tlemen OF Wall street started out the other
day on another mara uding expedition
against the people OF this country. but they
ran against snag and put back into their
harbor 10 think over the matter. Deyel
scheme was started by the Hanna outfit,
which has been fighting for it's life in
Ohio and in It's interest and the interest
Of gold II has made the silver men very
mad and they have gone in for a fight to
the finish with this goldbug administration.
This scheme on the part OF the gold power
was to alright the commercial conscience
OF the country not only into electing Mark
Hanna. but into compelling the business
men all over the country TO protest against
the Stanley Matthews resolution introduced
last week by Senator Teller and forcing
congress 10 enact some sort of legislation
favorable TO the gold trust. They were
going to do it by creating temporary
money panic and throwing things in the
commercial world into frenzy OF excite
rnent
This thing was merely a rumor at first
and was laughed al. but the fact that
such high authority as Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Vanderldp gave out IN off
cial interview TO the effect that the irsas-
ury would not contribute 10 any stldnsency
in the money market, but would exert
every influence IN its power to prevent
panic, gave confirmation TO the rumor taat
this Wall street plot was actually in course
Of construction. They We're playing on a
dead card however, when they unlcr
took TO score Teller. lie not only intro
duoed the Stanley Matthews resolution,
but Allen OF Nebraska introduced a free
coinage resolution and Teller then pro-
ceeded TO make an attack on the admins

Of an agent for one of New Yorks big
financial houses here on the morning when
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip's interview
came cut, was shown the following dispatch
from this big house;
Owing TO the impending defeat OF

Teller 10 introduce the Stanley Mai
thews resolution in the senate coupled
with the signed editorial of Sen1Gor
Chandler that appeared in this morn
ing's paper, the street is in a disturbed
condition and values are seriously AZ
+ fected."
This is the best sort Of circunstantial
evidence OF this plot to again disturb val
ues in this country and shows The init
mate connection between this sdministra-
tiun and the money kings of Wall street
II also shows that Or. Chauncey Depew's |

fifty men in Wall street could stop the |
wheels of commerce and the spndles i'll
