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vaults; bit In either event the country would settle go once to a silver bash since gold would command a premium and be withdrawn from circulation.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.
