there were footsteps on the gravel

If Bryan's appearance In Illinois ae
the apoelle or class hatred and sec-
tional aeimosity inspires comments
lite these among educated men in
15lgland, what effect would be pro-
duced by bis election' This question
wogs readily answered to -day by one
of the most experienced bankers in the
City. He said that the United States
Would be brought to s silver basis
within forty-eight hours. President
Cleveland, when convinced that the
country had decided in savor of the
silver party, might order the Treanor/
to pay out silver in redemption or
paper. In order to keep the gold re-
serve unimpaired. or he might allow
gold payments to be made so ions as
any gold remained In the vaults; bit
In either event the country would
settle go once to a silver bash since
gold would command a premium and
be withdrawn from circulation. A a-
nanrlal panic could not be avoided.
but when the worst was over, there
would be s. gradual adjustment of
bovines. and values to a silver hasps.
American securities would fall In
Europe and be utterly unsaleable.
mrervtway would want to sell and
nobody to buy. Every European with
money invested in America would
want to get it out as awn as
pos-
sible. The gold now in America in
the Treasury and banks or in private
hoards would be driven out. by In -
f rlor currency and brought to Lon-
don. One result of Bryan's election
would be a plethora of money in that
City, with a gradual reduction of the
bank rate. Tiflis would not be serious
but the decline oe confidence In Ameri-
can securities and the impairment oe
faith in American honesty would be
a fatal below• to the national interviste."
