They Are Organized.

On Saturday, April 27, 1895, there was a banquet of bankers in this city (Chicago) at which Mr. William C. Cornwell, president of the h York State Bankers’ association >red the principal address. Ai er things he said: “If, in 1875, 1876, 1877 and 1 78, the bankers and sound money men had been organized as they are organized now, and had spoken out as they are speaking out now, had started on a campaign of education as they are starting out now; the greenback would long ago have been wiped out; the silver lunacy, before it had wrought incalcuable damage, would have been confined to the asylums, where it belongs.” “It is time to tear off disguise. International bimetallism is a traitor in the camp. It is a false fraud. It can never be accomplished. It is a ‘will o’ the wisp’ dancing above the deadly marsh. It is as illusive as a dream of magic, as idle as the pursuit of perpetual motion, as dangerous as the delirium of fiat money.”
