bring about a change in England
that will be ruinous from itssudden-
ness and severity. The damage that
can be done British manufacturers
by a protective tariff is slight COM
pared with the disasters that would
be entailed by a change from a
single gold to complete bimetallic
standard.
"The success of free coinage will
bring down tho rate of interest on
money, and cause an immediate rise
in the price Of all commodities.
When silver becomes primary
money the American mines will
pour their products into the minis
and a new era similar to that pro-
duced by the issue of greenbacks
during the civil war will begin.
Gold will leave the banks and enter
into competition with silver in the
avenues of trade, and the manufac-
tories which have been crippled
since 1892 will again resume their
fight for the English market.
at matters not to Great Britain
which party succeeds if the gold
standard is maintained, but either
of the old parties or a new party
which goes into power pledged to
free coinage will be inimical and
prejudicial to English manufacture s
and trade.
"The American people are mass
ing now on free silver. When that
issue comes fairly before the Amer
lean people, England will regret
her apathy and adherence to the
single gold standard.

ENCL.AND'S FEAR!
How Denocracy's Success will Affect Britain.
A Most Remarkable Article That All
Americans Should Read.
London Financial News Of March

"The financial situation in the
United States is very serious. The
condition of affairs in the United
States Congress demands the imme-
date attention of British fnanciers
and statesmen. The trade Of the
world is now in our hands, but it
will not long remain there if the
United States goes TO q bimetallic
basis with free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
with the addition of silver to
the volume of money, everything in
America would take on new face;
labor and industry would gain new
life. The grip OF the gold standard
on the products of the world would
be loosened and prices would rise.
Great Britain would lose her mar
kets in South America, Asia and
Europe, and American ships would
not be long in capturing the carry
ing trade OF the world.
British creditors mast now apply
themselves quickly to the American
money problem. The American
people are now thoroughly aroused
and educated on the power and use
Of money, and made desperate by
iebt and business depression, they
ire forcing free silver as the main
ssue."
"Great Britain need feel no injury
20 her trade or investments if the
Republican party can force pro
ection tariff as the main issue in
he coming presidential campaign,
put if silver dominates the American
mind and carries at the polls, it will
