A FINANCIER'S VIEW.

This Country Could Act Independently and
Successfully In Establishing BimetaI-
iism.
The New York Independent recently
published the views of several leading
nnancial writers, both gold standard
ana 1ree coinage. Among the articles
on plmetallism was one from the pen
of William p st. John, the successful
New York city bank president and
tinancier, who has written some very
able articles for leading papers from a
free silver standpoint. This paragraph,
coming from one of the leading bank
ers of the country, is worthy of con-
sideration:
THE happy achievement predicted
for ideal bimetallism would depend
for its certainty on the one indisputa-
bic fact of history, to wit, that the
world has never been afflicted with
too much gold and silver money. The
excess of the supply of gold and
silver over the requirements of the
arts and Asia would be without en-
ployment, except as money. This ex-
cess would be effectually money with
out the coming of it at all, and at the
coming price. The arts and Asia would
be supplied at the coming price at min
imum. Hence, whether few nations or
single great nation could achieve the
like result under the law of bimetal-
lism, adopted independently, would
depend on what supply of the more
abundant metal would seek conversion
into the money at the coming price.
IL the mints of the United States
offered unlimited coinage for silver
into our present standard silver dol
lars, while continuing our offer of un-
limited coinage for gold at 25 8 grains
standard to the dollar, gold would con-
tinue to seek conversion into the
money of the United States for as long
as the amount of silver seeking the
same was deficient of the aggregate in
crease of money which our people, do
mestically, could proftably use"
President St. John closes his article
with this declaration:
My research of the experience of
France, of the experience of the Unit
ed States, of the influence of these ex-
periences on the world at large, sat
lsty me that conditions present and
seemingly prospective warrant an al

The tactics of the gold-bugs are not
such as to inspire confidence in their
friends or to awaken admiration in the
breasts of the neutral. Much sport
has been made by their organs of the
method which has been adopted by the
hidalgo who is doing the Cid Campea-
dor act SO insignificant in Cuba. His
belief that he is suppressing the insur-
rectlon by using his blue pencil and
suppressing unfavorable war news. has
been the foundation for no end of al
legged humor. Are the tactics of our
friends, the enemy, awakening any
more respect2 When they assure their
followers that an overwhelming revo-
luton against silver in Mississippi has
taken place, and that assertion in a
short time is proven to be fake with
big f; when they assert that that
revolution has extended to Georgia.
and the declaration turns out to be as
fictitious as Weems's little hatchet
story of Washington; when they rub
their palms together unctuously and
write with flourish as important as
the philosopher who has evolved from
his brain some divine, humanitv-bene-
hting idea, that the sentiment of silver
is dying or dead, and then continue To
tight the sentiment with the despera.

does the public think? Naturally, it
concludes that Gen. Campos is the pro-

America.
