THE GOLD DRAIN
Upcn the Treasury May Be Re
newed with Increased
Intensity.
WILL JAPAN ASK GOLD FROM CHINA?
If So, the Gold Kooters Will Raid the Treas
ury, Headed By Rothschild In Person.
An entirely new phase of the fin
ancial question has been sprung upon
the people. .
Its further development will exhibit
Rothschild and his colleagues putting
gold into the United States treasury
for a commission, and then taking it
out for transmission abroad for a
higher-commission, says a special to
the Constitution from Washington.
The touch of the financial pulse
found silver beating faster, and mak
ing an effort to reach its normal stager
Tin: ui.sk ix silver.
That development was due to ad
vices from the orient to the effect that
a basis had been reached between Chi
na and Japan, the teniis of which
were that China would, have to pay
Japan an indemnity of $300,000,000.
As the currency of these t;o countries
is silver, this large ileal in that metal
was calculated to give it an inspiring
tendency. Of course, China could not
withdraw .:V.00, 000,000 from domestic
circulation, a that would not only
paralyze business ' and create starva
tion in millions of homes, but it would
be an acknowledgment to the people
by the government ot defeat by Ja
pan. That is an impression which
Chinese policy would not allow to be
made. As a matter of fact, the people
have been informed of glowing victo
ries won over the Japanese invaders,
and in davs to come these bogus victo
ries will be celebrated as great feast
davs. All this means that China
would have to go inio the markets .of
the world to purchase silver, assum
ing the amount as a publfe debt. A
demand for 000,000, 000 in the white
metal, giving it renewed use as money,
naturally stiffened the price, and if it
should materialize a long forward step
would have been takci toward the re
habilitation of silver.
Tiik shadow or oold.
But right here is where a second
touch of the financial pulse tells an
other storv.
Japan, as a ward of Great Britain,
is just now felicitating herself as be
ing one of the great power? of the
earth. In the letter of the Japanese
ambassadors, dismissing the Chinese
ambassadors because their credentials
were not sufficient, they spoke of Ja
pan as representing the principles of
modern civilization.
It was silver money th'at the British
capitalists advanced -Co Japan, and
they are not above demanding that its
payment should be in gold coin, with
an appreciated value of ." per cent
Great Britain, while anxious to secure
this kind of repayment, was too
shrewd to lose a good customer by de
manding it. But now her opportunity-has
come. Why not prompt Ja
pan to demand that her Chine-e in
demnity shall be paid in gold coin,
which, in paym ...:it o. Japanese debts,
won hi finally find its w.y back into
British colTeis. It v.oald pleas- the
leave. Then, for another $1,000, 000
bonus, these honorable bankers would
agree to float another bond isue,
which 'may be looked for within sixty
days, and the gold thus obtained
would, in due time, go to join the rest
in London. Thus, we wwuM have
presented to us the spectacle of Roths
child replenishing.thtf treasury of the
United States for a consideration, and
thru emptying it for a larger one,
while the spectacled money changers
would stand by and congratulate the
United States upon being skinned so
easily.
TlIK ACKNTS AUK OUT.
That the period of negotiation on
the two lines mentioned has been
reached is certain. Leading banks
have already sent their agents to Pe
king, so as to le on hand. One of
these men is Air. Chester Holcombe,
of New York, who will doubtless find
awaiting him three representatives
from Berlin, Paris and London.
