Lowest Rates Yet for Money

If you want to borrow money in sums of S2OOO and upward on real estate, get rates everywhere else and J. A. McFarland will discount them. Office with the People's Pilot. While all eyes are turned on the politi cal situation and many are undecided whether to cast their vote in favor of the restoration of silver or for a continuance of the present financial policy, the arena is, as üßal, bold, strong, vigorous and outspoken on the situation. In the August number, in a paper entitled “A Reply to ’A Finacial Seer,’ ” Mr. C. S. Thomas an able and successful lawyer, who has for many years made a special study of the currency question, furnishes some strong and convincing arguments in favor of the restoration of silver to its constitutional place in our currency. Mr. George Canning Hill, the Massachusetts member of the National Bimetallic Union, in a brief

paper, headed “The Morning of a New Day,” while not entering into cumbrous details, gives a clear and concise review of the money question. Although fully realizing the importance of the struggle through which the country is now pass-i ing and the neccessity which lies upon etery man to thoroughly inform himself upon this most vital question, and then to be true to himself and to his country at the polls, Mr. Hill takes an optimistic view of the situation and believes in the ultimate triumph of silver. Those who waver between free silver and gold monometallism shouid have their doubts forever set at rest by reading “Notes by the Editor” in this issue. In these Notes the Editor of the Arena, whc, by the way, in some occult fashion seems to find out the most secret plans of the gold men, makes some startling revelations in regard to the methods adopted by these gentlemen in order to force the country to a gold basis.
