Financial Question Not Settled by the
Defeat Of MI. Bryan.

Financial Question Not Settled by the
Defeat OF Mr.. Bryan.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24-Ex- Gov.
ernor Horace Holes of Iowa, who has
been sojourning in Southern California
for some weeks past, on the advice Of
his physician, is here. His stay will
be short, for he intends going directly
home via Ogden, the latter part of the
week.
1.-THE financial question in this coun-
try" he said in the course of short
interview, sis by no means settled.
The defeat of Bryan has not crushed
and shattered the question of free sill.
yer. McKinley's election did not mean
that the people of the United States
were opposed to free silver. The PEG.
pie Of this country want gold and
silver together as standard money.
They will reach that end in some way
or another before many years. The
defeat of Mr.. Bryan does not mean
that the people are opposed to having
silver go hand in hand with gold, as
the basis of our American financial
system"
Governor Boies believes that trusts
and combines should be wiped out of
existence.
''The protective tariff the Mckinley
administration is now preparing" he
went on to say, twill not restore good
tiwes. believe better times are COM
ing. The Republicans will say their
high tariff was the cause of the better
times, but such action will be logically
incorrect. Better times have always
followed our panics, regardless of tar
ifs, but prosperity will not be perma-
nent until our financial system is
changed to give silver proper recogni-
ton as a standard money, along with
GOLD -

Bryan's Mistaken Policy.

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
a great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion of the silver question at this
time? It is nearly four years until the
next presidential election, and the peo-
pie can learn a whole lot about silver
and the effect of cheap money upon
wages and savings in four years. They
learned much that Bryan didn't want
them to know during the four short
months of the last campaign. 1t is no.
ticeable that in the states where the ques-
ton was most discussed the MAORI
ties against Bryan were heavy or his
majorities were unexpectedly small.
If the silverites will think of the great
amount of work done in the states west
of Pennsylvania, east of Colorado and
north of Tennessee and reflect upon the
result of the election, they will, if they
are wise and want to win in 1900, con-
clude to drop educational work and to
proceed ON some less dangerous line. If
Bryan and his friends would stop talk
ing about silver for three years, it would
be difficult for the ''goldbugs'' to get
people to listen to their convincing argu-
ments. If ouAhard times should unfor-
tunately continue, Bryan might step out
a few days before the 1900 election and
say, 81 told you so, % and a majority of
the voters, without having given the
matter much thought, might conclude
that perhaps the ''crime of 1878" was
responsible for the lack of prosperity
But if they study the question for four
whole years they will be certain that
neither silver nor any kind of cheap
money ever brought prosperity to any
country, though they have often brought
hard times The wage earners will un-
derstand that 16 to 1 is an underhandec
scheme to lower wages and the farmers
that they cannot, by juggling with cheap
money, get any advantage of the rest of
the world in the matter of prices Of farm
products. This educational work must
be stopped short, or the cause of free
silver is lost

If small national banks are to be en-.
oouraged in the mere sparsely settled
portions of the country, the question
arises whether they should be purely
local organizations or branches Of the
great metropolitan banks. The old Unit
ed States bank had branches which, by
virtue of their connection with large
central institution, had some advan-
tages over the local banks with which
they competed, but were in more than
one instance the objects of adverse state
legislation. This spirit of local hostility
to bank located in another city, and
perhaps another state, left memories
which still survive and which account
in part for the opposition to branch
banks
But the experience Of England and
Scotland, Canada and Australia, is
strongly and uniformly in favor of large
central banks with many branches. The
banks of Canada are able to maintain
singular uniformity in the rates of in
terest in the great commercial centers
and in the remote agricultural regions

ronto have their branches in Manitoba
and the Pacific region and can transfer
the surplus capital of one locality to
meet the deficiency in another as it can
not be done by wholly independent
banks The conditions in Canada are
very much like those Of the United
States, and the success Of the Canadian
banks in doing what we recognize the
Importance of having done is entitled to
great weight in our considerations. In
Scotland it is we'll known that the
branch system has greatly favored those
agricultural interests which in our own
country are so much in need of financial
accommodation.
The preponderance of financial testi-
mony is decidedly in favor of the branch
system, most of the opposition to which
comes, or would come, from local fnan-
cial interests, jealous of strong outside
competition. There is feeling of dis
trust of all banks which is born Of ig-
norance It increases rapidly with the
increase of banks capital and the ex-
tension of it's operations. which are sup

No Free Silver Bimetallism.

The free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, when it does not preserve its parity
with gold, cannot be condition in true
bimetallism because in it's effects it is
directly antagonistic to the system.
Whenever practiced, it always results il,
monometallism, and silver at that. Such
is the case now in all silver countries,
as Mexico and China, and such was the
case in the United States in the 40 years
prior to 1884.
