W have no doubt that be I slocwre in hi belief. This is demonstrated by the fact that he deliberately preached in favor of the gold standard, and at the same time tried to carry on a productive In dustry under It operation. 11 wa president of a bank, and at the same ' . , J 111 lime owner 01 a papwr ana uuiu huh, The securities of this mill, which were gilt edged when he negotiated them, be came a part of tbe asset of hi bank: but under tb operation of tbe gold tandard, money kept on growing "sounder" than the products 01 hi mm. At first tbe paper made by the mill could be aold for io cent a pound, but th price ba fallen to les than 1 cent. Money has grown o much sounder than tbe product of tbe mill that the latter will not command one-ulth a much of tbe former as it did when tbe securities were taken up by the bank. Naturally the depreciation of tbe pro duct was followed by a depredation of the securities, so that tbe bank, by hitching it fortune to productive In rinstrv has been drained down. It I a grievous misfortune, but it Is only one of tbe myriad object lesson wnicn ine ap nrBciation of money under the gold Htandard ha given the public ad oppor tunity totudy, ' The day before the bank of which Mr. Sinirerly was president, failed tbe Record said editorially: "Currency tn the united state is so abundant that it cannot be loaned to advantage. We are actually loaning the gold balances due us on tbe sales ol ex ported stuffs to European borrowers, instead of bringing the gold to tbe Uni ted State, because money brings a higher rate of interest in Lotidan, Pari and JJurlin than In ?ew Xork. Our paper notes thus serve to keep gold out of tbi eountrv. Another siirnlflcant proof of the redundancy of our currency is the rapid retirement of national bank notes. Tbe voluntary retirement for the first twenty day of fcmber have reached tbe enm of 3.000.000. So largo an amount has not been retired in any one month during the last ten years," No man who believe in th gold etan dard and has any knowletre ol the cer tain result it I. sure to bring about will permit bimsulf to be financially con nected with any ordinary productive In dustrv. That Kditor Sinnrly was both sinw-re In his belief in the gold standard and iirnoraut of it. eftvete, Is shown by ths fact that ho ha. iiermitted hi. pulp and naor mill to drag down a financial institution that was otherwise In perfect condition. It Is a calamity that we are grieved to record, but einee It ha owurred, the Uit we can do Is to point anew the old old moral that falliug priwa take money out of the pMkt of the pc,pl. ah 00 financial condition make, and un make, prosperity la thi. country and In alt other miuatriea.
