aaE onIo THE eAME

Americans FFon'f BE Fooled n Second
Tine BY Lombard Street Brokers'
II is estimated that during the past
six months European investors, Prin-
cipally English, have resold TO this
country s57,OOO,OOO Of American seeuri-
ties at an average loss Of not less than
ten per cent. upon the prices paid for
them. The motive for this action was
unquestiOnably to discount American
credit in the interests Of the gold
standard, in the hope of thereby put
ting a quietus upon the rapid advance
Of bimetallic sentiment. The idea is
not by any means a new one, and was
worked with success previous to the
last presidential election In fact, it
has often been asserted by those who
were in a position TO know that the
financial panic of 1893 was deliberately
planned in Lombard street and exc
euted in Wall street with no other end
in view than that Of eleeting a gold
standard candidate for president in
this country.
The fact that there is no warrant of
any legitimate nature for the present
action Of European investors in IN
loading American securities is clearly
proven by the fact that almost with
out exception these investments are
now, and have been for year or more
past, returning greater dividends and
making larger interest payments than
at the time Of their purchase by the
foreigners. Furthermore, they are the
most profitable investments in the
world, and nothing whatever has Oc-
CURED, or is likely to occur, so far as
human judgment can determine, to de-
preciate their stability and worth.
The only legitimate conclusion is,
therefore, that the present selling and
continued bearing of prices is but a
repetition Of the calamity tactics of the
mOnOmetallic interest.
1t is hardly probable, however, that
the game can be successfully worked
a second time in America, and, aside
from the political features of the film
fam, it contains nothing which may be
construed as cause for alarm. On the
contrary, it affords American investors
an opportunity Of materially increas-
ing their bank account at the expense
Of the European monOmetallists, and
they have not been slow to improve the
opportunity. This process of bearing
the American market for political effect
has cost foreign holders many mil
lions Of dollars, and 1t has all gone into
the pockets of American investors, who
are exhibiting such celebrity in taking
all offerings at present depressed
prices as to cause the Lombard street
men much alarm They are beginning
to suspect a niger in the woodpile,
and to harbOr disagreeable Impressions
that perhaps the workers are them
selves being worked.
In the meantime America can con
template the game with calm satisfac-
ton. We are finding ourselves able
to take care Of all our securities, and
as long as the Europeans feel like buy
ing at a profit to US and selling at
loss to themselves II would appear that
we could manage to struggle along
It is a case of heads I win tails you
lose, which has a peculiar charm for
the shrewd Yankee investOr.-Denver

In 1872 the index number stood at

therefore simple comparison with the
index number for 1897 shows a drop in
