THE GOLD BONCS
(The Mining and Scientific
Press.)
Clever people sometimes do
foolish things. For example, the
supporters of the McFadden
bill for granting a bounty on new
gold are making a mistake in
giving wide publicity to their so
called gold dinner, to which a
number of rich men have sub
scribed.
A hysterical evening newspa
per in San Francisco has been
publishing daily a list of sub
scribers to this affair. They
consist of bank presidents, fi
nanciers, and rich mining pro
moters. One or two mining eng
ineers are included, and weven
ture to express surprise at their
willingness to endorse the
scheme for they ought to know
that if the proposed legislation
is to be pushed thus, apparent
ly by the haute finance, it will not
receive public support, because
the stamp of class legislation
will be placed upon it.
Two reasons exist for support
ing the McFadden bill: first it
will aid an honorable and old in
dustry now crippled by adverse
conditions: second it will pro
tect the gold reserve of the Un
ited States.
The lass splash the wealthy
part of the community makes
at this juncture, the better it
will be for those directly inter
ested in gold mining.
