based upon selfishness entirely. OF course
each one is looking out for his wn inter

should we make radical change In our
currency Europe will be more or less
affected; yet the change would be re-
covered from more promptly Iii Europe.
and this country will suffer far more than
they; also that hard tinres would last
longer Recovery from such action would
be, in their judgment, very slow, and would
throw this country back among the coun-

''They believe that notwithstanding the
high rank which we now occupy,
with deprecated currency, we would
be placed on par with Mexico and other
countries where silver is the basis Of the
currency. The foreigner, also, appreciates
the fact that no small amount OF the silver
agitation is being caused by the owners
OF silver mines in this county. and they
readily believe that these mine kings
are talking more for their individual bene-
fit than for the welfare Of the country at
large.
England is particularly desirious that
we make no change In our currency. Her
people are close to us in many ways, and
while an Engiishman may be found who
would wish no harm, there are hundreds
who wish us goo !. and who would not care
to see any portion OF the Anglo-Saxon race
degrade itself by repudiating It's debts
or by legalizing n currency which would
not only stop progress, but place " on
a par with those countries who do not
now occupy a position OF first rank"
