' FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1895. ' Some time ago the Chicago Her ald '(a Democratic parwr of independ ent proclivities) : ivhich is run on a gold basis, published an editorial the gist of which was a cajl on tfhe "sound" money, "honest1" money men of all parties to 'pool their is sues" and make conjmcn cause against the- advocates of' ihe free coinage of silver, and to make it 'boldly and uncompromisingly under a 'sound" money .'honest" money by which it means gold standard. Early in February last Mr.' J. 0. Ilendrix, President of the National Union Bank, of New York, delivered an address at a manufacturers,' ban quet in Brooklyn, in which lie took the same ground, and boldly decare;d that the fight was to be made between silver and geld, that there was ho more tomfoolery, no mdre fence straddling, no mors compromising and no more surrendering ; that the people East of the Mississippi and North of the Potomac, who, accord . jug to him, are for. "sound" money, ''honest" inoney gold must' pome together and dropping all ether is sues throw down' the gauntlet to the men of the South and 'West and tight it out to the end on that line. This sentiment, which thus drew the sectional ljne, and declared un compromising war upon the silver 'dollar, was accepted and applauded by the men who banquetted Mr. Hendrix and' listened to h in. If t'li Chicago; paper. to which we haye re ferred and Mr. Hendri? spoke only for themselves tlieir utirances would be devoid of special significance, 'but they do ', not' speak fcf tljerpselvt-s only, but for the men who control the money and the people whom they iaflunnce" in the Noriheasten'i cornerof.ljie liquiblie, ilie'.saWUfstt i"iy h'rau- tbiutte'iu lw done: iriarea'init the densest in populaumi, jpu;'at cVp trte bJ,u 'fP4 and the one which has grown, flour ished "and .become rich out of the others.. .With its accumujated rjches it has become the mphey-Ieu'diiig Section -of the Republic'; its wealth has made it arrogant and iniperiou.s, and therefore it assumes the right io qiccatewiut tne policy lie shall be in financial matteii, just ' as It aSsSUmvO.

They are opposed ' not only to the further I coinage of silver, but also to any in- crease or tne volume oi tne currency, unless itmain with them to say what the increase shall be. The national banks, one of which the Mr. Ilendrix referred to in the beginning of this article is a distinguished rep resentative, favored the proposition made in the last Congress, and pro vided for in the banking plan devised by 'Secretary Carlisle, to let tho na tional banks issue notes to tho full face value ,of the bonds deposited by them, but they helped tokiil that bill because it a so provided for the estab lishment of a system of State banks, which had a monopoly of the money lending business. ''.there was no free coinage of sil ver in that, but the Stato bank clause proved fatal to it, for that combined the Rational banks and the votes in Congress which they could control aajaihbt it. They knew when they helped to kill the Carlisle bill that its passage would practically put an end to the silver agitation, because the State banks would supply the people with the currency they needed and thus remove to a great extent, if not altogether the cause of the agitation, but they would rather take their chances in a fight with the silver men, tliap. consent to the establishment of State banks which would take the control of the currency out of their hands and bring competitors into the field which they dreaded more than they do free silver. With them it is a fight to retain tho control they have so long bad of the volume of the currency, that's all. The less there is in circulation the higher the value and the greater the earning capacity oi what they have, the higher the in terest on what thev lend and the greater their 'prplits. tVilmiutun Star.
