WORRYING ABOUT SILVER

For a paper that believes that "silver
is dead" the San Francisco Call is de-
voting a great deal of space to unfavor-
able criticism of the bimetallic cause
and it's champions. Upon the occasion of
the recent visit of Mr.. Towne to San
Francisco it said the orators statements
hardly called for attention because the
free coinage of silver is no longer a live
issue. Nevertheless the Call, following
the precedent established by Old Grimes
hen, always laid one editorial day, and
sometimes two or three, criticising Mr..
Towne's speech, for week after it was
delivered.
1t will be interesting to note the course
of the Call and other renegade silver pa
pers in the event that the several war
clouds that now hang over the civilized
world crystalline into hostilities and
continue for an indefinite length of time.
The Shylocks of Lombard street and
Wall street will demand their pound of
gold and their policy will be such as to
make even an International bimetallist
groan. We might soon expect to find that
the "silver is dead" cry is itself in the
throes of dissolution.

no excuse for further delay. Finally Mr..
Meiklejohn agreed to take the matter
up with Secretary Alger today. We
