely as they please, with
the certainty that none can ever be
the wiser.
Thus while the other propositions of
Mr.. Bryan have awakened opposition
and been answered by protest, this one
contains it's own refutation. 1t is not
untenable, like his free silver theory,
or criminal, like his arraignment of
social classes. 1t is just simply fool
ish. 1t is not worth talking about, be-
cause it is something that cannot hap
pen. A man cannot eoerce another
into doing an act when there exists no
means by which he can ever find out
whether that act-~was performed or
not. There yet remain two weeks of
the campaign in which Mr.. Bryan may
search for still a fourth issue to patch
up some of the holes that failure and
folly have made~in the other three.
