Extract from American People’s Money. ENGLAND’S INTEREST IN MONOMETALISM. “But I have shown that the bill could only have passed Congress, in the absence of all public demand, ‘with the stealthy tread of a cat,’ by the force of corruption; and somebody must have furnished the money, and no small sum at that, to ‘sneak’ it through both H6uses. Who did it? Who had the interest to do it and the money to do it? Who to-day defends the system thus established and stops the European governments from agreeing to re-monetize silver by international action? England. And why does England do this? Mr. Gladstone, with charming frankness, told the whole story when he said that England would never consent to bi-metalism because she was the great creditor nation of the globe; and that the whole world was in debt to her, and was obliged to pay her thousands of millions of dollars annually, for interest; and, said he, it is England’s purpose that the money in which this interest is paid shall be the scarcest and dearest that can be found; because therewith she can buy so much more of the wheat, the cotton, the wool, the corn, the beef, the pork, the tobacco of the nations, at the lowest possible rates. She can thus supply her own people at half price, To restore the conditions which existed prior to 1873. would simply be to double England s grocery and butcher bill; and what is it to England if the whole world sinks into bottomless ruin if only she can survive? The nation that forced opium and missionaries—in the same treaty—upon the Chinese, at the point of the bayonet; and whose merchants are now giving away the same deadly drug, by the wholesale, to the Hindoos, in order to cultivate the appetite for the Hell-purveying poison among her own subjects, would shed no tears if the people of these United States, from ocean to ocean, were starving, or were swimming in a sea of fraternal blood.
