AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
rormation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
The Swing Toward Silver
From Mining Truth
The world appears divided
into two classes: Those who
think something must be done
to end this depression and pre
vent another; and those who
believe that nothing can be
done. We are always and eter
nally against the can’t-be
done crowd. Nothing worth
while was ever accomplished
without the active or passive !
opposition of the can’t-be
dones.
It is significant, but not
strange, that less attention is
now being paid to mythical
reasons or incidentals, and
more attention to the two maj
or causes of the world’s plight:
Demonetization of silver, and
speculation in issued stocks.
In another column we pub-1
lish an editorial from the Can
adian Mining Journal, which
is about ready to switch from
the gold-standard cause to the
advocacy of sound money. The
Journal protests that it doesn’t
favor a fixed ratio; but the
passages in bold-face (we
picked them out for emphasis)
indicate clearly that the Journ
al is swinging toward what is
called bi-metallism. It may go
all the way in another year.
Most of the leaders in Amer
ican finance who speak in pub
lic about “stabilization” for
silver, admit in private that the
ultimate necessity is “remone
tization.” They seem to fear
that the people are not yet
ready to heed plain facts. We
do not share this distrust of
popular intelligence. We be
lieve the people are thorough
ly disgusted with the way hu
man affairs have been misman
aged. We believe the greatest,
need of the day is for leader
ship with the courage to state
the truth, even though it may
be unpleasant to many.
From Boston we have receiv- j
>d a booklet entitled “How to
2nd the Panic and Restore'
Prosperity.” The author is!
Hugh Carney; publisher, the
Thurward Press. A few pas
ages aie quoted:
“The first pressing need of
the moment is truth and lion-1
esty . . .This world panic will1
not cure itself. * * * i
“He who closes his own eyes j
or tiies to close the eyes of
others to the actual facts of
the present can hope to ac-j
complish nothing more, no i
matter how high his motives,
than to increase the disaster. *
“Much of the misery of man
kind is due to the machinations
of these over-shrewd gentle
men who live to outwit their j
fellows. * * *
“Leaders of world thought |
and action have failed us pit
ifully. * * They have tak
en us to lower and lower
depths, with bread lines ac
tually in operation in the rich- i
est cities of modern times. * ,
“Let no one be asleep to the :
dangers of Communism. * *
The sufferers from our pres
ent grim woild tragedy are al
ready challenging the forms of
our present wealth system. *
“Certain international bank
ing interests
have
*
1 sought by forcing a gold stand
ard * * to concentrate
within their own power and
control the material destinies
of many millions. * * *
“The demonetization of sil
ver * * * ripped out
and destroyed large and im
portant part of the money
structure of the world. * *
“Monetize silver throughout
the world. * * The mo
ment that this is done * *
the panic is over.”
Other important statements
of influential statesmen and
economists are summarized in
[ P. A. O’Farrell’s article in
j this issue.
